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.

This no frills Tex-Mex institution turns out pretty good renditions of the classics that are very well seasoned. The atmosphere definitely has that “shopping center” vibe and the service can be spotty, depending who you get, but the quality of the food makes it worth the trip. I’d prefer a spicier/more interesting salsa, but the puff beef tacos and sour cream enchiladas are some of the best in the city. Great place for a casual weeknight dinner with the family.

Best Tex-Mex in Dallas! Family owned and run. Single location NOT a franchise. Very tasty mild salsa for the North Dallas crowd. Salsa served in individual bowls so you don’t have to fret over others double dipping….very thoughtful. The chips were so fresh and crisp. The crispy beef taco is one of the best I’ve ever had. The chicken verde enchiladas were top notch. Oh, and not pictured was the sopapilla OMG!. Ask for the honey to smother the sopapilla. It reminded me of a homemade donut that I use to cook on Saturday mornings with my kids.

Very nice family owned restaurant. It’s been around since 1947. Classic tex-mez food. I was pleasantly surprised to see the famed San Antonio puffy tacos on the menu and they did not disappoint.

I ordered a large Guacamole Salad, and this server Amelia asked me whether I wanted beef or chicken, which didn’t make any sense because it didn’t show on the menu. I simply answered chicken since I thought it might be something special. When I was ready to pay I found the price was different on my bill so I asked her to bring me the menu. It turned out that she placed the wrong order and brought Fajita Salad to my table. She tried to blame me that I told her I wanted chicken so that she made the mistake and I reminded her it’s she that asked me whether I wanted beef or chicken and the order she brought me only had one size on the menu, and I mentioned large for the one that I wanted. This person needs to pay attention and not try to blame the customer for her own mistakes. Not a happy experience overall!
