    Tapatios
    Katie J.

    When my husband and I were dating 20 years ago, we frequented the Stockyards and loved a taco truck at 2 am with amazing tapatios. This place has a better version and I don't have to wait until the middle of the night! So good with cabbage and a creamy sauce. The brisket inside is so good! We also ordered the queso blanco with brisket and it has a fantastic flavor. Rounding out our dinner we ordered the empanadas and they were very nice! I cannot wait to go back and have the chicken poblano enchiladas! I bet I never go without ordering those tapatios! Service was great too. It's a hole in the wall, and so don't miss it!!

    Chicken taco plate
    Joyce C.

    We were going to the mall in Irving and decided to try a very good rated Yelp find. My husband had the chicken tacos. The tortillas were homemade and seemed very authentic. The empanadas were so good we would go back just for them! And two huge empanadas. A generous portion of brisket and cheese. So good. The chips and salsa was very good as well. Over all a very good lunch. Now I will say the service was great. Ambiance was a bit on the old side and the floor looked it. But for a hole in the wall Mexican place we were not deterred

    Fajitas
    Shafia A.

    This is a very small restaurant with limited seating, but that's probably why the food is so outstanding. It's not Tex-Mex, it's full-on authentic Mexican, and we loved every bit of it. The server was incredibly attentive, helping us with our selections and checking in often. Every dish was bursting with flavor, even the chips and salsa were amazing! The salsa was especially delicious. We tried the chicken with mole, which you don't find everywhere, and it was fantastic. The tablitas were not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. This is definitely a hidden gem that everyone should try. We'll absolutely be coming back again and again!

    Mango Salad
    Flaquita M.

    I hate leaving less than stellar reviews because I love to boost small businesses. Read many good things about this place. We were looking for basic, authentic and homemade Mexican food. I think we may have just chosen the wrong dish. The service was excellent and friendly. We chose the mango salad which was very good. The fajita chicken in it was really good. The pollo mole was ok, in that the chicken fell off the bone. But there was a flavor in the mole sauce I couldn't quite place, that we didn't care for. It was served with beans,, rice and homemade flour tortillas, which were all good. That's why I'm thinking we just didn't order the right dish. All things being equal I don't think I would eat here again. The food was filling but not great.

    Carne Asada plate abit pricey but well worth it!

    Service was terrible. Staff was rude. It smelled like sewer inside. The food was cold and lacked seasoning. Honestly not a fan. I'm super surprised it has good reviews. Floor was dirty and sticky. Bathroom was grotesque. Please beware if you come eat here!!

    Pollo en Mole
    Coey J.

    The best hidden gem! It's a small restaurant but serves amazing food! Staff is very friendly and helpful. I feel every item on this menu is delicious. I love mole so naturally had to go with that. It's not fancy but the food is made with love! Enjoy!

    The enchiladas with green sauce were OK, remember pork and beans be careful if you don't eat pork. My favorite was the empanadas. I use chicken instead of beef and oh my goodness they were so good. So delicious. I liked it better than the main course. Very friendly service as well.

    Tacos Al Carbon
    Debbie O.

    Delicious food in an intimate space. The first time i visited the restaurant, i was surprised when i walked in because it felt as if i was entering a ma and pa space leaving the big chains surrounding it outside (literally). The service was excellent as the staff welcomed us, walked us through the menu and took our order. The food is delicious. I have gone 4 times now and every time, i get the tacos al carbon. It hasn't failed me yet. Some friends that have joined me have loved the enchiladas. They have desserts too btw, so ask. Overall, i will keep returning because it is good food.

    Caldo set up
    Priscilla A.

    We searched out this restaurant to try something new. The seating is very limited. There are a mix of 10 chairs and booths. The service was quick and friendly. Now to the food. We had an appetizer, some enchiladas and caldo. No beer or wine. The picosa enchiladas were very spicy to a point where they are not enjoyable. The beef enchiladas were good. The caldo was tasty. The appetizer was "ok". The only issue we had was the pricing for the amount of food received. We had 5 folks and our total was $120. The plates were small, so the pics look like normal, but the plates played a huge part in the "look" of making the plates look full. They did have lunch specials which may have reduced the cost, but not sure we will be back.

    Everything was amazing! I'm Mexican (family from Zacatecas) and we get nervous trying new Mexican food spots in Texas because usually it's Tex Mex but this place made us feel at home The waitress and food 10/10. I got the enchiladas picosas (cheese only), warning they have a good hit! My parents got the pollo poblano and camarones al mojo de ajo! Definitely recommend

    Mole Enchiladas En Mole

    I came here after being stranded at DFW overnight based on the reviews showing mole enchiladas on the menu. The place is tiny and I could have missed it easily. But the chips and salsa were great and the mole enchiladas were perfect. The waiter noticed using the chips to scrape up the last of the sauce on my plate so he brought me a little container of it. Nice touch!

    Have I found my favorite Mexican restaurant in Irving? Maybe. Have I found the best home-made (corn & flour) tortillas? - Most definitely!! A little place at the end of a strip mall on MacArthur, it actually looked closed when we arrived with all the shades drawn. (Hot tip... they let you discretely bring in beers from the liquor store directly next door. I had seen the great Yelp reviews and knew it had only been open a few months. It is a pretty small dining room with maybe 10 tables, but cutely decorated on a budget. Our server was very connected to the restaurant and making sure service was efficient. They set you up with a basket of what I believe are house made tortilla chips and 2 salsas. The green one is fantastic. We ordered the tabilitas (short ribs cut Korean style, served in a sizzling pot of juicy, salty magic sauce.) We cut the meat off the bones and placed it in the (house made!) tortillas and then dipped that into the sizzling sauce. When we ordered our served asked "corn or flour tortillas?" I could not decide so he gave us both, I normally am a flour tortilla gal, but these corn tortillas were very light and nearly indistinguishable from the flour one. SOOOO good. Our other entree was the chicken poblano. It was a pounded and tender, grilled chicken breast, topped with plenty of cheese and bright green poblano sauce. WOW, just really a unique but seemingly authentic mexican dish. I know it wasn't light, but the freshness almost made it seem healthy. It wasn't overly greasy. Each entree came with some beans and rice. The beans were nice and brothy with chunks of onion and peppers. I cannot wait to go back, and will bring my San Francisco friends to this literally "hidden gem" family restaurant in Irving.
