We went in with a prepaid Groupon and were told that because they "are having difficulties" with Groupon they are not able to honor the Groupon, despite the expiration date of February. After some friendly questioning on our part, they agreed to honor the Groupon. Everything continued downhill from there. Service was inattentive at best. Food was awesome, really, and had it not been for the rude service we would be back. I truly felt that we received bad service because we came in with a Groupon. It was clear that we were considered "cheap" or "not a good table" because of our use of the Groupon. We were prepared to leave a $20+ tip on our $30 Groupon, because we got a good deal and wanted the server to benefit. However, we left $5 because we were treated so poorly. After queso and chips were gone, the server took an extended amount of time to come take our order, though we were the only table in the restaurant. When we had finished dining we sat for 30+ minutes and had to get up from the table to ask if we were okay to go. Another 5 minutes later our server returned to let us know that "our food had been taken care of" and that we were good to go... which is a strange way to acknowledge that they had accepted our already paid for Groupon to pay for our meal. read more

Love this place. BUT devastated that they removed the queso flamado from their menu. Not many places in Dallas still do quesadilla flamado and this was one of the last places. read more

Tejas did some major changes during Covid. It is a sit down restaurant rather than ordering at the counter and someone brings your food. The interior is now dark and more date night vibes. They also take reservations now. The menu has been extended and edited (the no longer have burgers and curly fries ) But they do have complimentary chips and salsa now! They are better than the tri-colored chips they had before. The tortillas for the tacos don't taste homemade anymore, I'm pretty sure they're store bought package tortillas. They give you rice and beans and offer other sides for their dishes! If you went before the big remodeling definitely give it a try to see who you like it. You're either going to live it or wish it was the old Tejas. read more

Tejas - Shrimp tacos Conchita Pibil Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is a great a place! Great vibe, nice people and fantastic drinks. It is a tad pricey but you get what you pay for. Only bad thing is the place gets full on the weekends, resulting in long waits but I highly recommend! read more

I really hate to have to write this because 1. I am not a person who writes reviews and 2. I have been to Tejas numerous times and have had a great time. However, yesterday was an awful experience. I placed a reservation in through Resy on Monday, the reservation only allowed me to place 6 people, so in the notes I added that I actually needed the reservation to be for 8 people. I figured I would call on Wednesday, when the restaurant reopened for the week to confirm my message was received. Didnt have to, I received a message via Resy that my reservation was confirmed for 8. When my party started to arrive they hostess stated "oh yes the reservation for 8" however where we were being sat was not a large enough table for 8 people. I tried to speak to the hostess about a better table option and she would not change our seats. Manager came over and acknowledge that they should not have allowed me a reservation for 8 people and that they had made a mistake, but still no larger table. She gave me the option of seating outside, in 100 degree weather, but that was it. There was no apology, there was no "let me see what we can do" and move some tables around (like many other managers at other restaurants do) there was no service recovery efforts what so ever. Manager and hostess staff lacked hospitality skills and taking accountability for the mistake that had taken place. As my full party arrived we decided to stay and sit outside. We had a party of 8 and there was no way we would be seated at another Bishop Arts restaurant without a reservation. So we tried to make the best of it. Not once did the manager come out and check on us. Waitress was pleasant but was definitely over sat. We had to go find her numerous times inside to come outside and get something we needed. Food and drinks were good, as expected. However when the checks came, gratuity was already added (expected), but what was definitely the icing on the cake was the 20% for gratuity. I completely understand the policy of adding gratuity to a large party's check, but 20%? It definitely felt like a slap in my face after the whole reservation mistake. I dont know who owns this place but you definitely need to take a look at your staffing model. Your manager lacks hospitality skills, you have 4 hostess at a time for the size of the restaurant, who presented no skills on how to manage table seating arrangements, service recovery and on the spot problem resolution (all key skills to the service industry). And lastly your wait staff per shift is not enough. It was apparent yesterday that the waitress we had, did not have a section, but was waiting tables all over the restaurant. Overall a very poor experience to what was supposed to be a celebration among friends. read more

The burgers at Tejas are so good and tasty, and they are not oversized or greasy. I live the fresh topping and the tender beef. The seasoned fries pair well with the burgers, and the spicy ketchup is perfect. I've also had the breakfast tacos and the Chorizo taco is by far my favorite, with the spicy sausage offset by the sweet grilled onions. And the horchata + coffee drink (the name escapes me now) is so tasty. It was actually the first thing I ever tried from there and it's what has kept me going back! read more

