Food was okay. Service okay. Had an issue with a waitress that was talking near us that kept cursing telling a story. I asked her to stop that my daughter is right here. She scoffed at me, then went to the front and gossiped about it, looking at me then turning to laugh. I then brought this up to the manager, she apologized. Will not be returning here. read more

I tried the Cubano tacos. All I have to say is delicious! This is not what you typically think of as a street taco. It is much larger with plenty of meat and filling. I would suggest not getting more than two because generally, I can eat at least four and I was full after two. Definitely a great place to stop by and I think it's definitely an underrated location. Nice little restaurant with a great staff! read more

The staff was friendly, engaging, and outgoing recommending some of their favorite dishes, which made the experience feel very welcoming. The space itself was inviting, and we were excited to try the menu. Prices were also very reasonable, which is always a plus! That said, as someone who grew up on authentic Mexican food, I felt the flavors were a bit lacking. * Chips: 1 * Salsa: 3 * Beans: 4 My enchiladas were generously filled with slightly favorable brisket (a highlight!), but the sauce tasted more like it came from a can than being freshly made. On the other hand, I tried my husband's dish and thought it was full of flavor -- his sauce easily earned a solid 4 in my book. We had different of opinions as he was not impressed. Overall, warm service and good value, but the food fell a little short of authentic flavor for me personally. Perfect spot if you're not chasing authentic flavor and want to soak up the charm of a small town. read more

Salsa - 2 stars (super watery) Chips - 1 star (stale) Tacos - 4 stars (so much meat in each taco - tried barbacoa and steak and both had a lot of flavor - wish they had salsa to match) Restaurant interior could use some upgrades. Service was okay when we went, but not many people inside. Prices were fair. Unfortunately, there are too many great Mexican restaurants in the area that I don't think we will return. read more

LOVE the Sour cream Enchiladas! The breakfast tacos , and the spice red sauce! yum ,yum, yum ! :) read more

Passing through on the way home, and ordered takeout for breakfast. This is a family owned establishment, and all is house made. Our order was ready when promised, and included a large serving of chips and salsa (no charge). He had the Mexican omelet and said the chorizo was high quality - he enjoyed it with the potatoes and bean and house made corn tortillas. I had the cheese enchilada plate, which included 2 cheeses and topped with excellent chili con carne. It came with refried beans and rice, enough for a 2nd meal for me. Will order again when passing through. read more

Most orders I do around Wylie are for to go, I'm purchasing for my elderly, mobility impaired parents. So I look at things that would make their dining experience easier. Well the women's restroom may have bars but they have a changing table preventing the door from opening fully and allowing wheelchair access. The food . My Dad nor I was impressed by the beans. My dad had the tacos Al carbon chicken, he didn't care for the flavor. My mom and I split the flautas, chicken . They were ok. They give a good amount of food, enough to share. The service was a little slow, the person that took my order also manned the phone and was training a waitress. Once my order was in , the food was ready quickly. read more

La Joya Mexican Cocina - Entrance - Mexican Near Me - Wylie, Texas

So I've made several detailed entries about La Joya in the past. I'm here right now. I've been critical of their customer service, it was not the best because it took about 15 minutes for the chips and salsa to arrive and very shortly after that the meal. Luckily they always get it right in the kitchen. Great chips, salsa, guac, cheese enchiladas, rice, beans and a nice tostada. Lunch is about $10 + drink. I will be back for the food. I have it a 3 this time, previously I scored it a 4. Since the customer service is still not fixed. read more

I come here whenever I'm in town. Family owned; Their food is homemade, including the tortillas, corn and flour. It's always consistent. The homemade Queso is addicting. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Wylie. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They have great food and great service.

