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.

Been a loyal customer of Via Real since the early 1990's…read more All of a sudden they decided to charge much more in taxes that I assume must partially be to offset what seemed like a nice "social hour" recently added. When we asked the manager about it, he didn't seem to know they changed this. 10/25/25 was 8.25% tax (including alcohol in the order). All recent bills were anywhere from 13% to 16.5% hidden in the "tax" line, not even itemized. I'm sure because they know most won't realize it. This may explain why on a Friday at 5pm (even with a social hour) the bar was empty except for one other couple. Not going to reduce the stars since I like many of the long-timers that work here, but whoever is running the show now should probably re-examine their decisions. #WWFD

Came here for a group dinner and we had a great time! Really big restaurant with lots of seating,…read moredimly lit. We were seated in a private room which was nice but there was no music in there whatsoever so the ambiance wasn't as lively as it was in the main restaurant. We had some appetizers to start. The chips and salsa were great and crispy. We got the fried calamari (it's a Mexican restaurant so a little odd that they had this item) and it was decent. The guacamole we all thought was just okay. We didn't each much of it. We didn't like the ceviche; we like more of a citrusy ceviche and this one had a sauce that reminded me of shrimp cocktail sauce. For my main dish, I ordered the surf and turf which was one of the specials. It was actually really delicious! And it came with a big portion of fish and steak. The steak was cooked perfectly as requested as well - medium rare. Nice spot for a dinner! Great service too.

It's always packed, so I figured it had to be worth trying, and it definitely was! The restaurant is located in a great shopping plaza with an Asian market, boba shops, bakeries, and other stores, making it a fun area to explore before or after your meal. We were seated immediately, which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant had a fun, energetic atmosphere with great music playing, making it the perfect spot for a girls' night. We started with a few appetizers: garlic noodles, Kickin Wings, and raw oysters. I didn't personally try the oysters, but my friend really enjoyed them. The Kickin Wings were my favorite appetizer! They were hot, crispy, and packed with flavor. The garlic noodles were just okay in my opinion, but the shrimp added to them was delicious. For our seafood boils, we ordered the Special Combo, which included 1/2 lb head-off shrimp, 1/2 lb snow crab, one potato, and sausage for $34.99, with the option to add more items for an additional charge. The seafood was fresh, well-seasoned, and flavorful. My only minor complaint was that the boil bag felt a little small, making it a bit difficult to really dig in and mix everything together the way I like. Overall, we had a great experience! The food was delicious, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and it was the perfect place to catch up with friends over seafood. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a seafood boil. Would definitely recommend!

There can be no complaints about the food. Well prepared steaks. Seafood and pasta without issues. Salad inventive and perhaps the best order. Here are the negatives- It is so expensive $$$ The tables feel cheap. The tableware is cheap It is so noisy And after you easily spend $150 per for good not great meal and get your silly parking pass validated you still have to pay $10 to get out of the parking lot. It feels not nice

Then there are pink accents at the check in desk as well as more pink decor throughout the restaurant. We were seated by the windows that looked out onto the hotel grounds, the pool area and nearby villas. It was beautiful and well-kept landscaping. The overall ambiance of the place was gorgeous. The servers were polite and our food came out at a reasonable time. Although mine and hubby's mashed potatoes came cold, as if they plated them before the meats were ready, everything was still delicious! This place is great for a date, ladies night or private event in their private room. Absolutely cannot wait to go again and also book a room for a staycation!

Ordered the shrimp and crawfish fried rice and a beer, and damn it the spot. Lots of shrimp and crawfish, good flavor, and a decent sized portion. Raul served us on Friday and again on Saturday night when we decided to return. My dad got the beans and rice and loved it, couldn't finish his portion. I enjoyed the Cajun pasta, again, a healthy amount of shrimp and a nice kick to it. Raul was quick to serve us and we got meals quickly. Personable guy too. Enjoyed the experience.

I was stuck in Dallas for a night after my layover because of the cancelled flights from storms…read more Figured I would go get my favorite food, and saw that I had limited options near the airport open past 10pm. So I am thankful this places closes at 2:30AM!!! I ordered the Combo #2, market price was only $42.99, which came with snowcrab, 2 lbs of crawfish, sausage, potato, corn. That was a pretty good price for a Californian! The crawfish were okay, the sausage was really juicy and I enjoyed. The snow crab smelled like ammonia ong. I didn't expect much but they should really get on that. The sauce was brown and gritty and soo dang salty! This place was 10 minutes from DFW and open late so I got what I got. Strawberry Daiquiri was basically a strawberry syrup slush mocktail. The restaurant was connected to a food court it appears, and is pretty old and casual. The storage freezers were next to the dining tables. Would never come back for sure, but my server was really nice! I was about to order chocolate cake and homegirl advised me not to LOL!
