A perfect meal with the exception of our waiter. Not sure if he was angry that we did it order drinks but he wasn't attentive and very cold at best. Otherwise, the manager and the ladies at the front were very nice. read more

Food is great. The pork fajitas were delicious! Service was great and the margaritas were strong! Great place!!!

5+ stars for service! The staff was very attentive and very kind from the phone call for reservations to being served. I sat outside on a warm midday in July but the shade and fans kept me cool enough. I had the red fish tacos and reg queso both had great flavor and quality. I shall return soon! read more

Muchacho - Red crusted fish tacos & regular queso - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time here. My family and I went in for a late lunch. The wait staff was professional and friendly. It appeared reasonably clean except for the clip on high chair they gave us for our toddler, which I understand that kids make a big mess, but it would have been nice to clean it off a little bit for us. Anyway, the circus started when we were ordering and I spied a MASSIVE cockroach (or maybe palmetto bug) on the wall to the right of us. The waiter tried to shoo it away from us, but it only drove it straight into our booth resulting in the roach falling onto MY BACK. My husband, in a desperate attempt to knock the roach off of me proceeded to smack me repeatedly with his menu while I held our toddler in my lap. Then somehow said insect ended up on my thigh where I had to brush it off onto the floor with my bare hand. My toddler shrieked in terror. I sat there sort of dazed for a minute. They comped my margarita so... yay? The food was better than average. I'd give it a 4.5, but with that stressful experience I can't give anything higher than a 2 :( read more

The ambiance is wonder but the food wasn't impressive. I ordered the pablano chicken mole but they brought me enchilada's instead. I didn't complain because they looked good but unfortunately the chicken was dry and I wasn't impressed. My wife ordered the steak fajitas and they are supposed to be known for them. Again we were not impressed. I would rather come here for a cocktail hour than their food. read more

The ambience is wonderful, the service is excellent. Erika takes excellent pride in her job and has us spoiled. Quentin and James are excellent, proficient managers. Our other favorite servers are Javier, Oliver, and Blake. Lorenzo is the best busser. In my opinion, this is the best Mexican restaurant in Dallas. read more

Ending the workweek with Fortaleza margaritas, appetizers, and great friends at Muchacho was an awesome decision! The waitstaff was amazing and attended to our every need. I never saw the bottom of my margarita glass through three rounds. Dennis, the General Manager, came by several times to thanks us for our visit and make sure everything was perfect... and it was! We purchased a bottle of Peju Sauvignon Blanc to take home and drank it on the patio watching the sun set. Thanks Muchacho for a great afternoon! read more

Great atmosphere, been here 3 times in the last month. The steak fajitas are one of if not the best fajitas in the area. Highly recommend.

Fellow old-time Dallasites will remember this space as the low-fat Eureka restaurant in the mid-1990s and then Taco Diner. These days it bears the name Muchacho, and the owners have done a fantastic job with the interior and exterior spaces. We visited for the first time on a Saturday night. Service was outstanding. Skinny and regular margaritas were top notch. The chips and salsa were both passable, and the food we tasted was decent. Every TexMex place is a little different and Dallas is a highly competitive market for this genre. We locals all have our own preferences when it comes to the style and preparation of the food itself. Would I personally come back to Muchacho? Yes, absolutely -- especially with friends who like it. Is it going to become one of my top TexMex favorites in the Metroplex? In all honesty, probably not. But I can easily see how it would be for others with different culinary tastes. read more

One of the best for appetizers I have had since moving to Texas. Service was fast and very professional! Highly recommend

Change of shift after spending $400 at 5:00 wanted to finish our margaritas and they asked us to leave table twice with 7 tables open outside. Zero class wont be back - good luck in this town (Great Food- Cocktails- Customer service) . Way too. many excellent tex-mex places within two miles. BYE read more

First I'd like to say the food and our waiter were both excellent. This review is fully to warn people that the restaurant is not taking covid precautions at all. We arrived early and were one of two tables and by the time we paid (which we wrapped up quickly once we began seeing the crowds) there were full tables everywhere without distancing. read more