5 stars for their spicy fish tacos. Plenty of fish in the tacos and the beans are delicious, taste like home made. 4 stars for the queso dip. The carne asada was very tender and tasted really good. Big portions too. The reason I'm giving them a 4 stars, was because it took too long to get a waiter to our table and also to get the food to our table after we ordered. read more

The food is very good, surprisingly excellent burgers in addition to the Mexican dishes. Service and dining room cleaningness are the weak spot, hopefully they'll improved that. read more

They reopened today!!! I would definitely wait at least a few weeks before trying them out again. We waited almost an hour for our food. ( 2 people) we Had to get our own refills, asked for chips twice before we ever got any. Our waitress never asked how our food was. My pancakes were almost burnt. We had to move tables because the air conditioner was dripping on us and our table. I'm being generous with 3 stars because the rest of the staff was friendly. read more

La Joya is delicious Mexican restaurant with a gringo spelling! Honestly the service was great and the salsa is excellent, which is a failing of many Mexican restaurants. The table made guacamole was nice sized, it was the same price I pay at a different place for half the guac. It's in the downtown area of Wylie which is very nice, I was impressed with the gentrified downtown area. I waited too long to do this review because I can't remember what entree I ate but I know it was good, so I'm on my way back to this place to give a proper review! read more

La Joya Mexican Cocina - Inside - Mexican Near Me - Wylie, Texas

Pains me to say it, but this place was a disappointment. Honestly, I didn't have a single bite of food that was good. Chips weren't hot, salsa was super runny & lacked any heat or flavor. I ordered the Caldo de Res, a soup I've had many times elsewhere, and after the first bite, my lips felt oily. Lo & behold, I dipped a tortilla in and it tasted like pure oil, and it looked like a thick layer of oil made up about 50% of the bowl. Just could not eat it. My guest had a tamale and said it was not good either, though they had a ground beef taco they did like. All in all, I'm really dumbfounded as to why anyone would choose to eat here over Frankie's when it's right across the street. Have never had a single bad bite there. read more

So yum so fresh! Big portions and fair prices 10/10 recommend! Service was good ! Salsa is top tier! Loved this place will be back soon

Excellent Mexican food! Everything we have ever ordered has been outstanding, authentic cuisine read more

This was my first time ordering from this place. Food was outstanding! Definitely exceeded my expectations. Everything was flavored perfectly, right down to the salsa. Will definitely be ordering from here again. Note: I ordered a cup chicken tortilla soup. Not sure if they messed up but the soup was huge. I love the huge portions and tortilla soup is one of my favorites so that's a bonus. read more

My wife and I love going to La Joya. We're vegan so sometimes it's difficult to find good options. But the molcajete de guacamole is amazing. The guacamole enchiladas with no cheese and added veggies on top are awesome. And I like to get a burrito stuffed with veggies and covered in the ranchero sauce. The staff are great. Definitely recommend. read more

My family and I were frequent clients of this establishment but that will no longer be the case. This evening we ordered from them via Grubhub knowing the wait and delivery time was right at an hour. Just as the hour mark hit we received notice that the order was canceled by the restaurant. We then called the restaurant to find out what happened to be told by Blanca (Joya?), who claims to be the owner and manager, that it was canceled because their "Grubhub tablet" was not charged. She offered no apology or solution, was rude, unprofessional, and quite frankly, very hostile. Blanca even had the audacity to hang up on me when I was trying to find a reasonable solution. While the food is typically delicious Blanca does not know how to run a business and does not deserve the opportunity to earn your hard-earned money. read more

The service at first was great! Was making a To-Go order, everything was fine! I ordered a chicken torta I changed from one chicken option to the other chicken option, "I know so hard to listen "(sarcastic comment) she even said CHICKEN FAJITA , I said yes please. I get my order, pay ,get in the car and it's beef! I came back inside and said it needs to be chicken! They were yelling at me telling me you said beef! Ganging up on me. I would know if I said beef, beef sometimes ruins my stomach so I know my own self, lady was nosey partnering up with her own coworker saying I said beef! I came back inside from getting my phone, they were talking shit. WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN! VERY BAD SERVICE! so please don't go here!, if I COULD GIVE A 0 I WOULD! read more

This place is good... but i don't advise doing to go orders. For starters when we put in our order over the phone the lady rushed us because she "had a long line in front of her" which is understandable but that's why there should be more than one worker at the front. They don't check that the order is correct before packing it. We order 4 things and 3/4 were incorrect. read more

Everything there is Delicious from the Mexican food to the hamburgers!! The chips and salsa are made fresh daily and the staff is wonderful.

