We've been to this place a few times before, which is why this experience was really disappointing. When we visited recently, we noticed roaches crawling around in the dining area while we were there. It immediately made us uncomfortable and definitely affected the whole experience. We almost left, but since we were already there and didn't want to go somewhere else, we decided to stay and give it a chance. Unfortunately, after seeing that, it was hard to enjoy the food and the overall experience just wasn't good. Another thing that stood out is how dark and dim the restaurant is inside. It makes it hard to see much around you, which honestly made us wonder about the cleanliness after what we saw. We had been here multiple times before without noticing anything like this, so it was surprising and really disappointing this time. read more

I grew up going to the Texican on Manchac and it was always a treat. It's nice having one a little closer to home. The location is nice and feels modern with a nice outdoor space. There's a little kids play area every can run around in. They do a great brunch on the weekends and the mimosas are cheap and good. We like meeting friends here on the weekends. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The food is consistently good. This is comfort food- just good Tex-mex you can count on. Major points for having a good kids menu and being family friendly! read more

Always good food. Service is good and the staff is pleasant. Good menu selections. Need more words. More words. More words. I think I added enough. Not sure. read more

Great chips and salsa. The chips had a great texture, a little different than what you would expect. This is a large restaurant with lots of seating. I got the chile relleno stuffed with chicken and cheese, very good. The tortillas are homemade, but they are small. Service was good just like the food. Everyone in my party enjoy their dishes. I would come back here again. read more

Texican Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Kyle, Texas

Came in on Saturday for a family lunch, waited by the host stand for about 3-4 minute before my mom went off to find an employee to assist us with getting sat. Started with some chips and queso which we enjoyed, my mother noting who she enjoyed their chips. We ordered the sour cream enchiladas, chicken fajitas tacos, carne guisada plate, and pork chop and egg brunch plate. Overall, my carne guisada was okay, I've had more flavorful gravy in the past elsewhere and prefer Mexican rice with just more robust flavors, where it was all just pretty flat. My brother seemed to enjoy his enchilada and my mother spoke highly about her pork chop. I'd likely want to try other places before coming back however our server, (believe her name started with a V) was wonderful. read more

This honestly hurts me so much. I've been eating at Texican for years. My favorite location was the one on South Lamar (it's long gone now) and second is the original Manchaca location. Sadly, over the last year the Kyle location has just gone downhill. I've gotten sick the last two times I've gone. I'm such a diehard I went back after being sick the first time. Their meat is just so salty and greasy now and often tastes like it's just sitting. The food is almost always cold when I do a pickup order. The last time I ate in the restaurant the waitress completely forgot about us and it wasn't busy. The margaritas never taste like they have tequila in them. It's just been a lot of factors adding up over time and it just feels like they've stopped trying. I hope things get better so I can go back, but for now, I'm on a Texican break. read more

Went here on 4/11 on my recent trip to Austin with my nephew, niece and her husband. It was decent; I had the Tortilla Soup and it was tasty. The others seemed happy with their orders but nobody was blown away. Popular place, good service and pricing. read more

Texican's tortilla sizes for their fajita tacos are now the size of street tacos. Two of these for $10.00....ridiculous, and they don't include salsa unless it's a meal so I had to pay almost $3 for a small salsa that is supposed to be 1/2 a pint. I hope it was just an off night but if not, I won't be back. read more

We love Texican! We tend to go there w the whole Extended family. Tonight we went to celebrate my husbands's birthday. They kindly moved tables together for us on the patio, our waiter Alex was wonderful, and the GM came out to check in on us and make sure it was all good. So sorry I forgot your name. Natalie maybe? Plus the half price Mexican martinis on Wednesday are a great deal. And their fajitas are so yummy. Best chips and salsa in Kyle. It is definitely our go to! read more

Always great food here. If you want a quick mexican bite and good drinks/service come here. Would definitely recommend for Kyle Tex Mex.

