An awesome mt.pleasant staple! When you see people wait in this long ass line on the weekends it's really that good. I got the 956 with cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon, fried potatoes, refried beans, queso drizzle, cilantro garnish and the 512 with cheesy scrambled eggs, 2Fifty Texas BBQ chopped brisket, queso drizzle, side of pico de gallo. I think these 2 are the best on my opinion because all the fillings go so well together and mega flavorful. I went on a Friday morning around 8:30am and the line wasn't too long, but prepared to wait on a Saturday or Sunday because everyone also got the same idea lol. Service is awesome everyone was really nice :) order came out fast too! read more

Heard from a coworker that these tacos were as close to Texas breakfast tacos as possible so I was intrigued. Parking is only street parking so be aware it can be hard to find a spot. Took me about 30 minute to get a spot on a residential street. Line was slightly out the door but line moved fast. Got the 7 tacos (2x956, 2xLa Choripapa, 1xSuper Migas, 1xSuper Duper Migas, 1x512) and 2 dirty horchata. Came out in about 5 minutes. Not much indoor seating but I believe they had an upstairs section too. Tacos lived up to the hype. Pretty good size tacos with the right amount of filling. Tortillas were perfect. Salsas were good, especially that cilantro crema. Despite the tough parking situation I would definitely come back. read more

It took an hour round trip to get a couple breakfast burritos. Was it worth it? Definitely I got the 956 and unwrapped the foil, still warm and delicious. They'd be good to take on a work day but it's Saturday and I'm enjoying them at home with some coffee. Since I can't remark on the ambiance, having never seen the restaurant I just share where it takes me to when I taste. The tortilla is unique, probably handmade and tightly wrapped around the filling. I am reminded of the San Antonio river walk. It wasn't wet or juicy by the time I got it, maybe they are right out of the kitchen but, it was not dry either. The eggs were jiggly and bacon bits added salty savory texture. I dripped red sauce on every bite and enjoyed them a little bit spicy. read more

La Tejana is a local D.C. Mexican restaurant with a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating. It's situated on a side street which has absolutely no parking, even within 15 min. walking distance as it's closer to a residential area. So uber or Lyft unless you live close enough. I came here all the way from Fairfax with my husband hoping to try a few of their breakfast tacos. I go there at about 11am and waited in line for 1 and a half hours just to order. When I finally stepped inside I found that the majority of their tacos (literally except for 2 types) were sold out. Not only that but they only had one vegetarian option left (I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I don't eat pork of any kind which most of the non veggie tacos had) and they refused to do any type of modification (literally just wanted to remove the bacon). This proved to be anxiety inducing for me as I had already planned out what I was going to order and couldn't eat the majority of what they offered. Another person behind me who was vegan waited in line for no reason as the vegan option was sold out. While I understand they are popular and will sell out quicker than normal places, I would have expected someone to come out and tell the line of 40+ people that they were sold out of most items so they wouldn't have to wait for no reason if they didn't have to. I was really upset that I basically waited in line to get only one type of taco that I didn't even want. They also didn't give me the correct amount of sauces for my two tacos. There was supposed to be one of each sauce with each taco, but I only received 2 instead of 4. Furthermore the sauces were tiny like less than an ounce of sauce, which they were selling extras for 50 cents a piece. Now onto the food. The breakfast tacos were decent, but very tiny (think cheesy roll up from Taco Bell size) and had little flavor without the sauces. The sauces did add quite a bit of flavor to it, and I really enjoyed the cilantro crema and would honestly buy that by the bottle if I could. But at nearly $5 a taco they were way too small. Honestly I might come back just to try the tacos I wanted to try, but will have to come really early to do so. TLDR: The tacos are decent, but the sauces are amazing. They are too pricy for their tiny size, and the customer service was horrible because they didn't come out to tell anyone waiting outside for hours that most of their tacos were sold out; that's not just terrible customer service, that's an indecent thing to do as a human being. I would hesitate to come back but only really early. read more

Breakfast tacos are still awesome and they have opened a night time cocktail bar that is very good as well. My favorite breakfast tacos are la choripopa, super duper migas, and the 512. La choripopa is super savory with chorizo and the potatoes. It's excellent. Super Duper migas is veggie option paired with bacon it has awesome flavor with the beans cheese and bacon. 512 is brisket with eggs. It's so good and worth the extra price. The tortillas here are freshly made and are perfect not too chewy and are pillowy soft. The night time cocktail bar has awesome drinks and small plates. I got a hibiscus margarita and a chicken taco it was very good. The marg was perfectly mixed. Had nice sweet notes of hibiscus mixed with the punchiness of the tequila and the spicy rim. Well worth a visit. Service is always nice and friendly. The interior has a seating area up stairs and patio seating. read more

