Pleasantly surprised! I have to admit my expectations were not too high when my friend who lives nearby invited me to the "neighborhood" shops and plaza area. The neighborhood is beautiful but the plaza area looked like a standard strip mall. Once inside my opinion started to shift. It has a small dining and bar area with a casual almost "divey" vibe. The bartenders were super helpful and engaging. The drinks were also up to snuff; the margaritas were made from scratch and even though I had three (yes, 3!) made by three different bartenders, they were all consistent. I was equally surprised with the bar food. We didn't get a full meal on this trip but we had a couple of apps and split some street tacos. All were really good. We spent a little time on the patio where I had my only complaint. It's in a great location with nice views and a pleasant breeze. Unfortunately it looks like an afterthought. It was a little dirty and run down; the inside vibe just didn't seem to carry through to the patio. Even so, I intend to go back! read more

The food is super yummy. A little skimpy on the chips but other than that great service, good food, and amazing drinks. read more

Hard to find but worth the catch. Eclectic Latin/ Mexican place. Nice patio. Had some Tacos and rice bowl. Good service. Will come back again to try other things on the menu. read more

We did the car side pickup, but there was no place to park right out front, so I parked several cars over, and they still brought my food out. We got the fajitas for 2, and it was great! I also got the margarita. Next time I'll get the bigger one - it was excellent! read more

This has become my family's de facto Taco Tuesday spot. The tacos and margaritas are amazing and on Tuesday's they are $3/$5 respectively. The patio has a great view of the Castle Hill pond and offers great views of sunsets. Above all else though, the staff is what makes this little place feel like home. James, Jackie, Adrian, Dolly, Shelby, and everyone else feel like part of our family every week! read more

Food is great!! I love the mimosa specials for brunch which is $7 but $1 refills! The staff was also very friendly and seemed like they were all good friends which is what I want to see at a local restaurant. I will definitely come back for brunch. read more

My wife and I come here for brunch so I haven't eaten off their normal menu, however the brunch is fantastic. Bottomless mimosas with different flavors (orange, mango, guava, passion fruit) - chilaquiles, tacos, etc. staff is friendly, place has a very relaxed vibe. Also seems to go a little unnoticed for brunch being next to PIE 314 so I highly recommend it for that. read more

Great little spot for date night! While their menu isn't huge (which suits the smaller restaurant) everything we ordered was delicious --the grilled oysters with candied bacon were a fun surprise but they also have all the TexMex classics you're looking for plus a great cocktail list to go with it! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Good food and great margaritas. Not a very big place. Staff is friendly and it does have an outdoor patio. Great neighborhood restaurant.

Food is delicious I ordered the balanced bowl with grilled shrimp and it was yummy .. will come back again ..reasonably priced .. I liked the outdoor seating read more

Came here for Sunday brunch this past weekend and it was fantastic. The service is absolutely amazing - everyone went above and beyond!! I had the breakfast tacos, my friends had the avo toast and we split chips and queso. All of it was delicious! Such a steal on the mimosas as well. $7 for the first and $1 for each one after that! Must try the blackberry read more

Cute concept, "hole in the wall vibe", unfortunately that includes the "hole in the wall" smell and filth. Better off as a bar that sells apps, I'm not sure what's going on here. Seems like a watering hole for heavy drinkers. Debris and dirt all over the floors, and literally every surface of the floors and walls are covered in spilled drinks or beer. The whole place smells like skunked beer and old vomit. It's absolutely dank in there, maybe I caught them on a bad day. Hate to leave a bad review but if you're easily skeeved out, steer clear. It's honestly disgusting I can't imagine the cleanliness of the kitchen if the customer facing areas are so filthy. read more

