I seriously found this place on accident. I had booked a date night at Pipe and Palette, and searched restaurants near by and this one and Knife kept popping up. We had previously been to Knife and wanted to try something new. Honestly I was a little bummed at the option really only being Mexican food because lately with all the Mexican places we've been trying they were all kinda a let down. But I read reviews, saw their menu, and it looked a little more fancy; so I booked a reservation. First off I obviously haven't been on this side of Plano in a while because it was literally right next to Knife and the Pipe and Palette place. So we got to walk right next door after dinner. The restaurant is so spacious and beautiful. I loved every aspect of the interior decor. It reminded me of a resort restaurant from Hotel Mousai in PV. When I tell you the staff was wonderful I'm not exaggerating, every person that had an interaction with us was amazing. Hostess, waitress, food runners, owner, everyone. Truly made the experience great on top of the taste of the food. I haven't been to a place; even a fine dining place recently that when the food runners bring out the food; genuinely tell you to enjoy your meal. The customer service here is refreshing. At least this night it was. Our waitress was wonderful and I'm so sad I forgot her name; she gave great recommendations and actually picked out my dinner and it did not disappoint. Love that they serve the pork rinds with the chips complimentary. We ordered a trio dip sampler with the smoked guacamole, seasonal guacamole and queso blanco. All really good but I personally enjoyed the seasonal guacamole with the mango and habaneros. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce, rice and beans, and the elote corn. I got the Pollo a las Brasas, with a side of the beans. Flavors were there, food was done well, but my chicken dish was definitely the talk of the night. I really enjoyed it. We were too full to eat dessert but we will be back soon. Fun side note they are opening a second location in Allen in December. And the owner of this spot and Knife also have another restaurant in downtown McKinney, called Centro. Which we love Centro as well. Small world! So happy we found this spot. read more

The Chicharron's and tortilla chips that came with the dips were yummy. The shrimp and octopus ceviche was a bit too sweet for my liking. The guacamole was fresh, but needed more salt and lime. The queso was great! The potato steak taco was very heavy on the potato flavor, which I personally don't like very much. I could not taste the flavor of the steak as it was not seasoned and it was there more for texture. The Pastor tacos were flavorful and tasty. I wish they had done something more with the tortillas as they were not great. The chicken entrée was fantastic! It was very flavorful and cooked well. The brussels sprouts were extremely oily and there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the dish. We went on a Monday for mariachi and that was very entertaining and wonderful! The service was great and the ambience inside is nice and there is a lot of space. read more

After seeing primarily good reviews with negatives that seemed to be odd nights, we took the chance. We were impressed with the vibe and our meals. We ordered the smoked guacamole as our appetizer, elote as our shared side, my husband had the birria tacos and you'll see my delicious plate pictured. We ended up taking home one taco, some guacamole, half the corn, as well as about half of my plate. I ate a delicious leftover plate the next evening. I would order my plate again and would love to come for salsa dancing. We live fairly close, so I already have plans to take a friend when she's in town in a few weeks. Our server was friendly and the team that brought out the plates were as well. The only downside was that we didn't see our server until we were done with our meals and ready for takeout containers. If we had needed refills or condiments, that would have been frustrating. read more

This upscale tex mex restaurant is great for casual or even a special event. The interior was so pretty and their covered patio was spacious enough for our baby stroller. Our waitress was very accommodating and offered water and plasticware for our little one. The quesa birria tacos was the star of our meal. It was absolutely delicious with full of fresh meat. The chicken was a bit dry in my enchiladas but the beef/steaks were cooked to perfection. For the most part, we tasted the authenticity of Mexican cuisine which we truly enjoy! read more

This was such a fun night out! The food was awesome and they had some spicy jalapeño sauce I was putting on everything. The fajitas and tacos were sublime and the churros were a nice ending. Our waitress was very kind, attentive, and personable. This restaurant is seating near the mall at willow bend and is a nice area. The ambiance was very calm and casual. A great spot to catch up with friends and have a delicious bite to eat. read more

Mexican Bar has a fun vibe. I frequented it a lot when it first opened and returned again for lunch the other day. The menu has changed a little and now beans and rice come with the street tacos. Definitely a nice addition, tasty and also better value. I had the carnitas with chili de arbol slaw. The slaw really enhanced the carnitas. It had a nice smoky and nutty taste which combined with the chopped peanuts on top made it so good. By the way, I don't love nuts, but this was good! The shrimp tacos were described as fresh and vibrant. Go with the black beans over the refried. I also love that my granddog could sit at the last table in the outside area. (See pic). All is good with a dog by your side. read more

I've been here many times. Love the food and service. The chicharrones, tortilla chips and salsa that come out immediately are really good, as is the guacamole. Pollo a las Brasas is delicious- it's a big meal, always plenty to bring home. There is a Burrito version of pollo a las brasas as well. It's huge, and just as good. Both include sweet plantains. Unfortunately I've not branched out much from the a las brasas family of dishes as i enjoy them that much. Service has been super friendly every time. read more

