This is a good choice if you're staying in the area at a hotel, it's walking distance from the Marriot Las Colinas. Almost all the other choices for dining are expensive suburban places that are very nice in terms of ambiance, but mediocre in terms of food. Among the choices with Latin cuisine, this is the only one I found with Spanish speaking clientele. Judging from the other reviews, this might not be the place for you if you were just at a music event next door and already a little inebriated. Although also a little overpriced, that does seem to be the norm for the area, and the food quality and service were quite good. Friendly, clean, bilingual, I enjoyed my two taco dinner, one was fish, the other shrimp. Portion sizes were small, unlike back home but this isn't a fair comparison and no one can finish the Milwaukee area Mexican family dinner plates. The churros dessert was pretty good too. On the negative side, the churros comes in Styrofoam with lots of plastic. It's hard to get them to not serve plastic straws. Lots of plastic waste here.

The tacos were sooooo good and the Cadillac margaritas were the best we've had in years. The bartender made the drinks to perfection. We will be back!

The 3 tacos and a side is a pretty good combo

The chicken bowl is not worth it price wise but it is pretty decent tasting. I just feel like you could get better quality at your local chipotle with a better price tag attached to it as well. The tacos combos are pretty worth it so I would recommend those in terms of pricing. Includes a side!

Price gouging & had zero shame claiming the $13.99 included taxes...

PRICE GOUGING and outright DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES. I caught them overcharging me, and then the cashier outright lied about the $13.99 charge vs. the $11.99 advertised price. Claimed it was because of taxes when the screen clearly showed the additional tax charge. Some older man came by (edit: the OWNER) and acted like he didn't know why there was an issue. He said prices are adjusted due to special events "like many places." Are you serious?? He asked if I had already paid, and I told him no because I was leaving anyway. He got an attitude as if I was in the wrong for not accepting his "generosity" of charging me the actual price for the food. Said he was going to adjust the price but if I was "dissatisfied" I could just leave. I cannot imagine how many of you have been cheated. Out of money by this shady business. People are already paying for concert tickets, $35-60 for parking, just so that a restaurant can turn around and take advantage, too? It's abhorrent!!! Do NOT give this place your business. Not only will they cheat you, but they'll treat you like trash for speaking out.

Pacheo taco bar benefits from its location near the Toyota Music Factory and Irving convention center. Its worth checking out if you are looking for a more casual bite before a concert or during a convention. You can order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Service was just ok, I got ran up for quac when I ordered queso but that's ok. There was slight confusion when I mentioned it at the counter but taken care of fairly quickly. Food wise it was decent enough for what I would expect from this kind of shop near major event centers. I went with the 3 tacos, which I had hoped I would be able to try 3 different kinds, but when ordering tacos they have you order 3 of the same. Which can work out if you have more than one person that is willing to trade tacos with you, so everyone can try a different one, but not so much if you are by yourself. I will keep them in rotation when I'm up here for events, but with event traffic I don't know if I would fight it for the food places in this center.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the lady taking our order. She was very patient and helped us find what we wanted and were looking for. She then recommended the drinks and she was ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY correct that they were strong. Everything tasted homemade and was appetizing and we loved that the cheese melted in our mouth. The restroom was clean. We will definitely be back. 10/10 highly recommend!!

She died waiting for food!