Where or where can I start, it was like an avalanche... I hate to be the person speaking badly but this isn't a covid issue. I seriously thought we were being punked- based on the reviews and pictures. 1. Walked in, just stares. No one seating or greeting. The bro-code was needed apparantly to get any interaction. Asked if we could sit at the bar with our 13 yr old since no one was there, but most tables full (two tables without chairs, the outside was dark)...apparently this was a difficult question. We were told no manager was there to tell them what to do. We sat ourselves at the last table across from the kitchen. 2. Teenagers everywhere but not a single person that knew how to run a restaurant. Zero interaction for 10 minutes at the table. The menu QR code didn't work. No drink menu. The Frat boy that was over talking to the group of late 40 yr olds that were drunk, was apparently the person in charge. 3. Filthy- the art with plastic covering had food/ drink splatters running down the front, floors were dirty, bathroom trashed with dirty toilet paper, running over paper towels, trash all over the floor, sink dirty, plastic menus with foods pieces, cabinets by the kitchen with food/ muck on the side, the yellow seating material had splatters of food all over. Watched the line prep kid wear gloves to wipe the counters and then put the same hands in the chips to bag them, same gloves to sweep the floor, same gloves to pick up our plates....do I need to go on? 4. Menu prices not the same as the bill (charges higher on every item) 5. Poor server that's training with no trainer insight, couldn't answer any questions. Order wrong even after asking the kid that's "in charge" (Still tipped him 20%) but good grief he'd be better off picking any other place to learn. 6. Had to ask for things that came with our order. 7. "In charge" Frat boy came over and "Wus sup'd" us, and asked if "Err thing cool guys" 8. The portion sizes were obviously cut. The cheese was the Walmart brand shredded cheese- I can't even. My kids burger was the biggest item on the table. 9. One of my pet peeves, if I (a woman) hand you a credit card, hand it back to me not the man at the table. 10. One positive, the beef on the bowl and burrito was fantastic. Compliments to the cook. If you're the owner of this restaurant... it's crying for help. read more

Came here for the $10 BOTTOMLESS mimosas! And our bartender was super nice and got us all flavors! A mimosa rainbow! read more

Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone about this amazingly quaint hacienda of eclectic food, fun, & friendly family service; that'll leave more room for the rest of us! James, Sean and staff are amazing. They treat their customers like family welcoming them into their home. I truly enjoyed my visit and the recommendations for bites, cerveza, and music. Please-- if you are not from these parts-- mosey on. Nothing to see here. I'm sure there are adequate libations down the road. Let the locals truly own and embrace their local haunt with loyalty, homage and allegiance. Salud! read more

We are regulars at Pie 314 for brunch, but we tried TBD tonight. The chef, who is always exceptional at 314, came out and said hello. These guys just put out great food and have the audacity to accompany it with good service. We love both places. Give them a try! read more

Finally checked this place after having it booked more for quite some time. Ordered chips and salsa which were very good. Thick crispy chips and the salsa had just the right amount of heat. I ordered the pulled chicken, beef steak and carnitas street tacos. All were very good with just the right amount of flavoring. The service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back if in the mood for street tacos. read more

The food, service & servers/bartender s are the best, especially Bree! I highly recommend you try T B Kitchen, you won't be disappointed!

This is one of my favorite places. My sister and I discovered the steak tacos; OUT OF THIS WORLD. Service is amazing. Maddie is the best server EVER and Andrew is an AMAZING bartender with a smile that lights the room! What a GREAT place to just hang out and socialize... and laugh and laugh. This restaurant is the crown jewel in The Village Shops of my neighborhood. read more

Love this place, must go in the castle hills area. Cute decor, patio, and a few TVs. Their brunch drink specials and food were amazing. Friendly and speedy staff. read more

Wanna a Latin getaway? This place is super cute. Food is great along with the drinks. We came on a great night, complimentary Dos Equis, margaritas and street tacos. The street tacos are phenomenal, try the carnitas and the chorizo. The bartender, Courtney, is outstanding. She has been super sweet and can multi task like nobody's business. It was busy night and she kept a smile on her face and made sure every patron was served. She knows her cocktails, and makes a mean Boliver's old fashion. We talked about flavor combinations that I liked and even let me sample a delicious non alcoholic mango chamoy drink. It was perfect! Why are you still reading this? Go there now! read more

Less than mediocre in my opinion. The place is tucked away in the cute little village shops of castle hills with a hipster like vibe. The menu is a spinoff of street food in Mexico with authentic drinks and tacos. The food was not great and the drinks were okay and the service was great. It's tough to open a tex mex restaurant in this area with the other surrounding restaurants that do it so well. A miss all around for me. The table ordered- the fajitas, the burrito, the hamburger, the guava limeade, and a cocktail I can't remember the name of (sorry!) read more

Love the food, but the staff is amazing!!! The staff are phenomenal with our son and so attentive. We love coming here!

