food was excellent, staff is very friendly and the fresh squeezed juice margaritas are amazing!!! the best kept secret in denison. they also have good sized room in the back for more private gatherings. 16 max probably. family owned by locals too. ill be back really soon. read more

By far my favorite Mexican in Texoma. Probably because the style is in the Sonoran tradition and being from Southern Arizona, it reminds me of home! The appetizer cheese crisp with green Chile's is amazing, and their salsa is the best in town. The enchiladas are not the top item on the menu, but their shredded beef is always fresh and tasty! And their Michelada is super yummy! I'll always drive an extra ten minutes to go there, and I never leave feeling too heavy or greasy like you often do with Tex Mex fare. read more

I ate lunch here, I ordered the special, chili relleno. The plate came to me less than 5 minutes after ordering, The relleno was small, round and flat, like a thick pancake, breading was soft and rubbery, the taste and texture was as if it came in frozen and was re-heated in the microwave. The rice and beans were average. The waitress asked if would like red sauce or queso over the relleno, I said queso, they charged extra. The special was $4.99, plus the queso and tea turned out to be around $9.00 plus tip = $11 and some change. When I left I was still hungry. The waitstaff was very nice, the food wasn't. I won't go back. read more

My favorite special has shrimp, beef, chicken and Mexican chorizo comes with beans , rice and guacamole. One my favorite drinks are their Margaritas. read more

My parents rave about this little mexican restaurant so we decided to try it for lunch. To start with, their salsa is watery but pretty good! Has a good amount of heat to it! Which is what I like! ;) Both of my parent's plates were BIG portions! Dad got the chicken fajitas & my mom got a shredded beef taco with rice & beans. My parents both give their plates a 4/5 star rating. Lol. Made them answer me! Anyways, I'm a vegan so of course, I figured this would be a challenge. Our waitress was helpful and I even asked if the beans had lard in them. She asked the chef and they said they are made fresh in restaurant with NO animal fat. Thankful for that! Gave me a few more options. I ordered a small side of guacamole & it was actually a good amount! And for my entrée, I got the garden burrito and made sure to reiterate that I do not want any cheese! Food came out pretty quickly with not much of a wait and I got full off of HALF of my burrito! Gave one less star because they didn't have many more options with more veggies. Maybe they could add veggie/mushrooom fajitas! I'd definitely resturn for that! :) read more

Girasoles - Garden Burrito, veganized. - Mexican Near Me - Denison, Texas

First time here, but came away very happy. Salsa is a little watery, but nice taste and spicy? Carna asada and shrimp where both excellent. Definite change of pace from the standard Mexican food find around here...although I'm sure the Tex-Amex options are similar. Opt for the specials to get a different taste. read more

1st time visiting. Good food. Good drinks. Good times. Went during the recent cold snap, dining area was nice and warm. Waitress was VERY attentive. Had Pacifico beer, and good price on grapefruit margaritas. We will definitely go back. This place was recommended by the owner of Grayson Hill Winery, while we were there for the wine tasting. read more

We got the old standby, chicken fajitas and corn tortillas, which came with a generous amount of onions, bell peppers and guacamole (more than most Tex-Mex restaurants). Fajitas also come with choice of tortilla soup or salad. We chose the salad, which was mostly iceberg lettuce and shredded carrots, but was fresh and good. Their salsa is homemade and definitely has a kick. Staff was attentive. Overall experience good and I would return. read more

Great little neighborhood spot, and one of the best Tex-Mex spots in Grayson county. My husband would eat here every day. He LOVES the orange Margaritas, and in the summer, the Mojitos are refreshing. He always gets the queso blanco with chorizo. Carne asada salad is not bad, if I don't get that it is usually the chicken flautas. The family/owners are super nice. read more

The grilled chicken burrito with queso is delicious! I also suggest trying the fresh squeezed margaritas. The orange juice margarita was my favorite. The chips are fresh and super tasty. The place is either busy or slow. When it's slow, it can be weird because the waitstaff is sometimes overbearing. All in all, the is the Mexican food I crave. read more

I have eaten here 3-4 times and enjoyed it immensely each time. We had a large group of 10-12 people and they handled all the orders with ease. I especially enjoy the interesting flavors of Margaritas they have! I loved the "Grapefruit" flavored Margarita! The food was excellent, because it's a little more authentic than your standard "Tex-Mex" fare. I recommend it. read more

Fresh delicious family owned restaurant. Had the brisket beef taco and cheese enchilada with queso and extra onions. Our waitress said, "The brisket is sliced to perfection. No gristle will ever be found on a plate." She confessed they only had a small frig, so food was not frozen and purchased daily. The chips were crispy and tasty. The salsa had cilantro, with chunks of tomatoes, onions and jalapeño with just the right heat. The lunch specials run $4.99-5.99. Happy hour from 3-6pm. The dining room is non-smoking, however, smoking is permitted in the bar. Awesom homemade Tex-Mex. read more

Our favorite place. Best Carne Asada & Shrimp salad anywhere! So fresh with lots of raw veggies. Shrimp is always perfectly cooked and Carne Asada is tender and flavorful. The Texas Burrito is wonderfully delicious and feeds 3-4 or take leftovers for a couple of meals at home. read more

The tamales are very good. The salsa is watery and too heavy on the chili powder. The red sauce they put on the tamales is terrible - tastes like that old el paso canned sauce. Yuck. read more

Meh. We tried this about a year ago. My husband liked it a lot but the waitress (Hispanic teenage girl) didn't know what carnitas were when I asked. She had to go ask. I don't expect you to know the language just because it's your heritage but you should know the menu as a waitress. The food was just okay. I keep meaning to try it again but I'm not in a huge rush. Husband liked it though so..maybe worth a try. read more

Great food. Love taco Tuesday 2.50 tacos. Great service. They have great burritos. Best margaritas in Texhoma!!

