Disappointingly small.
Tried the 956, la choripapa and Tio Willie. They were fine, nothing special. Certainly not worth the 20 mins line outside.

Breakfast tacos were delicious. We got there at 10:45 on a Sunday and still had a decent wait; but those who got there at 11:15-11:30, the line was super long. Still delicious, just beware of its popularity!

My party arrived at 12, waited in line for 30 minutes, only to be told there weren’t any more tacos available. What?

What better way of spending a Saturday afternoon than getting access to the number one breakfast burrito spot in DC. I’ve heard about La Tejana through different networks on social media. We got there around 11:30am and waited about 45 minutes until we placed our order. The order came out relatively quick, which was nice. It’s a cool little spot and a neighborhood gem. They are open from 7:30 AM to 1 PM and then they open again at 5 PM. They have a very friendly staff and the quality of their food is top tier. My friend and I sat upstairs, which had plenty of seating. I ended up getting four tacos and it was the perfect amount of food for me. My favorite was the 512. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they do pick up orders. The restaurant has been open for about two years now and every weekend the line is out the door as you can see in the images. Looking forward to getting a chance to go back it’s probably less busier early in the morning.

Cocktail bar closes at 9:30 on a Friday. So kind of a bust. Not sure how that’s even worth it for them.

We loved our drinks but the intense incense upstairs was unpleasant and we left sooner than we'd planned because of it.

La Tejana’s breakfast tacos are nothing short of spectacular. Each bite is packed with authentic flavors, and they truly capture the essence of the RGV. The frijolito taco, in particular, took me back to my childhood, reminding me of my grandmother’s cooking. The simplicity of the refried beans combined with the perfect tortilla makes for a comforting, nostalgic experience. La Tejana has mastered the balance of hearty and flavorful, creating a taco that feels both familiar and exciting. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast or a sentimental culinary experience, La Tejana delivers every time!

I loved this place in the past and went out of my way to get here early to avoid the long weekend line. That said, for some reason today the tacos tasted like the ingredients were reheated, particularly the potato— of which there were far more than normal. Not sure if this was a fluke but it really ruined the tacos for us.

I used to live in Texas and La Tejana is the first authentic Tex Mex I’ve ever had outside of Texas. 10/10 would recommend!

The best handmade tortillas I’ve ever had. The service is excellent, the owners are very kind and friendly. We stood in line and it moved very fast and was worth waiting for. Very professional and fast service so don’t be afraid to wait in line when it’s busy.

From South Texas, probably the best breakfast tacos I have had in the northeast. I wish they offered a few more choices, but over all pretty good. I do wish their order setup was different, there is often a line and it's just not the best setup.

We placed a large catering order with La Tejana, we were thrilled with the breakfast tacos. Really great service throughout the process as well, thank you!
