El Texano

Food is very flavorful, margarita was refreshing. I had the tacos and my boyfriend had the burrito. We both left with happy tummies! There are three hot sauces, red was low spice, green mild, and the orange was pretty diabolical! Deff worth a shot to swim by this place. We'll be back for sure!

Best "authentic "Mexican that we have tried in 14 years in Tampa! The dish a friend from Mexico recommended is called Molcajetero, not only delicious but what a presentation. The chef is from Puebla Mexico so all the salsas are recipes from that region. The Red sauce is called "salsa borracha" as it's made with beer. Delicious Salsa verde as well, spicy! Our lovely server Zoe suggested that next time we try the Mole Poblanas made from a typical Puebla Restaurant. The restaurant was super clean, no fancy but the food alone is worth stopping by! Great prices too!

Loved it!! We are from Dallas and am so glad we found this place! I had the tortilla soup and it was great! Authentic and great atmosphere! Gonna go back for breakfast for sure!

I have lived in Tarpon Springs for nearly three years now and had never considered stopping at this awesome Mexican restaurant. I pass it by every day back and forth to work. It's tucked away in a little strip mall.Beginning... chips and salsa. I'd never had chips with green salsa before. I was a little skeptical but it was REALLY good - spicy but very tasty. The chips were made in the restaurant, not bagged chips (I asked). I could have made my meal from the chips and salsa, they were so good!Middle... I ordered the Burrito Texano ($9.99) with chicken. It was smothered in red and cheese sauce and was loaded with chicken, rice and beans. Again, AMAZING flavor and enough left to take for my lunch the following day.End... I decided to save some room for dessert. They only offered churros ($3.99) but that was okay by me. They arrived hot and topped with chocolate and whipped cream. Super tasty!Final bill for the night for my burrito and churros came to $14.96.Overall, judged to be a 5-star dining experience.... and, I'm glad because I was looking for a really good Mexican restaurant.

It's been awhile since I've been here and it was even better than last time. I know, I couldn't believe it either. I had the combo #2 and it was 5 star! I love their chips and the mild verde sauce they serve with the chips is really good.

We had wonderful authentic Mexican food. The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious! The waitress was very attentive and professional and our margaritas hit the spot!!!!!

My husband, son and I love eating at Texaco's! The food is authentic and delicious. The servers are friendly and prompt - we look forward to our weekly meal here

Elected to give this place a try after many years of being either in the plaza or driving by. Quick seated, got chips & salsa as we looked over the menu. Wasn't too busy but there was a decent sized table already seated. Nonetheless when we ordered we got our food in a timely fashion. Everything tasted fresh.

Overall the food was very good. The waitress was alone without help but considering we were a party of eight I think she did quite well. She managed to bring out all the food and drinks in a very timely manner.

We enjoy eating at El Texano, however I called in a Togo order at 740pm and was told the kitchen was already closed!!! The hours posted are closing at 8pm... it's not as if I wanted to come in and sit there and eat out of respect that they were closing at 8. If they are going to close the kitchen at 730 so they staff can leave at 8pm then maybe their hours should reflect that! The gal on the phone was rude and said well I don't know what to tell you, the kitchen is closed!
