After leaving the community center in Grapevine, TX, I had a craving for some Mexican food. I had…read moreheard several people talking about Mi Dia From Scratch, so I decided it was finally time to see what all the buzz was about. I arrived during the lunch rush, and both the parking lot and the restaurant were packed. Even though they were extremely busy, we were immediately greeted by a courteous and polite young man who quickly escorted us to a booth. We were seated in Ms. Maria's section, and she was a wonderful server. She greeted us with a warm smile, brought us menus along with the lunch menu, chips and salsa, and promptly served our water. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and was friendly, attentive, and very courteous throughout our meal. The chips and salsa were very good. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa without cilantro for those who prefer it. We ordered the Create Your Own Combo Plate, which included a chicken flauta, a crispy taco, rice, and refried beans topped with cheese for $15.50. The taco was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, while the chicken flauta was covered in a flavorful red chile sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The rice and refried beans were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal well. We also ordered the chimichanga, smothered in cheese sauce and served with rice and refried beans, for $16.00. It was well seasoned, delicious, and satisfying. The flavors weren't overpowering--they were balanced and enjoyable, making it a dish I would gladly order again. This was my first visit to Mi Dia From Scratch, and I came away very impressed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant also offers a nice outdoor seating area. Between the excellent service and flavorful food, I will definitely be back. I hope you'll give it a try too!

We apologized for barging in and started to leave. The manager (I'm guessing) told us to stay and served us breakfast anyway. It was just us, eating our favorite breakfast, while dreading a rough week ahead. I don't think they know how much we needed that. I can't recommend this place enough.

For our entrees we ordered the fish tacos and the ground beef enchiladas. Our entrees came out pretty quick which was nice. The dishes were pretty big. The meat inside the enchiladas were good, the sauce was great, and the beans and rice were very good as well. The fish tacos were cooked perfect and the fish was flaky and had good flavor to them.

Additionally, refills were slow, and the fajitas came out in multiple steps, first the meat, then a little while later, the accompaniments and then a few minutes later, the tortillas.

We went here for lunch after staying at the Gaylord Texan Resort and opting not to have lunch at…read moretheir Mexican restaurant. Mesa's is just a few minutes drive from Gaylord so it is super convenient. The ambience is pleasant and open and in general it was fine. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seats and parking outside. I did not get a "homey" feel but that may be just me. Our server was attentive and efficient. No problems or complaints. The free chips and salsa were good but not outstanding. The salsa was warm and obviously homemade, but it lacked kick. It was tasty but not "OMG this is good." I started with a cup of Roberto's queso which is the standard queso cheese with some ground beef, pico, and a tablespoon of guacamole. It too was good but not outstanding. I am not sure what it was missing but there was something that was needed. I had the two beef tacos and they were just average. Not much flavor or anything distinctive. The ground beef was not well seasoned so they were kind of bland. The rice and black beans were also kind of bland. Frankly, my tacos at home are better. The wife had the taco salad and liked it, although it did not come with any dressing. She used the salsa. Not sure if that was an oversight or that is the way the salad is served. She was also happy that they serve Negro Modelo on tap, so she was happy. The kid had nachos with black beans and cheese and did not complain. Overall, the meal was fine, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out as a compelling reason to return.

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.

For our main dishes, we had The Grilled Baja Fresh Tacos and Guiso Mexicano. Both were excellent. The ambiance is very casual with a beach vibe to it. There is also plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.

Since there's a Tex Mex restaurant on pretty much every street corner here, it's not an easy feat…read moreto stand out from the crowd. Yet, for the longest time, Baja Mex Grill did just that by serving the strongest margaritas in town. In fact, I had always heard that there was a limit of 2 per person. Although it may have only been a rumor, it was a good policy nonetheless (I speak from experience!) Even if margaritas weren't your thing, the food still held it's own. Basically, you couldn't go wrong with a visit here no matter your preferences. I don't know exactly when or how many times the ownership changed over the years, but apart from the name, nothing about this place is the same today. It was immediately evident upon being served chips and queso that both seemed like they came straight from a package. The extra hot salsa we requested turned out to be a creamy, green concoction that had a jalapeno-y flavor, but somehow still wasn't spicy. I will give them credit, however, for a very tasty regular salsa that appeared to be made in house. For my entree I ordered the Picante Enchiladas. Contrary to what the name implies there was no detectable heat. Furthermore, the grilled chicken on top had the distinct flavor of a frozen version made by Kroger. Once again, that prepackaged element reared it's ugly head. My husband and sons were mostly underwhelmed by their meals as well. The phrase "I've had better" was echoed around the table. And, they aren't normally a picky bunch! Our server brought everything out quickly, checked on us often, and kept our drinks topped up throughout our meal. So kudos to him! I have said this before, but it bears repeating. The Tex Mex arena is far too competitive for mediocre food like they serve here. It's a shame that a place I once considered to be 4-5 star establishment barely earns 3 stars now.

Used to be great. Now? Save your money and possibly your stomach…read more I genuinely don't know what happened to La Hacienda Ranch over the last year, but the decline has been impressive -- and not in a good way. We used to really enjoy coming here. After our most recent visit, I'm not sure we'll be back. The experience started going downhill literally at the front door. We told the hostess we had a party of four, and she seated four people with two menus. Apparently we were expected to read in pairs. Then we waited...and waited...for our server to finally appear. This was a Wednesday night. The restaurant was somewhat busy when we arrived, but it cleared out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, our service speed did not improve with it. Our waitress had a fascinating ability to identify everything she was forgetting without actually correcting any of it. "Oh, I should bring you more chips." No chips. "I should bring you another water." No water. We needed additional silverware. That became another waiting game. At one point, it felt like we were participating in some sort of restaurant-themed escape room where the goal was to figure out how to acquire menus, water, chips, silverware, and eventually food. And then there was the food. We waited approximately 45 minutes, only for it to arrive cold and incredibly mediocre compared with what La Hacienda Ranch used to serve. One chicken dish came out cold enough that I was genuinely concerned it may not have been fully cooked. The salad dressing deserves its own honorable mention. What arrived looked so bizarre that I initially mistook it for a bowl of refried beans. It appeared to be balsamic dressing that hadn't been properly mixed -- separated, lumpy, and completely unappetizing. Nothing says "enjoy your salad" quite like wondering why your dressing has the structural integrity of bean dip. By this point, the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, so I'm not sure what exactly was happening behind the scenes. After the cold food, missing drinks, missing chips, missing silverware, forgotten requests, and approximately three business days spent at the table, we were finally asked if we wanted dessert. Ma'am, we wanted to leave. This wasn't one small service mistake or an unusually busy night. The entire experience was bad from beginning to end. The food quality has noticeably declined, the service was painfully slow and inattentive, and the experience was nowhere close to what we've had here in years past. I'll be contacting management because this location used to be genuinely good, which makes the decline even more disappointing. If we decide we want La Hacienda Ranch again, we'll make the drive to Frisco. Based on this experience, this location isn't worth the time, money, or the potential upset stomach.
