Incredible food (that's an understatement) and VERY reasonably priced. The Al Carbon tacos and chicken enchiladas are my favorites. They don't go cheap tequila wise on ritas either read more

I've driven by this place for a while, but never had a reason to stop until I was invited to meet up with a group of friends for dinner. The service was wonderful, everyone so kind and on top of things. My standard for a Mexican Restaurant is the chips & salsa and these were not great, in my opinion. They weren't un-editable so I at them, it's so hard to say no to chips & salsa, but they weren't at the top of my favorites list. The menu is small, but there really seems to be something for everyone. I decided to try the Salmon Tacos - blackened Atlantic salmon + avocado, elote & chipotle aioli (which I nixed because it's has dairy). I asked it was possible to get them a la carte without rice & beans and there was not so I ordered the whole thing. I laughed when I saw them - I've never seen salmon cut so pencil thin. I was glad there were three of them because I was hungry! The corn tortillas were good, not house-made, the salmon was okay, but not great - at least the avocado was fresh! The rice was hard & not very tasty, but I ate it because I was so hungry. I didn't touch the beans as they couldn't confirm if they had dairy or not in them. I did order a margarita and it was good, although there was A LOT of ice. I wouldn't choose to go back here, but if I was invited I'd probably eat before and just order guacamole to eat the okay chips with (wink). read more

Petra - Salmon Tacos - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I have lived in the Dallas area and have been in pursuit of good Mexican food. We took for granted how good we had it living in San Antonio. This one really hit the spot today for location, price, value and taste. The menu in my opinion at first glance was limiting but they made up for it in taste. The chips and salsa were very tasty and had just the right amount of zing. My wife had an enchilada plate and I had the pollo asado. The food arrived hot and well prepared for both of us. The beans were okay as we are big fans of correct beans and their only offering was the refried black beans. If that is the worst thing I have to call it a win. The servings were plenty and the food arrived promptly after placing our order. We will definitely be back and for the time being based on the factors I mentioned will likely be a place we return very soon. read more

Petra - Steak Tacos (lunch portion) - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Thanks for the gut-rending diarrhea. Wash your hands maybe? This place was better in a strip center off 75.

My daughter was here from San Antonio, TX and we wanted to have some good authentic Mexican food. I had been eyeing this restaurant for a while; so I thought we would try it out. The food was really good!!! The vibe was really chill and the customer service was off the chain. Raegan and Zach took very good care of us; which made the entire experience an awesome one! I would definitely come back and would definitely recommend this place to family and friends!!! read more

Ran out of silverware...had to wait after food was delivered to get any...food was mediocre

I've been a long time fan of Petra. The last couple visits have beem challenging. The staff seems more interested in talking to each other than actually tending to their customers. Placed a to go order because I was short on time, only to arrive to realize that they hadn't prepared anything, and then didn't Include all the items in my order. Super frustrating - I know you can do better. read more

The best Mexican restaurant in McKinney. Great service, consistently good food quality, seed oil free.

Great dinner at Petra tonight as usual. Great food great service!! Reagan & Andy were fantastic!!

We had decent drinks and the vibe was pretty nice. Unfortunately the food was very mid. We had friendly service.

The food quality is top-notch, on par with other five-star high-end restaurants in Dallas. The service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The brothers who own and run the place are wonderful people. I visit Petra every time I come to see my family here. I highly recommend trying the carne asada and the chili relleno. read more

Stopped in after passing several times since our move to McKinney and was very impressed. Simple menu, great food, friendly and polite staff and even a great duo for entertainment. read more

Petra - Shrimp tacos - Mexican Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Food is good but doesn't over impress. Service is very good, not great. Decor for dine-in I would say is minimalist resulting in noise and echoes. The place was nearly empty when I went. I would return, but better is available if you go a little distance. Good choice in a pinch if you are local. My 3 star rating may be a bit low. read more

