Additional Information

There are few establishments where you can get not only get quality eats and potent drinks, but, at La Tejana Taqueria, also those cowboy boots that you suddenly cannot live without after a few drinks. An experience described by Riverfront Times’ Ian Froeb as “stopping by a friend's place for a beer and a snack” rather than dining in a restaurant, La Tejana is a very laidback joint that serves up authentic Mexican fare at extremely reasonable prices. Make your buck go even further with today’s deal $20 of award-winning fare for just $10.

With a liquor store as an entry way and policy of grabbing your beverage of choice for your meal as you walk through, the chill vibe at La Tejana is immediately apparently. Once you step inside the dining room of the Mexican grandmother you never had, you will be met with the mocking, mouthwatering scent of traditional fajitas ($9.99), gorditas ($2.99), tortas ($5.99-8.99) and tacos of all variety ($1.89). Scramble to satisfy your taste buds with favorites like the tacos de cabeza (made with meat from the head of the cow), tacos al pastor and the tacos campechanos (thinly sliced steak and chorizo), all bundled up in corn tortillas with chopped onion and cilantro with salsa on the side. Though for first-timers, Froeb recommends stopping by on the weekend for the incredible carnitas.
