    Daily specials look great!
    Troy P.

    Saw their pic online of chile relleno and had to come in. Great menu, service and atmosphere. Feels homey family friendly and a great place for a beer at the same time. Great bar and karaoke on Mondays. Lots of great lunch specials. I ordered the fiesta platter appetizer and it was huge and filled with may wonderful options. We also tried the enchilada lunch special. Both excellent. We'll be back for the live music and that relleno soon!

    Chicken fried steak
    Jeffri D.

    We went here in Friday night. The food was ah-mazing! The service was a little slow but the staff is SO nice. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The chicken enchilada was so good I couldn't stop eating it. It was SO MUCH food (for me anyway). I tried the chicken fried steak and it was excellent as well. We will for sure be back. Check this place out!!!

    Service was good. Margaritas were good. And the food was amazing. Came out quickly and the sopapillas were hot and fresh.

    We used to love this place and visited often. On my birthday, the visit itself and food was fine and I left a 10% tip. Three days later, my bank flagged a suspicious charge- our server had changed the tip to 272%. Completely unacceptable. When I called, I was told I had to come in person for a refund, which cost me 40 minutes of my day. While the manager was polite, she defended the server despite the receipt clearly being scribbled out and altered. This was a very disappointing and frustrating experience. This is a sketchy place and I would NOT recommend.

    The Paloma.

    Great food! Great service! Ordered a Paloma which arrived promptly and tasted great. The chips came with a flavorful and smooth, yet warm salsa. Highly recommend the enchiladas with ground beef, can't go wrong at all. I'm on tour with my band Crashing Wayward and we have a night off and we were all craving some really good Tex Mex, which we definitely found here at El Noa Noa. So glad we stopped in!

    Great service and the food was really good. Everything was fresh and good portions. I really like that they don't skimp on the nacho toppings!

    #11 Carne Asada Steak with Cheese Enchilada
    Colby C.

    This place is an absolute hidden gem here in DFW. As a Houston native, this place stacks up with any of the best old-school TexMex places in Houston. I had the carne asada steak with a cheese enchilada and I cleaned my plate! Everything had so much flavor and took me back to my childhood of eating TexMex. My server was a sweetheart and made me feel very welcome! I would recommend this place to anybody.

    This is no way a 5 star restaurant! The margaritas were awful and the queso was watery. The waitress was great, though.

    Just WOW! My search for the best Tex-Mex is over because…read morethis is the spot. I was greeted and sat immediately on entering and even at 12:30 with the place packed it was spotless. They brought a large basket of perfectly crispy, warm chips with salsa and took my order. I got the #15 lunch special which is your choice of two enchiladas (I got sour cream chicken), rice and beans. The food was served quickly and at the perfect temperature. My enchiladas were bursting with chicken and the sour cream sauce was the perfect compliment. The rice was excellent as well. Even the iced tea is great, and featured a legit lemon slice. They have a full bar which I'll be trying on my next visit and two large TVs set where you can see one or both from any seat in the dining room. I told my server she's going to get sick of seeing me because I'll be here at least twice a week! Service was excellent by the way. My tea was even refilled without having to ask. It was a 10 star meal!

    Came here because of the high star rating! We were really excited since the place was packed…read more It feels alittle disorganized. We entered and no one says anything, lady came in after us waiting, shoving us to see if there is a list for waiting... like girl were the only two people in line. We got sat and the workers are very friendly, no problem there. Chips were good and came out crisp. I ordered the two taco plate. Taco shell was very stale, was very sad. The ground beef wasn't that good, chicken taco was better (surprisingly). Rice and beans were decent. Overall, didn't hate it here, but also not that great. There was a lot of people here and a lot of people waiting to be seated as well.

    The first time we went to La Sombra Cantina we thought we were going back to Pineda's. We were…read moresurprised at the change and hoped it was at least as good as Pineda's. We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

We have been to some nicer hole-in-the-wall restaurants, that we liked better, and felt more at home. The conference room chairs are uncomfortable, along with the flat decor with loud colors. For the food, all we can say is Meh...and the drinks are weak. There are so many better mexican restaurants to dine with, in this City.

    The service here is ALWAYS on point! Crazy the amt of times we've been here and I haven't done a…read morereview! It's hard to get reservations same day, so it's best that you do it at least a day ahead and they get booked up quick! This trip we got all different entrees, everything is great here! But I will say that you HAVE to get the table side guac service! They put BACON in it and always bring a couple bucks to give to the nice attendant for preparing your fresh guac Some of my other favorites are the sopes, the carne asada and tacos are never a miss. I will say this time around we were disappointed with the shrimp tacos, it was 4 tiny tacos with 1 shrimp per taco :-/ so maybe try it if you don't have the same appetite of a 15yo growing teenage boy lol Restaurant of course is very nice and always clean. Parking gets tricky, but there's valet if you're not the walking type ;) Ps. Drinks are phenomenal. Their prickly pear Margs is an absolute go-to!

    Extremely disappointing experience at Mia Dia in Plano. Our group was diverse, and the overall…read moreservice and handling of our table were unacceptable. The vegetarian options were also very limited, with only about three dishes on the entire menu. My vegetarian enchiladas were served incorrectly twice, first with meat sauce, then with an entirely wrong preparation. It took three attempts and manager involvement to correct a basic order. By that point, I had lost my appetite. Service throughout the meal was poor. We had to request water three separate times, which reflects a lack of attentiveness. The most concerning issue was being charged $1.50 for pico de gallo that was provided while correcting their own mistake, despite being told it would be taken care of. This reflects a clear lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer care. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant.
