    Came on a Saturday around 5 pm. Wasn't too busy. We sat at the bar since it was just my husband and I. The waitress was nice. We ordered margaritas. One was the kiwi cucumber margarita I believe. I enjoyed it. Mmm I wouldn't say you could taste the kiwi a lot but it did have cucumbers in the drink. Subtle summer drink. My husband got the frozen margarita. I mean can't go wrong with that. We order the goose eggs. Pretty much is a twist on jalapeños poppers. But it had chicken. They were good but with jalapeños you have a hit or miss on them being spicy. The shrimp cocktail was good. But felt something was missing. We did have an issue. I mean I think it's something they didn't have control over tbh. But I had to go to the bathroom and unfortunately the bathrooms were closed due to plumbing issues. Idk if they got it fixed. I didn't bother to go back to check. I jsut had to go somewhere else once we left.

    I had not eaten at a Blue Goose in years and in my quest to try new places I decided to try this location for the first time. Walking in it looks the same as the one I visited some 20 years ago. Turquoise and Yellows along with Christmas lights for lighting. Concrete floors, wood tables. Almost like a college frat boy designed it for easy cleaning after the party. My service was good. My server, Ivan, was good at balancing the tables in his section. One thing I must note is the staff here is great. Super friendly, welcoming, and makes you glad to be here. Much like the decor has not changed, the food really has not either. It's the same old drab food I left them for 20 some years ago. It's not terrible by any means mind you, there just is nothing special about it. I just can't imagine a lot of people claiming it as their favorite Mexican joint! See ya in another 20 Blue Goose!

    Chicken Tortilla Soup

    Delivered. I got the goose eggs, and the pick 2 with a crispy chicken taco, pork tamale, and tortilla soup. The goose eggs were delish. I heated them up in the air fryer because why not. I mean you know...delivery. I did have to eat the filling out of them only after eating one. Why, you ask? Because they were hot. The chicken taco and tamale were good, also. One thing about the tortilla soup. Lots of big onions, lots of big onions. With that being said, I tossed those aside and threw down on that soup. Everything was good. Oh, chips and salsa included.

    We came after Performance at Grapevine Mills. Wasn't busy at all and we had a party of 10 they got us seated right away. Served Chips and Salsa to get started our server was very sweet and did a fantastic job navigate the group. We had guacamole as and appetizer which was served in a taco shell with limes fresh with some zest very good. I had the Tacos Dorados and Diana had the Mesquite grilled shrimp for drinks I had the Old Fashion and Diana the Paloma. Food was served hot with Rice and Charro beans. And we all were served at the same time so no one was waiting while the others ate.Its Tex-Mex done well.

    Yummy you should totally get this

    overall, it was a really good place to eat. the food was awesome, though I don't recommend the nachos.. they were really good but cant really be considered nachos because it was just four tortilla chips with meat and cheese on it. the staff was the best part about the whole restaurant and it's a fun experience with the staff. between their dancing waiter and waiters teasing each other it was a great environment to eat. I think the dancing waiters name was Cameron, if I'm right make sure you tell him he has awesome moves, if not he just looks like a Cameron. Thanks Cameron for the laugh

    My call sign in the Corps was Goose, so anyplace with a goose as a mascot, icon, or wording its he name I almost feel obligated to try out. I am glad I stopped in here. The chips were nice, not overly thick and not overly thin, well salted, warm, and the salsa was good. It had a good taste, could be a little hotter for my tongue, but I can't complain since I know they make this stuff for the masses. The Taco Plate for lunch was nice. I had one beef and one chicken, both were very good. Shells were crispy, the flavoring was decent, not overly done. The ground beef wasn't overly greasy, tho it didn't have a lot of seasoning either. It was still good tho. I sat at the bar today, the bartender was very nice and helpful. He stayed on top of my insatiable need for chips and salsa. It was really good and the staff was just as nice. Don't let the age of the place fool you. It's a great place, I will return.

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!

I grew up eating school lunch in a state ranked 47th in the U.S. for food quality and taste, and after eating here, I genuinely miss my school lunches. I would rather eat cafeteria food any day. This was literally the worst food experience I have ever had. I can almost guarantee the reviews are fake. Salsa: Literally packaged tomato paste. If you are going to serve packaged salsa, at least use store-bought instead of warmed-up tomato sauce. Chicken Enchiladas Verdes: Rated one of their most popular items, and it was disgusting. If that chicken were any drier, you could weave it into polyester. It was overcooked, packaged meat. Brisket Quesadillas: Absolutely revolting. I have no other comment to make, as I am currently trying not to throw up.

Mesa's is just a few minutes drive from Gaylord so it is super convenient. The ambience is pleasant and open and in general it was fine.

The free chips and salsa were good but not outstanding. The salsa was warm and obviously homemade, but it lacked kick. It was tasty but not "OMG this is good." I started with a cup of Roberto's queso which is the standard queso cheese with some ground beef, pico, and a tablespoon of guacamole. It too was good but not outstanding. I am not sure what it was missing but there was something that was needed. I had the two beef tacos and they were just average. Not much flavor or anything distinctive. The ground beef was not well seasoned so they were kind of bland. The rice and black beans were also kind of bland. Frankly, my tacos at home are better. The wife had the taco salad and liked it, although it did not come with any dressing. She used the salsa. Not sure if that was an oversight or that is the way the salad is served. She was also happy that they serve Negro Modelo on tap, so she was happy. The kid had nachos with black beans and cheese and did not complain. Overall, the meal was fine, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out as a compelling reason to return.
