The Blue Goose Cantina in Plano is a great spot for a casual meal, especially when the weather is nice. The food is consistently pretty good, with plenty of Tex-Mex favorites to choose from. The service was adequate but not particularly memorable. While our needs were met, the experience lacked the attentiveness and friendliness that would have taken it to the next level. The real highlight is the patio. On a beautiful evening, it's one of the best places to sit and enjoy dinner with family or friends. The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. Overall, Blue Goose Cantina offers good food and an excellent outdoor dining experience. If you can grab a table on the patio, especially on a pleasant night, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Honestly the best happy hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays for lunch and early dinner. Definitely a great option to is get the fajitas chicken is the best, the beef isn't just okay. I highly recommend the chicken. Tasty tasty! Corn and flour tortillas are BOTH the best fresh tortillas always. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVED that they had a legit vegan option on their menu with the impossible beef tacos!! Maybe not the best tacos I've had. The rice and beans also lacked seasoning. So probably a four star meal BUT they get an extra star for even having the option. The service was good and our servers were very friendly. The space itself is also nice. They have a really great happy hour too. Great classic margs. read more

Ronika is always wonderful every time we come here. The food is pretty consistent and you can't go wrong with the classics here. The dining room is bright and open, and is a good place to hang out and have a casual conversation. Overall a very positive experience and I look forward to my next meal here. read more

The service at this location was not what I've come to be used to at this restaurant chain. It was my first visit to this location. Better experience at Taco Bell. Unbelievable!! Every chip had to be wiped off... so much salt. Cold old flour tortillas (watched them take them out of wrapper) Terrible quality for the high prices charged. Do not recommend this location. Wish I would've gone to Addison or Frisco or any other location. Never saw a Manager once. And as far as the ambience, I think you'd have better ambience in the service bay of a car dealership. I wonder if I've got my point across. I certainly don't mean this is a reflection on our server and did give the server a full 20% tip. If I was tipping the restaurant it would've got nothing. read more

I usually go to a different Blue Goose location, but this time we decided to try another one and wow, what a difference. This spot feels more modern and updated, yet still keeps the same delicious food quality and warm service that Blue Goose is known for. Our server, Carrie, was absolutely exceptional. She was attentive without hovering, lighthearted and funny, and genuinely engaged with all of us, including my daughter, which always earns bonus points in my book. She made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. We went on a Sunday night, later in the evening, and I was surprised at how relaxed the atmosphere was. It wasn't busy at all, service was quick, and every dish hit the mark. The Tacos Dorados (chicken flautas) were amazing, the birria tacos were packed with flavor, and the queso dip is definitely a must-order. We left saying the same thing: we'd gladly make the extra drive to come back to this location over the one closest to us. That alone says a lot. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Been eating at Blue Goose (multiple locations) for over 30 years. The food has never disappointed me and the margaritas are phenomenal!

Sunday, we met friends at Blue Goose for dinner and sat on the patio. We all ordered different Quesadillas... Steak, Combo, and Veggie... and washed them down with TX Whiskey Margs and Sangria. The food and service were excellent and the vibe was upbeat and enjoyable in the great weather. read more

We've been going to Blue Goose in Plano for years. Would highly recommend for your TexMex craving!

Went for a family dinner, service was slow. Food was lukewarm when it arrived and bland. Have been here a dozen times prior, but will probably not return. read more

We came for national margarita day. Service was slow. They were offering 9$ top shelf margaritas which we ordered. I received a a small drink in a plastic cup. Once I took the ice out of the drink, I had half a cup left and it tasted like minute maid. Wouldn't return. read more

We recently visited the Blue Goose for the second time, while staying with family in Carrollton. I will say that the quality of the meal was higher the first time (6-months ago). But overall, we enjoyed the drinks (margaritas), chips and salsa (salsa is too hot for some, but I really like it) and most of us enjoyed our entree. A mistake was made on mine and the food wasn't as hot as it could be. We had a friendly young man waiting on us and he had a great sense of humor. The restaurant was not super busy at 5ish on a Friday night, but was pretty full when we left. It has a lively atmosphere and can be pretty loud when it's full. Our family really likes the Blue Goose, so I am sure we will be back. read more

