The house margarita, our way. On the rocks or frozen, salt or no salt — however you take it.

Our Story
True Tex Mex runs in our family. It started over 100 years ago, when our great-grandfather started introducing Tex Mex to Dallas.
In 2017 we continued the tradition, bringing El Vecino to East Dallas — a neighborhood Mexican restaurant where you can share great food and drinks with your family and friends.
From our family to yours — gracias.