On our continued search for good Mexican food, we came across Petra! We got an order of chips and guac for the table to share and it was okay, nothing special. Their salsas were better- one verde is spicier than the other red salsa. But what we really went for was the sour cream enchiladas and y'all it lives up to the hype. The chicken is a shredded into a light flour tortilla with cheese but their sour cream sauce was what sold it. We also chose the shrimp tacos to share, the shrimp is bland by itself but the green cream and cole slaw is where it's at. Beans and rice were okay as well. Portion sizes and prices were average and reasonable, so we'd likely return but for their speciality items and desserts! read more

I stopped in for a late lunch today while I was out today after a meeting, I have driven by many times but decided to stop and give it a try. It was close to 3:30, so not many patrons inside. The decor is clean and uncluttered. I decided to sit outside on the small patio, the tables and chairs are colorful with a bright yellow awning overhead. I had chips and salsa delivered immediately, served with two salsa options, one red, one green. Both salsa's have a good flavor. Then I sat, and sat, and sat. I hadn't eaten all day so was incredibly hungry so went inside to the bar and asked for a server to come out and see me and ordered a beer from the bartender. Walking back to my table the beer is warm so I turn right around and asked for a cold one. Bartender laughs and says he just put them in the fridge. The server finally came out and was friendly, took my order and had some good suggestions from the menu. I ordered a sour cream enchilada and a Baja fish taco (with no tomato or onion) rice and borracho beans. The Baja fish taco came out unfortunately with onions that I picked off but still tasted very strongly of onions. The enchilada had a creamy sauce and was really nice but rice and beans were very bland. I don't often give 2 stars but the experience was worthy of it in my opinion. read more

Disappointing. Never ever believe the Pictures or Reviews. I'm convinced all of them are FAKE. I ordered the Chicken taquitos and churros for dessert. I ordered everything together had I had taste my entrée first I would've NEVER ordered Dessert. First Bite of the and I got a BONE the flavor was gamy and bland. The churros Were over fried Bread Dough with Cinnamon and sugar. Each one easily weighed a half pound that's how thick they are. If every review was honest this place would be closed for business. read more

My absolute new favorite Mexican restaurant!! I grew up in San Antonio and have struggled to find great and authentic Mexican food in DFW. This place was phenomenal. It's gorgeous inside, family owned and operated, and NO SEED OILS. The food tasted so fresh and the spicy margarita was incredible. We will definitely be back. We had the steak tacos and birria enchiladas. 11/10 read more

Petra the go to Mexican restaurant for me. Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing drinks. The service is phenomenal as well!

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! And the place was even empty. After my hamburger was delivered to the table, I had to get up and find someone to say that it was missing things that were supposed to come on the burger (like the avocado....why I ordered it). The waitress never checked in after delivering the burger. I had to get up two other times. The second to ask for ketchup and the third to ask for my bill and a box. Food was just mediocre. Such a bummer! The staff just wanted to chitchat with each other. The guy at the hostess stand was nice and helpful though. Definitely not his job to wait on tables, but he took care of it. read more

I got enchiladas with spaghetti sauce I guess. I don't even know how to explain the Mexican rice. This place was just not good all the way around. Horrible food. Service was slow on a Saturday at 2 pm with maybe 5 other tables. If this is your neighborhood hangout l, I get it. Otherwise just stay far away with so many other options out read more

Positives: Salsa is excellent, both the red and green salsas are delicious. The green is probably the best green salsa I've ever had. Restaurant was cute and clean. Negatives: Service is not great. Our order had several things come out either incorrect or missing. Had to repeatedly ask for refills and more salsa, napkins, etc. and they were NOT busy at all. Food is not that great. The nicest way I can describe it is "very inauthentic" read more

We moved from Texas 2 years ago and this place is what I miss most! The sour cream enchilada sauce is what dreams are made of! During covid I would drive 25 minutes each way just to get enchiladas and they never disappointed! read more

Not bad but I don't recommend the carne asada as it has WAY to much salt and was a little tough which imo means they are skimping on the quality when they buy it. Their taco plate was really good, mainly the steak tacos, but the chicken taco was dry. Hot sauce is perfect and their cheese quesadillas were amazing I was told! Overall pretty good place and would go there again but wouldn't be my first choice. read more

