Texican is a small storefront w/a limited menu. On entering Kim the owner told me they are in the process of remodeling the interior. After perusing the menu I ordered the Garlic Sautéed Gulf Shrimp Tacos. This comes on 2 corn tortillas topped w/chipotle cream, red cabbage, cilantro & Onions for $9.95. The gulf shrimp were nice & plumb. All of the ingredients were fresh & made to order. Since I was the only one in there around 2pm I had a chance to chat w/Kim while eating my Shrimp Tacos. I will be back to try some of the other items on the menu

The elote was also fresh to order.

We walked in around 9 on a Saturday morning and were sat pretty quickly. Love the old skool diner vibes inside. We sat at the counter and met Cortland, this man seems like a legend. He is so helpful, friendly, and real. My husband ordered the dove's deluxe and Cortland recommended the multigrain toast over Texas toast since I already ordered the Texas toast. What an excellent rec, that multigrain is very very good, I'll most likely be getting that every time. He also explained all the sauces in the little sauce basket to us and I'm so glad he did bc every single sauce is inventive and delicious. I got the brisket hash, those crispy potatoes are somethin special. I also had the horchata cold brew, he had regular coffee, they serve awesome coffee. I will most def be back, i understand why this restaurant has been around as long as it has! If you're gonna drive, parking can be a big hairy at this 6 corners, there's random pay to park nearby.

While I am up and down on the food at Texan, I enjoy the space as a post-work happies location for…read moreme and my co-workers. We've been in twice in the last 4-5 months, and I like the indoor-outdoor space on nicer days. The value proposition on this menu is terrible unless you come in for happy hour (4-6 PM), and even then, the appetizers are so tiny that they end up being food for one, not many. The margs aren't bad and the "pizzadillas" are the go-to for the group because that ends up being a decent deal when looking to entertain the group. I don't have any service issues, and Texan's location is perfect for "let's start here then go down the street." And, at 4:30 or 5 PM, we haven't had an issue getting space for 10-12 very last minute, although I'm sure that will change over the summer. Average stuff, elevated by a big space. I would skip this place for date night, but with a crowd, worth a look!

This place has some potential, but it seems like maintenance and overall management/ownership could…read moreuse more attention. I visited recently on a rainy day and noticed water leaking inside the building and by leaking I mean it was literally raining inside. Unfortunately, I remember seeing the same issue last summer, which is a bit concerning from a safety and upkeep standpoint there's literally wires and heaters the water is pouring out next to. The music was also extremely loud, making it difficult to have a conversation, and the sound quality from the speakers was not very clear felt like listening to nails on a chalkboard. On a positive note, the service was excellent. The drink selection is somewhat mediocre, but the draft margaritas are very good. The food menu is weird, those looking for more traditional tacos may not find them here. I think simple would get them a lot further.

Service, Food & Ambiance:…read more I tend to only contact a restaurant when I have had a poor experience - and want to warn others on Yelp. Our 7:00PM reservation was NOT honored We were told to stand in the back for 23 minutes I overheard the front host tell a waitress that - He bumped us for a party of eight - They never arrived so he sat us after 23 minutes Your host never apologized By the time our food order arrived, a full hour had already passed from our original reservation time. My Carne Asada Taco Platter was tasteless - The Carne was overcooked and bone dry - There were no limes or sauces provided - The side dish of Mexican Rice was cold - The side of Refried Beans was over-salted - It took a lemonade and four full glasses of water to wash down this dry, salty food - My final bite of rice had two long blonde hairs - Our waitress had long blonde hair - No one in our party is blonde My daughter asked for a box to take leftovers The waitress reached over my food and the full length of our table to hand her this box She bent her body fully across me to do this Her armpit was right in my face Three drunken patrons at the bar were screaming Our waitress yelled back our order to be heard She yelled it out only inches from my left ear My left ear began ringing at her volume When we paid, it took 18 minutes for the waitress to process our credit card Five waitstaff were outside chatting during all this. The male host who had made us wait for our table played games on his cell phone for the 90 minutes we were in Cafe El Tapatio. You really can not make all this up. How could all this occur during a single visit? Answer: Poor Management and Training.

