Empanadas
Trinh T.

The Reserve in Las Colinas is a modern Mexican Restaurant in the heart of Irving-Las Colinas. It's a mixed bag, but it's also authentic and has a great deal on Taco Tuesdays. ($2.50 per taco) This review focuses on Taco Tuesday. It's worth checking out if you're in the area on a Tuesday evening. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (for Taco Tuesday, 3 Stars on any other day) Atmosphere - The Reserve is a big restaurant with a dedicated bar and outdoor seating. It has a modern Mexican aesthetic, but on my multiple visits, it wasn't full. So, it's a great location if you need a place without making reservations. 1 Star. Service - Out server was friendly, but she was managing several tables on her own (Taco Tuesday crowd), and she did what she could. She was attentive when she could be, but the wait times for ordering and getting food were longer than expected. Not her fault but experienced it. 1/2 Star. Food - I ordered two barbacoa tacos. They were served with sauteed onions, crumbled queso fresco, and cilantro on traditional corn tortillas. The barbacoa was flavorful, well-seasoned, and a little oily, but also super tender. I also ordered the empanada, which looked beautiful on the plate--golden, crisp edges and a nice drizzle of sauce. Unfortunately, the taste didn't quite match the presentation. The filling was a bit bland and dry, and the pastry lacked the flakiness I was hoping for. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out the way the tacos did. 1 1/2 Stars. Return? - Yes.....but only for Taco Tuesday. The location and pricing make it a great midweek hangout spot. I'm curious to try other tacos but maybe skipping the empanada next time. 1 Star.

Chips & Salsa

Upscale Mexican. This is the old BD's Mongolian BBQ, which was replaced by Terra Mediterranean. Beautiful remodel with upscale entrees. I had the lunch tacos for $17. Beef fajita meat was tender and flavorful. The rice is perfectly cooked with odd frozen veggies. The beans have wonderful chunks of ham and frozen green beans. The chips are fanciful colors with a brownish salsa. The tacos come with sautéd onions and cilantro infused raw onions as well as fresh lime wedges. The meat was a bit grisly but mostly tender. The place is a bit expensive but a lovely experience overall

We went here to celebrate a birthday for a girlfriend-- they were very accommodating when we had to push the time back. Initial impression, it's a very nice space and lots of cute decor and huge bar area. Definitely great for large parties. When we visited, it did have a strong sewage smell, so I had to deduct points for that. We ordered a trompo taco tower for the table, plus guac and queso -- the food was really good and we loved the complimentary salsa we got with the chips. The drinks were all great and strong! We did not order actual food there because the service was lacking; another reason why I'm giving this place 3 stars. Despite the nice location and good food, we had so much trouble getting basic requests (more chips/salsa, drink refills etc) and our checks was a complete mess. I did order food to-go and that took forever to bring out. Our waitress mentioned she was feeling overwhelmed dealing with personal issues; we're not heartless but at the same time, take the day off or ask for help. We would actually like to go back and give this place another try, but it might be a while.

The salsa was so good
Kristyn M.

Showed up during happy hour. Not a lot of people were in there. The tacos and salsa were surprisingly delicious. I decided to come here as I found it on yelp and I'm so glad I did

Mexican candy
Angie O.

The taco tower was cold and pretty expensive to be cold. The queso was delicious. I got the Mexican Candy alcoholic beverage. It was watery and no alcohol at all to me. Our waitress is were very pushy and rushing. We had a reservation! cute place to take pictures but the bathroom smelled horrible!!!

Lil afternoon pit stop
Zach M.

We were out and about and wanted to stop somewhere for a quick afternoon drink. Service was spectacular, drinks were prepared in ice cold glasses! We will definitely be back to check out the menu options and the patio for live music!

The 3.4 star review on yelp is pretty accurate. Came on a Sunday for brunch. Staff was friendly but the service and food are mediocre. Flavors were acceptable and they have a good $10 bottle mimosa special. However, the queso flameado is mislabeled and it was a big disappointment. It was not real "flameado" melted cheese but more like runny white nacho cheese. Also, on the chilaquiles the sauce was hot but everything else on the plate was cold.

Came by and had a few margaritas and some chips and salsa. They have a great bar and the chips were complimentary. Enjoyed the stay, maybe next time will do food.

Taco Plate
Marica M.

This place was very underwhelming for dinner. We came in on a Sunday night at 7pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at all, however the service was ridiculously slow. There were only 3 people in our party so it's not like we had a lot of people to wait on. Our server never came back to refill our waters on her own so we had to keep asking her to do so. The food took a while to come out and when it did, it was barely lukewarm. We all had ordered the taco plates and had similar experiences. Of the three tacos that I got, the only redeeming one was the trompo taco. We read after the fact that this restaurant is known more so for brunch and that other people also experienced the slow service as well. Unfortunately, I do not plan on coming back here ever again.

