Ok. These folks are super nice! The food is good. However, it's always a hot mess inside afternoons and weekends. Teenagers, are not as careful and it shows. The tables and floors are dirty with flakes of food. Just down right dirty. Ugh. Not sure when they ever wipe them down, if ever. Of all the tables on several visits I couldn't find a clean table to sit and eat. It's a taqueria? But, still offer table seating. I'm so confused. Not the usual spotless Mexican kitchen. The floors are dirty. Ugh. Crumbs all over the floor and it's sticky. I think most folks use Uber Eats. That's why they don't have a standard inside. Usually, kids, and I mean kids 16 and younger are running the counter and kitchen. The bottles are never wiped down. Caked on food on ketchup, green sauce, and red sauce bottles. Thus far I've not gotten sick. They don't speak English, but then I don't speak Spanish. So it's a wash! I'll probably go back. And pray every time I don't get sick. Thus far I've dodged the bullet! I'd like to support a small business. However, the prices are stupid crazy! Salsa and chips are $5.50. Refills are $1 each time for salsa. Pay up front too. Then they serve you. Don't expect refills either you have to pay first. ( I still leave a tip, but probably shouldn't). Food is always decent! Just know when eating in, it's not up to expectations as a consumer. Make your own judgments. Sticking to Uber eats may be your best bet! That way you don't see what really goes on inside this establishment. June-September 2024 read more

The service here was amazing everyone was so kind and helpful. The chicken was super fresh and tender in the tacos and enchiladas and the churros were hot fresh and very delicious. The restaurant setting was casual and fun and the owner and the guy at the register were super nice which enhanced our experience. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you!! read more

Super simple, no frills taqueria. Great plates, good tacos, great service, good price. Fabulous tacos. For real. Loved the enchiladas which with the red sauce had just a little kick (thank you! I love some spicy). I got to use both the red sauce and the Avo cream sauce and I liked both sauces on the enchiladas. Tip: The charro beans taste great poured on the rice. read more

Shorted my order by 1 Bistec taco and the two they did give my wife, it was ALL fat and not a single piece of actual meat.. then they gave me a taco that wasn't what I ordered so I got shorted one of my carnitas tacos and given one that tasted like dog food.. Then the Mexican rice I ordered didn't come per their description or photo, it was white rice? read more

We ordered: Torta, enchiladas de pollo con salsa de avocado, enchiladas w queso sauce. Tacos de tripa. The food was very good, the rice and beans were caseros had that home made taste. If you can't get the rice and beans down then sorry move on to the next place. Definitely recommend, I prefer to support them instead of the large chains. read more

Taquerias cervantez - 32oz Horchata & 2 Churro Cajeta - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

I'm going to give this place five stars even though the burrito was small, I have noticed that many Mexican restaurants in Dallas don't make a burrito the same way as they do in Southern California. I got a chorizo and egg burrito (breakfast all day) and it was delicious even though it was small, more like a flauta than a burrito. However, I am assuming the flavor of the other food is delicious and I will be going back to try it. And their green sauce is the bomb by the way, like a creamy tomatillo packed with flavor! read more

Mi experiencia fue mala. No habia suficiente personal, solo la cajera y cocinera , por ellas pondria 5 estrellas porque hacen muy bien su trabajo. Sin embargo considero q haria bien tener una persona mas, apoyando. Nuestra orden tomo algo de tiempo, pues ambas empleadas estaban muy ocupadas y al final llego primero la comida q los apritivos y el café. Ellas nno se daban abasto con la cantidad de personas q ordenaban en ese momento. El baño de mujeres no funciona bien y fue algo molesto. Finalmente en la cuenta, el precio de las cosas no coincide con el servicio, no lo vale. La comida un poco salada. Regresaremos esperando nos toque mejor servicio. read more

The carnitas quesadilla was entirely lard. No meat. Just fat. I'm North Mexican and had to ask my family if that's how carnitas are served elsewhere. Was obviously not very enjoyable. I can only speak to that singular menu item however. read more

Great service and amazing food!! Would highly recommend. I ordered 2 al pastor tacos and 1 steak with rice and beans. read more

