Ambiance: A cute casual sit-down restaurant. Service: The servers were friendly! Our food came pretty quickly after ordering. Food: The salsa for the chips was great! It had a very Smoky and rich flavor. I ordered 2 tacos à la carte: The smoked elote chicken was good, but a bit too salty for my taste! The beef fajitas taco was great. I wish the tacos came with additional salsas like traditional taco joints.

Chilaquiles

First time here - very attentive staff. Plates were reasonable for the size and it was absolutely delicious!! I would definitely come back.

I cant believe this! I ordered Cabo Fish and Ocho Maya plate to go. I was super hungry, As I was driving, I ate almost all of 1st one, I felt some meat smell in the beginning and assumed its fish. I had to stop driving and park the car to open and actually see what I was eating, I think it is either pork or beef, It is surely not chicken. I dont eat beef or pork, I surely did not taste chicken. I am a hindu and I dont eat beef. I am extremly angry for this location to make me eat beef/ Pork.

Nachos
Demon S.

Food was freshly made and a nice waiter (Diego) immediately brought drinks and suggested an appetizer. I ordered the veggie tostadas, nachos and veggie burrito to go. Then I ordered every single vegan taco. I was pleasantly surprised when they came out because all the vegetables were seasoned well & cooked perfectly. The nachos were delicious because they were piled high with toppings and not soggy. I also noticed they generously added slices of avocado! My favorite taco was the "Rico Ocho". It had potatoes and a nice chili sauce. The waiter kindly brought me extra sauces to go with everything. I recommend the vegan tacos and tostadas, since not only are they healthy but tasted rich with culinary culture that isn't easy to find. 5 stars for the wonderful variety of vegetarian options & great customer service.

This is a counter-service establishment and you get your drinks so it's great for larger parties!! I love the stubborn sodas, so yay!! The food was good but the brisket tacos had more onions than brisket so my kid hardly touched that and the beef Colorado tacos were so spicy she couldn't finish the first bite! She ended up eating a chicken quesadilla so she didn't go to bed hungry. The rice is great when dipped in the black beans! It's a nice place e to try! I

Chips and Salsa
John B.

A local chain restaurant embedded in Dallas' sprawling suburbia. I don't know that every single thing is necessarily bigger in Texas, but the tacos here definitely were. My taco platter included two large tortillas, neither of which could quite hold the fillings they came with. Fortunately, things mixed well with rice and beans and some chips that were left over after I went through the salsa. Many vegetable-based options were offered, and I was quite happy with the ones I chose. It was tough to pick between the tacos and some of the more creative options, including a chickpea torta and a non-cheese quesadilla. This certainly exceeds my expectations for a taco chain in this area, and based on what I ordered, the rest is probably delicious as well.

Madre Tierra Taco (VEGAN)  Pura Vida Taco (VEGAN)
Ramya R.

It's a cute local taco place with a good assortment of vegan options. Tried two of their vegan tacos-Madre Tierra Taco and Pura Vida Taco. Of these too I loved their Madre Tierra with kale and Uruguayan sauce-warm,delicious and flavorful. Pura vida was ok as I prefer my tacos warm than the ones with cold fillings. Looking forward to trying out their other vegan tacos. Customer service was good and the restaurant was clean.

Ocho Burrito with Chorizo
Josh M.

Walked in close to lunchtime with a craving for some breakfast burritos on a gloomy day. I was met with smiles and the recommendation to try the chorizo and I went with bacon for good measure. They almost forgot to toss the salsa in the bad but close call was adverted and flavor what salvaged. As for the burritos the eggs were fresh and tortillas nicely charred but some fine tuning might be needed for an extra visit for breakfast. Potatoes were still a touch crunchy and both came with corn which made for an interesting addition but not one I'd make on my own accord. Otherwise salsas help to boost the flavor and the chorizo was a nice addition. Not bad but not my top spot for breakfast burritos. On to the next!

Smoked Chicken Elote Taco and the Brisket Taco (with little sweet plantains hiding under all that meat).
Cassandra R.

