Went last night and was in shock, after 40 years they had a new menu. It appears to be like the one in lake Dallas. It's missing a lot of our Angelina's favorites. The portions were even smaller on my enchiladas. You want to charge more for the same thing but call it something else but the portions are smaller? Like that's a big no to me. I have been a faithful patron for 39 years. Please go back to the old menu. The only things good was the service, patio and the taste of the food. read more

The food is always great. Got my regular chili relleno and a side of guacamole. Was early evening so from my seat I could watch the sun set. The staff was attentive as usual. The only negative was that my family forgot it was Father's Day until I returned home. Maybe next year. read more

I was shocked. I'm not gonna lie with the ratings that this restaurant has but I was impressed with the brisket enchiladas , they were so delicious. My family was also impressed with the food. The service was fast. The food came out literally after we ordered maybe five minutes tops. The ambience was really cool. The people were welcoming and the restaurant has a view, but it's not really a big view, but it's a decent view Overall I'll be back to definitely maybe to try something different and I recommend if you want to try the brisket enchiladas do that you won't regret it! The flautas dinner was really good as well. read more

I've always wondered about this place since I frequent The Rackhouse that's located right next door. I finally gave it a try--and honestly, it was underwhelming. I had high hopes, especially based on how great it looks from the outside, but it just didn't do it for us. We sat on the patio which felt unfinished and thrown together. I ordered the Carne Asada medium-well, but it came out overcooked and dry. The rice and beans were solid, but the queso was just meh, and the "frozen" margaritas were more watered-down slush than anything else. The 3 stars are: 1st - Our waitress Bianca who was really nice and attentive 2nd - The view which would be more amazing if the patio was in better shape and decor. 3rd - is for effort, they just need to literally spice it up and fix the outside patio area. Not the worst experience, but definitely not one I'd go out of my way to repeat. read more

I've been going here for years and realized I never wrote a review. The best is the location and ambiance. Love the view of the lake, especially when that seating is open. Now--the refried beans and my favorite that I've found in Texas. I'm sad because I'm still trying for the taste they have in Southern California, but these are the closest. Yum! Frozen swirl margaritas are lovely. The steak fajitas, and Mama's tacos and chile relleno are my picks. read more

This place is good if you want some decent Tex-mex. Prices are good. Bartenders have a generous hand. Good place for a quiet dinner if you don't want to cook. read more

The inside is very nostalgic as it hasnt changed in probably 15+ years but the service was very mid. We did wait a long time for our check to be brought to us. The food was alright but their "brisket" is pot roast so maybe stay away from that. I got the steak quesadilla and it was fairly good for the price. The outside seating does have a really nice view though. read more

The food is good. I have been going there for over 16 years. The new menu has about half of the old one and prices went up about 18.5%. My number of times of going there will be decreased in the future. David H The Colony not california read more

This first time I came here, was with my ex. It was an ok experience (3 stars), but this time I came with my wife. It was much better. Honestly, eating food and trying out restaurants with Hannah has been so much fun. The view is pretty good, which she wanted to check out since she never has been here. So, why not. This was August 29th, 2024, two days before telling her folks she is pregnant. Why not enjoy one last meal, in case... You know ;) Of course we had to try the Queso, and the chips were thick. She loved it. I've been a fan of chuy's queso, but this was good enough. Margs were delicious, and i ended up getting the burrito dinner, which I should have explored more. I loved it. Filling, amazing, and who doesn't like a big a** burrito with queso. She got the beef enchiladas, and I wish I got those instead. I will be more adventurous next time. Service was great, ambiance was great. I would check it out. They probably rank in my top 5 places in north dallas for a view with food. read more

Our server, Paul, was quick to greet us and take our drink orders. Chips and salsa were also delivered promptly and were delicious. Spicy margaritas with Tajin rim were tasty. Camarones a la Lorena (bacon-wrapped jumbo shrimp) are a must-have! The tortilla soup was delicious, as well as the Sunset Enchiladas, Brisket Tacos, Pollo en Crema, and to top it off, Flan. The sunset view of the lake also provides a stunning backdrop to enjoy during dinner. We will be back! read more

The waitress was definitely not happy to have us there. She approached the table and asked us what we wanted to drink. We were scouring the menu looking for drinks and she just stood there and watched us. We had to ask her if there was a drink mine. She proceeded to take one out of her pocket and threw on the table. Food was mediocre at its best. We definitely never come back again due to the rude server. read more

The food was good and very tasty, and there was a nice atmosphere. The wait staff did a great job. I will be coming back again for good Tex-Mex. read more

