Serving size was extreamly small Asked for bread to come with out burrito bowl expecting it to be some kind of wrap bread that you would get on a normal burrito and we got this strange sweet desert bread Food was bland and extreamly basic

The food was absolutely delicious & fresh, all 5 of us really enjoyed our meals! We took one point off for a few minor service comments - there wasn’t enough cutlery & napkins in the tin on our table & had to ask for more, we also had to ask for plates & forks to eat our cake, also the young man serving looked bored & like he preferred to be elsewhere, however the manager/owner was very attentive & chatty. We’ll be back soon.

While the waiting staff were keen to serve, they were too fast. Entrees were served in less than 10 minutes from ordering, and shortly after that mains. Tortillas were cardboard-like. Overall it lacked flavour. While portion sizes were reasonable the food was not as pleasant. Maybe it was early days and they improve with experience!

Excellent service. We sat inside and the friendly waiters and waitress were very friendly and attentive. Food came out super fast which was great as we were hungry. We had no room for desert so will make sure I do next time.

Service was frustrating when we were seated outside. One meal was missing off our order, it was replaced by the incorrect meal but all good and the incorrect margarita was served to me but I was told to taste it by the waitress. I said yes it is a margarita but a tommy not a classic but then gave up and drank it. A few teething problems but all good as the food was delicious.

More healthy options on menu. Person who leads you to table actually tell you they are going outside, we had never been in that building before.

Atmosphere, food and drinks were great. Food came out promptly and was a really nice refreshing twist to traditional Mexican food we are used to eating There is also a great play area for children out the back.

Breath of fresh air for Engadine, we’ve been needing something like this for so long! Delicious, authentic Mexican food with great service. Fish tacos were mouthwatering. We’ll be back :)

Food was okay, but wouldn’t rave about it. Very very salty, even the dessert tasted of too much salt !!! I did not enjoy drinking water from a child’s plastic cup either. Table was sticky when we sat down, my arms stuck to it !!! Hope things improve

No fajitas and no cheese on tacos other than feta. Apparently that is traditional but it just feels like cutting corners. Very simple cheap food. Tacos were soft with lettuce sour cream and chicken. No capsicum or tomato or fresh ingredients that you would expect. A suggestion for kids would be a melted cheese wrap. Need cheese! Margaritas was watery too. Avacado dip was $12.

Booked 3 weeks ago and was still seated outside in the cold when there was tables inside. I questioned the waitress on this. Serving sizes quite small. We ordered desert to try fill the whole but still left hungry. Service was excellent. Very attentive and always making sure everything was ok. $5 corkage is a bit steep.

For a last minute booking during their first week I can't complain! Atmosphere was great, kids loved the outdoor area, service was friendly and drinks were nice and reasonably priced. Not the best Mexican food I've had but will give them another go in a few weeks or so.

New restaurant so still finding their rhythm, the staff were very attentive though making sure we weren't missing anything. The fish tacos were great, chicken burrito bowl could have used a little spicing up. Overall pretty good, and I'm confident they'll improve in the coming weeks as they settle in.

Guacamole was the highlight! Meals were quite small for the price but were nice. Pulled pork in meals were too tomatoey! Service was pretty good.

I realise this restaurant is new, BUT staff need to think where they are seating adults. This restaurant was packed, which is great for a new opening, but there were at least 25 children under two years of age in the back section, at one table. It was chaos. Extremely noisy and tables (too many tables) too close to each other. Staff were great and helpful by seating us inside the restaurant when we requested. Food is authentic Mexican, tasty and not overpriced. Nice décor as well. They will do well as this style of restaurant in Engadine is long overdue.

Seated adjacent to kids play area - very noisy. Also very cold (had to get a blanket and jackets from the car). Food was average at best. Had nachos - which were tasty enough but not a lot of topping and sour cream/guacamole added which meant most of meal was just plain corn chips. Sloppy joe was too spicy for my son with nothing else on it to calm the "heat". Enchiladas were bland without the sauce and too spicy with the sauce.

We went to Tejano on the opening night and although there were some minor teething problems, we found the experience fantastic. Great food, especially my Chilli Con Carne. It was different to most other so called Mexican restaurants, and for that reason, we will definitely be going back. Probably next week!

We had a great time dining at Tejano during its first week of operating. Though there were some operational hiccups - to be expected in a first week - the service was exceptionally warm, polite and apologetic for any errors. The atmosphere was great and the decor and setting is wonderful - it's a very inviting space and the variety of seating options is appreciated. Would love to see more bar-style seating towards the front and bigger tables seated closer to the kid's area. Drinks were fantastic - a great selection to accommodate all tastes. We were also impressed with the food - everything was tasty and well-priced. The menu has been done so well - it's great to have options for sharing or individual plates - we did a mix and match and got to try a variety of dishes. This is a great venue for families, couples, groups alike - we will definitely be back. Thanks for having us!

Our family enjoyed a tasty meal at Tejano for our son's 15th birthday. The dips were delicious as were the mains which were also generously sized. I would have preferred some rice with my Chile Con Carne, however, it was still a substantial meal. The fish and chips from the kids menu was just the right size. Would have dinner there again.

The food was good but the service was quite poor. We waited a lot longer than expected to order and receive food which wasn't ours before this was cleared up and we received our meals. Please be aware that this was on the restaurant's opening night. Once they iron out a few things, I'm sure going to the restaurant will be a far better experience.

Grear food and atmosphere. Side plates would help with sharing appetizers neatly. But otherwise a great restaurant, the service was good. . . . . .
