My husband and I had a great lunch at Dahlias today! The service was excellent, friendly, and timely. Comfortable seating and atmosphere. We had the molletes appetizer which was so good! Neither of us have had it before. We both did the street tacos, (pastor and carne asada) which is SO MUCH food for the price! We had leftovers! read more

Got food poisoning right after eating pastor burrito. Something tasted weird but didn't put much attention. I think the pork wasn't fully cooked. My friend order the same thing and got the same results we do know now was from bad pork ( pastor ) read more

The food was good. I had the tamale, rice and beans. I like that it is a home made tamale and not factory bought. It was good. I felt it was a little dry and could have used some sauce over the tamale. My friend had Bistec Ranchero , I tried it and it had really great flavor. The place reminds me of a taqueria atmosphere but overall the food was delicious. I must go back to try another dish. The salsas were very tasty. The service was good and they were friendly. Too hot to eat outside but they did have tables and umbrellas out. read more

Another great dinner at Dahlias! This time we had a chicken quesadilla and the tacos verdes which are taquitos with their delicious green sauce. The cucumber jalapeno margarita is probably my favorite drink there-especially with the tajin rim. Service is always great here and I was happy to see how busy the restaurant has gotten. This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in town and definitely worth a visit! read more

Dahlia's Mexican Grill is just excellent. The over the top friendly staff makes you feel welcome. Delicious authentic Mexican food and a spotlessly welcoming ambiance. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Reno. Parking is easy & their prices are moderate. This is a highly recommended locally owned eatery anxious to earn your business. read more

Extremely late post 5/2026 First time here - service fast and friendly; I believe his name was Marcos (started with M) was pleasant throughout dinner. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks.

* Dahlia's has our Hearts! * This review is long overdue! Dahlia's has quickly become an absolute staple for me and my extended family. Breakfast, lunch or dinner - they have never let us down. They have a massive menu so there's something for every single craving. Nestled in Northwest Reno, we gladly make that trek every single time. The Vibes: Tucked in a great little shopping center with plenty of parking. The inside is beautifully decorated with stunning murals and gorgeous artisanal items. The Superstars (Shoutout to Carlos!): The staff is the heartbeat of this place. Always warm and welcoming. We came in on a super busy Sunday afternoon and were lucky enough to be served by Carlos. He's taken care of us multiple times now and always goes above and beyond with the best customer service. The Food: They start you off with a complimentary mini sope to get your taste buds excited. For the main event, my Dad and I ordered the "Dinner for Two" La Parrillada. As you can see in the photo, the portion is massive - honestly enough for 3 to 4 people! The meat and shrimp were incredibly tender and well-seasoned, the rice flawless, and the green and red salsas perfection. Not very spicy, but you can request a spicier one as well. It also comes with your choice of freshly made corn or flour tortillas. The Sweet Finale: We ended our meal with a complimentary slice of their tres leches cake. Absolute heaven! Dahlia's has definitely captured our hearts (and stomachs). It hits the spot every single time. read more

Celebrated Cinco de Mayo at Dahlia's and I can easily say this is one of the very best Mexican restaurants in Reno. First I'll say that while the place was massively busy, the staff and service was absolutely outstanding, hardworking, and kind. The decorations were festive and the live music was stellar. The chips and salsa came and they were both absolutely made in-house, the chips were perfectly fresh and crispy and the salsa was the perfect balance of savory with just a perfect touch of spice. I had an alpastor burrito and we ordered some chicken and carne asada tacos with beans and rice; all of it was amazing, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and absolutely delicious, the portions were very generous and the value from the menu was terrific. I also had one of their homemade lemonades and that was perfectly sweet and refreshing. This place has good reason to be busy and we are definitely going to be back soon! read more

This place came highly recommended, and I was hungry--so of course, "let's go!" It was busy, with beautiful murals covering the walls. The staff was warm and welcoming, we were seated right away, and an appetizer hit the table almost immediately. The food was fresh and came out pretty quickly (I was ready ). Now tell me - Why did I come all the way to Reno, NV and suddenly crave fish tacos? ‍ I couldn't tell you. They looked great and were cooked perfectly... but the flavor just didn't show up. Now the guac? Absolutely worth the trip alone. I'd come back for that - and give the rest of the menu another shot. Until Mex-time... . . . Dahlias Mexican Grill Reno, NV / read more

10 out of 10 Finally a Mexican restaurant that is delicious!!! Great service, our waitress was so friendly and attentive. Never had to ask for napkins or refills, she was on it. Food came out hot hot hot... I appreciate that.. the flavors of our food are traditional and authentic. My cafe de olla gave me flashbacks to my parents house back in Mexico. That definitely was the best part of this dining experience... warmed my heart having coffee that made me feel closer to my parents just for that short moment. The restaurant is on the smaller side but it's clean. The restrooms are clean. You can see directly into the kitchen and the cooks cooking your Food. So you know exactly how your Food is being prepared. I will definitely be back the next time. We are in Reno. read more

