    Tommy Bowl
    Kiawatha F.

    Dear Tommy Tamale. Good God !!!! That Tommy Bowl is out of this world . It's the perfect combination of everything I love. Those is now my new favorite dish. This is my first time having it, and it sure won't be my last. OMG!!! If you haven't eaten here, you're missing out. Thank you for phenomenal food.

    Tamale Pie with Fritos. Amazing!

    Tamale bowl with Fritos and chili! It was delish but make note you can share this. Includes two tamales of your choice. Everyone so nice and very helpful.

    This is my second visit to Tommy tamale. Again pleased with my visit location was slow with about 3 people in it. Walked up to the counter and ordered my frito tamale bowl. I don't cone here often because the food would make me gain 300lbs so I try to go on special occasions. I thought with all the inflation that the bowls would cost like 15 bucks due to going to the hamburger joints and paying an arm and a leg for a combo now, but it was only 10.99 for a bowl which was great. Place is good in a snap. location is always clean and not far from my apartment. Keep up to good service and food.

    Online ordering was convenient and they accept Google Pay. Order was ready when I reached the restaurant and the pick up was a breeze. As I got to my car, an employee ran over with part of my order that was in a second bag. After reaching home I found that the order missed the salsa that I paid extra for. Well, a few misses from an order fulfillment standpoint. I will give this aspect only 2 stars. Lesson learnt to check the order before leaving. Now the food. The Tommy bowl with the habanero pork tamale and beef tamale was out of the world. This will be my go to place for a tasty bowl. The frozen tamales come with heating instructions and I'm yet to try them. The menu has other interesting options and I can't wait to try them. The restaurant has been on my bookmark for a while now and I'm glad I finally tried it. Pricing : Moderate Will I return : Oh yeah! But I will check my to-go order ;) Rating : 5 stars for the food. Took away 1 star for the missed salsa that was paid.

    Food is great. Highly recommend the tamale bowl. Habanero pork tamale is my favorite. They sell frozen tamales by the 6 pack. Great place... highly recommend if you're looking for tamales ( good meat to masa ratio ).

    If you are craving for Tamales, this is a perfect place. They have variety of vegetarian and non- vegetarian tamales, great sides and salsas. This place is BYOB in case you are looking for one. They could have longer hours to attract more people for dinner . We have been to Grapevine location many times and recently tried one in Coppell.

It was boujee fajitas for sure lol. A bit spicy but I enjoyed that. 8/10 Tacos: a little dry but again had great flavor. 8/10 Queso; tasty but didn't come out super hot, it was kind of clumpy. 6/10 Horchata: omg so good must get 10/10

I had…read moreheard several people talking about Mi Dia From Scratch, so I decided it was finally time to see what all the buzz was about. I arrived during the lunch rush, and both the parking lot and the restaurant were packed. Even though they were extremely busy, we were immediately greeted by a courteous and polite young man who quickly escorted us to a booth. We were seated in Ms. Maria's section, and she was a wonderful server. She greeted us with a warm smile, brought us menus along with the lunch menu, chips and salsa, and promptly served our water. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and was friendly, attentive, and very courteous throughout our meal. The chips and salsa were very good. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa without cilantro for those who prefer it. We ordered the Create Your Own Combo Plate, which included a chicken flauta, a crispy taco, rice, and refried beans topped with cheese for $15.50. The taco was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, while the chicken flauta was covered in a flavorful red chile sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The rice and refried beans were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal well. We also ordered the chimichanga, smothered in cheese sauce and served with rice and refried beans, for $16.00. It was well seasoned, delicious, and satisfying. The flavors weren't overpowering--they were balanced and enjoyable, making it a dish I would gladly order again. This was my first visit to Mi Dia From Scratch, and I came away very impressed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant also offers a nice outdoor seating area. Between the excellent service and flavorful food, I will definitely be back. I hope you'll give it a try too!

    It's most certainly a dive, and that in itself is not a bad thing. The lunch fajitas are…read moresuspiciously cheap, if I'm not mistaken $10. Now, that does leave a lot of unanswered questions, but I'll just assume everything is above board. Fajita vegetables and proteins come out smoldering on a plancha, can't really complain about that. As others have mentioned the chips are no longer made in house, and as a result have the kind of consistency you might expect from bagged tortilla chips. The inside is rather chaotic and could use renovations, however given the rock bottom prices, I suspect you can't have it both ways. Personally I would rather pay more and dine at Lupe's or Animia's, but that's not to say that Ole's is lacking. It serves a unique purpose as the spot you take your rather frugal acquittances or friends to, or as a destination when you already know you're picking up the tab for a large group and are not feeling very spendy. That being said I always default to the fajitas here, the other menu items are not at all bad, just not as strong and lack the same value proposition.

    Has really gone downhill over the past couple of years. Ate there last weekend and the food and…read moredrinks are just not very good. Nothing tasted very fresh and the margarita was watered down.
