50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Dallas

“Mrs. Araceli, who was the one who attended us, was very kind and attentive at all times, asking if we were okay, if we needed anything else, it is the first time I have come to this place and I have had a nice experience! I will definitely return to eat here ?“

“We’ve been to the Casa Linda Torchy’s for years and it’s become our Friday lunch spot. Great service and food, and awesome location.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly location! See lots of local youth sports teams celebrating wins and seasons.“

“Our visit here was amazing! The service was excellent and the options on the menu were diverse. The food was fresh and delicious- especially the Pollo Moderno. Would go again!Dietary restrictions: The staff was knowledgeable with the ingredients of the menu options and helped us steer away from anything we couldn't eat.“

“Today I went to eat at Mi Cocina for the first time and they already have a regular customer. The food is incredible, I recommend the nachos and the meat quesadillas. The service, great. Stefhany attended us and it was undoubtedly an excellent experience.“

“Speedy service, they get you in and out, although we stayed for a while, catching up with friends ?.The chips are a little crunchy ? and good salsa. You can purchase several other salsas for your table.I enjoyed the made in house tamales and my chicken enchiladas. I wasn't a big fan of ground beef taco (flavor needed).We did like the white queso.You get generous portions and worth a visit.Parking: Small parking lot attached with valet during certain times...I had to park down the street and walk 2 blocks.“

“The food is superb. Everything I have had has been amazing with taste. The only downfall is the entire inside of the restaurant, the lights are too dim to see - makes it difficult at lunch to take friends or co-workers unless you all enjoy eating outside and I don't.Parking: The free parking is located in the back on Boll Street about 30 spacesKid-friendliness: Not kid friendly restaurant“

“This place is where you need to be when it comes to great food and customer service. Jermaine our waiter was amazing. He suggested great food and we ordered it. It was everything he said it would be. Edgar the manager was truly the best. He came to make sure we enjoyed our food and made us feel at home. The Margaritas Edgar suggested were delicious and worth every penny. Thank you Edgar I’ll be back!!! To top it off the Tres leches cake was soooo good ?!!! 10/10“

“We have been here a few times on Sundays and food is always fresh and tasty, service is always great! The staff go above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of, always friendly smiles, we will definitely be visiting again, ambiance is great, they do have private events at times so I would contact the restaurant first, we found out recently about the private events, the restaurant had closed early for the event but even at that the staff were still so friendly and even offered us complimentary chips and salsa for takeout, we kindly declined but was very nice of them to offer.“

“Came from out of state to hunt this place down near my hotel and was not disappointed. Torchy's always delivers the goods and I had a good experience as usual. Food came out quick and hot, service was tremendous, and Joe did an amazing job keeping everyone happy. Even got my basketball game onto the TV for me as I watched and ate my grub. Definitely recommend. Awesome experience.“

“Edgar really went above and beyond with our visit here. He was kind and attentive and did such a wonderful job helping us pick menu items and find something we would all like. Huge thanks to him and definitely asking for him when I come back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!“

“Super fast service, I put my order in online and got the notification it was ready less than 5 minutes later. Tacos are really good and it's amazing to have a vegetarian option for traditional tacos because I normally have to just get beans and rice at taco places!“

“I have absolutely no hesitation on giving this place five stars. The food is great and the drinks are strong and will floor you quickly. I will be back soon! ???Vegetarian options: It's Mexican food. There are always vegetarian options.Parking: Moderate amount of spaceKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and the music played in the restaurant is appropriate for childrenWheelchair accessibility: Everything is on flat ground“

“Uno Mas - fabulous service & great food. Don’t waste your time w/a skinny margarita, go straight for the full sugar margarita, add some mango and tahini for the rim. It’s worth it and not near as good w/o the full flavor, duh. Sam is a phenomenal waiter & you’d never know he was just a few weeks in. He was so accommodating, all of the staff was. Truly was a great experience with fabulous food n drinks!!ThanksFrom Louisiana ? ❤️?‍⬛“

