We’re really sad to hear about Mr.Bennett Glazer passing. He was a great leader in the liquor distribution world, and his influence went way beyond the industry, touching all the partnerships and friendships he built over the years.
We’re thinking of his family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who got to work with him. We’re thankful for everything he did to support businesses like ours and for the legacy he leaves behind.
With sincere condolences,
Tupinamba Cafe.

What people say
Tupinamba, located on North Central Expressway in Dallas, has received mixed reviews from a variety of sources. A review from The Dallas Morning News in January 2020 praised the restaurant for its "generous margaritas" and "stellar Tex-Mex classics," but noted that the service could be slow at times.
On the other hand, a Yelp review from August 2021 stated that while the food was good, the service was poor and unresponsive to customer needs. Another Yelp review from June 2021 criticized the restaurant's lack of vegetarian and gluten-free options.
A more recent review by CultureMap Dallas in October 2021 gave Tupinamba high marks for its extensive menu and vibrant atmosphere. However, they too noted some issues with service, citing slow table turnover times.
Overall, Tupinamba seems to offer classic Tex-Mex fare with a lively atmosphere. While some reviewers have experienced issues with service or dietary restrictions, others have thoroughly enjoyed their experience at this popular spot.
One customer comment on Google Reviews reads: "I've been here several times over the years - it's always been extremely busy and is popular with after-work crowds... The food is delicious (especially love their fajitas)!”
Another Google Review from a different customer says: "If you're looking for tasty Mexican food along with strong margaritas then this spot is for you."
