Stumbled on Tipico's while in the area and was satisfied with the choice. When we got there, there was a nice crowd with a lot of people waiting for a table, but the wait was less than 10 minutes. Very casual restaurant with a laid back vibe. I tried the beef enchilada dish, it was classic Tex Mex, well seasoned and really hit the spot. The side of guac was good too. It feels like a true local place. Service was decent and fast. Would come back. read more

I have driven by the restaurant for 6+ years, and we finally visited it a few days ago! The chilaquiles and the pollo mexicana are TWO MUST ORDERS. The salsa was the perfect amount of spicy and the food came out quickly though we had a big group! We will definitely be back! Love that we live so close by! read more

Great service along with the best mexican food in Dallas. I have enjoyed Tipico's for the last decade and many more to come. Thank you very much! read more

Service was great. But the food portions was the main problem here. Been coming here over 20 years and this the first time I had a bad experience. I understand beef prices are at the highest I've ever seen but to be served this lunch/kids size meal at $15 is ridiculous. Mind you we've ate there 2 weeks ago with no issues. This is Tipico's (Northwest Highway Dallas). We ordered Lengua plate double refried beans and no rice. No way this is double beans and lengua enough for 3 tacos.. $15... read more

Tipico's - Lengua plate with double beans $15... SMH.. really Tipicos.. you could do better.. - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

OMG!! We have not had a good Tex-Mex cuisine since living in San Antonio, THE FOOD WAS FIVE STAR DELICIOUS . Huevo Rancheros with eggs cooked perfectly with the whites solid and the yolk runny AND not plated on top of corn tortillas, the Rancheros sauce is to die for, made with thick sliced jalapeños! Best of all no black beans just fantastic refried pinto beans and fresh made tortillas made by hand and not with a tortilla machine. We live 36 miles away and the drive was worth it. We have tried other places in Ft Worth. And how I knew it was Tex-Mex restaurant? NO POZOLE, they have the three Amigos: Caldo de Res, Pollo and Menudo. We will be back! read more

Every person in Dallas says this place is bomb- so this was a place that I've been wanting to try. So I'm finally here. Parking spot is small but there is parking- this place is packed but there was tables available- the whole time I was there people kept on coming but people were leaving also. - sit where you want- the waitress was good. Friendly- The Menudo- was missing some flavor I did like the meat it was chucky Nopalitos con Guisado de Puerco en Salsa Verde - and it comes with fresh homemade tortillas corn & flour- - the food was good. The rice was ok- the beans were actually pretty good. The guisado was good- One thing i was disappointed was that the salsa verde wasn't spicy- the salsas we got with the chips were not spicy either- for a Mexican joint , food needs a kick- not to burn off your tongue but a nice kick - that's why I was disappointed - maybe the jalapeños were being friendly that day- I will go back to try again read more

I've been here many times before and it's safe to say this place never disappoints. This is a traditional Mexican food spot that's family owned over by Love Field Airport. It's been around for decades and is one of two locations in DFW! We ordered the eggs with chorizo plate that comes with potatoes and beans & the tacos al carbon which comes with rice and beans. Your choice of tortilla as well (flour or corn)! The food is very tasty. Good service. I also had the horchata to drink (which is basically a sweet drink made with rice & cinnamon) & it was very yummy. Once you're done ordering you pay at the front! The ambiance is lively & it is usually very busy-- but I am not surprised. The food is extremely delicious and traditional. Please go dine here if you haven't already. They take to-go orders as well! read more

I've been going to Típicos for many years, and it honestly feels like one of those places you can always count on. The food is truly authentic and full of flavor. I've tried so many different things on the menu and have never been disappointed. You really can't go wrong with whatever you order. One of my favorite things is that they serve breakfast all day (because sometimes you just need chilaquiles at 2 PM). The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick, which makes the whole experience even better. If you're craving real, delicious Mexican food, this is the place. read more

We found this place based on yelp reviews. It was very busy at 3pm so we thought we made a good choice. We got seated pretty quickly, but were not acknowledged by servers for a while. The person seating us finally came over to take our order. He then handed us over to a waitress. Our drinks and chips came out fairly quickly, but it took a while for our food. Other tables around us got their food first. The food was good but not outstanding. Seems like they have quite a following, but not worthy of the crowd. read more

Right by Bachman Lake and the highest rated tacos in the area on Yelp. You'll find ample parking and plenty of seat, yourself booths, and tables. Tables are numbered and you pay at the front. Be sure and get there early as it gets very crowded. The server was very friendly and efficient. Chips, salsa, and my huevos rancheros were delicious. My son and grandson enjoyed the tacos. The homemade flour tortillas were a hit with all of us! read more