“The food is excellent, served sizzling hot. Our server was Antonio, who was fantastic and personable. We also love the layout of this location, with the lounge area separate from the dining areas, making conversation at the table so much easier than dealing with the noise around a bar. A very pleasant experience overall.“

“Hello. If you know anything you know that the men at Mi Co HPV's Monkey Bar rule the roost in most sweet way. I do not know other people who serve so well without ceasing, make the most amazing drinks, and do all with a smile. I am so very thankful for my David, Chris, and “

“White visiting in town, we were told to check out Torchy's, and it did not disappoint! We tried the burritos, tacos, and queso. Everything was delicious and service was quick and friendly. We would 100% come back again on a future visit.“

“First time to order from here, and we had lunch and had it delivered. We ordered for 8 people. Most either got some combo of fajitas or a taco salad. A couple of people wanted to order tacos but the site would not let them. It would ask them to pick beef or chicken but there was no option to even pick. The food from ordering to delivery was 45 minutes. Everyone got what they ordered except one person was missing their side of avocado. Also the fajita orders with beans, they arrived all over the inside. Other than that food arrived warm, and everything was very good, everyone liked it. Only giving 4 stars since we were missing some of our order, the messy beans could have been the delivery not them when they first packed it. We will order again from here.“

“Read a lot of great reviews on this place and decided to try it out. I went on a Thursday afternoon around 4pm. (During happy hour) Nice crowd there but I didn't have to wait to be seated. Host was extremely nice. I sat on the covered patio area and really enjoyed it. Waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the veggie fajitas and a cup of queso. Everything was really delicious and flavorful. Salsa and chips were really good. Will definitely be back.“

“Only reason service got 4 stars is a couple of the cashiers are unfriendly. The rest of them are cool and polite. Security is way cool. Big Man is always looking out for not just the store but for customers as well. Very much appreciated. A little pricey but hey it's 2024. Prices on everything are rising.“

“100 percent recommend eating at any of the many locations. The food quality and service are outstanding. The last few meals at different locations have been delicious. The trompo tacos are hard to resist to try a different option of many. The breakfast tacos and platters. The chorizo and..... well worth the experience with a family friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: All locations“

“Starting from the parking lot. The parking attendance are nice and courtesy.Entering into the place this they had a wonderful smile.Went to the bar first the bartenders are just outstanding.Move to the dining area the waiters and waitress are a five star .I suggest going casual, business-wise, being a regular person no matter the color gender.From what I saw they are outstanding with the disabled.This is the location off of Bishop our own Bishopgreat job“

“Luís was our server and he was totally ON POINT! The food was out to us quickly and it was delicious. Good portions and a great price! I recommend Rudy's Plate - beef taco, sour cream chicken enchilada, a beef enchilada, rice and refried beans. I've been looking for a place which serves Mexican rice like I remember it from growing up in New Mexico. I finally found it! The place is right next to Bar None - in a shopping strip so there is plenty of parking. Go here; cold beer and tasty food- you won't be disappointed.“

“I had been looking forward to coming here for a while since the outdoor decor of this place kinda got me with its kitchsy appearance. It's huge inside and on a weeknight they were busy. A one hour wait without reservation! So first thing, staff here is awesome. Truly awesome the whole reason this place gets 4 stars from me. The food, not my thing. Don't get me wrong, it is solidly tex-mex and they give you generous portions befitting our fine state's reputation for bigness. The problem my family had was that every was on the blander side for our taste buds. The hint of seasoning was there but it's definitely not for these south asian taste buds so we will not be returning. My advice though is that you give it a shot. It was an overall nice experience despite the long wait. Make reservations.“

“We came during Friday Happy Hour for dinner: super attentive service, Majid is friendly & silly. He will crack you up and take care of you real good!Hubz had some decent margs on the rocks, I had topo Chico for drinks. Queso, chips and salsa are perfect! All 3 are the authentic recipes I like.For dinner hubz had the Juan's plate, I had shrimp chile relleno. It's kinda rare to find a place that offers so many dishes with shrimp, mushrooms and or spinach so this impresses me.If you come to party ask for Majid! Haha“

