La plupart des opérateurs positionnés sur le tex-mex sont des indépendants ou plutôt ils gèrent à la manière des indépendants. On ne note aucune duplication significative sur le territoire national. À la différence d'autres restaurants à thème qui admettent une déviation vers quelques «valeurs-refuges» (steaks grillés, frites, filets de poisson, etc.), le tex-mex s'oriente vers un seul objectif : le dépaysement, l'exotisme. Dans beaucoup de plats mexicains, on retrouve la combinaison chaud et froid. Une large place est faite soit au côté festif, soit au côté culturel, mais l'ambiance reste essentielle.  1, record 32, French, - Tex%2DMex
