Came by on a coworker's recommendation plus it was close my the hotel I was staying at. The restaurant was nicely decorated and felt really warm. The fresh chip and salsa kept me munching while we waited for the order. Our server was very nice and friendly answered my newbie questions. Ordered the mango aqua fresca, but probably should have ordered the horchata instead. Found out at the end that the horchata is freshly made. Had the skirt steak that was very flavorful and the steak was cooked nicely. Finished the meal with the quatro leche cake (the forth leche component was horchata). That was a perfect dessert to finish the meal with. read more

Upscale mexican food. Our waiter was very attentive and did a great job describing the menu and the preparation techniques. He mentioned that all food is made from scratch and based on my experience, I have no reason to doubt it. Everything tasted fresh. Now even though it tasted fresh, I must say that the seasonings seemed to fall just a bit short. For example, I asked for a spicy salsa - can you bring me something that's HOT? I was offered two options, the spicier option was a fruit/habanero salsa. It was so sweet though that it could have passed for a jelly. So mexican food without a spicy component was odd to me. On the flip side, my wife ordered a chicken taco dish that she said was plenty spicy. The dining room was lively and slightly loud. It was strangely dark in the dining room despite being somewhat bright outside. We were relying on the small lamp on our table way too much! I will give this place another try. read more

We went to Mexican Sugar for happy hour and had such a great experience! They offer $7 drinks and $2 off appetizers during their designated happy hour, which makes it a perfect after-work spot. Even though we had a larger group, the service was fast, friendly, and very attentive. The atmosphere was just right for a relaxing happy hour! It was fun and lively without feeling overwhelming. Definitely a great place to unwind and catch up with friends after work! read more

3.5/5 First time visiting Mexican Sugar's new Addison location for brunch on an early Sunday morning, after it being recommended; and the host greeting was warm and welcoming -- it definitely got us excited for the experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful; the ambiance and decor really give it a Mexican Tejano feel, which we loved. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match that first impression. Even with a reservation, we had to wait to be seated, our drinks were forgotten twice, and our food took about 50 minutes to come out. We also noticed tables seated after us being served first, which felt a little off. The food was good, just not a huge wow factor for Mexican food. The salsas aren't as spicy if you're someone who likes heat. However, drinks were great! The hibiscus cocktail,cucumber jalapeño cocktail and mangonada margaritas were really refreshing. 10000/10! Overall, it's probably a great brunch spot for smaller groups of 2-4, but with a family and kids, the ambiance and service may not be the best fit. Hoping to have a better experience next time but will be back with a review then - :)) read more

After my first meal at Mexican Sugar, I can see why this restaurant is so popular. The warm tortilla chips were very good, and while I prefer a spicier salsa, their mild version is still quite good. Oh, man, their pork chop is fantastic - really tender and flavorful with a well balanced chile citrus brine. The cilantro lime rice had a little heat - perhaps some jalapeño - and complemented the sweet pork well. I actually would have like some more rice, but man, that pork was the star! Our server, Gabby, was great. In addition to serving my table on the lovely patio, she was taking care of a party of 18. After a little light rain, the large party wanted to move inside. Despite the huge inconvenience to the staff, Gabby had it all under control and was super attentive. The only disappointment was their classic margarita, which was rather weak... read more

Dinner last night at Mexican Sugar was one of those evenings that just flows--good food, good company, good energy. I was traveling with my daughter-in-love Cinda, for a varsity girls basketball game (coach mom life adjacent), and this spot turned a road-trip dinner into a full experience. Let's start with the drinks, because they deserve their own moment. Margarita Flight * Machete * Clásico * Hibiscus Make it skinny: Cazadores Blanco, Cointreau, St-Germain, fresh lime Every pour was thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully presented. Honestly? The drinks alone looked like they belonged at a five-star table. Elegant glassware, vibrant color, zero shortcuts. For dinner, Cinda had the Brasas Chicken tacos --roasted chicken layered with salsa roja, queso blanco, chipotle crema, and queso fresco. Flavorful, comforting, and elevated without trying too hard. I had three made-to-order enchiladas with corn tortillas, black beans, and that unforgettable cilantro-lime rice. That rice deserves applause. Light, airy, fresh--almost floating. I've never had rice quite like that, and now I'm ruined for the regular kind. The enchiladas featured roasted chicken with Chihuahua cheese, queso blanco, salsa verde, and salsa roja--rich but balanced, bold without being heavy. Every bite felt intentional. And let me say this clearly: the presentation was stunning. Plates came out looking polished and artful, the kind of detail you expect from fine dining, not just "good Mexican food." Even the drinks were dressed to impress. Service? Impeccable. The little things mattered--doors opened when we arrived, opened again when we left, warm send-offs, genuine hospitality throughout. Friendly, professional, and never forced. The ambiance was lovely--busy but not chaotic, stylish without being loud. You could actually have a conversation, which is underrated these days. And yes, because standards are standards: it was clean. And if it's not clean, I'm not eating there. Period. Perfect for a date night, a girls' night, or a quality dinner while traveling. Bonus points for being reasonably priced, because good food doesn't need to hurt your feelings--or your wallet. Five out of five. No notes. Do yourself a favor and go experience it. This one's worth leaving the house for. read more