“I made a reservation on 5 de Mayo to celebrate my uncles 50th bday with the family at the Preston location. The food and drinks were so delicious!!! The staff was great we were treated like family and made feel special ! Our server Hugo was super attentive and we even got greeted by the manager Rafa. Thanks guys ! Such a special family day with yummy food“

“If you're tired of being DISAPPOINTED by your dining out experiences, DO EAT HERE. Everything was fantastic. The food was fresh and tased great! The server was laid back and not pushy, asked question. Management was very present and clearly doing their part in the team taking checks, talking to guests, it was fantastic. I had sweet tea and honestly that was my favorite part. It probably send silly but the beverage really makes the medal for me and I like tea to taste like tea not watery or weak, and also not bitter. It was perfect. Everyone in our party couldn't say enough good things about the place.“

“Today was one my better days at Ojedas I tried something different A lot cart It was the Chicken Taquitos Was very surprisingly Great will get that again They keep getting better with their food Highly recommend to go and try u will be back“

“My husband and I came to eat at mi Cocina and Ricky, our waiter was amazing! He was very attentive and very fast! He recommended the beef fajitas which were delicious! We will definitely be back and Ricky will be our go to guy from now on!Parking: Parking is fast and easyKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly half the people on the patio had kids“

“No wonder this place has been open since 1994. The atmosphere was great. The service was wonderful. I had Bryan's Burrito and that thing was a beast. It was a giant delicious burrito stuffed with rice, beans, and steak covered with this spicy tomato sauce. It was delicious! Definitely coming back to try the Margaritas!“

“Would definitely recommend for a group or for a party. Service was super quick and attentive. Prices are reasonable for the area and parking was easy. Food was great, no complaints from our other guests. They kept the birthday cake in the back until after our dinner and brought it out with candles and singing. Loved it!“

“Fast service, good food and very affordable. For what is essentially a fast food place, this is a great option. If you like tacos (and if not, you're in the wrong state) this is a nice, clean, reasonable place to eat. We will definitely be back.Vegetarian options: The great thing about Mexican food is you can leave meat out of any dish - and it is vegetarian.“

“Nice staff and good food! I visited to try TexMex cuisine. It was a Friday night, so there were many people dining in and getting takeout. Due to the long wait around 40 minutes, I decided to order takeout. The staff working at the takeout station were very friendly and helpful! When I ate the food I ordered, I found some dust around the top of the pepper, but it wasn't a big deal. Overall, it was a little bit salty, but the taste was good. I will visit again!Parking: They have their own parking lot, but you may need to drive around to find a parking spot during busy times.“

“When we dined at the bar today, Megan was so attentive, some of the best customer service we’ve had in a long time. I made sure to recognize her and put it on the receipt. She was just a joy, and made sure all our needs were taken care of.Vegetarian options: Was nice to see the options listed clearly on the menu.“

“I don't have any pictures of the food to share because I inhaled it.I've been twice, and got the chilaquiles verdes both times because I liked it so much the first time. The verde is pretty hot, so if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, proceed with caution.The server ninja stealth refilled my coffee so much without my noticing, that I had the shakes for a few hours after I left.The staff is super friendly. The prices are more than fair.I am so glad that I stumbled upon this magnificent restaurant. It's definitely going on the regular rotation.Some day, I may even try a different dish!“

“Get the barbacoa (on anything!)+ rice and beans! Huge quesadillas for the price - easily two large meals. Located next to one of the cleanest, well kept meat departments I've seen in the neighborhood (including Tom Thumb and Kroger). Tons of fish and fresh meats in this location and it always smells and looks fresh.“

“Preston Hollow has another Tex Mex winner.Menu , atmosphere, and service provide excellent dining.Lunch today was cheese enchilada with Queso, crispy beef taco, rice and beans.Chips and hot sauce were fresh.Tomatillo sauce on the side provided a tangy addition.Worth a visit!“

