My husband is new to this area and loves Tex-Mex. We were in the area so I thought going to this restaurant would be a good thing for both of us. The food was excellent. We enjoyed it very much. The service was adequate. It was a more busy time so I took that into consideration and the atmosphere was amazing. It has a really good fun Tex-Mex vibe. We will return when we are over that way again. We both enjoyed it immensely. read more

First off parking sucks. I think the chef got lost on his culinary travels. I understand Tex Mex food but Tex mex American is a new one. Brisket taco with no sauce? Little bbq or some pico something. Enchiladas with cheddar cheese. Cheddar doesn't melt the way it needs to for a proper enchilada. Drowning it in canned cheese sauce is a crime. The waitress said it was covered in a red sauce. She didn't say the red sauce was Hormel Chili when they remade it. The Dirty Bob was not dirty but im think Bob made it by cutting corners. I had bigger burritos at Taco Bell and they had more meat and a lot cheaper. Says comes with Ranchero sauce. I tried the cheese. Had the runs most of the night. Ranchero sauce is just that. Not Hormel Can chili. My son had the Brisket tacos and was puking in your bath room before we left. Some of the people in our group really liked the food. But they are locals and used to this American food. I think the health inspector needs to visit and see what he finds. You need to change your food from Tex-Mex to American. read more

Good food. Shrimp cocktail is delicious. The queso with meat is a great appetizer. The nachos with chicken is also good.

It's always good! Homemade fresh tortillas, great drinks & specials, great nachos... and the Blue Goose tamales are always sooo good!

Our Anniversary was last week, the day before it my dad fell. Our anniversary day we spent at Big Baylor and cancelled our original plans. Driving home we stopped expecting a good meal, drinks and service. We were not disappointed! The drinks were great, the food was excellent as always, the service was extra special when our waitress found out what the day was and how our day had been. They made us feel extra special and we appreciated every moment of the night. It will be an anniversary to remember ending with a high note. Thank you for taking care of us and we will be back only wish it was closer to Sherman! read more

Appetizers and entrees were on-point! Drinks were OK, even if a little low on ETOH. We were quickly seated in the cavernous dining area, even at a peak time. Wait-staff was very friendly, but a bit inexperienced & confused. read more

What an awesome experience. Or server, Noah, was amazingly attentive. You have to try the queso with meat...I could make a meal out of just that. I had the fish taco appetizer for my meal, hubby had ground beef tacos, daughter had enchilada and tamale combo, and grandson had a burrito. Everything was spot-on...fresh and delicious. Their salsa is wonderful too. Welcoming atmosphere. read more

We came on a Saturday evening--it was pretty full but there was no wait for 2 people. It's too bad we live 40 miles from this establishment otherwise it would be a place we'd frequent. We stopped on the way home from an event. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. I hardly write reviews but I had to praise what a remarkable job Aolani did. My fiancé and I both agreed she's the best server we've had in a very long time--not including fine dining establishments (which we think she'd fit right in). Aolani was very attentive and on top of everything--we had a few requests during and after our meal. She even offered to get off-menu items that would complement my meal right before I was planning to ask for them--if this is not above and beyond service, you're asking for too much. Even when the kitchen got my order wrong (it happens), I was not the least bit upset. All the other food and side dishes kept me satisfied. The kitchen cooked it right away, so I didn't have to wait long. I hope management recognizes their stars (the ones who put in the hard work and care in their job). They (even BOH) are just as important as the customers. read more

Brought my parents here after they recently moved to the McKinney area. The service was outstanding and very accommodating for our large family, and the food was great! We had a variety of dishes and everyone came away very satisfied. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. We'll be returning and making this one of our regular family places! read more

Love their food, but ...we brought our puppy to sit out on the patio. We told the hostess that we had a puppy and she said that was fine. The waitress even brought him water. Only after we had ordered did the manager come by to tell us that they were "not pet friendly" and asked me to put the puppy in the car. I ended up eating my food in the car so the rest of the family didn't need to leave. read more

