    This is a true hidden gem in Las Colinas! If you're considering trying it out, you better go because this is a must. The dishes are true authentic Mexican cuisine. You can't go wrong with any of them. The staff is friendly and very polite. We went during the weekend for lunch Saturday and Sunday (yes, it was worth it!) and it wasn't crowded at all. It's spacious and not loud. We look forward to visiting Cielito again next time we are in Dallas.

    Cielito Mexican Flavors is a Mexican (not Tex Mex) restaurant that serves true Mexican dishes in the heart of Irving Las Colinas. This restaurant is a great place to visit if you're interested in having modern Mexican cuisine with a fantastic atmosphere and service. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - You'll find Cielito tucked into a corner in Irving-Las Colinas. This clean, beautiful restaurant features a full bar, private dining rooms, and plenty of tables. The best features are the floor to ceiling windows which allow plenty of natural light in while also letting you people watch. The restaurant was mostly full on my Wednesday evening visit and had plenty of energy. 1 Star. Service - Our server was very nice. She was attentive, checked in multiple times, and always kept our drinks full. I didn't ask about the menu, so I can't comment on what she would have recommended, but overall, the staff was always smiling and great overall. 1 Star. Food - Our server brought out a nice, warm bowl of tortilla chips and red salsa. The chips were crispy, lightly salted, and were a great start to my meal. I then went with the Queso Fundito. The Oaxaca cheese was served in a hot pan, and the cheese was super stringy. I'm talking NY Style pizza string cheese. I had to use my knife to cut the cheese and wrapped it around warm tortillas to make my own mini enchiladas. For my main dish, I went with Cheese Enchilada Roja. Smothered in Salsa Roja, but the red onions were a bit tart for me. My meal ended with a chocolate Tres Leches cake. The cake was moist, but the star was the chocolate leches bath the cake sat it, soaking up the flavors and creating a sweet bite. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Wow, I was amazed at the modern Mexican atmosphere and menu. I'm so happy Cielitos has opened in Irving-Las Colinas. Welcome to my restaurant rotation. 1 Star.

    I ordered the cheese fondue, the cheese was too thick to really enjoy it. Maybe if it was melted more it would have been better on the tortillas wraps. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and spacious. Service was okay the waitress could have been more attentive. We were missing one of our food ordered for 10 mins and had to get up and track down the waitress. The restaurant had a total of 10 people so it wasn't too busy.

    This spot is delicious! The space is tastefully decorated and has lots of lovely natural lighting. We had speedy and attentive service the whole way through. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait. We got the red salsa and frijoles enchiladas with cheese and chicken and they were AMAZING!! The charro beans and rice that came with them were really really good too. The old fashioned was delightful , even though we weren't really old fashioned type of ppl. Wonderful experience all around!! 12/10

    We stopped by during an off-hour around 3 PM with my two kids, and it turned out to be the perfect time to enjoy an amazing meal without the rush. We ordered the birria tacos with corn tortillas, and wow, they were absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The street corn came as three small corn cobs sprinkled with cheese and a tangy sauce such a fun twist on a classic. We also started with the guacamole, which was extra special thanks to the red onions and crispy pork rinds served alongside. My kids shared a chicken quesadilla, and it was the perfect portion for them simple, cheesy, and fresh. The service was wonderful: fast, attentive, and super accommodating with the kids. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which, as any parent knows, earns bonus points! The whole restaurant had a warm, welcoming vibe, relaxed but still stylish. We'll definitely be back, next time I'm trying the margaritas!

    Great chips and salsa and chile relleno! Recommending if you're in the area. Next time getting birria.

    The atmosphere has a nice modern vibe to it. The food and drinks are quality. Our server was good but he seemed a little pre occupied.

    On a Friday night, we expected this place to be busy, but it was so quiet, which was amazing! The inside of the restaurant is well organized, and I loved the greeter who helped us when we entered the restaurant. We were able to be helped rather quickly, and she explained the menu well. The menu is simple and not overwhelming. We were given chips and salsa, which were homemade as soon as we placed our order. The chips were really hard so I couldn't eat them and the salsa was okay. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with bean sauce. Chicken was bland so I had to add a lot of salsa for flavor. Beans and rice were really good though! The best part of our dinner was the chocolate tres leches cake which was soooo good! The server poured a chocolate sauce over it right before we ate it. YUM! Great place and good food!

