Arrived around 5:45pm on a Friday night before a Plano West home game. We waited around 20 minutes…read morefor a table, and the line grew behind us. The restaurant is run super efficiently, but it is also very popular. This was our first time here, so it was surprising that it took longer to get our table than it did to get drinks, order, and get food. The salsa is excellent. Not mushy cooked salsa, it is thin with pieces of onion, cilantro, etc.... We loved the flavor, but there's definitely plenty of onion. Husband ordered a frozen margarita which he said was "limey and lush" with the perfect amount of salt. On our Deluxe Carne Asada and Carnitas plates, the meat was the star of the show. Beans, tortillas, rice, guac, cheese enchilada, and pico were all good, but the pork and beef were excellent. The marinade used on the carnitas left bright citrus hues. The asada was tender. The sopapilla was the most buttery tasting sopapilla I've ever had. The custom tables and chairs reflect the pride taken in having a nice space. The mural on the dining room wall is a lovely, bright focal point.

We finally got a table after about a 25 minute wait. We ordered the pork carnitas. The meat came in sizable chunks. Some pieces had a little fat, but most were pretty lean. They were all very tender and crispy on the outside. We also ordered a street taco dinner plate, which came with three tacos with proteins of our choice. We decided to go for a combination of beef, chicken, and pork. They were all delicious, but we liked the pork the most. It was moist and tender. We concluded the meal with some puffy sopaipillas. They were really good too! Our waiter was friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. We enjoyed both the food and the service, and the lively vibe as well. We'll definitely come back. But next time we'll try to get there a little earlier to avoid the long wait.

I love that their service, regardless of day and time is very consistent. There dishes, salsas and chips have consistent quality and taste each visit. Drinks are great. I rarely have to ask for more drinks, salsa or chips. EVERYTHING I have tried on their menu is delicious. Recently went on a Friday for a 11 top bday party. Despite no reservations we were seated in under 15m I just love when restaurants stay consistent across their service and food quality.

The first time we went to La Sombra Cantina we thought we were going back to Pineda's. We were…read moresurprised at the change and hoped it was at least as good as Pineda's. We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

It's hard to get reservations same day, so it's best that you do it at least a day ahead and they get booked up quick! This trip we got all different entrees, everything is great here! But I will say that you HAVE to get the table side guac service! They put BACON in it and always bring a couple bucks to give to the nice attendant for preparing your fresh guac Some of my other favorites are the sopes, the carne asada and tacos are never a miss. I will say this time around we were disappointed with the shrimp tacos, it was 4 tiny tacos with 1 shrimp per taco :-/ so maybe try it if you don't have the same appetite of a 15yo growing teenage boy lol Restaurant of course is very nice and always clean. Parking gets tricky, but there's valet if you're not the walking type ;) Ps. Drinks are phenomenal. Their prickly pear Margs is an absolute go-to!
