Texano Cocina is an absolute gem in Dallas! From the food to the cocktails, everything is incredible. The crispy beef tacos are a must-order -- perfectly crispy, flavorful, and seriously addictive. And the pork molcajete is absolutely phenomenal, with so much flavor and the kind of dish you find yourself thinking about afterward. And you have to try the margaritas. The Tornado Margarita is fantastic, and the peach frozen margarita is dangerously good. The food is authentic, elevated, and full of flavor, the drinks are creative and delicious, and the whole experience is just so much fun. Texano Cocina is officially one of my favorite spots in Dallas, and I cannot recommend it enough. Run, don't walk! read more

We went here for dinner on a Saturday night after an event at the kid's school in West Dallas. We had been here several times before and always enjoyed the food. My "top shelf" margarita was very tasty and they made it straight up the way I requested. The wife ordered prosecco but she thinks it was not actual prosecco. But it was good. The food was very good as usual. I really liked my brisket tacos. The meat was tender and the tacos included sautéed onions and peppers. The consume was good but I could have used more consume in a larger container since it was hard to dip a big taco into a small container. The wife really liked her street tacos. The order was generous at 5 tacos. The fajita beef was smoky and cut into very small pieces which made it very easy to chew. She liked the corn tortillas. So, no problems with the food. Our service from Alejandro was also very good. He was efficient and everything came out the way we requested. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the bizarre experience we had getting a table. We arrived about 6:15-6:20. I asked the hostess for a table for 3 and she asked if we had reservations. I said no and she answered no problem. At that time, we were the only ones in the foyer. At 6:30 a large group came and said "we have a reservation" and were promptly seated. They were the only people to enter the restaurant as we waited. That gave me the idea, maybe I should make a reservation, so I went to a popular restaurant reservation app that I will not name and found the restaurant. I asked the hostess if it would helpful if I made a reservation since there was an opening for 6:45. She said no, just give me 5 minutes. So we waited more and nothing was happening. At 6:35 I went ahead and made a reservation for 6:45 and informed the host and hostess of this fact. At 6:43 the hostess said she had a table. With nearly a 30 minute wait I had envisioned a full restaurant and assumed all the tables were occupied. As we entered the main dining room, we were shocked to see 5-6 tables empty, maybe more, I just looked quickly and did not an exact count. But the point is that our wait problem was not a table supply problem. After we were seated, Alejandro appeared immediately so I don't think our wait was a waiter supply problem. I do not understand why we had to wait so long when tables were available and no other people were entering the restaurant. It gets even stranger. The hostess seated us at a table that was directly in line with AC blowing on the table which the wife and kid do not like. The wife asked if we could sit along the wall. The waitress said no because that table was for four people, but she had seated us at a table for four so that made no sense. Then she said that along the wall was reserved for people with reservations, and we reminded her that we had a reservation. She then said she needed "permission" to seat us there so she disappeared. Eventually, she came back and said it was ok. The whole episode was very strange. The seating drama is the reason for 4 stars. read more

I was at Texano Cocina on Lemmon Ave for lunch on Cinco de Mayo sitting at the bar with a friend, and the experience was completely unacceptable. There was one barstool in the corner next to me with very little space, and the manager Carl came over and rudely snatched my belongings off the stool and started throwing them onto the bar without saying a word. When I asked him what he was doing, his response was, "I need this seat, it's Cinco de Mayo, we're going to be crowded today." Meanwhile there were other open seats down the bar. I asked why he felt the need to put his hands on my things instead of simply speaking to me respectfully like a professional manager should. He walked off with an attitude and never apologized. I usually let things go, but I'm not going to tolerate nasty, unprofessional behavior from management. Customer service clearly is not a priority there. Between the rude treatment and the mediocre food, I definitely won't be returning. This place has changed names and managers several times, and after this experience I can see why. I was honestly two seconds away from cussing his ass out, but I chose to leave instead. read more

This was a hidden surprise near Dallas Love Field Airport. Staff are super friendly, good atmosphere and great range of food and drinks. I couldn't decide on what I wanted, so I got the sampler plate under the appetizer part of the menu and it was all very tasty. Also had their coconut frozen margaritas and that was equally as good. They were not shy about putting in the tequila! If you are in the area and want good food and good service at a very fair price. Then this place will not disappoint. read more