This was our first time at Dahlia's Mexican Grill. The location is easy to get to and feels like a neighborhood spot that locals clearly know about, which made it a place we wanted to try. The ambiance is casual and comfortable, with a relaxed atmosphere that works well whether you are stopping in for a quick meal or sitting down to take your time. The service was friendly and welcoming, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time without feeling rushed. We ordered the Rancheros Tacos and the Tacos de Birria. The Rancheros Tacos had good flavor with well seasoned meat and fresh toppings that worked nicely together. The Tacos de Birria were the highlight, with tender meat and a rich flavor that stood out, especially when dipped in the consomme. The portions were large and the food tasted fresh and satisfying. Overall it was a good experience and we would come back. read more

We really tried to give them two chances. The first was on Father's Day. No fault of theirs that the line to get in was huge. But they made no attempt to organize it and just ignored everyone. The final straw was when they let their friends from the back of the line take a table outside and cut the rest of us off that were waiting for a table. We tried to go back again this week and the place was a thousand degrees and I swear they forgot to put alcohol in our margaritas. It was so hot and the drinks were so sweet we quickly paid the bill and left. Positives were the food tasted good and the staff was very nice this visit. read more

I ordered the combo of 2 Al Pastor Tacos and 2 Shrimp Tacos. I was a big fan of the shrimp tacos so I think anything you order there with shrimp will be good. Their Al pastor tacos were good but not my style, I don't think I would order again. The Spanish rice was some of the best I have had, but the refried beans were just okay (again for my preference). The service was top notch and super friendly and I like the dia de los muertos type artwork on the walls inside. I definitely will go back would like to try more dishes. read more

I decided to check out this restaurant after seeing it recommended on TikTok, and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere was amazing, and I loved the unique presentation of the food, drinks, and tableware. There were so many great options on the menu that it was hard to choose. Our server was friendly and attentive, and our food came out quickly but while we waited, they surprised us with complimentary appetizers, which were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you receive. To top it all off, they even treated us to a complimentary slice of cake for dessert after our meal. It was a wonderful dining experience, and this place will definitely be at the top of our list when we return to Reno! read more

I rate Dahlias and solid 3.5 stars but they don't allow half stars. There is plenty of parking and the ambiance is nice. I'm not sure how long this place has been open but it seems to be on the newer side as opposed to a hole-in-the wall. I will say they could use better ventilation. As soon as you enter you get that wave of grill smoke and grease smell because they run an open kitchen. I got the fish taco combo and it was pretty good as fish tacos go. The high points were that the fish was grilled and the proportions were generous. Things that could improve include the amount of cabbage should be reduced and the tortilla was a bit thick. There was so much cabbage that it was drowning out the delicate taste of the fish. Overall the taco lacked a bit of flavor. It really needed some chipotle baja sauce or some crema based accent. It came with rice and beans that were pretty standard. I gave a demerit for not having complimentary chips but erased that when i got a complimentary slice of cake at the end. The cost was pretty standard for a combo dish like this. Overall i will return to try some other entrees with hopes that other priteins will have a bit more zip. read more

Came out Dahlia on a busy Sunday evening, place it self is small but they got us in within 15 minutes. Service was good. I got the duo fajitas that came on a sizzling platter, steak and chicken. One of the better fajitas I've had in a long time. The rice as well was extremely flavorful. My mom got the cheese enchilada and they were good as well. Overall, had a pleasant experience and will be back again to try some more dishes. read more

Back again to try more things from the menu! This time I got a combo plate because I couldn't decide what I wanted! As always, staff is friendly, food is served hot and fresh, and great flavors. read more

Always been a Mexican restaurant but recently underwent a revitalization under new ownership, bringing a fresh look to the interior and some updates to the menu. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. The two female servers were incredibly welcoming and attentive; however, the experience was slightly dampened by another male staff member who seemed indifferent to the guests, dropping off plates without a single word. The atmosphere itself is a highlight--the open-kitchen concept allows you to watch the chef's cook firsthand, and the aroma filling the dining room is absolutely great and get dishes hot as they come out. While my Chicken Fajitas were excellent, my wife's experience was disappointing. She ordered the Tex-Mex Chilaquiles (subbing carne for chicken), but the dish arrived without eggs which is a core component of the dish. Because service was sparse, she ended up sharing my meal while her dish sat untouched tended useless but ate the chicken that was on the side and the handful of chips with red/green sauce. When we finally flagged someone down, they offered to add eggs to the now-cold plate. We were in a rush and declined, asking for a discount instead. The staff then suggested packing it "to go" and adding the eggs then--which any fan of Chilaquiles knows would result in a soggy, unappetizing mess. Ultimately, after a long wait for the check, and asking multiple times they only deducted $3.00 from a $23.00 entree. While the food quality has potential, the service recovery was lacking. Pro tip: Inspect your plate the moment it hits the table and flag someone immediately if it's wrong or something is missing to avoid this issue. I may try it again to see if this improves or if its simply not worth the time. read more

This long-standing Mexican food location got a pretty great reboot when a new owner took over and provided some loving touchups to the menu I've come in here for a breakfast and lunch a few times and have been absolutely delighted with the Mexican food that landed on the table in front of me.