Disappointing at best. In all fairness, we only shared an appetizer of beef nachos and of course had chips and salsa. The salsa tasted homemade, but a bit like tomato soup and the chips seemed to come from a bag rather than freshly fried. The nachos were simple, beens, ground beef, cheese and topped with guacamole and sour cream, sadly the meat was so wet and the cheese so greasy that our chips were disintegrated into mush. To much cheese, and not much flavor in the meat. Im glad we sampled before we actually ate a meal there, as we will not likely be back. read more

We have eaten at alot of Mexican food places, this place wasn't fancy but very tasty. We went on $2 taco Tuesday. I tried the carne asada and chicken fajita taco meat very tasty. The ground beef taco was a deep fried taco and it was good too. Chips could have been better. Very affordable. Worth another try. read more

Very disappointed. Flies everywhere. Even had a dead one in my margarita. Found it after drinking half (ewww). Asked for another and was charged for both! Food had no flavor. Everyone had different dishes and they all lacked seasoning. Won't be back! read more

Great salsa! Perfect amount of heat with cilantro, which is always a selling point for me. I had the shrimp, my husband had chicken fajitas, and our son ate a chimichanga. All three were delicious. The guacamole was freshly made; it was scrumptious! The atmosphere was good. It turned out to be a nice Saturday night meal. Will definitely make it a regular stop. read more

Favorite Mexican food place within 50 miles.. Always great food and excellent service. If you even mention something wasn't great, they comp your bill. Taco Tuesdays are the best... Everyone that's ever served us was great.. Only only problem is the Bloody Mary's are weak.. Overall great place.. read more

We really enjoy Girasoles. I'm fairly certain their chips are fried on premises. The salsa is a thin version but very fresh and bright. The pico de gallo is very good, utilizing both fresh and pickled jalapenos. They have pan fried tacos with ground beef, but the shredded beef or chicken is much better. We often get just tacos for lunch. Their cheese enchiladas are different from typical Tex-Mex. The "chili gravy" has cinnamon in it, lending a more Mex- Mex flavor. You will either love it or hate it. Tasty re-frieds and good rice. Decor isn't fancy by any means..... but who cares. A family run, very pleasing spot. read more

Service is good and food is good. Crawling distance from home if I have too many of their awesome margaritas.

Best place for GOOD Mexican food in this area. Prices are great and food is very well seasoned. I have eaten there many times and have never been disappointed in either the food or service.. read more

My family are long time regulars here and can definitely vouch for the freshness and authenticity of...really anything they make here. Would highly recommend. read more

I've been to the Girasoles once their salsa was gross the restaurant was packed during happy hour only place to sit was bar area it was dirty even after we seated ourself it took 15 mins to get waitress to come to table no one came and cleaned table when she brought our drinks I ask for her to clean table she said she would as she was going to check people out then laugh and talk with people at bar then disappeared we never could get anyone to take our order but wasn't impressed with never getting table cleaned finally we left money on the table for the drinks and left! The place is dated the booths have rips ceiling tiles are dirty parking is poor it's like a old looking Dairy Queen type place little bigger probably someone's diner back in 50s! Won't return! read more

My wife and I eat here 2 or 3 times a week, usually with friends. The food is above average, especially the Fajitas and Carnitas. The servers are all knowledgable and friendly. It is family owned and operated, with consistent food and service. They have specialty Margaritas with different flavors, try the Mango, you won't be disappointed! read more

Good experiences every time I have been here. I love the carne asada burrito with the green sauce smothered on top. Only down side with the family is it is not smoke free. read more

The only thing I liked here was the mango margarita. Everything else was not very good. The soup tasted like hot water with vegetables, and the meat was spicy yet underseasoned. read more

My husband and I eat here a couple times a week. They have great food and the servers are always so friendly. We love getting the chili verde dinner and the fajitas! Their margaritas are the best in town! Love the place. read more

Food is pretty good but the wait staff sucks didnt keep Glasses full waitress would run away every time I could catch her she was so destracted read more

Great food..my favorite in Denison. Queso is very good. We've tried something different each time. All really good.

This is great Mexican food, not Tex-Mex. Super made from scratch margaritas! Truly good salsa.

This place is so good! First, the waitress remembers what we drink. very impressive! The queso is as good as it gets! Everything on the menu is awesome! read more

Service was stuffy, California style bland yuppy Mexican food. I'd take taco bell all day.

So the Texas Burrito is an excellent choice if you like vegetables more than protein packed chicken and steak its nothing like their other options. They're the best choice in Denison for good Mexican food but the Texas Burrito NO GOOD read more
