this is bar is so boring, bland, dated, and straight. such a waste of a great space and location in my opinion.
they screen you harder than the TSA at LAX before you can get in - invasive bag inspections, full body pat downs, and questions about the information on your ID regardless of your age. then you’re watched over the entire time by armed guards… absolutely freaky
the bartender was nice, though he didn’t seem confident in the menu. i wish i didn’t have to give one star for this review because the one drink i had was pretty good (despite its price), but this is definitely a SKIP.

Hell no I will not be coming back to this place. They allow Trump people to come in here and display their racist propaganda by wearing those stupid red hats. It's incredible to me that that would allow this given the That they claim to be a Mexican place cater to Mexican people but allow racist propaganda in their establishment. Change your policies not to allow any racist propaganda or Red hats in your establishment.

Came in and immediately this weird guy kept harassing the girls in my group. After repeatedly telling him to leave he then tried to mess around with a drink we’d ordered. We let management know and they responded by kicking out two girls from our group that he was bothering. The vibes were good up until then but definitely won’t be back since they’re clearly cool with that kind of stuff

I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience. The staff member at the door—an Asian woman—was unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. She confiscated my friend’s valid ID without a clear explanation, even after we showed her another official ID with matching information to prove its legitimacy. It felt like she was intentionally trying to ruin someone’s night, and this isn’t the first time—she has given my group issues on multiple occasions, despite us always being respectful patrons.
When we asked how to retrieve the ID, she told us to “call the police,” fully knowing they wouldn’t respond to something so minor. Her dismissive attitude and behavior are unacceptable, especially considering we’ve seen her let in people who actually cause problems, while we’re simply there to enjoy ourselves.
I used to enjoy coming here and have had many great nights, but after the last two visits, I no longer feel welcomed. I won’t be returning unless this is addressed.
If there is any way for management to contact me or arrange for my friend to retrieve her ID, please do so. We’re happy to verify her identity again if needed, but holding onto someone’s valid ID without cause isn’t just unprofessional—it’s completely unjustified

If you are Texan, don’t come here!! It’s just Texas themed decor. There’s none of the food here. Also it’s a bar not a restaurant I don’t know why they advertise it like it’s gonna be a restaurant.

We had nacho and several tacos and rice and beans. The carne asada taco was mediocre but the shrimp taco was delicious. The nachos was delicious even though it was a bit too much. The star was the rice and beans.
Good vibes and reasonable prices!!! Check out the carne asada fries they have a twist with the waffle fries but definitely one of the best items on the menu. The Cadillac margaritas are good too!!!

I like El Tejano. The food is good, and you get a lot for what you pay for. I like the self serve chips and salsa. The space is big and never feels crowded and there's plenty of seating. They have a decent happy hour. For what it's worth, even though it's 21+, it feels more like a restaurant than a bar
My only complaint is the music. It's way too loud. It makes it hard to have a conversation. I wish they'd turn it down a bit

A time was HAD last night! Watched my first baseball game in my life, and apparently, it's the World's Series? I dunno... lol. I'm not into sports whatsoever. I only meant to get lunch, lol... but the vibe was great, so I stayed a little while longer, and there was an event for Tito's tequila going on, and they gave me a HUGE pink frozen drink that tore my ass up🤣🤸🏾🍹... so I stayed a wee bit longer and before I knew it.... I was SURROUNDED by baseball fans! The World's Series is like the baseball championships I gathered. They all thought I was crazy for never having watched baseball, lol... but they were happy to explain what was happening (I still don't get it🤣), but they were cheering, and it was all a blast! I had a fried fish taco & their lemon pepper wings with garlic buffalo sauce & ranch as a dip.... lemme lol... lemme tell you sum. THESE WINGS ARE EVERYTHING... OMFG, THEY'RE AMAZING! The drinks kept coming, and LA won the game! Great times! Super fun place to watch a game if you like sports, and even if you're not a sports person, you'll enjoy the vibes! Generous patio & and indoor seating as well. Be sure to watch your parking meter signs, though... they turn into valet only after a certain hour. This place was a TOTAL win... 100% get the wings!
This place is insane HIGHLY REC
