Inside it is spacious and has some colorful and lively decor. Great for groups or solo at the bar. Service: 5/5 The hostess was friendly and immediately directed me to my friend's table. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive and accommodating in checking in on us and getting our orders going. Food: 5/5 We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas to share. The beef fajitas were flavorful just as I'd hoped but the chicken was a bit dry. With the order we each get our own plate of rice and beans and choice of tortillas. The flour tortillas were delicious, almost like home made, so much so that I took the leftovers tortillas home to enjoy with butter. The highlight for me was the Skinny Margarita with my customization of adding a shot of Amaretto. I've been disappointed at other places because they never taste fresh, or have an extremely tart flavor, but the bartender had it down to a science because when I tell you from my first sip it was like heaven! Fresh, not too sweet and I only had one and was tipsy, I wasn't the only one. My two friends got the same one and agreed it was delicious and they too were tipsy. And you get your money's worth. I don't live in this area, but for this margarita, I may have to visit again soon. I'm thirsty thinking about it as I'm writing this and likely still thinking about it while you're reading this. I didn't get as many photos as I usually do, apologies, but I did get the Skinny margarita. Overall it was a good time, with good food and good drinks.

On Saturday, June 28th, I ordered the large beef fajita nachos from Neca's. On Sunday, June 29th, I…read morebecame extremely sick after reheating the beef fajita nachos from Neca's --something that has never happened before. Between Saturday and Sunday, the only meal I had was Neca's nachos. I had to go to urgent care, where I was put on an IV and given medication to treat what was diagnosed as food poisoning. In addition to the above facts, my toddler ate a bit off my plate Saturday/Sunday and exhibited symptoms similar to mine. On Monday, June 30th at 9:04am, I called to share my experience with the staff. To be clear, my intention in calling was not to leave a negative review, but simply to bring the matter to the restaurant's attention - privately. Unfortunately, the owner, Albert, was defensive throughout the call. He said things like, "I don't doubt that happened, but we've never had a complaint," and dismissed my experience rather than showing concern. I explained I wasn't calling to leave a bad review but to make them aware. But alas, here we are. If you're looking for a place with good food and quality customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere. But if you're fine risking your health and dealing with defensive owners, Neca's may be the place for you.

This food also does not taste good reheated, so for being such a big plate it is inevitable that it be taken home.

The tv by us played 4 year old ads but the interior was clean (besides the sticky menus). I got 'The Hangover' which was a decent sized bowl or menudo along with 2 street tacos. In my opinion the menudo was good but the street tacos were underwhelming. I would order the menudo again but I would definitely think twice about the tacos. We also ordered the huevos rancheros with 2 additional eggs. The chorizo potatoes were flavorful and eggs/beans/fruit were cooked well and very fresh.

Especially Mexican restaurants that have family spins mixed into their recipes. So not the #4 with a puffy shell. My wife and I split the Taco's Tinga with a side of the exquisite street corn. The tacos were excellent. The chicken had been slow cooked for hours as it was ever tender. The street corn, which is off the cob, was outstanding. Certainly a shareable. The mezcal margaritas had a nice smokey smell and taste - just like mezcal should. Another had the beef torta. It was huge. Meat was very tender. It was a great meal. Will be back.

We wanted to try this place because it had birria tacos and wasn't too far from our house. The…read morebirria tacos were decent, though they had very spicy pickled onions in them and it took away from the flavor in my opinion. We also tried their empanadas, which were just ok. Drinks were kind of watered down, though, and we were surprised to find out that the sodas are not free refills! Kind of weird and soured our experience, especially since we found this out after we got the bill. Overall, the place is just ok. There are a lot of other tex mex restaurants around that are a better value for the money. I think they were expensive because they're close to Seven Lakes High School and know people will just pay for the convenience.

The beans had a great flavor and texture and I loved the little touch of chorizo on top of the refried beans. The barbacoa was not overly greasy and the plate was served with homemade tortillas. The food was delicious and the coffee was on point. Loved the friendly atmosphere. Can wait to try their dinner options. I will definitely go back! Delicious Mexican cuisine!

My husband was also impressed by the attention to detail throughout the restaurant--even the restroom was stocked with everything you could think of, from toothpicks to mouthwash, which was especially appreciated after enjoying all the delicious corn and black beans! It's rare to find a restaurant that combines amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful hospitality so well. We left already talking about our next visit, and we can't wait to come back and try their margaritas. Highly recommend!
