    My Enchiladas

    New place is really awesome! I had an amazing experience at this taco joint! The employees were friendly and provided excellent service. The old-school, unique ambiance added to the charm of the place, and the food was simply delicious. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great taco experience. Five stars!

    2 taco combo! With some quest and chips!

    Out getting some shopping done tonight and decided to stop here for a quick bite to eat. I absolutely love tacos and this place had plenty of choices, not to mention it was all delicious. The staff were very helpful and very friendly with any requests we had! I wish I could have ate more because there are so many items to choose from! I guess I'll just have to keep coming here until I can sample everything! Stop in at this place if you get the chance it is well worth the time. Keep up the good work!!

    Taco joint Wylie is pretty dope. Friendly, fast, and customer service was excellent. We got the Spicy Pork combo, Dr.J's queso, margarita, and brisket taco combo. Sadly, the spicy pork wasn't spicy at all and kinda bland, but it pairs well with salsa rojo which is an unlimited condiment. The spicy ranch is a must. The queso was super good. Nice flavor and hot. Margarita frozen is the way to go. They only had one flavor tho. Overall, pretty solid experience.

    We had high hopes since this place was highly recommended by our friends. Great impression as soon as we stepped into Taco Joint, the place looked bright and clean. Cashier was ready to take our order. I got the brisket taco salad and hubby got the brisket tacos and an order of chips & queso. Taco salad - I was quite disappointed when my taco salad came out in an aluminum container, WHERE IS MY TACO SHELL?? The brisket is a lot sweeter than others I have tried in the past. After digging through the bowl, I was sad to find only veggies and brisket, no rice and no beans. It's a more heathy choice for someone who is looking for a real salad. Taco combo - came with 2 tacos, a small container of rice & beans and a drink. Hubby thought the portion was less satisfying than Rosa's platter. Queso and chips - please just watch my clip and tell me if this looks more like a cheese soup? I could literally drink this cuz it was so watered down! Our table was covered with streaks of cheese and we had to keep wiping it off! Overall, it was a very mediocre experience.

    Fun atmosphere to hang out

    This place just recently opened so do expect some growing issues. In fact I saw two issues but the manager on duty took care of it immediately. Mistakes happen but I'm glad to see them take responsibility. This is a walk up type taco joint. You have a choice of tacos or burritos. Both can be made into a combo meal which includes rice beans and a drink. Tacos can be soft, crispy beef or chicken. Queso is also on the menu I started with simple ground beef tacos, one hard one soft. Nothing outstanding but not bad either. My wife had the spicy fried chicken tacos. WARNING- when they say spicy, it's spicy! Even their jalapeño ranch sauce was spicy. But with all the spice there wasn't much flavor to the chicken. The queso reminded me of the homemade queso with rotel tomatoes. It's a fun place to go, and the staff seem eager to please. I wish their food had a bit more flavor, even a bit more salt. But their bar is well stocked with most of the beer you'll probably want with tacos.

    First time here and I'm impressed. The food came out fresh and tasted AMAZING!!!! The team was very informative about the menu and helped us pick what we wanted.

    Customer service is friendly and fast! Large portions when you order, you'll be full when you're done! Come in for breakfast, they have complimentary coffee.....must come to eat good burritos and tacos, rice/beans are super flavorful!

    Well, it's my first time here, and so far so good. We're here for the Easter Buffet and everything…read morelooks really good. I'm having Prime Rib with Mashed Potatoes and it's freaking Awesome! So far this place is freaking great.

    The food was ok, but nothing really stood out as memorable or spectacular…read more We ordered the 3 course appetizers and those were decent. $17 For 3 picks. The spinach & artichoke dip is runny, however, probably the tables favorite! Why sooo runny? The babaghanouch was a strong second! (I felt it was missing much of the fire roasted eggplant). The baked feta dip is a NO reorder for us. It was way too liquified and bland. Lots of pita bread to go with the mix which is a good thing! Unfortunately, some of the service took away from the experience. Our waiter made several notable mistakes (wrong food) (wrong drinks) and was slow with refills, which became frustrating over the course of the meal. We got tired of requesting refills. Hmph! I think our server was stoned/high/or hung over or a combo of all. Come on, plus cleanliness is a big thing in food service. He lacked most of these attributes. My poor iron skillet chicken and potatoes were covered in this greasy sauce. I couldn't taste any of my food because it was literally smothered in sauce. Boo! My friend's short rib Benedict was again smothered in some sort of hollandaise sauce. It's just too much on any of the sauce! A little goes a long way. Chef, don't be so heavy handed. The bacon wrapped dates are decent and again smothered in aoli. You get 4 dates with each order. The crispy brussel sprouts are really yummy! The wild mushrooms and asparagus risotto is ok, as is the Ferah ten spice chicken. (Again, everything is smothered in some sort of topping). A real turn off for all of us in the group since we shared. The best feedback I can give your restaurant as a returning customer is to STOP drowning all your wonderful dishes in aoli or sauce. You don't need all that! Your food can stand alone without the smothering of sauce. The drinks are fantastic specially, the espresso martini and ginger snap! Overall, it was an okay visit, but better service would have made a big difference. For the price and service, I think our team needs a complete do over. January 2026

    We knew we were in for a great night at Creekside Fine Grill when we sat down and saw the room…read morefilled with a mix of families, couples, and regulars who clearly knew this place well. There is a certain energy in a restaurant when people trust it, and Creekside has that. We started with the crab and shrimp dip, which came out hot, creamy, and loaded with flavor. It is one of those appetizers that everyone at the table keeps going back to without even thinking about it. For dinner, we ordered the Red Snapper Alexander and the chicken cutlet parmesan, and this is where the night really took off. The red snapper was cooked perfectly, topped with sautéed shrimp in a white wine sauce that added flavor without overwhelming the fish. The balance was impressive, and the presentation matched what you would expect from a much higher priced restaurant. Then there was the chicken parmesan. As Italians, we do not say this lightly, but this dish stood out in a big way. Creekside blends Alfredo and marinara into a creamy, well-balanced sauce that takes a classic and elevates it. The chicken was lightly breaded, the mozzarella was fresh, and every bite delivered. We awarded this dish our Best of the Best for Chicken Parmesan, and that is something we reserve for dishes that truly separate themselves from the rest. Service was excellent throughout the night. Our server Erin was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped guide us to some great choices. One small note, the fish and chips did not quite match the level we had experienced on a previous visit. It was still good, just not at the same level we had come to expect. That said, it did not take away from what was otherwise a fantastic meal. If you are looking for a place that delivers an upscale feel without the upscale price tag, this is it. Great for date nights, family dinners, or just a night out where you want consistently good food.