Manager was extremely rude, condescending, and arrogant. Our party of 5 there for a birthday celebration got asked to leave not long after our dinner plates were picked up. Too bad because the food was good. There are multiple reviews I've now seen with others experiencing this same issue. Unacceptable behavior for a restaurant manager. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Cheese enchilada not good in my opinion. A solid glob of cheese inside the tortilla covered with chili can Carne and covering of solid yellow cheese. Only wanted one but had to take two. However management was kind enough to take the order off my bill. Might go back and try something else. read more

Don't miss out on the Relleno or Rojo enchilada! Fajitas would be great if seasoned better. The frozen margarita was delicious but tiny in comparison to their other beverages. We will be back to try more! read more

We eat here frequently. This are some really great things about this place but I am going to start with the negative first so we can get that out the way. Muchchao is very "exclusive." If you do not have a reservation you will never feel more unwelcome at a restaurant than this one. There are multiple people at the door but I am not sure what for because only one person can be seated at a time. The restaurant can be empty and they will tell you it is a 40 min wait. Additionally, they use Resy which sucks overall and particularly the waitlist part of the app. You join the wait list and they tell you to arrive at the posted time. However it also says they will text you when your table is ready. When you do arrive the "dream team" at the door will tell you your wait doesn't start until you arrive so guess what after thinking you were already waiting you get to wait another 40 mins!!! These shenanigans happen to us all the time yet we still keep coming... If you can make it past the door the rest will be wonderful. The waiters are simply delightful and the food is sooo yummy. Our favorite is the octopus tacos! They never over cook the octopus. The pozole soup is also lovely and so are the empanadas. Two other recommendations: Pollo perfecto and Tres Leches cake! I hope you can get past the disorganized seating process to get a taste of some truly wonderful food. read more

The chicken enchiladas were excellent! Loved the chips and dips and they had the best service!

Good ambiance, great service and the food was delicious! Jose waited on me and his enthusiasm about the menu was impressive. He made sure I knew the details about sourcing and the preparation process. read more

The food here is so good and they have great service. Definitely my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Dallas.

Recently my friends and I went to Muchacho and had a great time. Food was fresh and delicious. The best margaritas ever!! Very friendly and helpful staff. We chose to outdoor seating because inside was very loud we couldn't even hear ourselves. Overall a great experience. read more

This restaurant is SO good. I made a reservation and requested the patio and they sat us in a lounge nook. I watched them wipe down and clean the table before they sat us and they were intent on cleaning whenever a party left their table. After we sat, they immediately brought chips and salsa. Their green salsa is INCREDIBLE. We started with guacamole as an app and then ordered their Red Fish Tacos, Picadillo Tacos, and the Steak Tacos. We also ordered the Paloma, a Spicy Margarita and the Tamarindo Margarita. Everything was DELICIOUS. All the tortillas are made in house and they are so soft and delicious. Highly recommend. Great server too! read more

Food: 1.5/5.0 I've had plenty of chilaquiles and huevos rancheros in my life and the version at Muchacho's was the worst version I've ever tasted. The chilaquiles lacked depth of flavor and spiciness and was served with an underripe avocado and a small topping of queso fresco. The consistency of the tortilla strips was solid but that was the only positive from the dish. Also who only puts one egg on a chilaquiles dish? The huevos rancheros was a soggy mess and was essentially two tostadas covered with refried beans, cheese, sour cream and salsa. Again it was SOGGY and had terrible consistency and lacked flavor. We had to send back their red fish fish tacos because again they had ZERO FLAVOR and way too much cabbage to taco ratio. The fish needed to be grilled or blacked as the cornmeal coating was flavorless. The only item that was relatively tasty was the ahi tuna taquitos which were fresh, crispy and had a good combination of sweet & spicy notes and a bit of Asian flare. Overall a bad meal. Service: 3.0/5.0 Our waiter was friendly and relatively attentive but the low point was management who wasn't that professional or apologetic until right when we were leaving after paying our bill. He seemed like a newbie and a fish out of water in terms of how he handled the situation. Ambiance/Decor: 3.0/5.0 The seating is comfortable and the ambiance is pretty lively. That said it's not memorable or unique but at least the layout is nice and you don't feel squeezed in. Value: 2.0/5.0 The food quality and service for this area does not measure up to the price. Plenty of other better Tex mex and Mexican restaurants in the dfw area to choose from and sadly this one doesn't offer the value needed or expected for a restaurant in Preston center. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this golden nugget of a restaurant. The food is much to boast about. The staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The dishes are top notch. In my opinion the place is like cheers where everybody knows your name. If you haven't been then you are really missing out. read more

