Affordable and tasty. I was looking for the Mexican breakfast restaurant Friday morning and I was around Medical city. There were a couple of other restaurants, but I decided to visit here because of the good review. The restaurant itself was small and all tables/chairs were not available because of the Covid 19. On the front door, I found the notification "no mask, no service" and I like that since there are so many restaurants who don't care about the safety protocol. Inside the restaurant, as you see on the menu, they have many options about burritos and tacos, also others. I chose a burrito and 3 tacos, all of them are tasty. The reason of the stars is 1). I wanted less oily in the burrito , they have eggs and chorrizo (I picked), but egg was somehow a bit oily. 2). The shell (flower) of tacos were dried up and got hardened. But it was not too bad to rate it as less than 4 stars. And price was $9 for above. Worth a try, what do you think ?

Giving the bbq a try
Marc R.

Summary: Hole-in-the-wall with decent and inexpensive street taco's and sub-par straight BBQ. Observations: Brisket: Co-workers and I all found it to be on the dry side and the bark barely had any flavor. Ribs: Noticeably better, at least the thicker parts were (thin parts were like jerky) Quesadilla: quite large had a surprising amount of cheese compared to the finely chopped chicken Sides: Green bean side had small bits of ham in it, and the charro beans had small winnie sausages in it.

To-go chicken stuffed baked potato.
Danielle A.

We were craving stuffed baked potatoes for dinner, and got on Yelp to find if there were any options besides a chain restaurant potato like Dickey's. I saw the brisket potato on this page and immediately knew this was the place to be -- except I don't ear beef. According to the photos on here, the only meat option for the potato is brisket. I thought about heading to the more boring option, but decided to check to see if they'd accommodate me. They were nothing but nice about it, and advised they could also do sausage or chicken. I went with chicken and we took our potatoes to go. They were massive and delicious. Butter pooled up in the bottom of the take out container, but the potato was still firm and fresh. They pack the bbq sauce in containers and then in shrink wrap to minimize spillage which I thought was GENIUS. The food is inexpensive and tastes awesome. I am excited to go back and eat a meal inside. Definitely check this place out.

Chicken quesadillas
Gabriel W.

Came in here for a quick lunch with a friend who has been here before. They have really affordable and reasonably priced meals and their taste is nothing short of amazing. It's an authentic Mexican cuisine place that specializes in tacos and quesadillas. I tried their chicken quesadillas and they taste so cheesy and good. They give you the option for red and green salsa with your meal and I tried their red salsa which was perfect because it is just slightly spicy. I'll make sure to come back again and try other menu items as well as their green salsa. 10/10

Thicccc shredded beef burrito, two tacos.
John M.

I love Mexican food and BBQ, and this hole in the wall was definitely a mix of both! The tacos could use some work though. A little dry and not that fresh. Wouldn't recommend coming here purely for tacos. The burrito and quesadilla portions were HUGE! I've never had a place give you the whole quesadilla, only half. And the burrito was stuffed! Definitely worth the money, very tasteful, and very filling! There's so much more I want to try like the loaded shredded beef baked potato so I'll definitely be coming back again. Not to mention it's very close to UT Dallas so it attracts hungry college students on a budget. Cheap. Flavorful. Filling.

First time here, I got the brisket stuffed potato and one brisket taco. Small restaurant with uncomfortably chilly AC. Friendly and knowledgeable cashier. Potato: humongous with lots of meat. BUT the meat isn't seasoned and not the most tender. It's a good, filling meal for $7 but be ready to doctor it up with salt, pepper, and bbq sauce. Taco: meat also not seasoned. It needs lots of green sauce. I will come back to try more items. It's good/not the best but I want to try some other meats and sides before deciding if this place will go in my BBQ rotation.

Massive steak quesadilla with tasty pico and sour cream

Ok how have I gone to UTD for five years and NEVER heard of this place??? It is a college kid's dream! Authentic tacos AND barbecue??? My boyfriend and I went after finding this place on Yelp and we're officially obsessed with it. It's a small hole in the wall place, but the staff was kind and everything looked clean. When I asked for a cup for water (trying to save money), the employee just offered me a free water bottle instead, saying that "the tap water here isn't that good." I really appreciated his generosity! I ordered the steak quesadilla and WOAH BABY! It was huge! There was tons of perfectly grilled steak and melty cheese filling up the massive quesadilla. I could only eat half and had enough for a second meal. All for under $7! My boyfriend got the brisket baked potato with BBQ sauce on the side and might have actually fallen in love with it. The brisket was tasty, tender, and piled high on a wonderful baked potato with cheese and butter. We were both really impressed with Tejano BBQ's generosity with the brisket, they weren't stingy at all. Once again, his whole meal was under $7 We'll definitely be back!

menudo on saturdays!

Hands down my favorite place for tacos in Dallas. Actually It's THE place I compare everything to, from meat to salsas, whether it's from Dallas or out of town. The barbacoa meat is not the usual stringy shredded beef , but it is this special meat they have that is pulled out by the slab and chopped up to order. It is incredibly moist and tasty, but very very rarely is it a tad too fatty. The habanero hot sauce is amazing. Decent flavor, but the heat is perfect. I actually like to mix the tomatillo and habanero together for a nice balance of flavor and heat. I haven't had too much of the BBQ YET, but I have ordered the BBQ potato and it is huge. Top it with your choice of meat and fixings. I opt to have no BBQ sauce and just drown it in salsa instead. Delicious and super filling.

Burrito!

A staple of Uptown, Las Palmas is often referred to as the best Tex-Mex in Dallas. While I may be…read morebiased as it's my local spot, I do think Las Palmas is excellent. The location is super cute and always packed. You definitely need a reservation or have to go super early to get a spot. There is valet parking as well as street parking, which can get a bit crowded. I've had a ton of different food items the years, but their fajitas are their signature dish for a reason! It comes out sizzling, fresh, and delicious. Do not pass up on the bone marrow sauce, it transforms the dish to beyond a 10/10! The salsas are always good and then tortilla chips salty and fresh. I start with a skinny margarita w a salt rim, which was good. Our waiter, Abraham, was great! He was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We also order the ceviche to start, which was yummy! The crackers were a bit of an odd pairing for me and I stuck with tortilla chips, but overall delicious!! My friend ordered the steak quesadilla and thought it was tasty too.

I wished it came with more than 3 tortillas or at least 4 since I don't put too much meat in my fajitas. I also tried the hickory grilled ribs. It was kinda salty, but the barbecue sauce was ok. The meat was very tender & falls off the bone. The fries that it comes with were alright. There was a little of wait, but I didn't mind since the food was good. Our food did take a while. Our waitress was very attentive & filled our water. There was seating inside & outside on the patio. I was glad that we were sat outside since it was a beautiful day today. Besides inside was kinda dark. Overall, the food is a little pricey, but totally worth it. A must are their fajitas.

The short of it--food was fine, but certainly felt overpriced for what we ate…read more Long of it--Sat outside and it was nice. Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
