Enchiladas Verdes y Tacos de Asada
Maira H.

This place is so good. I ordered the green enchiladas and tried the asada tacos as well and it was pretty good. I haven't found good tacos in the area that I really love and these came in top. The staff were super friendly and the wait on food was pretty quick. Only downside is that it's a small place so if it's busy you might struggle to find a table. Either way it was pretty great.

Excellent food and great service. We came around 10am and they were serving breakfast and lunch. My husband had breakfast and I had lunch. The food was hot and delicious. Definitely recommend for some authentic Mexican food.

Sopes plate de carne asada. Meat was a little dry on the crispy dry but overall good flavor. Handmade sopes

Super delicious and authentic. The chips could be better but the salsa with them was very good. Good service and portions. Price in point. Melón water was not that great tasted watered down. Planning on goin back for the chile relleno for sure!

Tacos

Tried four tacos today: 1. Lengua - tasty, best taco of the four 2. Barbacoa - ok 3. Carnitas - ok, a bit bland 4. Al Pastor - skip, too mealy and not very good None of the tortillas (corn or flour) are made onsite. Second visit, and revised rating.

Pozole

New to Dallas, barber recommended I try this place out for authentic Mexican food. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! All of the servers were beyond kind. The menu is self explanatory, not overwhelming like some places. Couldn't choose so i ordered tacos and pozole. FLAVORFUL and the meat just melted in your mouth, the Corn tortillas are incomparable!!!! I've never wanted to eat corn tortillas more in my life. I will be bringing every visitor here to enjoy this Mexican food paradise.

I've had a lot of Mexican places all over Texas and this must be the most authentic Mexican restaurant I've ever been in, it was completely FANTASTIC!!! I had the Enchiladas Verdes $8.99 my wife had the taco plate $6.99 and they were both outstanding. I highly recommend trying this place out

AN OAK CLIFF GEM - eat here NOW!! This place had been on my radar for a while, but I normally do not find myself in Oak Cliff, and so it was always a place I wanted to go to - until today :) This is a steadily busy but not crushed place on the weekends, full of locals and families slurping big bowls of menudo and Mexican breakfasts. Your meal starts with a basket of fresh corn tortilla chips served with an amazing cooked salsa ranchera that is absolutely delicious! I had to restrain myself with the chips so I didn't fill up before my menudo arrived! So let's talk about that menudo - OMG it was awesome!! Tripe was tender and plentiful, cooked slowly in a delicious broth studded with hominy and spices. I added a squeeze of lime, onions, cilantro, and chopped fresh jalapeños to mine to make it just perfect!! There's a reason 8 out of the 10 tables that were occupied when I came here were eating it. I took the hint and thank God I did. I also like to try the lengua and carne al pastor tacos at new places as I have found that those are bellweathers. The lengua taco at El Pueblo are served as huge chunks of perfectly tender lengua in fresh corn tortillas - simple, unadorned, DELICIOUS. And the carne al pastor is similarly served: Large tender chunks of pork cooked in a savoury and sweet spice blend hit the spot and will be my new crave. 5 authentic stars

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5. Loved the decor near the restrooms and patio too.

I see that it has been more than 10 years since my last review so it is time for an update…read more We went here for a late lunch after attending an event at the American Airlines Center. There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.

For those interested my original review is below, it wasn't even scandalous. I will not bother responding to the owner anymore so don't event bother responding sir. Original review: I really wanted to love this place, and I was so close to doing so. The good: the ambiance was cute and fun. Loved the decorations, the bar is big and takes up a lot of the area where some of the tables are making it a little crowded but that's not a big deal. They had a performer there that night and that was cool. The item we were so excited to try was the biggest disappointment, the chicharon! It looked so good but it was so bland and chewy. We thought it might have been undercooked and ordered another second and asked them to cook it longer but alas it was like chewing on nothing. And that is the common denominator with all the food here. It was so bland. The only item I enjoyed was the jalapeño and cheese sausage. The salsa was bland. The meats were bland. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The drink in the bowl was good. But other than that the meal was a disappointment which is truly sad because we were looking forward to the meal, and it was pricey too. Had the food been good we wouldn't have been bothered by the price. We needed some flavor that day.

There are so many Mexican\Tex Mex restaurants in North Texas and Mexican Sugar continues to impress. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - I love the atmosphere at Mexican Sugar. The restaurant itself reminds me of Mexico inside and out, and the different types of seating (communal, patio, traditional, cool) will give you plenty of options. But in the evening, when Happy Hour begins Mexican Sugar will fill up with tons of patrons and good energy. 1 Star. Service - The service has always been good on my multiple visits. This is a Mexican restaurant, and the staff know the menu very well. If you're not sure how something is pronounced or tastes, just ask! 1 Star. Food - There's brunch on the weekends and traditional Mexican dishes (tacos, enchiladas). On my visit on a holiday, I went with brunch and the Barbacoa Chilaquiles. This is a traditional Mexican breakfast where tender barbacoa is layered on tortilla chips along with a sunny side up egg. The result is a fantastic combination of flavors, texture, and heat. Yes, it's a slow burn, and those of you who like spice will love it. I had to finish it off with a Mexican Flan as a perfect way to cool my mouth. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Honestly, I don't know why Mexican Sugar is not in my rotation of places in Irving. It hits every mark and I've never been disappointed. Yes. I'll be back. 1 Star.