Great Texas-Mex spot in Kyle! Not the best Tex-Mex in Central Texas but definitely a great casual spot to check out for gatherings with friends and family. The price is of great value and the food is consistently good. The service was fast and friendly. One of our go to week day meal spots in Kyle. The fajitas for one is huge and we usually split it with two people but order extra tortillas. read more

The Texican is solid for a quick lunch. We only had an hour so we stopped by and ordered two crunchy beef tacos and a bowl of tortilla soup. I couldn't believe how big the bowl was! Definitely had to take half of it to-go. Everything was good and service was attentive. read more

COME HERE INSTEAD OF CHUYS. Being from out of state, we made the mistake of trying Chuy's as our first "Tex-Mex" experience. Boy oh boy did we wish we had found Texican Cafe sooner! When we first walked in we were surprised to see how big this place was! Plenty of seats and they were mostly full which is always a good thing to see. We were seated promptly and our server was quick to bring out the most delicious homemade chips we've ever had. They were airy, crispy, salty, and most importantly WARM. We got queso with the chips and man oh man I could bathe in that stuff it was so so good. Moving onto our entrees (steak fajitas, fajita burrito) these were the BEST and I'm saying the BEST steak fajitas and steak fajita burritos we'd ever had. The steak was so tender and soft while still being cooked so perfectly! The vegetables tasted so fresh and the tortillas *muah* chefs kiss. This is the place to go for some REALLY good Tex-mex. I know we will be back many many more times! read more

Found this driving around Kyle and wanted some carne guisada. My usual spot was closed early on a Sunday. This popped up. Came in. Seated promptly and ordered the carne guisada plate double rice no beans and a watermelon margarita. Came out with in min. Very good food. Small portions tho for what I paid. We'll visit again when friends read more

This was my first time here and Wow! We had a great server! We took our time and he always came to check on us! The queso was delicious and the shrimp and beef fajitas were so tasty! I got both the flour and corn tortillas, so delicious! This place was pretty huge and I can't wait to come back and bring Jeff! I was just here for a team meeting! read more

Great Tex-Mex and reasonable prices. Loved the sopapillas and fajitas!! Our server was friendly and efficient - we'll be back again soon. read more

The lunch and happy hour specials here are a great value! The food and service are decent overall. I usually order the sour cream enchiladas or the taco salad bowl--delicious and filling! One thing I find odd is the extra charge when substituting meat for beans; it doesn't quite make sense to me. read more

I came in tonight to join friend that where already there and i wanted a drink at 8:30pm and we were by the bar. And the bartender chris stated he wasn't going to serve us. We requested the manager and chris double downed and told the manager he wasn't serving us. Manager allowed an employee to make rules. At that point I wasn't thirsty don't like being somewhere im not wanted. read more

The food is always great but we had to pay for chips that wasn't even a full bag and our to go boxes were upside down. I really enjoy this food and environment but I am a little upset we paid for not even a half of bag of chips. Luckily we live close so the juices from the food didn't leak out onto my car floor board. read more

Great selection, cute place, polite and friendly staff As I understand it, the general rule is that if you're in Texas you MUST visit a TexMex spot - we were visiting friends this weekend and this is where she suggested we go. We were NOT disappointed. Their chips and salsa are SO good. The chips are light and crispy with just the right amount of salt - SO good. We got queso, too, Damn that was good enough to eat with a spoon! I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I ordered a combination plate - corn taco, tamale, and enchilada. Each of the items was delicious (even the tamale, and I don't like tamales everywhere I go). I didn't pay a bit of attention to what the others got, but they were all pleased with their dishes. Would I go again? Heck yes. I probably would have gone the next day, had we been there longer. :) Thank you for reading my review. read more