I was real disappointed in Blue Goose today. We love coming for the happy hour and the queso. Our friend wanted to have her birthday dinner there with 11 people. First--when we ordered drinks, the waitress only ID'd the younger ones (25-27 years old). She didn't ID any of the ladies over 30, but one could think that was rude because she went based off of looks to check ID's. The polite thing to do would be to check everyone's ID. Next, I ordered queso when everyone ordered drinks. Reminded her twice about it as well, after 2 hours of being there it still never came. She never apologized. Just said "oh, I'll take it off your bill." Third, she heard it was the birthday girls birthday multiple times and never offered to bring the free dessert that we are aware they do. Fourth, One of the girl's margaritas tasted like acetone. Not like a "strong drink" but no like literal nail polish remover. Fifth, I asked the server for more salsa because the fish taco appetizer was very bland in flavor, and she said okay then never came back with it. Lastly, She had a very rude attitude about her, and I've noticed it when being served by her before but never ordered food besides queso or was there long enough to notice. As much as I love their queso-- will not be back. read more

Price value relationship plus great service.....great assortment of meals and drinks to choose from. Either for lunch of dinner

Super disappointing. Just wanted some fajitas and a margarita. Service slow with few people eating. Margarita arrived after quite a wait and barely 3/4 full. Fajitas finally arrived but chicken dry and lifeless hardly any veggies to add. Only thing that saved it was fresh tortillas. Stunned when bill arrived and it's $40!!! Will safely guarantee I'll never come back. in Dallas so many other options-especially with those prices. read more

best restaurant ever!!! Javier is the best!! Always really enjoy our time, food, and drinks!

Mediocre experience! Large family gathering with 10 of us on the Sunday before Christmas. Waiter although nice didn't seem to have it together. After he took our order, and food was delivered, he kind of abandoned us. Tacos were very bland & he never asked if we wanted more drinks or another beer. It seemed busy for a Sunday, but not to the point of the waiters being overwhelmed. Doubt if I'll ever return mainly because the quality of food was subpar. read more

Nice and relaxing ambiance, service is fast and friendly. Blue goose tamales were fresh and contained the right amount of masa and chicken. The hibiscus margarita was ok. But do NOT order dessert!! The dessert- only two options: sopapilla and churros- seriously? Chose sopapilla and regretted it after one bite. They're one inch puffed squares with cinnamon sugar. Not at all like the fluffy six inch round things one gets in an authentic Mexican restaurant- the ones you pour honey before enjoying a heavenly mouthful. Over all, not a very authentic Mexican place. Sorry! read more

Oh no ma'am. November 2023 Friday 3:30ish Waiter was nice. But the food was not. Diablo -- swirl margarita. My friend gave a 2/5 because it's sweet. I like sweet. I gave it a 4/5. But I don't think the alcohol is there. $11, so maybe 3.5/5. House Margarita $5. Terrible. lol. Slurped that down for a bit of buzz. Flavor costs more. Flavor would not have saved it. Queso $9. Nope. I see where they were going with that. But no. To me, it was like the queso was good, but to stretch it and make it last all day, they added water or something. Never again. We just told the waiter we wanted the check. Couldn't imagine how the food was going to be, so we didn't chance it. Off to another restaurant we go. I'll not return read more

I'll be honest, I was hesitant to try this place because it has 3.5 stars but this just goes to show sometimes you just have to try things first yourself. I ordered takeout online and I was really satisfied with the taste and quality. The chicken fajitas, rice, and guacamole were delicious. The brisket tacos and street tacos were pretty tasty too. read more

