My friends and i went here for Cinco De Mayo. Our server was great and he definitely knew the menu and what to recommend. He didn't rush us and was very considerate. The Ahi Tuna Taquitos were so good we ordered another plate!! We also got (not pictured) Smoked Brisket Sopes, Chicken Verde enchiladas, Chicken fajitas, Portobello Mushrooms (VG), Tacos de Coliflor. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Unfortunately, our lunch experience was not very good. This was our first time visiting Muchacho's at this location, and it was quite disappointing. The queso fundido arrived cold, as if it had been sitting in the kitchen for a while before being brought to our table. In addition, our server rarely checked on us throughout the meal, which made the experience even less enjoyable. We have previously dined at the Muchacho's location in Southlake, where both the food and service were impeccable. Based on this visit, we are not sure we will return to this location. read more

Best Mexican food in Dallas, can't believe this place is below 4 stars on Yelp, but being in Highland park tends to have some very picky reviewers. Fajitas were great and not greasy like Las Palmas. Mi Cocina tastes like dog food compared to this. Drinks and service were high quality as well. We'll be back read more

Sunday dinner at Muchacho. Appreciated that they honored my request on the reservation for a booth. It seemed important to them to get it right and that shows a lot of customer focus. Service by Jose was excellent. We had the brisket flautas, and the beef fajitas. Presentation on both was outstanding. The brisket flautas is a large serving while the fajitas are actually a reasonable portion (but would be considered small compared to other restaurants). Perfectly crunchy flautas, but the brisket itself was a bit bland. Likewise, the steak fajitas were cooked, a perfect medium rare and tender enough to cut with your fork but again very bland. Just thought they needed some salt or seasoning of some type. For the price they charge ($34), the fajitas should be exceptional in my opinion. Homemade tortillas are excellent. Enjoyed the rice and beans and the guacamole on the side. read more

Everything was excellent--beautiful restaurant, attentive staff, and amazing food. Make your reservation without hesitation! They started us off with chips and two salsas--verde and roja--and both were equally delicious. I ordered the Combo #Juan, and there was so much food I was ready for bed afterward! But the unanimous winner at our table was the La Chilanga. If you're trying to decide what to order, don't skip it. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great service and delicious food. These are some of the best fajitas in Dallas. Their queso is also some of my favorite. The staff is always lively and friendly. I do wish their mocktails could be better priced ... they're $15, so almost as much as their famous margaritas. The vibe is elevated casual, and it's usually a busy spot on the weekends. read more

Muchacho - Fajitas spread and queso - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great food, great service! Our neighborhood Tex-Mex spot for fajitas, chicken enchiladas, and fish tacos!

When in Dallas, find a bougie Tex-mex restaurant!! Came here for a friend's 60th birthday party and it was fabulous, just like her!! The restaurant itself is a bit tight but loved the decor and big windows all through the place. Plenty of parking as it's part of a connected space. Our waiter was on point and helped our party of 12 navigate through the menu flawlessly, even the gluten free couple felt comfortable ordering without prejudice!! The complimentary chips and salsa were def handmade and has a kick, so watch out! The margaritas were strong, cold, and perfect. The tamarindo was my go to and the ghost pepper had a slight heat but I could've had 5 of those babies, no problemo!! Queso was straight cheese, eat it fast cuz it'll harden. The hamachi Agua chile was more Asian style in my opinion, but very good. The brisket sopas were the fan favorite!! Ended up ordering a second serving!! Steak/shrimp Fajitas & brisket taquitos were a hit!! The shrimp were massive and loved the fresh tortillas!! They were kind enough to let us bring in our own cake, so we didn't try any dessert, but everything looked lovely!! Will def hit them up again when in town!! There is a Southlake location which is closer that I will also need to check out, plus I read they have a happy hour. Woohooo!! read more

We hit up Muchacho on Sunday, February 1st, for brunch, and it was a great choice! Started with the brisket sopes as an appetizer--super tasty and a nice way to kick things off. The complimentary chips and salsa were delicious; I preferred the red sauce over the green, but that's just personal taste. Drinks were decent--solid margs and cocktails--but a bit on the pricey side. Understandable for the upscale vibe and location in Preston Center. For the main, the pork belly fajitas were amazing--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and juicy. The rice and beans on the side were just right, not overdone or bland. Totally recommend this place for brunch or anytime you're craving elevated Tex-Mex. The food and atmosphere make it worth it. Only downside: the restrooms are limited--just 2 toilets for the whole restaurant. Not sure how that's up to code with how busy it gets, but it didn't ruin the experience. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu! read more