Texano Cocina - The sampler plate - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Fresh out of the gym and running on fumes, I needed two things: a solid meal and a place to watch my Cowboys. Saw the high reviews and thought, "Alright, let's see what the hype's about." Walked in and the host seated me quicker than a two-minute drill. I grabbed a bar seat--seven TVs glowing blue and silver, the Cowboys on every screen. There's something special about watching America's Team in Texas... the cheers hit louder, the energy feels like home, and you can't help but get swept up in it. I went with the 3-item combo: chicken enchiladas with green sauce, Spanish rice, and charros beans. And listen... I'm almost certain somebody's abuela is in the back putting her whole heart into those recipes. That plate tasted like tradition--warm, comforting, and exactly what a hungry soul needs after a workout. Absolutely hit the spot. Might have to do an extra set tomorrow to make up for it. The whole place was spotless and well-organized, the kind of clean that tells you people here actually care. The bar staff greeted me the second I sat down, joked with customers, and had food out faster than I expected. Genuine kindness, not the scripted stuff. This isn't just a "stop in and eat" type of place-- it's a spot where good food, good people, and good vibes show up at the same time. One of those restaurants that reminds you why dining out can still feel personal. I'll definitely be back. And next time, I'm coming hungrier. read more

Best Tex-Mex in-town. Margs even better. Service tops the list. I look forward to bringing my whole family back.

Ground beef Enchiladas were average, shrimp tacos were good, spanish rice was dry this visit, black beans were average, refried beans not much flavor. To my dismay, I was a bit disappointed with this second visit. I was hoping to make it my fave mex restaurant. Alas! read more

Stopped in for lunch at Texano Cosina and I'm really glad I did. It's conveniently located in a strip mall just a few minutes from Love Field Airport, and parking was easy--even with a full-size SUV. I was greeted warmly at the hostess stand and seated right away. The décor was tasteful and comfortable. Chips and salsa arrived almost immediately--the chips were thin, crisp, and perfectly salted, and the salsa was outstanding with a great balance of tomato, herbs, citrus, and salt. My server, Daniela, was fantastic. She was friendly, took the time to learn my name, offered great recommendations, and checked on me throughout the meal to make sure I never needed anything. I started with Rajas con Crema, which was absolutely delicious--poblano peppers, onion, corn, and crema, perfectly seasoned. I chose the flour tortillas, and they were exceptional--warm, buttery, and easily some of the best I've had. I even used the rajas to top my fajita tacos later. For my main dish, I ordered the lunch fajitas and was surprised by how generous the portion was. I swapped cheese for sour cream and upgraded to charro beans (there's a $2 upcharge). The guacamole was very good, the pico de gallo had a bit more heat than I'm used to but was still enjoyable, and the meat was tender and well-seasoned. While not the best fajitas I've ever had, they were solid and something I'd definitely order again. The only downside was the wait time for the food--it took a bit longer than expected for lunch, though it was clearly made fresh. Overall, Texano Cosina is absolutely worth checking out if you're in this part of Dallas. Prices are reasonable, the food is above average, and the service--especially from Daniela--was excellent. read more

This place is pretty good. Reasonable prices, good service, and hasn't been crowded when I've been. This trip we had mixed fajitas and chicken enchiladas. Both were good. This isn't the best place around, but it is better priced than some of the others. Not bad for the price. read more

Cute little place. Tasty Tex Mex Our bartender was very attentive and friendly. It used to be Casa Rosa which we loved but they've expanded the bar area and added some TVs so it's perfect for a quick bite and a snack watching sports The dining room is inviting but that's not OUR style. Ample parking The jalapeño popper appetizers are delicious My favorite is the bacon wrapped and grilled version. The steak fajitas were sizzling and well marinated. Love the salsa and the margaritas I will definitely come back read more

Finally. A place in this spot with delicious food, drinks, a truly great happy hour and good tunes. It is also so refreshing to have excellent service for a change. The staff is welcoming and works as a team. We've been working our way around the menu and have loved most everything. Beef and chicken fajitas . Chicken enchiladas . Flauta dinner. Tortilla soup . Just when we thought the refried pinto beans were amazing, we had the black beans which are even better . There are also two rice options . Plus $5 flavored margs during happy hour that aren't stingy on the pour . I obviously recommend. read more

This is the best Mexican food in dallas, and I grew up here! I order Guiso de Res with corn tortillas and the spicier salsa every time I come. The restaurant has a bar/lounge area if you are looking for action. The restaurant area is lively and comfortable. There is a vip section in the back if you want to book a private party. The service is top notch and our last server, Alex, personally crafted our mescalita. You won't find a more balanced drink with mescal. read more

