El Tejavan Restaurant, LLC - Amarillo

This place was fantastic. We stopped here on the way to Colorado and again on the way back. Both times the experience and service was generally very good. The ambiance is cheerful. I did run into issues with utensils, plates and the table not being clean but with such a fast turnaround time that they provide it's not surprising. The fajitas look like caldo veggies. They're even cut for it. So if you're not expecting potatoes, maybe consider a different vegetarian option (of which there are a few delightful choices! . The tacos are phenomenal. They might be my go to when passing through Amarillo. The meat is tender and flavorful while not bring too salty and the salsa given adds the perfect balanced kick. And homemade refried beans and rice? Yes please!! The guisado de puerco is also tasty! I got it with salsa roja but verde is also available. It has a generous quantity and is very tasty with accompanying corn tortillas and lots of salsa. I did wish it had more flavors besides salt more heat, smoke, aroma from the peppers was not there. But it was warm and comforting and the salsa helped to add the boost I was looking for. Overall, very tasty Mexican food conveniently located off the highway. Avoid popular meal times if you want to avoid the crowd evidently the whole town knows where to get the best Mexican food :

Went there Monday eve about 8:00. Waited at bar 8-10 minutes and no service! First place we tried in town. Left for another place. Disappointed.

I love El Tejavan West. It is the very best Mexican food in Amarillo. The two different guacamole's are fantastic and fresh. The salsa is very good. Their marinated beef tacos are wonderful. Their rice is fluffy and not soggy. Everything is a real treat.

For my money time, the W I40 location has the Mexican food in town. The food is great, salsa is outstanding and all at a reasonable price. Staff is always tenable.

Good food good service! My friend and I went for breakfast, it was very good with a nice atmosphere! I'm not sure what their exact hours are because I was telling my boyfriend about it, it was not open on Saturday morning???
