It had been several decades since my last visit to Mia's Tex-Mex, and since my wife and I were in the area, we decided to stop in. Wow--things have definitely changed! 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! read more

Best camarones a la diabla I have ever had. Plus, amazingly well cooked and seasoned white rice and vegetables - which would normally be a throwaway anywhere else. AND, the server heated up fresh tortillas for me when I asked him for some on the side. SO. Good. White queso was perfect. Brisket tacos were fantastic; I didn't get them this recent visit but I've had them numerous times when I took out-of-towners here. Chips and salsa are also top notch. Service could not have been better. Portions are generous. I will come back here again when I am in the area. read more

This joint is quintessential Tex-Mex. Kitsch on the walls and a menu full of stuff that includes the same 3-4 ingredients. Cold, spicy salsa. Even colder bottled beer. The service here was great on my visit. The atmosphere, albeit a little crowded, was comfy. As I do with my first visit at any Tex-Mex joint, I order the combo plate. I was very pleased with it here. The taco was crunchy with nicely seasoned (non-greasy) ground beef and lettuce and cheese served on the side (I told them no tomatoes). The tamale had a wonderful brisket-like filling, although there was a little too much masa for me. The cheese enchilada was filled with actual cheese, which is a good (if not rare) thing these days. The chili con carne topping was wonderful, as was the rice -- which is among the most perfectly cooked that I have ever experienced in a Tex-Mex joint. The refried beans were run-of-the mill. I must say that the enchilada tortillas are firmer than most. Not necessarily bad, but they definitely don't par-fry these things before rolling. I tend to judge Tex-Mex joints by their salsa. If it's served warm, I take points off the board. This stuff is served ice-cold and has a wonderful bite. Bottom line: If I lived here, I'd be a regular. Excellent Tex-Mex. read more

I came to Texas looking for Tex-Mex and Mia's did not disappoint. If you don't get anything else here you have got to try their brisket tacos! The service was excellent, he was very friendly and gave great recommendations in the menu. The salsa was home made and I wish I could've taken a jar home with me! I had one of the dinner specials and the chicken enchilada was really good! I also recommend the frozen mango margarita with tajin rim. Overall a great dining experience! read more

Everything you want a classic Tex-Mex restaurant to be. Bright colors, authentic music, all the greatest hits on the menu. Refried beans and Spanish rice are standout, classic chicken enchiladas are great. Very reasonable prices. I heard this was the original Dallas Tex-Mex place that eventually birthed Mi Cocina, but the traditional vibes really shine here. Let the tourists go to Mi Cocina, and make the OG spot your go-to. read more

Absolutely fantastic! The salsa is probably the best salsa I've ever had at any restaurant. It definitely has a kick to it! Service is great. Highly recommended read more

I enjoyed my time at Mia's. The staff were very friendly starting at the valet and containing with our host and waitress. The ambiance inside is reminiscent of many classical tex-mex restaurants. We started off with a margarita along with queso and the complimentary chips and salsa. We then split the combo fajitas. Everything we had was good but I don't remember any of it being stand out. I appreciated the quick service, seating ability, and solid food at a reasonable price. Although I have had better fajitas/queso, Mia's is a great option for a casual Tex-Mex option and I would come back. read more

Love this place, we go often. The salsa is delicious and so much flavor. The frozen margaritas are pretty strong. So strong that they don't stay frozen! Hubby likes the frozen swirls. Their steak fajita nachos are my favorite. Hubby usually gets chicken fajitas, no rice and double charro beans. The beans have a good flavor! He gets other items on menu and they are always delicious! Our waitress tonight was Mini. She was amazing! So very nice and attentive. She kept our glasses full and chips and salsa always replenished. Think she's been my favorite server and we've been a lot! Think she's would do an amazing job no matter where she worked! The best! Will go back soon! read more

The place is very casual and homey. Feels like you're in the comfort of your family's house. Cute signs all over the place paying homage to the loved ones that the restaurant is dedicated to. Service was great and very fast! I had the half order of nachos with beef fajita meat. The portion size was good! The food was just okay. Felt like it lacked flavor overall and I found a hair in my food at the very end. It wasn't bad but it probably isn't a place I'd jump to return to. read more

It's tasty! I was busy eating so I didn't get a lot of pictures. You walk in and it's first come first serve. We had a party of 7 and waited about 20 minutes the place was hopping. We were sat and ordered Margaritas (Duh!) The frozen had some floater and was tasty and yummy. We enjoyed. We ordered guacamole, it was creamy, fresh, and tasty. They give you chips and salsa which the group thought was a little spicy so like an above medium. I ordered fish tacos that came with veggies and rice and beans. The fish was chopped up and a little dry but the veggies were flavorful and seasoned. It's a good spot, fun vibe, and tasty! read more

