My amazing husband Colin and I got a VERY rare, like basically-never-happens lunch date, and Mexican Sugar absolutely delivered!! I had the shrimp salad and pozole, and Colin had the chicken brasa tacos. All of it was delectable. We asked for a spicier salsa, and our amazing waiter Daniel brought us this orange salsa that was probably habanero and SO GOOD. I had the Machete, which was insanely refreshing and came with frozen watermelon cubes instead of ice Colin looooved his Out of Office. Atmosphere 10/10. Food 10/10. Service 11/10. We will absolutely be back--and asking for Daniel! read more

Mexican Sugar Las Colinas - Pozole and shrimp salad remnants of machete - Latin American Near Me - Irving, Texas

Mexican Sugar Las Colinas is a Mexican restaurant in Irving that has become a great place if you're looking for a patio, happy hour, or legit good eats. There are so many Mexican\Tex Mex restaurants in North Texas and Mexican Sugar continues to impress. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - I love the atmosphere at Mexican Sugar. The restaurant itself reminds me of Mexico inside and out, and the different types of seating (communal, patio, traditional, cool) will give you plenty of options. But in the evening, when Happy Hour begins Mexican Sugar will fill up with tons of patrons and good energy. 1 Star. Service - The service has always been good on my multiple visits. This is a Mexican restaurant, and the staff know the menu very well. If you're not sure how something is pronounced or tastes, just ask! 1 Star. Food - There's brunch on the weekends and traditional Mexican dishes (tacos, enchiladas). On my visit on a holiday, I went with brunch and the Barbacoa Chilaquiles. This is a traditional Mexican breakfast where tender barbacoa is layered on tortilla chips along with a sunny side up egg. The result is a fantastic combination of flavors, texture, and heat. Yes, it's a slow burn, and those of you who like spice will love it. I had to finish it off with a Mexican Flan as a perfect way to cool my mouth. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Honestly, I don't know why Mexican Sugar is not in my rotation of places in Irving. It hits every mark and I've never been disappointed. Yes. I'll be back. 1 Star. read more

I'd probably give them a 4.5 for the vibes and service. We had a reservation and got seated a little earlier than expected which was nice. Our server was soooo nice and very chatty which I actually enjoyed tonight. It was nice to talk to him and enjoy their atmosphere. The food is pretty good too just nothing I haven't had before honestly. Still really cute place that I would recommend to people! They have a limited menu so be aware of that, but what they have they do it well. Chicken Fajitas: Doesn't come out smoking hot which I would've wanted but it had great flavor. It was boujee fajitas for sure lol. A bit spicy but I enjoyed that. 8/10 Tacos: a little dry but again had great flavor. 8/10 Queso; tasty but didn't come out super hot, it was kind of clumpy. 6/10 Horchata: omg so good must get 10/10 read more

We arrived early with a party of 15 and were seated right away! Accommodating such a large group can be challenging, but this restaurant absolutely knocked it out of the park. Our server was unbelievable! He made sure everyone always had a fresh drink, gave fantastic menu recommendations, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. On top of the amazing service, every single thing we ate was delicious! The margaritas were especially incredible. I highly recommend trying the watermelon margarita--the ice is actually made from watermelon, which was such a fun and delicious touch! We will absolutely be back. Great food, amazing drinks, and exceptional service! read more

We were met promptly at the entrance and shown our seat. Our servers, Marcus and trainee Sam stopped by our table moments later to greet us, bringing a bowl of chips with salsa and to take our drink order. Shortly later our drinks were brought to us and the servers returned for our appetizer order, which we declined and went straight to the meals. I ordered the Barbacoa Taco plate. It came with 3 tacos filled to the max as well as rice and black beans. My son ordered the Mole Enchilada plate. My tacos were moist and easy to eat, I added a little of the chip salsa to each which added to the flavor. I thought the rice and beans were well done as well. I did try some of my sons Mole Enchiladas. They had a chocolate flavor. He enjoyed them. The music, the decor and the layout are done nicely. You are able to freely talk at your table and not over hear people at the tables beside you. So kudos to that. I did enjoy my time spent here last night for dinner. Thank you Marcus, Sam, the staff and Mexican Sugar for a wonderful memory. read more

