50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Little Elm

“Family of 4 here. 2 toddlers. The staff here made me feel like I was back at home with my familia. They catered to my kids, let them try horchata like I did when I was their age. The shredded brisket tacos tasted like the brisket was smoked that morning. Rice and beans were top tier for the girls and the breakfast egg cheese and potato plate was a solid addition for the wife. We aren’t typically out this way because we live in Denton but I will tell you, if it’s around lunch time or happy hour and we are, we will stop here.

Gracias por todo Fuzzy’s de Little Elm!“

“Probably the most picturesque place to eat tacos in North Texas.Excellent fusion style food; my personal favorite are the Thai BBQ fajitas which arrive sizzling on a cast iron griddle in a waft of aromatic smoke. Just the right side of spicy accompanied by delicious melt in your mouth home made steaming fresh tortillas.The best seats are overlooking the lake with the mini volcano and animatronic shark!!!!“

“From “Nope” to “Nice!” — They Really Turned This Place Around

Two years ago, my wife and I walked into this place, got hit with a sewer smell straight to the soul, turned right back around, and wrote it off forever. It was a hard nope from both of us.

But credit where it’s due — we came back a few weeks ago, and WOW… completely different experience.

The smell? Gone.
The vibe? Warm and actually welcoming.
The service? Attentive, friendly, and miles better than before.
The food? Surprisingly solid — way better than what we remembered.

It’s clear they put in real work to fix things: cleaner space, better atmosphere, and a team that actually seems happy to be there. It went from “walk in and immediately walk out” to “sit down, relax, and enjoy lunch.”

I respect a business that listens, improves, and shows it.
Huge turnaround — and worth giving another shot.“

“Excellent service!“

“Colton was fantastic, got my order placed, correctly and chatted with me while I waited. Amazing customer service. The food’s great as always. I’ll be back!!“

“Love the atmosphere, love the food, love the service. Salsa Tex is just a fast paced local Tex Mex Restaurant but the food is very good. The margaritas are excellent as well. There are waits to get a table after 6:00 but typically less than 20-30 minutes.“

“Food was delicious and so were the drinks. Also our waitress Jordan Brothers was fantastic., thank you Jordan!“

“I love the food and drinks at Cristina's - this is only my second time going but each time has been a very pleasant experience. The bartender (LuLu) was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. The Happy Hour is a good thing to have and now that I know my favorite margarita is part of that, you will definitely see me more. Thanks for the great experience from the time I walk in the door til the time I leave. Its hard to find places like this - these days.“

“Had a fantastic experience here. The food and drinks were flavorful, fresh, and exceeded expectations. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated how they willingly customized dishes to suit my preferences. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the overall dining experience very enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d recommend and would love to visit again!“

“Todoo, exquisito y muy hermoso lugar“

“It was really good, the server told us a little resume about what they have in the brunch“

“We had such a great experience at this Chili’s, and a huge part of that was our server, Chrissy. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Super attentive without being overbearing, checked in on us regularly, and genuinely engaged with our table.

Our food came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered, and Chrissy made sure everything was perfect the entire time. Her energy, professionalism, and attention to detail were truly 10/10 customer service. This is the kind of service that makes you want to come back. Shoutout to Chrissy for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“We visited the Frisco location last week and I left a complaint about the manager for that location because there had been a misunderstanding. I cannot say enough great things about how well Jeremi Woods from the Frisco location handled the situation and made it right. He went above and beyond for me as a customer. We have always been huge fans of Chuy’s and we always will be! Great manager and great food.“

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the bartender Eric who was very attentive and friendly. Aside from the impeccable service and hospitality, the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this Torchys location. You wont be disappointed!“

“I come to Torchy's every Friday and I'm never disappointed! Great staff and service. Friendly and prompt. Javier is the bomb.com!“

“We come here often and it never disappoints! The food is always fresh and full of flavor, and the vibe is fun and welcoming. Regina is our favorite bartender — she’s attentive, friendly, and always makes sure we’re taken care of. She remembers us and makes every visit feel personal. If you’re at Torchy’s, definitely sit at the bar with Regina. Highly recommend!“

“I catered Fajita meat, both chicken and beef, (trays) and tacos from Fajita Pete's, Carrollton location for my husbands 60th birthday party. They gave me much more food than I was expecting and everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The pricing is excellent after seeing the amount of food they send. Aden S. (The General Manager) sent the trays of Fajita with plenty of vegetables and all the sides items to make the fajitas such as sour cream, cheese, lettuce, salsa, beans, rice, plenty of chips and delicious guacamole. The tray of taco's was stuffed with a large amount of food. I had asked for Gluten Free food to be kept in a separate tray which it was. Plus he sent me a huge stack of corn tortillas. My son pickup my order and it was hot, packed neat, very clean and was ready for pickup. Adan S. even helped me out with the chafing trays and burners, which made life easier on me. I received so many complements from my guest on how delicious and fresh everything tasted. I can't say enough about how great the food is. More importantly how nice and easy Adan and his staff made this event for me. I had about 55 people to feed and I had plenty of food. I would highly recommend the Fajita Pete's, Carrollton location. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful making my husbands' 60th birthday party a huge success. Stop by and try their food. I think you will love every bit!“

“Anastasia was the best server we ever had! Margaritas made by Freyda were the best!!!“

“Great lunches. Awesome salmon with mango sauce“

“💯 recommend! Everything we asked the waiter to recommend was absolutely delicious! We will be back for sure!“

“Bf and I came here tonight for our weekly date night, and there’s not much remarkable to say about it.

Run of the mill chain Tex mex that tasted exactly as one would expect. My steak fajitas were $26, but you get a lot of food (including a HEAP of Spanish rice and lots of tortillas) for the price. It was all just alright, nothing bad but nothing to brag about.

A few minor gripes: one being that our waiter was decently attentive but I was never offered a refill other than a to go cup of my drink (which I took), and the other being that it was INCREDIBLY loud in there. Bf and I were sitting across from each other and eventually gave up on conversation because we had to yell to be heard.

Overall a decent place to have conventional Tex mex, but there is better around, as well.“

“My family and I just ate dinner at the Lewisville location and we had excellent service. The manager went out of his way to provide a great to everyone in the restaurant. We will definitely be back. 👍“

“Always great food and great service!!!“

“Better customer service for African American people. I had water spilled on me. The waitress or the manager didn't seemed to care.“

“What a fantastic spot! The patio is beautiful, recently redone, and completely dog-friendly, which makes it even better. It’s the perfect place to relax and catch up with friends while enjoying great drinks, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere.
They truly go the extra mile — even bringing out water bowls for the dogs, which is such a thoughtful touch. The staff is attentive and welcoming, making the whole experience feel relaxing and enjoyable. One of my favorite places to unwind!“

“Amazing fajitas!!! Definitely worth it!“

“Have visited this place many times and normally get a cheeseburger, and it never disappoints. The food always comes out hot, fresh, and made just the way I like it. Chili’s has a good consistency to it & you know what you’re going to get, and they deliver every time.

The service has always been solid here. The staff is friendly, quick to check in, and they make sure you have everything you need without hovering. Even on busy days, they keep things moving and still manage to be attentive. It’s clear they take pride in giving customers a good experience.

The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s one of those places where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. Whether it’s a quick stop or a longer sit-down, the experience is consistently good.

Overall, this Chili’s has been reliable in both food and service, and that’s why I keep coming back. Great hospitality and great comfort food every time.“

“Delicious! The food is fresh and very tasty. Generous portions and reasonable prices make it all the better. My first visit, and I will definitely be back! I had the Mango Salad, vegetarian!“
