  • I went shopping at my favorite stores when I went for a stroll in the parking lot and dont recall a Mexican resturant kind of a traditional old fashioned which reminds me of San Antonio Texas Mi Terras. I do know all the spices are from El Paso and Juarez. I watched people talking meeting new friends and a very happy place the bartender is truly fast gifted and really knows how to make a real margaritas especially the Mango flavor. I had the beef Nachos delicious spices perfectly made so Mexican flare of Texas reason why it's called Texican Cafe. I do remember this resturant originated on Manchaca rd in the eighties. This will be a new hangout for me why??A really fun place to meet new friends everyone is happy and family gathering just pure love all around when I first entered the resturant I truly felt at home. I was told the Enchiladas are too die for so my next visit will be soon just to try this signature dish. So glad I walked out of my favorite store and found great nachos! Definitely highly recommend this location on 4141 Capital of tex highway. Parking so easy lots of parking. A must try Enjoy yelpers

  • "The chips and salsa come hot and ready! The sizzling entrees smell so good. They know everything about timing with food and when it’s ready to eat. Did I mention the dessert!? The flan is amazing."

  • "Best San Antonio enchiladas! They are so savory I crave them even in my sleep lol must try the carne guisada is so tender it almost melts in your mouth you will never be able to have enchiladas without it! They are Austin's best kept Tex-Mex secret."

  • "Outstanding!!! I highly recommend this place it's been a favorite of mine since the mid 90s. I no longer live in the Austin area, but I try to make time for Tehe Texican every time I'm back in town. I recently had the chicken quesadillas, and they were even better than I remembered. My family and I love this place."

  • "We will always be regulars at Texican Cafe - love their Tortilla soup and chimichangas the most. Their prices are decent and I adore their chips and fresh salsa and their establishments are clean. Don't forget dessert also!"

    Stephanie A

  • "We have made it a "tradition" of hitting them up on Taco Monday for the crazy cheap tacos as well as cheap appetizers during happy hour. Me, my wife and daughter can eat tacos and get an appetizer for the table for under $20. We like to sit on the patio and have had the same waiter the last 6-7 times. Service has been very good and he always recognizes us and members our order even after we haven't gone in awhile."

  • "Have eaten here many times before, but this was first time for chile relleno. I had mine stuffed with shredded chicken. Totally delicious and wonderful from the light batter, to the great sauce and generous filling."

  • "This is the second time we've been there and we would go back again. The service was good. The house salsa has a little kick, but not too much. Had the chimichanga with fajita chicken, which was delicious."

  • "Tacos were delish and service was perfecto!"

  • "I have been eating here for years! since I was a child. I grew up in Manchaca. They have many great things! The queso flameado is the first thing I would order. The rita's are strong and tasty! The salsa is fresh and cold and has amazing flavor w a bit of heat! We usually go for the fajitas of any kind. The kids get enchiladas and they love them. Enjoy!"

  • "Love the Texican, great food and great service consistently, always a good experience! I had the cabrito... it was perfect. Juicy and tender with an amazing seasoning, always love it. Washed it down with a Texican Martini, which is their take on the Mexican Margarita, probably the best I have had."
