Taco Delite

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.

A good friend of mine recommended this restaurant to me. We arrived around 6:45 p.m. and there were…read morealready a few parties waiting outside. 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.

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.

A red salsa which was mild and has some nice acidity from the tomato. Then there was a creamy green salsa that had a nice spice. Then finally my personal favorite a great black bean dip. These paired well with the free chips. My partner ordered the queso birria, great flavor and a great consume. Then I had the poblano enchiladas which was the best dish of night! The poblano sauce was creamy cheesy and delicious. There was a nice spiced shredded chicken super tasty. Overall a fantastic restaurant with great service too !

We started with the Guacamole de la Mesa, prepared fresh tableside, and it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and you could really taste the difference. Watching it being made right in front of us added a fun touch to the experience, and the flavor was spot-on; fresh, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. For my entrée, I ordered the chimichanga with creamy jalapeño sauce, and it was phenomenal. The chimichanga was crispy on the outside while remaining flavorful and tender inside. The creamy jalapeño sauce was the star of the dish, adding just the right amount of richness and a subtle kick without overpowering the other flavors. Every bite was delicious. My girlfriend ordered the quesabirria tacos, and they were equally impressive. The tacos were packed with flavorful, tender meat and perfectly crisped tortillas loaded with melted cheese. The consommé on the side brought everything together and made each bite even more satisfying. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food came out promptly, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. It's clear that El Norte takes pride in both quality and presentation. We'll definitely be coming back, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for fantastic Mexican food. Easy five stars!

This food is made with love and care. So flavorful, yes, but I notice some things. It is perfect in its imperfections. Everything speaks of being Handmade, nothing processed, and it spoke to my taste buds. The Pupusas are flavorful, cheesy, and heavy, but it is cut with the freshness and lightness of the pickled cabbage. I have only had pickled veggies from a can, so I could taste the difference immediately. This is fresh, freshly made. The carnitas tacos are packed with flavor, and I can tell that the tortillas were made there. The rice is fresh, and the refried beans are even handmade. Burritos were good yesterday, better today. Yesterday, the balance seemed off, like too many of the ingredients were clashing. Today, the balance tasted just right. Like just the right amount of everything that comes inside the burrito. I am from Southern California, and I have found my Mexican food! I wish this place nothing but the best: good spirits, good health, and prosperity. Thank you to the owner and chefs.
