Authentic Tex-Mex breakfast tacos on house-made flour tortillas
"La Tejana, a Tex-Mex restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, is a go-to neighborhood staple for a quick and delicious breakfast. Plants hang from shelves overhead, coffee grinds sit next to jugs of horchata, and the staff banters from behind the counter with regulars, recommending orders and drinks like the Dirty Horchata. The restaurant serves nine taco options that they rightly recommend you order in batches of two or three. Each soft taco is made with some variation of eggs, queso, potatoes, or refried beans on flour tortillas made in-house. Expect a weekend line that forms early, but moves quickly." - omnia saed, mekita rivas, tess shiras, allison robicelli

You can take your order to-go, or hang around the standing counter mounted against a wall." - omnia saed, allison robicelli
"The Bib Gourmand-designated taco stand unveiled its first standalone location in Mt. Pleasant in 2022, bringing the upper Northwest neighborhood a true taste of the tiny taquerias its co-founder Ana-Maria Jaramillo frequented growing up in Texas. Toppings loop in local favorites like 2Fifty Texas BBQ’s chopped brisket." - Tierney Plumb