The menu leans Mexican fusion, with standout seafood and steak options across the board. One of my personal favorites is their sea bass special with pineapple reduction. It's beautifully balanced sweet, savory, and rich without being heavy and comes with perfectly cooked charred vegetables on the side. The drinks are excellent, especially the margaritas, which definitely lean on the stronger side, fair warning that one drink can feel like two. Save room for dessert too; they offer a solid selection of cakes and sweets that are a great way to close out the meal. Service is attentive and warm, and they also have private group dining rooms available, making it a great option for corporate events or holiday parties. Valet parking is available, but there's also plenty of convenient parking right next to the restaurant. Overall, Via Real is a reliable, elevated dining experience that still feels welcoming and rooted in tradition, a Las Colinas classic for a reason.

My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Via Real has a dedicated parking lot and valet parking - this is a sign of an upscale restaurant. Inside, it's a beautiful restaurant (currently decorated for Christmas). There's a dedicated bar in the back, the tables are perfectly set, and the vibe exudes an upscale feel. 1 Star. Service - Upon entering, you're greeted with a smiling hostess to assist. Since I was here for an event, they walked me to the appropriate room. Via Real has dedicated rooms for events, and we had a dedicated staff member who made sure we had drinks in hand. All requests were taken care of. They were fast, accommodating, and professional. 1 Star. Food - Via Real specializes in Southwestern cuisine. It's not Mexican or Tex-Mex, but if you're fans of that cuisine, you'll find familiar flavors. My events had several items, but my favorite were the individual nachos. Instead of a shared platter, a single (large) tortilla chip is topped with chicken or beef and oven-melted cheese. It felt more like bite-sized appetizers than traditional nachos. At the bar, I enjoyed a decaf cappuccino and creamy caramel flan. You can eat at the bar, but there are also tables you can sit at. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Via Real is in my neighborhood and has been in Irving-Las Colinas as long as I can remember (mid 90's). If you are ever in the area, make sure you stop by. 1 Star.

Lol But I also want to support this small restaurant and brag about literally how delicious everything is. From the empanadas that are cheesy and meaty you could eat as a meal alone, to all the flavors of each sauce they offer is exceptional. The poblano sauce is so good, I'd like to get a job in the kitchen for the recipe. We also asked for a side of the mole sauce just to try, it was smoky, sweet, and the right amount of spices. The tacos remind me of the tacos I get in Mexico with the grilled pineapple and picked onions. The salsa offered with the chips is warm and I love that. Will definitely be a go to restaurant for me.

I forgot to snap a picture but I'll list some things I tried: Empanadas- 10/10- a must order. Flavor, texture, and taste are all amazing. Molé enchiladas- the molé is so good- especially for Dallas since most places are Tex Mex and molé is more Mexican. Definitely order if this is in your "taste profile." Lunch specials- I don't even know if this is on their website but they have a great lunch menu and they have a lunch combo special where you can pick two items for $10.50 and it comes with rice and beans. I ordered the cheese enchilada and the mini chimichanga. Full disclosure I didn't eat the mini chimichanga because I didn't know it was covered in queso and I hate queso (unpopular opinion- I know). I loved the enchilada though and it had chili con carne sauce which was delicious. Rice and beans were also very good. Next time I'll just say no queso on the chimi. The restaurant is really tiny but cozy and you can tell it is family owned. Definitely will be a regular spot for me and will be back.

    On our way back from Asia, my husband and I had a stop through the DFW area and immediately decided…read morethat we needed to take advantage of being back near a region that really knows Mexican food. Living in Sioux Falls has many positives, but distinct and deeply flavorful Mexican cuisine is unfortunately still something that's a little harder to come by compared to places like Arizona or Texas. So, we made it a point to stop at Lupe Tortilla while passing through Irving. The first thing we noticed was how packed the restaurant was during lunch. People were pouring in steadily, and the atmosphere had that energetic local favorite feeling where you know people come because they genuinely enjoy the food. Thankfully, the meal itself delivered. Now, was it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it was still leagues beyond most of what we've experienced lately back home in South Dakota. The carne asada especially stood out. The portion was massive, tender, and packed with smoky, savory flavor. You could immediately tell it had actually spent some time on a grill instead of simply being rushed out of a kitchen. We also enjoyed the tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, all of which had that comforting Tex-Mex richness and seasoning that we've really missed. Unfortunately, we were on a fairly tight travel schedule and couldn't linger the way we would have liked. Honestly, this felt like the sort of place where you could easily sit awhile longer, enjoy another drink, sample more dishes, and just soak in the lively atmosphere. Still, even as a quick stop, it was a great experience and a delicious reminder of how much we miss the bold Mexican food culture of the Southwest.

