    This is my second visit, trying the menudo again, first time was months ago, and was very average, today menudo is a bit better, and 1 dollar lower in price, they do use good honey comb tripe, and lots of hominy, and provide all the condiments, they still need to work on the soup, I believe they are using packaged chili mix, and not cooking and preparing it themselves, the packaged stuff has a plasticy flavor. Almost there though. Next I need to try the tacos and burros. Oh almost forgot, they need to provide better corn tortillas, the ones they give you are paper thin, and do not compliment the menudo, I'd pay a dollar or 2 more for real hand made corn tortillas.

    10/10. Drove from Fort Worth just to try this spot and it was worth it. Hands down some of the best tacos I've ever had (chef's kiss). The agua de jamaica (hibiscus) was a bit on the sweet side but very good. Good service and affordable spot esp for a family night out. The inside is limited on seating but plenty of picnic style seating/ tables available outside. It was a great day outside when I went so the patio worked perfectly. Parking is available on the street and at a lot down 4th street and Oak St. There's a lot right next to the restaurant but you can't park there. I'll will definitely be coming back, and highly recommend you check them out!

    Had this place bookmarked for over a year and dined here the first time on a Sunday, and man was it a huge let down. It's a very tiny establishment, indoor seating is scarce, and there was a long wait. I ordered 3 tacos, 2 carne asada and al pastor, they were horrible and chewy, lacking flavor. On weekends they have menudo, it was just ok, there were no chilli flakes and it was on the bland side I had to add salt and pepper, plus there wasn't enough tripe. I got my baby a kids meal, it was a tiny cheese quesadilla with rice and beans my baby barely touched it. I had high expectations for Mariana's considering they advertised themselves as "authentic Mexican food". Definitely won't be back and don't recommend to anyone, 1/10! Waste of 32 bucks :(

    Place was fairly busy which is a good sign. Bought a variety of food and all was pretty good. I particularly liked the torta and sope. Hot sauces are good also. There's not a lot of space inside but they have park tables outside.

    Mariana's Taco Shop hit the spot! We tried 4 carne asada tacos, 1 barbacoa, and a grilled fish taco--all tasty, no regrets. Great little street taco joint with super nice people. Only downside? Parking's a contact sport. Come hungry, park creatively. Service was solid.

    Wow, I thought I had found delicious tacos at some other local spots like LaLas and Valerie's but this place might have surpassed them as the best tacos and most authentic Mexican tacos I've found in north Texas. The meat and the guac and salsas. Everything was just amazing and well priced as well. Super super impressed and can't wait to get back soon.

    Simple but complete menu. We ordered two burritos and one nacho. It came with a red and a green sauce for each item. Food was very well done. Perfectly balanced and evenly distributed. Good flavor, well presented. Red and green sauce were awesome. Not the typical spiciness though. These sauces were definitely much more muted in spice, but great flavor. The red had a little bit more of a kick but I enjoyed the green sauce more. I wouldn't eat inside as it's tiny and the weather was so nice. Their outdoors eating area was also clean, tidy, and cute. It'd be a waste to not eat outside. The only thing I would say wasn't entirely perfect was that they labeled the burritos incorrectly but we were able to figure it out. Not worth a ding though!

    Always fast, fresh and delicious! Great customer service. Love the patio and so does our chill pup.

    Finally got to try this place. Came here for breakfast while everyone was still in church, so parking was plentiful. Got the egg, chorizo, beans and potatoes. Also got the menudo and a carne asada taco. The egg, chorizo and refried beans were good. Potatoes were ok. But let's talk about the menudo! It was very flavorful. Could have been a bit hotter, but not a biggie because it was already hot and humid outside! To top off the menudo, the carne asada taco was soooo good! Meat was tender, and great size street taco! Parking here is very limited. With all the construction going on in the downtown area and this place being right off the main street going through downtown, it can be challenging with traffic is heavy. Service was good. No indoor seating so to go orders are very popular being only seating is outside in the heat!

    I have been coming here for a while but keep forgetting to do a review. The good news is I always get the same thing so this review can cover them all. This is a great independent little taco shop in the heart of downtown Frisco. They mostly have outside seating on the patio and where i prefer to sit but you do need to plan your weather with your visit I like their food since it is the closest to my So. Cal Mexican food. The chimichanga is nice and crispy on the outside with a very tasty shredded chicken on the inside. The rice is always fluffy and the beans are solid!! I always get an extra side of sour cream to dump on it. If you are in the area i highly suggest you stop by!!

