POLICIES &DISCLAIMERSFOOD ALLERGY & INTOLERANCE POLICYThe following information is designed to assist guests with food allergies. Whilst we are aware that many of our valued guests have varying degrees of food intolerances and allergies they deal with on a daily basis so please do not hesitate to consult us, if possible always in advance, with regards to any special dietary needs & we will do our best, where possible, to accommodate you. Unfortunately we deny any responsibility in these cases since although we do our utmost we cannot give a 100% guarantee in such situations seeing that all food is prepared in the same kitchen, hence the risk of cross contamination always exists.
PREPARATION STATEMENTWhilst we may have individual products or ingredients that do not contain a specific allergen, we do not have the ability to: Segregate those products during normal kitchen processes. As a result, such products could come into contact with an ingredient that might otherwise cause an allergic reaction • During preparation, we do not use separate fryers, grills, ovens & all kitchen equipment for cooking. Because of this, there is the potential for allergen / gluten crossover with any of our cooked items • Most of our fried items are fried and sauced in the same containers • Vegetable / Sesame / Animal shortening is used to fry products • We grill many items that contain allergens, and cross contact with other allergens may occur during the cooking process.
PLEASE NOTEBecause of our reliance on suppliers for accurate information, the shared cooking and preparation areas in our kitchen, and the above-mentioned kitchen procedures involved in cooking, we cannot eliminate the risk of cross contamination or guarantee that any item is free of any allergen, hence most common allergens could be present in each menu item. If you have questions about this information, please ask to speak to a Restaurant Manager. If you have any questions about food allergies, intolerances or sensitivities, we recommend that you contact your specialist.
SMOKING & PETSPlease note Tex Mex® is a non smoking venue except in the terrace when the canopy is retracted, in which case smoking is permitted. Tex Mex® is a pet free zone so please do not be offended if our staff refuse entry to pets.
WAITING TIMESKindly note at Tex Mex® we aim for quality and although we do our best to be as efficient as possible, this sometimes means that it takes time to serve your meal, especially at peak business times. So kindly be patient – we prepare your meal from fresh and need adequate cooking time! The same may apply for cocktails, especially during happy hours. Keeping within our ‘fresh is best’ policy some items may be unavailable on the day. Our menu is vast so kindly do not request multiple variations or half half options as they slow down the kitchen and chances are they’ll be confused. We are sure that out of such a varied menu one dish must exist that is totally to your liking!! Sorry we don’t serve half portions.
RESERVATIONS / SEATINGKindly note that the restaurant areas within the establishments are intended for diners only!! Although everyone is welcome at Tex Mex® regardless if it is for a meal, drink or light snack, these areas are strictly ‘dining only’ especially during peak business times. Anyone occupying a seat in these areas is kindly expected to place a dining order. (See charges, sharing & tips) Likewise, in the case of drinks/snacks only, due to high demand, we do not entertain bookings on our patio tables & sofa booths at peak times. These tables are utilised on a first come first served basis although a booking against deposit may be effected online. Food though may be ordered in all areas of the establishment. Otherwise, contact us with regards to one of our advantageous packages.
POLICIES &DISCLAIMERS
KIDSAlthough we love children just as much as you, due to the atmosphere of the venue we tend to attract a more mature crowd, hence you are requested to keep them seated and as well behaved as possible so as not to spoil other patron’s enjoyment whilst later at night we would appreciate if they were happily tucked in at home.
MUSICAt Tex Mex® we play the ideal soundtrack depending on the atmosphere, from smooth chilled out lounge to chart grooves to get the party started. Our roster of international and local DJ’s mix Latin, Rnb, House and chart toppers and our live musicians create that unique fun vibe that our restaurant is renowned for! While dining the music levels in the restaurant area are kept to a minimum, but the party vibe escalates as the night goes on!
CHARGES, SHARING & TIPSAt Tex Mex® we do not charge any service or cover charges except in the case of sharing. In that case the management reserves the right at its discretion, especially at peak business times, to charge €5.00 for every extra person sharing one choice (applicable only to the designated dining areas, see above). Charge does not apply on appetizers followed by a main course. Tips, although not obligatory at Tex Mex®, are greatly appreciated by our staff. Drinks on non dining tables, especially in the bar & patio areas, will be charged at source and bills will only be opened for dining patrons.
Sorry but Honesty is the Best Policy!! Feel free to call us for further info: 2131 8943 / 2133 9247.
THANK YOU. THE MANAGEMENT.

FOOD ALLERGY OR DIETARY CONDITIONS
Although we have made every effort, it is impossible to list each and every ingredient and impossible to guarantee against cross contamination due to the shared cooking nature of our kitchen.
In acute cases kindly advise us in advance whilst always referring to our policy with regards this subject.
Unfortunately we cannot cater to each and every individual’s dietary fads, so we would appreciate if you were to choose a dish that you are confident is to your liking in it’s entirety.
Likewise, multiple variation requests could be misunderstood or forgot and slow down the kitchen to the detriment of fellow
patrons, so please avoid them.
Thanks for understanding. The Management.
