" I’ve been to El Tejavan I several times and the quality remains consistently high. The flavors in their dishes genuinely transport you to Mexico. The only downside was I faced long wait times during busy hours, but the food never disappoints! I particularly love their combination plates because you get a variety of flavors. It’s a great value for the portions served! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tejavan I is a hidden gem! The authentic dishes took me back to my childhood. I loved their chilaquiles, which had just the right amount of heat. However, the service was a little disorganized when we first arrived, which was a bit disappointing. Still, I would recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at El Tejavan I. Though the ambiance was inviting and full of life, I found the service to be a bit slow during my visit. However, the food itself was fantastic!

" El Tejavan I is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Amarillo! Each time I visit, I'm greeted by friendly staff who genuinely care about your dining experience. Their guacamole is the best I've ever had, and the enchiladas are bursting with flavor. The only downside is that it can get busy during peak hours, but the food is well worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Tejavan I lately, and I truly admired the authentic flavors! The flavors of their barbacoa tacos brought back memories of family gatherings. The service was warm, but I felt like the wait to be seated took longer than expected. Overall, a lovely experience! " (*Curated Review*)
