Tejas Grill

Great place! Very different menu from La Esperanza and much better! I have been twice now!

Food is fantastic. The big boy in the back can cook. Now if anyone else is cooking there’s a huge drop off… and the service is bottom of the barrel terrible. They forget something every single time and the young girls could really care less how your experience is going… but man that guy can cook!!!

very boring mexican food. Burrito is $ 8 and comes with a meat, chicken, and beans inside with a slight drizzle of sour cream on top. On the side is a small iceberg lettuce salad with no dressing. Where’s the salsa, the cheese, or really anything else to elevate this burrito up to something remotely worth $ 8? Simply disappointing

We go to Tejas (or order takeout) at least once a month. I love the quiet and casual atmosphere of the restaurant. We always order tacos since they are so cheap and always have so much meat. Our favorite is the Al Pastor taco! However, lately we noticed they haven’t put pineapple in the taco which has been disappointing.
The complimentary chips and salsa they give you are homemade, spicy, and very tasty. I always insist that we get an order of guac for the table!

Went in with the family tonight expecting to find the place that use to be there. Went in to go give it a try. Service was slow food was just ok, the little amount that we ate. We did not finish our dinners because when my husband took my son to the bathroom the waiter/​cook went in used the restroom and did not wash his hands!!! He looked my husband in the face and just walked out. Never ever will I go back!

Slowest cooks and service ever. There was only one other table and I ordered eggs. It took them 25 minutes to
Make
Our food. Never coming back.

Delicious authentic mexican food. Might be the best in the south jersey area that i’ve had. Tasted fresh.
Slight downside was place was empty
And service was a tad slow.

I stopped by and I taste the orchata… oh my God!
The best Orchata ever!
After that I tried the Pansitas Soup I highly recommend

The food is bland and microwaved, and the service is terrible. I thought it had an «authentic» feel as I walked in but it seemed more on the cheap side when I left, probably due to my experience that day.
There were two smoke alarms beeping! How do you not notice that and fix it? I know, I know, I should have just walked out because it was like torture. They just seemed oblivious when I mentioned it though.
The beans and curds everyone raves about is obviously microwaved. They were fine but nothing to rave about.
When I ordered my meal and talked to the waitress, I asked a question about red and green sauce but decided on red. She brought me what I ordered but with green sauce and then had the gall to say that is what I ordered. She just stood there looking at me. My BF said he heard what I ordered and it wasn’t what she brought, but again, she stood her ground. Finally I said I was going to leave because I wasn’t given what I ordered and therefore won’t pay for it. She went back to the kitchen to get another one and brought a plate to take away the wrong one. I guess they will eat it?
The menu has incorrect info on it, my chalupa had no cheese (yes, I came with Kevin H.) and you have to ask for the dressing for the «salad» instead of it being given to you.

Yum! Tejas Grille is in a scary parking lot near the Lindenwold Train station, we ordered Elote and Guacamole to start, both were pretty awesome. I had a cantaloupe agua fresca which was super super sugary but pretty good, it might be nice mixed with alcohol, mint and lots of ice. I had two tacos, one steak and one chorizo, the tortillas were not my favorite but the tacos were fairly good.
The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was really nice and accommodating. I did not hear, or see a microwave being used in the cooking process. I would come back for sure, they accepted credit card and a big meal for two with tip was well under $ 30.

I decided to order take out and asked for no cheese. When I arrived my food was ready. However, when I asked to double check about the cheese, I got attitude back. I also noticed that there weren’t any beans with my order (beans normally are included with the entrée). So, they spooned some beans into a takeout container and microwaved them. What a microwave is doing in a kitchen where the food is supposed to be made fresh is beyond me.
When I got home, I noticed the dinner was not as flavorful as it normally is. To make things worse, the beans that I asked for were sour! I couldn’t believe they served me food that had gone bad.
It seems that their standards of service and of food quality control are slipping. I hope management sees this and does something to bring their business back where it used to be or better. I think it’s going to be quite a while before I give this place another try.