For food, my husband ordered the chilaquiles and they were AMAZING. Would order that again in a heartbeat. I ordered the chicken and churros. They were ok. It comes with a ridiculous amount on butter (you can see in the pic). I scooped it out and no lie it was like a cup of butter. Besides that, it was good. Probably would not order again. For drinks I ordered the lavender margarita and the wild berry pomegranate margarita. Both good, lavender was my fave!

As soon as we thought we wanted something else, she was there. That is the signature of a great server. They have a nice menu with a good variety of items. We started with their chips and dip trio - guac, queso, and salsa. The chips were homemade and very good. All of the dips were great. That was the highlight of our meal. We all had different types of tacos, so I can only really talk about mine. I had the taco dinner - three tacos - Asada, Carnitas, and Al Pastor. Everyone seems to rave about the tacos. I thought they were good, although I'm not sure, for the price, it was much better than any other Mexican restaurant. The steak, which had an extra cost, was just okay. The carnitas were good, and the Al Pastor was good, but not outstanding. The rice and beans were really outstanding and also a highlight of the meal. But, if fairness, good is still good. I plan to give this another try. I suspect if I order something different, given how good the service was, I'll be more pleased with the experience.

We started with the pork tamales which were pretty good, but I would've preferred a little more sauce. The enchiladas were really good, but the chipotle sauce was a little too spicy for me.

The rice and beans that both dishes came with were also excellent.

Delicious food, friendly waiter, militant hostess…read more We came to dinner before a standup performance downtown (Mateo Lane was hilarious, by the way). I arrived at the restaurant on time (4:30) and checked in with the hostess, who said I could only be seated when the entire group of three arrived. This seemed weird given the restaurant was pretty empty at this time, and ordinarily I'd order a drink while waiting at the table. Regardless, I went to Starbucks instead because I knew the other two were a few minutes behind. When I got back to the restaurant, my friend said the hostess told him we absolutely had to leave within 1.5 hours because we were late... which seemed odd because he may have checked in 15 minutes after our reservation, to an empty restaurant, that already refused to seat me on time. Regardless, the food was delicious. I had the Pollo in ChiChilo-- the mole was delicious, and I loved the chicken and sweet potato. I ordered the mole on the side, which seemed like a nice balance. Since the hostess wouldn't previously seat me, I had a lovely iced matcha latte with oat milk and half a pump of vanilla from Starbucks, which was a nice pairing. The waiter did ask if I wanted a shot of something with it, which seemed odd. Ambiance was cute, probably due for a renovation but seemed appropriate for most dining out occasions- dates, families, a day out in town. Note: the restaurant charges an automatic 20% gratuity which may explain the service. Keep this in mind to avoid tipping more than you intend. Overall, I would definitely come back, and the food and wait staff made up for the abrasive welcome.

Warm, homemade tortillas added to the perfect bite on top of flavor town green tomatillo salsa. The black beans was a good balance the rich pork flavors. Also, if the standard salsa was room tamed for.your liking; they have a good habanero salsa for the asking. Maybe too much foe most. Dessert- ice cream with fudge.. Great tasting of vanilla and chocolate, but wasnt quite over the top. The ice cream was nice and thick, but was a bit gritty for ice cream at an upscale place. Partly why I couldnt give it a perfect score. Service - attentive and intuitive. The waiter seems to know what we like and need without asking too much. Spicy pineapple Cocktail- good, strong, but not great. Couldn't really taste any pineapple. Cleanliness- clean and organized. Cost - affordable for special occasion. Restroom - fancy and clean. Ambiance - warm and relaxing, but a bit cheap with the vinyl or cheap wood veneer tables.