Taquerias cervantez - 4 Taco Plate, 32oz Horchata, Chips and Queso - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

Got a to-go order of 4 tacos, and just about everything was wrong about my order, which of course I didn't realize until I got home with my food. I got corn tortillas, instead of flour. I ordered two barbacoa, one pastor, and one shredded chicken. I got 4 barbacoa, which were inedible because of how much fatty meat I ended up getting. Very disappointed with this experience. read more

Our first time at this place and we had to wait for the chips and guac. So what, right? Well the big deal is you have to wait because they are making them fresh!!!! So much better than them pulling them out of a bag and throwing them at you immediately. We will wait to get great food every time! We tried the burrito and the street tacos. The street tacos were the best we have had in Texas so far...and we've been here for years. We have tried good Mexican food, ok Mexican food but with Taquerias Cervantes, we have had Excellent Mexican food! The pricing is so reasonable and the man working was so nice and helpful since it was our first visit. I already suggested to my husband that we go back the next day and he was on board, no argument. The salsa has two levels..one is a green probably avocado mix and the red is a spicy one. Normally you get spicy OR flavorful, but not here! Loved them both and had to talk myself out of using more even with face on fire. Can't wait for our next trip....probably tomorrow. read more

This is a top tier Hispanic food place great for the whole family if you truly like this kind of food you'll love this place

Oh my. This is one of those places I want to keep secret....but I also want to tell the world about so they stay open forever! This is the real deal folks, and it's right here in old town Allen. The tortilla chips are fried in house and amazing. Get the chips and queso. I ate the burrito picante and it was spicy and perfect! And they serve killer breakfast tacos all day long. I'm in love. read more

I had the chicken enchilada and beef taco w guacamole. Excellent food at great prices. It's located near the Allen library where La Finca used to be. read more

Taquerias cervantez - Chicken enchilada. Beef taco. Guacamole. - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

After many friends recommended this place, again and again I had to give it a shot. Being a native to Texas I really appreciate good TexMex. But having also lived in Mexico, there's times when I just want legit Mexican. Word on the street is that this place hits the spot when you want authentic Mexican. It's a small restaurant located in what I refer to as old Allen. I stopped in today to get a "super burrito" with fries. It's got beef fajita, fries, beans, all the fixings. This burrito did not disappoint. It was perfect and the hit sauce they provide is exactly as I want it... Spicy. The server was pleasant and I always appreciate the opportunity to speak Spanish. They serve tacos de lengua, de cabeza, etc. Everything on the menu is exactly what you'd hope to see in a place like this. My only complaint is the price. The bill was $16.90. With a tip it ran $20. $20 for an old school Mexican burrito, no drink, is a lot of money IMO. read more

My husband fell in love with the green chicken enchiladas! He said they reminded him of his moms cooking from his childhood, & I can't get enough either! Authentic as it can get! read more

I wanted some tacos, so I went here the sign said they were open but the door was locked. So I tried calling and no one answered! So not sure if they are closed but if they are open what horrible service!! read more

Heard about this place in a group on Facebook and decided to give it a try. SOOOO glad we did! The beef enchiladas with queso was wonderful and the churros... SO GOOD! We will for sure be back! read more

AMAZING al pastor tacos, in this economy its crazy that you can buy 10 of them for only $14!!! Service was amazing, not long of a wait, fine environment, but food is all that matters no? I have been to so many taquerias but none have compared to the value and taste of this location, I believe its very sad that the location is in such a run down, hidden part of allen, these guys deserve so much more business, I have put so many of my friends on this place and they have all enjoyed it. I also recommend the churro cajeta (churro with dulce de leche caramel like filling) Did I mention the salsas they provide and how tasty they are? I load my tacos with them and the fresh al pastor meat and cilantro compliment it so well. 10/10 best authentic street mexican tacos I have ever had. read more

I usually go by the Yelp ratings to check out a place. For our experience the ratings were too high. We have been to this place under three different business names. We thought the last two were much better. The food had no flavor. The chips are made to order and you will wait 15 minutes for them to come out of the fryer. The place is very clean and the folks good not be nicer. I hate to leave a poor review but we will not be back read more