Ordered fajitas to go for lunch. Large portions and fresh tasting food. Will be back!

Horrible. We sat for 15 minutes without any acknowledgment of our existence. They were only taking care of 2 tables. There were 5 of us, 2 were kids, they offered no menus, no drinks, nothing. I will not be back. read more

Great hole in the wall Mexican joint in downtown Wylie You seat yourself anywhere you like when you walk in. Chips and salsa are brought out to you no matter the time of day. (They serve breakfast ALL DAY which was HUGE for me. Who doesn't love breakfast for dinner? Especially breakfast burritos.) They have large cups so you don't have to ask for refills as often which is convenient. Service could use a little work as far as being more attentive and checking on tables. There were a few times when we needed something and our server was talking through and never looked our way so we could get her attention. I think that's the only thing this place is missing is a little better service. I ordered 2 combination breakfast burritos. They include eggs, cheese, bacon and chorizo. I love potatoes in my breakfast burritos so I added potatoes as well as sausage so the burritos were pretty stuffed. I love to eat and I almost had trouble finishing the second one. I asked for hot sauce and I would definitely get a few bites in with it before you add it into your entire burrito. It definitely had a kick but it hit the spot! If you're looking for a place in wylie with authentic Mexican food & incredibly reasonable prices, this is the place to check out. Can't wait to visit again!! read more

In Sachse, Mexican food usually means Frankie's...that is until we discovered La Joya in Wylie. While Frankies is still very good, La Joya rivals any Mexican food place not only Sachse but in the entire Dallas metroplex (IMO). Everything and I mean everything is fantastic. Even the chips and salsa are a step above most other restaurants. Not only is the food great, the prices are cheap, the staff is friendly and its usually easy to get a table without the proverbial 45 minute to 1 hour wait. While La Joya isn't fancy, it is now our go to Mexican restaurant! Side note - the Carmel filled Churos are absolutely incredible. Best I have ever had! read more

They have great service and even better food I highly recommend if you are the downtown Wylie area and they great prices.

This is our new place to go! We love everything we've tried. The food is delicious. You seat yourself, and there seems to always be a crowd. PS. Breakfast is served all day. read more

Some things were good and some were bad. There's potential enough that I might try it again. I went here because some people on social media said it was a great burger. We got a burger and puffy beef tacos. The good: great prices, decent burger, big portions, steak on the puffy tacos was tender, good salsa, friendly service. The bad: terrible chips, the "puffy" taco shells were not puffy and just grease saturated dough- but the meat was good so we took the fillings out and ate it like a salad which was good. I didn't want fries so I asked for onion rings with the burger instead and when they brought the food they said they were out of onion rings and so they gave me fries. It was weird they didn't tell me first and just basically made me take what I didn't want, not the end of the world but weird. The bathroom was dirty and smelled nasty. The place isn't very visually appealing- broken tv, no pictures, just a hole in the wall. But I may try it again sometime because I'd bet the fajitas are good with that tender meat, and maybe the regular taco shells or enchiladas wouldn't be so greasy. read more

I had gone by several times for breakfast two weeks ago - as it says it is open for breakfast - but no one was there. Very disappointed. I've been there even at 10am and nada. They don't care about the hours printed on their doors. Recently, I heard the place caught fire or burned down. I hope no one was hurt. That said, I can't help but think that there may be more to this story. Maybe business isn't as good as the owners would like because staff doesn't show up to open the place till nearly noon? read more