Finally tried this place and I'm gonna be honest it was just ok. Food was mid, and nothing overly stands out. I did like the chips and salsa the sauce was good. This place was dark good for date night and cocktails for sure but food was just ok. Service was really good though maybe I'll give it another chance down the the road. read more

Oh my! Mexican Sugar is not only beautifully designed, it's also absolutely delicious!!! This used to be TGI Fridays, and Mexican Sugar kept the fire kiln in the corner from the old restaurant, nothing else about this space resembles TGI Fridays. My husband and I ordered the chicken fajitas and it's one of the best we have eaten. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Tasty, char grilled flavor, and moist/juicy. And their cilantro rice was truly a treat to eat! Our waiter was amazing. He was informative, helpful, and my water glass was always full. They use real glass for your drink ware, and I appreciate that as I hate drinking from plastic. And for my purse, they have a purse/coat tree they bring to your table. How fun is that! This has just become my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Dallas area! read more

First time coming to this location. Queso is great. Hibiscus margarita was strong and good. The chicken fajitas were packed with flavor. Ambiance is very different than the las colinas location. Was disappointed when I got the bill, as I had came for happy hour and the happy hour discount was not reflected on my bill for my app. And they had added another drink to my bill that we didn't order. read more

We came here for one of our son's birthday dinner. It's his favorite restaurant and our first time. I was very impressed when I walked in and saw an upscale Mexican experience inside. The service is five star . Our server was spot on all night but never interrupting the dinner experience. We started with the queso and chips which was amazing. Truly a great blend of cheese and spices. I had the salmon and mostly liked it. What turned out to be a common theme was the temperature all of our entrees were served. LUKE WARM. It really made a difference in the taste and dinner for me. Otherwise, that salmon would have been amazing. My wife and son both had the chicken/beef fajitas. Same issue. LUKE WARM. Every restaurant I've been to serves the fajitas on a steaming hot metal plate. It was a metal plate but just barely warm and their dinner was cold within 5 minutes of sitting on the table. I was served and charged for elote that I never ordered. However, it was soooo good! Then really the last act truly surprised me. We mentioned in the online reservation we were celebrating birthday. They brought out a birthday flan with a candle....then charged us. We didn't order it and I've never had a restaurant charge for something like this. Especially a $200 meal with drinks, appetizers and entrees for four. I'm being generous with four but it was that good. Hope tonight was just an off night for room temperature meals. read more

If I could do a 10 star I would!!! My husband and I were out for a nice night out for Valentines Day! It's our first time going out on night like this in 4 years because we are very busy working parents with a 4 year old at home. We decided to try out Mexican Sugar because it was walking distance from our hotel on the way to improv! Pros: The hostess was very friendly and we knew with it being Valentine's Day we may not get a table before our show at the improv. She was extremely nice and let us that there would be a long wait until we could be seated due to reservations. Completely understandable. She pointed out to us that we were free to sit at the bar which luckily there was a few openings. The bar staff is beyond amazing and is there for their guests 100%! I had the best spicy margarita that I have ever had from previous restaurant and bars!!! The food is delicious and the kitchen staff is amazing at getting quality food to their guest in no time!!! I would highly recommend the Chicken Mole and the Carne Asada tacos. Chicken Mole does have a slight spice to it but delicious! The bartenders are all about being focus on their guest and engaging in making sure you enjoy your time. We even returned back hoping to sit at the bar again to try their Margarita flight. All three were well made with high quality ingredients and key details with flavored ice on one of them. The bartender checked on how we're liking the flight and made a suggestion to try one of them with a tajin rim. She was right! It elevated the taste of the drink that I can't wait to come back to have it again!! During our return we ordered the Queso Blanco and it really hit the spot for a late night snack!! Chips and the salsa is so good! I wish I would've ordered some to take home because the salsa is one of the best I have ever had!! We can't wait to return again hopefully sometime soon when we have a babysitter again!!! Cons: absolutely none!!!!!! Wish there was a location near my home but would like the same bartenders! Ladies thank you for an awesome Valentine's Day experience!!! read more

