Carnitas Torta
Haley M.

Maybe it was an off day, but our food was very disappointing. We ordered 2 carnitas tortas, a scrambled egg breakfast plate, and 3 breakfast tacos. The scrambled egg plate was not put in the bag, when I checked the digital receipt at home it was labeled "out of stock" but the restaurant didn't offer this information when I was picking up. I don't know if the tortas were an entirely different kind of sandwich but I can tell you there was zero meat, it was all fat(?) on both tortas. The fries that came with them were cold and looked like they were from yesterday. The bread and avocado was still good and at least we got three egg and potato tacos.

We placed a takeout dinner and picked it up. We ordered different type of Tacos, quesadillas and quezo. Cashier is friendly and patiently waiting for us to decide the orders.

Taco plate and chips & queso
Krista G.

When I think about the place, my first thought is "I'd go back". I'm a fan of their green sauce. It's like Frank's; I put that sh*t on everything. It's hot but still tastes like green sauce. The taco meat is flavorful and they aren't cheap on the meat. All the tacos were loaded and I couldn't pick a favorite. We've been a few times now and the quality has remained the same. Whether is Tuesday or Friday, you're getting a quality taco here. It's an easy place to go for pick up. We haven't eaten inside yet but look forward to order from here again. We order the chips this time and they are fresh made. So good. The queso doesn't match the quality of the chips; it's a little bland but you know how to fix that?! Add green sauce and suddenly the queso is fantastic.

My order.

I ordered my daughter's birthday dinner online, so we could try a new place. I picked up the bag of food, which was knotted and tied very tightly. I was told they had no queso. I said that's fine, I need my money back. I was given exactly $5.95 in cash. Taxes are a real thing, but I didn't complain. I left and opened the bag at home. Big mistake. As you can see in the picture, a variety of tacos were ordered. Please see the next picture where all of the tacos looked the exact same. I have no idea what this is. I immediately took the tacos back to the restaurant and they just happened to have locked their doors by 7:30pm. No one answered the phone or the door. The hours posted show 10pm closing and the Open sign was still flashing. This is extremely frustrating and ruined our dinner plans. The customer's phone number is visible on the order, and all they had to do was reach out if there was an issue. I did request a refund through Zing, so we will see what happens. 0/10 experience.

3 taco plate: al pastor, bistec, barbacoa
Shannah H.

I've not really found a terrific place for street tacos on the west side of 75 in Plano, until now. Friends of ours from the Dominican Republic told us to try Taquerias Cervantez. They did not lead us astray. We ordered the 3 taco lunch plate. A great price for 3 tacos, beans and rice, plus salsa. The best salsa, hands down, is the verde. Spicy and flavorful, but not a meal ender. For our tacos, we went with barbacoa, pastor and bistec. All were delicious, not overly fatty and flavorful. The tacos were packed with plenty of meat, so you got a great value for the money spent. Bottom line: Would I eat here again? YES. Am I saying all of this only because this is one of the only real street taco places west of 75? NO. Should you stop in? YES.

Barbacoa taco
Temina C.

I randomly found this incredible taco restaurant when I needed tacos. It's in a quiet plaza next to a bubble tea cafe in Plano. It's very quiet but they've been opened for decades. The menu is simple. They serve breakfast - dinner which is convenient. The first time I came here I ordered 10 tacos to go. It ended up being $1 per taco which was a good deal. The prices are very inexpensive which is why I love this place even more. I tried the chicken and the barbacoa tacos and when I tell you that this is the best taco restaurant in Plano that's an understatement. The food is DELICIOUS! The barbacoa was seasoned so well. It wasn't greasy but very meaty and delicious. They came with green and red salsa which were both very spicy but its good. I ended up coming here twice in one week because it was so good! I also got the rice and beans which are incredible as well! Everyone who works here is extremely kind and friendly. If you speak Spanish, that's a bonus as well! Overall this is my new taco restaurant! I can't wait to try their breakfast one day!

Chorizo Egg Taco and Cheese & Bean Taco
Lauren R.

Definitely enjoyed my tacos we picked up this morning. The tacos are small but cheap and really yummy. Two of these little tacos are perfect for a smaller breakfast! I had the chorizo and egg and the bean and cheese taco. I topped my tacos with the red salsa but be warned. If you can't handle a heat this is not for you.

Me and my husband decided to stop by for lunch . I was very pleased with the food . The portion looked great and so did the meat . I ordered the barbacoa tacos and it was perfect . Even my husbands torta looked great. ( I still stole some from his plate ) Let me tell you that even the fries were delish. The host was very nice and helped my baby into her seat . I definitely will be returning here for more !

Shredded Chicken Tacos
Nisha L.

I've moved from the area but was in the area today and had to try my old favorite taco spot to see if they were still hitting the same... and they are! Omg I miss this spot and living so close. A hidden gem in plank with the best street tacos! I ordered my usual chicken tacos on corn tortilla. They have THE BEST red sauce and the most seasoned sautéed onions I've had at a taco shop. I always order extra sautéed onions. They don't take too long but they've never been super quick cause everything made fresh. They're always so nice. It's never been glamorous on the inside: it's a taco shop? It's a few tables & you can sit down and eat. But you will always see some construction trucks or worker trucks in the lot cause this is where the real Hispanics go for authentic food tacos. They have some of the best seasoned meet around & the tortillas are always so soft. Miss them & will visit every time I'm in the area

Shredded Chicken Tacos
Ternesha W.

I love some authentic tacos and Taquerias Cervantez hit the spot. I got four shredded chicken tacos, they were full of flavor and juicy. The cilantro and diced onions definitely topped it off! The restaurant itself isn't super big, although you can eat inside, I took mine to-go. Pricing is very reasonable!

Love this place!! It's a cute little while in the wall joint with authentic food, great customer service, and nice little atmosphere. I got the chicken torta today. It was a little salty, but that's personal preference. The green sauce is amazing! So delicious on everything! The red salsa is spicy AF so be warned if you eat it! The churros are delicious! I definitely recommend eating them while they're hot and fresh! We've never had a bad experience here and if we have a complaint, it's taken care of immediately. The staff is super friendly and very customer service oriented! 10/10 will definitely be back!

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.

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 !

Incredible tacos at a reasonable price, especially considering how much meat they put on these…read moretacos! Every order is served on a little tray with chopped onion and cilantro on the side along with a little cup of charro beans. I've had the trompo (al pastor), barbacoa, and carne asada, and they were all incredible and VERY generous on the meat. Elote was decent and (as a fun fact) they have a self serve sauce and cheeto/takis dust area that you can top it off with. The restaurant is directly connected to a dessert shop with an expansive dessert menu and freezers full of $1.50 paletas (I suggest the rice flavor - kind of like a horchata on a stick).

My husband and I visited for dinner on a Friday night and it was pretty packed! There was no line to order at the counter, but many of the tables were already taken (though we did manage to get a table for the two of us). We tried a variety of items on the extensive menu, and my favorites were definitely the trompo tacos and the quesabirria tacos! The carne asada taco was good but I personally always prefer trompo / al pastor, and the volcanes was interesting to try. Unfortunately, the chicken taco was very bland and flavorless. Furthermore, the other thing that makes me hesitate to return is the fact that there was quite a bit of fat on the meat in the tacos, which made it more difficult to fully enjoy.