Alright, so let's talk about it. El paso themed, which means; stacked enchiladas and a mystery red sauce they use on some entries. We didn't try any, but planning on coming back, so will update when I do try. Super dim lighting, which was only a concern when taking photos, other than that. Super chill vibe where I can invision myself sitting and enjoying good conversation. The enchiladas were "eh" good, but Verde sauce was a little too tangy for my taste, plus the enchiladas could have been rolled a little tight. The taco salad was amazing. Normally, I'm not going to go with a salad but surprised to find out just how light and filling it was. Good job. The shell it comes on need is hands down amazing. Make a puffy taco using that taco salad shell, and you got a winner right there. A lot of reviews mentioned this being more of a margarita bar, and while I will KINDA agree with it. Their drink selection is worth coming back and trying the flavors. Rumor has it they offer 2$ mimosas on Sunday. See you on Sunday. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and a place we definitely plan on coming back to. If you get the pleasure of having Jesse as a server, then good for you, you got a good one. Also. Their happy hour menu is something amazing. Be sure to always ask what is on special. There is no special posting on social, so be sure to ask what's on special. read more

Busy lunch crowd. Crazy how much Kyle has grown. Nice location with plenty of parking. It was a little loud, but not outrageous. They seem a little short staffed (who isn't these days). Several lunch specials. Went with the enchiladas verde. Standard fare on par with their other locations. Always like the West Texas spin that relies heavily on layers of chilies for flavor. Can't go wrong with the Texican. read more

Welcomed warmly, kinda dark inside. A booth is brighter if you're needing light to read your menu Fajita combo EXCELLENT, shrimp enchiladas DELICIOUS. Now my order Shredded chicken chimichanga- bland , boring, tasteless. They dont have SHREDDED BEEF!! Who doesn't have Seasoned shredded beef ‍! So bummed ( me the one who recommended this place) got the not so tasty dish. I didn't want to say anything because everyone loved their meal. I see the business owner reads our posts. Oh well , service great dont order anything chicken! Or the chimichanga ‍ read more

I had high hopes for a great, quick Mexican place right near home, but I think this may be more of a Happy Hour/Margarita place for us instead! I did enjoy the queso with fajita vegetables, and it is definitely a 4 person appetizer. Very rich and made to be eaten fast with tortillas, but I could eat that all day! Heavier than a standard queso, but still good and I enjoyed the veggies. I got chicken enchiladas, and while I loved the big chunks of chicken in it, their enchilada sauce left me wanting something with more spices, richer. Their rice was fine, and their black beans were OK too, but we've had better since coming here. Son got the ground beef quesadilla, and it had an interesting aftertaste. Kinda like a soapy taste, just off putting. He wasn't a fan, but he ate those French Fries without hesitation! Hubby got a platter and again, everything was OK, just not GOOD. He had a crunchy taco, tamale and the El Paso enchilada, and again, it was fine, but it wasn't GOOD. I think we were looking for food that maybe tasted like home. It felt standard, and that's OK, just not what we were hoping for! The service was lovely though! Everyone we spoke to was wonderful and our server did a great job! We are still going to come by and try happy hour to get some margaritas and chill in the bar or on the patio with hopes that it'll work better for us next time! P.S. We love that the menu is super GF friendly and marked clearly with plenty of food options! Thank you! read more

I love this place so much I went three days in a row! I'm from El Paso and this is the first place I've come across that has real chili sauce on your enchiladas not 'gravy'! I was by myself so it's at the bar and the bartenders were very very friendly. read more

Great food and service! Nice ambiance! Very relaxing! Lots of seating with a Bar area!

My wife enjoyed the food, but I am more of a Tex-Mex spicy guy. Food is ok but way over priced.service is excellent, and food came out Gluck and hot. read more

This restaurant has wonderful decor & friendly staff. However, I was not impressed with the lunch menu & feel there are other options available in Kyle. If you are hungry, the lunch menu is great with lots of food at a reasonable price. If you want high quality, then the lunch menu is light on options at lunch menu prices & pricier dinner selections would be a choice. read more

