Our group of friends has had a standing Friday happy hour and dinner tradition for years. After Mario’s closed and with the price increases at Ojeda’s, we found ourselves searching for a new spot that could offer the right mix of good food, good drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. After trying out several places, we’re happy to say that Texano Cocina is exactly what we were looking for — and has quickly become our new Friday night go-to!
From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome. The service is consistently attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they take pride in making sure every guest is well taken care of. The drinks come out quickly, the happy hour specials are great, and the servers are always friendly and personable.
The food is where Texano Cocina really shines. Every dish we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and served hot to the table. The portions are generous, and the quality easily rivals (if not surpasses) some of the bigger-name spots in town. Whether it’s appetizers to share during happy hour, hearty entrées, or something lighter, there’s something for everyone on the menu — and it’s all been outstanding.
The atmosphere is another highlight. It has just the right balance between lively and comfortable, making it a perfect setting to catch up with friends, enjoy great food, and ease into the weekend. The prices are also very reasonable, especially given the quality and portion sizes, which makes coming back week after week a no-brainer.
In short, Texano Cocina checked every box for us — great service, amazing food, fair prices, and a fun atmosphere. We’ve officially found our new Friday night tradition spot, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a place to relax, eat well, and feel welcomed.

I stopped in for lunch at Texano Cosina today, and I’m sure glad I did. The restaurant is conveniently located in a strip mall just a few minutes from Love Field Airport. Parking was a breeze—even with my full-size SUV.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly at the hostess stand and quickly taken to a comfortable table. The décor was tasteful and thoughtfully done, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Shortly after being seated, a busser brought out chips and salsa. The chips were thin, crisp, and perfectly salted. The salsa was exceptional—I absolutely fell in love with it. The balance of tomato, herbs, citrus, and salt was divine. My server, Daniella, greeted me promptly and was friendly and attentive. She took the time to learn my name, offered great recommendations, and consistently checked in to make sure I had everything I needed without ever being intrusive.
I started with a side of Rajas con Crema as an appetizer. If you’re unfamiliar with this dish, it’s pure joy—strips of poblano peppers, onion, corn, and crema, perfectly seasoned. It comes with a choice of flour or corn tortillas; I chose flour. When I opened the tortilla basket, the first thing I noticed was the smell of butter from the absolutely outstanding flour tortillas. The rajas were delicious wrapped in a tortilla, and I also used them later to top my fajita tacos.
For my main dish, I ordered the lunch fajitas and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. I substituted cheese for sour cream, as I’m not a big sour cream fan, and upgraded the beans to charro beans (note: there’s a $2 upcharge). The guacamole was very good, and the pico de gallo had a bit more heat than I’m used to, but it was still enjoyable. The meat was well-seasoned and tender—while it wasn’t the best fajita meat I’ve ever had, it was definitely good enough that I would order it again.
My only minor complaint was the wait time for the food. While it was clear everything was made fresh, I was hoping for a quicker turnaround during a lunch visit.
Overall, if you’re in this part of Dallas, Texano Cosina is absolutely worth checking out. The prices are very reasonable, the food is above average, and the service—especially from Daniella—was spectacular.

Newly branded place, super service. Martin is the best. Everyone helps each other when busy, which is nice to see. Food is very good. Happy hour prices are stupid cheap. These were 5 bucks. Burger and fries happy hour $11, cheaper than Whataburger. Happy to get a good place here. Sorry, drink was strong, can’t spell.

My friend and I used to go to Mario’s all the time because it was close and the margaritas were strong, even though the food had gone downhill over the years, it was still our neighborhood spot. When it suddenly closed we were pretty disappointed.
We decided to try Texano Cocina today with low expectations… and we were blown away! The drinks were strong and delicious, the salsa was amazing, and the fajitas were seasoned to perfection. Everything came out hot and fast, and the service was excellent.
We even recognized a few familiar faces! One of our servers and bartender Alex both came from Mario’s, and they’ve really stepped it up here. This place just became our new go-to for friend nights. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I absolutely love this place! It’s the most curated Tex Mex I can find around Dallas. Will always be a good go to spot for brunch, lunch or dinner! Rick and Abel were so accommodating. Cowboy queso will always be a go to, the vibe, the staff, the drinks are well poured as well! I’ve known Rick for years and this spot is the best one yet! Don’t miss out, find out!

The food I say in my opinion could’ve been better. The seasoning wasn’t their on the skillet fajitas but the drinks helped

This place is one of our go to spots since it is right by our home, and we come here all the time. The bar is perfect for watching football and the dining area has the ideal vibe for a date night or a fun evening out with friends. The drinks are always great, the food is consistently amazing, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new favorite spot.

Had lunch here and the food came out quickly, which was perfect since I only had an hour. Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was very chill, the music was great, and Sergio the bartender was amazing—great personality and excellent drinks. The service was spectacular. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend! ⭐

The staff, the food, the aesthetic – everything is so good here. I made a small comment on how liked my queso spicier, and they gave me extra jalapenos on the side. The host and server were kind enough to ask for my name, and they addressed me personally throughout my entire lunch. I’ll definitely be back, bringing my friends for brunch next time!

Service from Daniella was impeccable!! The mango margaritas were delicious and large. The brunch menu is fantastic but truly everything is amazing. It’s Tex mex but elevated with true Mexican flavors. I’ve been to this restaurant a number of times and I’m never disappointed with my food or service! Highly recommend!
