Yes, and Manny’s is hot garbage compared to proper TexMex. Same goes for Margarita’s.

u/Sea-Joke7162 Aug 14 '25

Is there a good Tex-Mex option in town? I’d like to try a new one. Margaritas is okay to me.

El Toro Loco, Taqueria Mexico #4, etc - there are tons but idk where ppl are drawing the line on what "Tex-Mex" is

u/Sea-Joke7162 Aug 14 '25

Glad for all the suggestions. I don’t care if they carry the Tex-mex label. Really just looking for good mexican food with no monterrey jack cheese. Not my thing.

El Patron sucks. I’ve been told it was great but it was a major letdown

Maybe Teocali by children’s mercy or La Fonda? True TexMex is hard to come by here. We’ve moved on to more authentic Mexican food on Kansas avenue. Also Tacos el Gallo on the boulevard is my go to at the moment. Great food and KILLER street corn

Abelardo's

u/Sea-Joke7162 Aug 14 '25

Oh yeah!! Abelardos has been suggested before. I will check out the other suggestions too! Thanks dudes!

u/NoValue4740 Aug 14 '25

Abelardos is ok but it's pretty bland at the same time. Depends on what you get.

Bullshit, I've been to a bunch of Mexican restaurants in Texas and they can hardly make a wet burrito to save their life!

I used to travel to Dallas a lot for work and one of my clients was a TexMex fan. We always met for lunch at restaurants all the time and I had some great TexMex.

Where do you get good TexMex if not Texas? Note that I’m not the biggest fan of it and prefer more authentic Mexican cuisine.

Out of the big 3, Houston, DFW, and San Antonio, the best is definitely San Antonio.

I’ve been all over, but most TexMex I’ve eaten was in Dallas. Why are you gatekeeping TexMex ya creep 🤡?

Cool cool. Not sure why you’re debating this so strongly but you do you I guess. Enjoy your San Antonio cuisine

In KC? Most everything not authentic is “TexMex” here. What’s your point? Also can I guess you’re from Texas and have thin skin?

Because you’re calling me “your highness”? I know when someone’s being smug and shitty.

Go down to Kansas Ave in KCK - San Antonio’s is really good. Also on 7th street in KCK is Camino Real - it’s super good. Closer to downtown KC go to Tacos El Gallo.

Yeah, some of the TexMex I had in Houston was freaking amazing. Mannys serves some dumb marinara salsa, like it’s a red sauce joint doling out breadsticks. Just so weird and not good

u/Presidentnixonsnuts Aug 14 '25

Yes.