My son is a nacho lover. I wish I'd grabbed a photo of the tower presented to him, but it looked so good we took a dive in and never looked back. Stubborn sodas are on tap and that's an easy win for me (well, really for him because I will say yes to sugar easier than corn syrup). I took a cute photo of my Chicken Elote Taco but the plantains hiding under the brisket was the best. I'm also 100% biased toward plantains. The Elote chicken taco tasted... chemically? Weird? I'm not sure. The brisket wasn't bbq brisket. It was stew-style brisket. It was good, but not what I originally expected. But you know already that I don't care because of the plantanitos. Overall, it was fine. We would go again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there.

Nachos with brisket! So yummy!

The food was okay overall. It was very cheesy, and I wish they came with a little more rice. The complimentary tortilla chips with bean dip, salsa verde, and the regular salsa were all delicious. The restaurant has a nice décor and plenty of seating. We were seated at a high-top table for six with elevated chairs. I would've preferred a regular table, but it wasn't a big deal. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit.

I came here with a work group and we were seated somewhat quickly. First off - their house-made salsas and black bean dip were incredible! I could've made a meal from those alone! We had delicious cocktails and passed around a sampling of appetizers - pupusas, tamales, and plátano fritos. I ordered a trio of tacos that were great, along with a prickly pear margarita (amazing!). The brisket taco was the real standout of the group. Overall, my experience at Gloria's was great - delicious food, attentive service, and fair portions.

Until my most recent visit, Casa Pollastro was one of my favorite restaurants in the DFW area…read more Unfortunately, I did not love this last visit. First of all, I got an email inviting me to come visit the restaurant with a buy one get one free, but it kind of seemed like they were annoyed that we were using it. This could be just my anxiety, but I felt like we were treated a little bit less warmly by some of the staff than other tables. For example, a manager of some type was walking the floor. He stopped at the table before us and checked in on them, skipped us and went to the table after us and checked in on them, and then only on his way back to wherever he was going, he stopped reluctantly and acknowledged us. It definitely made me feel like we were not as welcome as the other tables. Second, I don't like the inclusion of the picanha for the higher price (vs. what they were doing before which was an upcharge if you wanted the steak), because the protein that I like at Casa Pollastro is the chicken. I don't really love their steak and do not want to pay $10pp more for it. Lastly, what I had loved about this restaurant in the past was that it felt like I was enjoying a meal at a family home, served with love and care. I think that they've made some changes which are smart for a restaurant, but it took away a lot of the warm and fuzzies for me. It felt like they're trying really hard to be a high-end restaurant but what I remember from this last experience was coldness and putting profit first. Now I can't be mad if they want to grow up as a restaurant and this is just part of the growing pains, but I will mourn the loss of the experience that we loved so much that we chose to have our engagement party at this restaurant. We will not be back.

First timer here!…read more Food 5/5: first time trying Brazilian food and it did not disappoint! The portions are perfect as a first time timer. I love the appetizer dishes. You are allowed to order 3 dishes each round for the apps. They come around with the pasta and meat portions. Bad thing is that you can never say no! Ambiance: it felt so cute and cozy! There was live music and gave such a homey vibe for a high scale restaurant. Looking around, every table was there to celebrate some kind of event so make sure to make reservations! Service 5/5: we made reservations prior and we came for a birthday celebration. Our server was AMAZING. he explained everything to us and gave recs! I wish I got his name but he was fantastic! Took care of us and always checked in :) Parking: free parking around the building!

This is a small place, so basically we have 6-7 tables and we went on a Friday afternoon after lunch rush and got the last table. The word is out! The folks inside were super nice. Wife got the empanada appetizer as she was not super hungry, but that was still more than enough for one person. I got the Ajiaco and I will happily recommend it to anyone!! One thing that I want to point out - if you have not had Latin American cuisine it IS NOT like Mexican cuisine and it IS NOT spicy! Take a trip to Colombia in Allen! We will be coming back again!!!!

We ordered the breakfast arepa, the eggs Benedict and an order of pancakes. The arepa dish was absolutely flavorless. The brisket was tender but had no flavor whatsoever. The arepa was too hard to cut into so I had to just pick it up with my hands. It came with breakfast potatoes that were fine. The eggs Benedict was not cooked right, at all. A poached egg should be soft & runny on the inside and as you can see from the picture, the eggs were overcooked. The pancakes were fluffy, dry and flavorless. It came with a side of whipped cream which saved them. The best thing about the meal was the blackberry- limeade drink, which is sad because unless the place is known for beverages, it should not be the star of the show. As a positive, our waitress was very nice. We were excited to try this place but as no surprise, will not return.
