    Loved this restaurant! Good service and the food was amazing! Nice lady! Atmosphere was nice and very authentic felt like I was in Mexico. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants REAL Mexican food.

    The Best Cash-Only Mexican Home Cooking in Irving! Comida casera cerca del aeropuerto DFW After picking up a family member from the airport, their first request was for "real Mexican food." Without hesitation, we headed to a hidden gem tucked away in a sea of apartments in Irving. Nestled in a shopping strip anchored by a Buddhist temple and a laundromat, you'll find Pisca de Oaxaca--a liquor store that also houses a cozy restaurant. The name, "Pisca de Oaxaca" (Oaxaca Harvest), is a bit ironic since they currently don't offer dishes traditional to Oaxaca. Nevertheless, the food here is authentic, hearty, and full of flavor. We arrived during lunch and sampled a variety of dishes: flautas, crispy tacos, tortas, tamales, and tacos. Chicken Flautas: These crunchy rolled tortillas, stuffed with chicken, were perfectly served with mounds of lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and Oaxaca (mozzarella) cheese. A filling and delicious meal. Crispy Tacos (Tacos de Papa): A traditional street food from southern Mexico, these tacos are like empanadas but with tortillas and a mashed potato filling. The potato itself is mild, but with toppings like crispy lettuce, sour cream, Oaxaca cheese, and tomato, they become a flavorful treat. Definitely add salsa--both the green and red varieties pack a punch, reminiscent of the salsas you'd find at a street food stall in Mexico. Torta de Milanesa: This sandwich, featuring breaded beef (similar to chicken-fried steak), was generously packed with avocado, lettuce, refried beans, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and onions. A very filling and satisfying choice. Tamal de Rajas: The masa (tamal dough) was wonderfully flavorful and reminded me of my grandma's tamales. Filled with seedless jalapeños and melted mozzarella cheese, this tamal was both savory and filling. Tacos de Pollo: I usually skip chicken tacos, but these were an exception. Charcoal rotisserie-style, the chicken was juicy with a delightful charred flavor, reminiscent of a perfect backyard BBQ. Rice & Beans: Pure nostalgia. The rice tasted just like the amazing rice my mom made when I was a kid, and the refried beans were just as my grandma used to make--comfort food at its best. If you're craving authentic home-cooked Mexican meals and don't have family nearby, or if you simply want to experience what Mexican home cooking is like, this is the place to satisfy that craving. I plan to return on the weekend to try the pozole (hominy soup), menudo (tripe soup, great for hangovers), and champurrado (a chocolate, cinnamon, and masa drink), which are served Fridays through Sundays. A special shoutout to the owner, Amelia. Her kindness and passion for her food are evident in every dish--it's the secret ingredient that makes this place special. A quick anecdote: I mentioned my interest in trying the seafood soup but had to skip it due to a mild allergy in our group. Amelia ("Emily") brought out a small cup for me to sample anyway, and it was incredible--definitely on my list for next time. The Flip Side: While the aguas frescas (like Jamaica and tamarindo) were refreshing, I wished they offered more flavors like cantaloupe or horchata. Additionally, it would be great to see some actual Oaxacan dishes, such as enmoladas, Oaxacan tamales (banana leaf tamales), and tlayudas, on the menu in the future. I will be back many times, each time bringing more friends to experience this homemade taste of Mexico.

    Third time here now. Weeknight and had to wait a bit to get seated but it wasn't that completely…read morefull. All the parking garages around were pretty full though! It was SOOOO LOUD though. just so many people and loud. Hard to have a conversation. Got the crab cake salad ($34). The crab cake itself was legit. The salad part was an interesting set up since they just had the crab cake on the side and then the salad on the side. I really liked it! Tried one of the sushi rolls and it was interesting that they added some olive oil and citrus?? when it wasn't specified on the menu at all.. I liked the roll though. It will run you $20+ for one. It's big but I also feel like you would need to order a side if you wanted to make that your main entree. And paying for 2 sushi rolls at that price point is steep. The lobster roll looked good? very saucy though. A lot of the stuff on the menu is market price like the filet, risotto etc.