The service was excellent! I came here celebrating a birthday and the party was large and well taken care of. The layout of the place also made it a a nice spot for large gatherings. The food, however, was flavorless and underwhelming. I ordered spicy, blackened shrimp tacos that looked uninspired, and the rice and refried beans were terribly under seasoned. I would only return for the atmosphere and the drinks. read more

We came here for Father's Day and the atmosphere was great and had a live DJ. The mimosa pitchers come with an assortment of juice that include orange, pineapple, and guava and are perfect for groups of 4 or more. The pork rinds are a unique twist to chips and salsa. The guacamole was great all the tacos were amazing. We had no issues with service but it is a little pricey. read more

Came here for a last mine dinner outing on a Wednesday and they were not busy at all. I was told that they have dancing later in the night or on certain days. We got our food pretty quick. Chips and pork skin for the table with the sauces were good, you could get full from that itself! Our main dishes were tacos and enchiladas and ceviches. Great for sharing! read more

If you want upscale Mexican food and amazing cocktails, look no further! MBC has it all, with live mariachi music on Monday nights. I had the pork chop this time, covered in a spicy slaw with a purée of carrots and sweet potatoes dotted with pomegranate seeds. The perfectly spiced pork was a nice match for the purée, with a little bit of tart sweetness from the pomegranates, and the slaw added just a little more heat and crunchiness. So wonderful, and Monica was an amazing server! It's a little pricey, but 100% worth it! Oh, and they have salsa dancing lessons and dancing on Saturday nights for the late night crowd! I visited a couple Saturdays ago, and everybody was having a lot of fun. I don't dance, but the vibe was amazing. read more

Mexican Bar Company - Tres Leches!! My favorite. :) - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've been here several times over the last few years. I feel overall it's average. The food is pretty pricey for the value and quality compared to other restaurants in the same space. The TVs are decent if you're at the bar, but not for a big game. This place is a little bit overpriced for what you get. read more

Ambiance is great - can sit inside or on patio. Kind of at a mall, but still scenic views to look at from the patio. It's open air concept, so I'd be interested to see how they manage the heat. In the Spring it was lovely. Ample parking as it's basically at the mall. Google Maps didn't take us to the side we ended up parking at, as we found closer spots by passing through the courtyard. Decor was cute and Mexican. There was a DJ for brunch on the weekend but he wasn't working bc there weren't a lot of patrons. Sad it was so dead, I always wish all businesses could be busy and thriving. DJ seemed to want to walk around and talk to friends more than DJ. I think he had a playlist and set and forgot it. Food was good, but a bit expensive. We got the queso/guac dips which were ok but not anything unique. Not sure I'd get them for just 2 people again as it made us fill up too much. Carnitas hash was good, but pricey for what it was. Staff was friendly and quick, again, not very many people there so we were happy she didn't disappear on us. read more

We came here with a group because we saw on Plano magazine they had the best Mexican food and margaritas. The Birria tacos were delicious! I was a bit disappointed by the margarita selection as there wasn't a wide variety like I thought from the magazine article. Just a lot of different tequilas you could choose to put in your margarita. However our waiter Jonah was a great guide for which drink to get by making suggestions based on likes. read more

Mexican Bar Company - Quesa Birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

My goodness, this place was delicious and beautiful! You really feel like you are on vacation. A fiesta of flavors and colors. Wonderful service. Mouthwatering Mexican ears, treats and sweets! We ordered a different items- but I have to say- that half chicken was heavenly-cloud 9-out of this world. We shared the half chicken and it was enough for 5 people. Every bite is seasoned so well. Even better for leftovers. We had a breakfast hash and taco the next day. Margaritas are magnificent! Great atmosphere for a wonderful relaxing night! Chef's kiss! All of the delicious were well seasoned- I would only recommend for the chicken Caesar to cut up the chicken- the chicken was a little dry and didn't look very appetizing styled in this manner. Overall, I can't wait to try that chicken again! We will be back! read more

I had a very fun night recently at Mexican Bar Company. Went on a Saturday with a group of friends and the goal was to hopefully party like we used to in South America. It's hard to find a place that has the right combination of music, ambiance, and service. Mexican Bar Company nails it completely! The music was amazing! We loved the DJ selection and were super impressed by the live music, the signer is an incredible vocalist. What we did not expect was to also have delicious food and beautifully crafted cocktails. Sadly, I don't live in the area otherwise I would be a regular. But I assure you Mexican Bar Company will be in my agenda every time I travel to the greater Dallas area. read more

