    Tacos, burritos, sodas.
    Brittney L.

    Great food- good portions. Amazing staff and customer service. They have been around for a while- and I know why!

    Unassuming restaurant with utterly fantastic food. The service was fast & friendly, and all the tacos were incredible. We got carnitas, al pastor, chorizo, and tripa--most but not all of the pork options. Each was amazing in its own right. I wish I could eat here everyday. And such a bargain! Loads of food for two people for under $20.

    "Carne asada" in front, "al pastor" in back
    Kyle S.

    Solid 4+ stars. Flavors are spot on. Vibe is everything you want from a true hole-in-the-wall working man's taquería. No pineapple with the al pastor and the carne asada is semi-shredded/pulled beef rather than steak (see pic). But great stuff, and very good roja and verde in the fridge that you can help yourself to. $9.49 for 4 tacos, rice, and beans = solid meal at a great price.

    Authentic loved the carne asada corn taco. Good portion, savory and filling. This is a hole in the wall but worth it .

    In my search for authentic Mexican food, I found this little hidden gem and this place is it! I ordered pozole, menudo and rice. Most places serve pozole and/or menudo on the weekends only so this place is a godsend! The guy who helped me over the phone for take-out and in person was fantastic! I can't wait to try more when I'm back in town!

    Los tacos están bien ricos Excelente servicio, ellos estaban atentosEl ambiente esta tranquilo. Lo recomiendo!

    Tacos

    DELICIOUS, los tacos estaban MUY ricos y la gente muy amable. The tacos were REALLY delicious and the servers were so nice. 10/10 would recommend. It was a calm spot and we were able to enjoy our food!

    Torta de milanesa
    Brenda A.

    4 stars?!? No way! First off, we are picky... BUT Seriously great, authentic Mexican food. We had tacos (carnitas, barbacoa, and chicarrón en salsa), and a torta de milanesa. Everything was so fresh, authentic flavors. We now wish that we lived closer. Don't miss out on this little spot!

    Carnitas chicken and chorizo/egg tacos. And huevos divorciados
    Iris S.

    Most amazing breakfast. This is a family run establishment where many locals come to eat. In fact, you hear much more Spanish than English while you're eating. My fiancé and I were here for a wedding and after reading the reviews, we knew we had to come for ourselves! We got an assortment of tacos. My favorite was the el pastor. We also got their diablo huevos which was amazing. I especially loved the chilaquiles on the side. Definitely was satisfied to the last bite and sad that we were too stuffed to explore more of the menu.

    Best thing everrrrrrr

    A week later and I am still thinking about the delicious food and fantastic service! We didn't wait…read moresuper long for a table and the hosts were great. We took my dad to dinner and he complained that it was a little loud, but felt like we sat right under a speaker. I explained to him that it was part of the "vibe". Other than the volume making it difficult to hear, everything was fantastic. We probably could have asked to sit on the heated patio. The chips were warm and fresh and came with both red and green salsa, and both were super tasty. My husband asked if I could make salsa like that at home! We ordered drinks and they came quickly. I appreciated the quality of the drinks especially since we mostly ordered from their drink menu. We ordered "The Good Guac" to start and our server made sure that it wasn't too spicy or anything for my dad. I thought that was very thoughtful that she asked if how it came was ok. For food we ordered street tacos, Baja fish tacos and the parillada en fuego. The food runner seemed confused and brought us another dish (maybe the Verde molcajete) but with the loud music the message that we didn't order it was lost in translation. My husband thought maybe it was what he ordered and started in. Because our server came to check on us so quickly, she caught the mistake right away. She apologized profusely and said they were bringing what we ordered. They allowed us to keep the dish, and no sooner did we have a few bites of the deliciousness the correct food came out. They checked on us quickly, apologized profusely, brought the correct food immediately, let us keep the other food, sent another manager to apologize and finally followed up with coupons to return after making sure we were satisfied with how they handled it. I understand humans make mistakes, so I feel like the recovery or response is what is important. This is the type of amazing service that will keep us coming back. We were actually happy with the mistake as we were able to try another dish we likely wouldn't have ordered (but ended up being our favorite thing to eat). The ambiance was fun, parking was easy, the wait was reasonable, the service was FANTASTIC, the food was delicious and food/drinks were made with quality ingredients. We'll be back!

