Fantastic food preparation. Delicious queso chorizo and guacamole, but served in small portions. Never got iced tea refill till I asked for the check after a long wait. Very very slow service from a nice older gentleman. I had to ask for a straw. I had to get my own silverware and napkin from a nearby table. No spoon to stir my tea. If you're in a reasonable hurry, this is not the venue for you. Lol. Nice music, comfortable decor. read more

Sazon De Loa - Cheesecake is delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

The flavors of food were great. It was super quiet in the restaurant but it's cold out. It's nice to get Spanish flavors not in a shell.

We are truly fans of this great Mexican restaurant. The owner is a chef and has created some wonderful dishes you won't find anywhere else. We will be back!!! read more

Had lunch today at the new location in Plano on Renner Rd and enjoyed everything! Especially the service and attention of the owner Mr. de Loa. He joyfully explained his dishes that he has thoughtfully crafted. He is a chef who creates dishes that are delicious and meaningful to him. This is NOT Tex Mex so don't go expecting to get what you find everywhere else. I enjoyed the Chile relleno today and a fresh, yes fresh, lemonade. The "salsa" is a mellow tasty slow cooked stew-like sauce. Sounds like he has big plans for a Cinco de Mayo party so you might want to mark your calendar! read more

Nice warm salsa and delicious queso. Service was great and the owner/chef was very attentive. Prices are good and menu isn't too big but everyone enjoyed their food and we will be back. Their brunch starts tomorrow and it looks promising!! read more

This place is spectacular in all aspects. A Mexican (or Latin) fusion, gem in Richardson. Down the street from my house but I would drive an hour to enjoy the culinary art of Rafael. No dog in this hunt just appreciating its rarity. Jeff read more

My husband and friends have eaten here twice and LOVED it! The poblano soup is highly addictive. My latest entree was the most sublime chili relleno I have ever had, with smoked brisket and an amazing sauce that was far beyond the typical sauces I have had before. We were all very happy with food and service. read more

Food very yummy!! Service very good!!! Very nice atmosphere!! Place nice and super clean!! Come and check them out!!! Highly recommended!! read more

We had a wonderful time. We ordered the chicken relleno, brisket relleno and the chicken enchiladas with the Verde sauce. All of them were good. I especially loved the sauce for the brisket relleno. The flavor of the chicken enchiladas was the best I've ever tasted. It is a family run restaurant and everyone was very helpful and friendly. The presentation of the Jamaican Mystery drink was great and tasted perfect. We also enjoyed the queso and salsa. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could!!! Exceptional service, fantastic and affordable food, awesome atmosphere. I have been here twice and I'll be back many more times. if you like Hispanic food... GO THERE!!!! The owner Rafael is also one of the coolest people. He came and checked on us multiple times and was kind, attentive, and courteous!!! read more

See all

Upon arrival we asked for the lunch menu but the owner/waiter refused to give us a lunch menu or offer any lunch choices on a weekday during the lunch hour. We had to order from the dinner menu which was expensive. Chips and salsa were not brought to the table. We had to ask. The food we ordered was good. When we left we noticed a big sign outdoors by patio advertising $10 weekday lunch prices. We did not notice the sign when we entered the restaurant. We will not be returning due to "shady" feeling we got from this restaurant. read more

Food was delicious!! I would come back again! The service was good.I have the chilaquiles de loa and the flavor was amazing. Definitely ask for the brunch menu read more

I understand it's a place new place but it was quite empty on a Sunday at 430, with the exception of two other patrons. Even so, there were at least two tables and an area at the bar that had not been cleared or cleaned. We sat at the bar and bartender/waiter came and cleared the area next to where I sat, but there was a pool of water left on the counter near me, and when he came to take our order, he noticed it and put his hand in it and pushed it towards the inside of the bar with his palm. I kept thinking he would be back over to clean it thoroughly and I finally had to flag down another who popped up behind the bar (who didn't understand English well) - she looked around the bar area for a rag and couldn't find one and had to go into the back of the restaurant to get one. she came back and cleaned the I noticed our server go to the back at one point and just before going through the door to the kitchen, he stopped at a patron table and grabbed something from the table and put it in his mouth as he walked to the back. I do not want to see my server picking up food and shoving it in his face and then turning around and serving me. Our meals came out timely and were OK but I ended up being up half the night. When it was time for us to get our bill, it took him forever to walk over to us, even though he came into the bar area and checked on another patron, but he never even looked over our way for 2 to 3 trips. Based on the uncleared tables and lack of a cleaning behind the bar plus watching him stuff food in his face while he's on the job, AND my discomfort later that evening, I am suspect as to how clean the kitchen or cooking areas are. Margaritas were very weak and not tasty at all. Will not be returning. read more