We had a birthday celebration here for two of my girlfriends. Everything was great until the manager came over and asked us to leave because we had been there too long! He said "his hands were tied" because there was another party who had arrived that had reservations. That is BS! In over 40 years of living and eating at restaurants in Dallas, I have NEVER been asked to leave! And on top of that, we had just left $100 tip for the waiter for a $250 bill. However, I have been asked to wait many times even though I had reservations, being told that they had no control over how long people stay. I have even seen managers watching people that were just sitting there talking and drinking water! But yet, they didn't ask them to leave! The food and service was actually good here but I will certainly never return! read more

Love this place. The food is fantastic and great ambiance. Definitely recommend the queso fundido and fajitas. Every app I've had is great. Service is always good too! read more

I visited this location on a Sunday afternoon looking for a margarita and dinner. I saw the low reviews but decided to give it a chance. Well that was a mistake. There was a guy and lady working the front desk, and they were both rude. I understand times are hard in the industry, but I walked away feeling gross. I visit several restaurants per month. I would recommend this place to anyone I know. Sad that they have to treat people that way. read more

Decided to go to Muchacho after a nice experience the first time. The service and food was good the first time and completely horrible the second time. Spent 100 dollars for cold and mediocre food and slow service. The restaurant itself looks nice, but would you really flip a coin on whether the food and service will be good? Called the manager and let him know about my experience and received nothing more than a generic response. Plenty of better options in Dallas. Don't be fooled by the beautiful decor. Go try a nice hole in the wall mom and pop place that actually has good tortillas. Never again! read more

We had such a fun night at Muchacho's (first visit) this past Wednesday and wanted to share the experience. Yo Yo (nickname) was our server; he did an Outstanding job! The chips and salsa were great as well as the Margarita's we had prior to dinner. Our entrees (pictured below) were of very good quality and enjoyed by all. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very well done and the other guests seemed to be having a great time too. Dennis Eggert (the GM) stopped by and talked with us before we exited. We would certainly come back for a return visit and ask for Yo Yo to serve us again. Kudos to all! read more

Decor is gorgeous. I love all the details. They truly did a wonderful job making you forget about Taco Diner. The food is Expensive capital E! Same prices as R&D and Hilstone....so you can argue that the real estate justifies the prices. I do have a problem paying that price point for Mexican when we have so very many good options in town. There are next to no vegetarian options. A total of 3 things when I asked the waitress. Everything we ordered was for sure good. Elevated Mexican/ TexMex. I will come back but preferably when I can pay with my work expense account. Also the top shelf margarita wasn't anything to write home about. Gotta have a killer margarita in this town! read more

We live in the neighborhood and decided to stop in for a Margarita. We like sitting at the bar and found a couple of seats, where we were promptly greeted and served. While the 2 drinks in the 1 shaker were being shaken we noticed an unusual amount of flies. Flies. Flies. Flies, everywhere. The bar has a serious fly problem. The drink garnishings are uncovered with flies landing on them, and we noticed the chips served to the other patrons sitting at the bar had flies landing on their chips, but nobody seemed to care. Well, when my drink was served, behold there is a fly drowned in tequila. They promptly agreed to remake the 1 drink, I said both drinks need to be remade since they were the same and were made in the same shaker. I get it, restaurants have flies but there were too many. Besides the fly Margaritas are $16 each. I think I will go elsewhere for a lower priced Margarita, without flies next time. read more

The best way to describe it is upscale Mexican. The ambience reminds me of a steak house. Some other customers were even wearing suits and blazers. The food was excellent- their black beans are vegetarian which is great. We ordered the huevos rancheros - if you eat eggs I definitely recommend it for brunch. We also got the fajitas with mushroom- seasoning and texture were on point. Unfortunately the margaritas were not as good- they look better than they taste! read more

Muchacho - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Overly priced dishes and spirits that lack presentation and flavor. Service is everywhere but they all seem to lack an understanding of how to listen to orders, because everything we ordered came out incorrectly. There are other nearby options that aren't as expensive, taste better and have better service. Hopefully this place will learn to tweak things for the better and bring their coat down if they want to keep a loyal crowd. read more
