    ENCHILADA VERDE
    Nitin S.

    In a whim we decided to stop here. It's a little ways off the beaten track with the usual restaurants but some promising reviews led us here. We are so glad we came because this has to be hands down one of the better Mexican restaurants. The staff including the owner are incredibly helpful and hospitable....checking on us multiple times. The place is cozy and clean...decor is beautiful. The highlight of the trip was the food...simply outstanding. The quesadilla was excellent, also the dish with red snapper and fish was great...fresh and succulent. The enchiladas Michoacán was also excellent. We will definitely be back! Kids and us both loved it.

    Delicious Chiles en nogoda
    Shireen S.

    Our first time at this hidden gem! We came across this restaurant on a YouTube video. We were happy to find out it was less than a 20 minute drive from our home. We came to try the Chiles en nogada. They did not disappoint. I wanted to lick the plate clean! We enjoyed freshly made margaritas and infused pineapple tequila. We will be back soon!

    Carne asada sope

    I had been hearing about this restaurant. On this trip to Texas we decided to try it. What a great experience. The ambience was on point. The service was absolutely fantastic. The food and drinks were amazing. So good we will be back tomorrow. A must try when in Plano.

    Goodness I.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seating space. The food came out in a timely manner, only issue we all had was that the rice was v e r y salty. We ordered the house margarita and it was pretty good.

    Burrito

    10/9/2024: We have gotten take out orders from here before, but tonight we decided to eat in. The restaurant was very clean, and a great atmosphere. The bar area looked nice. Brayan was our host, and he was great. He made us feel like family. The chips and warm salsa was great. We ordered a fajita burrito and an asada quesadilla. We observed the flaming queso being delivered to another table, and it looked awesome! The Spanish music set the tone, and our dining experience was very nice. Brayan brought out a sample of their house tequila with infused pineapple, and it was very potent! We had a couple of Mexican Candy shots, and they were much better than other places we had ordered them from. Parking was plentiful, and the restaurant had a great location. We will definitely dine in again! Thank you Brayan for being such a great host!

    CHILES ENOGADA

    Don't pass this place up! After having a lackluster Mexican experience the night before I was looking for something authentic and unique, and happened to be close to Cruzitos. Cruz, the owner, was behind the bar and was so kind and made great company for a single traveler like me. There was live music and a crew of locals who got up to dance. The food was incredible. The striped bass ceviche was to die for. I also had the chiles enogada and it was fantastic and unlike anything I'd ever had before. Not to mention the impressive drink menu with lots of mezcal options. 10/10. Thank you for making my trip to Plano special and memorable!

    CHILAQUILES
    Natalia T.

    Always on the hunt for some good chilaquiles, they were delicious! The service was great and the ambiance was nice. Will be back :)

    What a cute little spot in east Plano! I was pleasantly surprised when checking this spot out. The decor is simple, cute and they even had a live band. The band was very entertaining and several customers were dancing away. Everything was good that we ordered. I wish it was seasoned just a bit more, but still overall good. I would say their beans were the best! The staff was really attentive. Considering the prices of going out to eat now, their prices are very reasonable.

    No clue how the reviews are this high. Waited 45 minutes JUST to be told our food will take longer. Positive they either lost the ticket or completely forgot to put it in. Sub par fish plate. Steak and shrimp was solid. Aesthetics looked fine

    Randomly walked into this spot since we wanted to try somewhere new. The venue is clean and inviting. Our host was so nice and attentive without being annoying. The food we was a big portion,seasoned well, and priced well.

    Chiles en nogada

    Me encantó! Los chiles en nogada están deliciosos y el servicio de Anayensi de primer nivel. Hay mucho estacionamiento y el lugar está muy limpio. Apoyemos a los restaurantes latinos... te necesitan más que nunca. Definitivamente vamos a volver.

    Mexican Omelette
    Mark M.

    I was on a short visit to the Dallas area and came here because of the large number of 5-star reviews for this restaurant. My one visit here was for breakfast on a quiet Saturday morning. I had the Mexican Omelette, a blend of Mexican and American elements. The omelette was good, but more in the average category of what I would expect of an omelette. I added some salsa to help spice it up. The potatoes were on the dry side and would have been helped if there was some ketchup on the table. (Maybe ketchup was available if I had asked for it, but I didn't ask.) The beans were average. Overall, not bad, but not that exceptional. There were two people working the front of the restaurant on the morning I was there. One of them seemed to have little knowledge of English and the other person ended up communicating with all the people in the restaurant.

    Beside the food and drinks being delicious, the service was unmatched. All of the servers were so…read moreattentive and on top of it. I loved the way they decorated too. It was a Mexican chic vibe. Very well put together.

    This was my second time visiting Mena's Grill, but my first time dining in and sitting at the bar…read more Customer service was excellent -- truly a 5 out of 5. The bartender was attentive, kind, and professional. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and you can tell they have loyal regulars, which always speaks well of a restaurant. The staff overall seemed consistent and friendly. Now for the food. I ordered the queso to start. The flavor was good, but it wasn't hot -- more lukewarm than fresh-out-the-kitchen warm. For my entrée, I had the skirt steak with beans, pico de gallo, enchilada, and rice. The flavors were solid, but again, the plate came out lukewarm. For a Tex-Mex spot, temperature really matters. I don't need it piping hot, but I do expect my food to feel freshly made and properly heated when it arrives. That was my only disappointment. I've ordered carryout before without issue, and because the service and vibe are strong, I will definitely be back to give it another try. I just hope next time the food comes out hot and fresh. Overall: great service, good flavors, strong local energy -- just room for improvement on food temperature.

    Tacos, Tacos, Tacos…read more... How do I love thee... let me count the ways.... I love you with fajita steak, shredded chicken... al pastor, and with shrimp... Being Mexican, having had an unhealthy share of street tacos in Mexico... I'll tell you that it doesn't matter if you like it or not. This is one of the closest taco spots in the area to hit close. I mean this in the most sincere way possible... If you are wanting tacos from a place where a kid from a Chick-Fil-A store or commercial is taking your order, and all of the food choices are combination of about a dozen ingredients slopped together by someone who seriously thought a GED was "Good Enough" by the company behind Pepsi (cough Taco Bell) then this place isn't for you. I like my steak where the recipe to the chicken, pork, and steak isn't "cut bag open and place in warming bin idiot". All jokes aside this place is pretty legit. It's authentic enough where I'm pretty sure I was the only native English speaking person there, including the customers. But not so authentic that there was a cows head in a pot. This place has twisted my arm for all of my Taco money. While you transparent folk are going after the latest version of the Doritos Locos Tacos that's largely corn and recycled Chinese newspaper I'll be here.

    The place is so legit. The ladies who make the food remind me of how my tía's would make food,…read morehomemade, hot and good. Horchata is great, best in Richardson, Plano and Dallas area. It doesn't have fake flavoring and is not overly sweet. Loved their fresh hot chips with the warm salsa The barbacoa Gordita was so good because the masa was cooked on a comal instead of fried. And loved their bacon and egg tacos and their tamales also had a good amount of meat in them.. this will be a regular visited place of mine now. This place is elite
