    Impossible Tacos
    Daniel J.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVED that they had a legit vegan option on their menu with the impossible beef tacos!! Maybe not the best tacos I've had. The rice and beans also lacked seasoning. So probably a four star meal BUT they get an extra star for even having the option. The service was good and our servers were very friendly. The space itself is also nice. They have a really great happy hour too. Great classic margs.

    I usually go to a different Blue Goose location, but this time we decided to try another one and wow, what a difference. This spot feels more modern and updated, yet still keeps the same delicious food quality and warm service that Blue Goose is known for. Our server, Carrie, was absolutely exceptional. She was attentive without hovering, lighthearted and funny, and genuinely engaged with all of us, including my daughter, which always earns bonus points in my book. She made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. We went on a Sunday night, later in the evening, and I was surprised at how relaxed the atmosphere was. It wasn't busy at all, service was quick, and every dish hit the mark. The Tacos Dorados (chicken flautas) were amazing, the birria tacos were packed with flavor, and the queso dip is definitely a must-order. We left saying the same thing: we'd gladly make the extra drive to come back to this location over the one closest to us. That alone says a lot. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back!

    Same link that put me on waiting list has different happy hour pricing. Instead of the manager "Brittney" looking into and resolving with customer service chose to ignore and dismiss with her own eyes the issue with the website.

    We each ordered the "Pick 3" meals. They each came with generous rice and charro beans. All this for $12 each.

    First of all...I can't say enough about our server, Jameson! His positive energy was contagious! We had just been to Baylor Medical down the street and he was just what the doctor ordered! Neither of us had been to a Blue Goose in over 10 years. And a lot has happened in the past 10 years so we were cautiously optimistic when we got there but we left feeling like all expectations had been exceeded! The food was wonderful. The salsa was just as good as I remembered. This is the first restaurant we have been to since Covid that was still generous with the protein! So we asked to speak to the manager. Brittani came to our table and we raved about the entire experience. We told her she did a great job hiring Jameson. And the people in the booth next to us, started to leave, they interrupted our discussion because they heard us mention Jameson and said they also wanted to tell Brittani what an outstanding job he did. We all agreed that we would ask for him when we came back. Look at the pics of the food. That was a LOT of food for $12!!! I got a beef taco, beef enchilada, and a guacamole tostado. It was very generous portions. My husband got the same but had a cheese enchilada vs the taco. They came with rice and the most incredible charro beans. It's hard to find a deal like that these day. Run. Don't walk. To Blue Goose in Plano and ask to sit in Jameson's section!

    Cricket

    07/23/26 - My wife and I frequent here quite a bit, but it will be a long time before we come back - but not because of what happened, but for the service. Halfway through our meal I take a sip of my margarita and I had to spit out a dead cricket out of my mouth. I'm 1) a nice person and 2) a former service industry worker so I didn't make a huge fuss about it and let the server know and she got her manager. The manager came by and comped our current food and drinks. This was our "one night out" so I'm not letting a cricket get in the way and going home early. Typically I will have 3-4 margs while I sit there and the cricket was in my second one so I didn't let that deter me. At the end we ask the server if we owe anything to be courteous and let her know we're leaving and she brings us a bill with the drinks we had after the incident. I am appalled the manager did not check on us once afterwards and we had to pay for our drinks afterwards - it was $5 margarita night, it's not like we were having $15 margs. It's not the money, it's the service you provide to your customers, especially the frequent ones. I wouldn't have minded one drink so I could tip the server (she got $20 on the $75 tab), but come on, do better. We will not be back for a long time and we're not happy about that being the case. I gave two stars because we still enjoy the place, but managements service needs to do better.

    We came for national margarita day. Service was slow. They were offering 9$ top shelf margaritas which we ordered. I received a a small drink in a plastic cup. Once I took the ice out of the drink, I had half a cup left and it tasted like minute maid. Wouldn't return.

    We recently visited the Blue Goose for the second time, while staying with family in Carrollton. I will say that the quality of the meal was higher the first time (6-months ago). But overall, we enjoyed the drinks (margaritas), chips and salsa (salsa is too hot for some, but I really like it) and most of us enjoyed our entree. A mistake was made on mine and the food wasn't as hot as it could be. We had a friendly young man waiting on us and he had a great sense of humor. The restaurant was not super busy at 5ish on a Friday night, but was pretty full when we left. It has a lively atmosphere and can be pretty loud when it's full. Our family really likes the Blue Goose, so I am sure we will be back.

The restaurant is run super efficiently, but it is also very popular. This was our first time here, so it was surprising that it took longer to get our table than it did to get drinks, order, and get food. The salsa is excellent. Not mushy cooked salsa, it is thin with pieces of onion, cilantro, etc.... We loved the flavor, but there's definitely plenty of onion. Husband ordered a frozen margarita which he said was "limey and lush" with the perfect amount of salt. On our Deluxe Carne Asada and Carnitas plates, the meat was the star of the show. Beans, tortillas, rice, guac, cheese enchilada, and pico were all good, but the pork and beef were excellent. The marinade used on the carnitas left bright citrus hues. The asada was tender. The sopapilla was the most buttery tasting sopapilla I've ever had. The custom tables and chairs reflect the pride taken in having a nice space. The mural on the dining room wall is a lovely, bright focal point.

We finally got a table after about a 25 minute wait. We ordered the pork carnitas. The meat came in sizable chunks. Some pieces had a little fat, but most were pretty lean. They were all very tender and crispy on the outside. We also ordered a street taco dinner plate, which came with three tacos with proteins of our choice. We decided to go for a combination of beef, chicken, and pork. They were all delicious, but we liked the pork the most. It was moist and tender. We concluded the meal with some puffy sopaipillas. They were really good too! Our waiter was friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. We enjoyed both the food and the service, and the lively vibe as well. We'll definitely come back. But next time we'll try to get there a little earlier to avoid the long wait.

We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

I had written down the order details of what everyone wanted so as to not make a mistake. When ordering, the service person kept repeating back something different from what I was saying. There was a line forming and I couldn't make him take the order faster. When ordering large amounts of food I price out the approx total plus sales tax of that city. The person at the register said that I owed $15 more than the figure I had approximated. When I asked for them to clear the order and put it in again, they became quite nasty about having to do it again. After another employee came and cleared out the order, and it was reentered into the register it had dropped down to being $4 over my estimate. I went ahead and paid just to get my food and go. They said that they were out of receipt paper for the register so I didn't get one. The place was packed so I stood off to the side and waited. And waited. The tables were constantly filled with trash left on them and scattered across the floor. A person would come out from back and remove the trash from the tables, but then wipe them with a dirty looking towel. The floor was never addressed. After 35 minutes I inquired about my order. They said that since it was a big order it was taking time to fill. I went back to waiting. Several Hispanic families that ordered after I had placed my order had gotten their food and were either finishing up or had already left. Must of their food was the same as what I had ordered. After two more inquiries about my order, it was finally delivered after waiting for over an hour. Although I am not totally fluent in Spanish, I know enough when people are talking about me and not in a favorable way. Got home after everyone else had arrived and began sorting out the individual orders. Out of 6 orders, 5 were either wrong or were missing an item. I don't know which was worse, the food being cold, the items swimming in grease (which had congealed), or the burnt and/or gristle rich tortillas and meats. I thought that this place would be great after several people who go there regularly had recommended it, but this was a waste of money and a disaster of food quality. Never again.