Food was mediocre, service was very bad. Waitress seemed lost, never got silverware, drinks took 15 min and place was not busy, my husband didn't receive the right drink ( they did remove from the bill). Will not go back. Choriqueso was great- only good thing. Fajitas are not Tex-Mex sizzling... it's more like a guido type fajitas. read more

Our third time at same location. We were the only patrons and completely ignored! I got a 4 ounce Happy Hour margarita and my husband was not even addressed, no drink order for him. One glass of water even!? He's a black man. He tried waving over a waiter, but again, ignored! We got there at 4:30 to drink before dinner. I am so angry! NEVER AGAIN! All the Tex-Mex around here, I'll choose el Fenix next time. read more

The food is very savory. Service was great. I recommend for date night and for something different at lunch. They can take care of you.

I just ate the pollo sazon and it was amazing. The people I was with said the chili Relleno was the best they have had. We met the owner and chef and he is a trained chef from Guadalajara. I don't think you will be disappointed. I will be back. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is a work of art and beautiful. My order was wrong but I was starving but it was good. Chips are amazing! Times rare tough and it's hard to find good employees but the lack of attention to detail does not match the artistry coming out of the kitchen. I will probably try again and really hope they make it. read more

Slow service and slow with the food coming out. They got the order wrong and the food they brought was terrible. So disappointing! The chips were hard and stale and the salsa was tasteless. We will never be back. There are way too many other good restaurants in this area. read more

3 stars for at least trying. Inaccurate order taking, ambitious menu w mixed results. Most tables were a mess, they cleaned up after we arrived. Brought wrong beer order, beef instead of cheese enchiladas, owner, dressed in filthy kitchen worker shirt, seemed to blame waitress. I can't imagine giving them a second chance when there is so many good Mexican restaurants in the area. And please bring a change of clothes... read more

Some of the best food you can get, and especially for the price. The owner and chef is outstandingly talented and the service has been a treat. read more

I am Hispanic and this is the closest to authentic Mexican food I have had. I was one of the first one to try there breakfast (Huevos Rancheros) and they were awsome. read more

Food was exceptional. The chile relleno was one of the best I've had, and the salmon was perfectly cooked. We have found our new regular spot. read more

Outstanding, fresh, flavorful food. Service was great! Dessert was also amazing! We will be back soon.

Awesome service! Very nice and quaint space. Food was delicious and prepared perfectly!

I was very excited to try this place as there are so few restaurants in this area. Glad to see several more opening up. We arrived as a couple around 8pm and there was only one other table of 4 seated. One other diner came in while we were there. They do not serve chips and salsa, but brought some when we asked. We ordered fajitas to share and I got a cup ($6) of the poblano soup. The soup was delicious (hence the 2 stars), but the fajitas were the worst we've ever had. Nothing about them were what we would consider Mexican or Tex-Mex flavors. Extremely bland. The beef wasn't even traditional fajita meat (flank steak), but something else we couldn't identify. There was a $3 upcharge for 3 additional tortillas. Both the corn and flour tortillas were awful - had a rubbery consistency, which made me wonder if they were old and microwaved. The food took forever to be served, considering the few patrons in the place, and the waiter had an edge to him. He seemed put out when I asked for additional paper napkins and then when he came back, I realized I needed sour cream (because the $17 fajitas came with no accompaniments) and he said, "Anything else?" Like it was a lot to ask to walk back to the kitchen. (BTW, $1 charge for about 2 tablespoons of sour cream). Overall, it was not a good experience and we won't be back. I seriously question the legitimacy of the other reviews. There was nothing about this place that indicated "authentic" Mexican food or "30 years" of experience. I'm sad that this new place is not what I had hoped it would be. Hoping the new places next door will fare better. read more