Amazed with this food. The place is located at a busy area so parking is a challenge. There's a line to order and the place is pretty small so come with time and patience. Once ordered it comes out pretty quick. I got the 512- which is a brisket taco and it is more expensive than the others in the menu. It was all it promised to be. I also got the migas taco and it was pretty great as well. Their green sauce was amazing so I would definitely ask for extras next time. This was a great place to have breakfast, they have a little outside sitting area and some sitting inside I think since I saw some people that went up stairs after ordering. This is definitely worth it and I will come back read more

The tacos were just ok overall. The tortilla was excellent. But the fillings were nothing special. They are also quite small. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but for the price it's not a lot of taco. Parking was a nightmare, which is not their fault but just be aware that it can be difficult to park. The wait was short when I was there but I've seen long lines at other times. Don't think I would go out of my way to eat here again and personally would not wait in line either read more

This place is a cute local and small shop vibe - there is seating upstairs and the tacos came out pretty quickly. For me, maybe I'm just not a breakfast taco person, it's not a place I'd come back to. I thought the tortillas were great and the sauces as well but without them, the filling fell flat. The bacon specifically was too thick and hard in contrast with the other filling. My husband did like the brisket and chorizo ones, and I probably should have opted for vegetarian. Overall, probably decent in terms of breakfast tacos in the area but not my thing. read more

Went here for some early morning breakfast tacos. The line is always long but moves relatively quick. The food is also great! Definitely on the pricey side for small tacos but they have a good variety. Excited to return in the future and try more of the options! read more

La Tejana - Tex-Mex Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'd take these breakfast tacos over a bagel any day in DC--and that's saying something. The quality is outstanding, and my favorite is the brisket taco from 2Fifty. I've been twice now: the first time I waited in a long line, and the second time it was only about 15 minutes. That said, the seating situation isn't ideal. There aren't many benches or tables nearby, so you'll either grab one of the outdoor spots or settle for the small stools (as shown in one of my photos). Still, the food makes it worth it. I definitely recommend going for the three-taco deal. They sell out quickly, so getting there early is your best bet. On my first visit, only two taco options were left by the time I ordered--so if you want the full selection, aim to beat the line and go as close to opening as possible. read more

I arrived 12:09 pm to a line out the door but it moved rather quickly and we started eating around 12:28 pm! This is a no frill breakfast spot with well executed breakfast tacos at a fair price ~$4-7 per taco. I'd recommend getting the 956 as the ultimate combo of their core ingredients. Their refried beans are delicious and all of their sauces are AMAZING. If you're in the area I'd highly recommend coming by. Ambiance was quick and straight to the point. In order of preference: El Frijolito - Tortilla filled with refried beans; the refried beans have a LOVELY flavor and the texture was broken up with some diced, crisp onions. 956 - Bacon also ran out by the time I got there, this was pretty good. It seems the intention was to have soft potatoes, I wonder how this would be with crispy potatoes! The 512 - Pico de gallo ran out by the time I came, this was pretty solid. Super Mijas - Nice combo of eggs, some veggies, and queso but I would have liked it with refried beans and other textures. read more

This review is for the breakfast tacos. They hit the spot every time and are worth waiting in line for. You will wake up craving them, impatiently wait for them and they will satisfy, every damn time. No wrong choices on the menu. Pick what sounds good in the moment. The salsas are incredible too. Every part of this breakfast is handmade with love and you can taste it. Pro tip: seating upstairs is spacious and not crowded read more

One of the many restaurants in Mt Pleasant I have been wanting to try. Stopped here right before they closed and got the la choripapa and 956. The 956 was my favorite of the two. The choripapa was good as well. The potatoes were a bit dry and old but given that I ordered 30 minutes before they closed they were decent. They were sold out of quite a few already so go earlier if there is a particular taco you want. The avocado creams sauce was tasty. The salsa was gross, it tasted like puréed tomatoes and nothing else. The inside is quite small but there's seating outside you can use. read more

My friend is local to DC and insisted that we stop here for breakfast tacos. Never one to turn down a good breakfast taco, I eagerly agreed. I was a bit concerned when we walked up and were greeted by a line about 50 people deep. My friend assured me that the lined moved quickly and the food was worth the wait. Trust the process. I ordered the 956, Súper Migas, and Tio Willie. I also had the horchata iced coffee. The food was seriously amazing and the coffee was so simple but so delicious. As a plus, my vegetarian friend was able to enjoy several taco options as well. We ate upstairs. Though it was a bit cramped, we were able to enjoy our tacos inside on a warm day. I would definitely return to La Tejana on my next trip to DC. read more