I so wanted to like this place for what it is, but based on my second visit, I probably will not return often. As others have mentioned, it is not a homely restaurant, but has a cafeteria like feel. The food, evidently microwaved, is not always of such redeeming quality either, and certainly not the best in the world. And when they invariably messed up our order, the waitress, embarrassed, insisted she writes down everything and couldn’t possibly make such a mistake. It’s okay if she misheard us, but she should have corrected the error right away instead of trying to put any blame back on us.
Two or three menu blunders made us wonder if someone else had written the menu, and why it was no longer being adhered to. For instance, the chalupa was served with no cheese, and the salad which is said to accompany entrees is merely a slice of tomato and a slice of lemon on a bed of shredded lettuce, not an actual salad by anyone else’s definition. The dressing, optional, is not refrigerated but merely left out in canisters on the counter for days, which I’m guessing is a health hazard.
An individual dish of guac can be had for $ 2 — even though the menu says side order of it costs $ 4. In this case, I was happy the menu wasn’t followed, because otherwise we would have thought we had been taken.

I dined here once awhile ago and came based on my brother’s recommendation — he loves this place. I’m a vegan now but was vegetarian at the time.
They bring out a plate of tortilla chips with cheese curds and refried beans when you are looking over the menu. I ate the chips that weren’t touched by the beans, since refried beans are traditionally cooked in animal lard. They were fresh. The salsa that was paired with this was spicy! But I am a wimp when it comes to spice, lol.
For an entrée, I got a item from the menu that consisted of mixed veggies upon a tortilla, that I cannot recall the name of. The menu isn’t very versatile for non meat eaters. When it came out, I notice there was a small piece of meat on the plate… really turned me off from eating my dish, being a veg.
There was a cool drink selection — sodas like Coke but from Mexico, so no high fructose corn syrup, instead it had real sugar which was cool. I got a glass bottle with the words «Sidral Mundet» on it. It was a pretty tasty apple soda. Not very apply/​tart, but very sweet. I also ordered horchata after realizing they served it — it was awesome!
I don’t really like the atmosphere of this place. I’m not one for super up-​scale places, but it is pretty… unappealing. There are simple tables and metal chairs, all pretty close together. I didn’t like it at all; it just seemed so run-​down. There was another large group of people there at the time who made a lot of noise who seemed to be very familiar with the staff. The service itself was pretty friendly.
The food was very inexpensive and authentic.
Overall, due to the meat contamination, I wouldn’t eat here again. If you’re a meat eater, I’d try it, but get take-​out because the interior is extremely lacking.

Been eating here for awhile, try the #44 chipotle sour cream chicken, it’s amazing. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to eat well at tejas and that I enjoy. Another plus is the free chips and salsa when you dine in. Just a few abandoned stores down from the Goodwill near the lindenwold train station.

Literally said this after taking my first bite «this place is fucking fabulous.»

I found this little Mexican joint in yet another strip mall. One of my favorite finds to date. The huevos _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​meal deals are pretty unbelievable and delicious. For 6 $ you get the huevos, the rice, beans, a stack of tortillas and some salad. Plus chips and salsa while you wait. Seriously the quantity of food is enough to feed a small family. The second time I went I had to politely decline the stack of tortillas.
The horchatas are okay, but then again I’ve been spoiled by good horchatas in my youth.
DISCLAIMER: I only go here for the huevos _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​, haven’t tried anything else.

