If you want fresh, Tex Mex food that is good, come here! We were out strolling Bishop Arts district and came across Tejas. We ordered guacamole, ceviche, and chipotle chicken taco. Everything was so damn good! The guac was guac'ing! Chunks of avocado in the guac (how I like it!). The white fish and shrimp in the ceviche was so fresh and well seasoned. The taco was equally delicious I ordered a skinny cucumber margarita. It was just ok. I like my drinks strong (I like to taste my 'likkuh') and this wasn't strong at all, but it was quite refreshing. The complimentary chips and salsa is bomb!!! "Fresh" is the theme of my review lol. You can tell the salsa is freshly made and not straight out of a can or jar. It had a nice spicy kick. read more

Great location. Attentive service. Excellent Tex-Mex. Tejas is located near the heart of Bishop Arts, offering outdoor patio seating, bar seating, and a comfortable dining room. There's free parking across the street, but it often fills quickly during busy hours--which in Bishop Arts is most of the time. The décor is a fun mix of "Tex" and "Mex." The menu features tacos, enchiladas, soups, salads, and fajitas. They don't offer combo plates, so I ordered the tacos pastor along with a side of crispy beef tacos. Both were excellent and served promptly. Bonus: the draft beer was ice-cold. The wait staff checked in often, making my Friday late lunch a relaxing break. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Will is an amazing bartender. So welcoming and informative. This time we didn't eat because we were just here enjoying the beach shack atmosphere. But I've had their carne asada fries (no pic sorry) & ceviche and they were delicious. Fun trendy casual place..: will be back for dinner soon as well as when they have their Tipsy Christmas theme out here at the shack! A must visit and make sure to request WILL.

I visited this restaurant in the Bishop Arts District that sets up a weekend vintage clothing festival right out front on the corner. Inside, the food felt authentic and tasty with solid tacos, savory salsas and dishes. I appreciated the reasonable prices and the festive atmosphere made for a memorable meal. Service was friendly and attentive even when things got a bit busy with festival crowds. Overall the vibe is fun and you get to shop local vintage and enjoy flavorful Mexican food all in one area. I'd go back. read more

We tried the 6 mini chicken tacos, and they were good! They came with three different sauces, and the queso was definitely my favorite, rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The complimentary salsa and other sauces were also solid and added a nice variety to the meal. Tejas has a more upscale vibe compared to your average Mexican spot. The decor is stylish and modern, and the atmosphere is elevated without feeling stuffy. The music added to the overall experience, great playlist that matched the energy of the place. Service was quick around 3 PM. read more

We dropped into this place after a birthday outing. It was so colorful and loud (in a good way), the servers were attentive and matched our humor and energy. We were already impressed with the service and drinks but when the food arrived we were officially fans. The flavors and creativity of the dishes left our table silent for the first time all night. Forks on plates and the occasional, "THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD" filled the air. read more

My partner and I ventured to Bishop arts to switch up our date night and stopped by Tejas for a snack. I wish I remember our waiters name because he was phenomenal!we ordered the queso blanco & it was delicious! We also ordered a taco each. I ordered their chicken taco & he ordered a brisket one and to be honest I make better tacos than what I was served there. I did however order a margarita and it was amazing! So, my recommendation is that you get something aside from the chicken taco & you'll be good to go! read more

This place is great! We sat outside and I had the mini tacos - so fun! I love their tall glasses and their mocktails were delicious. It's a great area and fun to watch the stuff going on on the streets - however, the place next door has the loudest music ever and then this place plays music too and there's just a ton of noise around here that makes it a little hard to keep a conversation going. Everyone loved their food here though and the queso is especially great. read more

Stopped for a late night bite. Enjoyed a few different types of tacos at this comfortable attractive Mexican food restaurant. I ordered a single Vegetarian Taco, mild but tasty. The rest of the party ordered a 12 taco bite size plate. They enjoyed the little mini tacos. The other tacos were flavorful as well. We had 6 people at our table and everyone was satisfied with their order. The drinks were fun and yummy. Decor was pleasant and comfortable and the service was friendly and prompt. read more

What a surprisingly good spot for food and drinks! We accidentally made a reservation for 8pm and arrived a few hours early, but thank goodness it was not a challenge for them as they were able to slot us right in to a nice table out on the patio. We ordered the ceviche, a taco salad, and a few rounds of drinks, which were really good. We'll definitely be back read more

Went on a whim Valentines night 55 mins before closing. They were so nice! From the hostess to our waiter. I had the veggie Taco and Tropical Sunrise mocktail. Delicious! My cousin had the chicken fajitas, they were good as well as the veggies also. I will say the sides were not that great. The charro beans were soupy and bland. Good service, very cute inside! Affordable! I will try it again for brunch maybe. read more

