    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.

    6 Mini Tacos. Hand and chip for scale

    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.

    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.

    Queso
    Kyerra B.

    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!

    6 Mini Tacos
    Jamieleigh W.

    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.

    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.

    Ceviche
    Stacy C.

    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

    Craving Tex-Mex after spending a day of shopping in the Bishop Arts District?? Step into Tejas Tex-Mex for mouthwatering tex-mex entrees and great beverages. The inside of Tejas has a beautiful aesthetic with pretty decor and plants. Tejas also has a relaxing and pretty patio with murals on the side of the building to look at. I ordered the vibrant and fresh taco salad along with a side of delicious elote off the cob. My friend ordered the sizzling fajitas and really enjoyed them! We sat on the patio while enjoying our meal. Tejas has a wonderful happy hour menu with good cocktails. Make sure to add Tejas to your Dallas food list!

    Came in on a Saturday with a friend and it was quite busy! Ended up sharing an appetizer but came for the drinks! Customer service was fast and it was very lively. Great location near all the stores and bars. Want to come back and try some entrees!

    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.

    Potato & Bacon Taco
    Tonya R.

    What's fun and trendy place with really good food and on-point service. I had the brisket breakfast taco (a good value for $6) and my husband had the brisket enchiladas and a potato, bacon and egg breakfast taco. All of the food was well executed and full of taste without being heavy.

    6 Mini Tacos
    Yolanda H.

    Cool spot to dip into for bites and bevs. The house chips and salsa was interesting. The chips come with a chipotle/southwest spice on them. Not bad, just different. I ordered the mini tacos. The beef tacos were flavorful and packed a punch.

    Lavender mojito
    Felicia P.

    Only came for drinks and I was very disappointed in the flavor. 2 of us got lavender mojitos-- this tasted nothing like a mojito and not even a hint of lavender. The only nice thing was that they had pouches to take your drink to go. Would not come back for drinks however.

    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 service here was great on my visit. The atmosphere, albeit a little crowded, was comfy. As I do with my first visit at any Tex-Mex joint, I order the combo plate. I was very pleased with it here. The taco was crunchy with nicely seasoned (non-greasy) ground beef and lettuce and cheese served on the side (I told them no tomatoes). The tamale had a wonderful brisket-like filling, although there was a little too much masa for me. The cheese enchilada was filled with actual cheese, which is a good (if not rare) thing these days. The chili con carne topping was wonderful, as was the rice -- which is among the most perfectly cooked that I have ever experienced in a Tex-Mex joint. The refried beans were run-of-the mill. I must say that the enchilada tortillas are firmer than most. Not necessarily bad, but they definitely don't par-fry these things before rolling. I tend to judge Tex-Mex joints by their salsa. If it's served warm, I take points off the board. This stuff is served ice-cold and has a wonderful bite. Bottom line: If I lived here, I'd be a regular. Excellent Tex-Mex.
