Michelada
Frank N.

2/19/26: This was my first visit. The restaurant is Veteran owned and operated. I went with my neighbor for lunch. We sat at the bar, and Coltyn took care of us. I had a Michelada, which was very good, and my neighbor had a beer. Both drinks were served in a mason jar, and looked great with a Tajín rim. Coltyn brought us chips and salsa. The chips were nice and crunchy, and the salsa had a medium spicy kick to it. I had Carne Asada Fries, and my neighbor had a Guac Lettuce Taco and a Bean and Cheese tostada. Our food was prepared fresh, and came out hot! The Carne Asada fries is shareable. I wasn't able to finish my plate. The restaurant was pretty clean, with nice decor, and a few TV's throughout. The bar area was nice, there were plenty of tables available, and there were a couple of tables just outside the restaurant. Coltyn was a great host, and we'll definitely be back. There was plenty of parking outside.

Brisket enchiladas, rice, house margarita.

The service here was stellar. Two young men took a huge interest in us enjoying our meal. Chips and salsa are on point (we are salsa snobs). The music was too loud (where is it NOT too loud these days?) and you just seat yourself... decently clean, and food was pretty good. Hubby got the birria tacos, and I got the sour cream brisket enchiladas. They were fine. Not super, but good! Not much seasoning- just good meat inside a nicely cooked meal. Very filling. Rice was great, and I loved the black refried beans as well. Price was right, and we enjoyed it.

Torta & Steak Fries

Small and cute place to have some good mexican food! I had the sopes and I had to try at least a carne asada taco to judge it well, and yup... we have been here now 4 times and we have made a decision to make it our spot for taco tuesday. I recommend their mango margaritas with tajin, they taste fresh and they are not too strong which is actually enjoyable. The service is fast and friendly, but they can definitely use an extra person on their busy days, but overall they are awesome!

Birria Ramen
Dan E.

It was our last day in Texas and I was determined to find some outstanding Tex-Mex before our flight out of Love Field later that evening. After my usual thorough and methodical research, we decided upon Senaida's Mexican Kitchen in Rowlett. And after studying their menu, I knew exactly what I was going to order! Senaida's is situated in a strip mall with large, peculiar graphics on their window from the neighboring foot specialist, but don't let that deter you. Once inside, the restaurant is beautiful and clean with vibrant Tex-Mex decor that pays homage to their local town of Rowlett. Loved the draft beer service here. Comes out ice cold in a huge, chilled Mason jar. I ordered the "Enchiladas Potosinas" and it was excellent! Six small red handmade tortillas filled with queso fresco topped with more queso fresco and an artful drizzle of Crema Mexicana. Served with rice, lettuce & tomato and a pickled jalapeno. Such a unique and delicious dish that I truly enjoyed. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it in SoCal. My wife had the brisket enchiladas which looked and tasted great. My son had the birria ramen and loved it. They even had chopsticks for him. Service here is so genuine and authentic. Very nice people, we enjoyed visiting with them. We definitely plan to return the next time we're in Central Texas.

Queso
Lauren H.

Came here for the first time for lunch today. Service was decent. The restaurant is really small with maybe 15 tables and a bar. Chips seem to be homemade. The queso and salsa were really good so we thought the food would be as well. My husband got the chicken quesadilla and said it was lacking serious flavor. I got the street tacos on corn tortillas. The tortillas were thick and stuck together so I couldn't peel them apart to only eat one.l per taco. The meat was subpar when it came to flavor and there were many chewy bits. Come to think of it... the tacos can be described as chewy... from the meat to the tortillas. Strange. My mom liked her nachos, but then again, how can you mess nachos up? Probably won't be back to try other menu options as two of three meals were just bland and weird. Prices are decent. Just wish the food was a lot better.

Homemade chips!
Lele S.

LETTUCE TACOS! Yes!! So excited about this! w Pastor. Guacamole and lime! So good Good Skinny margarita. If I could just not eat the chips but they're pretty good also! Casual. Easy. Happy Hour 4-7.

Beef Fajitas
Glenn C.

Molcajete Beef Fajitas Senaida's is the best Mexican restaurant in Rowlett. The others don't even come close. The Molcajete bowl is their signature dish and if you've never had it, you're missing out on life entirely. My next favorites are the beef and shrimp fajitas. They are nicely seasoned and grilled to perfection. The rice and charro beans that come with are great. Big portions too! You definitely get your money's worth! To top things off, they make an outstanding margarita on the rocks for $5.00. Places like the Smoky Rose, Gloria's, Christina's, Meso Maya, Javier's all make a $12.00 nasty Sour- canned mix of some kind, horrible margarita. Do yourself a favor and get your saddle in here! Trust me. You won't be disappointed.

