After leaving the community center in Grapevine, TX, I had a craving for some Mexican food. I had…read moreheard several people talking about Mi Dia From Scratch, so I decided it was finally time to see what all the buzz was about. I arrived during the lunch rush, and both the parking lot and the restaurant were packed. Even though they were extremely busy, we were immediately greeted by a courteous and polite young man who quickly escorted us to a booth. We were seated in Ms. Maria's section, and she was a wonderful server. She greeted us with a warm smile, brought us menus along with the lunch menu, chips and salsa, and promptly served our water. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and was friendly, attentive, and very courteous throughout our meal. The chips and salsa were very good. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa without cilantro for those who prefer it. We ordered the Create Your Own Combo Plate, which included a chicken flauta, a crispy taco, rice, and refried beans topped with cheese for $15.50. The taco was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, while the chicken flauta was covered in a flavorful red chile sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The rice and refried beans were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal well. We also ordered the chimichanga, smothered in cheese sauce and served with rice and refried beans, for $16.00. It was well seasoned, delicious, and satisfying. The flavors weren't overpowering--they were balanced and enjoyable, making it a dish I would gladly order again. This was my first visit to Mi Dia From Scratch, and I came away very impressed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant also offers a nice outdoor seating area. Between the excellent service and flavorful food, I will definitely be back. I hope you'll give it a try too!

Found this place on Instagram as a "hidden gem," but after seeing it had 5,000 reviews, I figured…read moreit had to be good. Well, I have never been more wrong. I grew up eating school lunch in a state ranked 47th in the U.S. for food quality and taste, and after eating here, I genuinely miss my school lunches. I would rather eat cafeteria food any day. This was literally the worst food experience I have ever had. I can almost guarantee the reviews are fake. Salsa: Literally packaged tomato paste. If you are going to serve packaged salsa, at least use store-bought instead of warmed-up tomato sauce. Chicken Enchiladas Verdes: Rated one of their most popular items, and it was disgusting. If that chicken were any drier, you could weave it into polyester. It was overcooked, packaged meat. Brisket Quesadillas: Absolutely revolting. I have no other comment to make, as I am currently trying not to throw up. As someone who has lived as an expat in 47 different countries and is an elite food reviewer officially recognized by multiple platforms, let me do you a favor and tell you to please avoid this place if you actually want to eat. If you are just here to drink and chill, go ahead--it's a good spot for that. Just don't touch the food. Service is great and very attentive just don't eat the food, come here for drinking

I grew up going to Los Amigos and this restaurant has a special place in my heart. The service and…read morefood never disappoints. The enchiladas and tamales are my favorite or literally anything from their breakfast menu. About 2 years ago, my family and I had an early flight to go to my grandfathers funeral. We showed up an hour before they were open and walked in as they were setting things up. In our defense, the door was unlocked... probably because the staff was just getting there LOL. We apologized for barging in and started to leave. The manager (I'm guessing) told us to stay and served us breakfast anyway. It was just us, eating our favorite breakfast, while dreading a rough week ahead. I don't think they know how much we needed that. I can't recommend this place enough. PS; PLEASE bring back the wake up juice smoothies you would serve during breakfast or send me the recipe. LOL I still have dreams about it!

I always look for Mexican restaurants when I go out of town and we saw this place. I was worried…read moresince it only had three stars but I still said lets try it out. The place is really big with plenty of seating. We sat down right away since it wasn't that busy. Our waitress came over right away to see if we wanted anything to drink. We ordered some waters along with a couple drinks. We received our waters and chips and salsa right away. The chips were fresh and the salsa was very flavorful and tasty, delicious. For our entrees we ordered the fish tacos and the ground beef enchiladas. Our entrees came out pretty quick which was nice. The dishes were pretty big. The meat inside the enchiladas were good, the sauce was great, and the beans and rice were very good as well. The fish tacos were cooked perfect and the fish was flaky and had good flavor to them. Of course we couldn't eat it all it was so much so no dessert. Our waiter was really good. Definitely, would come back to this place. Love the atmosphere inside the place.

The service was okay but not as good as usual. After we said two of us were pleased with the temp of the soup, they didn't offer anything more. In the past if we ever had any issue, the manager has come over to talk with us. We weren't looking for any refund, just wanted them to know the food wasn't as good as we are used to. Additionally, refills were slow, and the fajitas came out in multiple steps, first the meat, then a little while later, the accompaniments and then a few minutes later, the tortillas. Just not a great dinner experience this time overall.

