I stopped in for takeout during COVID 19. They offer indoor, outdoor and takeout service. Inside is clean and the employees are friendly and quick. I got a black bean and cheese burrito and some chips and salsa. The chips were quite good and the salsas were a good variety. I enjoyed the hottest the most. The burrito was tasty and filling. Certainly would come here again. read more

I really was happy to find this place, it doesn't look very fancy and looks can be deceiving, but it's a great little local spot with exceptional tacos. I absolutely love this place and plan to be back often when I'm in Dallas. The Mexican Style Taco (Carne Asada ) was all meats and freshly cooked, my mouth could not stop drooling. lol If you want reasonable cheap food to go near DFW, that will fill you up, and a local Mexican style that's not exactly authentic, but Flame broiled style; this is the spot for you. read more

FYI you're not supporting an authentic Mexican or Latino owned restaurant. The name is also deceiving. I bought two tacos and elote. Tacos are a little expensive, carne asada tacos was at least flavorful, and al pastor was not pastor??? Corn was WAY TOO CREAMY more creamy than southern style cream corn. Anyway, my total was over $9 and if I wanted to spend that much I should've just gone to Torchy's or support an authentic owned taco shop nearby. Wanted to try out but unfortunately was not the best experience. Owner was nice but this might be a place for those who don't care about ownership, authentic flavor, and price. I can tell some of the good reviews are from friends read more

Absolutely positively do not waste your money on this place. They try to give off some idea of crazy different tacos. But you're better off sticking with the traditional tacos. The sign looks cool outside but as soon as you go inside, it looks like they are broke. The service is very silent. Not excited to see you. And overpriced for tacos. I will not be back. read more

We were visiting Irving from out of state and decided to give this taco shop a try. This place was really good. I was apprehensive reading some of the reviews but I was desperate to find authentic Mexican food (as I am Mexican) and NOT Tex-mex. the staff was very friendly and bilingual. The food was fresh and good. I ordered carne asada Gorditas and sopes. Each were delicious and the tortillas were homemade and had great texture..not too hard and not too soft. The salsas were also pretty good. Overall this place satisfied my craving for authentic-what you get in a Mexican household-type of meal. I wish I remembered to take a photo of the food I ordered but I didn't! I will definitely come back and try more things! read more

This spot is a waste of money honestly. We tried to be quick and local because we normally drive 30plus minutes to get tacos. We got two combos, one Chicken & one Pastor. Neither are seasoned and very dry for both. No drink was offered with the combo. Really a terrible purchase. Something similar to cafeteria tacos in a jail or school setting. Please do better. I would've went to burger King at the least if i would've known. All sauce were on the side. read more

Let me start saying a California burrito does not come with rice and beans!! So I told them no rice and beans - got me burrito and no pico but it did have lettuce!! Who the hell puts lettuce on a burrito!! So they gave me another burrito! This time it was correct but the burrito was falling apart! It was way to greasy!! Tacos and burritos are greasy but dam this was the greasiest burrito I have seen in my life!! Let's just say I couldn't finish my burrito because it fell apart from the grease! I'm gonna have heart burn for one whole month !! My wife got a carne asada burrito with no rice and beans! She got the burrito with rice and beans! Same thing super greasy she didn't like it!

I'll start this off by saying I'm from Los Angeles where the "Mexican food" is more authentic than Tex-Mex, obviously. While reading the reviews before I tried this place, I saw someone mistook L.A. to mean Los Angeles where it really stands for Los Amigos. I ordered a Steak Supreme Burrito with a side of chips and guacamole. The restaurant was clean and there was no line. The lady working the register was very polite, informed me of a surcharge on the steak due to the meat shortage caused by Covid. I appreciate that she was up front about it, and went ahead with the order anyways. I probably waited 10 minutes or less for my food to be prepared. The burrito reminded me of one I would get back in LA. The steak was tender and they didnt skimp on the fillings. The chips were homemade and fresh, which was great. The guacamole was different. It was creamier than guac I've had in the past, but the flavor was great all the same. I also got two sides of hot salsa for my burrito. For those than enjoy spice, it was about a 6.5 on a scale of 10. Good burn but not unpleasant. I've found my new go-to burrito place! Thanks for the great food, L.A. Tacos! read more