Been a fan since the original Texican on Manchaca opened up. SO long ago in fact they opened without a full liquor license and served margaritas made with wine. What's funny is the new Kyle location is EXACTLY the same distance from the ranch to the original location. It's cool that they opened in Hays County. Took mom for her birthday lunch. Cool and trendy interior compared to the original that is a bit dated these days. Fave appetizer has always been the stuffed jalapenos nestled atop tangy and sweet red jalapeno jelly. Best in Texas folks. Another recent happy hour fave is the botana platter. Four of the above mentioned peppers, 4 chicken taquitos, with guacamole, queso, sour cream, and pico de gallo. For $12.99, it feeds 2 and you still have extras to take home. Pair that with Texican's Morada margaritas! The Cozumel prepared fish dish is my all time favorite. Flaky white fish nestled in serrano peppers, onions, and grilled tomatoes. If that's not enough of a platter it also comes with a shrimp enchilada, guac, pico, rice, and your choice of beans. Happy to see this local gem expand it's empire! read more

Texican Cafe - Shrimp Quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Kyle, Texas

After I shot my first eagle on Kissing Tree Golf Course's par-4 18th hole, I was excited to share the news with my wife when I got back home. She suggested we celebrate by eating out. At first I was hesitant...it's not like I shot a hole-in-one or anything. She finally convinced me we should go ahead and celebrate. As is our practice to avoid going around in circles deciding where to eat, I gave her 3 options to choose from: Raising Cane's, Chuy's or this new restaurant, Texican, our neighbors were raving about. She immediately chose Texican, so off to Kyle we went. It was just before 6:00 PM on a Saturday when we went and the parking lot was almost full. Upon walking in, we were surprised at how spacious this place was. We were seated, drink orders taken and we also went ahead and ordered our meals. I ordered their Plato de Burrito and my wife opted for the Chimichanga plate. A couple of minutes later, our server dropped off the warm tortilla chips and salsa then asked us for our orders once again as he apparently misplaced our original order. No biggie. Service was pretty quick. The warm chips and salsa with a bit of kick were both good. The Plato de Burrito and the Chimichanga plate were just OK...nothing that wowed us. The beef burritos were actually more like enchiladas with red sauce drenching it. I would've preferred steak instead of just ground beef. My wife's chimichanga didn't appear to be deep fried and, like me, she didn't think the ground beef was well seasoned either. Their refried beans were good but the Spanish rice was just OK. All in all, a somewhat disappointing dining experience that wasn't worth the drive from San Marcos. After trying this place, my wife and I both agreed that we prefer Chuy's over Texican. Dinner for 2 came out to less than $25. read more

Wow, years ago I used to love this place. The service has gone down hill and hard. Our family often gets dinner to go on Saturdays because it's our "game night" where we play games together. This is the FOURTH time we have ordered take out and they have blown the meal. I mean not in a small way either. This last time how can they serve two orders of fajitas without tortillas? How can they miss that!? Or the large queso and no chips? It is so bad and so consistent that it can not be a simple mistake. This is intentional or just crazy bad. In fact, next time (if there IS a next time), I'm going to make sure not to do the automatic tip until I get there and check all the meals before leaving. Boy that's going to be a train wreck for them if everyone has to unpack their take out because they have such terrible quality controls or sub-par care. read more

WOW, this place was amazing!!!! In town for the weekend with friends familiar with the area, and this was the first suggestion. I had the San Antonio Migas with carne guisada, and it blew my socks off. The plate is full of flavor. Others had flautas, carne guisada, quesadillas, etc., and everyone was very satisfied with their food. This is definitely a place to come if you want great Tex-Mex food and great service. read more

The margaritas are very good and service is excellent. read more

Very nice decor. Excellent service in a pretty new building. I had a combination plate with an enchilada, beef taco, tamale, queso, guacamole, rice and beans. The food was good especially the tamale, however everything on my plate had so much cheese on top that it was overpowering the flavors of the individual items. I like cheese but if I could make a suggestion it would to be to put less cheese over the food when it is plated. Otherwise I would rate 5 stars. read more