The service was good. Everyone was so nice. The layout of the tables did make it feel a little cramped. The dishes were beautiful to eat and drink from. The chilaquiles weren't as good as Carmelitas. The queso fundido definitely made my chilaquiles better. The pan dulce was such a cute and unique way to end our meal. We probably won't come back, but I do love the menu variety. read more

Dahlia's Mexican Grill was such a great experience for us from start to finish. The moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm energy and really made us feel at home. The vibe was relaxed, clean, and welcoming, which set the tone for a really good meal. We started with margaritas, which were refreshing and perfectly balanced. We also ordered the shrimp ceviche made to order, and it was honestly one of the highlights. The shrimp tasted fresh, the seasoning was spot on, and it came together so well that we kept talking about it after. For dinner, I went with the three crunchy tacos and tried three different meats. Each one had its own flavor, the shells were crispy, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. It felt like real, comforting food made with care. If you are in the Reno area, exit number 10 off McCarran will take you straight to Dahlia's. This place quickly became a go-to for our family, and it is absolutely worth stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. read more

Let me just say we came on Cinco de Mayo without reservations so we did it to ourselves, but even after waiting an hour in line I would still give this 5/5! The ambiance, the music, the service, and of course the food were all amazing. I ordered the Volcanes and they were some of the best I've ever had. Plus the free appetizer and dessert at the end were excellent. Can't wait to come back again on a non-holiday! read more

We were craving Mexican food and looking for a place near the Reno airport after a week at Donner Lake. They were slammed when we arrived and I was a little worried about timing, but they were super accommodating -- they brought everything as fast as possible and we closed out our bill immediately to help expedite getting out the door. The complimentary appetizer was simple and amazing -- I had a taco/enchilada combo and each of my kids ordered burritos and horchatas. The burritos were the size of newborn babies -- so much food and so good! You have to have a serious appetite to finish one of those! Salsas were perfect complement to everything. We would definitely make a stop here again next time we're in Reno. read more

We had a great dinner experience at Dahlia's. It was very busy on a Saturday evening and that is a good sign. As others have indicated they brought some corn cakes and salsa to our table immediately. I started with the Dahlias margarita. They look expensive but they are huge...think double sized. Tasty but super sweet. I probably would go classic next time! I went with Chile Verde and my wife ordered the tostada combo with shrimp. The portions are large and well flavored. Even the rice and beans served on the side carried a lot of character rather than the usual filler nature of those sides. We both were members of the clean plate club. The servers are all fantastic, working as a team to make sure everyone is getting what they need, They were friendly and efficient, especially important on a busy Saturday. There was a complimentary small taste of tres leches cake with the bill folio. It was about all I could stuff in. read more

I will never eat im any other Mexican restaurant in Reno. Instead of chips and salsa we were given this amazing appetizer, like a Mexican bruschetta is how I would describe it. There were six of us and I didn't get pictures of everyone's food. Two of us had the shrimp taco combo. My brother had the shrimp taco presidente. Fortunately for me he couldn't eat it all and is on the road so I got his leftovers as well as one of my tacos. By the way, those tacos are loaded with shrimp. Everyone at the table was super happy with the food. Service was excellent! Definitely recommend! read more

We came here on Christmas Eve for lunch . Our friend had suggested that we try it out b/c they had lunch there a couple of weeks ago & how wonderful the food & service was. We were greeted a by a young lady who was warm & welcoming , she sat us immediately it wasn't busy at the time . The interior had some wonderful drawings/ art on the walls & very colorful. The whole vibe in this restaurant was authentic, warm, welcoming . The young lady who greeted was our server she was very friendly & efficient. I believe her name is Genesis , she brought us some waters while we were deciding what margaritas to get. The bartender delivered the margaritas & she was very friendly too . I didn't get her name , everyone who works here are friendly & full of smiles . She brought us these small masa cakes topped w/ cojita cheese & a green & red sauce both very tasty. It was a nice complimentary dish that was different from your standard chips & salsa which we actually ordered chips & queso which was creamy smooth & tinge of heat from the Chiles it was a very good queso ! Can we have the recipe ? We all had different margaritas we tried the Cadillac, Watermelon & Dahlia's the favorite was the Cadillac they all tasted good but the Cadillac was the BEST . My husband & I shared the Bistec Ranchero & my friend had the Tacos Verde, Bistec was very tender & the sauce was delicious , the tacos verde you could have easily split & they were crispy yummy goodness . My husband & I split and it was more than enough to share & then some ! I made sure that I saved room for dessert , we ended up ordering the Churros which were crunchy , fresh & delightful! Then we were finishing up & we got to try complimentary slices of tres leches cake . It was so light & I didn't have room but the 1-2 bites I took it was delicious then I needed to be wheeled out in a wheel barrow. LOL We will definitely be back b/c it has now replaced the one we use to go when we're in town visiting . This restaurant is so Welcoming & Friendly , you just want to keep coming back . I actually wanted to go back the next day . The food & service is amazing so give it a try !!! Muy Delicioso!!! read more
