What can I say, that hasn't been said about a restaurant my wife and I've been dining at for close to 40 years? Not much when we continue to receive superior service and incredible entrees and drinks each time we dine at the restaurant. Today's visit was no exception. I had a dear friend, a digital nomad, who was in town checking into her office and catching up with family. Bri wanted to meet up for Happy Hour and catch up with the two of us. It'd over a year since we'd last spent time together in Cozumel. My wife and I arrived before Bri and were shown to our table. Jose, one of Ojedas' incredible servers, introduced himself and took our drink orders. Of course, it was margarita time and bring on the chips and Ojedas' incredible salsa. It's just spicy enough to keep everything interesting. I received a text from my friend letting me know she was running a bit late and for us to go on and order. My wife and I are such regulars, we don't even need a menu. My wife always orders a #3, a puff taco accompanied with rice and beans. Most of the time I order a #4, 3 chalupas with queso, guac and beans, dressed out. By the time our server walked into the kitchen he was out again in a flash since there really wasn't any exhaustive prep that had to be put into our two entrees. We did have a little bit of time to sip on our frozen margaritas and dip freshly fried tortilla chips in our favorite salsa. It is SO good. Just as we were finishing up, Bri arrived. She ordered off the Happy Hour menu and was very happy to see us. Jose kept coming by to ensure there was nothing we needed. Bri was SO happy with our choice of restaurant to meet at. She loved the atmosphere and especially the chips and salsa. The restaurant wasn't too busy, so we didn't have to rush to vacate our table. We were able to sit leisurely and get caught up on all Bri's world travels. Thank you Jose and the staff of Ojedas for NEVER letting us down. We love all of you. read more

While visiting Ojeda's Mexican Restaurant for a wedding weekend, we made a stop since it's one of my husband's favorite Mexican spots in Dallas. Overall, it was just okay for me. The highlight was definitely the margarita. It was really good and probably the best part of the meal. I ordered the sour cream enchiladas with rice and beans. They were decent, but not the best I've had, so I wasn't blown away. The chips were fresh and tasty, and I preferred the hot salsa over the mild. Service was good and attentive throughout our visit, which I appreciated. On the way out, we purchased some peanut brittle, which was a nice touch. It was good, just a bit on the sweeter side. Prices felt fair for what you get. Overall, nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either--just an okay experience. read more

Ojeda's - Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place has plenty of reviews, and after visiting, I can see why. Ojeda's is a spacious Tex-Mex spot with fun decor. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuinely friendly service. Heads up: there are two entrances. I accidentally walked into the takeout/to-go counter at first instead of the sit-down entrance, but staff were quick to point me in the right direction. I read beforehand that the margaritas can be strong, and that definitely checked out. The large (16 oz) house margarita packed a punch, so keep that in mind if you're driving or ordering more than one. Chips and salsa came out quickly, and the salsa leans on the hotter side, but it's still very manageable, even for someone like me, as long as you pace yourself before the food arrives. I ordered the brisket tacos, which were excellent and came with rice, beans, and fresh slices of tomato and avocado. Portions were generous, and I definitely left full and happy. Overall, this is a solid Tex-Mex option I'd absolutely return to and keep in my regular rotation when I'm nearby. read more

Cute inside - love the lights in the bar! My friend and I both had the Monday $9.50 daily special that came with a puff beef taco, a cheese enchilada, beans and rice. Yum! Loved the cheese enchilada the most. One star off for the beans - really stiff! They make their own chips and salsa in-house and you can tell - delish! Excellent service - definitely a family affair...you can tell how much everyone who works here truly cares. read more

Ojeda's - Daily special Monday! Beef Puffed Taco, cheese enchilada with rice & beans = $9.50 - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I came here for dinner last night with my dad. He's been coming here for 20 years and our server recognized him and was very sweet. I wasnt a big fan of the chips and salsa- the chips didn't seem fresh and the salsa was too spicy and just not great. Our margaritas were great subs we shared some steak fajitas. The fajita stuff was cooked really well and was super tasty. If you want Tex Mex, definitely recommend this gem. read more

Late post! Cinco de mayo had the taco plate and nachos of course good beer. Had a great cinco de mayo. Thank you to ojedas family!!