Ok so this review is hard for me to write because not only did I want this place to be good but so did my daughter. We as well as 100's of others were attending a concert & wanted to grab a bite to eat before going in. So I must emphasize the place was crowded & both of us realized, completely understood, & empathized with employees & other patrons (it was packed). I tell my daughter what I would like to eat & then I go to get us a table. She stays to order. She finds me & we are #18. I then go to the bar & get a mangolado for us to share from a very nice & patient man working at the bar. When I return we both try it & chit chat for about 15-20 minutes & then a woman brings out chips & queso that my daughter ordered, the woman grabs our #18 & takes it with her. My daughter asks "if she took our # how will they know who to bring the rest of the food to?" (Good question considering the woman put the # back into rotation by the register again) my daughter gets up & goes to ask about the rest of our food & they tell her about 5 minutes they are very busy tonight? (Head scratch) We have finished our queso & the woman brings out my daughters plate. (We have now been here a total of 1hr & 15 minutes) I go up to where the food comes out & ask how much longer for the rest of the order? They ask what was the rest? I tell them a quesadilla. They look at each other go to the register then come back to me & say it will be another 15 minutes. (The concert has already started by now). I tell them it's ok can I just have all of my money back. The young woman proceeds to go back & forth with me they are making the food?? I am explaining to her I've already been waiting over an hour & I can't take food in the venue. She refunds me only for the quesadilla? I explain to her no I want a refund for the whole meal bcz I have been waiting etc. As she is arguing with me a man holding a #18 is standing behind me. She puts her arm out & pushes me to the side & says she needs to help him. My daughter then walks up with her plate & says these are the wrong tacos!! I told the young lady there you go now I need a full refund they are the wrong tacos. She said I can't she already took a bite out of them. I asked her for the manager she said she was busy making food for other customers. Then the man holding #18 says I think she got my tacos. Yup! I took the plate of tacos & went to where everyone was making the food. The very nice man that made our drink (which was delicious) asked if he could help me? I explained the whole scenario, he told her to give me the refund she still was going back & forth with him. He had to go to the register himself to do it. I told him I wanted to really try this place but her attitude is so bad. She started laughing. I said wow your laughing?? This isn't funny. I've worked in customer service for 30 yrs & this isn't how you treat people. I will try this place again when I'm back over there but hopefully they put their employees through some sort of training. I know what it's like to be busy, to be so stressed out but still have to keep your cool or I would lose my job. You can't touch your customers even to move them out of the way & you can't argue with a customer.

We ordered the Shrimp and Glazed Pecan salad and told 2 different workers that there weren't any pecans in the salad. Neither person brought pecans to us. I will NOT visit this restaurant AGAIN! Also the bar area wasn't clean...dirty glasses were everywhere.

Fish Taco

First of two stops on football Sunday. My cousin and I, wanted to watch some games and grab a bite. This place did not disappoint, as it had both games on (Fox and CBS). We bellied up to the bar. Had a couple of margaritas, which were fine. I had a fish taco which was excellent and my cousin had the Vegatarian bowl with Veggies. Also very good. Would recommend and look forward to visiting again.

A picture from my seat at the bar. Now this will really draw a crowd.

Via Real is an OG Las Colinas spot, family-run for years and it shows in both the food and the…read moreservice. The menu leans Mexican fusion, with standout seafood and steak options across the board. One of my personal favorites is their sea bass special with pineapple reduction. It's beautifully balanced sweet, savory, and rich without being heavy and comes with perfectly cooked charred vegetables on the side. The drinks are excellent, especially the margaritas, which definitely lean on the stronger side, fair warning that one drink can feel like two. Save room for dessert too; they offer a solid selection of cakes and sweets that are a great way to close out the meal. Service is attentive and warm, and they also have private group dining rooms available, making it a great option for corporate events or holiday parties. Valet parking is available, but there's also plenty of convenient parking right next to the restaurant. Overall, Via Real is a reliable, elevated dining experience that still feels welcoming and rooted in tradition, a Las Colinas classic for a reason.

Via Real is an Irving-Las Colinas landmark which serves Southwestern cuisine with amazing service…read more I've attended Via Real for numerous events and have enjoyed the bar, so this review focuses on these experiences. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Via Real has a dedicated parking lot and valet parking - this is a sign of an upscale restaurant. Inside, it's a beautiful restaurant (currently decorated for Christmas). There's a dedicated bar in the back, the tables are perfectly set, and the vibe exudes an upscale feel. 1 Star. Service - Upon entering, you're greeted with a smiling hostess to assist. Since I was here for an event, they walked me to the appropriate room. Via Real has dedicated rooms for events, and we had a dedicated staff member who made sure we had drinks in hand. All requests were taken care of. They were fast, accommodating, and professional. 1 Star. Food - Via Real specializes in Southwestern cuisine. It's not Mexican or Tex-Mex, but if you're fans of that cuisine, you'll find familiar flavors. My events had several items, but my favorite were the individual nachos. Instead of a shared platter, a single (large) tortilla chip is topped with chicken or beef and oven-melted cheese. It felt more like bite-sized appetizers than traditional nachos. At the bar, I enjoyed a decaf cappuccino and creamy caramel flan. You can eat at the bar, but there are also tables you can sit at. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Via Real is in my neighborhood and has been in Irving-Las Colinas as long as I can remember (mid 90's). If you are ever in the area, make sure you stop by. 1 Star.