Tipico's - When was rancheros and beef fajita tacos? - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I really enjoyed the food and ambiance at this location, it's a piece of south Texas in north Texas. Prices were unbelievable, low prices and great portions. I was taken back by how this place could stay in business and be so generous. After we paid we chatted with Abraham that was the nicest guy! He gave us the history of the restaurant and the reasons why they were able to provide such quality service and food, thank you for sharing your family history and the story about Tipico's, really makes me happy to spend my money here knowing it's authentic and comes from a good place in your family's heart. read more

Ate here twice. Both times food was excellent. Service the second time was awful. I sat for 15 minutes after i was done eating and was never approached again by my mostly nonexistent waitress. Had to get my own to go box. She was to busy hiding in the back corner taking on her phone. Maria needs some customer service training. read more

Mom used to make an Italian version of "menudo" (tripe) with a spicy tomato-based sauce and potatoes. Grew up loving that! When I first moved to Texas from the Midwest I was excited to see "menudo" on the menu at an (unnamed!) Mexican restaurant and ordered it without having done my research. It was HORRIBLE!!! Really greasy and obvious the tripe was not cleaned very well; it was years before I would ever try again. My second try was at Casa Navarro and, while theirs was MUCH better, the fact they serve it only Saturday and Sunday as well as it being "just okay" (still a bit too greasy for me) prevented me from going back. Today after doing a lot more research, I ended up at Tipico's at 10:45am on a Thursday--they serve menudo every day! I was surprised to see how crowded it was, getting one of the final few parking spots in the main lot. After sitting down at one of the last available tables I placed my order... a LARGE bowl of menudo--being only 50 cents more than the small bowl it seemed like a no-brainer. I (gringo) also appreciated that the waitress didn't ask me "if I was SURE I wanted to order it" like had happened both times before; it made me feel like less of an outsider and more welcome to be there! ;) What I was served along with the chips, salsa, and corn tortillas was AMAZING! The broth was so flavorful and the tripe was mild tasting and delicious. I could have eaten two large bowls! I do agree with some that a bit more hominy would have been nice but did not experience the saltiness described by some. If you ever feel adventurous and want to try menudo, I'd say this is the place to go. It was by far the best soup made with tripe I've ever eaten (sorry mom)! As long as you're able to mentally deal with what it is, the appearance, and texture I am confident you'll have a positive experience. Don't feel you need to have a hangover to enjoy it! I will DEFINITELY return... soon! read more

Tipico's is one of the few Mexican restaurants in Dallas I can confidently say serves a TRUE, AUTHENTIC Mexican food experience. My family and I have been coming here for YEARS. This ain't no fancy "gourmet" Mexican food or chimichanga/queso type Tex-Mex. It's, for lack of better terms, a hole-in-the-wall that serves BOMBBBB Mexican food. My mom is from South TX and she says the food tastes like authentic Texas Mexican food and is the closest to the food she gets back home. The quality is consistently great and they serve chips and salsa. The salsa is spicy af and not watered down at all. I love the red salsa. The chips always taste fresh. The service is always fast and the employees here work hard. We've never received poor service here. The dishes are amazing-I highly recommend their breakfast tacos (bacon & egg, nopales), their beef soup (sopa de res), and their res guisado taco plate. You won't be disappointed here. read more

Great Mexican food, fast and friendly service. Thankful it's not the typical Tex-Mex found in Dallas.

"Tipico" means "typical" in English - this place does live up to that in the sense that they serve most of your standard Mexican fare. The restaurant serves breakfast items such as chilaquiles and huevos con chorizo, while also serving burritos, tacos, enchiladas, nachos, etc. They also serve other traditional Mexican dishes such as guisado, menudo, and soups. What isn't "typical" about this place, though, are the level of flavor and quality of the service found here. The food is simply the best Mexican food you can find in the DFW metroplex - simple dishes made to perfection at a great price. Take a look around at the clientele and figure it out. Look at the lines to get in, also. The service here is excellent, as well. The ladies hustle non-stop while still showing friendliness and professionalism. Tipico's offers typical dishes at a level that is anything but that. If you are in the area and are super hungry, they have you covered. read more