This location is super nice! This is my second time ever coming to a Mexican sugar and the food is so good! I got the chicken enchiladas and instead of the mole sauce I got queso sauce. I got the margarita and my sister got the sangria and both drinks were super good and strong. It's very sexy in here... Dim lighting... Super nice! Definitely will come again. read more

Traditionally a fan of Mexican sugar. This location has also good customer service with a minor issue of waiting a bit for the hostess as the hostess stand was empty when we arrived. Our waitress was very patient and kind. I ordered the shrimp tacos and Michelada which both were good in quality. Place was also beautifully designed. I highly recommend this location. read more

No waiting for a test for lunch in this Mexican oasis among a series of shopping spots. The wait staff was attentive and kind. My compadre and I keyed in on the same dish - hatch chili enchiladas. All of their food is made.from scratch in small batches, so the wait is longer than some places. However, the quality is superior. We both loved our lunches. We also ordered yucca fries and a queso Blanco, which were quite good. The interior was very nice and modern. It was not too loud. All seats are high chairs, which my wife would've hated if she'd been on the trip. For us, it was comfortable. The reason this was not 5 stars is that the taste was not what we expected and the prices were high. If you order hatch chili anything, you expect a little spice from the chilis.. I didn't taste the hatch chili in my entree. Question Blanco was a little bland despite it being much higher quality than what I get locally. It was $25+tip for 2 enchiladas, 1 queso, and a soft drink. I recommend giving them a shot. It is a very nice place with nice people. read more

This was my fourth visit, and once again Mexican Sugar did what it always does -- deliver food that tastes like it was made with pride and a little bit of flair. The ambiance has that relaxed, easy energy that makes you want to stay awhile. My absolute favorite is the striped sea bass -- tender, flavorful, and even better with their great selection of white wines. The chips are perfectly chippy (yes, I said it) and pair beautifully with their salsa. Whether you're meeting a group, catching up casually, or hosting a business get‑together, this spot hits the mark every time. Consistent, tasty, and effortlessly cool. read more

I visited this spot with a friend and my toddler for brunch last year, and the atmosphere did not disappoint. The space is absolutely gorgeous--thoughtfully designed, welcoming, and full of character. We were seated in the back area, which was perfect for families and larger parties. Meanwhile, the bar and more intimate dining spaces in the front were buzzing with energy. It was clear that the restaurant was thriving that day, and I loved the overall vibe. Our food arrived surprisingly fast, and we were able to relax, enjoy our meal, and have a great time. From the hostess who welcomed and seated us to the waiter who made sure everything was correct, the service was attentive and appreciated. Everything appeared to be running like a well-oiled machine, so shoutout to the management team for creating such a smooth experience. The reason for my 4-star rating comes down to the food. While the presentation was top-tier and looked incredible, the flavors didn't quite match the visual appeal. I also returned for dinner on another occasion and was disappointed by the fish tacos. That said, the atmosphere, service, and overall experience were strong enough that I'm willing to give this place one more try--perhaps for a future dinner date. I'm hoping the next meal lives up to the beautiful setting. read more

The first ever Mexican sugar I went to and was such a great experience that I like to visit this location from time to time even if it's farther for me to go to. The place was well done and very beautiful. I wish they had a more private dining experience away from the hustle and bustle sometimes but it's always worth it. The food I always get is always consistent and I love that about Mexican sugar. Same with the service never had a server that didn't seem like they didn't want to be there. read more

Here is another place I would have sworn that I had reviewed before, yet I got a reminder from Yelp to review them, so I double-checked and low and behold there was no review there from Kurt V,, so here it is... I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh! read more

This restaurant never fails! Hadn't been in awhile for no particular reason! We were seated pretty quickly for Friday evening. It was getting crowded. We sat on the patio. Our server was nice. The food didn't take long at all. I had sea bass salad with citrus salad. The bass was cooked good and flavorful. Very light! I had the sina colada which was non alcoholic. It was ok. I will definitely come back! read more

