" El Tejavan I didn't quite meet my expectations based on the rave reviews. I experienced a long wait time for my food, and when it arrived, it was good but not great. However, the service was friendly, and the atmospere was lively. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot next time I visit Amarillo. " (*Curated Review*)

" Looking for delicious Mexican food? El Tejavan I is the place! The enchiladas were mouthwatering, and the salsa was just the right level of spice. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The staff were friendly and accommodating, making it a great family dining atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I finally visited El Tejavan I and was not disappointed! The food is genuinely authentic Mexican cuisine, and the flavors remind me of family gatherings back home. I had the breakfast burrito, which was packed with flavor and generously stuffed. A small letdown was the coffee, which could use some improvement, but everything else made up for it. Highly recommend for anyone craving traditional Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at El Tejavan I! The flavors were top-notch, and each dish was beautifully presented. The only thing I wished for was a slightly larger selection of beverages, but that didn’t detract much from the experience. If you're in the area, it's a place you cannot miss! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tejavan I seems to be popular for a reason; the food is exceptional! I had the bacon-wrapped shrimp, and it was juicy and full of flavor. The atmosphere is festive and lively, truly cheeky Mexican feel. The staff was nice and quick with my order. I can't wait to come back with family! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
