    Quesadilla  Huarache de bistec. Topped with nopales
    Angel B.

    Let me start by saying.. I am originally from Mexico City And it is really hard to find authentic (no food) but antojitos (garnachas) in this area or Dallas area where I am living at the moment. Well let me tell you. I'll be here every single time that we are in town. This huarache made me feel like I was home home. With a yummy (no fajita or asada) Stake on top of spicy but spacey goood green salsa and I topped it up with nopales (cactus). Just the way I liked back in the days. The tostada de pata was.... Mmmm. Just perfect that you need to try and also is something that you can not find in just any place. Amazing And just so you know and k am not kidding. I am coming back Tonight to get myself a big and delicious pambaso. And if I have some room left on my belly I'll get some gorditas or enchiladas de mole. Last but not least.. Grate, excellent service from the pols here. Very attentive and the place is small but very clean. OMG!! And pls try the aguas frescas I got guava and my lady got strawberry. Soooooo goooood. An apology if I hurt some feelings but way better than our experience at THAT Stakehouse from las night. Thanks Rincon Mexicano and pls don't change the quality of anything.

    The place is really clean and nice, they are really welcoming too. The only downside I see is that when I ordered a huarache they didn't told me they had salsa on it and it was sooo spicy I couldn't even eat it. I ordered a carrot juice with orange and it was delicious!! My experience was good except for the salsa if you love salsa you are going to love the Huaraches here

    La Tejana Torta

    My first time eating tortas here and it won't be the last one, I got a Tejana Torta and my husband got a pambazo and both were delicious and complementary they offer salsas and they are delicious as well, we even both the salsas to take them home. If you're looking for authentic Mexican tortas this is the place, you won't regret it. Enjoy

    Torta pobre

    Pinches tortas pobres por eso le cambiaron el nombre antes eran la llardas antes si estaban buenas ahora quieren vender la carne de un taco en una torta y page 17 dollar por era especial

    Very impressed the place is small but clean and you instantly feel Like your in a dive in Mexico. People are nice and attentive! The food was perfect just the right amount of everything!!!

    SO MUCH FAT, MORE BEANS AND LETTICE THAN MEAT. There's only like 4 pieces of meat in there be serious.

    It was so bad, I'm not the type to leave bad reviews ANYWHERE but this was so BAD.!!!! There was so much fat, the meat wasn't cooked right, didn't taste good, more lettuce that actual meat.!!! $35 FOR 3 FREAKING TORTAS. RIDICULOUS! Never going back, if I could give it 0 starts I would.

    Excellent tacos !! Homemade tacos sauces were great. Service was good too. Better then average antojitos shop. Tortas look good too, will be back.

    I came out on Cinco de Mayo craving some Mexican food, of course on the special day, right? I was also craving a burger and didn't want an American one, though maybe it would have tasted a little bit better. Anyways, I came into the restaurant and wasn't greeted. It was one person sitting and eating his torta. I began to view the giant menu and especially the tortas. Note here: if you don't eat pork or prefer other meats than pork: this wouldn't be the best spot for you because most of the tortas have pork meat in it which was a disappointment for me. I asked the lady in the front if they had any tortas with just chicken or beef; and she wasn't able to assist me properly because she couldn't understand English or what I was saying. I was honestly just about to leave until I considered to give this restaurant a chance: I ended up ordering the La Dieta (Vegetarian) torta with no meat just cheese, avocado, tomatoes, no pickles, no mayo, no ketchup nor mustard, shredded lettuce, it also came with jalapenos and some red watery sauce. Now, there is definitely a language barrier issue here: I can understand if you are Hispanic and speak the language, but what about the others that don't speak the language? I mean, seriously there should be a regulation that businesses and restaurants should have at least one person who speaks the primary language of America which is English. It didn't take no time for them to bring out my meal: at about less than 5 mins my food was out. The meal just torta was $6. For $6, I was really hoping that this Mexican burger was to be filled with flavor and yumminess, instead it was beyond gross. The torta was soggy everything was mushed together; the white queso was hard and wouldn't melt when I warmed it in the microwave. (I had to re-warm it because it was lukewarm when they gave it to me) The tomato still had the middle part (where the stem would be) in it; they failed to cut that part off. The lettuce was very mushy and very gross; it looked like slop literally. It didn't seem like they took the time to prepare the torta. It was absolutely no flavor nor taste; very bland and that is pretty rare to me since its Mexican food which would normally be filled with flavor and spices. The bread didn't have a flavor either usually breads are soft and has a seasonings to it; this one nope not at all. I'm sure even if it was just veggie torta then it should not taste like that; I've had American burgers where it was turkey, black bean, or veggie burgers and wow they were good; but this one being Mexican and a burger--it failed big time. The service I can't get angry for because that lady spoke Spanish and I spoke English; I just wish she would at least learned the English language before moving or coming to Texas. Oh and lots of parking; it is next to the comedy club off of 45/S and Fuqua.

    Not gonna lie, I found this little local spot with low standards. Man was I proved wrong. Great spot. Interior was decorated very nicely and was clean giving off a very authentic atmosphere. Great selection of food to choose from and everything was fresh. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

    One of the best Mexican food, they have friendly people, tasty food

    One of the best Mexican Food i have ever eat , fresh food, good service and we will definitely come back here

It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

The experience started poorly with the valet attendants, whom we found to be rude, dismissive, and very unprofessional. It was such an unpleasant first impression that my wife and I mentioned it to the hostess when we went inside. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The hostess seemed completely unconcerned about our experience and simply informed us that the wait for a table was approximately two hours. While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.
