    Cantina Burger and  Street Corn
    Marvin Y.

    I had come to the place before in early 2021 and had the complete wrong idea. Now that it's fully open, I never noticed how spacious and inviting this place is. I came on a Monday night to watch the Lions v Ravens and I had a great time. They have $5 Margaritas on Mondays and I had ordered the burger and street corn as well which were amazing, loved the jalapeños in there. They even let me bring in my dog to sit and chill. The staff were very accommodating and nice as they had also brought my dog a water bowl with ice. Will definetly be back.

    male security guard abruptly barged into the women's restroom

    I am sharing this because no patron should be subjected to aggressive, intimidating, or inappropriate conduct, especially in a space (aka the WOMENS RESTROOM) where women should feel safe and respected February 21, 2026 at approximately 1:00 AM I was patiently waiting in line for the women's restroom, speaking respectfully with others in line. As we approached the front, a male security guard abruptly barged into the women's restroom, forcing the door open aggressively while shining a flashlight directly at us (as shown in the attached photo). The door was pushed with enough force that it struck the women standing directly in front of me. I immediately warned him that he was pushing the door into women and that his behavior was aggressive and unsafe. He showed no concern and instead proceeded to shine his flashlight directly into my face. He then allowed a different group of women who had been behind us in line to enter ahead of us. It was alarming and inappropriate for a male security guard to forcibly enter the women's restroom in that manner, physically push the door into female patrons, and use intimidation tactics like shining a flashlight directly into my face. After I spoke up out of concern for the women who had been pushed by the door, his behavior escalated further. While my friend stepped out briefly to understand the situation and defend me, I proceeded to use the restroom. At that point, the same male security guard again shined his flashlight directly into my face and then escorted me out of the bar, despite the fact that I had not acted aggressively, violated any rules, or done anything to warrant removal. I was respectful, compliant, and simply trying to use the restroom. Being singled out, intimidated, and removed without cause--especially after a male guard aggressively barged into the women's restroom--was shocking, humiliating, and unacceptable. I am sharing this because no patron should be subjected to aggressive, intimidating, or inappropriate conduct, especially in a space where women should feel safe and respected.

    This is a cool place to go only once. It's not a place I would be excited to go back. There is indoor and outdoor dinning area. It's better to sit outside, if people want to have conversations. If you're there for drinking i recommend sitting inside . Drinks are ok nothing special. Frozen margarita did not tasted like the other frozen margaritas that I have tried. I would give one star. Nachos was good. I would give it five star. P.S There is security outside. They check the bags and pockets.

    My friends and I came for taco Tuesday and the 3 tacos for $5 dollars was definitely worth the slightly rude service. I wouldn't not come back. Plenty of TVs and cool indoor/outdoor place.

    This review is for last Friday the 8th. We Made it here just in time for happy hour. Happy hour ends at 7 so we were able to get the night started with margarines and there happy hour tacos. They are really good the drinks were strong tacos were good kinda spicy but good The DJ is playing Jams all night and they really start to get busy around 10

    El Tejano is a fun spot with great vibes! We had a great time, drinks are reasonably priced, and the food is very good. Parking, however, can be a real challenge, especially on busy nights. Also, I really wish they never removed the billiard table, it was a great touch that added to the atmosphere. Still, it's a solid place to hang out with friends, enjoy good food, and sip on drinks without breaking the bank.

    This place can get busy at night but around 7:30pm on a Saturday it's completely chill. We enjoyed micheladas and a Baja taco and it has been so delicious! Highly recommend. If you want more of a party atmosphere just come back later at night. Also very chill.

    From the moment I arrived and was greeted by two bouncers lounging in chairs and enjoying their meals, I knew this wasn't going to be my kind of place. Talk about a warm welcome--if by "warm" you mean as inviting as a refrigerator! Once inside, my bartender seemed to be more interested in her phone than in serving drinks. After a delightful wait, she finally took my order for a Hendricks and tonic. At $14.00 for the drink, I guess I was paying for the ambiance of a distracted bartender! To add a twist, there was a mysterious $0.42 service charge that I'm still trying to decipher--especially since I was paying cash. Isn't it nice when they throw in surprise charges? After tax, which was $1.41, I paid with a $20 bill. She handed me back $4.00, despite the fact that my change should have been $4.17. Now, I'm not losing sleep over the $0.17, but it does make you wonder how many other coins might be going missing behind the bar. A bartender's little tricks can leave you questioning what else might be slipping through the cracks--like honesty! After finishing my drink, I decided it was time to make my exit and find a place where the service is as refreshing as the cocktails.

