We went to Muchacho for the first time in June 2026, having been told about this place a while back. Sleeping on that suggestion made us feel like morons after coming here. Dakota took great care of us the minute we were seated. His attention, professionalism, and friendliness makes him stand out in the service industry. He told us before we even ordered that we would be back and that we could ask for him in the future. He was right. We will be back and we will ask for him. The food was incredible. Chips with two delicious salsas came out first. The green tomatillo salsa was our fave, but the red also delivered. We split an order of delicious empanadas for a starter. The hearty empanada shell contained a surprisingly tender picadillo enhanced by avocado and some crema. Hands down delicious. For our main, we spilt the octopus fajitas. These were extraordinary. The meat was tender and perfectly marinated, not chewy or rubbery at all. The tortillas were made in house and also not too thick or heavy. I recommend having the octopus as close to Spanish style as you can with just the grilled onions and peppers in the taco you make. No cheddar cheese or sour cream, please. The menu read like a treasure chest of Mexican food and we will be back, providing Dakota is working and able to have us over for dinner. Thank you, Muchacho for an excellent first experience. read more

I'd always heard great things about Texas food, but after spending a week there, we struggled to find a good meal until the day before we left, when we discovered Muchacho. Everyone in my family loved their food. The octopus tacos are a must-try, and the fish tacos were a definite 10/10. Just a heads-up: the salsa is incredibly spicy! The rice was also delicious. We were disappointed to find this place so late in our trip because it would have easily become our go-to spot for the rest of our stay. read more

Came here on a rainy Saturday evening and was able to find parking close by. We put our names down at 7:08 and were told a 45-minute wait, but we almost left and ended up staying, our table was ready in 8 minutes. That's a pretty big difference, and I feel like giving such a wide estimate can lose them customers. We were seated in their outdoor covered area and Dakota was our server. He was great and really made the dining experience better. He gave solid recommendations on food and timing for ordering. We started with chips and two types of salsa , classic tomato and a verde. Both were flavorful. The chips tasted fresh with big pieces, though some were saltier than others. For food, we got the classic queso to start, then cheese enchiladas with mole sauce (no onions) and chile con carne enchiladas. The mole was really flavorful, refried beans were good, and the rice was fluffy. I didn't have a drink, but the house margarita on the rocks and grapefruit margarita were both enjoyed, I tried a sip of each and they were strong. Overall, I'm glad to have found a solid Tex-Mex option in the area. Southlake Town Center is also nice to walk around before or after dinner. read more

We had a wonderful time at Muchacho Southlake, a cozy spot inside the Town Square area. Highly suggest getting reservations; they have a limit of 6 but will make exceptions, as they did for us. A lively crowd--this wasn't a quiet spot, more a night-on-the-town vibe, plenty of folks having a good meal and time. The food was fabulous, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service by Ryan was attentive & surprisingly quick. I had the Cornmeal Redfish tacos with the pickled slaw on homemade tortillas, all very good. Others had pork shank, fajitas, chili relleno with rice and beans, and they all loved it. The standouts were the Mexican rice and Old Fashioned; both were as good as I've had anywhere. The rice, just like Abuela would serve you. After the meal, Paul the owner came and checked on us. Really nice touch to finish off the night. We passed on dessert, a group choice, certainly not mine. read more

Food is always good, I typically order fajitas or mole enchiladas. I also highly recommend their green pozole. Recently tried their shrimp tacos, and they were okay but I prefer their steak fajitas and tacos. I was also not a fan of their brisket sopes, a bit too much masa for my preference. My sister has a food allergy and every server we've had is always super accommodating and takes time to ask kitchen staff about any dish she's interested in having. The atmosphere is noisy, but in a nice way. Super chatty and good music. We come a few times a month and we're never disappointed! read more

We tried Muchacho's tonight and it was really good! The wait to get in was about 45 minutes, but it was definitely worth it. I had the Ahi Tuna Taquitos and these things were small but mighty! They were seriously the tiniest little tacos, but they delicious. I would absolutely order them again as my meal because they were that good. The sauce that came with them was amazing and really tied everything together. My husband ordered the Suadero tacos and they were delicious too. The flour tortillas were on point, the brisket was cooked perfectly, and everything inside worked really well together. The borracho beans on the side were also great. We lucked out with a beautiful Texas spring evening and got seats on the patio, which we really enjoyed. It's a cute patio with super comfortable chairs, and it's a great spot to watch the passerby's. Service started a little slow, but once we ordered the food came out quickly and everything tasted so delicious. Another Saturday night trying somewhere new and this is definitely one we'll go back to! read more

