My husband and I have been coming to this place for years. I recommend the chicken flautas or the shrimp or fish tacos. Beans are good. The chips are not my favorite, but they'll do, and the salsa is hot! Service is always on point, but it is very casual. The piña colada's and frozen margaritas are excellent - and strong. read more

No I do not. high prices for minimal service. Providers are polite, but not sure the info is accurate.

Service is exactly the same but it seems like they have stepped up the quality on the menu items. Enough that they are more on my list of go to places. I give 4 stars because of the effort. read more

Service was great. Very friendly. At the recommendation of the server, I ordered the Chile Verde pork, instead of the carnitas, which was my first choice. The Chile Verde was excellent, tender, and perfectly spiced with just a little bit of heat. The portion was huge and I needed help from our dinner companion to finish it. My wife split an order of beef fajitas with our companion and the single order was large enough to do that. The only thing I didn't care for was the queso, which was not very smooth and a bit chalky. read more

Girasoles - Lunch special; Beef enchilada with queso $8.92 total, evened up to $10 for tip - Mexican Near Me - Denison, Texas

This is the best mexican food in the area! The people remember you! The food is fair, and quick! Love you Girasoles.

Everyone always talks about how great this place is so it was finally time for me to give it a try. The chips were kind of terrible, but I saw a review that said their queso was good, so I ordered that and it helped immensely. The menu was large so there was lots of choose from. I couldn't decide, so I just went with nachos as a safe bet. They nachos were not anything special. Not super flavorful or anything like that. But maybe I should have ordered something different. The service was fine. There seemed to be a couple of regulars in there, they were too far away to see what they ordered. The food was just okay. Maybe I should give it another try. read more

Another great place. Super attentive and they have amazing food. Worth the drive! Amazing service!

Everything is delicious. Love the shrimp soup. And Nachos and Quesadillas Yummy SABROSA!! Menu has changed but still great read more

Great margaritas but really disappointing food. I ordered a small bowl of tortilla soup. What I got was a bowl of extremely hot water with some tiny bits of chopped tomatoes, about 3 slivers of tortilla and cilantro with about three tiny bits of avocado. No chicken no seasonings, and all this for $5.50. Thanks but I can make much better on my own. Will not be returning. read more

The food is amazing! I love the decoration, and the workers there are so nice! I would definitely recommend this place to families looking for a good place to eat! read more

Well, I think I've finally found a great Mexican food spot- which checks all the boxes. Good food. Friendly service. Cleanliness . I don't know why this was my first time, but it won't be my last. The food was great- especially the beans. Margaritas were A plus. Our service was spectacular! Shout out to the sweet, Angelica. Now, the smell of bleach is offensive to some people. BUT, When I smell bleach- I think you're disaffecting some stuff and I love that! I'll be back for more, definitely! read more

Great food and best margaritas in town. Definitely recommend! Great service and friendly staff. read more

Went for Taco Tuesday it was great we got the frozen margaritas great taste and good price $300, and queso was really good, we ordered beef crispy tacos great taste, and beef fajita street tacos great price and tasted great would definitely come back, read more

I've mentioned in other reviews that it's been difficult to find a good, solid Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurant, which seems very strange up here. We aren't THAT far from the Dallas area. However, Girasoles, even though the location seems a bit questionable in its cleanliness, really due to its age, is consistently good. I've been 3 times and have enjoyed the basics. Good chips, salsa, queso, enchiladas, etc. The particular strong aspect of Girasoles is the good service. The folks who work there are just nice and attentive. Unless better options for Mexican/Tex-Mex come about (which I don't anticipate), Girasoles will be in my regular rotation. read more

Caylin pretty much nailed the review. Unfortunately we never received the Queso so so much for that. Very slow service considering only a few people in the establishment. read more

It has been over 5 years since we ate here. I will say I was a little hesitant to try it again based on recent reviews. Surprisingly the food was great, no complaints. The only complaint I had was it was so hot in the restaurant. It is summertime in Texas, the last thing I want to do is go into a restaurant and sweat. Something needs to be done with the AC situation but other than that we will be back. read more

Love Love love This place! My wife and I moved here about a year ago and have had ample opportunity to sample the diverse local cuisine available in the Denison area. We have concluded without a shadow of doubt that this place offers the BEST FAJITAS in town; bar none! Don't even get Me started on the white Queso; it's ridiculously good. I think the secret ingredient is crack! Needless to say this is a must try place! I know it's a hole-in-the-wall type place, but they make up for it in some really great food! read more

Disappointing experience. Chicken tacos and tamales were flavorless. The fish tacos were good. Chalkboard said "Tuesday Special - $2.75 tacos." But was charged full price for the fish tacos. Guy said they were not included in "Special." This is a form of illegal 'bait and switch.' read more

Girasoles is our favorite local, authentic Mexican restaurant so we hired them to cater for my husbands retirement party this past weekend. EVERYTHING was beyond our expectations. The food was so delicious, the party attendees loved it and they made it so easy to set up once we picked it up. Please don't forget to tip your catering staff. We could not be any happier with the way our event worked! Thank you Aide! read more

Very well flavored with large portions! Good hot salsa with very good tortilla chips. We will be returning!