    2024 Yelp 100 Challenge - #33 A local taco shop serving up delicious eats. Customer Service is top tier and food is made to order. I ordered three bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast tacos, and one potato taco. I'm not a huge fan of eggs, so I will order my breakfast tacos wit light eggs (personal preference) but they were every delicious.

    Chips with Queso, salsa for my burrito. Green salsa I could drink!

    Are well behaved, leashed non-service dogs permitted on the patio?

    Can we bring our own alcohol?

    I believe so

    Are you guys open on Sunday? It says you are open online but when we showed up it was closed (1230pm). There were about 10 people also showing up checking the doors.

    They close at 3 PM on Sunday was it a holiday?

    Do you offer pollo asado?

    Yes they do

The photos make it look very lively and fun so imagine our surprise at happy hour on a Friday walking into an entirely empty restaurant! Two couples inside and a couple guys drinking on the patio. We still decided to stay because we were hungry and the place itself is super duper nice and cute! We opted to sit at the bar where we were kindly greeted and two TVs playing football with no volume (which I love)! The barstools were very comfortable as well. Ordered two of the BEST margaritas I've ever had with the gran marnier! I now want all my margs made this way. No need for a second! For food, the enchilada verde and the taco lunch plates were pretty dang good. No complaints there and the servings were reasonable and not too much from the lunch menu. No leftovers. Really enjoyed the verde. Chips and salsa were something to write home about! Amazingly toasted and crunchy, I should have asked for a bag to go with just those chips! Very good! All in all, the staff was too kind and it happened to be my friend's birthday so I "snuck away to the restroom" and told our waiter and he surprised us with a perfect tres leches slice that was absolutely delicious! For lunch and margs I spent $65 and he treated us with that dessert and I felt like that was so sweet! Thank you team at Lalo! You guys were great and I now actually like that the restaurant was slower at the time but I do hope they pick up because it was a great place for us! Enjoyed very much and if we are ever back in the area we will stop through.

There were so many people waiting outside. It was so nice to be able to be seated quickly, especially with kids in tow. They did not offer reservations beyond 5:30 that day, so you'll have to be aware when placing it. You'll receive a text confirmation from Open Table. Be courteous if you need to change or cancel your reservations. We were seated in one of the smaller rooms, which was great! We had good service even though they were extremely busy. We came here for our favorites that we usually order at their other location. The frozen mango margarita is thought of fondly. While it was good, it didn't taste quite as good as I remember it in the past. A very faint mango flavor, it tasted like a plain frozen margarita with orange coloring. It was disappointing since we looked forward to it for so long. The chips are always delicious. We ordered the chicken fajitas for 2 with no onions and they brought us combo chicken & steak fajitas for 2. We just ate it and took home the leftovers. They brought us a container to pack up and processed our tab quickly. Overall, a good visit with a couple of small opportunities for improvement. There are not enough parking spaces in their parking lot! We had to park next door by Academy. We parked far from the store as to not take away parking from Academy shoppers.

Something for every appetite here, but don't come on Mondays when it is closed!

It payed off handsomely for me and Chuys Frisco resulting in a 5 Star Review! After discovering the original Chuys location in Austin 30 + years ago,I became a devoted fan. Every trip to Austin was augmented with a Chuys visit. Along about 1990ish they started expanding and a location near downtown Dallas was a highly anticipated opening. Almost as good as the original. They maintained authenticity for many years expanding even into other states. Then,as often happens,the nose dive began. As a result I quit eating at Chuy's,even when visiting Austin. Not the same. Then,a few months ago enter Darden Restaurant Group. They bought Chuy's lock stock and barrel folding it into their operations which includes one of my faves, Longhorn Steakhouse. I was anxious to try Chuy's again and see if the Upward recovery had begun. I overlooked the Plano location having never liked it that much in favor of the newer Frisco location. Due to my 18/6 eating schedule we went for a early dinner. Bottom line is,Yes! Atmosphere,food, service,prices combine to provide a great Tex-Mex experience. I highly recommend you.... Go! Thanks for the great service Brandon A special shout out to the General Manager doing a world class job Andrew Wilkinson.