Absolutely amazing!! We experienced a disaster and horrendous customer service next door and Angelina's completely turned our entire day around. It showed me and the wedding party that everything happens for a reason! My sister had made reservations for the upstairs private room at the rackhouse next door: the manager never made the reservations. Their attitude and behavior towards us was absolutely inappropriate. Well, Angelina's saves the day!!! They quickly seated out large party, the waitress was quick to fill out cups, bring out chips and salsa. Our serve was a lady at the beginning, didn't catch her name but she was great and quickly has us seated. Luis then takes over, luis was phenomenal as well! The food was great, the service was FAST, and we had a great great time! Saved my sisters wedding dinner. We thank you guys so so so much!!! read more

This is my husbands go to Mexican food restaurant since he was a kid. His favorite thing to this day is the queso and the tortillas. The tortillas are made on sight, which is a plus cause they're sooo good and they queso is delicious for dipping chips and/or adding to your main dish. I've tried their ground beef chimichanga and combo fajitas, and I've been impressed with both meals. The fajita chicken is juicy and full of flavor and the beef has a great taste and not over cooked. The salsa is mild and has a good flavor. Now for the refried beans, those have a some really good flavor prob my favorite refried beans I've had at a Mexican food restaurant. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are clean and stocked. Never a super long wait as we usually eat lunch here, not sure what dinner time is like. But definitely a place we will continue going to when we're in the area. read more

Cannot recommend Angelina's enough! And I really think you should ignore the negative reviews because they are baseless and kept me from experiencing this gem sooner. The food was delicious (highly recommend the top shelf Margarita and Angelina's Fajita nachos) we had simply outstanding service with Julian who was patient with our unruly terriers pictured below and anticipated our needs before we even realized them (bringing separate water dishes for both of our dogs, split our enchilada dinner completely without being asked or without a split charge, etc ). The salsa, pico and guac were so authentic and flavorful and we couldn't believe how affordable the prices were when we got the bill. We will be back and often, perfect detour when doing an evening stroll on the colony shoreline trail! read more

I ordered ribeye and a beef fajita taco and both were super tasty! The meat was seasoned well and super tender and juicy. I was pleasantly surprised! I got a peach margarita which was pretty standard but the upside was that it came in a pretty big size. A big plus was our sweet and helpful waitress. We were celebrating my birthday and in laws birthdays late and it was nice how we were able to get a small birthday dessert for free (sopaipilla) The only downside of the restaurant which was hard to ignore was the poor smell where we sat. It wasn't unbearable but it lingered there the whole time we were eating. It is like the old building smell and something else I can't quite describe. I couldn't stop smelling it and it took away from the pleasurable experience of eating my food. Overall it's still a good restaurant- the food is great! But I just can't get over the smell when you sit inside. read more

Last couple of times here have been very disappointing. I've been a dedicated patron for over 30 years. I don't know what's going on but I hope they fix it. Lat visit they got both orders wrong not once but twice. I certainly hope that they regroup and make this better read more

They are one of the few Mexican restaurants to have the red enchilada sauce and it is delicious. Their free shot of Café de Luna after your meal is a real treat (for over 21 only) read more

It has been a while since I ate at Angelina's so I decided to stop in around 2:00 on a weekday(Tuesday). I ordered my usual beef enchilada plate and I was extremely disappointed. One word to describe the food.....HORRIBLE. The ground beef did not smell fresh and all of the food was bland(no seasoning at all). The chips were stale and the salsa was watery. I ordered the food to go and if I did not live 45 minutes away I would have taken it back and requested a refund. Needless to say, I wasted my money and will not be going back. read more

Angelina's has great views, a wonderful patio and tasty Tex-Mex! The bar area is great and they have excellent, friendly bartenders. I have been going to Angelina's for about 8 years now and I think it has improved throughout the years. I am not a huge fan of the queso but it's okay. The guacamole has always been good and fresh. The chips are good and lately the salsa has been spicy and I like it!! The beef quesadillas are the best I've had anywhere!!! The tortilla soup is muy bueno as well!! Go on a beautiful day and enjoy their patio while enjoying the views of the lake and yummy food and drink!! read more

It is a pretty standard TexMex restaurant, but the food is good, drinks were great and the service was outstanding. No complaints. Enjoyed dinner & appreciated the professionalism of our waiter. Thanks Angelina's, will be back. read more

Not sure why it took us so long to stop in, but we have been returning customers since. Food is delicious. Service always prompt and friendly. We have always been sat right away no matter what time or day. Food is delicious. The music they play is amazing. Patio is enclosed and cool. Def check them out. For my kids, the split the beef fajitas for one. As the portion is enough for one adult. It works out fine for two kids and I did an additional side of rice and beans. Pollo en crema is always my go to. Great portion and flavor is amazing. Pork chop and eggs from brunch menu had great flavor as well. We will be back, check them out! read more

Angelina would be rolling in her grave... From never receiving a drink menu to waiting 30 minutes--and two trays of chips--just to get service started, the experience was frustrating. Two servers stood watching the news, completely ignoring customers. While the drinks were strong, requesting more sweetener or mix led to the server blaming and gaslighting us, insisting, "That's how it's supposed to taste," despite us never receiving a menu in the first place. The food and ambiance were great, but if the service doesn't improve, this place won't last. read more