Heard about this place and aims of the newer places on Bishop. Wife and I came here during a Saturday morning. Tried all three breakfast tacos and the brisket taco. All four were great options. No skimping on the main ingredients and the garnishments were perfect. They have homemade salsa options that were excellent. Lunch and dinner tacos look tasty, the wife and I will definitely be back. Service was good, plenty of tables and space, and the coffee was exceptional. read more

Went last Friday and loved everything about this place. The vibe/look was cozy and inviting. Which always makes or breaks a spot. And then the food was incredible. I will definitely return next time I am in town! read more

Food was delicious for take out. But kinda bull crap on the queso they didn't even fill it halfway. read more

Tejas - 6$ worth of Large Queso Dip. Bull - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Best happy hour in Bishop Arts! Their frozen margaritas are amazing (and strong)! Also, their food is consistently good. Never disappoints!

It's my third time coming, today we were the only ones here. It was awkwardly silent, someone forgot to turn on the music. We order our tacos and start to make a cup of coffee. This is where is went south. The creamer was spoiled and coagulated. I figure it's just one of the creamers (which weren't on ice), so I pour it out and make a second cup but nope all the creamers are spoiled. I ask the sweet little hostess if there are fresh refrigerated creamers in the back she said no, she could give me horchata if I wanted. Nooooo. I was truly bummed out NOT TO HAVE COFFEE WITH MY BREAKFAST TACOS. So I crossed the street and bought coffee at Tribal All Day Cafe. read more

The worst customer service I ever experienced. I had a Groupon that the manager said they no longer honored. I explained to him that I had bought the Groupon a couple months ago and that it hasn't expired yet. I also pulled up the reviews from Groupon to show that other customers have been able to use the Groupon. He refused and told me that the Groupon is worth $100 at the restaurant which is more than what I paid. So I pulled up the menu with him and calculated everything. Two margs ($12 each), guacamole ($10), six tacos ($6 each). That totals $70...far below his $100 statement. He then changed his story and told me that I was wrong and that the Groupon is for six tacos a person which would put the value over $100. Who eats six tacos in one setting?! Caught in his web of fallacies, he told me that I need to contact Groupon and he would not honor it. I walked out and took my appetite down the street. read more

See all

We have been watching them build the building and are excited there is a Tej/mex taco shop. The queso was great and the brisket taco and veggie taco were delicious. They brought 4 different salsas in squirt bottles to use, all were very tasty. Watch out- the yellow one is super hot- that is a good thing. All 4 sauces were different and delicious. We also enjoy a horchata/cold brew drink- excellent. Horchata is rice and almonds (soaked over night and blended then strained) drink that has cinnamon in it and sprinkled on top. A perfect pairing with cold brew coffee. You should try this place as it is a nice place to eat and the staff are very friendly. read more

Everything on their menu tastes great and the prices are very reasonable! Their Horchata is also great. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! read more

I always have a great time when I visit Tejas. All the wait staff seem to be committed to making sure the dining experience is one of the best not only in the Bishop Arts District, but the entire city of Dallas. The atmosphere is awesome, and I also like how modern and trendy the decor is. Most importantly, the food and drinks are so delicious. I would have to say that Tejas serves the best Paloma I have ever had. I can't wait to go back! read more

Omg!!! This place was so good! If only I was a cow with four stomachs to continue eating. Ugh imma have to come back to try other things. Guac was stupid good. Definitely a try! read more

I don't get the hype. I was super excited to try this place, but my food was pretty inedible. I have only had about three instances in my life where the food I ordered was so gross that I couldn't finish it. I ordered 2 tacos. One was complete mush and tasted like baby food in a taco. I could only tolerate about two bites. The next one was the al pastor which was coated in a thick mole-like sauce. Not traditional al pastor, but that would've been OK if the sauce had been good, but it was flavorless. The queso, which I've also heard a lot of great things about, was super runny and tasted like Tostitos queso with water added. Overall, this was a pricey meal that left me very hungry. read more

First time visiting Tejas with a group of out of town friends. We didn't have a reservation but the hostess made us feel welcomed and quoted us a longer wait time but was able to sit us earlier. The food was great. I recommend the cauliflower option. The drinks were bomb and the staff made us feel seen. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful restaurant. read more

Great food and great service! Our server Jasmine was super nice and very attentive! We will definitely be back!

We have been there for the best Tacos in town! We have enjoyed our time here and we have had a great experience.

