    Mesquite Grilled Chicken plate, chicken was cold centered and the sweet potatoe hash underneath was an afterthought.
    Rico M.

    Food was terrible, second time in a row. I would not visit this location. Irving, Plano/Frisco and Downtown Dallas are great, this place is not - whatsoever. Fajitas came out, maybe 1/2 the serving of the other restaurants and it was lukewarm - skillet wasn't hot like normal, could pick it up by hand. Pico looked like someone ate out of the bowl first and we got the leftovers, same for rice and beans. Grilled chicken plate was cold centered, didn't eat it and didn't want to fight with the waiter... Hostess and server were rude, both younger kids that didn't want to be there. Waiter said maybe 5-10 words in total, including an awesome "what's up nod" with nothing said to introduce himself followed by "drinks?" Guy was caught up worried about how he looked, never checked on the tables around us. Got served our dinner with no silverware, had to wait 5+ minutes to catch his eye, he was busy talking at the bar with other employees (packed restaurant btw). Finally got our silverware...he was holding all pieces in his hands. That was awesome, no napkins. Ended up walking around and found a table with no one and took that silverware. Overall, this is the second time in a row with a similarly horrible experience - last time they had 2 waiters serving the entire main room and they kept apologizing for the slow service despite seeing the manager in the kitchen on his phone hanging out, multiple cooks standing around. I'd avoid this location, manager didn't care to listen. Go Nextdoor to Ida Claire for great food and service, same chain, but better ran. $80 wasted!

    Checked this restaurant for a girl's brunch! The restaurant is spacious and decorated well. Initially, our server was attentive, starting us off with drinks and answering any questions that we had. We ordered and it seemed after we received our food, they had forgotten us. No silverware with my friend's food so we had to wait quite some time. When wanting to place another drink order, additional wait time. The restaurant did not experience heavy traffic on the Sunday we visited so it was a bit disappointing. Although the server was missing in action, my Mesquite-grilled steak hit the spot. I would definitely go back again to see if service changes.

    We made dinner reservations for friends visiting from out of town for 7:45 pm! This place was packed for a Monday and we had to wait at least about 30 mins even w a reservation- crazy! I had made it super early in the day. Regardless I could let that slide bc it's about the company and food. We sat in the nice lounge area, we had kids w us and didn't get any kids menu - my friends had to ask several times for waiter to get us. I have to say this may have been the worst service we have received here and it was so unfortunate bc we took friends to eat there, that never come to Dallas. The waiter was just really rude and you could tell he really didn't want to service us. I mean they were busy and he might have had too many tables but he was never around. My son had to go to bar and get straws for us, my husband had to go get a steak knife from somewhere bc our food didn't come w one I ordered the carne asada and I didn't finish it, it was not good today at all. The kids got the wrong plate and had to rush their food out. We had to ask for refills whenever he did come around and we were told to "give me a minute miss" man I'm just letting you know bc I may never see you again he would run out so quickly. I would not want him as a waiter again sorry. He would split check and my friend had to ask manager to spilt for her at that point we were done. My friends ordered chicken fajitas they never got their tortillas I mean I can go on about how bad the service was. Either they need more waiters or give them less tables I don't know where he went. He also said was stubborn about selling me the $150 Wagu steak platter - like dude it's just a Monday and we not that hungry. And w that service no way would I ever want to order that there I'll go to del frisco or Perry's not here. I contemplated even posting this and just moving on but I feel ya need to know. I've gotten bad service here twice now but not all are bad I had a really good waiter one time he was the best but Monday night was for the pits. No way. So if ya go here I say you're about 50/50 going to get good service and that may just be the way it is here but it's a popping place even w reservations you might have to wait.

    I recently visited Mexican Sugar for brunch and had a pleasant overall experience. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful inside, with a stylish atmosphere and great décor that makes it a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a meal. For brunch, I tried the quesadilla and the steak tacos. The food was not bad, but there were a few things that could have been better. The quesadilla had a bit too much cheese and eggs for my taste, which made it feel a little heavy. The steak tacos had good flavor, but the steak was somewhat chewy. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit, which I appreciated. Service was a little slow at times, but everyone was nice and attentive when they stopped by our table. Overall, while the food didn't completely wow me, the beautiful atmosphere and kind staff made for an enjoyable brunch experience. I'd be willing to come back and try some other items on the menu.

    Worth the hype that i have heard! Wait was not long and food came quickly. Our waiter was very attentive and had good recommendations. They were busy but kept up well with everyone around even bigger parties. The rice has a lime kick that is very flavorful. The enchiladas were really good and made even better leftovers the next day. Everything is fresh and you can really tell! Will be recommending and bringing friends. It was a week night and very busy so i do suggest making a reservation. Also parking fills fast.

    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.

    Jacob was our server and he was fun! He had a few larger tables but checked in on us frequently and gave great recommendations. The mussels were full of spice and flavor, definitely a good portion to share for the table. We ordered enchiladas, tortilla soup and the fried shrimp/elote tacos and our group left full and satisfied.

    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.

    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!

    Really enjoyed it here . We all got fajitas . They were really tasty. The cilantro rice soooo good. We had a few drinks they were all good. Margarita , something with rum. The service was always very good. Chips & salsa were complimentary.

    Hibiscus cocktail
    Lesley M.

    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 - :))

    Excellent tortilla chips, warm salsa...pretty plates!
    David L.

    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...

    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!

We arrived before the lunch rush during the week and still had a 20 minute wait. I figured out it was probably due to a waitstaff shortage because there were plenty of tables available. I do love the decor of the restaurant and love the decorative glass on the ceiling. After our buzzer went off, we were shown to a table near the back. I noticed several really long tables filled with huge parties of business people. I ordered my usual entree - tamales and hubby ordered chicken enchiladas. I love snacking on the warm black bean dip and chips. I have to make myself stop eating them so I'll have room for my meal. I can only eat one tamale, do I took the remaining 2 home to enjoy later. I showed my server the email on my phone for a free flan. I'm not a real fan of flan so I asked if i could pay the difference between the cost of the flan and the churros, which I much preferred. He came back after checking with his manager and told me they couldn't do that. This was very disappointing to me. I was really looking forward to churros, not flan. I asked if I could take the flan home and it was packaged up. We enjoyed our leftover tamales and enchiladas. I really didn't care for the flan, so I doubt if I will go there again for the birthday freebie. I know I could have also ordered the churros and just paid for them, but it was only a flight difference in cost. I would have thought that if they truly cared about customer satisfaction, especially for a special event like a birthday that they might have made the requested accommodation.

They have a very nice full bar yet I was not drinking so enjoyed a traditional Topo Chico Mexican seltzer (I understand it goes great with tequila). Their mural is amazing and unique. If in the Dallas area and you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this place is a must try! I will return!!