I finally branched out and got something other than the fish tacos. I got the carne asada tacos. The meat was cooked perfectly, though really under seasoned. Every time I have come here for the fish tacos I have felt the same. It is like they don't add salt to their proteins. I don't want it salty, but meat needs a little seasoning to make it pop. Also I got NO chimichurri off of that. They also came out so fast, I had just gotten chips and salsa and even the bartender commented on it. I want to like this place more than I do, because it is ALMOST there. I need to check out another location to see if this is just this location or how the brand, rolls. The decor is great and they have a nice patio. It was on the warm side when I was last there in July, and I was just sitting at the bar. They also don't have any purse hooks and the seats are rounded so you either have to take up another seat or put your handbag on the bar. read more

We recently dropped by on a Monday night. We were seated immediately since it was not as busy as it on the weekend. We started out with The Queso Flamado. It was a great presentation being torched at the table side, It was a little heavy and oily and I prefer the Regular Queso. We also got the Tequila Shrimp Salad. For an entree, I got the Mesquite Grilled Beef Enchiladas. The Salad and the Enchiladas were tasty. We also got The Corn Elote. It just the right amount of cream and paprika. The Yucca Fries were the perfect level of crispiness. For dessert, we got The Flan and The Churros. You can't beat the Churros with all the different dipping sauces. The ambience is casual upscale but you will be fine wearing jeans there. We will definitely come back. read more

You will not find a better restaurant to bring kids. They have a hallway where they tend to sit people who have kids. There's lots of space. And you don't have to worry as much about being too loud or disturbing the tables without kids. They give crayons with the menu. The kids menu is great. Beyond that, the margaritas are delicious. I highly recommend the squash blossom quesadillas. Everything I have ordered here is great. The service is also very good. Sometimes, I wonder why I ever go anywhere else. This place checks all the boxes for a large family with small kids. read more

Came here for a lunch and was really impressed. Very open, upbeat and clean dining area. It's a big space, so can be loud.

Service was fabulous - as was the entire experience. read more

10/10 experience at Mexican Sugar. Food was amazing, drink was also great a lil too sour for my liking but others may enjoy it. If I'm not mistaken it was called La Catrina. Vibes once it hit 8pm all lights were dimmed down and you can just enjoy your partners company. read more

Sat at the bar for dinner by myself while staying at a nearby hotel. They had so many employees behind the bar and running around the restaurant. Everyone I interacted with was great and took care of me. The margarita was delicious and the chips and salsa were unique. The salsa was a warm salsa and more like a mole than a traditional salsa. The enchiladas were large and pretty good but nothing special. The side of elote was also large and I couldn't even finish it. It was full of flavor and the perfect side to go with my meal. The restaurant was packed with a huge line outside waiting but the bar had plenty of open seats. I would come back for sure. read more

This was my first time coming to Mexican Sugar, and it did not disappoint! We visited on a Thursday at 8 PM and were seated right away. The decor is pretty and gives off an upscale vibe. There also seemed to be a private room, not sure if it's available for event reservations. And the service was super quick and friendly. The spicy marg was nothing special in my opinion, but still good. My sister ordered the horchata with a shot of vodka, which I thought was a fun little twist. For my meal, I ordered the roasted chicken enchiladas, and they were delicious! The green rice that it came with was incredibly flavorful. There's a large parking lot right in front of the restaurant. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my first visit here and would totally come again! I highly recommend! read more

What a beautiful restaurant! If you're looking for a cute date night or even a girls dinner, this is the place to go. The lighting is moody, and on the darker side and the restaurant itself is large but it gets so busy that it does feel tight when walking around. We attended a private party in one of the rooms, which was closed off from the rest of the restaurant. Overall a great space for the ~37 people and even a space open for a guitarrist. The room itself did get a little warm and dark, but it was a very intimate feel. The acoustics was definitely a little rough, since we weren't able to hear each other very well with the noise from the rest of the party or when the doors opened and the rest of the restaurants noise filtered in. Service for the most part was not bad, refills had to mainly be requested since they stopped quickly by each table and rather than check with everyone it was a "refill?" and quickly walk away. Bar orders from the servers went a lot more smoothly. The food was not bad, to be expected for the area. We had great chips and salsa with queso and guacamole to start. You honestly can't go wrong. The cesar salad was okay and the enchiladas were not too bad. I was a huge fan of the refried black beans and my husband was a huge fan of the cilantro lime rice. The steak in the enchiladas were a little too well done and another party goer had some chicken fajita that the knife would not cut through because it was so overcooked. Overall the food was okay. This is definitely a vibes and drinks place read more