This is my absolute go to when I want Mexican food. First of all they always bring you the best chips and salsa and it's award winning make sure you ask for some to go! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu but my go to is the filet de la casa and I've probably ordered it over 50 times and it has yet to disappoint me! The ambience is great and there's a full bar where you can catch all your favorite sporting events too. The dining room is spacious and plenty of seating inside, on the patio and they have a screened in porch when you want to be inside and outside lol read more

Over the past decade, we've driven by this place literally hundreds of times. Today, we decided to stop in and have lunch. Happy to say . . . been there, done that, NEVER have to go back again. Perhaps, at one time, it was great. We had beef fajitas. The most edible thing was the flout tortillas. Massively disappointed in every other item. It had the feel of an old, run-down restaurant. read more

I drove by this place several times and finally, my coworkers and I decided to have dinner here. In my experience, everything was good! I wasn't too hungry, so I ordered the tortilla soup. It was delicious. My coworkers ordered their dishes and they finished it. We cleared our plates. Their complimentary chips and salsa were authentic and delicious, partially what filled me up too. I also ordered fajitas to go for my bf and he devoured it. Ambiance was good. Great place for small intimate as well as large groups. Will be back next time to try other dishes, for the meantime, let's eat! read more

The food is good and the prices are reasonable. As for the service, it's good. The facilities need a little of love.

My first disappointment! Got seated with my mom in town for a day. I asked for a drink menu and the sever just named a lot of drinks. I said so you don't have a drink menu? Asked for water. She came back with a drink menu and called me momma every time she came to the table which was twice because she knew she made a mistake. She spent at least 10 minutes with one table just talking. Didn't deliver our food someone else did. My mom commented hers was cold and I said it would be a long wait to reheat a quesadilla. I went just yesterday and had the most amazing service, wish I had the older blonde girls name, and she got a GREAT TIP! read more

Went back for a second time ! However we got the Queso this time but it was not good at all. We sent it back hoping the second one would taste better. It had a burnt flavor so we thought maybe it was near the bottom of the pan. But when she brought back the second one it tasted the same. The food was delicious as always as well as the drinks !! read more

This is the place to go for authentic Mexican food. I've tried their steak and fish before and it is consistently good. Their food is simple and exactly what you would ask for and expect. Service was great, the waiter is fast and just knows what you want. This particular time I got pecados loco and the fish tasted very fresh as the menu description promised. The Beas and veggie mixed very well with the fish. Mexican rice also never disappoints when mixed in. I'd recommend this place anytime to anyone as it does not break the wallet either. Btw, frozen margaritas there is pretty legit too. It's not lite but definitely tasty and refreshing. read more

The service was good but WOW are the food and drinks terrible! I couldn't finish my plate or margarita, it was totally inedible. The margaritas are just tequila and sweet and sour mix (gross) and the carne asada is just a frozen piece of beef pounded paper thin. So so disappointing. There is so much restaurant competition in the area, they really need to improve on the quality of their food and drink. Unfortunately I don't see any reason to come back here again & would not recommend it to others. read more

Why...I mean...how's it this bad?! We ordered queso and margaritas. Neither were edible. The pure rumbling of our bellies forced us to eat more queso than we should have, and we will probably regret it later. How is one to describe the queso? Flavorless, bland, warm, melted cheese. Maybe I'm wrong and those adjectives are right up your alley. If so, you have found your new favorite restaurant. As for the margaritas, the spicy had no spice, but an aftertaste that had you begging for less. So much less that we left a 5/6 full margarita on the table. The house margarita did not have the strange after taste, and was a little sweet for our liking, but at least drinkable. So there you have it. Dine at your own risk. read more

The place wasn't busy, we were seated immediately, we ordered the queso bowl, pollo en crema, bean burrito and cheese quesadilla for the kids. The food was mediocre, the bean burrito came just with black beans inside it, they put verde on it and the cilantro side and black beans on the side, needless to say it is something I do not want to eat again, flavorless. The cheese quesadilla had dry flour on it, and was tasteless. The only good thing was the chips and salsa. read more

What a disappointment. I have been wanting to try this place so bad. Last Saturday we stopped in about 2:00 ish. We requested to sit outside. We were immediately greeted and taken to a table. Where we sat, for 30 minutes. No one came to greet us. No one offered us drinks or chips and salsa. About 20 minutes in a server walked by and said she would be with us shortly. We waited an additional 10 minutes for someone to return. No one ever did. We ended up leaving super disappointed. Would love to give it a second chance but it definitely won't be any time soon, unfortunately. read more

Lots of flies on the patio - very greasy stuffed avocado. Mystified as to why this place is still in business.

Mediocre food. Would have given a 3 but they helped themselves to a few extra dollars beyond what I wrote for the tip so we won't be back.
