Absolutely loved this place. I have been wanting to stop by for sometime now and finally got a chance to try it! Everything is so good here. Love their chips and salsa! We ordered a few meals to go and they got everything right! The taco plate with rice and beans was a hit. Got steak with the onions and cilantro on the side. They wrapped it up really nice in foil and had a good amount on it. Did not skip out on the meat. They taco where full of meat, thank goodness! I loved every bite and did it on flour. The quesadillas and enchiladas are also good! It's a great price point. I see people stopping by in the morning, I am wondering if they serve breakfast how it taste! I for sure am coming back! The way they packed up everything, I can tell their customer service is always on point. read more

Best homemade Mexican food, have been coming here for over a decade. Plato Combinado (Combination Plate) is the best, it's what I always get. Delicious and homemade flavor unlike a lot of "Mexican" restaurants around DFW. read more

Yesterday, I went to Magdaleno's Restaurant on Shady Grove in south Irving. I've passed this place at least a handful of times over the years and have never given it a second look because of its old building and signage. I won't make that mistake again! FYI, parking is sparce in front, but plentiful behind the building. It's small inside with dark walls, lots of TV's, and a cool modern industrial look... not at all what I was expecting. There are around 10-12 tables and you sit wherever you like. They had a nice mix of clientele, many of which seemed like regulars, all of whom were in a great mood and happy to be there. It was a nice atmosphere! I ordered the poblano chile relleno with ground beef and it was fantastic! It came lightly breaded and fried, covered in the most perfect brothy red chile sauce, and topped with cheese. It was accompanied by delicious rice and beans (a bit runny, but very tasty), as well as a scoop of guacamole and homemade corn tortillas. I loved this place and will definitely be going back! read more

You don't have to speak the language to enjoy home-cooked Mexican food served up at Magdaleno's. It's the best hole-in-the-wall in South Irving! They have daily lunch specials easy on the wallet and many other fantastic dishes served piping hot. The service is mostly quick and begins with complementary chips and salsa. The menu has the authentic food names and translations right below. There's the option to order by number as well. Their enchiladas, gorditas, carne asada, guiso de puerco, caldo de res, and filete a la Mexicana are all favorites, as well as their breakfast tacos, egg burritos, migas, and chilaquiles in the morning. If you like corn tortillas, theirs is authentically homemade and a must try. The surrounding location may not appear appealing to the eye, but it's in a very safe neighborhood and the food will be worth the trip. read more

My son and I are spending more time together lately and he has picked up on my love of finding new places. We were in Irving recently and he found this place. It was 2pm and we were starving. I was able to park right in front and since he is using a walker right now, it worked out perfectly. I didn't see any handicap parking, but as we were starving, I didn't look. The place is so clean - that was the first thing that caught my eye. Some local places don't spend money on flooring and dressing up the walls, but this place fixed it up nice. There were a couple of tables occupied and a couple of servers, so I figured we'd get quick service. We did and she was pleasant & spoke to us in English & Spanish. My son, well, and me too - we like to practice our Spanish whenever we can, lol. I ordered the chili relleno. It's one of my favorites. I have gone off Tex-Mex and even traditional Mexican food, except for the healthier options, since covid and the ability to order-in can cause the weight gain if you're not careful. I splurged today. Not crazy about the runny beans. When I do eat beans now, I choose the whole beans, but didn't quickly see that option. They were good, but too runny. The relleno was cooked perfectly and the cheese inside was yummy. It was served with tortillas and I used them to scoop up bits, it was good. My son had the flautas. He doesn't talk much lately, but def no complaints from him. Service was good. The food was served very quickly and she checked on us and delivered the bill without being asked. The temperature was good, music - not even sure they had any going, the place was pretty calm and quiet. By 3pm, the place was filling up, good for them. Not a 5-star but I enjoyed patronizing a small business owner. read more

The best enchildas. Pablano pepper rejeno , beef tacos , all these are great. Really affordable

I had a craving for gorditas and this place definitely satisfied that craving. Anyway, I had been here before COVID and tables are definitely spaced out and there is less seating, however it was still pretty slow so our food came out fast, hot, and fresh. Due to COVID, everything is on paper plates, paper cups, etc. I had the fajitas gorditas plate with rice and beans and my mother had the carne asada plate with rice and a side salad. Both were so delicious! Since good gorditas are hard to find and this is close to my moms house, I will be back for more gorditas regularly read more

Great place for breakfast. Wife and I both had Machacado con huevos. It was delicious.

We've eaten there several times & it's always been good. From the fajitas to tacos everything is yummy.

Don't go here looking for quality mexican food. Beans are watery, salsa taste bitter, and fajita meat is the toughest I've ever had. Could hardly bite through it. read more

This place makes great food. Delicious, enchiladas. Excellent fresh made guacamole. Friendly and always packed for lunch.