I miss being near Ojeda's in Dallas! Used to frequent it weekly! It was always my guilty pleasure when I lived nearby!

Ojeda's is nothing short of Tex-Mex heaven! From the moment you sit down, you know you're in for something special. The salsa comes out first -- fresh, bold, and full of flavor -- the kind of salsa you can't stop scooping up with warm chips until the basket's empty. Pair that with one of their perfectly balanced margaritas (strong, smooth, and refreshingly tart), and you're off to the best start possible. But the true star? The legendary puffy tacos. Crispy, airy, and golden on the outside, yet sturdy enough to hold the perfectly seasoned fillings inside -- they're pure magic. Every bite is a mix of textures and flavors that sets Ojeda's apart from anywhere else. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with that classic neighborhood Tex-Mex feel, and the staff makes you feel right at home. It's the kind of place you can bring friends, family, or out-of-town guests to show off what Tex-Mex is all about. Ojeda's nails it every single time -- incredible food, killer margaritas, and a vibe that makes you want to linger. If you haven't tried the puffy tacos yet, you're missing out on one of the best bites in Dallas. Five stars doesn't even feel like enough! read more

have not been here for literally two or three decades. Didn't remember a thing about the menu, food or service. Was very pleased that the food is excellent and service is as well. Sorry I didn't take a photo, but I had a trio of bean Chalupa, guacamole, tostada, and queso tostada. Will definitely put this on our rotation list. read more

Location Medical district- just a couple of blocks off medical district and maple streets Atmosphere Festive Mexican, casual- great for groups Seating Bar, 2 dining areas-tables, booths-great for groups Service Outstanding! Attentive and immediate. Menu Complimentary salsa and chips-chips are delish-light and not heavily salted. Specials per day for lunch. We had the Monday special-puff taco with enchilada, beans/rice-excellent! I like a forward corn flavor with enchilada tortilla and it did not disappoint. Our group had the flautas-4 large and mini flautas-6 shorter. Everyone was happy and well satisfied. Summary Our go to restaurant for work lunches-always perfect! read more

OK - here we go...this continues to be a go-to, can't miss, old school Tex-Mex treasure in Dallas. I have about 5-6 places on my rotation...this one hits the spot every darn time. The food is tasty, well seasoned, appropriate temperature, quick to the table, etc. Oh yeah...my Tex-Mex rotation ... based on location and which one came to mind first ... Enchilada's. Casita. Ojeda's. Tupinamba. Casa Navarro. Common thread ... family owned/operated and been in Dallas slightly longer than dirt with killer recipes and friendly service. I measure a Tex-Mex restaurant on a couple of benchmark items ... parking, chips/salsa, enchiladas, chili con queso, and chili con carne/or gravy. Bonus points for "plastic" cheese (you know what I mean). For being North of the Trinity...here's my list. Yours might be different. read more

Our group of four adults and two children had a pretty disappointing experience. I ordered the crispy tacos with beef, and I have never in my life had creamy taco meat. It was mixed with something that gave it a strange, unpleasant texture and honestly, it was horrible. The rice that came with it was cold, which didn't help the overall impression. On top of the poor food quality, we were charged an extra $3.50 just for using a debit card, which felt unnecessary and excessive. Then, when we got the check, we noticed that gratuity had been automatically added. With fewer than eight people in our group, that was unexpected and, frankly, felt like poor customer service. Tips should be earned through great food and great service, not automatically assumed. Considering how disappointing the meal was, I suppose the automatic gratuity explains itself. Overall, between the cold food, the strange taco meat, the surprise fees, and the forced tip, this is not a place I'd recommend or return to. read more

Great Tex Mex food. They are very efficient and service is always great. Best location is the one on maple. DO NOT compare to other locations. The cooks here are the best! read more

This is truly one of the places I take people when they come from out of town for a True Tex-Mex experience.

