    Beef fajita covered in spicy queso
    John J.

    Thursday night with friends. Service was excellent as usual. Delicious chips, salsa, avocado sauce, bean dip and guacamole to begin. Taco Salad, cheese enchiladas, chicken enchiladas, and poblano pepper stuffed with chicken (with spicy queso topping) all received rave reviews.

    Brought some family from out of town here and it did not disappoint. We were sat quickly, given time to look over the menu and when the food came everything looked and tasted delicious! It was clean and service was great.

    Lunch portion combo  fajitas
    Mary C.

    We did the lunch specials.Flavor is good and portions for the price you pay is very good. The combination fajita , beef & chicken was pretty good. The brisket taco was also good but the salad that came with it was lacking flavor. Service was friendly.

    We were in the area running errands and craving fajitas, and this was the closest Tex-Mex spot. The place looks great with fun, welcoming vibes. The restaurant was clean, the servers were very kind, and it definitely felt family-owned. We ordered the fajitas for two, and the kids got kids' meals. Our appetizer platter was forgotten, but we were okay with it since we ended up full from our meals anyway. The kids enjoyed their food, and we liked ours as well, though we weren't especially impressed. Overall, it's a nice place to try out, and the hosts and staff were very friendly.

    3 sauces and a warm bean dip!

    Came to Dallas and found this little place! Chips are nice and 3 little dips! A warm black bean dip was delicious! My son ordered the ribeye fajita on the menu however they did not have them so he settled on the beef! They were pretty good! The flour tortillas were "store bought" the onions cooked down really nice! The chicken in the enchiladas was a little dry and the sauce was not very warm however they had a pretty good flavor! The servers kept our drinks full! Very cozy decorations! I recommend this place! Happy Eating Everyone!

    had a great experience at Gabriela and Sophia's Tex-Mex. The food was really good and had great flavor. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was welcoming and made it a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal. If you're looking for solid Tex-Mex, this is definitely a spot worth trying. I would come back again.

    Beef fajita chimi.  Good!
    Mike S.

    Very good Mexican food in a nice quiet atmosphere with very friendly service. We started with beef and cheese nachos which were a 10 out of 10. In fact my wife said she will get a full order for dinner next time. She got the beef enchiladas and I got the beef fajita Chimi. Both were good, but lacked a little bit of flavor. The salsa is quite good and that helped. They have a full bar and great margaritas.

    Quesadilla
    Debra M.

    Woof, I am zero for four in getting good Mexican food in Texas. Seriously, what the heck? MB and I went to this restaurant hoping for their famous margaritas and good Tex-Mex. She liked her quesadilla, but I liked none of my food, nor the margaritas. MB ordered spicy marg but it was not and I found them to be weak and sour. The guacamole "prepared table side" was not, it just arrived from the kitchen and was just okay. The chips were unsalted and too thick. The salsa and beans were also just okay. The tortilla soup and the bean soup both had a watery broth MB likened to dishwater. No me gusta. I think I'll quit seeking authentic Mexican food in Texas and just keep getting the good stuff here in Minnesota.

    Margarita
    John C.

    ....... READ THIS REVIEW ...... Very reasonable prices!!! That makes up for a few shortcomings - and the staff is awesome... even by my standards. While my review is always direct, I like this place. Great energy. But undecided as to coming back. Hummm. Chips = 6/10 On the thicker side as restaurant chips go, but I did ok with them. (I would not buy them in a store.) Salsa = 8/10 Well made, tasty and a gentle warming on the back end. Nice flavor but did not "wow me". Black Bean Dip = 3/10 Shocker... it's puréed as expected but was cold?!? I asked if was supposed to be cold. Evidently it was an error - and they immediately brought me a hot replacement - double portion!! AWESOME! That's the absolutely perfect way to fix a mistake - and a new 1st for me. (They earned many respect points from me on that move!) Well hummm, it's extremely bland. Nothing but bean flavor. Needs salt and some seasoning to make it wake up. But it's free so I can't complain... just sad. I had higher hopes when I saw it... and I've had much better. Frozen Strawberry Margarita = 6/10 - First impressions.. a bit on the small side. The flavor is enjoyable, but it's not handmade syrup. Very silky, creamy and light texture. I prefer a more dense texture (more icy). It's fresh and not melted... but the texture is as if you were drinking the last 1/4 of your margarita. Undecided on this point. Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada = - Moist chicken which is the #1 thing I grade on. Yes, it's moist! However, not a strong seasoning profile, more in the hard to find flavors side. I like the sour cream sauce. Not over powering and has the correct texture. 7/10 Beef Enchilada with Chili Con Carne Sauce = 3/10 - Ok, but a again definitely on the bland side. The sauce is just that - only a sauce... no meat included. Not all memorable. Table Side Handmade Guacamole 8.5/10 - Be sure to tell them you want it made "at the table", otherwise they make it in back. Very good. Extremely creamy with small chunks of avocado (I don't like big chunks - too much). I skipped the jalapeños, and it's definitely a repeat item for me. Beautiful flavor and enjoyable. Service = 10/10 Excellent in every way. 2-3 other waiters always check on me as they pass by. Obviously, the customer comes first here!!! Very attentive and fast service at 7:30pm. Environment = 7/10 Welcoming as you enter and hosted is quick to acknowledge you. Very nice original art on the wall - not stereotypical, enjoyable to look at. (Good move!) Lots of open space allowing you to have privacy but it's still has good energy with all the customer buzz. Over All: 3/5 Although this review is a bit direct (that's my style) I was happy I came by. The people here are so good hearted and you can tell they will move mountains to ensure you are happy!! That was a highlight for me. As for the food, maybe I ordered the wrong stuff... but everything was about 30% seasoned to what I expect Tex-Mex to be. Unfortunately, bland in general. Hard to get much flavor, too gentle and mild. But please note - I do not like "heat or overpowering seasoning to the point you can't identify what you are eating!" I do require more than a minimal seasoning approach. That's because I'm an old and native Texan from Big D.