I have to say...this place was amazing!! Our service, drinks, food, desserts, coffee were amazing!! I think I had the best tres leches cake I've ever had!!!!! I'll definitely be back for that. It was packed when we got there but gladly one of my girlfriends made reservations weeks in advance and the earliest we could get was 8 pm which was fine they sat us right away and service was great! I had to try two different plates bc why not I wasn't sure the pozole verde would be filling enough for me so I ordered that it's sooo good definitely recommend! And I also ordered tacos al carbon - don't worry I took some home but I wanted a taco too. We had the como la flor and chefs kiss or should I saw bartenders kiss it was good!! We also had coffee - not all places have good coffee for dinner and this was definitely good they brought is some creamer too. Now the tres leches - everyone order it! I don't care if you don't like it - it's soo good! It has a hint of pineapple- which I loved! The whipped cream was homemade you could tell and the coconut flakes . It was a little pricey but we knew were going to a nice place and didn't mind. I saw a lot sitting outside and it was like 30-40 degrees so I assume they felt warm enough to sit outside I also saw lots of blankets out there. They also hand cute matches as compliments in the front instead of mints - I love matches from any restaurant so that was nice too. read more

Muchacho is always one of our favorites. The Ahi Tuna Tostadas are great, very fresh and flavorful. We went with an order of the chicken and steak fajitas, both were delicious. We ordered the steak fajitas medium as they tend to be rarer than what you order. Our waiter, Clint, was amazing, we never had an empty glass, never had to ask for anything. He made it a very fun and enjoyable trip with some great recommendations as well. Overall, great dinner, will be back. read more

I don't know why the reviews for Muchacho are so bad because this place is awesome. The vibe is great, the cocktails are ON POINT, the food is delicious and the service is quick and speedy. Chip refills come before you even ask, they're taking drink orders and bringing drinks at a good pace, no long delays while you're waiting for food. Food wise you really can't go wrong, Guacamole makes a great starter, the ahi tuna taquitos and the hamachi aguachile are also great starters. The shrimp and octopus tacos are great, the enchiladas are solid, rib eye carne asada was perfectly cooked, and dessert wise you can't go wrong with the tres leches! read more

Great food. Had the Tacos Al Carbon and they were wonderful. The quality of meat was great and cooked perfectly. Includes three. Loved the salsa. Both red and green were great. Nice decor and great patio. This is a popular spot so be patient or get a reservation. Bar is nice and you can eat at the bar. read more

Muchacho Dallas .... Fall patio vibes with repeat potential Muchacho Dallas on a breezy Sunday afternoon was an instant vibe! I chose patio seating to soak in the nice weather & good energy. I started with the chips & salsa, which came out fresh and crisp: Tip* mix both salsas together...and its a perfect pairing Then came the Picadillo Empanadas: spiced beef picadillo, oaxaca cheese, avocado crema, pickled red onions, and pepitas. Let me just confess that the pickled red onions were the star of the show, hands downs. The only miss for me was the inside of the empanadas. Unfortunately ,a little too doughy for my taste. I was hoping for more crunch to match the flavor. Next up were the Steak Nachos: generously topped with refried beans and cheese but a little light on chips. They came with guac, sour cream, and taqueria-style pickles. Flavor of the steak was pretty good , but for $20, I expected a bit more Wowwww factor. Overall, Muchacho has the vibes, the service was chill, and the setting is perfect for a weekend unwind. I'll definitely give it another try. However, next time, I'll be sticking with the classics like enchiladas or tacos. #MuchachoDallas #DallasEats #SundayVibes #PatioSeason #FoodieFinds #DallasBrunch #TacoLover read more

First time here. Chips & salsa are good! The music playing overhead is great for the setting! The seating is a bit crowded as this place is popular. We had a 30 min wait on a Tuesday for dinner! The staff is accommodating & friendly! I ordered the steak nachos. The steak was dry in some places but otherwise good taste. I was served a portion of cauliflower pickled. This is new to me. Overall the food is good. read more

I stumbled across this place for dinner on a Saturday night and it was packed! There was about a 20 minute wait, which wasn't bad considering all the people waiting. They were turning tables fast. Service was really good! I had a delicious margarita (I think it was the house one), amazing queso (seriously it was like a BOWL of queso and it was outstanding), and mole enchiladas which were superb! As someone from Southern California, I liked this Mexican food wayyy more than Tex Mex. Definitely would come back! read more

My man and I could only remember the place with the good queso. We visited a Mexican restaurant 2 years ago and raved about the queso. As we hemmed and hawed about where to eat, we remembered the place with the queso. We googled Mexican Restaurant with the best queso. We guessed this must be the place and we were CORRECT! The QUESOOOO. Our dishes were great. The service was spot on. My man said the Old Fashioned was well balanced...and he will send a drink back fast. lol. We give it a 9/10...because you know...can a restaurant really be 10/10. lol read more

