The best Tex-Mex

The number of Tex-Mex restaurants in Texas is staggering. If you pay any of the Lone Star State’s largest cities a visit and are unfamiliar with the local Tex-Mex offerings, good luck, because the number of options is overwhelming. In addition to the boatloads of family-run restaurants, large chains dot the landscape, several of which began in Texas. Take On the Border, for example. Started in Dallas (at the intersection of Travis and Knox) in October 1982, On the Border boasts more than 160 locations. From Oregon to Maine, from Egypt to South Korea, On the Border has taken Tex-Mex around the globe.
