Shrimp and vegeterian tortilla
Juanita W.

Chino catered for a birthday party I coordinated last month! First, he provided me with the opportunity to taste the offerings. His service exceeded my expectations! We enjoyed everything that he prepared! We had fajita chicken, grilled shrimp, vegetarian tortillas. The vegetarian dish was our most favorite! The fresh tortillas, chips, salsas, rice and beans was prepared to perfection! We had plenty left over and it still tastes great reheated! Thank you Chino for your excellent and professional service! My daughter also enjoyed her chicken quesadilla and had to take half of it to go.

My family and I traveled to Texas for vacation and gave this place a try for lunch. I am so glad we did. The food is amazing, great portions for the price. The service was good and overall we really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend and will be back in the future.

Eggs with Sausage taco

Little spot that i didn't even know existed! Glad I found this spot! This is my new favorite spot for breakfast tacos!! All the tacos were so good! And they pack the tacos! Well worth it!! The people there were so nice ! I am going back to try the other tacos!! Next time I will try the pan dulce as well!! Again best breakfast tacos in Lewisville!!

I am always on the hunt for a new taco spot to try, so while i was in the area i decided to check out what was available for pick up on Grubhub. Luckily this taqueria was located on the next block over, it's not off the main road so you really wouldn't see it passing by. I wanted to try a little bit of everything so i ordered a spicy potato taco(papas locas), pollo con chipotle taco, carne asada taco, and a single birria taco. All were fantastic and exceeded my expectations! I really didn't expect much from the potato taco but that was probably my favorite out of the 4. So much flavor and spice. The staff was so kind and welcoming, can't wait to come back.

This taqueria is very middle of the road. They have a fanstatic assortment of food (typically taquerias don't offer Mexican breads or certain types of food consistently...like posole). That said, their food doesn't knock your socks off. I didn't eat tacos so will judge it off different factors: Meat: 3/5. We tried their chicken chipotle, carnitas, asada. All tasted good but weren't amazing. The carnitas were a little mushy/wet instead of the crispy I prefer Tortillas: 4/5. I tried the sopes and my kids the gorditas, both were really nicely cooked and a good consistency. Other: 3/5. The salsa was really good but not memorable. The restaurant itself was very clean, tidy and well decorated, they put effort and love and money into this restaurant. I ate there at nighttime and it wasn't particularly full so I'm curious if there would be a different experience at lunch. I also want to try the tacos because often that can be a COMPLETELY different evaluation from the foods I ate.

Best birria tacos i've ever tried and the barbacoa meat in the gorditas is so good and tender. Definitely one of my favorite places in DFW Lewisville.

Located right on the street, it's a good spot to stop for a bite to eat and drink right there in the historic downtown Plano. They even source their meat from the local Ye Ole Butcher Shop that is right down the street. I opted for the McNeal's classic burger. Those burger patties are amazing. If you have never had one and are a burger lover, stop by here sometime or the butcher shop itself. The side of fries here are crisp, not soggy or flavorless. Definitely has the pub feel going on. If I lived closer I would probably call this place home. I have had different servers the times I have been, and the service has been friendly and spot on. Update: went again and ran into someone from my hometown. This is def a Cheers type place lol

Overall: 4.4/5 [dine in]…read more The service was amazing. The moment we walked through the front door someone approached us right away to make sure we got situated. We chose to sit outside to be near the live performance which was a great call. We got the Irish Flag ($20) which is a flight of 3 tea shots in green, orange, and white tea. It was pretty light but fun to try. We then saw our friends sharing a frozen margarita that looked too good to pass up so we ordered one too. I cannot believe they are only $10 because they are huge and definitely meant for sharing. They have a few flavors to choose from and I do not remember which one we got but it was good and strong in the best way. It sneaks up on you. No brain freeze either which was a bonus and it put us in a great mood for the rest of the night.

Our server had a scowl on her face from the moment she came to the table. (Long dark ponytail) It was 12:30pm & it was not busy (breakfast rush was over.) We had to get up three times to ask for things, our toast & pancakes, napkins, coffee. The three servers working were standing at the front counter talking away with each other our server, at one point, was talking on her cell phone. The food quality has gone down in recent months. Eggs were nice & hot, hash browns were cold, bacon had been good in the past, but our past two visits the bacon has tasted burnt & it has an odd flavor. Toast was over cooked, not buttered, it was not edible. The last time our coffee was refilled was by a man that looked like he had just come out of the kitchen. He was very nice & we were grateful that our coffee was being refilled without having to get up and ask for it. The servers were still lolly gagging behind the counter while the gentleman was refilling our coffee. I have worked in the restaurant business from being a server & also in management. I am very understanding of all angles of what is going on in a restaurant setting. The service on Saturday was the worst service I have ever experienced. Rude & unapologetic, it was as if we were inconveniencing her. We will not be returning.