SOOOOO GOOOD!! Breakfast burritos, the chips and salsas!! The price. Love this find!! read more

This is a great Taqueria. The food is fresh, and they use quality ingredients. The service is good, and the food arrived promptly. We will definitely be back. read more

Great food! Hidden Gem in Dallas. Their hours aren't always correct online but when they are open the food is amazing! They have great beans and quality textures. 13/10 would highly recommend! read more

My boyfriend and I have been going all over DFW trying to find the best tacos and this one has made it to the top of our list. The customer service is phenomenal. We both get the bistek taco combo with rice and refried beans. We have already become friends with the owner at the counter! read more

This is the GOOD Taquerias Cervantez! Don't eat at the one in downtown Plano. They seem to have the same menu but here everything is delicious and fresh. We accidentally went to the other one thinking it would be the same and it was night and day. read more

Unassuming but awesome. Looking forward to my next trip. Great horchata. Don't let the outside turn you off.

You know this place use to be great. We loved ordering from here. But the past 4-5 times, not only had our orders been wrong, but they've been bad. Tonight we ordered 10 tacos. We got 8. And half of them were wrong. The queso was set up. They only have us a handful of chips. The last couple times they also got to taco orders wrong and didn't give us chips at all for the queso. It's really sad, Because the first couple times we would have died on a hill for this place. We probably won't be ordering again fool me once shame on you. Fool me six times, shame on me. read more

Good authentic Mexican food. Good service and usually quick. Nice e quaint restaurant with very reasonable prices. Over the past few months, they gained in popularity. Even busy past 9 PM. read more

The customer service is ok but the food more than makes up for it in flavor and quality. It looks like a regular ol industrial building when you drive past but it's worth the stop. read more

I was impressed by the delicious and authentic Mexican food served at this small but amazing taqueria. The tacos are beyond my expectations in this part of TX . No Tex mex here, but only real Mexican food. I appreciate the friendliness of the staff. Juan and Stephanie were very friendly and accommodating. I strongly recommend this place. Beats all other Mexican places in north Tx. You have to try this place!! read more

Been trying different places for tacos. Went here around 1:30pm today, Tuesday. The owners were especially friendly and nice, and helpful with helping me pick out flavors. Everything was so fresh, and tasted SO GOOD!!!! I had the chicken tacos, and they were loaded with chicken. Highly recommend! :) read more

Delicious., great service and good prices. Can't wait to dine there again! We had pork, beef and chicken tacos. Also churros for dessert, highly recommend read more

First time here. Waited 20+ mins for 6 breakfast tacos (if that is what you want to call them). After 18 mins went to ask to cancel order and was told couldn't cancel because did not know how to refund money on computer. Felt bad for girl because she was only person working (taking walk-in and phone orders and cooking) but that is ridiculous. Should have walked out when asked if make tortillas and was told both corn and flour were from a package. I may not live in the this part of Texas but when you order breakfast tacos in Texas you don't except them to be size of street tacos. Street tacos and breakfast tacos are two entirely different categories. This is definitely not a Mexican breakfast restaurant. read more

Great food and worth going out of your way for. Tacos are my favourite but the super burrito is not only good but enough food to serve 2.

Decided to stop in for breakfast last weekend. Best decision of the weekend for sure!! Chips and salsa were delightful, chips were fresh fried and salsa was fresh, not terribly spicy, but delicious. Then....our breakfast. Husband got the Mexicana breakfast burrito, it was huge and packed full of all the things a Mexican breakfast burrito should have! Eggs, cheese, beans, and meats.....delicious. I had the carnitas tacos. Holy cow. Maybe the best carnitas I have had. The shredded pork was charred on the grill to crispy perfection. The green salsa was good, but the orangy colored salsa was to die for. Super spicy but also oh so flavorful. Our server was sweet and very attentive, and the cook came out and spoke with us. They believe in making stuff fresh, and it shows. I had to get the spicy salsa to go and have been enjoying at home. It is HOT but the flavor is just fantastic. We will be back!! read more

Excellent food! Everything seems freshly made and customer service was awesome. Horchata was amazing.
