    Asada burrito?

    They put nothing but mostly cilantro and onion on my burrito, stingy with the meat and nothing but rice. Burnt the hamburger buns.

    Menu page 1

    In sum: food is amazing, and it makes up for all the other shortcomings. Food: 5-star They have 3 salsas: red, green, and creamy green. They are all spicy, but the red and creamy red are perfect. The green salsa is less my flavor. I got tacos a la mano (made with single, thicker, handmade-style corn tortillas) with chorizo. They use purple onions and cilantro! The horchata is powdered. Service: 4-star Fast. They did their job for a carry out order, but there wasn't a particularly personal touch. Ambiance: 3-star A little barren inside, but the new paint job is much better than before. Parking is terrible.

    This was my first time going. I was excited because they sell birria but only on saturday and sunday. me and the cashier had a great conversation about his family and food. he also gave me a free pork taco which was amazing. i can't wait to go back saturday and try the birria.

    My first time ordering from here. The food was great and packaged well. Perfectly prepared and wasn't delivered cold. My lime slice was tightly wrapped in good quality foil paper. Everything was seasoned well. I look forward to my next order.

    First time here and last. So disappointed. Variety of tacos tastes old plain and dry mystery meat with two thick just nasty corn tortillas. The only thing edible was the bottled beverage.

    The ambiance was nice. The service was fast. The tacos were ok. Not too bad but not somewhere I would eat everyday.

    Via Real is an OG Las Colinas spot, family-run for years and it shows in both the food and the…read moreservice. The menu leans Mexican fusion, with standout seafood and steak options across the board. One of my personal favorites is their sea bass special with pineapple reduction. It's beautifully balanced sweet, savory, and rich without being heavy and comes with perfectly cooked charred vegetables on the side. The drinks are excellent, especially the margaritas, which definitely lean on the stronger side, fair warning that one drink can feel like two. Save room for dessert too; they offer a solid selection of cakes and sweets that are a great way to close out the meal. Service is attentive and warm, and they also have private group dining rooms available, making it a great option for corporate events or holiday parties. Valet parking is available, but there's also plenty of convenient parking right next to the restaurant. Overall, Via Real is a reliable, elevated dining experience that still feels welcoming and rooted in tradition, a Las Colinas classic for a reason.

My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Via Real has a dedicated parking lot and valet parking - this is a sign of an upscale restaurant. Inside, it's a beautiful restaurant (currently decorated for Christmas). There's a dedicated bar in the back, the tables are perfectly set, and the vibe exudes an upscale feel. 1 Star. Service - Upon entering, you're greeted with a smiling hostess to assist. Since I was here for an event, they walked me to the appropriate room. Via Real has dedicated rooms for events, and we had a dedicated staff member who made sure we had drinks in hand. All requests were taken care of. They were fast, accommodating, and professional. 1 Star. Food - Via Real specializes in Southwestern cuisine. It's not Mexican or Tex-Mex, but if you're fans of that cuisine, you'll find familiar flavors. My events had several items, but my favorite were the individual nachos. Instead of a shared platter, a single (large) tortilla chip is topped with chicken or beef and oven-melted cheese. It felt more like bite-sized appetizers than traditional nachos. At the bar, I enjoyed a decaf cappuccino and creamy caramel flan. You can eat at the bar, but there are also tables you can sit at. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Via Real is in my neighborhood and has been in Irving-Las Colinas as long as I can remember (mid 90's). If you are ever in the area, make sure you stop by. 1 Star.

Braised Beef Birria $23.00 Tender braised beef infused with flavorful ingredients, topped with cilantro, and onions. Served with our handmade tortillas for a satisfying meal! But I think the "chef" forgot the "infused with flavorful ingredients" cause it has ZERO flavor and the tortillas are NOT handmade... I'm Mexican so I know homemade/handmade tortillas! I also ordered guacamole, also ZERO flavor! And charro beans, also ZERO flavor! All the food is overpriced. I wish the owners would read these reviews and fix these issues immediately cause I've read multiple ones similar to mine as far back as a year ago. This place could be great if they fix the "chef" issue! The waiters need to improve their service too. This is a beautiful restaurant, ambiance, etc but you better fix these problems ASAP if you want to improve, unless you're too proud to make any changes.

I forgot to snap a picture but I'll list some things I tried: Empanadas- 10/10- a must order. Flavor, texture, and taste are all amazing. Molé enchiladas- the molé is so good- especially for Dallas since most places are Tex Mex and molé is more Mexican. Definitely order if this is in your "taste profile." Lunch specials- I don't even know if this is on their website but they have a great lunch menu and they have a lunch combo special where you can pick two items for $10.50 and it comes with rice and beans. I ordered the cheese enchilada and the mini chimichanga. Full disclosure I didn't eat the mini chimichanga because I didn't know it was covered in queso and I hate queso (unpopular opinion- I know). I loved the enchilada though and it had chili con carne sauce which was delicious. Rice and beans were also very good. Next time I'll just say no queso on the chimi. The restaurant is really tiny but cozy and you can tell it is family owned. Definitely will be a regular spot for me and will be back.

    On our way back from Asia, my husband and I had a stop through the DFW area and immediately decided…read morethat we needed to take advantage of being back near a region that really knows Mexican food. Living in Sioux Falls has many positives, but distinct and deeply flavorful Mexican cuisine is unfortunately still something that's a little harder to come by compared to places like Arizona or Texas. So, we made it a point to stop at Lupe Tortilla while passing through Irving. The first thing we noticed was how packed the restaurant was during lunch. People were pouring in steadily, and the atmosphere had that energetic local favorite feeling where you know people come because they genuinely enjoy the food. Thankfully, the meal itself delivered. Now, was it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it was still leagues beyond most of what we've experienced lately back home in South Dakota. The carne asada especially stood out. The portion was massive, tender, and packed with smoky, savory flavor. You could immediately tell it had actually spent some time on a grill instead of simply being rushed out of a kitchen. We also enjoyed the tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, all of which had that comforting Tex-Mex richness and seasoning that we've really missed. Unfortunately, we were on a fairly tight travel schedule and couldn't linger the way we would have liked. Honestly, this felt like the sort of place where you could easily sit awhile longer, enjoy another drink, sample more dishes, and just soak in the lively atmosphere. Still, even as a quick stop, it was a great experience and a delicious reminder of how much we miss the bold Mexican food culture of the Southwest.

I finished one taco, but for the second I only ate the lobster since I didn't want to waste it, especially considering the $30+ price point. My husband ordered the carne asada steak Lupe and said it was fine, though he's definitely had better. On a more positive note, the chili con queso was good, and the frozen strawberry margarita was both tasty and generously sized. Service was friendly, but we were given multiple chip refills without being asked, while the salsa and beans that come with them were never replenished, which felt a bit unbalanced. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and was on the louder side, which made it a little difficult at times to hear our server. My Apple Watch even gave me a loud-environment alert, so it might be something to keep in mind if you prefer a quieter dining experience.
