At Tupinamba Cafe, you are more than a patron. You are part of a story that began in 1910, when Papa Froylan Dominguez fled Mexico during the height of the Mexican Revolution with a handful of cherished family recipes. He and his wife, Consuelo, began serving those recipes with the opening of the first Tupinamba in 1947, where it is believed that the Nacho and Sour Cream Enchilada were introduced to Dallas. As the oldest family-owned Mexican Food Restaurant in the city, the Dominguez family proudly serves the same delicious recipes. We invite you to be part of a story that started as a family tradition and has turned into a Dallas legend.

Wasn't impressed at all. I got a number #5 chalupas were awful. Cold, shells not fresh. Also got a #10. Cold and stale. Guacamole was ok. The tupy taco was absolutely horrible!

The food is consistently good. Has gotten a little expensive, but what hasn't. Tupy tacos are great usually, but sometimes not so crispy..
