The first episode for me was a little weak. It was still finding its footing and judging by the reviews, most people agree with me on that. I almost gave up on it but something in me decided to try one more episode. And then another. And before I knew it I watched the whole first season.
First of all, it's very staged, I wish they would do without the fake dramatics. They're not necessary, the amount of restoration they do to these cars is worth watching in and of itself. Like others have said, I wish they showed a little more about the automotive side, however they do show more than some shows have.
I like the characters. The first episode they were definitely still figuring things out but you can tell the bond deepened as the show went on and everyone got more comfortable on camera, so it was a better product the farther along it got. I'd imagine a season two taking into consideration all the good feedback on here could be a ton better.

This show could use a little more time showing the automotive work but I do like the time spent on the hunt and purchase side. Most of these builds could be stretched out into two episodes each instead of cramming it all into one episode per build. Scooter and Rabbit are a bit energetic and enthusiastic but they grow on you quickly and are actually entertaining. Overall they have a good crew. Everyone seems likable even Rabbit and Scooter. It's like a spin-off of Car Masters Rust to Riches (Gotham Garage). If you like Car Masters or Rust valley Restorers you will probably enjoy watching Tex Mex Motors. I've already started watching it a second time.
Most of the stuff you see on screen is not authentic, mosf ot the cars they say they buy in Juarez are not actually bought from the people on screen nor they are in Juarez when they are filming.
The whole "being pulled over" by the "Federales" is super staged and scripted, the agents aren't even Mexican and Federales do not use those models of trucks nor they take your papers and come back... they will either take them and not come back or something else will happen but trust me they will not be chicano spanglish speaking agents... not authentic.. at all.
Like I mentioned before, the locations are not Juarez, Mexico other than a few shots on the street or the actual bridge. This could have been a great show but they just scripted it all the way ...

And nowhere near enough of the mechanical renovation and bodywork detail. It's a complete rehash of Fast n' Loud which went off the rails for exactly the same reason with the big loud mouthed front man. Unsurprisingly, Mike ( the paint guy ) is in this as well. The "Rabbit" dude is one seriously annoying individual and you can see why the morons lap up his nonsense on YouTube. All the "padding" in the show detracts from what is is supposed to be about, car restoration ! Made it through three episodes until I expired through boredom. Which is a shame, because there are some good car people in this, who are completely overshadowed by the talking heads.
Driving into Juarez, Mexico to find cheap classics and bringing them back to the US to polish up and sell is what it's all about. It's fun to watch, the characters grow on you. Rabbit (whose voice sounds like king Zog from disenchantment) is the slick buyer/salesman who could probably sell Henry Ford a car, and Scooter his giddy, keen sidekick with connections to sellers in Juarez. They make for a entertaining buddy roadtrip duo. Some other comments are saying it's fake, that they film the Mexican segments in rural New Mexico are right and wrong. It looks like the cars are actually bought in Juarez then brought back, but some extra "pickup shots' that the production decided to add later are filmed in rural US. I guess it just makes practical sense that if you decide to have a drone shot of them driving away from the purchase, but you didn't think to get that shot at the time, that you'd just find a similar looking location in Texas or New Mexico. It's reality TV, but yeah.. it's still TV. They do seem to push the resto work through fairly quickly, sometimes taking less than an episode on a car, or having two projects in the works. Also, they don't really go into minute details of the resto, usually just focusing on one or two problems and how they fix them. But still, it's easy watching, interesting and some light-hearted humor thrown in.