Lol But I also want to support this small restaurant and brag about literally how delicious everything is. From the empanadas that are cheesy and meaty you could eat as a meal alone, to all the flavors of each sauce they offer is exceptional. The poblano sauce is so good, I'd like to get a job in the kitchen for the recipe. We also asked for a side of the mole sauce just to try, it was smoky, sweet, and the right amount of spices. The tacos remind me of the tacos I get in Mexico with the grilled pineapple and picked onions. The salsa offered with the chips is warm and I love that. Will definitely be a go to restaurant for me.

I forgot to snap a picture but I'll list some things I tried: Empanadas- 10/10- a must order. Flavor, texture, and taste are all amazing. Molé enchiladas- the molé is so good- especially for Dallas since most places are Tex Mex and molé is more Mexican. Definitely order if this is in your "taste profile." Lunch specials- I don't even know if this is on their website but they have a great lunch menu and they have a lunch combo special where you can pick two items for $10.50 and it comes with rice and beans. I ordered the cheese enchilada and the mini chimichanga. Full disclosure I didn't eat the mini chimichanga because I didn't know it was covered in queso and I hate queso (unpopular opinion- I know). I loved the enchilada though and it had chili con carne sauce which was delicious. Rice and beans were also very good. Next time I'll just say no queso on the chimi. The restaurant is really tiny but cozy and you can tell it is family owned. Definitely will be a regular spot for me and will be back.

On our way back from Asia, my husband and I had a stop through the DFW area and immediately decided…read morethat we needed to take advantage of being back near a region that really knows Mexican food. Living in Sioux Falls has many positives, but distinct and deeply flavorful Mexican cuisine is unfortunately still something that's a little harder to come by compared to places like Arizona or Texas. So, we made it a point to stop at Lupe Tortilla while passing through Irving. The first thing we noticed was how packed the restaurant was during lunch. People were pouring in steadily, and the atmosphere had that energetic local favorite feeling where you know people come because they genuinely enjoy the food. Thankfully, the meal itself delivered. Now, was it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it was still leagues beyond most of what we've experienced lately back home in South Dakota. The carne asada especially stood out. The portion was massive, tender, and packed with smoky, savory flavor. You could immediately tell it had actually spent some time on a grill instead of simply being rushed out of a kitchen. We also enjoyed the tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, all of which had that comforting Tex-Mex richness and seasoning that we've really missed. Unfortunately, we were on a fairly tight travel schedule and couldn't linger the way we would have liked. Honestly, this felt like the sort of place where you could easily sit awhile longer, enjoy another drink, sample more dishes, and just soak in the lively atmosphere. Still, even as a quick stop, it was a great experience and a delicious reminder of how much we miss the bold Mexican food culture of the Southwest.

The food was just okay overall. The lobster tacos I ordered were quite salty, as were the chicken…read moreenchiladas my friend got. I finished one taco, but for the second I only ate the lobster since I didn't want to waste it, especially considering the $30+ price point. My husband ordered the carne asada steak Lupe and said it was fine, though he's definitely had better. On a more positive note, the chili con queso was good, and the frozen strawberry margarita was both tasty and generously sized. Service was friendly, but we were given multiple chip refills without being asked, while the salsa and beans that come with them were never replenished, which felt a bit unbalanced. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and was on the louder side, which made it a little difficult at times to hear our server. My Apple Watch even gave me a loud-environment alert, so it might be something to keep in mind if you prefer a quieter dining experience.