One of the most underrated hidden gems of the metroplex, this place is the spot to socialize with a diverse group of mature people and the food and drinks are just awesome!! Luv this place read more

Came in last night and it was pretty busy, but despite that we were seated and served very quickly. The drinks were strong, the tacos were good, and the guacamole was great. We were checked on often but not too often. It was a good night, will be back! read more

Always amazing service. Bartenders are fun to chat with. Special drinks and menu items are constantly revolving (and evolving) - while still keeping up a few staples that are trusty go-to's. Everything has been fresh and delicious. Avocado taco and the fried Brussels sprouts are my fave. read more

This was probably one of the best taco houses I've been to. Though the wait was a bit longer than I wanted it to be, but the food was delicious and definitely worth the wait. The hamburgesa was really juicy with so much flavor to give and the street tacos were so soft. The waiters/waitresses were also really nice about everything! I really recommend this place to anyone whos in for good Mexican food!! read more

One of our fave taco places. Food is ahhh-mazing, drinks are always fun and creative, GREAT atmosphere. Can't beat $2 street tacos!! The charred octopus ceviche is delish. read more

Excellent experience! Came here for our 22nd wedding anniversary tonight. Sat on the patio and enjoyed the view of the park. A swamp cooler kept the patio tolerable on this muggy evening. Prompt and courteous service; excellent food. The free chips and salsa were great and the Cuban sandwich and skinny fries exceeded the waiters high recommendation. We plan to bring the neighborhood crew back soon! Another amazing local restaurant. read more

I walked in the restaurant for the fist time and a guy named Derek kicked me out right when I walked in and didn't let me open my mouth and started pushing me to leave. read more

It's great to see the improvement in customer service since my last visit this past winter. They've upgraded the bartender position on Friday nights and what a difference it makes! This place has always had superior food and drink, they just needed someone behind the bar who cares about the customers. and now they seem to have it. I am happy to recommend this place to all of my friends now. read more

I took a big group there on a Wednesday night - we had a great time on the patio, with excellent service and a variety of flavorful menu items! Thanks to the team at TBD who made our visit delightful! The Brussels sprouts, the foot long chicken enchilada, the taco special - just everything! read more

New fave near my house! I've only been here twice for brunch but both times were excellent! The staff is so nice and always incredibly helpful with menu questions. They have a mimosa special -$7 for the first and $1 for every mimosa after (you only need like 4 ) I ordered the Latin toast during my last visit (their take on French toast) and it was AMAZE. They also have a street taco deal during brunch & they're super tasty! Check it out if you're ever in the beautiful Castle Hills area....you won't regret it! read more

I absolutely love this place for brunch. Amazing service and awesome bartender for the TEN DOLLAR BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS!! And they are delicious too, no lack of quality in anything they do. I wish they had some more vegetarian options, and I even messaged the restaurant, but they must not look at yelp. Either way, we make due, they are super nice about any subbing we do. I don't know what they do to their eggs but they are fluffier than anywhere I have ever been. I'll come back again and again. read more

Taco Tuesday is the best here! Drink specials and their carnitas tacos are amazing. When I moved from California to Dallas, I missed the street tacos of LA food trucks until I had them at TBD. The seating is cozy and the food is amazing, this is our once a week spot to have some tacos and margaritas. read more

This has been our go to watering hole for quite sometime. We'll sling the occasional street taco and absolutely loved the Baja burrito when it was on the menu. We were recently encouraged to try the chilaquiles during weekend brunch. Side note. I eat chilaquiles from a gas station (#epic) but have been as far as Flagstaff for "world famous" chilaquiles only to be disappointed. TBD chilaquiles qualifies in the top two and shouldn't be missed. And of course the bar is unmatched anytime, except Monday! Open the damn bar on Monday. read more

I love this place so much! I am hesitant to review it because I want this to stay as a hidden gem! Lol the food is amazimg, great drink specials, super chill atmosphere! read more

Probably the best brunch we've ever had! First of all get to know James...interesting stories and we took everyone of his food recommendations. The steak/eggs combo (starts with a C) was a-mazing. The French toast will set you free. And my son got a chorizo and bacon breakfast burrito (he's super picky and said it was the best he's ever eaten). They put his poblano sauce on the side we all got to enjoy it and it was so great on everything I'd probably buy it by the jar. Definitely give them a shot for brunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

We've had three great dinners here. Interesting cocktails, love the changing menu and great service!! We got lucky and came on taco Tuesday. Can't beat $2 street tacos!! They even have a kids' menu. We will definitely keep coming back! read more