Service attentive but not overbearing, atmosphere, location, and ambiance is totally Texan and modern at the same time. Restaurant is a corner piece in a trendy snd upscale shopping center in Southlake Texas. They have a lovely patio when the whether is nice enough to open it up too. Try a spicy margarita or a cold beer. If your a wine lover they dont leave you out either. I suggest the pork belly fajitas or the shrimp tacos, but any protein and meat from Muchachos is grilled well and flavorful while letting the meat taste shine through. Do NOT LEAVE without their famous Tres Leches cake. Trust me. You will NOT be sorry. With lots of options in Southlake, Muchachos is a staple and local favorite for intimate dinners or large parties. read more

Wife and myself came here on a Sunday to meet up with my son and his gf. Got the table no problem to try out their lunch. The 2 things I have to say is their location is perfect in the middle of southlake. But hard to find parking on street, but garage is only a block away. And their service by our waitress was one of the best in some time. As far as food goes, the prices is a tad higher than average Mexican restaurant we've had, so I automatically had a higher expectation. There's really nothing bad on any of the food, other than the portion and lack of anything distinctive to say I can't wait to come back again. We've all ordered something different, but I got the combination to try out different things. The beans weren't bad, but the rice was dried and bland. Other enchiladas and others were just ok. Again, the service by out waitress is very professional, and the manager also walked around to greet each table, which was a nice touch. But even with the great location (used to be snuffer) and service, 3 stars is about the max I can described this experience. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Muchachos Mexican Restaurant, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Service: Our waiter, Jorge, was nothing short of amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and made several excellent recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. His knowledge of the menu and enthusiasm for the dishes were evident, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Food: The food was spectacular! Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. It's undoubtedly some of the best Mexican cuisine I've ever had. Management: Paul, the manager, took the time to visit our table to gather feedback and discuss the restaurant's mission and other locations. It was clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for him and his team, which added a personal touch to our visit. Overall Experience: From the warm welcome by the hostess to the exceptional service from Jorge and the attentive management by Paul, every aspect of our experience was remarkable. I wholeheartedly give Muchachos Mexican Restaurant a 10 out of 10 rating. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience! read more

Great food, I recommend the suadero tacos! Loved our server Dakota for his recommendations too! Great spot in Southlake.

I went here to celebrate my Fathers Birthday with my family. From the moment I walked in the hostess was smiling, welcomed me in & they sat me right away. Every time staff walked by the spoke, had food recommendations, & manager checked on us as well. The food was great, everyone loved it. We had enchiladas, a platter, & chicken fajitas. Loved how big the booths were, plenty of different seating options. The vibes were nice, great place to hangout for drinks or go eat & drink! I will definitely be back.!!! read more

Shout out to Alberto who made our time very much enjoyable! I wanted some good fajitas and stumbled on Muchacho a couple times during my search so I met with my sister on a Friday around lunch time. Muchacho is spacious with rustic charm, located directly behind Cheesecake Factory. We were immediately seated and started with the lunch dip sampler which comes with queso and guac. Not my favorite queso, kinda basic in taste but the guacamole was some of the best I've ever had and I surprisingly really enjoyed the pepitas on top. I decided on the angus flap steak and chicken breast fajitas and sis ordered the picadillo hard shell tacos. That fajita sizzle always gets me amped and these looked especially good along with the accoutrements I was ready to dig in. I will say, the quality of the fajita meat was great, tender, moist but unfortunately lacked flavor, they were good but not great and for the price($24) I expected way more. My sis said her tacos were passable but again nothing great. I ordered a tres leches to go but as I write this review about 2 weeks after I visited Muchacho , I honestly don't remember how it tasted so do with that what you will. This place was to pricey for just ok food, but again our server Alberto was awesome, very attentive and super friendly. It wasn't terrible but I don't see myself returning. read more

Everything I ordered was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere, service, food, and beverages. The only downside is the pricing. I've noticed Tex-Mex has become more expensive over the past few years in general. On the upside, you'll leave happy with your overall experience here. read more

Let's start with the interior. Place is immaculate and well designed. It screams come in and grab a seat and a drink. Great salsa - man this is true tex mex salsa. Awesome flavors you just dont get outside texas! Good brisket chili con carne - ordered this with a colleague and it was special. Flavors that just blew us away. Chili con carne usually comes with cheap salty or bland ground beef chili...this had smoked brisket! Nuff said. Bomb brisket suadero - this came as a suggestion from the waiter and it didn't disappoint. All the right flavors and smokiness and textures. I would come back just for this same dish. I suggest anyone that reads this to come asap and experience this place. Great wait staff as well! read more
