Stopped in for lunch on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The complimentary chips and salsa were heated up and very fresh. I must say I really enjoyed them! I ordered the nachos with carne asada. They came on a huge platter with dollops of guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo in the middle. They use the same cheese as the queso in a bowl so it's more fluid which I LOVED! The carne asada was diced small and cooked to perfection...crispy outside and tender inside with not a bit of fat or gristle. They were so good I couldn't stop! I planned on taking half with me but ended up eating practically the whole platter. Their iced tea is freshly brewed and is also delicious. I'll be back soon to try some of their other dishes. The food was so good I forgot to take any pictures! read more

When our Aunt Rachel McMahon flies down from Wisconsin, she and her husband stay with family in Plano, so we made the trip up to Plano from Dallas after church. We found this charming hole in the wall in East Plano. The ambience is casual, Mexican chic with folk art on the walls and World Cup soccer on a big screen TV. Bilingual service was attentive and well paced. We ordered the shrimp ceviche tostadas and queso for appetizers and we all give two thumbs up for the freshly made authentic entrees. We topped our meal off with flan and five leches cake. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I had such a great experience here! We started with the chilaquiles, which came out perfectly crispy with a bright, flavorful, and garlicky salsa. The eggs were a little overcooked at first, but the staff fixed it right away--great service! We also tried the sopes with both cochinita pibil and barbacoa. Both were packed with flavor, and you could really tell the ingredients were fresh. The Mexican omelette was another highlight--super cheesy with plenty of protein in the filling. On the side, the beans were creamy, and the potatoes were crispy, golden brown, and seasoned just right. They also have three salsas available if you like extra heat: a creamy habanero, a creamy avocado, and a chile de árbol salsa. For dessert, we had the churros filled with cajeta, and they were just as good as the rest of the meal--warm, crunchy, and absolutely delicious. Overall, the food, service, and flavors really impressed me. I'll definitely be back! read more

Coming from loa Angeles, I realize I might have high standards for mexican food, but for those like me I need to level-set the reviews for this restaurant. The fajitas i ordered came with no Tortillas at all, bland beans and rice, and carne that was fatty and rubbery. The tacos were roughly the same in terms of quality. Guacamole and chips were fine- but that's way too low of a bar to give this place anything higher than 2 or 3 stars. read more

Great margaritas! We had the Chile en Nogada and it was excellent. Service was great. Definitely will be back to try other menu items.

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Deliciosa comida y muy buen ambiente la música en vivo y ricas bebidas . Y muy bueno para festejar los cumpleaños. Se los recomiendo.

Our first time here. As other folks have noted, this truly is a hidden gem in East Plano. You are greeted with open arms in this establishment as if you are part of the family. And not just upon entering, throughout the entire meal and on your way out. Everyone here goes out of their way to ensure you are happy. We started off with Ranch Waters. Chips and salsa were good. Then they asked if we'd like some different salsa. I enjoy a good spicy salsa. So they brought out three additional salsas, all with their own flavor profile. And in the end I was asked if I would like to try another. Homemade thick salsa that was incredible. We had the pork off the bone and the chicken & beef fajitas. The beef was very flavorful, but a little chewy. The chicken moist and tasty. The pork on the bone was to die for. I typically ignore the barracho beans, but these beans were a meal themselves. Great place. Highly recommend. We will be going back. read more

Good Mexican food. Not Tex-Mex. If you come here wanting Tex-Mex, don't. Go to a Tex-Mex place. If you want to try some authentic dishes from Mexico, then get here now. You won't be disappointed. Great variety from various parts of the country. All well executed. You may not recognize the food when it's served to you, but your tasatebuds will thank you for ordering it. Loosen up and go with the flow. Try real Mexican food. read more

I have been here three times in the last 9 days but today was the first time I was disappointed. The first two times I came here for breakfast. The chilaquiles is 5/5 Chips and salsa 5/5 Horchata 5/5 Chicken burrito 2/5 Tonight I ordered a chicken burrito to go. The menu says it comes with cheese but I was still charged extra. There was hardly any guacamole. This burrito is about half the size of a chipotle burrito. It was okay. I feel like I wasted my money. I'll keep coming back for breakfast before I give dinner another try read more