I was craving an old school Mexican breakfast and stopped here. They do not have a long menu, but have an array of items from tacos, flautas, enchiladas, and more. It was very busy, but the waitress was quick to get everyone in and seated. The restaurant had some great music playing and TVs, but not too loud so you could converse with family and friends. They have the typical drinks you can think of and alcohol, but what stood out is that they actual Aguas Naturales and not from the machine. This something very rare in the Tex mex restaurants nowadays! I had the Lemonada and it was so refreshing. They gave chips and salsa, but with a hint of Tipico's way of doing things! A fresh red salsa that is the right amount of spice and flavor AND a cold salsa that is mild for my friends that just want to have a "chips and salsa" type of day meal. They are both appetizing and a perfect table starter before you get your meal. I ordered the chilaquiles and it was delish! Please keep in mind it is not the typical spicy version you might be use to it is Egg with tortillas and chorizo, beans, and potatoes. It also comes with either flour tortillas or corn. What I liked it was not too spicy and I could enjoy! I also tried the Menudo and was just like "how grandma use to make it at home" with a punch of flavor. If I could I would of drank the broth lol. Seriously, try the Menudo it is what they are known for. The staff is quick on their feet and constantly getting their customers in and out of the door. That is what I call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I will be back to try the rest of menu items! Thanks Tipicos for being one of a kind! read more

The salsa they bring to the table is warm and spicy as it should be iykyk so it was a good start. I was iffy about trying this place because the enchiladas looked tex Mex and I hate tex Mex food.

By far this is our favorite # 1 Mexican Restaraunt. We love the authentic Mexican dishes such as Napalitos (cactus), Caldos, Polo a la Mexicana , Bistec Ranchero and Camaron Mexicana. For those who prefer Tex Mex the Beef Enchiladas and Spinach Enchiladas are really good. The chips comes with two types of sauce one is served cold and the other one is warm and spicy! You get the best of both worlds. You can't go wrong here. We love this place. read more

Tipico's - Polo a la Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A very unassuming place to get a home cooked meal by your granny who consistently over salts everything but the chips. Reliable taste with friendly service. I'm kinda grossed out by the health scores. Like why would your utensils be so close to the ground? You don't keep track of when food goes bad? Why aren't you keeping food hot enough to prevent bacterial growth? Since the scores have been so low year after year, I assume they don't care to even try to improve. Kinda like how their women's restroom is a mess. The miniature stall barely fits one person, doesn't even close, and the huge tissue dispenser is lopsided because it's hanging off one bolt and swinging. This place has a loyal following but I'm not seeing that loyalty returned. How about improving food safety and the comfort of your guests? The menus are greasy and disgusting. How much does it really cost to print new ones out and wipe the covers? read more

Bottom Line: Wow. That's all I really need to say. As a recommendation from a friend, I checked out Tipicos, and it is so far, the most authentic and amazing Mexican restaurant I've been to in Dallas. From the homemade tortillas to the res (beef) and service, there's nothing else I want them to do to make my experience better. Lots of delicious warm chips and tasty salsa. And If you order a water, its a HUGE cup. Food: Our friend recommended we get the Burritos de Res (beef), and it did not disappoint. Must try!!! They have other additions that go with it, such as guacamole or beans, but as long as it's the beef burritos, they are so mouthwatering, you won't be upset. They come as three small burritos/big tacos with rice and beans. We didn't love the fajitas as the both the chicken and steak ones were pretty dry, but if it floats your boat, go for it. On cerrtain days, they have great deals like cheaper fajitas so it's worth it! Lastly, totally recommend the Horchata. It's a HUGE cup that honestly you could split with someone, but they do a great one. I get it everytime I go. Also the service is incredible. The waitress that we had, although didn't speak much english, was patient with our Spanglish and got our order down perfectly! When we paid at the window near the front door, who I assume is the owner or manager was super nice and I can tell he has a passion for this restaurant. Overall, you won't be disappointed if you come to Tipicos and order the burritos de res. Just know that during LUNCH hours, they are going to be PACKED (good sign) so avoid the busy hours. But oh man, we go here every other week for dinner it's so good. read more

Tipico's - Fajita Nachos. - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Beer cap in hot sauce! I am disgusted by this and can imagine how it happened. I was well down into dipping in the hot sauce and found a beer cap! My only theory is that they are taking hot sauce off the table and recycling that. That is not only awful for following who knows how many double dippers but also food safety and temperature issues. Who knows how long this had been going on that day with this same salsa! Digusting! Their only "fix" for this was to get me a fresh salsa. I was not drinking, had no beer caps, so there is no way I could have done it. I should not have had to pay for my meal or something besides a "fresh salsa!" What I do know is that they will not ever, ever get any of my money in the future. I'll agree with all the positive reviews, the food I got was good, but NO! NO! NO! STAY AWAY!!! At least this one day they were recycling salsa off the table, and who knows if your next visit is one of those days! read more
