Craving Tex-Mex after spending a day of shopping in the Bishop Arts District?? Step into Tejas Tex-Mex for mouthwatering tex-mex entrees and great beverages. The inside of Tejas has a beautiful aesthetic with pretty decor and plants. Tejas also has a relaxing and pretty patio with murals on the side of the building to look at. I ordered the vibrant and fresh taco salad along with a side of delicious elote off the cob. My friend ordered the sizzling fajitas and really enjoyed them! We sat on the patio while enjoying our meal. Tejas has a wonderful happy hour menu with good cocktails. Make sure to add Tejas to your Dallas food list!

Steak Fajitas were really good. Drinks were 10/10. Service was impeccable. Went on a Friday.

This place was great! The food was delicious and our server was super nice. She described several things on the menu and she was spot on. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The food was delicious! The drinks were good too but they could have had a tad more of a “kick”. I got lucky on a parking spot but be prepared to park a couple of blocks away and walk there but it will be worth the steps. The mini tacos will be my GO TO going forward because I definitely plan to go back!

The food and drinks were delicious! The atmosphere and decor is so cool. The Les fashion and margaritas are the best. Mini tacos are a must.

This is a beautiful restaurant that sits on a corner in the bishop arts district. As there are many Hispanic restaurants in this area, I found Tejas to be the one that was open late, sold drinks, and set the ambience I was looking for. There is inside seating as well as outside seating. From the time I opened the door I felt the presence of the staff who greeted us. We were taken to our seating outside. Although it was dark, they had plenty of lighting, they will have a light on the table which also acts as a fan since it’s currently summer and still hot. Everyone was nice and we were pleased with how we were treated and serviced. The food was delicious and the drinks are very tasty and flavorful which hides the alcohol so you can get tipsy quick and not know it. Very delicious It’s family friendly and open until about 11 or longer on the weekends. I’ve seen this restaurant busy so in the day time it’s a big crowd. For parking, we did street parking. There aren’t any parking garages so all you will find is street parking. But there is so much to see in this area you’ll enjoy the walk. I had the bacon wrapped shrimp cooked well done and it was amazing. The chips and salsa was good and spicy (not too spicy), everything was so good.

This place was great! The food was delicious and our server was super nice Desirey . She described several things on the menu and she was spot on. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The food was delicious! The drinks were good. I got lucky on a parking spot and was able to get in just in time before more customers started to show up. The Fajitas tacos were the bomb and enjoyed the chips and salsa. I will definitely plan to go back and hope to get Desirey again as my server

It was no busy for a rainy Saturday night. I was seated immediately. I was happy to know they have vegan options. I ordered the veggie tacos with side of white rice and corn! The beans are not vegan since they are cooked with lard. The margaritas are great. I love the service and food. I will definitely recommend this place.

The service was great Dallas-Fort Worth area I love the busyness of it and eclectic atmosphere but food here at Teja's is okay but not great ! I love our waitress she was accommodate water was always full He had to pick up with the ordeorde but it was corrected immediately. Yes I had to take that no the atmosphere was great I probably but my favorit was the elote everything else what's up and my state was chewy.