What a popular place. My friend I got here mid morning on Saturday and the line was down the block. It took about 45 mins before we got inside to order. We ordered 5 tacos and their Dirty Horchata. Our favorite tacos were The 512. The brisket was soft and had plenty of egg. All the little sauces provided were delicious and we used it all. Our beverages were really good too. Such a cool little breakfast taco spot. The wait was definitely worth it! read more

I knew La Tejana was popular, but I didn't realize how popular until I showed up on a Sunday morning and saw the line out the door. But don't panic. The staff runs this place like a well-oiled taco machine, and I had my food in hand within five minutes of ordering. I got The 512, Tio Willie, and Super Migas, and honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite. They were all that good. The sauces on the side were a great touch. I was obsessed with the cilantro crema salsa. They only do breakfast, but they do it right. There's seating upstairs and outside. I was shocked to see the line stretched all the way to the end of the block when we left. But for good reason. If you haven't been yet, definitely check this spot out! read more

This place is straightforward - expect to wait in line no matter what time you arrive, expect to get at least three tacos, and expect to be very satisfied with your order. Nothing misses on this menu. I'm always skeptical when places on my neighborhood go viral on TikTok, but this one is worth the hype. While I wouldn't necessarily say it's a hole in the wall, seating is limited, and the tacos don't hold all too well. If you're lucky eat there. If not, there's a very nice park across the street or cafe down the block to enjoy them! read more

I was really excited to try this spot out after seeing so many reviews on TikTok, but this place was extremely over hyped. The tacos were lacking flavor. The tortilla was very good but these were very basic tacos. The brisket taco was dry like beef jerky. I would not come here again. I really liked the 956 but how hard is it to make bacon, eggs and cheese. The chorizo was lacking flavor too. I liked the breakfast potatoes inside of the tacos. read more

How had i never heard of this place before???? A friend took me and I was blown away by their tacos. Delicious. Fairly priced for that they're work. The place is pretty small for how much business they have, but in these times they should continue to make due. Apparently the line gets pretty long, but going on a weekday for breakfast thwarted that. I cant wait to go back read more

YUM! My friend lives up the block from here and said we HAD to get breakfast tacos while I was visiting. The line is LONG so you know that means the hype is real! We didn't wait long in line - maybe 10 minutes? - as they were cruising through orders. Yes, they ONLY serve breakfast tacos (or until 1pm, okay?!) No, there's nowhere to sit inside - everyone takes to go, sits outside on the patio sets, or upstairs. They take your order, get you your paper bag of goodness and get you on your way. Yes, there's only 9 options so you don't have analysis paralysis. And yes, they're a bit in the pricey side. But they're a good size, more like mini burritos. I SO wish they offered a corn tortilla option but understand that they have their tortillas perfected and that's the way it is! You can't go wrong here. Perfect weekend brunch on the go! read more

I got the 3 tacos for $14, ordering la choripapa, super duper migas and the 956. All three had great flavor and eating 3 was enough to fill me up for breakfast.

El frijolito and la Betsy are so good i always joke that i want 6 tacos for myself. But mostly so i can eat more later or the next day I don't like their eggs. But i love their beans! Nom nom. Great options for both vegetarians, vegans, and also meat eaters. I Skip the horchata coffee. It was overly sweet and pretty gross but hey maybe if you like those sugary bs starbucks drinks than it would be up your alley. I'd recommend getting additional salsa cause sometimes two sauces is not enough. Walk here if you can. Parking can be rough. Lots of places to sit down and eat outside. read more

We came around 12:40pm on a Sunday which was 20 mins before they close and there was still a short line! However, they were sold out of almost all of their breakfast tacos at this point, so definitely try to go earlier! The service was extremely fast after we placed our order. We got the chorizo breakfast taco which was very good! Next time look forward to trying the other ones. The inside is very small, there's no seating, just a tiny bar to stand at and eat (maybe can fit 4-5 people). read more

Solid breakfast tacos! While the prices are pretty high for a taco, the flavor and quality continues to be consistently good. I would say its worth the try and might even become your new go to breakfast spot if you live in the area however its not necessarily worth the super long line I see form on the weekends. Just come literally any other day and theres usually little to no wait! read more

Okay I see what the rave is about. Honestly the highlight of the show for me was the green tomatillo salsa, chefs kiss. We grabbed some brunch takeout on a Friday. The line was steady but we were in and out in about 30 mins or less. The music was gray and the service was pleasant! I tried the chori papa, 395 and the frijolito (regular). Now these had been sitting for about 45 mins before we got home and they were still warm and still VERY DELICIOUS. I would recommend eating them right away but I wouldn't be against takeout again! The tortillas were definitely made in house which is a huge plus! The beans were delicious and well seasoned! Since it is a DC staple, I recommend! read more