Overpriced -check ! small portions -Check ! Did I already say overpriced ?? We came in hoping it will be everything the other reviews say it was and starting with a very kind server and a free serving of chips and Pork rinds , our expectations were high . The menu is limited and designed in a peculiar way where you can only pick three similar kind of Tacos at the same time and the damn Queso costs $13 ? Here is the thing - I am all for high prices if the food is good but not at this place .I really don't even know what to write for the rest of the review since nothing about this place was memorable -perhaps the Lobster Tostada and the sweet server . The drinks were mediocre and so were the Tacos and salsa. You can do better than this place , trust me ! read more

I frequently eat here with my girlfriends. Manuel is our usual server but he wasn't there today. We were so happy with Edith! She was so attentive and amazing! She was personable, friendly and so kind. Made our lunch fun and enjoyable! We always love the food! The drinks are the best too! There are too many to choose from and the ones we've had are delicious! My pal loved the guava drink today. I had the antioxidant green tea infused Tito's frozen drink and one of my favorites! Between the 3 of us we've tried 6-7 drinks and all have been really good! They got the Avocado salad with chicken and was huge! A lot of chicken too! I love the beef street tacos in lettuce wraps! Always tender beef and so much beef on each taco! We're planning on coming back soon with our husbands and with just us girls. Thank you for the amazing service Edith! read more

Visited here as a party of 9 with a reservation. Had no problem sitting down. But the service was horrible. Our waiter rarely visited our table. We had to flag someone down to get refills and to have our check brought to us. The menu is VERY limited. It is not a place to come hungry at all. I did enjoy the cafe con leche as it was very cold in the restaurant. Drinks were overpriced and mediocre. We did not stay past 9p so I cannot speak on the dance and music vibes. Not sure that I will be back to experience. With plenty of other places nearby with music and food, this place needs to make some changes. Salsa and chicharrones and chips were tasty that is brought to the table to snack on. read more

Very mediocre. The chips and chicharrones were very stale. The tres leches cake was barely soaked at all, also tasted like it was dry because it wasn't fresh. The fried fish tacos were not seasoned at all. read more

The good: Server was friendly. The patio was nice. The chips & salsa & pork rinds were good. Food was decent. The bad: the server recommended the fajitas. I asked if the tortillas were homemade. She said yes. They weren't. They were grocery store tortillas. They only give you 3 at charge you for more. They also charged me for extra cheese when they only brought out a teaspoonful. $28 for about 6 oz of meat is ridiculous. read more

First time at MBC, already looking for to going back. Stopped by for Mariachi Monday, they were amazing. Located in Willow Bend Mall this trendy spot is great for girls night out, date lunch or just dinner out with friends. Upon arrival you are treated to chips and amazing salsas along with pork rinds that are light and crispy. They offer an extensive drink/food list. I had the green chicken enchiladas and they were amazing! Service was good, but the prices are above most similar dining spots. Honestly a bit too pricey. read more

We stopped by this spot for happy hour. It reminded me of college with "beat the clock" ever hour the menu prices go up for happy hour from 3 to 6. But only on the high tops and bar area. When you sit down you get chips, chicharrones (pork rinds), and two salsas that were both delicious. The Milagro Pinadito Margarita was amazing and tasted like we were on vacation. We also got the barbacoa and carnitas tacos. I preferred the carnitas over the barbacoa. But the carnitas did have peanuts or something that was a bit odd. The vibe was good and staff was friendly. Unfortunately the patio is not dog friendly so we had to put the pup up and have a quick 30 min happy hour. read more

Very first time here, highly recommended. It's a pretty space, nice lighting, and open spaces. Chips, pork rinds, red, and green salsas were delivered right away. Chips were fresh and the green salsa was very good. The house guacamole was okay, no seasoning. No salt on the table either, which is odd. My el pastor tacos were tasty, with a little kick, but very small portions for $17.50. The service was good until we wanted the check. There was a pesky fly buzzing around during our entire lunch...landing on our food! Not good. read more

Food was delicious especially the chicharrones that came with the chips and salsa... I came to try the pork chop as I was told it's as good as Perry's... On the menu it's listed as 10oz... hmm... it was delicious, super tender and tasty BUT it was hidden under a bunch of cabbage slaw and I was still hungry when finished.. was probably more like 6oz... no way it was 10oz. I was still hungry after I finished it.. Perry's is still better as everyone takes half of it home and eats on it for a couple days. read more

Just had lunch on a Sunday for the first time and yum, delicious food! Got the shrimp ceviche, chicken enchiladas and carne tacos--so good! Even the chips and salsa they have were perfectly crispy. However, what made our experience even better was our server, VERONICA! Her personality was so welcoming and kind. She made us laugh and paid attention and gave us anything we needed before we even asked. She's awesome! There were plenty of seats, the Cowboys game was on and the vibes were awesome. Great ambiance--would definitely come here again! Ask for Veronica!! read more