Summary: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Value: 4.5/5 We picked this place because it was close to our hotel the Addison Marriott and had good reviews. It has a nice slightly upscale vibe with modern design. The hostess was friendly and seated us quickly. It was inly a few minutes before our waitress, Gabby, arrived with water, chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were okay. average among Tex-Mex venues. The salsa was on the sweet rather than spicy side. We ordered our staple classic margaritas on the rocks, no-salt. They were okay/average. Then we split an order of beef and chicken fajitas. The dish was outstanding! The beef and chicken were deliciously seasoned and tender, the sides were tasty, and the portions of everything were perfect for our appetites. The Bar Manager, Jordan, stopped to make sure everything was good and chatted with us for a few minutes about the restaurant. Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and would consider returning the next time we are in Addison. read more

Wow - what a wonderful lunch we had today to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Great service from host seating to our server, Karina H !! Shout out to Danialle who stopped by to make sure everything was perfect as the restaurant was very very busy. It was the perfect festive place to go with music and celebration feel. Our apps to our deserts were amazing ! And of course the margaritas ! Happy Cinco y'all. read more

Shout out to our server Stevend, he steered us through the menu, kept everything filled and was fun to engage. 10 out of 5 stars. Cool vibe, plenty of parking and we have already said that service was excellent. But what about the food????? Sangria - frozen, very unique but delicious. Espresso Martini - another solid choice Queso - solid choice, but carries some heat. Salsa - served temperature hot, dark, good flavor. Carrots - fantastic flavor, firm but firm tender. Cauliflower - disappointing, lots of cilantro, but very little lime. Brasa Chivken Tacos - flavor was good, but the spice level was maybe a bit much. Pork Chop - OK I think I died and went to heaven because the pork chop was so tender, so flavorful I wanted to eat every single. ORDER THIS for sure.. Great spot, upscale Mexican with some elevated dishes. read more

We went here for dinner on a Saturday evening. Let me start by saying that the interior is gorgeous. It is one of the most attractive restaurants I have been to in a very long time. Actually, it is beyond attractive, it is beautiful. The restaurant is modern upscale but also casual. It is laid out intelligently. The bar is huge and centrally located, an attraction to the eyes. The restaurant is large but feels intimate and cozy. To me, this is one of the best features of the restaurant. The other thing that stood out was the innovative menu. There are the usual enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, etc etc that you expect in a Mexican restaurant. But there are also some gems that you don't see that often, We started with the Arepas as an appetizer. Arepas are usually a hand held sandwich, a round roll with fillings stuffed inside. At Mexican Sugar, they were served as four small round discs with brisket, Cole slaw, and a Fresno pepper on top. At $16 they were not cheap, but the flavor was very good and they were perfect as an appetizer that did not fill you up for the main course. Another item that you don't see often that we ordered was the elote street corn. It was good. The kid had guacamole and liked it although it may have been a bit too upscale for her palate. The wife and I split the carne asada fajitas. The portion is not large but the meat was seasoned perfectly and was, for the most part, very tender. They serve it medium rare which is a good choice and I suggest going with that. Unfortunately, the one piece that the wife in her fajita was either fatty or gristle and she had trouble chewing it. she did not enjoy it and I had to hear about all the way home. The entree comes with three tortillas which is just about right for the portion of meat. There is an upcharge for more tortillas. My main criticism, aside from the chewy piece of meat for the wife, concerned the drinks. I like my margarita straight up, which means it is shaken and served with no ice. At Mesero, which is the direct competitor of Mexican Sugar, they do it right and give you a full glass. At Mexican Sugar, I got half a glass. I did not even take a picture because it was embarrassing. I understand the thinking: this is the volume of liquid we would serve with ice, so this is the volume of liquid we serve with no ice. Frankly, the visual effect screams pettiness and cheapness. We are talking about adding maybe 1 oz of more liquid. I would fix that problem pronto. For my second, I asked for a Mexican marine to fix the half glass problem. It was not on the menu but they made it anyway. The problem was an incredibly small glass with no discernible tequila. It was a glass of juice with olives. If there was tequila, it could not have been more than a quarter shot since the glass was so small. I would not order that again, it's a waste of money. The wife had the same problem. She ordered some kind of non-alcoholic fruity drink on the menu with no ice and received half a glass. Service was very good. Our waitress, I did not get her name and don't have a receipt to refer to, was very accommodating and helpful. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. The interior is a reason to visit this restaurant. The food was generally good although the wife would not let me order the carne asada again. Service was great. But the drink situation has to be corrected. read more