    Came here for taco Tuesday. The taco Tuesday 3 for 5$ deal that they offer is very misleading to what they show on their social media. We ordered tacos and we were served mini tostadas with a flat hard shell. Don't say that it's a taco when it's clearly not. If I wanted a tostada I would've ordered tostadas but I wanted tacos. We asked the bartender about this and he said it was 5$ for a regular taco. And the meat was mushy too which is not my favorite. However, the big cowboy drink we ordered was delicious and they have boombox bingo on Tuesdays which was very fun. Also the female security guard talked very low when we entered. I couldn't really hear her with all the loud music going on. And the table was dirty too. There's no one cleaning tables.

    El Tejano reminds me of the vibe of Papas & Beer so if you want a white linen fine dining experience go somewhere else. But if you are okay with a casual and fun atmosphere to watch some sports, definitely check this place out. The SALSA was SO good. Like actually fresh and home made with a lovely amount of heat. Surprisingly, one of the best parts of our meal was the sautéed kale that came with the chicken bowl. The guacamole and pico were a little sad, however. I am looking forward to my next visit to try the famous massive margs.

What I didn't expect was this other bartender, who was on the complete other side of the bar and didn't communicate me with at all, was actually filling my drink. I didn't realize that, because he didn't tell me, so I turned to walk back to my table. This rude bartender thought I was abandoning my drink or something, and used his big boy voice to yell "YOUR DRINK!" so loudly that everyone at the bar stopped to stare at me, and some were laughing. Now I didn't know that intentionally embarrassing your patrons is how you guys do business, but ok, whatever makes you feel important I guess... The original bartender who took my order came by and checked and on our table later in the night, and he asked us something that neither my friend or I could hear, so I said "I'm sorry, what?" and he rolled his eyes and walked away. Alternatively, a few months ago, my husband and his friend came here and they received the complete opposite treatment - free drinks, conversations with the bartenders, and were welcomed. I never come into a restaurant/bar, especially a small business, expecting anything for free, that isn't my point at all. I do however expect basic manners and respect. Based on our very different experiences recently, there does seem to be a hint of misogyny going on here. This place used to be cool and friendly, and food has always been great, but the men who work here completely ruin it. It's really disappointing.

Burgers are a great option but that French Dip Is amazing!! Loaded with meat, SOFT BREAD, side of horseradish. and dipping in tasty au jus... perfect!! They have some fry options like seasoned, garlic parm, and spicy. The spicy fries have a great kick! And PLUS they are beef tallow fries. There's plenty of parking as well- street or lot. Great place for a date, happy hour, birthdays, and meeting up with friends!

    Update: Eva, I had really appreciated how quickly and…read moreprofessionally you had responded. It felt like a great way to handle it, however this edit feels pretty gross. It wasn't simple a "comment in passing," I can give you some pretty graphic details from the conversation, but I don't think they are appropriate for a restaurant review. Feel free to check footage to see how long I had to wait for a break in their "comment in passing." I don't love the implication that I'm either being untruthful or overestimating the seriousness of discussing children and intercourse in the same breath in this news cycle. I take it seriously, as do my family, friends and neighbors. I wish wholeheartedly you had just stuck with your first response. This used to be our neighborhood go-to, but after the strange interaction I had today, I probably won't be back. I approached the bar to order at three minutes before 3. This is notable because lunch ends at three, happy hour begins at three. There was no acknowledgment of my arrival, but no big deal. There was a man seated at the bar who was ready to order. Also fine. He asked if "this was a bar" and "do you have beer," and then said "it's happy hour, right? What's a minute or two." The female bartender with glasses says, "yeah, no problem." She pours his beer, processes his payment. Then, instead of approaching me to take my order, begins a bizarre conversation about middle schoolers having intercourse on school trips. Weird choice to make in our current social climate, but to each their own? While I waited for a break in their conversation, my dog said hi to another patron. As soon as I found an opportunity to speak, I asked if I could still get the lunch special. It was literally 3:01. I was told that since it was a minute after, it wasn't possible to even place the order, that the "button changes." So, the minute mattered for lunch, but not for happy hour. If we hadn't been discussing teenage coitus, the button still would have been accessible. I went elsewhere.
