This place is better than the Mexican food in San Diego. Had to travel to midwestern Kansas to find the best Mexican food ever. Note: The waiter did me a big personal favor, altruistically, at what appeared to be the end of his shift. He didn't make that known, but I later learned. Only small town hospitality would accommodate us in such a caring manner. The food was excellent. Great salsa, chips and they even cut up an entire avocado at my request since my diet was temporarily restricted. That is in addition to a big favor that our waiter did for me, an out-of-towner. Thank you for serving my aunt, a native Kansan and long-time Southern California resident, and me. I will go back just to visit this place! Caveat: Please don't be in a rush when you are seated. The quality cuisine is well worth waiting for its superb preparation and presentation beyond anything either of us have yet to experience in bustling San Diego or Los Angeles. The waiters are merely (and courteously, may I add) busy helping customers like you, so please know they aren't being rude or anything like that. Just communicate directly with them. We were in a pretty big hurry, but this isn't a fast-food joint. Next time, I plan accordingly. I suggest you overlook any naysayer with conspicuously missing photos. This isn't Americanized but authentic Mexican cuisine. Clientele who have traveled outside of the Missouri State Fair will recognize and appreciate this high quality food. Great food, great company, fun atmosphere. TIP: A great stop on the way to or from The World's Biggest Ball of Twine. This review is all in my opinion only. The owner has obviously put a great deal of effort into making this a unique dining experience for diners of all ages and of all walks of life to enjoy. Enjoy life by eating here! read more

Good Mexican food in Beloit! Service is quick and portions are good. We like the quesadillas.

We ordered a Burrito Granda à la carte at lunch today. We realized when we were already on the road again that we had been over charged by about $5. We called and asked how much a burrito grande à la carte was and were told $9.99 which is what we thought we were paying. Then we said we were over charged it looked like for the meal price one. He said call back at 5pm and talk to manager, which we did. He said no, the burrito alone was $13.99! So we feel he didn't want to deal with it and lied to us. With tax, he owes us about $5 we feel. Also, it was a horrible burrito with tough grizzly meat, and a green sauce that didn't taste right. But instead of taking it back and asking for something else, my husband just ate it so not to cause anybody any undo trouble plus it's hard to speak English to any of these people that work there. So we ended up eating a poor quality burrito and was over charged $5 including tax. We do not recommend this place to eat! read more

terrible food smelled off was off color huge fat chunks next morning others with me were sick from the food have photos as well service was crap food was dangerous really read more

My grandparents always take me here for lunch after church on Sunday when I visit them. The food is delicious, especially the Pollo Bandido (forgive me if I spelled that incorrectly), and the portions are large enough that we always have leftovers for dinner. The staff are friendly and usually fast even with the Sunday lunch rush, too. Highly recommend. read more

worst service I've ever had! I ordered quesadillas and the tortilla was whole. I asked if I get get it sliced. the waiter that was playing with his Rubik's cube said "you have a fork, don't you?". rude people. I never saw another employee. Did I mention the staff was rude? I got done eating and the same guy said "well that was fast!". yes sir, because no one checked on me and I had no water or salsa. so why stay?? will never go back. read more

Favorite Mexican restaurant in town! The grilled jalapeños are seasoned just right. Molcajete is the best around! A must try. The kids love the cheese quesadillas. Great chips and salsa. Excellent service, and a fantastic birthday celebration location. read more

Great food and friendly service! Huevos Rancheros and quesadilla San Juan Chicken are my faves.

