    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!!!

    Fresh sopapillas

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

    proof

    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.
    Carl R.

    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!

    Full order of bean and cheese nachos

    #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.

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!

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.

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.
