Loved this restaurant! Good service and the food was amazing! Nice lady! Atmosphere was nice and very authentic felt like I was in Mexico. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants REAL Mexican food.

The Best Cash-Only Mexican Home Cooking in Irving! Comida casera cerca del aeropuerto DFW After picking up a family member from the airport, their first request was for "real Mexican food." Without hesitation, we headed to a hidden gem tucked away in a sea of apartments in Irving. Nestled in a shopping strip anchored by a Buddhist temple and a laundromat, you'll find Pisca de Oaxaca--a liquor store that also houses a cozy restaurant. The name, "Pisca de Oaxaca" (Oaxaca Harvest), is a bit ironic since they currently don't offer dishes traditional to Oaxaca. Nevertheless, the food here is authentic, hearty, and full of flavor. We arrived during lunch and sampled a variety of dishes: flautas, crispy tacos, tortas, tamales, and tacos. Chicken Flautas: These crunchy rolled tortillas, stuffed with chicken, were perfectly served with mounds of lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and Oaxaca (mozzarella) cheese. A filling and delicious meal. Crispy Tacos (Tacos de Papa): A traditional street food from southern Mexico, these tacos are like empanadas but with tortillas and a mashed potato filling. The potato itself is mild, but with toppings like crispy lettuce, sour cream, Oaxaca cheese, and tomato, they become a flavorful treat. Definitely add salsa--both the green and red varieties pack a punch, reminiscent of the salsas you'd find at a street food stall in Mexico. Torta de Milanesa: This sandwich, featuring breaded beef (similar to chicken-fried steak), was generously packed with avocado, lettuce, refried beans, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and onions. A very filling and satisfying choice. Tamal de Rajas: The masa (tamal dough) was wonderfully flavorful and reminded me of my grandma's tamales. Filled with seedless jalapeños and melted mozzarella cheese, this tamal was both savory and filling. Tacos de Pollo: I usually skip chicken tacos, but these were an exception. Charcoal rotisserie-style, the chicken was juicy with a delightful charred flavor, reminiscent of a perfect backyard BBQ. Rice & Beans: Pure nostalgia. The rice tasted just like the amazing rice my mom made when I was a kid, and the refried beans were just as my grandma used to make--comfort food at its best. If you're craving authentic home-cooked Mexican meals and don't have family nearby, or if you simply want to experience what Mexican home cooking is like, this is the place to satisfy that craving. I plan to return on the weekend to try the pozole (hominy soup), menudo (tripe soup, great for hangovers), and champurrado (a chocolate, cinnamon, and masa drink), which are served Fridays through Sundays. A special shoutout to the owner, Amelia. Her kindness and passion for her food are evident in every dish--it's the secret ingredient that makes this place special. A quick anecdote: I mentioned my interest in trying the seafood soup but had to skip it due to a mild allergy in our group. Amelia ("Emily") brought out a small cup for me to sample anyway, and it was incredible--definitely on my list for next time. The Flip Side: While the aguas frescas (like Jamaica and tamarindo) were refreshing, I wished they offered more flavors like cantaloupe or horchata. Additionally, it would be great to see some actual Oaxacan dishes, such as enmoladas, Oaxacan tamales (banana leaf tamales), and tlayudas, on the menu in the future. I will be back many times, each time bringing more friends to experience this homemade taste of Mexico.

Exactly what I was looking for. One day visit to DFW for business and wanted a quick, reliable…read morelunch. I was thinking BBQ until I saw Potbelly. BBQ seemed too heavy and couldn't figure out a decent one close to my business. Potbelly makes good sandwiches. You'll know exactly what you're getting every time you go. I went with the Cubano (which I cannot say no to on any menu), it was delicious. Had it exactly how menu said in white bread. Flavors were great, the only negative would be the bread but tough to get at a chain restaurant. I recommend any Potbelly if you want a great sandwich from a chain restaurant.

A graceful 3. I stopped by this place with my daughter for the first time on a random weekday…read more Before I begin, let me just say this: first impressions really are everything. When we walked in, no one greeted us or explained how the ordering process worked. We took our time looking over the menu and were pretty much left to figure things out on our own. To be fair, one employee was checking out customers and another appeared to be preparing food, so I can give a little grace there. After about 3-5 minutes, someone came from the back and politely asked how he could help. I mentioned that it was our first visit, and he instructed us to order our sandwiches with him. After taking our order, he immediately started preparing the sandwiches. Unfortunately, no directions were given about what to do next. We moved over to what appeared to be the sandwich topping station, where another employee was working. He never acknowledged us, and by that point, both the cashier and sandwich prep employee had disappeared to the back. We grabbed a bag of chips and headed toward the register, assuming maybe toppings weren't part of the process. When the cashier eventually returned, she looked at us as if she was wondering why we were standing there. I explained that it was our first time and that we hadn't received any instructions. She quickly apologized and gave us a rundown of how everything worked. As it turned out, our sandwiches were simply waiting to be dressed with toppings. While she was helping us, the employee who had been standing at the topping station the entire time walked off carrying completed sandwiches. I'm assuming he was handling to-go or catering orders, but his lack of acknowledgment made the experience feel a little cold and unwelcoming. Once we got through the ordering process, things improved. The young lady finished our sandwiches, checked us out, and we decided to dine in since the wind outside changed our plans to enjoy the patio. The décor was interesting, with lots of unique things to look at and talk about. We also loved the family feel of the space and the large windows that filled the restaurant with beautiful natural light. The sandwiches did the job and filled us up for lunch. The taste was decent, but I feel like I could have made better choices had I understood the ordering process from the beginning. This feels like a place that's very comfortable for regulars but not necessarily geared toward first-time visitors. Would I return? It's not at the top of my list, but I wouldn't completely rule it out either.
