Don't waste your time eating here. The food is nothing to write home about, and when you do get it, you might get it all at once (we were only half way through our starters when the mains came out). This place can surely only rely on visitors to London who, like me, don't know any better. Avoid. more

Its not great, but its not horrid either. My friends like to eat here, so I ended up at the Texas Embassy a few times a year. Depending on the cook that time/day, the food is either pretty decent, or pretty horrid. The service is the same way. Its a complete roulette game on what you might get. The margaritas... more

The food is texmex I think was how it was described. The refried beans and rice were inedible. Only the friendly waitress from Cape Town, South Africa, was the one positive. The restaurant is situated just off Trafalgar Square so might catch all the tourists from the area, but there must be better eating places nearby. more

The food was terrible. Not worth half the price paid. The recommended vegetarian fajita consisted of a warmed up, unseasoned salad presented with tortillas (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots) which is unforgivable for £14. We were entertaining two American guests, who muttered occasionally 'this would NOT fly in Texas'. One of our party was unable to cut his chicken after attempting... more

Food is pretty awful... but it is, after all, a tourist trap. more

Wow, the food is awful!! Fajitas where inedible so we complained and they refused to take them off our bill. They were unseasoned strips of beef cooked well done. The cheese on the nachos was not melted. Chips and Salsa were good-maybe they were from New Jersey. Enchiladas were cold and tasteless. Overall a very bad dining experience, even for... more

I wish we had read these reviews before going here and wasting our money on Sunday. Having seen this place from the outside since it started up about 20 years ago I have often wondered about it. On Sunday we couldn't get in the Hard Rock and hoped this place would satisfy our itch for Tex-Mex. It didn't. The inside... more

This was our go-to place in London when we missed margaritas and Tex-Mex! Walking inside you'd never guess you were in England - there were Texas Licence plates everywhere, Shiner neon signs - it felt just like Texas! Not the best food, but good enough for homesick Americans! more