    Went for lunch on Father's Day. ordered the sampler plate first. They ask if wanted everything on…read moreit, asked to sub beef for chicken flautas and then ordered crispy taco plate. Food came out quickly. The server disappeared for 20 minutes beverages empty. Tacos were TINY, with too much salt. Borracho beans, perfect. Empanadas on the sampler, were amazing, consommé underwhelming. Server dropped off beverages and disappeared for 20 more minutes, dropped off the check, left again for 20 minutes. Charged extra for beef, without telling us, came back and said all subs are extra, here is your card It was a busy and VERY noisy day. even at 2pm we had to shout to talk. We like the area, but We will go to Glorias across the street next time. Vidorra is Not a good value. $$$$

    We had always passed by this restaurant when heading to visit family, or get grocery shopping done…read morein Rowlett, and had always made a mental note to come check it out. Finally remembered to try them when my toddler and I were craving mexican food, and it was so good! I go the brisket grilled cheese sandwich that came with consomme- it was packed full with brisket, and so delicious. My daughter got a chicken quesadilla (tried and true, haha) and she liked it as well. We picked up, and they were so sweet and helpful when we went in. Definitely will be coming in to eat here again!

    Prices on the menu don't match what they charged. Brought it up a manager who didn't offer to…read morediscount it to what we agreed to on the menu. Instead told us the online menu shows the new prices. But that's irrelevant since we agreed on menu prices when we ordered. For these prices, I would've expected better service. It took almost 35-40 minutes to get our first dish. Then another 20 minutes for the 2nd dish since they forgot it. Made it up by giving us free dessert which is fine. Birria tacos were okay, nothing special. Birria Ramen was better. One of the waiters didn't seem to know what belongs to what. Had to keep asking for help. Almost gave us the wrong item twice. Seemed a bit disorganized. Ambiance was okay. Felt like any typical Mexican restaurant. Nothing memorable.

    So I came to a party catered by Adios Fajitas and it was absolutely FANTASTIC!! First of all, the…read morestaff was so kind, and super attentive at the buffet. Second - the food?!?! BLEW ME AWAY!! You can tell they use the highest quality ingredients and everything was absolutely TOP TIER. The tortillas were so fresh and delicious. The creamy jalapeno sauce, guacamole, salsa, and queso were all PHENOMENAL as well. This was the perfect selection of dips for the thin, crispy, perfectly salted, chips! All of the proteins I tried (fajita steak and fajita chicken) were SO tender, well seasoned, and the ancho chili butter really set it all off!! I think my favorite snacks of the night were the empanadas and the beef picadillo tacos. The empanada crust was so flaky and buttery and the picadillo filling was so savory and absolutely PACKED with flavor! This is hands down the best Tex-Mex I've had in a LONG time! They need to bring a location to Frisco ASAP!! In the meantime, I'll just be counting down the days until I have an event that I can hire them to cater for. If you're blessed enough to live by their brick and mortar, or need Tex-mex catering, check them out, and enjoyyyy!!

    We gave adios fajitas a shot after I saw people compare it to Pappasitos, which is my favorite! We…read moreordered the Medium combo fajitas that's supposed to feed 1-2 people. It's def not a lot of meat and was $40. So, depending on the appetite, I would probably order a larger size even for the cost to make sure you have enough. The meat was good but could've used a little more seasoning. It did come with a cup of melted butter that was nice. The sides were all good. The salsa was really good, probably the highlight for me. I also got a cheese enchilada on the side. It comes with a chili over it and it was good. So, with all of that said, Adios Fajitas was good but it's expensive for what you get. I mean a 4 oz queso was $4. 4 oz is tiny. Given their prices, I wanted to love it.
