It is a little nicer than your average barbecue joint, tucked into an old renovated warehouse in downtown McKinney, but it still feels laid back once you settle in. I came in mostly for the chicken fried steak after hearing people rave about it, and it lived up to the hype. Crispy crust, tender inside, and that smoky twist they put on it makes it stand out from any other version I have had in town. My buddy ordered a Wagyu steak and could not stop talking about how well it was cooked, which tracks given they cut their own beef. We split the mac and cheese with chopped brisket on the side and that thing is dangerous, rich and loaded with meat. Prices run a bit higher than a typical smokehouse, but the quality earns it. If you care about where your beef comes from, this is the place to go. Excellent service every time!

We ordered a cup of their clam chowder, and the owner was kind enough to make a fresh batch for us. That level of hospitality really stood out. The chowder was creamy, flavorful, and packed with clams. It was so good that I didn't even mind eating hot soup in the Texas heat! Since it's a food truck, there isn't any seating, but it's parked at Klyde Warren Park where there are plenty of places nearby to sit and enjoy your food. Friendly service, delicious food, and a perfect stop while celebrating the holiday. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

Cookies reminds me of that and it's so special. It is the freshest, most authentic Mexican food you could ask for. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Everyone working there is always so genuinely kind. It's laid back and comfortable with the best vibe. If you think you've had excellent birria at other places--I promise you, you've had nothing until you've had theirs. They offer their quesabirria tacos in both barbacoa and lamb (because it's actually authentic Mexican) and they are total nirvana. And today, my search for the best menudo in Dallas came to an end. This is it and I'm positive I'll be getting it every Saturday that I can during the cooler months. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to trying everything else on their menu. Today we took our order to go and it was packaged completely perfectly with generous salsas and toppings.

On my second visit, I tried a mix of birria de chivo (goat) and birria de res (beef) tacos. The beef was well seasoned and flavorful, but unfortunately the tortillas were a bit too burnt this time. I also decided to try the rice and beans, which ended up being a miss for me. The beans had a canned aftertaste and were very bland, while the rice was dry and also lacking flavor. I tried three of their salsas: salsa verde, salsa verde tatemada (served warm), and the habanero salsa. The two green salsas were decent, but the habanero stood out with great flavor and a nice kick of heat. The staff was super friendly, and service was quick on both visits. Overall, based on consistency and my experience across both trips, I'd rate this spot 3.5 stars.

Back at The Guava Tree, and once again it satisfied the craving for good Cuban food!…read more This time we had the Garlic Chicken with black beans and rice, Vaca Frita, and Plátanos Maduros. The garlic chicken was tender and flavorful, while the Vaca Frita had that great combination of seasoned shredded beef with crispy edges that makes the dish so good. The maduros brought the perfect touch of sweetness to round everything out. Being of Cuban descent, I always appreciate finding places in North Texas where I can enjoy some of the Cuban dishes I grew up knowing and loving. The Guava Tree continues to be one of those places. Good Cuban comfort food, plenty of flavor, and another enjoyable meal. There is a reason we keep coming back!

Next time I will try one of their plates, but I'm sure they are great as well. It's a small place on University Dr. and can be easy to drive by, but make sure and stop by and give it a try.

Who doesn't love tacos on a nice Saturday afternoon? Anyway, I heard the woman a few orders before mine ask if we had to do the tacos x2 (on the menu, they're listed as you getting two of the same tacos). He said you could mix it up if you wanted to try different tacos. When it was my time to order, I asked if I could do that as well, and he said I could. I ordered the sloppy taco and the fried avocado taco. Both sounded delicious, and I was going to share them with my girlfriend. She wanted to try those as well (I ordered before she texted me back... But luckily I ordered what she wanted). If you order two tacos that are different, they'll charge you the higher price of the two. That's totally OK with me, but just a heads up. They give you one of those alert squares that lets you know when your order is ready, that way you can go back to your table or whatever. I just hung out there and waited with the rest of the folks who had ordered. My buzzer went off, and I went to get my tacos. Instead of getting a sloppy taco and a fried avocado taco, I got two fried avocado tacos. They were busy, and I was content with getting two fried avocado tacos because they still looked delicious. The tacos were great. Nice crisp to the avocado. Flavor was spot on. Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance. Just thinking about them right now is making me hungry. I enjoyed the tacos, the staff was nice, and the truck is just a cool concept. I'd definitely try some of the other tacos in the future.