So, here's the lowdown on this place.... The food is fantastic. I ordered their brisket tacos and their Muchacho house salad. Both phenomenal! This crazy packed environment can get to you. Lovely atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant, but too hectic. Very popular place! The service fell short. I felt very rushed, during the process. I understand that we were given a limited amount of time to enjoy this place, 90 minutes, which is ok. If you don't mind the chaotic scene, then this place is for you. I enjoyed the food. Flavorful, delicious, tasty, the whole nine yards, perfect. 4 Stars! Cheers and Enjoy!!! read more

Had a great experience at Muchacho! The atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed meal. The standout for me was the cauliflower tacos -- incredible flavor, great texture, and surprisingly hearty. Definitely a must‑try! Their non‑alcoholic drinks were also refreshing and really well made, with bright, balanced flavors that paired perfectly with the food. Overall, a delicious and enjoyable visit. Highly recommend! read more

Food was great. Some of the best borracho beans in the metroplex. Service was well attended and friendly. Great ambience

Muchacho is a cute upscale-casual Tex-Mex restaurant. Or send to be very popular with the locals. It was pretty crowded. I had to wait for a seat at the bar. I saw one review that suggested making a reservation. I agree. They have a pretty nice selection of margaritas. I had the spicy margarita. It was good. There were two obvious vegetarian options: rojo enchilada and cauliflower tacos. The bar tenders were very busy so I didn't want to ask a bunch of questions, but I did ask which of those items was recommended. The couple next to me and bar tender suggested the tacos. The portion was large, and the food was delicious! Next time I'm in Dallas, I'll go back. read more

We overall had a great experience at Muchacho's. We started off with a house margarita, a skinny margarita, and their queso. The house margarita and queso were excellent; however, we were not a huge fan of the skinny margarita (it tasted pretty bland). We then split the combo beef/chicken fajitas, which were fantastic. The fajitas came with great toppings, tortillas, and made for an overall great meal. The service and atmosphere here was also friendly. This has been one of the better Tex Mex places I've had in DFW and I am likely to come back. read more

It's a crime that Muchacho doesn't have higher ratings. The only thing I can think of is that they don't want everyone to know how great it is. THE BEST TEX MEX IN DALLAS HANDS DOWN. BEST MARG, SERVICE EVERYTHING! Me and everyone I know comes here all the time because it's so great. read more

Muchacho - Carne asada of my dreams - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've been a regular at this restaurant for quite some time, which is why this experience was so disappointing!!!! I decided to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday here tonight with his family and our friends. Unfortunately, were treated unfairly and with zero professionalism. When my sister and I ordered drinks first, our server asked for both of our IDs. That's completely fine because I understand protocol. Keep in mind, we are both 22 and turning 23 soon. I have always gotten drinks here as well. The issue started when the server took our IDs to the back and returned with the manager, Carlos, who refused to serve us alcohol simply because we have the same birthday. We repeatedly explained that we are twin sisters, but he refused to listen or use any common sense. I asked for another manager to step in and help resolve the situation, but Carlos refused to provide any real assistance. We even offered to involve the police to verify our IDs because we knew we had done nothing wrong, yet they still refused to budge.... What should have been a special birthday dinner turned into an embarrassing and frustrating experience in front of our family and friends. As loyal customers, we expected far better treatment and professionalism. I am hoping to connect with the owner about this. This experience completely changed how I view this restaurant... read more

This was our first visit. Unfortunately, I was disappointed even after seeing such mixed reviews. Service was terrible. Although we had a friendly waiter he clearly had too many tables to give even basic service. Our appetizers showed up to the table before we were even given a glass of water and wasn't refilled until the end of the meal....After sitting down it took several minutes to be served chips and salsa. We began to think it wasn't complimentary and that you may have to order it as an appetizer. When someone finally stopped by the chips were salty, salty, which makes no sense to me... salsa's are always salty to balance a chip... Chips should not be. If you want salt, you can add it yourself. We both ordered fajitas. They were good but certainly nothing great. I think because the beans that were served were way over seasoned and left a strong chili powder taste in your mouth. Unfortunately wouldn't return despite the beautiful ambiance. read more

Extremely disappointed. My sister and I met up with our friends, party of 8, to get dinner and drinks. Mind you, I am of age, 22, and our server took our ID's to the back once we gave them to him. Moments later, the manager, Carlos, came out saying he didn't feel comfortable serving us because our ID's had the same birthday. Mind you, they have the same birthday because my sister and I are TWINS. I kept reiterating that we could call the cops and sort it out because we are very much giving real ID's. He wouldn't budge and was very disrespectful to our entire party. I was excited to try the food because I've heard such good things but the manager of the establishment is extremely dismissive and disgusting towards white women. It was definitely a power imbalance because my twin and I are two white girls. Also, a basic ID scanner would have told them that we were of age but clearly they don't understand how to tell the difference between a real and a fake. It is illegal to deny a person service because you "assume" it's not real, that's not legally acceptable. The parents I was with were FURIOUS and were trying to speak with the manager and he was extremely rude to them as well. read more

