At Tupinamba Cafe, you are more than a patron. You are part of a story that began in 1910, when Papa Froylan Dominguez fled Mexico during the height of the Mexican Revolution with a handful of cherished family recipes. He and his wife, Consuelo, began serving those recipes with the opening of the first Tupinamba in 1947, where it is believed that the Nacho and Sour Cream Enchilada were introduced to Dallas. As the oldest family-owned Mexican Food Restaurant in the city, the Dominguez family proudly serves the same delicious recipes. We invite you to be part of a story that started as a family tradition and has turned into a Dallas legend.
Comfortable, long-running Tex-Mex restaurant serving classic cuisine, imported beers & margaritas.

Solid, old-school Tex-Mex done well. The Tupy Tacos are a must — crispy, satisfying, and kind of nostalgic. Service is friendly, portions generous, and you can tell this place has history. Not fancy, but reliable and comforting every time.

I stepped into the vibrant atmosphere and was warmly welcomed by the friendly host. They guided me to the bar to place my to-go order. Although the bartenders were bustling with activity on a lively Friday, it taught me the value of patience. After a little wait, I received the menu, and when the bartender returned to take my order, I realized that even in the rush, small moments like forgetting a margarita or waiting for water can add depth to the experience. The food arrived in a timely manner, and while it was delicious, I could sense it might have tasted even better in the restaurant’s ambiance. Overall, it was a decent experience, reminding me that every outing can teach us something, regardless of the day’s circumstances.

We ordered at 7:43pm by 7:49 our food was hot fresh and on the table. I have never had service this fast and the price for an enchiladas dinner was 15 dollars. I need yall to understand if you are hungry want good service clean environment come here I promise you will not be disappointed..

Overall good experience. Prices are a bit steep. Spent $90 on 2 entrees and 2 happy hour drinks! Combo fajitas were just ok. The 12oz steak meal did not disappoint though. House rocks margarita did not hit – maybe next time I’ll request no ice, short glass and see if that helps.

First time and enjoyed lunch! I arrived early before my date. And my server was accommodating and patient. Also we had a nice long visit and never felt rushed.
We will be back…

We stopped by spontaneously on Sunday 2 weeks ago. Parking is super easy. The caffe isn’t busy but also not empty. We were there around 3pm. The food especially the salad was delicious. All the other food was fantastic too. Very attentive service. Reasonable prices. Will come back when I’m around.

Most excellent experience! Server was a wonderful gentleman. Food was out quickly! We enjoyed a nice rainy day at Tupinamba Cafe. I had been to the old location in Oak Cliff and coming here was such a blessing. Thankful for the families continued success all of these years.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Dallas. We scheduled a corporate business dinner with them and the food and service was outstanding.
On evenings when we want to get out and grab a bite to eat we enjoy coming to their bar. Bartender, Luis waited on us and everything was so on point; from his service, the food and drinks. Great place, nice atmosphere, excellent Skinny Margarita’s!!

I have been eating at Tupinamba’s for 30 years. The food has stayed true to the original recipes and that’s a good thing.
Hot sauce is made each day and changes somewhat keeping it interesting, queso is yum, their ice tea is fresh and “pairs well” haha with the Mexican food. I always get the biggest combo plate so I can devour all of their offerings. But….my absolute favorite is the Tupy Taco. Great family owned place.

I recently visited for lunch and tried their Tex-Mex lunch special. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few surprising details.
The steak fajitas were the star of the meal—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The rice and beans were tasty and paired nicely with the fajitas. However, I was surprised the dish didn’t come with guacamole—it’s usually a staple with fajitas, but I guess every place does things a little differently!
The iced tea that came with the special was a bit of a letdown. It was almost transparent and didn’t taste like tea. It tasted more like water with a faint rea taste. Check the picture!
Despite the tea and guacamole absence, the overall quality of the food would bring me back.