I finished one taco, but for the second I only ate the lobster since I didn't want to waste it, especially considering the $30+ price point. My husband ordered the carne asada steak Lupe and said it was fine, though he's definitely had better. On a more positive note, the chili con queso was good, and the frozen strawberry margarita was both tasty and generously sized. Service was friendly, but we were given multiple chip refills without being asked, while the salsa and beans that come with them were never replenished, which felt a bit unbalanced. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and was on the louder side, which made it a little difficult at times to hear our server. My Apple Watch even gave me a loud-environment alert, so it might be something to keep in mind if you prefer a quieter dining experience.

    (English down below)…read more Saliendo del aeropuerto DFW, busqué algún restaurante que tuviera sopa de mariscos; no sé de dónde vino el antojo. Entre varias opciones apareció El Viejón. Revisé el menú en línea y las reseñas, y manejé 13 minutos para encontrarme con una verdadera maravilla. Lo que me encantó: La atención fue excelente. Nos atendió Nidia, quien no solo es muy amable, sino también servicial y eficiente. Adolfo, el gerente, es un tipazo. Lo simple pero importante: Sus vasos de plástico, tan originales. La sencillez y el humor del menú. Los precios son justos para la cantidad que sirven. Lo que me dejó impresionado: La sopa de mariscos. Este tipo de sopas es sencillo: o la sabes hacer o no. Si no, termina siendo como la de Pappadeaux--para llorar. Esta sopa, en cambio, tiene mariscos abundantes (cangrejo, almeja, pulpo, pescado, camarón, calamar, etc.). El sabor es ligeramente dulce y cada nota se distingue con claridad. Muy recomendada. Una sola sopa es más que suficiente para una persona. Esto último lo aprendí demasiado tarde, después de haber pedido también el pulpo a la plancha, que terminé llevando para casa porque era demasiada comida. Mis únicas dos quejas: Las tostadas que ofrecen vienen con un pollo que parece atún, pero sabe a plástico. Mi perrito iba conmigo y ni siquiera él quiso comérselo, lo cual dice mucho. Algo raro ahí. La otra es la música: demasiado fuerte y del mismo género. Si el objetivo es honrar la cultura mexicana, hay muchísimos géneros entre los cuales escoger. Digo yo... no sé. Mejorar estos dos detalles llevaría la experiencia en El Viejón a otro nivel. ¡El Viejón, recomendadísimo! ------------------------------------- Leaving DFW airport, I found myself craving seafood soup--no idea where the craving came from. I searched for nearby options and El Viejón came up. I checked the online menu and reviews, then drove 13 minutes, only to discover a real gem. What I loved: The service was excellent. Nidia took care of us--she was not only kind, but also attentive and efficient. Adolfo, the manager, is a great guy. The simple but important things: Their plastic cups are surprisingly original. The menu is simple and humorous. Prices are fair for the generous portions they serve. What truly impressed me: The seafood soup. This kind of soup is simple: either you know how to make it, or you don't--and when you don't, it ends up like the one at Pappadeaux... something to cry about. This one, however, is loaded with seafood (crab, clams, octopus, fish, shrimp, squid, etc.). It has a subtle sweetness, and you can taste every distinct note. Highly recommended. One soup is more than enough for one person. I learned that lesson too late--after also ordering the grilled octopus. I had to get it to go because it was simply too much food. My only two complaints: The tostadas they serve come with chicken that looks like tuna but tastes like plastic. My dog was with me and wouldn't even eat it--which says a lot. Very strange. The other issue is the music: too loud and all from the same genre. If the goal is to honor Mexican culture, there are so many genres to choose from. Just saying--I don't know. Fixing these two things would take the experience at El Viejón to another level. El Viejón--highly recommended.

    A second, dine-in visit provided more reasons NOT to return than to return:…read more - Prices for most things are far too high when considering location and ambiance--I mean we're not talking "fine dining". - Margarita prices are very vague and I was passed a "tequila menu" to choose from. Confused, I chose one of the cheaper options only to find out after getting bill that my margarita was $18.95! Is this Via Real?!? If so, take some lessons from them on how to make a quality margarita since this one was not $18.95 material. - 3% service charge over posted prices for using a credit card. Didn't realize that on last visit. You do that, you're telling me you never want me to return. Food was good. Just not THAT good. I will say that the entree I received was large enough for 2, which would have made the $27.50 more reasonable. But if that's the intent, mention it on the menu. But I'm not sharing a nearly $25 margarita (after tax, tip and service charge).