We were seated right away and the chips and salsa arrived shortly after. We ordered drinks and then talked to waiter about suggestions. We ordered a chile relleno, fish tacos, and a steak. Service and food were fantastic! read more

Just as other reviews have stated, their service is incredibly rude and they rush their customers to finish quickly so that they can seat more people. I understand restaurant economics, but it's truly unacceptable to treat your paying customers like they're a burden and rush them out! Additionally, water was spilt on my purse while sitting at the bar and the female bartender with long blonde hair didn't even acknowledge it or provide napkins. She also told me the wrong price for my margarita and refused to honor the price she said. Unless you're Jerry Jones, don't expect to be treated well here. This is a very pretentious establishment that lacks the fundamentals of hospitality. RUDE all around service, hectic atmosphere, and mediocre food - I recommend going somewhere else. read more

Muchacho - I guess my order wasn't expensive enough for them so they rushed us out of our seat for a bigger party. So incredible rude! - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Ahi Tuna Taquitos, Pollo Perfecto, Chile Relleno Absolute perfection. We came for lunch on a Friday on the most beautiful day, and sat out on the patio. The chips are to die for, which such yummy salsas. My dining companion mentioned that these chips will hold up for an entire month even--just pop them in a zip lock bag or Tupperware and they magically stay fresh. The ahi Tuna taquitos were phenomenal and so flavorful I couldn't get enough. The Pollo perfecto truly lives up to its name--so amazingly tender and juicy, with all the flavors soaked in. The Chile relleno was delicious too. Great service, obsessed with this place and so grateful it's within walking distance for me! read more

Always enjoy Muchacho! The food and service is very good!! Keeps me coming back. The only thing I am not really fond of is the hostess that circulates throughout your meal . I am sure she is there to be sure you don't go over your allotted time, but is somewhat annoying all the same. But luck for me I didn't want to spend over and hour and a half, unlike the table close by. 2 people let and they moved the other 2 people to another table . Seemed odd but I guess that's life read more

We had a reservation in advance, and were immediately seated upon arrival. Service was excellent from the start. We ordered guacamole and a salad for an appetizer which I both highly recommend. The chips are crispy and perfectly salted so expect to eat at least a basket! We ordered the fajitas for our entrees and I must say they're the best fajitas we've had in awhile. The steak was grilled to perfection as well as the chicken. We will be back soon! read more

Saturday night and this place was hopping! Stopped by a littler early for our reservation and grabbed a seat at the U-shaped bar which was totally full. The packed bar gave fun, weekend night vibes saying people were glad to be out and about. Service was prompt, consistent, and knowledgeable. Food was not super noteworthy and has a lot of competition with other Mexican restaurants in the area. Service and ambiance (both excellent) would be bigger draws for a return trip over flavors. read more

Good food. Inexperienced, immature management. Confronted with a resolvable issue, the manager became confrontational and when asked for her name escalated the situation by answering "manager" instead of her name. Easily solvable issue escalated by her inability to communicate followed by our departure from the restaurant. She should be replaced by a competent person with intellectual, verbal and cognitive skills to communicate with customers effectively. read more

Horrible first impression! Once we walked in we asked for a table for two and were immediately sat. They sat is directly behind the host stand by the front door but instead we asked if we could possibly move into the main dining room. The lady rolled her eyes at us and said they were full. I said I can see two booths that are open and she said without looking at us, sorry those are taken for a 1:00 reservation. It was 12:05! We sat down for 15 minutes to wait then finally I went back to the host stand and complained that now there were three tables open and they have time to accommodate us and still be fine for their 1:00. After all that we sat down and ordered queso, two waters and we split the steak fajitas for $60!!! Chips and salsa were the best thing we had. Beans were so salty they were uneatable. The steak was very chewy and tasted like straight propane. The place was decorated really nice and had a good vibe but horrible experience! Will not be back. read more

This is an upscale Mexican restaurant that puts its own twist on the menu. Although the food was good, it was the margaritas that were the star of the show when I visited. My colleagues and I enjoyed a lovely meal with top shelf drinks that the staff was happy to keep coming. I ordered some grilled chicken tacos that were very tasty. The chicken was moist and flavorful without being overpowering. The chips and salsa were also good, although a tinge hot for me (I'm a wimp!) Overall, good restaurant with a decent menu.