Jalapeño street taco plate. Absolutely amazing and I love the plates.

Food is really amazing with great flavor to it. Has more a west coast feel rather then your text mex style you see everywhere.

A week later and I am still thinking about the delicious food and fantastic service! We didn't wait…read moresuper long for a table and the hosts were great. We took my dad to dinner and he complained that it was a little loud, but felt like we sat right under a speaker. I explained to him that it was part of the "vibe". Other than the volume making it difficult to hear, everything was fantastic. We probably could have asked to sit on the heated patio. The chips were warm and fresh and came with both red and green salsa, and both were super tasty. My husband asked if I could make salsa like that at home! We ordered drinks and they came quickly. I appreciated the quality of the drinks especially since we mostly ordered from their drink menu. We ordered "The Good Guac" to start and our server made sure that it wasn't too spicy or anything for my dad. I thought that was very thoughtful that she asked if how it came was ok. For food we ordered street tacos, Baja fish tacos and the parillada en fuego. The food runner seemed confused and brought us another dish (maybe the Verde molcajete) but with the loud music the message that we didn't order it was lost in translation. My husband thought maybe it was what he ordered and started in. Because our server came to check on us so quickly, she caught the mistake right away. She apologized profusely and said they were bringing what we ordered. They allowed us to keep the dish, and no sooner did we have a few bites of the deliciousness the correct food came out. They checked on us quickly, apologized profusely, brought the correct food immediately, let us keep the other food, sent another manager to apologize and finally followed up with coupons to return after making sure we were satisfied with how they handled it. I understand humans make mistakes, so I feel like the recovery or response is what is important. This is the type of amazing service that will keep us coming back. We were actually happy with the mistake as we were able to try another dish we likely wouldn't have ordered (but ended up being our favorite thing to eat). The ambiance was fun, parking was easy, the wait was reasonable, the service was FANTASTIC, the food was delicious and food/drinks were made with quality ingredients. We'll be back!

I have been twice. The first time I sat with friends at the bar and had dinner. The bartender was…read moresuper, friendly and attentive, even when busy. The decorum is cool if you like fake plants. Though they add cool lighting, which helps. Food, well I wish I could give it five stars, but my second visit confirmed my feelings about the food. It's super spicy, and the portions for the price are crazy small. Don't count on sharing. So, if you can go during a happy hour give it a try. Otherwise, there are better places for Mexican food.

We ordered take out so I can speak to food quality. My husband ordered the tacos and I had chicken…read moreenchiladas. Still hot when we opened it and it was delicious. Rice and beans good too.

Best chicken enchiladas around Chimmy changa is perfection,…read morebrisket filled with a flavor to die for.Good Eats, the food it prepared with Love, like it should be. Many times you go and eat enchiladas and the chicken is flavorless, Not Here. Chicken Enchiladas is Very Tasty the chicken itself is seasoned, together with the toppings makes for perfection. The Chimmi filled with Brisket was Excellent. Just the right amount of crispness with a smooth tender center, The sour cream and cheese topping was Delicious, The cheese topping is very good. Everything was served piping hot, Im thinking everything is made from a Family recipe like I say.. made with not only skilled hand but with pride, not many places serve food made with pride. They are Happy to serve you. Very friendly place. The waiting staff is fast to Take your order with smiles and are actually Very happy to give fast friendly service. The Dinning area is spacious with a decorative decor, Solid real tables, not those fake cheaply made tables like Panchos...Really tables for Real comfort, I don't know about yall but to me that means alot, no wobbly water glass spilling tables. Built for a Real Family. It kinda give you a Home Feeling. Most places have plastic fake plants... Well Here they are real. Snake plants, ivy plants and you can tell they are very well cared for. I've eaten in a lot of places that have decor with dust gathering on them, I can mention a few places where the dust hides from lack of real cleaning. Well, be sure this is not one of those places, you will enjoy clean fresh atmosphere here, its relaxing. Ernesto has come a long way for a family restaurant. No commercial hands here, all home made, not stuff out of a can. Theres plenty of seating, so if your tired of the same Ole chain restaurant bla bla. This is the place to go for lunch, dinner or happy hour for a nice meal. They do have a bar , what Mexican Restaurant doesn't...wait take that back...any Real Mexican Restaurant does. Well the menu has great choices, Try them out, Im sure you guys will enjoy the Atmosphere and the cuisine are Great. Oh..don't be surprised if you get addicted to Real Mexican Cuisine.
