Tepa Bar & Grill

In the words of Consuela from «Family Guy»… The salsa is delicious, but the torta was a hot mess. Nope. No thanks. Dallas is too full of yummy spots to bother even trying them again.

I’m in love with TEPA! The beef fajita and barbacoa tacos are delicious! The menudo is fantastic and the Miche’s are tasty I wish would have gone and tried them out sooner!!!

Great food and great service! I had the shrimp fajitas and they were really delicious!

Place has been here for years !! Love their Micheladas and tacos de tripa with homemade tortillas!

Although the staff was friendly and my meal wasn’t bad it wasn’t particularly good either. I can appreciate that the place wasn’t catered to Caucasians and it was very cheap. I brought a friend that had some serious problems with his dish. He isn’t the kind to complain so it must have been really bad. Also, there was no soap in the restroom. Not that the container was empty, but there wasn’t even a container! With all of the local options available this is one I will not be returning to.

First, I am not writing a hit and run review based on a late night stupor. I live 38 miles from this place and I’ve been here 7 times during the past six years.
Three years ago, the name of the restaurant was shortened from Tepatitlan to Tepa .
This is quality authentic Mexican food and you will not find any canned sauces or liquid soy based artificial cheese .
This is NOT a TEX-​MEX joint that serves microwave frozen enchilada dinners covered with imitation canned cheese sauce and ketchuppy sauce .
If you like awesome authentic Mexican food and are tired of low quality Tex — Mex, this is the place. In fact, my wife is from Mexico and this is one of the few places she likes .

Everything is fresh and natural here. You can even see them making the tortillas through the window near the entrance !
The menu includes birria, barbacoa, al pastor and most of the other favorites .
Their guacamole is one of the few places that uses fresh avocados instead of the processed green soybean cream paste .
The salsas are some of the best I’ve ever had. Even the lemonade is handmade from fresh lemons !!!
I’ve tried the tacos, enchiladas, and the awesome fajitas with fresh cilantro, onions and everything was cooked to perfection .
They also have some excellent seafood including fried Tilapia. They have marisco soups incuding siete mares. On weekends you can hire the musicians to play songs at your table.

I’m a whore for good Mexican food. But this place should be euthanized. (The name of the place is actually TEPA, that’s whats on the outside of the building).
I live down the street from this place and in my neighborhood, there are DOZENS of Taco stands, Mexican restaurants, people on bikes selling Tamales (Sidenote: can I Unilocal about them?)…etc. So BF and I decided to try Tepa.
Upon walking in, there was NO ONE in there. This was a Sunday night around 7pm. Good… Bad?
After looking at the menu (which has a Baby Goat entrée, FYI). I decided on chicken enchiladas. I mean how bad can that be? Ugh… BAD! The chicken was over cooked and the salsa tasted like water, not to mention the tortillas that said enchiladas were in fell apart, I personally like my enchiladas a little more firm that soggy. Rice and beans tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. BF was none to happy with his food, poor guy. That’s terrible. Not a good sign.
Maybe we went on an off night, and i’d be willing to give it another chance, BUT seeing as there are so many other places to go in my area, not sure if i’ll have the time, $$ or energy to waste on this place.
The scariest thing thing is that most of the time when I drive by, it looks packed. ODD! I know they have a happy hour, so maybe ill just go there and get cheap drinks. Can’t screw up a drink right? Right???

These fearless ladies (servers at Tepa) are my heroes for serving (1) late at night (2)plentiful portions for $ 5 or less and (3)making it interesting with your choice of spicy sauces, fresh toritillas, and super-​fresco chopped additions for your meal (cilantro, onion, pico).
My cravings get quelled easily at Tepatitlan… I am a repeat offender with my order of three tacos al pastor (spice-​encrusted pork bits). Get the smoky salsa roja.

Came here for a late night dinner. One of the few sit down places that stays open late in my neighborhood. My wife ordered the fried tilapia (it was a whole fish with head and tail attached) and I ordered 2 barbacoa tacos and a chicken fajita taco with a side of rice. The rice wasn’t seasoned very well and the barbacoa tasted like all fat. The chicken fajita taco was tasty and my wife inhaled the fish. So I know that was good. Not bad for a late night snack.
