In Short – Terra-cotta casual meets brand-conscious clientele at this trendy spot. In warm weather, pitchers of sangria and sidewalk tables are coveted; wintertime, the dining room is noisy and warm. Bare wood tables and booths, adobe-like walls accented with pottery and wrought-iron chandeliers combine for a super-relaxed atmosphere. The menu merges traditional Southwestern fare with contemporary taste, such as the smoked trout tostada with roasted beets and the veggie-friendly ravioli with goat cheese and lavender-sweet salsa.

Good But Overpriced
by gopher02
Upon reading the many reviews of Tejas I realized few restaurants ilicit such a broad range of feelings and opinions. Like many things in life, the truth lies somewhere in between. It is defintley better then a 1 star rating but should not be considered an unbelievable choice either. The restaurant itself has a lot going for it. The ambience is great altough it can be crowded. The 50th and France area is a nice place to eat so the general area is desirable. The menu however is fairly limited. The choices that are offered however are very good. In particular, the fresh Guacamole is incredible and to not try it would be remiss.
The drinks are very expensive and if you order more then one be prepared for a hefty bill. The service is good and overall the food is tasty. I just don't feel the food justifies the expensive prices.

Very unpleasent!!!!
by WylieW
My parents came to town to visit so we decided to try Tejas for supper. The Fresh Guac was the only thing that was good. My mother and I had the short ribs.....It tasted like chewing on a hard, fatty, chunk of beef jerky. I would have preferred a McRib sandwich from McDonalds! Didn't even eat it because it was so bad. The service was horrible, the waiter never returned with chips to eat the guac with...we sat with no beverage refills for the entire meal, never was once asked how the meal was. And at the end of the night we had a $140 bill for 4 people. If I was able to give this place a half star I would have.
- Pros: Good Parking and Good Guac
- Cons: Horrible Entres, Horrible Service, Over Priced

Bad food that is very expensive in a fast food environment....
by hundheim
I will never return to Tejas. Our waitress was very friendly but seemed to be very rushed. The food was horrible.
The calamari appetizer was over cooked and way to spicy. The nachos were so-so but I think Tejas has run out of cheese.
I has the flank steak "fajita style" - the steak was inedible and the salsas were cold. I sent the whole thing back.
My wife had a steak "special" - I use the term loosely - it was dry, overcooked and touch.
My daughter had a pasta "special". She said it was ok.
My son-in-law had the steak "special" also. He said it was ok.
All in all a bad experience. Bad food that is overpriced in an atmosphere that reminds me of a bad hotel restaurant.