I came to Tejas at the insistence of my brother and his girlfriend, who live in the building directly above it. By brother, a Yelp Elite member himself, confirmed to me that "this is a solid four star establishment, but I think you'll like it." The pretentiousness of that statement aside, I mentally prepared myself for a solid four star experience. Upon entrance we were greeted with a free appetizer (complimentary of living in the building next door) and a server who was quick, charismatic, and highly attentive. So far not 4 star, but there was still room for them to fall. The food came out quickly (another 5 star indicator) and, upon tasting it, was great. More five stars. My brother, increasingly anxious at the exceptional culinary experience unfolding in front of him, began to mumble about a "wholly changed experience" and "the possibility of new management." Afterwards the check arrived quickly, and our party shuffled out full of good Mexican food and a healthy amount of shame. read more

Tejas is a reliable spot in Bishop Arts. The margaritas are some of the freshest tasting in Dallas. They are a nice clear color in contrast to a lot of the greenish ones at other places. The food is always tasty as well! You can't go wrong with any of the options. The bar was taking much longer than usual, and my drink did not come to the table until our food did. The server was apologetic but nothing was comped. The ambiance is very colorful and fun! They also have a decent size outdoor dining space. read more

So I wanna start out this review saying that I have to go back and get the full experience. So, my review is only based on my first time visiting. I came by Tejas after I had already had lunch, to get a dessert and get a spicy margarita that I got for a dollar and one cent because I have a Margarita passport. When we got there, we were seated immediately, and our waitress came by and gave us chips and salsa and water and gave us menus. I ordered my margarita and my friend also got the tres leche cake, which I was really excited about because it is one of my favorite cakes. We snacked on chips and salsa while we waited, and you could tell that the chips were fresh and tasty. The drinks and cake came out quickly, and when I took the first sip of my margarita, I was super impressed. It had a nice level of spicy, but it still had a really good flavor. I also took a bite of the tres leche cake and was super excited because of how much milk was on the plate. But then I was disappointed because it tasted like they had literally just poured the milk and put the cake on top. The cake was dry and was not airy at all. Not what a traditional cake should taste like. The drink I would rated a 7 out of 5, the cake I would have rated a one and a 1/2 out of 5, which is why I gave them 4 stars. I do want to come back and try the food, though. My friend has been here before and said it was excellent. So I look forward to my next visit. And I'll just get a different dessert. read more

Happy Wednesday!! We came in for lunch on a Wednesday. Parking was easy in a larger parking lot across the way and the decor inside was nice. For our appetizer we ordered loaded queso and it WAS loaded! They served it with tortillas on the side to make little tacos out of it. We enjoyed. It was flavorful and rich. In hindsight, would've shared that with 4 people instead of 2 because it was filling. I ordered a frozen mango margarita that took so long to come out. But when it did it was definitely a cold strong drink. For our entrees we ordered birria taco, chipotle chicken taco and one brisket breakfast taco. Also ordered the brisket enchiladas. Food was fantastic and flavorful! Hefty portions so less would've been better or save one for later. My husband's taco was a bit soaked with juices to the point it was dripping. Not my style but he was okay with it. This was a restaurant on my list to visit in Bishop Arts and it was decent. Cons: Our service (even upon entering) was slow. Our server didn't know the menu well because she was newer. We'd likely return for drinks and the loaded queso in the future! read more

This review is all about the hostess service -- or lack thereof. Over the years, we've had more than our fair share of hiccups with reservations at Tejas, but last Saturday took the cake. Around 2:30 pm, we joined a short waitlist for an outdoor table, providing my number to receive a text when our table was ready. While waiting, we wandered through the shops around Bishop Arts, keeping an eye out for the message. When the text finally arrived, we headed straight back, only to be told that the "8-minute grace period" had passed and our table was gone. Their solution? Join the waitlist... again. Now, here's the kicker -- there were clearly open tables both inside and outside. So, naturally, we opted to take our appetite elsewhere. The real issue wasn't the waitlist, the text alert system, or even the 8-minute policy. It was the attitude of the hostess on duty. Her indifference was palpable -- unbothered, unhelpful, and uninterested in doing anything but sticking to the script. This wasn't a one-off experience either; it's a pattern we've noticed time and again at Tejas. For us, long-time neighborhood locals, this was the last straw. Next time, we'll head to Veracruz Cafe or any of the many other Bishop Arts spots where neighborly charm isn't just a tagline -- it's a way of doing business. read more

Stumbled upon this spot as I was wandering around Bishop Arts on a pretty day. As soon as I walked in and saw the cute, Instagrammable decor, I knew I was in for a treat...or at least good pics. I happened to stop by during their weekend Happy Hour--a selection of discounted drinks and bites. On Sat. and Sun. it's from 3-5 PM. I chose two of their breakfast tacos, and my fave was the Potato, Bacon, Egg, and Cheese one. Both were topped with pico de gallo. This was served with rice and beans. I almost wanted to order another serving of sides, and another taco but I controlled myself. Oh, and the music was great too! All in all, a solid choice if you're wandering around B.A.D. read more