“Food is fantastic and the franchise seems to have a great standard across many (if not all) locations. Ocassipnally I'll see a bare bones crew or a very busy restaurant, but the food is well worth the wait. Barbacoa tacos and lengua tacos from here reign supreme in my book.“

“This place was soo good! It has a more ritzy side so definitely come dressed in your Sunday best I would say. The staff were amazing and so sweet.The parking was extremely annoying when we left but I came right when they opened so I was grateful for a up close spot.“

“I’ve been coming to this place for 20 years. The John Wayne plate has cured hangovers that would kill a mule and the coffee is dark as midnight plus it keeps coming until you’re jittering so hard you can’t hold the mug!Seriously though, the nicest folks serving fresh made food in a laid back atmosphere. If you want to eat like an East Dallas local, this is the spot!“

“Went here on my birthday because they sent me a fabulous coupon. My husband and I had great service. The restaurant is so pretty. Feels like you're on vacation a little bit. Food is always excellent and fresh and clean. Our server was so attentive but he did not wish me a happy birthday lol!“

“Fantastic restaurant!!! Tacos, chimmichuri steak, and fajitas were fantastic. Sopapillas were heavenly. Server (Christian) was perfection! Perfectly attentive and helpful. Owner came by and was incredible and passionate about the restaurant. We will definitely be back and taking more people next time!“

“First off I must say this is one of my favorite spots in lake highland, everytime I get off work I have to come over and enjoy a nice app or drink, the bartenders are always great. Ricky was my bartender this particular day and he gave me the best drink choices. He was so friendly and down to earth and I ended up spilling my whole life story to him. But that’s what happens when you build that connection with your customer. Excellent food, excellent service, and amazing drinks always! Oh yeah! The music is EVERYTHING!!! Love the diverse playlist, I was singing all evening. They just need to add karaoke here. I’ll be back for sure, as always!“

“Cool little spot and the staff were all so nice!! Will definitely be making the hour drive back to this spot soon! Try the El Padrino and Rock Ross they are amazing!!!Dietary restrictions: The bean have lard in them, but staff was very helpful with dietary restrictions!“

“Great service, I did not like my food upon first looking at it and the wanted something different and was happy to do it for me. The food was good, I got the chicken quesadilla with rice and refried beans. The environment inside was very homey and welcoming.“

“Today was my second visit to Casa Rosa and it was just as spectacular as the first. Eloy was our server- he is a subject matter expert, attentive, and polite. The food was incredible. I ordered the combo plate with the beef chimichanga and chicken enchilada, as well as the flautitas for an appetizer. In the past I tried their beef fajitas, which were also exceptional. Parking isn’t an issue, as the Bank of America next door is available as an extra lot after 6pm. Thank you for the great dining experience!“

“We have dined this location several times & have always been very pleased. This last visit was a luncheon for our Sunday School Class, 12 guests, and our waiter & the kitchen handled it with ease. Bailey, the valet service lady, is always cordial & efficient as well.“

“We went in with a table of 7. The table had the Rico Salad with beef, Chicken Quesadillas, Mi Cocina Changa, Beef Fajitas, Chicken Fajitas and Mini Tacos. The plates came to the table and it was obvious all of the food was fresh! The plates were beautiful and delicious!!! We will be back when in town again. Our service was also great. Being from New Orleans we are sometimes disappointed when eating out of town. This was definitely an exception!“

“Overall, the fish tacos were great for their price. The fish didn't stand out and I wish they had more seasoning, but combined with the other ingredients, had good overall flavor. The beans and rice were good, and surprisingly the pico salad had a lot of good flavor as well. Needless to say, I will be back again to explore more of the menu!“

“Stopped in for lunch while running errands. Fast and attentive service. Food was yummy, salsa is garlicky and delicious. Also had a margarita, it was a little on the sweet side for me but not bad. Nice atmosphere to dine in very chill. Will be back!“

“Amazing service cordial employees and great tacos. Got the 25 trompo tacos and they are sooo good. The Webb Chapel ext. Location is nice clean with tables and chairs if you rather eat at the place or take them home and enjoy while watching a movie“
