    Crawfish Enchiladas
    Chad J.

    Great food and even better service. They had the standard Mexican fair but also some unique specials like Crawfish Enchiladas (which were pretty good!). The best thing is they give a very good $2 Margarita option with any of the specials!

    Everything was excellent! Our first visit to Papa Gallo's was amazing. We had lunch and was surprised we got a cup of complimentary bean soup, so good. Crispy chips and mild salsa. Our super sweet server made some suggestions so I ordered the beef taco w tortilla soup, my husband the chimichanga and my daughter ordered cheese and beef enchiladas. The restaurant was very clean. We will be back!

    This is a hidden gem in Celina! Good food, good service and really good drinks. What else can you ask for? You get in and out of here really quickly too. They're not playing around about getting you taken care of.

    The food here is wonderful. It is well lit with large windows and climate controlled. Located right off of the Celina town square with ample parking and easy access. The service was great from Lorenzo and we were well cared for throughout our dining experience. Blue or yellow margaritas and ice cold beers in 16 oz or large 20 oz glasses. Large bowls of fresh chips with bowls of roasted pepper salsa and small bowls of fresh made frijole and ham soup for free starters. The servings were very generous and the food was fresh and piping hot. We tried many of the dishes and everyone was full and happy. Then we topped it all off with a Mexican brownie. That's a small black iron skillet which is sizzling hot. They pour a butter and sugar sauce and then add the brownie, two scoops of vanilla ice cream and topped with more butter sauce. Absolutely extraordinary!!! This is a must visit Mexican fiesta under one roof. I highly recommend!!

    Really delicious food! That's the important part …read more.. I was craving Mexican food and hubby NEVER turns down the chance for Mexican food, so when I suggested Mi Chante he was all in. A new location (Providence Village) just recently opened right down the street from our house and I've been excited to try it. We were near the original location (Prosper) on this occasion so that's the location we ended up trying first. Boy oh boy I really hope the Providence Village location is as great as the Prosper location. All staff we interacted with were super nice. The manager (?) even stopped by our table to check that everything was going well. This used to be a common thing restaurants did many years ago and was a pleasant change of pace/return to good customer service practices. There was not a single thing we ordered that we did not enjoy. Everything was seasoned perfectly and prepared with care. We can't wait to return for more!!

    Mi Chante in Prosper has a nice mid-scale feel, though it's not overly decorated like many Mexican…read morerestaurants--aside from the bar area, which has a bit more character. One downside is there's no real waiting area, and the host system uses a paper list. We ended up being forgotten briefly and watched a couple of parties who arrived after us get seated first. The margaritas were very good and definitely a highlight. Chips were solid, but the salsa tasted pretty generic and didn't have that fresh, homemade flavor. For the food, everything was good but not great. The style leans toward Americanized Mexican cuisine and could use a bit more spice and depth of flavor. The mole enchiladas were decent but mild, and the arrachera was well prepared and cooked properly but also a little lacking in seasoning. The rice and beans were quite good, and the dishes were nicely plated. Service overall was fine once seated, and prices felt reasonable for a mid-scale restaurant in the area. Overall, a good spot for a casual Mexican meal, especially if you enjoy a good margarita.