The food is not good here I ate here twice food is so unflavored I don't recommend I ate two different things and the were both nasty

Have eaten here for 30+years off and on. Moved out of TX and visiting now and had a hankering for hitting Ojedas. Sadly was a bit disappointed. Just ok - puff taco meat still tasty and refried beans still delicious. Just not as good as I remember and not as good as other places. Enchilada ok - need chili con carne on cheese enchilada. read more

Ojeda's - Puff taco and cheese enchilada - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I visit Ojedas every time I visit Dallas. Their food is always delicious. This visit I got a large order of Sour Cream Chicken Nachos

Although the hostesses were kind and welcoming, our server Cynthia was very unfriendly and off-putting. I would not recommend this restaurant if every server behaves in the way that she does. read more

We are from out of town so decided to try this. It was okay. Not great, not bad, but okay. I cannot say anything bad about it but I doubt it's a place we would come back to. Just regular Tex Mex food. Very good service by the waitress. read more

Ojeda's has been in the area for a looong time. This is a staple Tex-Mex within the Dallas area, with this location being the first! The staff is super friendly and attentive. They're always walking around to make sure everyone is doing well. With a dimmed indoor dining area, the restaurant with age has only become homier. Even while busy, the restaurant has ample room and rarely any wait. This is your classic Tex-Mex with chips and salsa to start and heavy portioned entrees. As with most Tex-Mex I opt for the chimichanga, which is almost always too much and I end up taking it home. If you're looking for a good classic Tex-Mex spot with large portions at a great price, then make sure to stop by. read more

I absolutely love this place food is amazing! Service is always exceptional I've been here 3 times in 1 week and I will continue to come until they kick me out! read more

I remember I used to really like this place. It was horrible this past weekend. Bland chicken for the fajita tacos that didn't include cheese. The worst margarita I've ever had for $12. And then to top it all off an automatic 20% service charge they didn't mention before I signed the receipt and added an additional tip. AND a 3% fee for using a card! Will NOT be going back. Stay away!!! El Fenix is much much better. Or Taco Bueno. read more

My first time here. The atmosphere is great. Very lively but not too noisy. The chips are great. The salsa is too sweet and hot for me. I had the cheese poblano with rice & beans. It also had a flavorful sauce. It was hot and fresh with a great poblano flavor. Our server was friendly and helpful. read more

Last time I was here, it was 2015. Almost ten years later and it's been consistent. I ate everything up because when you live in Nashville now, the level of Tex-Mex or Mexican food in general is very much not what it is in Texas...obviously. Having a swirl, hot chips, spicy salsa and a hot plate of goodness, it really hit the spot. NOTHING has changed, and I'm OK with that because it is your hole in the wall tex-mex restaurant that stays true to what they serve. You have your regulars of locals, so the ambiance feels like you're in the right spot for what you're craving. Like I've stated before in an old review, don't expect to be blown away. But it hits the spot. I'm actually craving it again and I used to never crave coming here. Lol read more

The service was great! Very fast, friendly and attentive. Our family of 3 ordered many different dishes and all were great. I especially enjoyed the puffy taco and chicken tortilla soup. The restaurant was fun and lively and the staff never stopped hustling around constantly refilling drinks and chips. For as much food as we received the price was excellent! We would definitely recommend this place for some yummy Tex-mex! read more

The interior décor is bright and culturally inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Service is get-to-the-point and comes quickly, especially during lunchtime, which is a big plus. The complimentary chips and salsa are both enjoyable. I ordered the #8 combination special, which included one soft cheese taco and one bean chalupa with rice. The cheese on the soft taco was really good, but the bean chalupa and rice were just okay--nothing special. read more

Food quality has been consistently wonderful for as long as I've been going! My favorite is the carne asada ranchero, with the double fried beans! read more

Great traditional ambiance. Service was attentive. The complimentary chips were fresh and the house salsa on the hotter side. I heard about the puffed taco at my hotel and from the Uber driver so was anxious to try it. It was not a hand taco by design. Had to eat with a knife and fork. But it was very good. Similar to a mini taco salad in a flaky shell. The chicken sour cream enchilada was flavorful and rich. But honestly the best thing I had was the charro beans. I could have had a whole plate of these! I recommend you substitute these for regular refried beans with any dish. read more
