I want to preface this review by stating my waiters have always been on point and attentive. This review is my experience with management and the kitchen.My last two experiences here have been horrible. I am a huge fan of the animal fries! Unfortunately, this is the second time that I have alerted staff that the “Texan queso” ingredient was missing. The first time, during Super Bowl, the manager on duty reluctantly replaced the fries but only after my waiter insisted. This second time a separate manager(the one from before was present and likely informed him about my first experience) explains to me that “queso means cheese in Spanish”(ah really). Also, my partner’s enchiladas were a soggy sopping mess. Management is obviously not aiming for quality assurance. There was no need to go back and forth so I politely asked to have the fries removed from my bill.I have ordered these fries time and time again and received the “Texan queso” on them. I have no reason to get over on this establishment and merely want to receive what’s advertised and taken to account in pricing. Nothing more, nothing less.Hopefully, this garners the attention of the appropriate parties to either correct the menu or staff.Best.

If you are an 18 year old with a fake ID who wants to pretend you're a "grown up", this may be the place for you. Otherwise, it's an obnoxiously loud and crowded mess of a place. The only thing Texan about the place is the name. They have country music blaring at concert level necessitating everyone to yell, which adds to the noise and chaos. Our server would constantly say, "What?!!", because even she could not hear anything. The food has odd ingredients in it too, for example, their refried beans taste like they have Italian spices in them, which just makes them taste weird. Several others in my party also noticed something "off" about how the food tasted. You can barely hear yourself think in this place and it's overflowing with the aforementioned 18 year olds obviously sporting fake IDs to get mediocre cocktails, which should tell you something about the quality of the food and drinks. Unless you're 18 years old and trying to find a place that will serve you booze, skip this place.

I came here for the carne asada tacos. The meat was dry but other than that they tasted really good. The guac was the best part. My server was very busy and working hard. There was this one guy walking around with an earpiece in. Boy did he think he was important. Too important to notice me waiting for 20 minutes looking very bored with en empty table waiting for my bill. He literally walked by me at least 6 times, doing what, I'm not sure. Lol definitely needs a little more customer service traing and more observant to his surroundings.

Baby, when i tell you this place was a 10/10! Me and my coworkers went over for lunch on Friday. The weather was awesome and they had the open windows with a nice sunshine. The drinks were amazing, the food was awesome and the customer service was great. Christina was our waitress and even though she was new, she did an awesome job. My favorite thing had to be those brisket nachos. I literally almost ate the plate. I’ll definitely be back.

A Flavor Fiesta at Texan Taco Bar! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Texan Taco Bar, and it was nothing short of a flavor-packed fiesta! The ambient and vibe of the place immediately caught my attention as I stepped in, a secret door disguised as a refrigerator that added an element of intrigue to the whole experience. The moment I settled in, I knew I was in for a treat. The lively ambiance created the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The decor was tastefully done, adding to the overall warmth of the place. The food was luscious! I ordered the CARNE ASADA, and it was a culinary masterpiece. The mezcal-marinated 8oz center-cut skirt steak was cooked to perfection, boasting a smoky and savory flavor that left my taste buds dancing. The salsa de casa added a delightful kick, complementing the steak beautifully. The accompaniments were just as impressive. Grilled jalapeños and cebollitas provided a satisfying crunch, while the charred tomato added a burst of freshness. The cilantro lime rice was fragrant and flavorful, and the charro beans were a comforting side that rounded out the meal perfectly. The service was prompt and friendly, with the staff adding to the overall positive experience. The menu offered a variety of tempting options, making it a place I look forward to revisiting to explore more culinary delights. If you're a fan of bold flavors, friendly vibes, and a Texan twist on traditional favorites, Texan Taco Bar is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and savor more of their mouthwatering offerings!

This is a loud & lively bar with pretty good appetizers. We should have stopped there as my fish taco wasn't great. But the drinks kept coming & servers were friendly!

The security guard David immediately listened to my concerns and escorted out the two guys that were making me incredibly uncomfortable. i've never been at a bar where the security has been so receptive. it made me enjoy this place 100% better. i will go back to this bar for both it's fun but also that i feel safe coming!

The ambience was amazing very cool the entrance. The food was bomb from the Baja Fresh tacos to the green enchiladas. They had also a little game to play while you waited for food. The waiter was super nice and kind the view we got was also very beautiful. I have no words for the dessert it was out of this world. Make sure you save room for dessert!!! They gave very good portions and also the pricing was fair.

They didn't tell me I would b seated downstairs. Any other restaurant noted they had an event and you couldn't make a reservation. Being honest would've been appreciated. I brought guests from out of town and said how fun it is here and we sat down stairs with nobody the atmosphere was obviously a lot different. So for that reason it was a bad experience unfortunately.

Terrible experience. They provide letter size sheets of paper with a big QR code printed on it then re use the sheet with the next customer. Why not just print the menu on the paper? Parlor Pizza does the same idiotic thing. Stupidity. While I was there, my phone was not picking up the QR code and the bartender said it must be a phone problem and walked away. Another bartender helped me.