Best Mexican restaurant in north Texas. Try the carne asada plate. Amazing. Shrimp cocktail is a meal by itself. read more

I've dined here several times and have never had a less-than-stellar dish. Menu features typical Tex-Mex fare, freshly-made in-house that morning. The brisket tacos have just the right amount of kick and the hand-poured pineapple margaritas (on the rocks) are on point, as well. You've got a run for your money, Kent's! read more

Girasoles - Hand-poured Pineapple Margarita. - Mexican Near Me - Denison, Texas

See all

First time here to this hidden gem. A four star rating from me is a good rating as my wife says I'm a bit of a foodie. It looks like a restaurant from the 50's outside and was clean but nothing fancy inside. I had the Mary Tierra which is carne asada and shrimp. I got the shrimp prepared crema diabla style and the sauce was amazing: mildly spicy blended well with the crema. The beef was a little chewy but with good flavor. Salsa was pretty good with a definite kick! My wife got chicken fajitas and it was a lot of food, also well flavored and served steaming hot. She liked her margarita but nothing spectacular. Definitely recommended. Go check it out! read more

If the management is reading this, you have to know that you were recommended by a waitress at Fulbelli's in Sherman. That recommendation was spot on! My wife and I decided to try it first and kicked it off with a Margarita......POW!! Now that's a Margarita!!!!! The service was exceptional and the food was fantabulous. We kept harping about how good the food and drinks were so our friends asked us to go there with us. Same experience.....started it off with a Margarita (POW!!!!) and then I ordered some concoction with hot sauce in a bowl and its was laced with beef and chicken fajita meat with a skewer of shrimp across the bowl. I forget what it was called but YES....order it if you go. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Great service and great food. read more

Girasoles - Wing Wednesday..... Mango serrano... Amazing - Mexican Near Me - Denison, Texas

A lovely family style hometown restaurant! Great menu choices, exquisite cuisine.

Everything was delicious, clean and the best staff! Tamales are perfection, shrimp cocktail, carne asada, everything! The kindest people and family owned! read more

Food is awesome everything is good!! More that is hard for the waitress to to tell you what's better... so it depends what you like most!

The chicken tortilla soup will literally fix what ails ya. Anytime I don't feel well, this is my first stop and it always makes me feel so much better. It's super flavorful and packed with veggies, they even cut up avocado to put in there too. It's delish, I definitely recommend it! read more

The food was adequate as was the service. Decent place and would go back. Will check out other Tex Mex in the area first.

The food was really awesome I'm definitely coming back! Going to ask for another waitress next time though:) I had asked if they could take the onions off my enchiladas and she said absolutely, she comes back and tells me "In the 7 years I've worked here the kitchen has never gotten that mad at me, so yeah no, I'm not doing that again" it would have been ok if she would have said they just couldn't do it. But the food was amazing!! I'm not gonna let one crappy server ruin this review so 5 stars!!! read more

Love the food and the atmosphere. It's margaritas are wonderful and the food is even better. Try the green salsa! It's fabulous. The staff is amazing. It's definitely a go to for me. read more

What a great place for $1 tacos and $2 margaritas. While all the tacos are delicious, my wife and I strongly disagree on the very best. She loves the shredded beef and I prefer ground, while both of my sons stand by the "Chicken"! My recommendation for first timers is to get one of each. The margaritas are great, but please have a DD if you have more than one. read more

Restaurant was NOT busy at 3pm Saturday afternoon. Poor service, requested items were not delivered to table, yet waitress had time to discuss her personal life with other patrons. Asked another waitress to speak to manager ,and was told the manager was too busy as she was preparing to leave for the day. Won't be back read more

Going on 7 years as our favorite restaurant!! Amazing owners and staff!! Our kids never ask to go anywhere else. Extremely clean and ALWAYS fresh!! And now they have a vegetarian/vegan menu!! Margaritas are spot on and the tortilla soup with freshly cut up avocados is sooo perfect when your sick. read more

This is where we take family and friends when they come to visit! The food is amazing! When my husband took his parents there, they were informed that the salsa was fresh because "Grandma had just made it this morning." Doesn't get much more home-made than that! It's great food, and yes the margarita flavors are awesome! Be careful, though, one maybe two will do the trick! There are only a few desert options, but they are really good. This is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. I strongly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The staff is very friendly, and will help you with your meal selections. read more

Came here for lunch one day with a big group of people. I split the beef fajita plate with a friend and it came with a lot of food! The tortilla soup was warm and hardy - chunks of avocado, tomato, tortilla strips all swimming in a nice warm and spicy broth. The flour tortillas came nice and hot and the beef was well seasoned. We asked for more tortillas to share between the two of us and they kindly obliged. Their guacamole looked like it had been sitting out for a little while, but it tasted fresh. My only complaint was that it took a very long time for us to get our meal and we were late to get back to the office that day. Other than that, I enjoyed a nice meal here! read more

Just left did not eat our food it was so bad. Told the waitress she said sorry. Lol really told you this was our first time here and our last food very bad tortillas hard and crunchy couldn't find the steak in the fajitas. Kids couldn't eat their cheese enchiladas because they had beans mixed in them. It was slopped together. Overpriced very much read more

Awesome deals and authentic Mexican food. I love going here on Taco Tuesdays for lunch, try the queso also it's amazing!