Ambiance: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Food: 5 Stars Instant Fan of this place! Walking in this place will impress you. It's first class all the way. The large chandelier over the greeting area sets the tone. The rest of the place does not disappoint. Our server Juan was great. He was a sling a large section but we never felt neglected. Once he knew it was our first visit, he took extra care of us. We ordered Queso Blanco and Chicken Fajitas. The Queso was amazing and the Fajitas were probably the best I have had anywhere. Great experience and this place is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

Mexican Sugar - Addison location The ambiance inside is dark and romantic, with candlelight everywhere. We chose to sit outside, and it was wonderful--no bugs and the temperature was perfect. The service was great: prompt, attentive, and our drinks and food came out quickly. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. Everything on the menu is made from scratch, which really shows in the flavors. The tortillas are amazing! I'm partial to the corn tortillas, while my boyfriend really enjoyed the hibiscus and flour tortillas. Overall, everything was very flavorful and delicious. read more

Delicious! I enjoyed the pastor tacos a lot! The service was great, the outdoor patio was very nice and relaxing. I will be back.

Really bad experience with service. The waiter was pleasant but he was hard to find, and rarely came to the table. We ordered an appetizer that was never brought to the table. They also refused to allow us to pay in cash due to being a "cashless" establishment. This is strange and not normal - I've never heard of a sit-down restaurant that refuses to accept cash. Manager said the cashless sign was posted outside on the door, but on our way out we looked and a very small sign was posted but it was nowhere near eye level. You wouldn't see the sign if you aren't looking for it. We will not be back. Great food but not worth the bad service at all. Really bad experience. We were given a "free appetizer" voucher card for our next visit, but we absolutely will not be back. read more

Had a great time here! The food was delicious especially the elotes, fajitas, and arepas. The ceviche was just okay and felt like it was missing something. The place itself is really cute and the server was nice. Though I wish she had communicated a bit more. For example, we asked for extra tortillas but didn't know there'd be an extra charge which is fine it was extra. As a customer in general, i just like to know what im paying for. I'd recommend making a reservation if you plan to come on a weekend! read more

Pretty good food and excellent service by Alex. Love the ambiance!! Did not care for the warm hot sauce flavor that comes with their very tasty and light homemade chips. Delicious pork chop (tender and flavorful with a nice sauce on the side), very fresh marinated shrimp, and guacamole. The shrimp and corn tacos were too sweet my wife thought (tasted like honey added) and she didn't like the bland flavor of the corn/hibiscus tortillas. Disappointed in the flavor of the chocolate avocado cake - light chocolate cake but hard white filling was too sugary we thought. I declined the communicated manager's offer in return for a 5 star google review. read more

I love the other locations but had not had a chance to visit this new one in Addison. We had a small group and were greeted with professionalism and courtesy. Our waiter was okay. He didn't seem interested in serving our group and made a remark about this is not a Texmex establishment which no one asked. Some of our meals were overcooked especially the chicken fajitas, which had pieces that were burnt. Another person didn't get part of their order until we were ready to leave. The drinks were watered down as well, even the sodas. This was the only location that I didn't have a good experience. read more

We came here for brunch and our favorite server Janeth was amazing as always. It was our first time at this new location and omg we were impressed. Beautiful from top to bottom: the chairs, wood table tops, full wall display shelves with the nicest tequilas I've ever seen, and the plates were all different and gorgeous as seen in the pictures. To start I had the white sangria and it was delicious. We also ordered the queso which came out very quickly and very hot temperature wise. It came in a nice metal bowl that stayed very warm throughout our meal. The food was obviously very fresh and well made. I'm a picky eater and I was able to order off the brunch menu without special requests and loved every bite. I had the brunch tacos and he had brunch quesadillas we swapped one of each to try. I highly recommend the brunch here. We ended with horchata and flan for dessert and the flan with that plate is literally edible art. The horchata was so good as well. We already made plans for lunch to try more things we saw on the menu. Such a cute new spot!! read more

I've been here several times now and sat in the dining and the bar. We now only sit at the bar because of the service and the drinks. Ask for Tracy if you are here. She's got the menu down, makes a great drink (ask for a Mezcalita!), and actually knows how to hold a conversation without missing a beat. It's hard to find that kind of service consistently--she's the best part of the experience here (in addition to the great food). read more