This family-run restaurant is a hidden gem in Irving. Usually one of the daughters will wait on you and I've never really had a problem with any of them like others have mentioned. They've always been courteous and efficient. The food is definitely authentic Mexican and not Tex-Mex. My favorite is the chili relleno. It is also the favorite of my mother-in-law, who ran a tortilla factory/restaurant for half of her life. The pepper is fresh and the egg batter is fried just right. Sooo yummy! I only wish they had a liquor license as the food would be perfect with a margarita! read more

Been here many times for breakfast tacos.. But since prices went up I stopped. Then I went back today. Prices for 3 breakfast tacos are almost $8.60 that's is ridiculous. I used to pay $5 something a few months ago.. I ain't paying 3 tacos for $8.60.. They're crazy!!!! I left the tacos on the table and left.. I'm sorry if you think paying $.50 extra for adding cheese or potatoes.. The staff didn't seem to care. My husband is a gm and he would do anything to please the customers... They didn't say anything or care. Instead of 1 $ sign, make sure you put 2 $$..... Prices are crazy high! You guys are wrong!!! read more

Wow.....this place just got put on the banned list for me, and I hope anyone that reads this review follows suit. Remind this business that certain things are not acceptable. A friend of mine and I went to eat here tonight, and I had my service dog with me. Upon entering the establishment I was asked by the owners daughter, to leave my SERVICE DOG outside. I advised her that federal law allows the dog access to anywhere I go including restaurants. She then proceeded to seat us in the back corner out of traffic, away from other patrons, with no menus. A few minutes pass and menus are brought and drinks(water because they dont serve beer) were ordered. No problem so far. The owner now approaches the table and ask to see my papers for my dog. As she notices the service vest, she backs away from the question before I can explain the law to her. She then proceeds to tell me how other patrons are uncomfortable and I need to just understand and be polite to the waitress (her daughter who I advised of the law). At this point the room of patrons is looking our way and mind you my dog has not made a sound. At this point I feel very unwelcome and descriminated against. Is it because I am a veteran? Is it because I choose a service dog over medication to deal with crowds and anxiety? I tell the owner at this point I FEEL very uncomfortable and we will go elsewhere for dinner. If you are taking the time to read this, do me a favor and go someplace else. Let this owner know that your veterans matter and this behavior on her part is not acceptable!!! read more

I love this place! Great hole in the wall for authentic Mexican food. It is small and it's a genuine mom and pop shop don't expect fine dining service, take it for what it is. The servers are always kind and it's never a hassle to be seated. I come here all the time and definitely recommend it. read more

The service HORRIBLE!! I just came from there and the restaurant is not far from my job and it took over an hour for our to go order. The waitress didn't speak English well messed up one of our orders for carnitas and gave us fajita instead. We told her this is wrong could you give us carnitas and she was like no we can't. You order fajitas she said. No ma'am you have it WRONG! She get her supervisor/manager and this lady told us, "you order fajitas and now you change the order this is your 1st and last time cause we throw this in the trash". This was my 1st time there and my last time there! I told her the customer service was terrible and that we will never come again.( I said more than that but I wont put it) And they didn't want to give us any salsa! I don't know what there problem was but we had several orders they didn't want us to have any. Never will I GO AGAIN! read more

I tried this local place since I Iike supporting local, small businesses. Average mexican food - neither tex-mex or authentico, but average 'Americanized' mexican style. It wasn't too clean on my visit. I had hoped this place would be great! Small restaurant, small parking, but seems to have some followers since it never seems an empty parking lot. read more

Tasty Mexican food - not Tex Mex - without having to drive all over Irving. Red sauce cheese enchiladas were quite delicious! Chips and salsa were average. The dining area had two TV's in a really tiny place (personal peeve), but volume was low. Will go again for sure! read more

Hidden gem located on Shady Grove near Nursery in South Irving. Excellent food, great prices. I had the combination plate with a beef enchilada, gordita filled with lengua, a chicken quesadilla with rice and beans. Everything had a wonderful flavor and was well-prepared. The corn tortillas are thick and the best I have ever had. Hubby had the beef fajitas with grilled onions - very tasty and lots of food. We were both stuffed and the fajitas were so good I got an order to go for my mother! We will definitely be back and are excited that such a great place is right around the corner! Go now - you won't regret it! read more

Enjoyable little spot. Great nachos and chilaquiles! Quick service, tasty red and green sauce. Breakfast tacos are also very tasty.

Food was okay but service is horrible. I don't like how the staff made us feel. I believe it is because we are both white. The staff had this attitude from the moment we entered the restaurant. We were approached and asked, "Can I help you?" I said, "Yes, We would like to have dinner.". And then we were asked, "You're getting an order to go?" And then I said, "No, we came to eat here." Then she looked at us annoyed and said to sit down and she would go get us menus. We both chose our own table and sat and waited for awhile and neither of us could believe how rude we were treated. But now that we were here I wanted to try the food. After waiting a while we were both handed menus and the woman stood over us waiting for us to order and she had just handed us menus. It was like she wanted us to just hurry and be done and leave. I told her we would both like a few minutes to look over the menus and in the meantime we would appreciate a couple glasses of ice water and 2 cokes. And that's when she did it. She rolled her eyes, and sighed. For real. And then walked away to get our drinks. We both looked at each other shocked. Rudeness beyond belief. When she returned with our drinks we ordered fajitas and when they were brought, they were okay. But we had to get her attention to get us more warm tortillas (4 is not enough for 2 people) ...and she seemed irritated with us for asking. Isnt it her job to bring us food and drink that we order? By this point there were 3 other tables with hispanic customers dining. I didnt notice her treating any of them rudely. Just the table of white people. Getting drink refills too was asking too much of her as she blatantly gave us attitude for requesting it even though it was slow and not a busy place she seemed like she didn't want us drinking a second glass. It was so obvious she just wanted us to leave. We both had had enough. I was worried she would be spitting in my food and drink next, so we left and didn't even finish our meal. And I did not even leave any tip at all for the disservice we were given. We will never go there again. And I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else who appreciates being treated as a valuable customer, where you dine. Worst treatment I have ever received in a restaurant. As we were paying we also witnessed a military guy get seated in the back. Then while the server was at his table he started raising his voice. He was upset for sure and the lady leaned in close to the table to talk so I couldn't hear the rest until the guy stood up and said he would take his business else where. I only wish we had done that sooner so we wouldnt have had to endure the experience we had. read more
