About

El Tex Mex steps out onto the picturesque corner of 91 Rue du Centre Aere in the charming town of St‑Paul‑lès‑Dax. The restaurant offers a relaxed, Mexican‑style grill‑house experience with a menu anchored by smoky, charcoal‑charred entrees and a selection of fresh‑made tacos, guacamole, and crispy tortilla chips. A spacious outdoor terrace provides a panoramic view over the “lac de Christus,” making it an ideal spot for leisurely brunches in the summer or sunset drinks later in the evening. Inside, the décor blends rustic Mexican charm with contemporary French flair, and a lively bar serves a range of cocktails, craft beers, and classic Margaritas. With a menu that starts at €14.50 and a family‑friendly atmosphere, El Tex Mex attracts locals and visitors alike looking for quality meals at affordable prices. The dining room is designed to accommodate groups of all sizes, with a dedicated bar area that encourages socialising. The staff are noted for their hospitality and prompt service, while the open kitchen showcases the grill’s live‑fire‑cooking technique. Whether you’re enjoying a casual lunch or a celebratory dinner, the vibrant ambience and generous portions make El Tex Mex a standout destination in the region. Guests are encouraged to reserve a table in advance, especially during peak summer evenings and holiday weekends. Reservations can be made by phone or through the online system, ensuring a smooth experience for diners in the bustling casino‑city of Dax.