The family and I stopped in for lunch and were seriously impressed! The food and service both exceeded our expectations. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but a few standouts for us were the bacon-wrapped Texas torpedoes and the brisket flautitas -- both were absolute hits at the table. And the churros were some of the best I've ever had! On top of that, the service was incredible. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Tonight was my third time to Texano and I was looking forward to it being as great as it had been the previous times and tonight was as a bit disappointing. There was some sort of party going on in the back room that was pulling focus from the entire staff including the manager. It felt like we were definitely second to the party in the room. Our service was just ok. We started with cocktails and queso. We sat without chips for entirely longer than we should have with the queso getting cold. Second one of us ordered a second drink, the same as the previous one. When he got it, it was different. I watched the waiter go to the manager and say something then I saw the manager go to the bar and taste the drink. Then he gave it to the bartender, they took it to the back and then the waiter broght a drink back. Was it the same one or did the manager actually drink the other one?? When the drink arrived, it tasted just as the previous one and not what we had ordered. It just all felt very weird and shady after I saw the manager taste a drink the customer had just drank from. We got our dinners and they were not the same level of quality of food as the last time I was there. It was a bit disappointing and the whole experience felt very uncomfortable. Not sure if I will return. Just left feeling like we were second to the party but also treated a bit shady. I'm a sucker for a good experience and this was not a good one. read more

An excellent place to enjoy with family or friends; excellent service, delicious food, and everything very clean.

BEYOND BIZARRE! Okay...walked in at 1:50 pm. First time trying but drive by frequently so figured we would give it a shot. BIG MISTAKE. Was seated by hostess who physically handed us a Menu and Happy Hour menu at 1:53pm. We ordered nachos off the Happy Hour menu prior to ordering Fajitas for the meal. Waitress immediately circled back and said we couldn't order the nachos because they were on the Happy Hour menu that stated at 2pm. We asked why we were given the menu if you weren't able to order from it. THEN pointed out it was 1:55pm. She went and got the manager who showed up at 1:56 who told us that they didn't have a button to override the timing and since we got there before 2 we couldn't order off that menu. I asked her why the hostess gave us the menu and she said she was new and was still learning. I asked why not just wait what was now 4 minutes to enter it and the manager repeated we couldn't order off the menu because we arrived before 2pm. Enough of the shenanigans! I wondered why there were only 2 other tables eating in the restaurant when walking in. Never a great sign. We left and went to a packed Mia's that was on point as always. And guess what??? Got nachos at Mia's with no problem! Would never return. They need some serious help! read more

A very pleasant experience. Our waitress was amazing! Very attentive and made sure we were always good to go. The owner happened to be there as well and came over to our table to say hello! The chips and salsa (which is what I think about before going out for Tex-Mex) were great. The fajitas were flavorful and the single portion was a good amount of chicken - and the restaurant itself was beautiful inside. You could tell that the owner(s) put a lot of work into the decor and overall feel of the restaurant. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Such an amazing lunch experience :) read more

Good food - one of the top quality Mexican restaurants in the metroplex - would definitely return again

Let's start with the beginning. What a lovely entry way, warm and inviting, and your hosts have been amazing. The dinning room is beautiful and makes you feel relaxed and want to stay a while. The servers have all been super attentive and courteous. The food is some of the best I have had since moving to the metroplex. Contemporary versions of things I have eaten at Mom and pop restaurants for years. Cohesive flavor pairings and excellent presentation on every dish. read more

We decided to give Texano a try--formerly known as Eddie's--and honestly, not much has changed besides the name. The decor, most of the menu, even some of the staff seem mostly the same. I had only been to this Eddie's location a couple of times in the past (more familiar with the Greenville spot), but thought we'd check it out again. Once again, the place was nearly empty, which should've been a clue. Our server was kind and attentive, which we appreciated, but the food took a little longer than expected considering there were maybe two or three other tables. The real issue came when the bill arrived. My tacos al carbon were listed at $18 on the menu--but showed up as $20 on the check. Definitely not worth the money. Same thing happened with a friend's meal--an unexplained $2 markup. We didn't order any upgrades or extras. It feels a little sketchy, and not something you expect (or appreciate) when you're already paying higher-end Tex-Mex prices in a nearly empty restaurant. The margaritas weren't strong enough for us to not notice that. It just wasn't a great experience overall, and with so many fantastic options nearby, we won't be back. One and done. Sorry not sorry. This place will close soon. read more