So this place really is the definition of a hidden gem, mainly because you would have absolutely no idea it even existed unless you happened to glance over at the faded sign that lists the few remaining businesses in the old Bradlees shopping lot along the White Horse Pike.
Now this isn’t La Esperanza, but you really can’t compare the two, as they are completely different restaurants. What the Tejas Grill does have is delicious food in a casual atmosphere at cheap prices. What more can you really ask for?
My friends and I ordered the chorizo quesadillas to start which were absolutelyfreakingincredible and ended up being my favorite thing that I ate on my visit. Oh I also forgot to mention that they serve you complimentary tortilla chips covered in beans and cheese! So that is huge plus in my book.
I can scarcely remember what I ordered since I came here almost two months ago now, but I’m pretty sure it was a steak taco which proved to be good, but sorry to say not as good as the steak down at La Esperanza (I mean really what the hell do they do to the steak down there? It is just so unbelievably good!) Anyway my other friend ordered what we described as a mexican egg roll as it consisted of beans, cheese, and I’m pretty sure some kind of meat rolled up in fried dough, which was also very good.
We also noticed that some of the other people around us were ordering some kind of drink that looked like a vanilla milkshake. We asked our waitress what exactly it was, and although she never gave us its name, we did end up with a free sample and a list of what the ingredients were. This drink which consisted of rice, condensed milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon, (maybe even banana?), was also super delicious.
Finally, we noticed that they have breakfast. Chorizo and eggs anyone? I plan on it and will be back soon to indulge in just that.

This review is long overdue… The food that they serve here will be some of the best tasting, authentic Mexican food that you have had. The warm chips with cheese and beans served on top is not only tasty, but the fresh green and red salsas are very good and little on the hot side. You have to try the guacamole. Absolutely the best that I’ve ever had. The rice served has a unique flavor and texture that you more than likely never have experienced anywhere else. Everything from the soups, to enchiladas, tacos, and burritos are a tough choice to decide. They’re all extremely made well.
This would have been a 4 star review if it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve had a few times when I didn’t receive what I ordered. I received what they thought I ordered. But not what I ordered. The latest example of this happened when I simply asked for a «fried» pork tostada… The woman taking the order repeated the order a couple times. That should have tipped me off that i was about to have another mystery meal… A good meal. But who knows what will arrive at the table.
Well, out comes the woman with my tostada (s)… Yes, I know that I only ordered «a» tostada. This woman showed up with a plate of 5 pork tostadas instead of «a» fried pork tostada. I think that it was the Three Stooges or Laurel and Hardy who did the «Who’s on first» bit… Well, that’s what it turned into while explaining exactly what I asked for. The more I said fried, the more she said 5…
I’ll be back for another meal here but the last visit kinda soured me on how my time and money is spent there. It’s been a couple months, but I’ll eventually return for the guacamole.
(I think I said that right…)

Best mexican I’ve had in south jersey!!! I was shocked to find chilaquilas on the menu, I ordered them for lunch even though they’re really breakfast food. So good.
My husband had burritos and they were great too. We also ordered a tamale on the size (it was mole poblano) and I loved it.
They also said they would deliver to our house, so we’ll be making this place a regular dining spot.
This place is no frills so if you’re looking for atmosphere go elsewhere. However, the wait staff was lovely and attentive.

This little place seems like it would be a nasty hole in the wall if you went strictly on appearances of the shopping center it’s located in and that assumption would be dead wrong. It’s very colorful and welcoming when you walk in the door. There is also a little Mexican market attached to the restaurant.
Their menu is utterly authentic Mexican cuisine and very reasonably priced. I had the chicken enchiladas with mole poblano (there are three sauce choices). The mole was good, not great, but very tasty all the same. The chicken and rice were cooked to absolute perfection. The portions were of normal size.
What Sam wrote about the chips still holds true.
The salsas are fiery and delicious.
This is a little family place, not fine dining but I plan on becoming a frequent visitor so I can work my way through all the lovely dishes on the menu. They seem to also have a number of interesting soups and broths.
I have to mention… the floors were so clean I swear you could eat off of them.
I mean: CLEAN. I can’t actually recall ever being in a restaurant where I said to myself, «Whoa, now THAT is one hell of a polish!» That seemed to be true of the kitchen as well from what I could see.
My server was a sweet and very attentive young lady. Service was great and so were the prices.
