Review Ojeda's - Dallas

Chris P.
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.

Overall food was good. My only complaint is that I would have like the tortillas cooked a little more. Service was great and food was hot. The parking area was clean as well as our seating area. Prices are fair for area. Definitely would recommend.

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!

Delicious Mexican food and our server was great and fast. Highly recommend the chips and queso. It's an award-winning restaurant for a reason.

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.

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.

Very good food and excellent service, but it absolutely tore my stomach up!! I will say that the other members of my party did not have that issue, but the Stuffed pepper just did not get along with me!

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.

This little hole in the wall turned out to be the best! The food was delicious the beans mouth watering and the menu doesn't specify but for$8.00 you get a burrito with rice and beans and the portion was more than I expected. Great service!! Will be going back for more�

We came on a Sunday and it was pretty busy. Within 30 seconds of sitting, we were approached by a smiling server who asked if we needed any drinks and set a basket of fresh chips on our table. Wow! We ordered their margaritas which are colorful, unique, and delicious. I had the Fish Taco Dinner (Grilled Tilapia). The fish was perfectly done and everything was fresh and inviting. Service was perfect - we felt that our server checked in at regular intervals but never interrupted our conversation. All in all, this is a great little find and we’ll be back.

Family and I have visited many times but I have to say yesterday’s anniversary experience was the worst service ever. First, our server was late so I was confused of who our waitress was. We were being rushed the whole time. I understand they were busy but I had family there at different tables and we were all there the same amount of time but we were trying to be pushed out because a larger party behind us had more people coming. The waitress gave us our tickets before even asking if we wanted more drinks or anything else. She blamed on the owner and when I talked to owner she blamed it on overworked waitstaff. I also heard one of the hostess tell the guests behind us they were waiting for us to leave. Worst experience ever. Talking to the owner did nothing since we all felt like everyone was watching for us to leave. The waitress and host were caught rolling their eyes at us from different members of my family. I guess because the guest behind us frequented more they got better service. I’m not sure I’ll ever return but I’m sure that doesn’t bother anyone. Oh and also one waitress offered 2 drinks free but my mother got charged for them anyway. Just horrible!

It was fun celebrating with you all on your anniversary. However is was very unpleasant and irritating that the staff kept trying to push my party out the door. If your going to advertise to come “celebrate” with discounts on food and drinks it would be nice to be left alone and let us spend our money at your place of Business. My family was really looking forward to seeing Mariachis but was continually being disrespected by being told others were waiting at our table. There were plenty of other tables around us who weren’t being harassed by the rude waitress, who btw was late. Other than the poor customer service , food and drink were good.

This is my favorite restaurant. I’ve eaten so many different things off the menu. This day was the fajita tacos a la mexicana. Perfectly made with three corn tacos and rice and beans.
Marisela Blanco Rodríguez
The food was delicious and the service was fast. Great place to eat I will definitely go back to eat there again 👍

Love Ojedas can never go wrong from having breakfast just because to having a birthday dinner party. Everything is always delicious � Staff is always great with friendly smiles.
Xavier Morales
This is a real good restaurant to go to for great Mexican food. The staff is super friendly and give great customer service. They get really busy on the weekends and evenings so get there early or call and make a reservation.
Rebecca Northen
We had great service, excellent food ( I enjoyed chicken mole) and.... happy hour margaritas were tasty and definitely had a punch. Most house margs are bitter and weaker than expected in most restaurants we go to. Quit purchasing them. We would go again.
Ruth Rojas Delgado
Always a good time from the atmosphere to the food to your delicious margaritas. No other place like it.
Angie Carrillo Ledesma
First time ever eating here and it was AWESOME!! From the chips and hot sauce cold beer sangria swirl to the food!! When I’m in the Dallas area we will definitely be going to eat here!!
Gary Warren

Breena Hayes Pilkington
Delicious tortilla’s! Loved the chimichanga. Guacamole & Queso were amazing. Salsa was super hot but they have a milder version you can ask for. Also, my margarita was GREAT!
