Howdy y’all! Come kick up your boots and stay awhile at El Tejano – Los Angeles’ ultimate Tex Mex hangout. The plan is to serve the usual suspects: Texas-Style Queso and Frito Pie, in an amazing indoor/outdoor relaxed environment. And don’t forget the margaritas: frozen, on the rocks, with a beer in it for all we care. Just get here quick for great grub and a huge outdoor patio chock full of games to play and TVs to watch.
Colorful outdoor spot for nachos, queso, grilled meats & flour tortillas, plus cocktails & beer.

El Tejano is a fun spot with great vibes! We had a great time, drinks are reasonably priced, and the food is very good. Parking, however, can be a real challenge, especially on busy nights. Also, I really wish they never removed the billiard table, it was a great touch that added to the atmosphere. Still, it’s a solid place to hang out with friends, enjoy good food, and sip on drinks without breaking the bank.

I was waiting patiently in line for the women’s restroom and speaking respectfully with others in line. As we approached the front, a security guard abruptly forced the restroom door open with significant force, shining a flashlight directly toward us (as shown in the attached photo). The door was pushed aggressively into the women standing in front of me, and I verbally warned him that he was pushing the door into them.
Instead of acknowledging the concern, he ignored it and proceeded to shine his flashlight directly into my face. He then allowed a different group of women who were behind us in line to enter ahead of us. My concern was for the safety and well-being of the women who were physically pushed by the door. I calmly spoke up because the behavior felt unnecessarily aggressive and unsafe.
Following this, the security guard’s behavior escalated. While my friend briefly stepped out to understand what was happening and defend me, I proceeded into the restroom. At that point, the same security guard again shined his flashlight directly into my face and then escorted me out of the bar, despite the fact that I had not acted aggressively, violated any rules, or done anything to warrant removal.
This experience was deeply upsetting and unjustified. I was respectful, compliant, and simply trying to use the restroom. Being singled out, intimidated with a flashlight, and removed without cause was alarming and unacceptable.
I am sharing this because no patron should be treated in an aggressive, intimidating, or unsafe manner, especially when they have done nothing wrong.

A time was HAD last night! Watched my first baseball game in my life, and apparently, it’s the World’s Series? I dunno… lol. I’m not into sports whatsoever. I only meant to get lunch, lol… but the vibe was great, so I stayed a little while longer, and there was an event for Tito’s tequila going on, and they gave me a HUGE pink frozen drink that tore my ass up … so I stayed a wee bit longer and before I knew it…. I was SURROUNDED by baseball fans! The World’s Series is like the baseball championships I gathered. They all thought I was crazy for never having watched baseball, lol… but they were happy to explain what was happening (I still don’t get it ), but they were cheering, and it was all a blast! I had a fried fish taco & their lemon pepper wings with garlic buffalo sauce & ranch as a dip…. lemme lol… lemme tell you sum. THESE WINGS ARE EVERYTHING… OMFG, THEY’RE AMAZING! The drinks kept coming, and LA won the game! Great times! Super fun place to watch a game if you like sports, and even if you’re not a sports person, you’ll enjoy the vibes! Generous patio & and indoor seating as well. Be sure to watch your parking meter signs, though… they turn into valet only after a certain hour. This place was a TOTAL win… 100% get the wings!

Security was hella rude to one of my friends. One Security had told us to move to a certain spot and then an older man “security” came to move only my friend in a rude way and was threatening to throw him out. He did nothing wrong, there was enough room for the old man to get by but he was acting privileged like we owe him something. No other bar/club is like this security just moves around people not force them out of the way because he thinks he is owed something

Happy hour every day where you can double your drink order for two dollars or get a bigger size for that same price. Fish tacos were good, wasn’t crazy about the hot sauce on them but overall pretty good. Beers and food are a bit pricey for what they are but not absurd. Have been a few times and will continue to go. Fun vibe at night!

Tacos were awesome. Drinks were a pricey for how syrupy they are. But the atmosphere is awesome and a super cool place.
UPDATE: went back 2 days later, and food was not good at all. Saturday it was awesome. Monday it was not at all. Lettuce on the bottom meat on top of the taco and looked like it’d been sitting around for forever. I guess only go on the weekends.

Happening spot with ok food and drinks. Prices are reasonable and portions are respectable. That said there is much better mexican food at other places. Fun bar with a beer pong table, corn hole, large size connect 4, etc. Gets busy at night and can be hard to find a table.

This is Tex-Mex for the California palate so don’t expect the real thing, but it’s pretty good. I saw lots of fellow Texas here and there atmosphere matches the vibes of Austin’s trendiest Hangouts. There’s a nice bar, lots of activities, and free chips and salsa (a Texas staple!).
They need a third flavor of salsa that is a little milder as the two available are flaming! A nice avocado salsa would be great. The portions are huge and prices are reasonable. I’ll definitely be back.

Tonight was my 3rd visit to this location and I’m going to tell you my go to drinks and food. You can’t go wrong with the margaritas! Happy hour all day everyday allows you to get a larger version for $2. Chips and salsa are always free at the salsa bar because the drinks are strong! But that’s not the best part, the guacamole is. I ordered chicken taquitos and they were so good and the only true healthy option. My friend ordered there carne asada tots, and those were really good. Besides that this place is fun, they have games outside and don’t forget to take care of your bartender!

Taco Tuesday? Yes please! The tacos were amazing.
Bundle up because it can get cold on patio (in March, too, right?!) But otherwise cool place.
Right now there are long lines to get in but just get in early!
