Ordered some tacos (Trompa, barbacoa, carnitas, and tripa) along with a portion of chicaron bites. To drink of course we wanted some Mexican jugos.... One tamrindo and another horchata. Soon enough the tacos came out along with the chicharon. All I can say, finally I found my Mexican taco stop in Dallas. Authentic flavors, perfect portions where the tacos have the right amount of meat vs tortilla. I will definitely be going back

Little ones had a blast on the outdoor play area that families have direct access to their kids out on the patio space. I believe this used to be a daycare that was closed down during the pandemic and the owners then bought it and turned it into a restaurant. Rare to find an exposed playground at a sit down restaurant. A+ for that alone. The mango margarita is refreshing and not too sweet; I enjoyed the happy hour pricing. Fajitas were fine. We would definitely get their tres leches and sopapolllas again! All in all I highly recommend for parents looking for a spot for their kids under the age of five.

I love that there was turf so the baby could crawl around and I was seated right by the playground so I could watch the kids and eat. The playground was also completely covered to protect from that Texas sun. I will definitely be back! I wish there were more restaurants like this!

On the plus side, It has plenty of parking and a large lobby in case there is a wait. As far as food goes, the chips and salsa are fresh but pretty standard, there is nothing really to make these stand out. They are alright. This most recent visit I got a Paola's Plate with 3 different enchiladas. It had been about 2 years since I had last been to Mena's, but I don't remember it being so heavy. Out of the dish, the sour cream enchilada was the best one, but the queso on the soft cheese taco was too heavy and the chile con carne on the cheese enchilada was almost inedible. Service here is typically pretty transactional. We really felt like we were an obstacle to our waiter getting to do something else.

The bathrooms weren't the nicest but also not the worst--one of the stall doors didn't lock, though they had added something to help with that. The inside is pretty nice, and our waiter came over shortly after we were seated. We ordered appetizers and drinks, and the appetizers arrived in about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the service wasn't the best. Our server would leave for long periods and didn't check on us, even though she passed by our table multiple times and we clearly needed assistance. She also addressed us with very casual language like "yeah," which didn't feel very professional. That said, the food was excellent. Everything starting with the chips and salsa was great--the salsa was one of the best fresh salsas I've ever had. We also ordered the cheese quesadillas, and they were perfect in every way. My entrée was delicious as well; the cheese and meat were cooked perfectly, and the rice and beans were great. (I got the fajita Monterrey) Overall, the food was very tasty, but the service could definitely be more professional. Also, the menu is not very flexible--you can't substitute ingredients (like removing onions from the guacamole) or order off-menu items such as egg tacos, even though they have the ingredients. The food was good, but I'm not sure I loved the service.

Let me tell you they were cooked really well. Crispy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside which is perfect for me. Tortillas were ok but didn't seem homemade. Overall they were tasty. Salsa was decent. Simple taco. My meal order was the pork in green chili sauce meal. This was actually pretty good and the beans and rice were flavorful. The flour tortillas didn't seem like they came out of a bag. I washed it all down with a horchata that was good but maybe missing cinnamon. Final review is this place was good but nothing over the top. I might go back to try something else and see if the menu is consistent.

From the moment I walked in, the hospitality and attention to detail were unmatched. Shout out to Tim, the owner, for his recommendations, friendliness, and genuine care. It made the experience feel so personal and welcoming. The restaurant is perfect for any type of gathering, friends, coworkers, or couples. Every corner of the space and every interaction reflects authenticity. You can tell that the team takes pride in making sure every guest feels valued. And the food! Every dish is crafted with care and full of flavor. The drinks were just as thoughtfully made, each one showing love and attention to detail. You can feel it in every bite and every sip. Overall, Chante Mexican Grill & Cantina is more than just a place to eat. It is an experience. I left feeling full, happy, and already planning my next visit. I can't wait to go back and try even more.

I had the nachos which are typically a favorite when I try out a new Mexican restaurant.

They are certainly welcome. It looks like they want my review to be a little longer. Let me add that they can see large and small parties as the tables are four top, which can be put together to see 8 to 12. It is casually decorated and a very warm and welcome place to have dinner. Again, a little Mexican restaurant to keep in mind the next time you're looking for a Mexican fix. Chris
