Ojeda's

With foodies pursuing he latest “interior”, coastal or Mayan influenced Mexican cuisine, sometimes you need an old school TexMex meal. Ojeda’s on Maple started in 1960 by Ben and Cecilia Ojeda. He was a cook in WW II and then worked as cook in restaurants across Dallas. Still family run. Nothing is too spicy hot. Salsa is a mild and a bit sweet but tasty. Chips are light and refilled promptly. Taco meat seasoned for the true flavors you expect. Tortilla soup is a light broth. It was decorated for Christmas.

We weren't sure what we wanted for dinner, but settled on Ojeda's , and we're glad we did! The food, service, and atmosphere was great here. Service was really fast, despite being super busy, and the food tasted very fresh and was cooked to perfection. Typically, when we go to a place for Mexican or Tex-Mex food, we leave feeling bloated or just overstuffed, but despite the hearty portions we ate here, including a lot of their delicious chips and salsa, we still left feeling satisfied and not overstuffed or bloated. I highly recommend this place to anyone. They also had several vegetarian options on their menu.

While visiting family in Dallas, she brought us here. The overall service was quick and our waiter was good. Didn’t have to wait long at all to get a table. Hubby ordered the Chicken fajita Chimichanga w/queso, but said the queso was to thick in layer and probably should have ordered the chili con carne sauce. I ordered the Beef Chili Relleno w/chili con carne sauce. It was ok, but the beef lacked flavor. I also ordered a Presidente Margarita on the rocks and it was very strong. Not sweet at all. I think I was to buzzed before I was halfway drinking it. Their chips and salsa were good. The overall ambiance is really nice, clean and festive.

Had a great lunch here today! Everything was fresh and the waitress, Angie, was so sweet and informative. She recommended dishes for us that did not fail! I do not eat meat and so I had the mushroom enchiladas with the sour cream sauce and boiled beans. They were fantastic! Along with the chips and guacamole; it was everything we expected and more! 3 meals, beef queso, and 2 rounds of guac; came out to $70 ~ totally worth it!

Came here for the first time for a work related lunch on a Wednesday around 11:15 AM. Our group had 10 people. They did not put the tables together, so we sat across two tables. It seems like this is a very popular place for work lunches. It was quite crowded, and there were many people in work uniforms with badges. They did have a separate salsa dish for each person, so I really liked that. The chips were on the slightly thicker side. Their salsa had a bit of a kick to it. The waitress didn’t remember who got what despite taking our orders in a counter clockwise order across the two tables. No one got anything special added to their order so everything was correct to order. The food was good. They were able to do a combination spinach, and mushroom quesadilla. The spinach was a tad overcooked, but the mushrooms were fine. There was plenty of cheese, topped onto the quesadilla, and a very healthy sized scoop of guacamole. Overall, I think they did a great job for a large group. The food wasn’t amazing, but I thought it was better than average. I would recommend this place for work meals, and I would go back here again on my own.

O. M. G. The swirls!! — and if you are a true Texan, you’ll know what I’m taking about! (Frozen margarita with sangria swirl + salt rim is the best!) Hands down, the best in Dallas! And the food, service and festive atmosphere are great too! Have dined here many times over the last 20+ years. It is a true, local, hole in the wall restaurant with authentic Tex-Mex dishes. Family-owned; friendly and long-time, dedicated staff who always make you feel at home. Great for casual lunch/dinners or special occasions or group dinners or even catering! Have shared many special occasion/large group dinners here with ease. Plus, our catering experience included delivery of favorite menu items in warming trays with chips and salsa, queso and quac, along with a frozen margarita machine and our favorite server, Jairo. :) the party was a hit thanks to #ojedas and Jairo! All meals are great! From guiso de res to fajitas to enchiladas and chalupas and tacos and more! Chips and salsa are some or the best ever. Perfect spice (too much for non-Texans!). Visited recently on a Thursday right before lunch crowd (video) and it was another great experience. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for excellent Tex-Mex food in Dallas.

I’m from out of town and joined two local friends for dinner. What a delight. The hosts were warm and friendly, the server was well trained, attentive, and courteous. Excellent salsa. Not too hot, and not bland. Food was hot, fresh, tasty, and in good portions. Restroom was very clean and fresh. Thank you. When I return to Dallas I’ll be back.
