Always great at Mia's! Have been eating here for over 30 years. My wife "Mrs. Picky" says they have the best cheese enchiladas in Dallas. Be sure to ask for onions on top. I love the sour cream chicken enchiladas myself. All good!

Breakfast Quesadilla

This is my parents favorite. We always go when they visit. The photos are from 2 different trips. I went for breakfast and another time for lunch. All of it was amazing. They have amazing free chips and salsa. Staff is wonderful. I absolutely love this place.

Chips & (cold) Salsa
Adam H.

This joint is quintessential Tex-Mex. Kitsch on the walls and a menu full of stuff that includes the same 3-4 ingredients. Cold, spicy salsa. Even colder bottled beer. The service here was great on my visit. The atmosphere, albeit a little crowded, was comfy. As I do with my first visit at any Tex-Mex joint, I order the combo plate. I was very pleased with it here. The taco was crunchy with nicely seasoned (non-greasy) ground beef and lettuce and cheese served on the side (I told them no tomatoes). The tamale had a wonderful brisket-like filling, although there was a little too much masa for me. The cheese enchilada was filled with actual cheese, which is a good (if not rare) thing these days. The chili con carne topping was wonderful, as was the rice -- which is among the most perfectly cooked that I have ever experienced in a Tex-Mex joint. The refried beans were run-of-the mill. I must say that the enchilada tortillas are firmer than most. Not necessarily bad, but they definitely don't par-fry these things before rolling. I tend to judge Tex-Mex joints by their salsa. If it's served warm, I take points off the board. This stuff is served ice-cold and has a wonderful bite. Bottom line: If I lived here, I'd be a regular. Excellent Tex-Mex.

Stopped by for dinner the service was just ok and the food was a little bland super loud in the diner chips were super hard no parking had to valet overall just ok

Brisket tacos
Samuel J.

I came to Texas looking for Tex-Mex and Mia's did not disappoint. If you don't get anything else here you have got to try their brisket tacos! The service was excellent, he was very friendly and gave great recommendations in the menu. The salsa was home made and I wish I could've taken a jar home with me! I had one of the dinner specials and the chicken enchilada was really good! I also recommend the frozen mango margarita with tajin rim. Overall a great dining experience!

Great location off Lemmon Ave. the service was fast friendly and super polite. The food was hot and fresh and was a large portion. The prices were reasonable and they do have to go containers. I would recommend this location

I enjoyed my time at Mia's. The staff were very friendly starting at the valet and containing with our host and waitress. The ambiance inside is reminiscent of many classical tex-mex restaurants. We started off with a margarita along with queso and the complimentary chips and salsa. We then split the combo fajitas. Everything we had was good but I don't remember any of it being stand out. I appreciated the quick service, seating ability, and solid food at a reasonable price. Although I have had better fajitas/queso, Mia's is a great option for a casual Tex-Mex option and I would come back.

Paulette Plate
Mark M.

Wonderful time here. Love the welcome feeling once I enter. Wish more restaurants would be like this. Now this place is my go to place on the weekends. A special treat for myself. Keep up the great work.

Nachos
Timia W.

The place is very casual and homey. Feels like you're in the comfort of your family's house. Cute signs all over the place paying homage to the loved ones that the restaurant is dedicated to. Service was great and very fast! I had the half order of nachos with beef fajita meat. The portion size was good! The food was just okay. Felt like it lacked flavor overall and I found a hair in my food at the very end. It wasn't bad but it probably isn't a place I'd jump to return to.

The menu
Ciarra J.

It's tasty! I was busy eating so I didn't get a lot of pictures. You walk in and it's first come first serve. We had a party of 7 and waited about 20 minutes the place was hopping. We were sat and ordered Margaritas (Duh!) The frozen had some floater and was tasty and yummy. We enjoyed. We ordered guacamole, it was creamy, fresh, and tasty. They give you chips and salsa which the group thought was a little spicy so like an above medium. I ordered fish tacos that came with veggies and rice and beans. The fish was chopped up and a little dry but the veggies were flavorful and seasoned. It's a good spot, fun vibe, and tasty!

Brisket Tacos
Jen A.

I was told this is where you go to get the best brisket tacos in DFW and I have to say, Mia's did not disappoint. One warning is they do not have regular parking only valet parking. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was busy but we were seated quickly. It is clean and has a great atmosphere. Of course I ordered the brisket tacos and they are definitely the best brisket tacos I've had. The gravy that it's served with is absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back.

Two beef enchiladas + one ground beef taco with rice
Juana E.

Mia's Tex-Mex -- Flavor. Vibes. Perfection. Let me just say... Mia's never misses! From the moment I walked in, the place had that lively Tex-Mex energy ... warm, welcoming, and full of that "you're about to eat good" feeling. I kicked things off with the Half-Order Beef Nachos (no beans) :crisp, cheesy, and layered just right. Add sour cream and jalapeños on the side, and you've got the perfect start. Then came the main event :the Combination #3 (because one version just isn't enough): Plate 1: Two beef enchiladas + one ground beef taco with rice Plate 2: Two beef soft tacos + one sunset beef enchilada with rice Every bite was packed with flavor & seasoned perfectly, hearty, and made with that authentic Dallas Tex-Mex love. Our server was friendly, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly ....major plus! Overall: Mia's is that spot for anyone who loves great food, good people, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. Whether you're a local regular or just passing through go ahead and treat yourself. You'll thank me later. #TexMexHeaven #DallasEats #YelpEliteVibes #FoodieApproved

Chile Relleno
Sean C.

Came for dinner on a Tuesday to try their famous chile relleno. It was okay but was kind of disappointed. This was my first time having a chile relleno that out raisins and nuts inside which threw me off and I did not like this flavor. I usually love chile relleno but this one was not good to me.

I see that it has been more than 10 years since my last review so it is time for an update…read more We went here for a late lunch after attending an event at the American Airlines Center. There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.

E-bar might have just won the spot for the best TexMex chile relleno in my book (I was a die hard Chuy's fan before they quit selling them). The beans clearly have the pork grease (yum) and the rice was delicious. Even though the place was packed, we were told it'd be a 30ish minute wait, we were seated in less than 20 minutes. Our server came out quickly, brought us drinks, so attentive! We'll definitely return! What a fun little spot!

The staff and other patrons were all enjoying the game together--there's definitely a good community that comes to this restaurant regularly. As for the food, the portions are GENEROUS. Each guest gets their own dipping bowl of chips and salsa. We shared an appetizer and two meals, and still had plenty of leftovers. I highly recommend the fajita nachos, which come loaded with toppings. Their drinks are also very strong, so plan accordingly! With all the fun and food, I accidentally left my wallet and did not realize until the next day. The staff held the wallet in their lost and found, made sure to ask verifying questions, and asked me to confirm if all my belongings were still in the wallet before leaving. For this exceptional service, food, and vibes, I highly recommend.

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5. Loved the decor near the restrooms and patio too.