Costillas
Chris S.

Came back to find out about the evening vibe! Husband and I came in on a Tuesday evening and were seated immediately, our table wasn't the cleanest tbh. The chips and salsa was just ok. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and made great suggestions for dinner. We opted for the enmoladas (amazing and delicious) and the costillas (really good). Not your typical tex-mex place but delicious food! Worth a visit for sure! Enjoy!

Trompo Tacos
Justine A.

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday with my mom and enjoyed it. It was Taco Tuesday and we ordered the trompo tacos, they were SO good. Maria Mendoza was our server and she went above and beyond to serve us. She was very attentive and checked on us regularly. Water and coffee stayed topped off.

Enchilada Plate
Robert M.

We came here for Mothers Day after seeing a TikTok. We were pleasantly surprised at how great this establishment is, food was amazing. Best part was the service. Very attentive and they were able to accommodate our every need. 10 out of 10. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Joanna H.

I enjoyed the trompo tacos! They were very authentic. The lunch deals were great. The server was really personable and kind. The inside was well-decorated. I will definitely come again!

Food is decent, 4/10. Customer service is not great. I honestly wouldn't recommend this place. Place is clean at least.

They have a pretty good selection of beers and of liquors (I presume wine, too, but I didn't check). While there are "bourbon bars" with a wider bourbon selection or "gin bars" with a wider gin selection, they have an above average selection of each, and they don't charge absurd up charges for choosing the liquor you like. The bartender is very polite. There's ample seating at the bar, and you can also take your drink to some loungy-er chairs in the nearby part of the hotel lobby. All in all, a solid bar.

You walk in and the bar is to your right. It was about 6 and no one was at the bar. There was a group of guys discussing something over drinks in the lounge area but that was about it. The bartender came right up to my boyfriend and I. I told the bartender my boyfriend had never been to Texas so we tried out essentially every tap by sampling which was nice that he offered that up. After we tried each beer we decided on some options. The bartender went back to texting in the corner and we sat at the bar listening to the music playing in the open concept lobby/bar area We eventually took over the seating area that group was in because the couches looked more cozy than the bar. The happy hour advertised is not a thing anymore, they now have reverse happy hour from 9-10. The beers weren't too expensive as our tab was only $13 which I doable. The bartender disappeared from the bar for a fair amount of time which made me anxious because I used to be a bartender, I guess he trusted we wouldn't leave without paying. He didnt come check on us to see if we needed another beer but that was ok I guess. I went back up to the bar to cash out and that was that. This bar is good for a quick drink but I wouldn't probably go for a top notch bar experience.

Curry is a bit heavy but pairs well with their Naan. Honestly, the best thing here is their naan. Update: the chicken biriyani is pretty good! Drinks (2/5): Shocked by the quality based on their regular price. The Velvet Karma was okay (tasted like watery Bailey's with cinnamon). The Karma Sutra was mostly cough syrup, almost no liquor tasted in either. Both $15 each. Service (2/5): The waitresses are all hardworking but they seem super short-staffed. The whole place was packed but they're too busy to be out in the front. It took forever for food and drinks to come out also, despite it hasn't been packed yet. Took 15 min for the cocktail to be out and was watery... Ambiance (3/5): The live music at 7pm didn't start until 7:20. We came earlier and waited for it to start. Super disappointed and wanted to like this place. We can't see ourselves back unless these changes. It just seems stingey as a business to lack liquor in cocktails this price. The staff and manager were all nice, it's just not well run unfortunately.

Parliament posted their rainy-day happy hour on Instagram the same day I visited, so I was…read moresurprised when the tall bartender with glasses told me the special only applied if it was actively raining at that exact moment. He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.

I don't remember our waiter's name, but BABY... he was GOOD! He gave us the full rundown of the menu, and what really impressed me was that there wasn't anything on the menu he hadn't personally tried. That made his recommendations feel genuine because he could actually speak to the flavors, portions, and what he thought we would enjoy. And based on his recommendations, I'd say his palate was ON POINT! I ordered the truffle fries and blackened fish tacos, and both were delicious! I also had a cocktail with gin and lavender bitters (or something lavender-ish ), and it was really good and refreshing. My husband ordered the fish of the day, which was some type of red fish served with a caper sauce and mashed potatoes. He said it was REALLY good--and judging by the empty plate, I believe him! There were several other things on the menu that caught my eye, so I already know I need to come back and try them. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere with friends. Cork & Pig Tavern, you've got a new customer! I'll definitely be back!