I just had to leave a review about this place. I usually never leave a review but after spending the afternoon with Jasmine our server, I felt a review was necessary. Jasmine made our experience so pleasurable and delightful. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and was so patience with my wife who is very picky with her food at times. At the end, we enjoyed the recommended French Toast. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a delightful and friendly restaurant in the Bishop Arts area and please ask for Jasmine. read more

Our server, John, made our first experience at Tejas the best time EVER. He was quick getting our food and drinks to us. My friends and I will definitely be asking for him from now on. ALSO, the manager Jennifer made sure we were well taken care of and she was so attentive, caring + welcoming! HIGHLY recommend going to this place to dine in because the food is 10/10 and the drinks are strong and tasty! read more

I went here for a pre birthday celebration and so glad I did! John was our server and he made sure we had the best time. He was super helpful/friendly and sure knows how to make us have a good time, will definitely be coming back and asking for him in the near future :) read more

A.D. was our server and she is the best!!! Full of joy, and Just makes that place better! She made our experience of great food and drinks just that much better. If you get to enjoy Tejas ask for A.D. and tip her big:) read more

I had strong expectations but sadly disappointed. This is clearly one of those restaurants that orders mass produced food and tries to make it taste good with flavor. Doesn't work. The mini chicken taco appetizer was not good at all. The margaritas not any better. I would be giving a one star but I must say the veggie and shrimp tacos were pretty good. My two friends agreed their main courses were average at best. I'd skip this place. read more

Rating is 2.5. Decor is better than food or service. It was not crowded at all, and plenty of workers were present, but the wait for drink from bar was much longer than average. The wait to order was much longer than average. The drinks were way too small for the price, but the glasses are pretty.:/ The food was just okay- basic. read more

By far the most memorable Resturaunt my family and I visited on our vacation! The food and service was exquisite!

Terrible food, even worse service. Was obviously just an afterthought to the staff even though it was barely half full.

Food is good, but the personal had very poor skills in service. Not coffee at all, not even in their supplies. For a breakfast place that sells breakfast tacos? read more

Service all the 5 stars. Staff was helpful and attentive the whole time. Black Coffee- bomb I wanted to ask what the roast was. Delicious! Tacos, Chips and queso - good! Curly fries - get! I like spicy salsa like not just hot. The kind that as your eating your eyes water a bit and your body temperature rises a little. So if your not at that level all the salsas are safe even the habanero which for me was a level 1 on heat. :( Service makes a difference for me. I want good people to succeed. read more

We're sitting here right now and have only gotten one dish with no tortillas that come with it as well as getting our starters after the one dish with only one of the two starters we ordered and it wasn't even the correct order. There wasn't much service and seems a little hectic. This happened to two of the tables next to us and it just all needs to be sorted out. read more

Tejas is a fun place to go if you are looking for a great atmosphere, yummy drinks and even better service! The margs are delicious and priced so well! Our favorite server, Tori is a bad ass when it comes to service and always makes you feel like family. Definitely put Tejas on your list of must visits! read more

This place is incredible! Their brisket tacos are phenomenal and their prices are far more affordable than other locations in the area. Their horchata is also fantastic and the atmosphere is modern while staying authentic. Definitely going to be coming back here on the regular! read more

Best taco so far!! Great service!! Definitely coming back!! amazing house made tortillas, will definitely be back with the whole family for the breakfast all day tacos. Everything is also locally sourced and you can taste the difference. read more

Below average food, horrible drinks, and sleezy servers. They utilize an iPad for checkout and take advantage of large groups through this. When it came time to pay we were unable to review the check because it's digital, and were shown a screen with a suggested tip amount (normal) - but the server never stated that gratuity had already been included on our checks and proceeded to collect 40%+ from 7 people. Do not waste your money here supporting bad business - we tried to support local new restaurants and this was their way of saying thank you. read more

All of there food was amazing from the chips and queso to enchiladas, beer and margaritas. Torey and Markus and the whole kitchen were outstanding. I can't wait to go back for a amazing experience again read more

I love, love, love this place! I am born and raised in Dallas, so having a place in the heart of Oak Cliff that has great food, great atmosphere and TEJANO music is a blessing! Jorge, the GM is very knowledgeable of the area and what us Tejanos need in the Bishop Arts area. He was very kind, helpful and made my family and I feel at home. I highly recommend Tejas!! The smashed burger was fire! Thanks Jorge and your staff for your awesome hospitality! read more

Tejas is so good! Good food and great staff (ask for Jeraldo)! The Paloma is amazing. Definitely get the guacamole too!

I love what they have going on at this restaurant!! The food is flavorful (even the chips and salsa!), and the margaritas are definitely a must-try! I had the joy of having a frozen spicy watermelon margarita (seasonal), and I believe it's one the best drinks in the Dallas area. Real watermelon juice (not that artificial stuff), local products, you can't go wrong. The frozen Paloma is great too! They're constantly making changes to meet the satisfaction of the customer, and it shows. read more