Update! After a manager saw my review they wrote to me and said to come back in and that he'd love to make up for it. We tried them again and everything was excellent in every way!

"These are the best fajitas I've ever had." My husband is obsessed with this restaurant. First time, and we had no issue getting a table on a Saturday night even though it looked the parking lot was FULL. It seems like it's always pretty full so don't let that deter you. The complimentary chips and hot salsa are so addictive. Salsa served warm was a new experience for me and it's far superior. It has a little marinara taste and I'm assuming cheese in it? There's a stringy part of the salsa. 10/10. I had pescado tacos and my husband had the steak and chicken fajitas. The tacos were ok - a little fishy and the pieces of fish were HUGE so there is no way I could finish 3. I wouldn't get them again but if you're a die hard fish person, you'll like them. The fajitas were fantastic. Meat was great and the steak was grilled perfectly. Very nice upscale Mexican restaurant with dim lighting and great for groups or a 2 person dinner. read more

We had a delightful experience at Mexican Sugar. We were a party of 13 and they were ready to go at our reservation time. The table was large enough and the space comfortable. This restaurant is really large and it was packed on a Wednesday night but they did a great job managing it all. Our server was efficient. She wasn't the friendliest server I've ever experienced but she was consistent and everything came out as expected. The food itself was very good and there were good portion sizes.

In town for just two nights and was in the mood for Mexican food and stopped by. Arrived at 8:15pm on a Tuesday night and was surprised at how busy they were. Huge restaurant with tons of people inside. Massive parking lot and had to park far away to find an open spot. Impressive inside decor, very elegant and upscale. One advantage of being such a big restaurant they can EASILY accommodate a big group. Walked in and enjoyed hearing the Spanish pop music (I am fluent in Spanish). Despite being busy and didn't have to wait for a table. I was impressed with how attentive the staff was. My server stopped by several times to check on me and she had a helper that also stopped by frequently. Ordered the lump crab enchiladas and absolutely LOVED the dish. Only $24 and it came with a generous amount of crab. Fresh corn tortillas and a delicious green sauce. It came with black beans and they were perfectly seasoned (black beans can be real bland if you don't know how to prepare them, they obviously do!). The rice was also delicious. It was dark inside and I was trying to figure out what was DIFFERENT about their rice. Asked my server, there is some chimichurri sauce in it! Had to order dessert and I got the coconut tres leches. It was topped with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. The coconut was a little different for a tres leches cake but it worked and was delicious. Had an amazing dinner. This is a chain with a few locations ONLY IN TEXAS. She wish they would come to Seattle!!! read more

I've been to Mexican Sugar before, but this was my first time visiting the Las Colinas location--and bringing coworkers who'd never been. The food and drinks were just as good as I expected, and the atmosphere was perfect for a casual group dinner. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is our server. She wasn't rude, just seemed rushed the entire time. She didn't offer any helpful recommendations and didn't really engage with us. It wasn't bad service, just not memorable. Still, a solid spot I'd return to--just hoping for a more attentive experience next time. read more

We came to celebrate my sister in laws birthday and everyone complained about the seasoning. The service was great, good timing and the waitress was nice. The ambiance was great but outside seating was too hot. I had the mole enchiladas, it came with rice and beans. The beans and rice were bland and tasteless. Literally the worst rice and beans I've ever had. The mole was not good either. After experiencing this, I asked around if it was just me or if everyone had the same issue. Everyone said the same thing. I asked around to give a rating from 1-10 and everyone said less than a 5. The place looks good but it was very disappointing. read more