This place is solid Mexican food, very clean and well decorated. The blackened salmon tacos was excellent, the pork taco was to sweet for my taste. You get 2 salsas with chips and they are both excellent, chips are also great and have salt on them so need to add any. Like many people I have driven by for years, finally stopped in for lunch. I would recommend giving it a try, lots of taco options. read more

Very disappointed sadly. The food, presentation and atmosphere left a lot to be desired. This place came highly recommended so it was very surprising. The upside was we were greeted so warmly. We really wanted to like it but I just found it unpalatable. The food was served on a sort of tray dish. Almost like eating in a cafeteria. I would say work on presentation and plating. read more

Went here for the first time and it may just be a new favorite for me. The chips were fresh and salsa was good. I had the signature sour cream chicken enchiladas and those were so good. They fill it with a lot of chicken and their sauce was good and flavorful. I like that they put a lot of sauce over the enchiladas. The lime rice and beans it came with were also good. My son had the chicken quesadilla and he really enjoyed that. Service was good. Ambiance was cozy. I'll be returning to try more items. read more

Going west on 380 and saw this name right of the street PETRA it caught my eye because that was my grandmas name. It happens to be a Mexican restaurant and it looked like it was closed so the only way to find out is by turning the car around and investigate. Well y'all it was open and the food was FANTASTIC!!!! Had the chicken quesadillas and lord have mercy it had flavor, seasoning and to be honest the best quesadillas EVER!!!!! Super cozy place and the service is great. Please go by and enjoy some amazing Mexican food you won't regret it. read more

I've ordered delivery twice. The Taco Sampler was a 5. Enchilada Sampler a 4. The Quesadilla Nortena was a 4. Not a fan of their Black refried beans or Lime rice. Both were bland for my tastebuds. The chips deserve a 10. Food was packaged perfectly in decent to-go containers for leftovers. read more

Staff was great, but the food reminded me of hospital food. If you're from CA, avoid. I wish they had good red rice and refried pinto beans, because the flavor was lacking read more

I didn't really discover this place until after the pandemic began, and as a result, all of my dining experience is either outdoor (once) or takeout (a bunch of times), so I can't speak to the ambiance or decor, nor the drinks. The food, however, has been very good. The signature sour cream chicken enchiladas are a signature dish for a reason. They're outstanding. The sour cream sauce has a subtle flavor that I can't really put my finger on, but it complements the chicken and tortilla nicely. The chicken itself is well seasoned, and the overall dish (including beans and rice) are definitely something that comes home with me often. Other favorites are the chorizo queso as an appetizer, and several of the taco offerings (fish and shrimp are both really good). Overall, it's a solid place, and I'm looking forward to being able to dine in when it's safe. read more

Such a great date spot!! It was so romantic and cozy, the food was super fun and delicious. We went on a Friday night and service could have been better, so next time we visit we will go during the week when it's a little slower. Can't wait to come here again!! read more

The most amazing fish tacos in the world, plus chips and salsa, plus churros, plus hibiscus tea, and more. Love this place! We've been coming here for at least 10 years (back when it was still on East Eldorado side), and after a year hiatus tried again. Wow, not sure how Petra could have improved, but they have. We will definitely be back again, and again, and again, very soon! read more

The food at Petra's is never disappointing. Some of best dishes are sour cream chicken enchiladas. Carne asada, chicken asada, and of course their flour tortillas are home made. Service excellent, staff always pleasant and eager to help. The restaurant is clean and organized. We in fact had them cater our granddaughters wedding last week. More food than we could eat and their set up and take down was beyond what was expected. Can't go wrong here. read more

Love their fresh salsas! Lunch specials are great, so if you can, try them out at that time. Fyi if you have kiddos and they only like crispy tacos, be warned because they don't have them on the menu. I personally recommend their chili relleno, but since it is breaded and deep fried, ask for the sauce to be on the side so you can enjoy the crispy breading. Otherwise it just falls apart under the sauce, and you lose out on a fantastic texture combination. read more