    This place is a hidden gem. I was highly impressed with the food and ambiance. I'm looking forward to going back and letting all of my friends who are looking for authentic and homemade excellence to go here. Phenomenal food. Tastes like it was made with love and clean

    Table side guac
    Andrea R.

    When in Dallas you have to go for tex-mex. My husband's go to is Mi Cocina, which is a solid option, but I suggested we try something new this trip. And thanks to Yelp we found ourselves at Gabriela & Sofia's Tex-Mex. We ordered some guacamole, which they make tableside and it was sooo good. And then we ate our weight in chips and guac. I could have been done eating for the night after that, but my husband and I split some fajitas. They were nice enough to do half shrimp (for me) and half chicken (for my husband). I also ordered a skinny margaritas, which I should have ordered sans salt because it was way too salty for my liking and I couldn't have more than a few sips. Overall, some great tex-mex. I know there's so many good options in the area, but this is one worth trying!

    Chimichanga with Brisket
    Russell W.

    The food was very delicious! Very fresh ingredients, generous portions and amazing brisket. The chimichanga and quesadilla were both awesome. Really liked the beans and salsa served with chips before the meal. The ambiance was nice, the service was very fast and friendly.

E-bar might have just won the spot for the best TexMex chile relleno in my book (I was a die hard Chuy's fan before they quit selling them). The beans clearly have the pork grease (yum) and the rice was delicious. Even though the place was packed, we were told it'd be a 30ish minute wait, we were seated in less than 20 minutes. Our server came out quickly, brought us drinks, so attentive! We'll definitely return! What a fun little spot!

Each guest gets their own dipping bowl of chips and salsa. We shared an appetizer and two meals, and still had plenty of leftovers. I highly recommend the fajita nachos, which come loaded with toppings. Their drinks are also very strong, so plan accordingly! With all the fun and food, I accidentally left my wallet and did not realize until the next day. The staff held the wallet in their lost and found, made sure to ask verifying questions, and asked me to confirm if all my belongings were still in the wallet before leaving. For this exceptional service, food, and vibes, I highly recommend.

I remember when they were located further down Lemmon Avenue in a much smaller space. They've since moved uptown, and the new digs are beautiful and very inviting. After we were seated, our server, Ruben, greeted us with a warm smile. We were especially excited since we arrived just in time to catch their lunch specials--and there are plenty of great ones to choose from. We started with a couple of frozen margaritas and a cup of queso while browsing the menu. The margaritas were spot-on--not wimpy at all, with just the right kick. And the queso? Absolutely outstanding--some of the best we've had in a long time. The salsa was excellent as well. My wife chose the lunch-sized chicken quesadillas, while I went with the #7 lunch special, which included a cheese taco, a chicken enchilada, and a beef enchilada topped with chili con carne. Our meals arrived after a short wait, and everything exceeded expectations. My wife was thrilled with the portion size--it was just right--and she was all smiles after her first bite. The chicken fajita meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. My lunch special hit the spot and delivered exactly what I was craving. We had a fantastic experience at Mia's Tex-Mex. Ruben took excellent care of us throughout our visit, and we'll definitely be back again soon!

Service could not have been better. Portions are generous. I will come back here again when I am in the area.