Don't let the outside of this place fool you. Yes, it looks like a gas station or mechanic shop but it is without a doubt the Best Mexican food in the area. Great chips and salsa and flavored margaritas. Highly recommend the pollo cama. Just need to update/remodel the outside and would be an easy five stars. read more

first of all didn't get drink refills or salsa refills. next all the adults got served before the kids. My order was wrong. I ordered no pico de Gallo and it was all inside my burrito. My sons ordered no vegetables which was all inside his food all the kids food was screwed up. They all ordered hamburgers with pickles and ketchup all were incorrect. I'm very upset with the food read more

Out in the middle of no where Kansas great Mexican food. I had the Carne Mexicania it was delicious! Nice chips and salsa. Looks a little rough "The Hills have Eyes" from the outside, but inside it's very nice with cute colorful tables and chairs. I definitely recommend it if your on your way to the "Worlds Largest Ball of Twine"! read more

Tejavan Mexican Restaurant - a man sitting at a table with food - Mexican Near Me - Beloit, Kansas

The perfect mexican restaurant! Many layers of well developed flavor! Family service at its best . Off the beaten path which adds to the charm. Margaritas strong tasty and delicious. Do not miss this place there are a lot of cars (customers)and a simple metal palm tree. It is not an obvious restaurant keep your eyes opened read more

Live in San Diego and I'm a Mexican food fanatic!! My litmus test is always two things: quality of salsa or hot sauce and the carne asada - both were amazing. Super impressed (and surprised )!! read more

Passed through Beloit for business and stayed at the Backyard Lodge motel across the street. Ignore the ripped sign, they will get a new one soon. The food is excellent. I ordered the shrimp, steak and chicken fajita. Sizzling hot with a big side plate of rice, beans, and guacamole, all for $12.99! I strongly suggest you visit while passing through this small but friendly town in Beloit. read more

Extremely busy for a mid week lunch which told me it must be good. I had the steak fajitas and it was absolutely delicious. Despite them being under staffed, they were extremely efficient in their service. Very good experience. read more

Really good merican food! I forgot I was in Kansas! Authentic flavor and extensive menu. The servers are friendly and our order came so quickly! Great job! If you're passing thru, toy gotta stop in! read more

Nice local Mexican place. Nothing fancy, but tasty! I loved my chicken taco salad, and the burritos were so great. A perfect place to just munch on some chips and chill. The only thing I would suggest is more service. There were only 3 servers for the whole restaurant, and they seemed slightly overwhelmed. read more

Their food is authentic and tastes amazing! I am a Beloit native but for more than one decade have traveled from city to city, across the United States. I had to make an emergency trip home and wanted to take my daughter out for dinner. We choose Tejavan. I ordered the Chicken Fajiata Taco Salad. It was beyond delicious! I wish I was still on town. I would order it again to eat two nights in a row! The service was prompt and the food was reasonably priced, for a small town. If you're ever passing through this "blink or you'll miss it", "Andy Griffith hometown", you must stop in and give it a try! read more

We were driving through doing deliveries and it was late and we were hungry. We found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a shot, it was by far the BEST Mexican food we've ever had and we've been to many different places. 5 star all around besides having Pepsi products read more

Was pleasantly surprised finding such authentic and delicious Mexican food in the middle of Kansas. Rivals or beats anything I've had in the Southwest. read more

It's one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants ever! So good and never have had a bad experience!

Loved the chicken chimichanga & white cheese sauce. The have great fresh guacomole. Salsa also has a wonderful smoky flavour.

Stopped in off the road for a quick bite. Very good! Guacamole is very fresh and my chimichanga was very tasty. Friendly, prompt service.

I've eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants in my life. I judge Mexican food on the margaritas, chips, salsa and guac. HOME RUN here!! Salsa is fresh, pretty sure it's made using the farm stand produce next door. The chips are thin, crispy and warm. The guac has onions, tomato, jalapeño and garlic. All is outstanding as was my tilapia with mango salsa. Super yummy! read more

Not bad for the middle of Kansas! I go often and regret it a few hours after, but it's usually worth it.

Good local Mexican restaurant! Have never had a bad experience here. Clean place with quick service and attentive wait staff. The food is always good! read more

Been there several times. Absolutely the best fajitas I've ever had. My wife grew up here so we plan eating there each time we come back