I continue to be impressed by the service and the food. And when you combine this with the beautiful spring weather in Texas (March), it's one of the best experiences in all of DFW. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - If you haven't been to Water Street, go now while the weather is nice (March or October). I'm writing this review in March when the Texas weather is beautiful. While the inside of Pacific Table is elegant with blue booths and white tablecloths, the outdoor seating next to Lake Carolyn creates a view that's almost impossible to find in DFW: fine dining by the water. 1 Star. Service - The service is great. Our server was attentive, helpful, and best of all shared the special of the day. I always ask my server because when they recommend an excellent dish, it means the restaurant puts in the effort to enable them. Mission accomplished. 1 Star. Food - I went with Pacific Table's special of the day: blackened redfish with creole sauce and a vegetable. WOW. This dish was a homerun. The fish was tender, well-seasoned, and the sauce added a creamy component that reminded me of the bayou. As a bonus, my sauteed spinach that I chose as my side was equally delicious. If I wasn't dining in public, I would have licked my plate. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Every time I eat at Pacific Table, I try something new and am pleasantly surprised. The combination of service, specials, and amazing Texas spring weather makes this a repeatable restaurant in my rotation. 1 Star.

    Been a loyal customer of Via Real since the early 1990's…read more All of a sudden they decided to charge much more in taxes that I assume must partially be to offset what seemed like a nice "social hour" recently added. When we asked the manager about it, he didn't seem to know they changed this. 10/25/25 was 8.25% tax (including alcohol in the order). All recent bills were anywhere from 13% to 16.5% hidden in the "tax" line, not even itemized. I'm sure because they know most won't realize it. This may explain why on a Friday at 5pm (even with a social hour) the bar was empty except for one other couple. Not going to reduce the stars since I like many of the long-timers that work here, but whoever is running the show now should probably re-examine their decisions. #WWFD

We sat at the bar on a Friday afternoon and were greeted by a great bartender named Edgar. He gave us a few recommendations, so we thought we'd go with his suggestions. So happy we listened! The sea bass enchiladas with charbroiled shrimp were fantastic! I absolutely wasn't expecting the depth of flavors. It was an amazing dish for sure. The charbroiled filet mignon was the star of the show however. We were not expecting such a great steak at a Mexican restaurant. The table side charring was perfect! Charred to a perfect medium rare with the right amount of seasonings. If we're ever in Dallas/Irving area...we'd definitely return! Well done.

It's always packed, so I figured it had to be worth trying, and it definitely was! The restaurant is located in a great shopping plaza with an Asian market, boba shops, bakeries, and other stores, making it a fun area to explore before or after your meal. We were seated immediately, which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant had a fun, energetic atmosphere with great music playing, making it the perfect spot for a girls' night. We started with a few appetizers: garlic noodles, Kickin Wings, and raw oysters. I didn't personally try the oysters, but my friend really enjoyed them. The Kickin Wings were my favorite appetizer! They were hot, crispy, and packed with flavor. The garlic noodles were just okay in my opinion, but the shrimp added to them was delicious. For our seafood boils, we ordered the Special Combo, which included 1/2 lb head-off shrimp, 1/2 lb snow crab, one potato, and sausage for $34.99, with the option to add more items for an additional charge. The seafood was fresh, well-seasoned, and flavorful. My only minor complaint was that the boil bag felt a little small, making it a bit difficult to really dig in and mix everything together the way I like. Overall, we had a great experience! The food was delicious, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and it was the perfect place to catch up with friends over seafood. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a seafood boil. Would definitely recommend!