I was told this is where you go to get the best brisket tacos in DFW and I have to say, Mia's did not disappoint. One warning is they do not have regular parking only valet parking. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was busy but we were seated quickly. It is clean and has a great atmosphere. Of course I ordered the brisket tacos and they are definitely the best brisket tacos I've had. The gravy that it's served with is absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Mia's Tex-Mex -- Flavor. Vibes. Perfection. Let me just say... Mia's never misses! From the moment I walked in, the place had that lively Tex-Mex energy ... warm, welcoming, and full of that "you're about to eat good" feeling. I kicked things off with the Half-Order Beef Nachos (no beans) :crisp, cheesy, and layered just right. Add sour cream and jalapeños on the side, and you've got the perfect start. Then came the main event :the Combination #3 (because one version just isn't enough): Plate 1: Two beef enchiladas + one ground beef taco with rice Plate 2: Two beef soft tacos + one sunset beef enchilada with rice Every bite was packed with flavor & seasoned perfectly, hearty, and made with that authentic Dallas Tex-Mex love. Our server was friendly, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly ....major plus! Overall: Mia's is that spot for anyone who loves great food, good people, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. Whether you're a local regular or just passing through go ahead and treat yourself. You'll thank me later. #TexMexHeaven #DallasEats #YelpEliteVibes #FoodieApproved read more

Came for dinner on a Tuesday to try their famous chile relleno. It was okay but was kind of disappointed. This was my first time having a chile relleno that out raisins and nuts inside which threw me off and I did not like this flavor.

Saturday evening, even with reservations we waited for 1 1/5 to be seated. That's was kinda annoying. Tight quarters with no where to wait. We had to stand the whole time with a baby. The service made up for it though....i guess The food came out hot and only 20 mins or so wait time. The brisket tacos where good but not all the hype 7/10 The beans were awful....burnt flavor 0/10 If we go back hopefully it will be a better experience. read more

Excellent Tex-Mex spot. Quite delicious and spicy! A vast menu of excellent dishes with speedy service.

I grew up eating Chi-Chi's in New Mexico, and was so happy when my server asked if I wanted a sopapilla for dessert after eating an early dinner here. What a great way to end a delicious Tex-Mex meal! Chips, salsa and fresh guacamole where satisfying. The menu had a lot of combo choices, so I decided based on my waiter's favorite and was very pleased. Only ding against the experience was when I pulled into the empty parking lot and a guy started putting cones in the spaces to prepare for valet parking. He told me he would park my car for a tip. I told him I didn't have cash so I backed out and parked on the street. It was weird, but everyone on the inside was great. read more

I am updating my experience. I go here atleast once a month and generally have no issues. One time they gave me the wrong ticket, but fixed it. The other day however was not a good experience. My meal was 21.60 and I left a cash tip on table. A few days later I noticed I was charged almost 36.00. The waitress had put an almost 15.00 tip onto my card trying to be sneaky. In this area there are some wealthier people being by Highland Park and so she may had been getting away with it, but I check my statements. I usually have the same waiter so next time I'll ask for him and if I see the waitress I'll definitely let her know it's not ok to steal from people. Check your statements if you don't want to be stolen from. I did reach out to the manager and they reimbursed me. The attached picture is from another experience. read more

Got to the restaurant at 4:50pm. Not one car in parking lot. The last time I was forced to valet I got a door ding that cost hundreds to repair. I asked the valet attendant it I could park my own car. Told him I would still tip/pay...he refused to let me. YOU SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO VALET...especially at a restaurant like Mia's. I call and asked to speak to a manager to give feedback and the person said they weren't able to take a call. Lol. We left and went to Ojeda's which was great overall. Won't return. read more

We have been here a few times. We don't come to Dallas often but when we do we make it a point to come here. It's the unicorn of Mexican food restaurants! You know when you take a bite of some really amazing food and it's so good that your eyes just roll back into your head like you just experienced some kind of sensation that you can't describe? Well this is where you will get that! The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere also and the wait staff are very friendly. I believe they need a bigger building but the one they're in has a lot of nostalgia. I don't like dealing with Dallas traffic but this place makes me look forward to going to Dallas! read more

The food is reliably excellent! Brisket tacos are outstanding! Service is fast and friendly.

Came with a friend for lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They offer valet for parking and upon entering we were seated immediately. Our waiter was attentive and provided recommendations on his faves from the menu. The food is brought out quickly so it makes for a good choice if you're on lunch and need to return to work timely. For drinks, I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita (sugar rim) and the drink was delicious! The guacamole dip was fresh and chips/salsa very good. I decided to go with the chicken fajita chimichanga topped with queso. The chimi was filled with chicken and bell peppers/onions! Rice, beans, sour cream, and guacamole came on the side. I rarely ever order chimichangas but I enjoyed it! My friend enjoyed his food as well! I will return to try out other menu items and drinks! read more

My daughter and I are visiting from out of state and wanted authentic Mexican food and chose Mia's. We noticed the nachos did not have a description of the food item, but we opted to order and share them. When the plate arrived it had 5 nacho chips with hamburger and melted cheese, a small slice of red onion and dollop of sour cream on the side. To say we were highly disappointed was an understatement. We paid $12 for 5 nacho chips and left dissatisfied read more

We ordered a dozen nachos, but they came out cold. The replacement plate they brought us was just our original order of nachos, reheated... including the sour cream, jalapeños, etc. The waitress seemed confused about why we were unhappy with the replacement plate of nachos she brought back.... I think it's because she was too preoccupied with sitting at the table behind us and showing those people pictures on her phone. read more