We made plans to meet our good friends for dinner here at the Blue Goose Cantina. My friend tried to make a reservation by calling and never could get through. Since I have the Open Table app I put in a reservation for 4 for a Friday at 6;00 pm. It accepted my reservation but when I added it to my calendar, it put it down for 12:00 am! Weird! Anyway, when hubby and I arrived there were open booths and tables and we were seated right away. I ordered 4 glasses of water and they were delivered quickly along with a basket of chips and several different salsa dips. Our friends arrived a few minutes later and they were shown over to our booth. We all perused our menus to decide what we were going to order. Service was very attentive. Hubby and I decided to share some chicken fajitas. The food was delivered super fast, especially since it was a busy Friday evening. Everything was prepared as we had ordered it. The chicken was moist and perfectly grilled. We ordered a combination of flour and corn tortillas. It was fun to watch fresh tortillas being made in the machine. We enjoyed our delicious meals with our good friends. The large table next to us had several really loud customers, but luckily they finished up and were leaving, right as our food was being delivered. I could have used a refill in my water glass, especially after all the talking we were doing, but we needed to head out so it was no big deal. We got a "to-go" box and packed up our leftovers to enjoy the next day. I would definitely come back! read more

Food was great, service was too. Enjoyed trying the La Flaca Margarita. We will be back.

Great food at a fair price. We always get excellent service. Great place to hang with family on the patio or watch sports at the bar.

It's been a while since I've had Blue Goose. Now upon my recent dining experience, I plan to add it to my regular rotation. My experience was all-around great! I dropped by for lunch on a weekday. I was seated promptly and my order was taken after I had a few moments to check out the menu and nosh on some delicious chips and salsa. The chips here are so light and with very little salt. They are some of the best chips out there! The salsa is great too- it has a slight smokiness to it and is just the right amount of spicy. They have plenty of lunch items to choose from to build your own combo. This time, I picked a cheese enchilada with rice and borracho beans. The queso on the enchilada was pretty darn close to perfect. It was the enchilada I didn't even know I needed. Rice and beans frequently play second fiddler to the main course, but the rice and breaks here are great and have their own special flavor profiles that make them stand out. The rice is mellow and fluffy, while the borracho beans have a thickness to the sauce that lacks in other versions of the dish. Needless to say, I really enjoyed every aspect of my meal. From the piping hot temperature, to the freshness of the food- there is nothing I could think needs to be improved upon! The restaurant itself looks like a refresh. I had never been to this Blue Goose, but based on the other two I had been to, this looks newer. The atmosphere was happy and quite a varied playlist was shooting off everything from Tejano to Counting Crows. Love that diverse assortment of music! Based on my great experience, I look forward to visiting again sometime soon. The food was way beyond my expectations and it was a great value. I made 2 meals out of my dish! read more

Food-4 Drink-2 Service-2 Ambiance-3 Food was good. Happy Hour drinks were only $1 off. Pitiful service. Tip is traditionally based on the price of food and drink minus any taxes. when service is good I base the tip off everything, poor service tip is based off only food and drink. Waiter who was AWOL most of the time not filling drinks nor bringing napkins too exception to my 15% tip based on only food and drink. Not going back there again. read more

Great food, service and ambience. The wait staff is great. Very good fajitas, chips & queso!

Drinks were VERY GOOD!! We got both margaritas and we can tell why they were award winners. We also got the queso and it was delicious. Our entrees were just okay nothing that special but still great. I would say the drinks and apps were the best part. read more

How do you spell great Tex-Mex food? Blue Goose!! I know, What does a Blue goose have to do with Tex-Mex? Nothing!!! It comes from Casablanca & the blue parrot. They have been voted the best Tex-Mex in DFW for a reason. Great outdoor seating. Have fun and see if you can find the blue goose. read more

This place is great. I went here with my dad and uncle and the chips and salsa are great. The Chips are so thin it's amazing. I got the tacos with ground beef. I don't even know how to describe how good the ground beef is. The server u had was great and I wasn't sure what her name was and she was amazing, didn't catch her name tho read more

The decor is pretty cool at BGC and they've got a good playlist of hits playing over the speakers. It's a really good environment that almost gives off the Chevy's vibe but not as chain-ey. I definitely want to explore the menu more during happy hour. I saw a mountain of nachos pass by and a quesadilla that looks like it could feed the whole table. So the good news is that portions are not an issue here. The kid's menu has a lot of variety which is great if you have picky littles...like everyone does. If your kids are not the rice and beans type, there's a fruit and dip (yogurt) option that may be the most delicious thing ever. Don't try a bite, parents, or you won't let your kids have any. It would just be nice if that could be a free sub for rice and beans instead of an extra charge. More review to follow after next date night, haha. read more