I am staying at the Hampton Inn right behind The Blue Goose Cantina and decided to give it a try. First, Love the atmosphere here. Very lively and up beat. The staff what's amazing, very friendly and warm greeting the instant I walked in the door, my waiter Brody was amazing. He recommended the fajitas and I will say they did not disappoint. The flavor was full and robust. The flour tortillas were perfect, not too thin, not too thick. I believe they are made on site. I will eat here again the next time I am in town. Great Find in McKinney. read more

The place was busy when we walked in, but we still got seated right away. Service was great, our server was very attentive and fast; he made sure to check on us if we needed something. The place was festive with Christmas lights. We ordered cocktail, margarita was a bit sour and I did not really taste any alcohol (it still has a good taste to it). I ordered the brisket taco and it tasted about average. My husband got the chile Relleno, it was pretty spicy and it still had seeds and all, but he likes spicy food so it works for him. The chips and salsa that they serve while waiting for your food was a good addition. read more

We had a great experience here! Although they seemed pretty busy, we were seated as soon as we got to the restaurant, and our waitress did a fabulous job! I believe her name was Alyssa. My street tacos were great, half chicken and half steak! It was a good amount of food for the price. We expected the chimichanga to be bigger than it was, but it was still awesome! Spend money here! They will do you right. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting even though it was a busy Tuesday night. They have bar seating where you can watch the game, and you can't hear it in other parts of the restaurant. Keep up the good work! read more

Went in a Sunday, there was no wait, there were a lot of empty booths yet the hostess decided to seat us in the least favorable spot, right in front of where the kitchen meets the restaurant. Needless to say I kindly asked for a different table. Ordered a hibiscus margarita it was like 99% ice. The food made it for everything though. The salsa was the best I've ever had & the steak dirty Bob was cooked deliciously. The steak was very tender! read more

Fun place with experienced and dedicated staff. Food it good and drinks are very tasty. Somewhat busy but large amount to handle lots of guests. read more

Found glass in a margarita, bled from my tongue, and the manager responded sarcastically. Only the drink was removed from the bill.

Service is so slow & it's freezing in here! Food gets cold super fast! This location the quality has gone down. Plano location is still good. I really like the Manager here but will stick with Plano even though this one is closer. read more

Their house margaritas are the best I've ever had. Their mix is homemade and it's so light and refreshing and not too sweet or sour. The reason for the three stars is there is barely any cheese in the birria tacos or the quesadillas! Ask for extra ! read more

Pretty average to below average tex-mex. Food doesn't justify the cost in my opinion. Drink was good, the combo-fajitas were ok at best. $26 for 8 pieces of fajita. Service was great. Service 5 stars food 2 stars read more

We've talked about visiting for a while. The restaurant is large and was clean. I can see why others say it's noisy. They quickly sat our group of 6. Our waiter was superb. The food got mixed reviews from the group. A few liked the quesadilla but the rest of us didn't like anything but the charro beans. read more

I've been here a couple of times, but I'm afraid this visit, I'm going to have to downgrade them to three stars (from four). We arrived at noon, they seem fairly busy, but we're seated right away. However, the hostess acted a bit odd... Can't quite put my finger on it, but subpar. Initially, the waiter stop by fairly quickly, and took our order for queso and drinks. He came back with both... however, we hadn't gotten the chips yet!? He said they would be coming. They did arrive before our queso got cold. We didn't see the waiter for quite a while, but he did finally come back. He took our order, and it came out accurately... Hot and fresh. However, we ran out of chips and hot sauce, and had to stop someone and ask for more. Additionally, our drinks ran empty, and it was quite a while before the weather showed back up to take care of refills. Have to give service just two stars We got steak fajitas. Typically, I find the price generally matches up with a quality. However, the fajitas were on the high-end price wise, but we're definitely not in line quality wise. The flavor was good, but you absolutely had to cut them with a knife. The refried beans lacked flavor. However, the chips and salsa were good. About 3 1/2 stars. We enjoyed the atmosphere! Clean and well-maintained. The bar is a sports like bar area. Other wise it's your typical Tex-Mex restaurant environment. 4+ stars for this. A friend of ours picked this place to have lunch. I might come back, but likely try something else, if I'm in the area. read more

