    Broken party taco with basically no lettuce
    Jenna H.

    So my husband went on a Saturday night. I'm sure that is a busy time and we received all of our food, so that was a plus! The quality of the food was not so great. My mucho nachos had no cheese!!! Our tacos also looked pretty pathetic. The plus was that they gave us plenty of salsa. Other branches have told me they were not allowed to give me a decent amount of salsa even if I paid for it!

    We stopped in at this location to use our "A Wholotta Box" coupon. There was a note on the drive through menu apologizing for the wait ahead of time because they are short staffed. After we paid at the window we were asked to pull into a front parking spot where they told us they'd bring our order out to us. We waited 15 minutes and then our box was brought out to us. Y'all, the tacos and burritos were freshly made and hot, the rice and beans were generous portions, and the chips fresh & crispy!! Of course, the 8oz salsa topped it off perfectly! WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Sweet young lady multitasking & working tonight, bless her for caring and doing such a great job. Our box was packed so carefully!! Definitely recommend this location even though there's a bit of a wait. We will be back!!!

    Burrito with fingernail punctures

    This is a disgrace to the Taco Bueno I grew up with. I got to leave for my lunch break early so I went through the drive thru. Figured I could spend the leftover time to catch up with mom things. Drive thru was a nightmare. The guy isn't talking into the microphone and I had to repeat my order FIVE times. I pull up and the guy at the window (had the drive thru headset on) had to go over my order another THREE times. 3 muchacos, quesadilla meal, party burrito and a nacho meal. I drove off thinking surely after 8 times of repeating it, it should be fine. I drive all the way back to work to find they forgot half of my coworkers meal and half of mine. I tried calling and they wouldn't answer. So I used that extra time I was wanting for errands to go back up there to the drive thru to play the repeat game again with the guy to only get what I paid for. No apology, no extra food, nothing. Then I got back to work and sit with my cold nachos and open one of my items and see this. Fingernail punctures. Wasted time, wasted money and took one bite of food. $34 down the drain for terrible food and service. Our office will not come back and whomever they tell this story to will not and I sure won't! Disgusting! Hire someone who can properly work the drive thru

The service is great, and the Chicano art painted throughout the restaurant gives the whole place such a cool, authentic vibe. We always share the combo because you get a little bit of everything, and trust me, it will definitely fill you up. Seriously, get it. This is our number one taco spot in DFW, and after your first visit, it might be yours too.

    First time here and it was such a positive experience. I was a little confused about dressed code…read morebut it really is a mix. We were over dressed but there were some really casually dressed people so I'd say just come hungry or sort of hungry. I had seen all the buzz about the fried cactus and as someone who has grown up eating all my life I was intrigued on how this would be any different. Boy was I wrong. In fact, I would be happy enough just coming and eating only this. I have some sort of food limerence where I cannot stop thinking about this. Like daily! I want it so bad. No it was a whole experience because waiter placed this bowl towering with a mountain of curly crunchy ribbons. He kindly gave us his advice on the best way to eat it. You take their fresh made blue corn tortilla, pile on the cactus, don't be shy, if it fits in your mouth just go for it, then that green sauce was heavenly. All the flavors combined made me levitate. That would've been embarrassing. You could easy fill up on this alone given enough time and privacy. I just wanted a moment alone to enjoy fully ha ha. I then ordered the Chile en Nogada and the picture alone was enough for me to go yes we're on our way immediately. However listen I am a self proclaimed gift wrapping queen. I know a good ribbon and a good bow. I know that the typical dish has a bow - yes a fabric bow but this bow was not up to the standard of this restaurant, unfinished edges, and the color satin gold was not really representative of the environment. Good thing the bow is not edible but visually it could use a little improvement. The dish itself was 4 out of 5 for me only because I have had this dish before at a more casual space and every component of the dish was full flavored, where this one feels a bit safe. For dessert I was a little unimpressed with the options. I am not a fan of tres leches so I did not order their most famous desert but instead opted for another one that was a pastry with ice cream on top. I also give it 4 out of 5 its needing more flavor and sweetness, I mean this is dessert. The five stars is more for the service. Our server was amazing. He described every dish we ordered as if we were watching a Netflix documentary of a chef competition and they just submitted their dish. The table next to us got an amuse bouche compliments of the chef and I didn't want to be too nosy and peek over so I have no idea what it was. I was really hoping we'd get one too because honestly I was still hungry after all that. Oh cocktails. We ordered a drink before our table was available and I was not playing. I remember ordering a glass of bubbly rose and when our server brought it he served me a sip and had me try it before I decided, but honestly I wanted to tell him that I couldn't feel my face just pour it.

At first glance it seemed very cool, ambience was very welcoming, like we were at a family members home. However, the issues began when it was time to order. There were so many exclusions available after lunch time that we didn't really know what we ordered. My friend and I ordered margaritas...barely a drop of alcohol in either and were melted when they arrived. The other thing is a server brought out a plate of nachos (large tortilla with melted cheese) but didn't tell us it was two separate orders. Another friend ate mine by accident. Our server spilled some of my margarita on the table then wiped her hands on our tablecloth. Absolutely unsanitary. I ordered the small enchilada plate and $22 later I was disappointed. Food was mid at best, nothing was spectacular or cause to return. The cash only rule was fine until they told us they wouldn't split the check. Keep in mind that we barely know what each of us ordered since the server suggested items not found on the menu. I just added $40 and said good day. I've had DoorDash deliver better Mexican food than this.