It was a rainy Friday night and we walk in without reservations and we were instantly seated! The interior does take me too a texmex world. The chips and salsa are always a hit! We love them everyone we come here! I got the same dish i got last time, but something about this dish wasn't as amazing as last time. I think the brand and rice were a bit bland/flavorless. The rice was just white rice, kind of disappointing. The tacos were great though. I think another thing i noticed were the portion sizes were a bit in the smaller side. I guess not everything is bigger in Tejas. Anyways, The chips and salsa are where it's at. We live close to Bishop Arts, so i think we will be back again! read more

My friend and I were exploring different parts of Dallas and we landed here at Tejas for lunch. It was a Saturday so there was a 45 minute wait. However we were never called, we had to go back up there to the podium because I believe that the hostess forgot about us because she couldn't find our name. It's okay, it's a Saturday and it was busy. We finally sat down and our waitress was so sweet giving us recommendations. We both got tacos (can't remember the names) but it was super good. We also had a hibiscus drink to wash everything down. Our food service was fast and efficient. We also grabbed a flan and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't too hard in texture. read more

The ambiance coming in is quite hip and relaxing. Appreciated the complimentary salsa and chips for our incredibly long wait for service. It was a busy weekend, which I don't count against the restaurant. Service was fine besides the long wait. The food was just okay, so didn't feel the wait was worth the experience personally. The mini tacos looked so cute, we couldn't resist ordering it. Surprisingly the chicken was much better than the beef. Not sure what the menu means when it says the original skinny fajita, but it's a fine option if you have diet restrictions and are prioritizing a clean diet over flavor. read more

After a terrible experience at another restaurant down the way, we found ourselves here for lunch. The food was good but I am shocked at the prices for the portions of food. The queso was decent but had more of a heavy cream flavor rather than cheese. The chicken fajitas were so small. The chicken was like a quarter of a chicken breast. We asked for extra onions and did not receive them. The rice was basically flavorless. However, the homemade corn tortillas were delicious. Margaritas ($15 each... again.... Why?) The service was great and everyone was so friendly. It wasn't too loud or crowded even though they were pretty busy. I absolutely would come back to try something else. read more

I've had this on my Yelp list for a while, and finally got the chance to stop by with the fam! It was a Thursday night, around 9 PM and all the local restaurants were already shut down. We had gone to Texas theater earlier to see the private viewing of a film my daughter is in. We were also celebrating my dad's 78th birthday. The parking was super convenient with meters around the restaurant, but they were full and there was a free parking lot across the street with plenty of parking. We approached through the back of the restaurant, because I wanted to see the shopping area which was beautifully lit, and with cute tile on the steps. We walked by all the cute outdoor seating with little fans on the table that helped drive away flies. The front entrance was well lit, and the hostess was friendly and actually happy to be there, a true rarity for most restaurants. We sat at a large U shaped booth that was beautifully decorated. I just had to take pics! The QR code for the menu was on the table, and we were able to easily pull it up and navigate the one page to pick out drinks, appetizer, and food. I ordered a michelazo and queso for the appetizer. The queso came in a large bowl with chips, and was plenty for the four of us. It was thick, creamy, and flavorful. It tasted like real queso, not something out of a tin can. The chips were crispy and had a light seasoning to them. They were sick enough to hold the queso, but still thin enough to easily bite into. The queso was delicious! The Michelle Lasso comes with a beer of your choice, and I always get Negra Modelo with Michelada. The spicy tomato mix was perfect with the tajín rim and flavor of the Modelo. I ordered the steak fajitas to share with my teen daughter, my mom got the Tejas taco plate, and my dad got the carnitas plate of tacos. Our fajitas came out, sizzling with grilled onions, rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and flour tortillas. Also ordered a side of jalapeños ($2). The meat was tender and came apart easily, the grilled onions were perfectly cooked and the charro beans or topped with green onions and cheese. The beans tasted good, but the rice lacked any flavor. As my daughter put it, it tasted like cardboard. The rice was disappointing, it was too bland. The flour tortillas were soft, small, and fresh tasting homemade. Both Taco plates for my parents had an abundance of meat in each taco on corn tortillas. They were both impressed at how generous they were with the meat. We all got full on our plates and I even had leftovers after my daughter and I each had two tacos each. The server was helpful, friendly, and readily available. I think there was only one instance where we couldn't find him for a short period of time. He was very accommodating. When I got the check, I saw that I was able to pay via an app I've used before another restaurant and quickly scanned my receipt then used Apple Pay $108. That was so convenient! Every restaurant should have this option! Overall, it was a great experience with good food. I would recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood or would like to take some great media content. The music is festive without being too loud, it's just a fun relaxed ambiance. I'm sure this would make a good brunch spot our girls night out. read more