Parking nightmare. Went at 6pm on a Thursday, and the lot was completely full. Pulled into what looked like an abandoned fast food place to park. Apparently Pollo Regio is in business and what little customers they get don't use that space. Was towed and left without car seats for my small children. This is a NEW problem and management should be taking care of it or at least have waitstaff and hostesses reminding people to not park there until they figure it out. Will never go back and will tell everyone management is horrible. Likely Pollo Regio and Blue Goose is getting money on the side from Tow companies because they had them circling the lot. Food average at best. Dirty floors. read more

Fantastic food and the service is awesome. I am giving it 3 stars because parking is a nightmare. We have handicapped family members and they a very limited number of spaces. Even without the handicap problem, parking is a nightmare. read more

Met friends there last evening. They recently moved to Indiana and Blue Goose is our go to place. While we only ordered drinks along with chips, salsa and queso, our server Milani was outstanding. She was welcoming, friendly knowledgeable and provided amazing customer service. She also introduced us to the La Flaca drink which we all enjoyed. Milani is a tremendous asset to Blue Goose and wanted to give her the recognition she deserves. read more

It's pretty good food, nothing here is spicy. The salsa is diced tomatoes with a little bit of seasoning. If you get any of the sauces that say they come with jalapeños, they're going to be pickled nacho jalapeños. So all around the flavors are just OK. They say the tortillas are homemade and you can see the tortilla machine, but they're just not that good. I've always said once you started getting north of Waco. Mexican food went downhill really bad. This place is no exception. read more

I've eaten at this location at least 4 to 5 times a week and will never return. The parking is the worst ever and the spot I took was for pickup so yes my fault but I don't need to be ragged on by some kid. The spot next to it was being used for auto repairs by another employee. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but i was so moved by the customer service from our server Paris, she was so kind and welcoming to the group i went with. Not to mention the wonderful ambiance from the warm outdoor section of the restaurant, i felt right at home while enjoying my lemonade. Five stars, i will definitely be coming again. read more

My wife and I are on vacation in McKinney and decided to give Blue Goose Cantina a try. We came for dinner and immediately loved the atmosphere and asked to sit outside in their patio seating. We were quickly greeted by our server Amanda. She was very friendly and personable. Amanda took our order and always made sure we had enough drinks, salsa, and chips. Our food came out quickly and was very flavorful. We ordered the street tacos and guacamole as an appetizer - their guacamole was perfect with NO tomatoes! The food was fantastic! We appreciated the friendliness and attentiveness of Amanda. If you're in McKinney and looking for a great Mexican place - consider Blue Goose! read more

Went out on Monday night, not too busy. Service was good, chips & salsa right away, drinks quickly as well. However, we were sat in this alley section by a door and the servers station & it's COLD over there! It was in the lower 30s (outside). We had to keep our coats on & the table behind us commented about keeping their beanies on because it was cold. No, I'm not an old fart, but maybe stick to seating the warmer areas first when we get this type of weather? Churros were great! The rest of the food was meh. And Alyssa, you lied the lime rice was not good. Jokes aside Alyssa was a great server. read more

Parking situation is terrible. Small parking at Blue Goose is full and what looks like available parking has a tolling business taking cars as soon as you walk into Blue Goose. Definitely won't be back! Someone is making money on the side. Blue Goose needs to take care of their customers and Regio, you should make money off your own customers. read more

Our server, Alyssa B, was EXCELLENT! Knew the menu completely. Tastes. Descriptions of dishes were spot on with the new menu. Highly recommend. And we are in the food service industry, so our expectation of service is high. Great job Alyssa. read more