[ 2 ] - Food Taste [ 2 ] - Wait Time [ 5 ] - Friendly Staff [ 5 ] - Location [ 3 ] - Fair Pricing Man, I really wanted to love this place. I really did, but sadly it did not make my money's worth in my opinion. If you are going to sell Carne Asada Tacos from L.A. Least add the Guac on the tacos.. That is what a Cali Asada Taco really is, and it's just mandatory. This was a big turn off when I opened my tacos and the Asada tacos did not have Guacamole. The meat was a bit over seasoned with salt, though tasted better than the Pastor Tacos. Moving on to the Pastor tacos, are these meant to be Pastor/Birria style tacos?? because these had no flavor of the marinade of a traditional pastor taco, the texture was way off. The texture was that of Birria (which the meat is more shredded) Traditional Pastor is whole sliced cut pieces that you slice from the Trompo, or slice from the meat. Sometimes can be cubed( TexMex) You can never go wrong when ordering " A Pastor Taco", but this did not have no " Pastor" to it. If you like your Trompo style tacos, you prob will not like this taco. The Elote en Vaso has big chunks of Elote ( Corn ) put into a cup with a lot of sourcream some cheese and perhaps Mayo? Was not a big fan, was more on the bland side.. Not sure how that even happens... I'd say it was decent. The title of the establishment does not live up the name, sorry very disappointed. The previous place that was here (Taco H) had some Bomb Tacos de California, everything I had there was good. It is not the same as some people claim because I do not see myself going back here again. I always like giving places several tries, but after trying out several items that are disappointing, you are left not wanting to come back. I hope they find more creativity in sorting their food with the title of their business, and make them stand out for those people who miss Cali food, making this a " Go-to" spot for Cali comfort food. Guacamole tasted pretty good! That did come in the Asada Torta ( why not in the tacos?) The service was good friendly cashier at the front. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Hot sauces were pretty good too. The pricing, was average for this typical kind of food - though I felt it was not worth that pricing for the taste. It did take about 15 minutes to get the food out, it was not that busy as I saw, usually tacos don't take long to prepare, but I don't mind waiting for food that good taste and quality. read more

We visited on National Margarita Day so they had some drink specials. We sat on the outdoor patio, not realizing that none of the patio heaters had fuel tanks. Service was okay but we did have to go inside a couple of times to ask for stuff since nobody else was outside (pretty empty inside too). Please bring back your tacos!

The entree came with lemongrass rice, oregano-pickled red onions, & spicy sour orange sauce.

I received this location as a recommendation from ChatGPT. I was a bit skeptical since Ai can be…read moretoo optimistic or just wrong. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. The inside reminds me of most of the Tex-Mex themed restaurants in Dallas. The FESTIVE colors, chairs & booth seating, bar photos on the wall. Service to the table was nothing exceptional. After scanning the menu, I ordered the trio fajita which is steak, chicken, and shrimp. I wanted to be able to pick my meat combo. I really just wanted the Chicken and Shrimp. Luckily, the Mister was able to eat the beef. They came sizzling! The Chicken was tender and the marinade was not over-powering. The shrimp was cooked but very fishy. I squeezed fresh lemon on it and it pulled out the intended flavor. I was not particularly awed with garnishments. I wanted shredded lettuce and maybe my choice of beans black or pinto. Nonetheless, the overall plate was good and I RECOMMEND for anyone looking for a high protein meal. The chips and dip came out first with both salsa and a bean dip. LOVED the bean dip as a counter to the spicy salsa. They did not have queso blanco but I know this is mostly a lower Mexico to central-America staple.

My new favorite Tex Mex restaurant. Love the fajitas…read more It was my wife's and my first time here. Kayla gave us fantastic service. Ample seating with festive birthday. The manager also came and gave us free beef fajita samples since he found out it was our first time. The flavor and juiciness of the beef blew me away. My wife and I got queso to compliment the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa and bean dips. I was a big fan of the beans too, didn't think I would be. We ended up getting a trio (beef, chicken, shrimp) fajita 1/2 pound and it was perfect for the 2 of us. You can taste the grilled and charred flavor on the meats. The chicken and shrimp were slightly on the drier side but when combined with the sour cream, beans, guac, cheese, they were perfection. For the two people, the limitation ended up being more the toppings to the fajitas but it was just enough. At about $25 for 2, that was a steal. The queso was about $9. Right before we were about to leave, Kayla recommended the tres leches dessert and you know we had to try it. It was solid. Loved the cream on top. Definitely would come back again!

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.
