    Yum, yum, and yum. Can't wait to come back. I ordered the huevos rancheros with eggs. The meal was awesome, the service was great and the meal was GREAT. Cool authentic Mexican atmosphere and meal.

    Food was absolutely amazing fast service clean place. I would definitely come here again. It was really good. It does get busy so be sure to get there early. I can't wait to come back again.

    Came in at around noon on a Sunday and it was BUSY!! That's when we knew the food would be good!! We put our order to go and it was ready in about 15 minutes. Wait was totally worth it, these burritos are the closest I've had to Juarez/Chihuahua/El Paso styled burritos. Very hearty tortilla with just the good stuff inside--no rice lettuce or tomatoes. The menudo also reminded me of El Paso/Chihuahua menudo as they serve it with toasted buttered bread!! Very yummy indeed. We also got a cucumber lime agua fresca that was more cucumber forward than lime forward and very refreshing. The staff were super friendly and efficient. We will definitely be making the drive here on a frequent basis!!

    This counter-service spot in a Richardson strip mall is serving up seriously delicious Juarez style eats! The staff is warm and friendly, the restaurant is spotless and bright, and the open kitchen gives you a front-row seat to all the fresh cooking happening. We ordered the red chile chicken enchiladas and were thrilled to find they use a true red chile sauce--not Tex-Mex brown chili gravy. The rice and beans were great as well. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and came out hot and fast! We also tried three gorditas: red chile pork, chicken mole, and discada. Every single one was yummy! The gorditas are flour rather than corn, and with numerous filling options they are worth trying. All of the salsas are delicious, as well! They also serve menudo, barbacoa, and discada on the weekend.

    Man what a gem. I would say, if you're a fan of Nuevo León you'll like this option too. What struck me was that the clientele is 90% Hispanic. The staff and numerous customers were obviously familiar with each other. The lovely ladies making each order fresh. Lastly, some good tasting food. I tried the chile relleno burrito and was not disappointed. Paired with an Asodo Gordita. Good salsas to compliment the meal. AND menudo bowls were streaming out from the kitchen. My next try.

    Customer service gets a five all the way at this place. The kind folks running this place are as nice as it gets and appreciate their customers. This is their new Richardson location after a landlord dispute caused them to decide to move. The ambiance is crisp and clean and open. Very comfortable. I ordered a quesadilla dinner. It was absolutely delicious!

    Chile relleno burrito

    Food was okay, but customer service sucked. It was our first time here, I drive an hour to come try this place obviously we were taking our time ordering because we were reading the menu and the cashier was rushing us. Restaurant was not even busy when we got there. I ordered a chile relleno burrito and the receipt said desebrada when I told the lady she told me I had to go to the cashier and paid the difference which I had the get in the line again there was like 10 ppl in front of me. I waited so long and the difference was a fucking dollar like just give me what I order it wasn't even my fault. Both male cashiers were rude asking if I got the desebrada burrito before me getting the chile relleno one. Ridículos I was not the only person that got wrong orders.

    The first time we went to La Sombra Cantina we thought we were going back to Pineda's. We were…read moresurprised at the change and hoped it was at least as good as Pineda's. 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.

A red salsa which was mild and has some nice acidity from the tomato. Then there was a creamy green salsa that had a nice spice. Then finally my personal favorite a great black bean dip. These paired well with the free chips. My partner ordered the queso birria, great flavor and a great consume. Then I had the poblano enchiladas which was the best dish of night! The poblano sauce was creamy cheesy and delicious. There was a nice spiced shredded chicken super tasty. Overall a fantastic restaurant with great service too !

The service is CRAZY good. And if you're lucky enough to find a spot at the bar, you're in for an even better drink/food journey. Favorites: the carne asade and seafood chile relleno (w/Serrano queso). If your dining mate will split these two dishes with you, you're going to have the perfect meal. All their drinks are good, but among my favorites are the Mezcalita and La Diabla. If you're unsure, you can share your liquor/cocktail preference and the bartenders will serve you something delicious. Also, if you like things spicy, they have a creamy green salsa that is . You just have to ask. I can't wait to try their new location (mostly because I want to see how some of my favorite bartenders are doing over there). Sueño deserves all the success because they truly care about your experience from start to finish. Which reminds me, get the churros if you save room.

It has gray interior, tables, and chairs. We ordered strawberry margaritas while waiting for 2 more people to join our party. The first margarita was not bad. It had decent strawberry flavor. After the 2 joined our party, it took quite a while to get the servers' attention to order more drinks and food. I ordered another strawberry margarita and the Fernando Tex-Mex platter. This margarita had so much strawberry mixer in it compared to the first one. It made it too sweet. The Fernando had plenty of food, and the beef enchilada was my favorite. The meat could have been seasoned more to give it more flavor.

When I came inside and waited a bit, I finally was able to pick up the order, but the drinks weren't ready. Waited some more for that, and then was able to get the food and go home. Once actually eating the food, we were all please with what we got. Food was still warm when we picked it up and it was delicious. Despite the waiting that was involved, I'd still go back:)

Unfortunately, since the ownership change, the experience just hasn't been the same. The customer service is still decent, and I genuinely enjoy their spicy Mexican martini -- that's honestly the main reason I still stop by. However, the food quality has noticeably declined. Over the past year, I've experienced stomach issues after eating here, which had never happened to me before under the previous ownership. I'm not sure if it's a change in ingredients, preparation methods, or sourcing, but something is clearly different. It's disappointing because this used to be a go-to spot. I truly hope the new management takes a closer look at the food quality and consistency. There's a strong history here, and it would be great to see it restored.