We were optimistic on our way here as this was the destination for our final dinner before heading home. Sad to say, but the best thing we had was the complimentary chips and salsa. The rave reviews on Google really misled us. Gonna stick to what Yelpers have to say!! The brisket tacos looked popular and delicious. They were so bland. The big bad botanas platter wasn't much better. With a few more fried/crispy options lending a bit more depth to the food. Goose eggs had a good heat to them but the cheese was a bit rubbery. Fajita quesadilla chicken and beef mix were good but must have been the weird cheese throwing it off. The fajita nachos and the guacs were good. The queso was a bit too heavily salted. The best service was when the food was brought out and the guy returned with smaller plates fairly quickly. And when I went up to the tortilla counter to ask one of the women for utensils. Yeah. Not coming back but it's got a cute outdoor patio that sits out with a view of the parking lot and highway lol read more

Amazing experience all thanks to server Jasmine C, bright personality and always take care of us!

Great Service Alert! We came in after a softball tournament, we had a group about 30-35 people. They didn't even sweat it, even with a full restaurant. We got sat outside on the patio, the got it all warm and comfy in there. I couldn't believe the service. We got are drinks instantly, and the free chip refills were constantly flowing. We got our food & everyone enjoyed it. Believe it or not, i actually didn't even get a picture of the supreme queso or my OG Tacos. I was so wrapped in the great atmosphere and began eating. Hands down must try the supreme queso with brisket. This place was delish and a great time with Amazing staff. I wish i could remember the man name who helped us! He was a african american man with glasses with the best attitude. hats off to you sir for handling a bunch of college girls starving after a tournament ! If your in town stop by, you won't be disappointed read more

Tasty, fast and affordable. Hard to beat. Staff checked on us at all the right times and kept the refills coming. I'll be back.

The food and service at Blue Goose was excellent. The hibiscus margarita was absolutely delicious and I can be picky about my margaritas. The menu listed it as margarita of the year (2022) in a Fort Worth competition. I can definitely say it's a winner. We enjoyed the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer which was very flavorful. My tacos were excellent. We ordered additional food to go and the timing was impeccable to when we got our check. Wonderful dinner! read more

Very possibly the worst excuse for any type of mexican food we've experienced anywhere in the lower 48 States and much too expensive for the low quality stuff being served here... We just moved to the area and had always noticed quite a few cars at the place so we decided to see how it rated with someone who had actually been around My wife had some kind of chicken that was supposed to be in a sour creme 'sauce' NASTY, it had either been left under the heat lamp too long or was actually thick almost dried out wallpaper paste. I was upset because they only had like no vegan options and 2 vegetarian options. I asked the waitress if they had a comment box and she said no. I have no earthly idea how this place got this nu,ber of stars in their review but seems fishy to me Bottom line, don't let the crowd at the time fool you, this place is at best one level 'below' taco bell.

Met a friend for lunch; the food and drinks were delicious. Our waitress was amazing; the only challenge we had was that, upon entering, the hostess was busy with something behind her stand and just waved us towards the bar area with no menus. It took a couple of minutes for our waitress to staff to notice we had sat down, but then were quick with service from there. Highly recommend the loaded queso. I had the bacon wrapped shrimp for my meal, and they were excellent. read more

Delicious!! Hatch Fest happening!! We tried the Hatch Trick...it was fabulous!! I loved the hatch salsa the most but the hatchamole and hatch queso was great too. My daughter and I had the pineapple and jalepeno infused tequila...called Pablo's Daughter. Weirdly good. The quesadilla is delish as well as the steak fajitas. With all that food, 2 people can share the half pound steak fajitas. . Restrooms were clean and the waitstaff was nice. Our only issue was needing to ask for tortillas to eat with our fajitas. They were forgotten by first person who said they'd be back. Overall, We will be back. Thank you Blue Goose Cantina. read more