Agua de pepino was the best. read more

Best Mexican Food and Seasonal Punch in Town! I recently visited Cruzitos Cocina Mexicana, and it was a great experience. The menu is packed with authentic Mexican dishes, but what truly stole the show was their seasonal Mexican punch. It's hands-down the best I've ever had! The punch is warm, perfectly spiced, and loaded with fresh, seasonal fruits that make each sip a burst of flavor. Whether you're a fan of guavas, tejocote, cinnamon or sugar cane this drink captures the festive spirit of traditional Mexican cuisine. The food was equally good. From the tacos to the mole, everything tasted homemade and the chile enogada is to die for!! The friendly service made the experience even better. If you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy authentic food and a standout seasonal treat, This is the place to be. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I had Pazole and my wife has Pachuga de Pollo En Raja; They were AWESOME!!! Their salsas are to die for; different heat from Chipotle, Jalapeño and Habanero!!!

I have been thinking of this place and planning my return since my first visit! Drinks are delicious and food full of flavor! Owner and staff are eager to please. I highly recommend the Oaxacan Margarita - made with Mezcal and hibiscus and comes in a skull glass - and Mezcal flight - comes with crickets, worm salt, tajin, and orange slices. The drinks were excellent and put us in especially good spirits! Chips, salsa, and hot sauces are delicious with three hot sauces/salsa - jalapeño being least spicy and habanero making most people break a sweat;) We order a range of tacos, mole/green chicken, and the incredible Chile enogado - made from a Pueblan abuelita's recipe! You can taste the life and love in the food and drinks here. We were thankful to give it a first try with visitors from out of state and can't wait to return. read more

Food was soooo good I was going to take pictures but we ate it too fast. Also it was kind loud because of the band inside. So we told them we were going to go somewhere else politely. They chased up our and offers to carry a table outside. And I'm glad they did the food was sooo good and fresh . You can tell they use fresh ingredients. Also it was busy and the food still came out fast. read more

Not sure how this place has high reviews. Went to have breakfast there today and our food was cold and wasn't good. Also husband asked for chilaquiles with salsa verde and they gave him salsa roja. Waitress never ask if we needed any refills on drinks or even check if everything was good. Won't be returning. read more

We went back yesterday morning for lunch - spot on yet again. Husband had a michelada and I had a margarita, both were great. I finally got the pork shank in adobo sauce - it was fantastic. Topped with pickled red onions and served with a cup of beans and another of rice. It was a TON of food. When it was time to leave and I asked for a to go container, my wonderful server took it and did it for me - putting my beans and my rice in containers separate from my shank - perfect!! I am one of those weirdos who likes my food to stay separate unless I choose to put it together!!! Husband had carne asada enchiladas with refried beans and rice, also very good. This place is a true gem!!!! read more

We wanted to try a New Mexican place. We stumbled on this place thanks to the great reviews and figured we'd check it out. We were able to squeeze in for happy hour and we ordered the crawler and the midori rita. The crawler is different, I'm not sure how to describe it or if I really liked it, but know it's different. The midori rita was pretty good though. Salsa wise, they have a variety if you ask. I really liked the orange/reddish one he brought out after asking. Perfect kick and flavor. Granted, each salsa had their own flavors and was good in their own way, I just love spicy. For our meals, we ordered the pechuga de pollo and chicken fajitas with refried beans. The chicken is the same for both except sliced for fajitas. Both were delicious. I ordered it with flour tortillas and they mistakenly gave me corn. I was going to suck it up but once our waiter noticed, he made sure I got flour. Food was pretty good except for my beans. The cheese on it had definitely gone bad and smelled like it. Sadly, I had taken a bite already and felt the uneasiness the next morning. Service was excellent. I believe at one point, the owner came by to see how everything was and how we found the place. I would give it a 4.5 but can't go up to a 5 given that the cheese was bad and got me sick the next morning. read more