Really darn tasty. Service- ordering and receiving your food are within 5 mins. Professional and personable. Menu- there is a nice variety of breakfast tacos. Something for everyone. Food-I got super duper migos and 512. But had very different flavor profiles and super enjoyable. The tortilla had a nice chew to it and hearty, I love a flour tortilla! And the dipping sauces complemented the tacos to perfection. Space- counter order and small seating area upstairs and on outdoor patio. I went on a Wednesday morning and only waited for 2-3mins, I have def walked by and seen a line out the door so maybe avoid weekend mornings. read more

I've been here for their cocktail/evening menu a few times and while it's limited, it is very satisfying. Their guac and chips are probably the best I've had in the city and it's a great portion size for sharing between 2-3 people. I also had their gin coconut cream cocktail that transported me to a beach in the Caribbean. It tasted like a fresh Pina colada and was delicious. This bar is so underrated and I'm glad to have a low key cocktail experience in DC where you don't need a reservation or have to wait a long time. read more

This place is such the hit. I do enjoy the burritos. Though the limited hours can make it tough. I had no idea the amount of seating space. I thought there was just the front room and outside area. But be sure to head up the stairs where you'll find plenty of options to sit down. The best food? Come here early for its breafast burritos stuffed with scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese, all topped with a side of salsa. These burritos are truly delish and there are so many ways to customize. read more

Quite possibly the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. Keeping the menu simple and absolutely killing it are my favorite type of restaurants and La Tejana nails this concept.

I LOVE La Tejana! The hype is well-deserved, and the owners are amazing people. This was my first time trying non-breakfast food from LT and they definitely did not disappoint! For this visit, I got the 2 tostadas for $19 deal and a taco de camarón. I really liked the tostadas- the ceviche was so flavorful and they gave plenty of it (even to go). One contained would have been enough for 2 but I thoroughly enjoyed all of it so I was glad to have it. The taco was AMAZING! I'm hoping these aren't seasonal because I need another (or 2) ASAP. I also got a spicy hibiscus margarita, which was a perfect blend of flavor. I went on a Friday night and there was an event going on outside, so they were busier than usual. It was a little tight in the lobby area but we moved quickly through and some people were asked to wait outside if they had a larger group, so it worked out. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. read more

I've been meaning to drop by here for awhile and finally had the opportunity to this weekend! While my friends and I were already in a high energy mood after the Nats game, we decided to meet some friends here for some post game snacks and cocktails. From the outside, I would have never known there was an upstairs area. And while the space is a bit tight, the cocktails and food ordered by the table were all delicious. They also didn't mind us acting up a bit, being silly and a little loud. It was a down to earth, casual atmosphere with plenty of natural light and lots of vibrant energy. The newly opened cocktail bar I believe is open Thursday-Sundays and showcases some amazing cocktails. Make sure to check them out! read more

Pipe down y'all, this place does not deserve hype. It only appears like there are long lines but that's because you can only fit up to 5 inside. I've tried this place 3 times now. I thought my initial perceptions of this place wasn't great because of my bias towards tejana buying out my favorite laotian hole in the wall Sabydee and so I hadn't reviewed the first 2 times, but time after time, these tacos disappoint. The homemade flour tortillas are too thick! The fillings are decent but all you can taste is the tortilla. The only taco that has enough flavor inside to balance out the thick tortillas is the 512 with 2Fifty brisket, $7. Also tried the 956, chorizo, super duper migas. All 3 ($13 total) were generally disappointing this time around. However, I have liked the chorizo and super duper migas in the past. The cilantro crema and avocado tomatillo are the best sauces. Habanero salsa is too sweet, hardly spicy. In fact, the avocado tomatillo packs more of a punch than habanero salsa. Charred tomato salsa just tastes like tomatoes with herbs. It'd make a pretty nice pasta sauce but even this tomato sauce is spicier than the habanero lol. Also got the dirty horchata which has plenty of cinnamon but barely any rice flavor, as if it's been watered down, for $5. For the quality you get, it's way overpriced. Eating here makes me want to book a flight to San Antonio and chase my palate down with good tex mex. Or just stick with the other Mt. Pleasant central american gems. read more

I was excited to give this place a try but left a little disappointed. The ingredients were good and tortillas were very fresh. But the tacos were pretty boring to be honest. The flavor wasn't there and they felt pretty basic. I'd say the 956 was the best taco of them all. The 512 was pretty bad though. Service was fast and the inside was nice. Probably wouldn't drive out of my way for it again though. read more