Not so much as an acknowledgment from the wait staff of the awkwardness of the situation, and certainly not a substitute. I might have been more charitable if my entree was good, but the haphazard combination of two eggplant Parmesan appetizers into a main was mediocre at best. There is not even an official vegetarian entree on the menu, and the staff seemed genuinely flummoxed by the request. I'm giving 2 stars because, perhaps sensing my displeasure, they made sure to clarify that the peculiar, deconstructed caesar salad had been modified for my needs.

So I am thankful this places closes at 2:30AM!!! I ordered the Combo #2, market price was only $42.99, which came with snowcrab, 2 lbs of crawfish, sausage, potato, corn. That was a pretty good price for a Californian! The crawfish were okay, the sausage was really juicy and I enjoyed. The snow crab smelled like ammonia ong. I didn't expect much but they should really get on that. The sauce was brown and gritty and soo dang salty! This place was 10 minutes from DFW and open late so I got what I got. Strawberry Daiquiri was basically a strawberry syrup slush mocktail. The restaurant was connected to a food court it appears, and is pretty old and casual. The storage freezers were next to the dining tables. Would never come back for sure, but my server was really nice! I was about to order chocolate cake and homegirl advised me not to LOL!

Revisé el menú en línea y las reseñas, y manejé 13 minutos para encontrarme con una verdadera maravilla. Lo que me encantó: La atención fue excelente. Nos atendió Nidia, quien no solo es muy amable, sino también servicial y eficiente. Adolfo, el gerente, es un tipazo. Lo simple pero importante: Sus vasos de plástico, tan originales. La sencillez y el humor del menú. Los precios son justos para la cantidad que sirven. Lo que me dejó impresionado: La sopa de mariscos. Este tipo de sopas es sencillo: o la sabes hacer o no. Si no, termina siendo como la de Pappadeaux--para llorar. Esta sopa, en cambio, tiene mariscos abundantes (cangrejo, almeja, pulpo, pescado, camarón, calamar, etc.). El sabor es ligeramente dulce y cada nota se distingue con claridad. Muy recomendada. Una sola sopa es más que suficiente para una persona. Esto último lo aprendí demasiado tarde, después de haber pedido también el pulpo a la plancha, que terminé llevando para casa porque era demasiada comida. Mis únicas dos quejas: Las tostadas que ofrecen vienen con un pollo que parece atún, pero sabe a plástico. Mi perrito iba conmigo y ni siquiera él quiso comérselo, lo cual dice mucho. Algo raro ahí. La otra es la música: demasiado fuerte y del mismo género. Si el objetivo es honrar la cultura mexicana, hay muchísimos géneros entre los cuales escoger. Digo yo... no sé. Mejorar estos dos detalles llevaría la experiencia en El Viejón a otro nivel. ¡El Viejón, recomendadísimo! ------------------------------------- Leaving DFW airport, I found myself craving seafood soup--no idea where the craving came from. I searched for nearby options and El Viejón came up. I checked the online menu and reviews, then drove 13 minutes, only to discover a real gem. What I loved: The service was excellent. Nidia took care of us--she was not only kind, but also attentive and efficient. Adolfo, the manager, is a great guy. The simple but important things: Their plastic cups are surprisingly original. The menu is simple and humorous. Prices are fair for the generous portions they serve. What truly impressed me: The seafood soup. This kind of soup is simple: either you know how to make it, or you don't--and when you don't, it ends up like the one at Pappadeaux... something to cry about. This one, however, is loaded with seafood (crab, clams, octopus, fish, shrimp, squid, etc.). It has a subtle sweetness, and you can taste every distinct note. Highly recommended. One soup is more than enough for one person. I learned that lesson too late--after also ordering the grilled octopus. I had to get it to go because it was simply too much food. My only two complaints: The tostadas they serve come with chicken that looks like tuna but tastes like plastic. My dog was with me and wouldn't even eat it--which says a lot. Very strange. The other issue is the music: too loud and all from the same genre. If the goal is to honor Mexican culture, there are so many genres to choose from. Just saying--I don't know. Fixing these two things would take the experience at El Viejón to another level. El Viejón--highly recommended.
