Fajitas for two
Debbie M.

Service was great. Food was really good and plenty of it just spicier than I like. We ordered the fajitas for two. Price was very reasonable.

Shrimp and lamb platter, and Michelada!
Neha J.

Great service with a smile, delicious flavors!!! Hole in the wall place that is worth coming to! Saw several local regulars here!

Fish tacos
Susan T.

Traveling thru and saw this place on Yelp and it was near us so we gave it a try. Not disappointed! The chicken enchiladas and Sweet Potato bakery item were the best!

Fajitas for 2 with sides.
Elsa J.

Passing through on our way back to Dallas and found great reviews on this little place in Amarillo. It's a hole in the wall, so do not let that discourage you. We ordered the fajitas for 2 & it came with rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, guacamole on a bed of lettuce. The food came out fresh out hot. The beef was so delicious and the chicken, just a little dry, but very flavorful. Lastly, the service was great & personable too. Not too pricey at all! I highly recommend this place in Amarillo.

Nachos. Simple but fabulous!!
Jill F.

This is a diamond in the rough. Amazing food! Randomly even the Hickory burger was perfect. Simple nachos were very nice. Each homemade chip had cheese and was organized, not messy nachos so easy to eat. The fajita bowl for two was Huge with two plates also full of veggies, refried beans and rice for each. I am visiting from Lubbock. I wish we had an authentic Mexican restaurant. Green sauce was Not mild so watch out. Spicy spice! Amarillo has the best 'hole in the wall' restaurants of anywhere, my opinion.

Chicken-stuffed Chile Relleno , Brisket Enchilada, rice, and beans.
Lori T.

Sometimes simple authenticity wins. What a pleasant surprise from this bright red restaurant with a bright lime-green interior housed in an unassuming little building. We had a delicious meal here: the spicy, fresh salsa was obviously housemade, the marinated brisket in the enchilada was rich in flavor and fork-tender, the taco was crispy-delicious, the chicken-stuffed Chili Relleno was amazing, and the guacamole on the Chalupa was perfect. Everything was delightfully fresh and very tasty. So glad we ended up here on our way through Amarillo.

Visiting my girlfriend and her family in Amarillo led me to trying some of their favorite places in…read morethe city. My girlfriend's mom was especially excited to take me to El Tejaven while I was visiting. This dinner was a celebration of my girlfriend's sister playing in the top All-Region orchestra. It has nothing to do with the food itself, but I want to mention it because she did a great job performing and I think it deserves to be remembered here. It is the reason we went in the first place. It was a busy night at El Tejaven before we arrived. A group of 32 was just wrapping up dinner. Thirty two people. At that point, just cater, dawg. It took about 20 minutes after arrival to get seated, but it likely would have been much quicker if it were not for a group that size. Once we were seated, we were served chips and salsa. The salsa was spicier than I was prepared for, but it was good. The chips were excellent as well. Most people at the table ordered margaritas on the rocks, while I got a dressed Dos Equis on draft. From what I tasted, the margaritas were solid. For appetizers, we ordered the small queso and the small ceviche. The queso was standard but good. The ceviche, on the other hand, was exceptional. I could have eaten a large bowl by myself. I was pretty hungry, so I ordered the Orden de Tacos, which comes with four tacos on corn tortillas. I got all of them with al pastor. I also added a side of rice and beans, which normally comes with the three taco order but can be added on for the four tacos. The tacos were very good and exactly what you want from street style al pastor, especially with the cilantro and onions. It comes out to roughly four dollars per taco if you do the math. The rice and beans were both great and I ate all of it easily. The plate also came with a side of guacamole that had a nice kick, which I enjoyed. Living in Austin with family in San Antonio, it is easy to find good and authentic Mexican food. That does not always seem to be the case in Amarillo, so it is nice to know there is at least one spot in the city that feels authentic and not overly gringoified. My girlfriend's family knows ball.

Real, non machine made flour tortillas. Huge mug of Modela on tap, ice cold of course. The hubby got eggs over easy with chilaquiles which were delicious. But my star was the chile rellenos. They give you two! The sauce, the batter, the peppe, r the cheese inside; everything about this relleno was just perfect. I believe it was the best I've ever had. Definitely could never eat it all but I would order it again. Rice and beans on. Queso ok. Service was above and beyond great. They had a bunch of other things that looked really good and a lot of seafood items. Spic and span clean on the outside and the inside. Would definitely recommend

Food selection was too hard to choose so I married it down to a bowl of soup or enchiladas. Waitress recommended the beef soup with fresh handmade tortillas. We had tortilla chips and two salsas until the food arrived. The other person on my party had carnitas tacos and I tasted those as they came to the table first. Tender meat, delicate cheese sprinkled on them and refried beans that were smooth and comforting. Then my extra large bowl of soup arrived with two limes on the side. Large chunks of pot roast beef so tender the spoon just melted through them. There was potato, carrot, cabbage and onion in a delicate but flavorful beef base broth. I added some of the spicy salsa to mine as I'm a "spicy" girly and it was just perfect. As I mentioned a received homemade flour tortilla but had a choice of corn if desired. The tortillas are the ones that are hand thrown and chewy and just O.M.G. The best I've ever had. Don't walk ... run to this establishment. I will return again and again.

We were brought individual flights of salsa to go with the chips. My michelada hit the spot. Was it the best? No. But it scratched the itch. I couldn't decide on what to eat. Until I saw green chili stew and asado. I moved away from Midland in 2015. You don't really find asado away from West Texas. The music wasn't too loud and the lighting wasn't too bright or too dim.

We ordered queso and they brought us a little cup because they were out and said they weren't going to charge us for it. We ordered our food and it took forever to get to our table and both of our dishes were cold. We advised the manager that it was taking a long time and she said fish tacos do take a while, but they were also cold. When I told her my food was cold, she took my plate and said I guess you want me to take this from you, asked my friend how her food was. My friend said OK but my tacos are cold and she said she'll comp her meal and then I was brought a ticket for just drinks. No offer to fix anything or get us hot food. The waitress even said they put the avocado on the wrong plate but didn't offer to fix it. I will not go back