We went here for lunch after staying at the Gaylord Texan Resort and opting not to have lunch at…read moretheir Mexican restaurant. Mesa's is just a few minutes drive from Gaylord so it is super convenient. The ambience is pleasant and open and in general it was fine. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seats and parking outside. I did not get a "homey" feel but that may be just me. Our server was attentive and efficient. No problems or complaints. The free chips and salsa were good but not outstanding. The salsa was warm and obviously homemade, but it lacked kick. It was tasty but not "OMG this is good." I started with a cup of Roberto's queso which is the standard queso cheese with some ground beef, pico, and a tablespoon of guacamole. It too was good but not outstanding. I am not sure what it was missing but there was something that was needed. I had the two beef tacos and they were just average. Not much flavor or anything distinctive. The ground beef was not well seasoned so they were kind of bland. The rice and black beans were also kind of bland. Frankly, my tacos at home are better. The wife had the taco salad and liked it, although it did not come with any dressing. She used the salsa. Not sure if that was an oversight or that is the way the salad is served. She was also happy that they serve Negro Modelo on tap, so she was happy. The kid had nachos with black beans and cheese and did not complain. Overall, the meal was fine, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out as a compelling reason to return.

Showing up on a Saturday evening to a nearly empty restaurant is kind of a double edged sword. On…read moreone hand, it's nice to have the dining room and server pretty much all to yourselves, but at the same time the lack of patrons certainly arouses suspicion. Such was the case recently when we paid a visit to Mesa. The first order of business was getting an appetizer to go with the chips and salsa. Upon the server's recommendation we got the queso Blanco. It was quite possibly the blandest queso I have ever eaten. At this point I started to worry that it was a sign of things to come. However, the extra spicy salsa that we also requested to go with the chips was more flavorful and gave me hope for the entrees. The good news is that my chicken and cheese enchiladas turned out to be better than the insipid appetizer. The not so good news is that it was still a mediocre meal. The rest of my family had mixed feelings about their food. My husband, who got 2 beef enchiladas, said his were overly salty but otherwise average. The bacon wrapped shrimp that my mother got were a little overcooked but she liked the sides. Both of my sons' entrees, the Mesa burrito and the chicken strips, were very well received. People like to say that even when pizza is bad it's still good. For me, that also applies to Tex-Mex. But, considering the plethora options out there, I doubt I will be returning anytime soon.

I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

For our main dishes, we had The Grilled Baja Fresh Tacos and Guiso Mexicano. Both were excellent. The ambiance is very casual with a beach vibe to it. There is also plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.

Since there's a Tex Mex restaurant on pretty much every street corner here, it's not an easy feat…read moreto stand out from the crowd. Yet, for the longest time, Baja Mex Grill did just that by serving the strongest margaritas in town. In fact, I had always heard that there was a limit of 2 per person. Although it may have only been a rumor, it was a good policy nonetheless (I speak from experience!) Even if margaritas weren't your thing, the food still held it's own. Basically, you couldn't go wrong with a visit here no matter your preferences. I don't know exactly when or how many times the ownership changed over the years, but apart from the name, nothing about this place is the same today. It was immediately evident upon being served chips and queso that both seemed like they came straight from a package. The extra hot salsa we requested turned out to be a creamy, green concoction that had a jalapeno-y flavor, but somehow still wasn't spicy. I will give them credit, however, for a very tasty regular salsa that appeared to be made in house. For my entree I ordered the Picante Enchiladas. Contrary to what the name implies there was no detectable heat. Furthermore, the grilled chicken on top had the distinct flavor of a frozen version made by Kroger. Once again, that prepackaged element reared it's ugly head. My husband and sons were mostly underwhelmed by their meals as well. The phrase "I've had better" was echoed around the table. And, they aren't normally a picky bunch! Our server brought everything out quickly, checked on us often, and kept our drinks topped up throughout our meal. So kudos to him! I have said this before, but it bears repeating. The Tex Mex arena is far too competitive for mediocre food like they serve here. It's a shame that a place I once considered to be 4-5 star establishment barely earns 3 stars now.

My only complaint with the meal was the beans--they were salty as hell. Definitely way too much salt for me. As far as the service, I picked my order up from the bar. The staff member who helped me wasn't rude by any means, but she wasn't very inviting either. She printed out my ticket, handed everything over, and basically burned off without saying anything else. I just found it interesting because, as a paying customer, even a simple "thank you" or "have a good night" goes a long way. With that being said, I'm not judging the whole place off one to-go experience. The food was good besides the salty beans, so I'm giving them the rating I gave them based on this visit. I'll probably come back again and dine in next time. Maybe the experience will be completely different.
