Walked in 40 minutes until close with 4 adults 4 kids on a Saturday night. They said the kitchen "just closed". Well then your closing time needs to be 930! Probably just missed a $300 tab from non-locals but whatever. On to the next! read more

Best Mexican food in Rowlett! The Bria racism are superb. The restaurant is on the small side but they offer great service and take out options. read more

A little cramped... a little busy... a little annoyed asking for refills but the food was very good and the prices were fair. When the food is good, I can let some of the small stuff slide. read more

Lettuce tacos and skinny margarita made for a wonderful low carb dinner! Brisket cheese enchiladas for my partner in crime were a hit - with a fabulous frozen margarita. It's a very small restaurant, so come early! read more

I don't know what's going on but this is the third-place I have reviewed lately where the review has gone missing... What a great find, I had set out from Rockwall to run some errands for my parents.... Not being from here I'm not used to the traffic schedule and duration. I made the mistake to choose to go towards Mesquite on I 30 at 4:30 in the afternoon. I came up over the hill from Rockwall and saw the bumper-to-bumper standstill traffic on I 30 over the reservoir as I passed the last exit. oh well what can you do, turn up the tunes and relax and enjoy the wait. After finding out that the place I had travel to did not have what I needed, I decided to use Google maps to get back to Rockwall. Google maps showed me a way to go down 66 back to Rockwall, I figured the drive might be a little better than bumper-to-bumper traffic on 30. Realizing that the Houston Astros had a game that night against the Texas Rangers I decided to make a stop along the way and watch the game. I stopped at three places Took a look inside the door and they either didn't have TVs or they were oh so crowded... I finally came to this joint and it was small and cozy but most of all everybody seem to be having fun. I asked the first person I saw there if they were going to have the baseball game on tonight and she quickly said certainly. So I decided to wait for a place at the bar to open up. A seat finally opened up and I sat down. Met several of the regulars and they were quick to tell me that everything was good and what the specials for the night were, Which I took your advice and tried. I sat there with one of the other regulars who I had talked with quite a bit. I noticed they were closing but my new friend told me no worries we can stay till they're done cleaning up... which I did. The nachos and salsa's were excellent and the margaritas are pretty darn good as well... So good that I brought my parents back the next day for lunch as we were in the area and I was not going to miss out on the chance to try some thing else here. In talking with the daughter, of the mother and daughter team who own this restaurant... I found out they had several different salsa's and she brought them all out to us, each one being better than the last and yet each of them had a distinctive flavor and degree of heat. Some may be too hot, if you're not accustom to the heat. After she had brought out our meal, she pacifically asked us what we thought of the rice, because she said that she had been trying to make it as good as her mother does. At which point I asked when her mother does the cooking, so I could come back on one of those days, which I will. by the way, Was excellent dry and tender with a spice that I just couldn't put a name to that set it apart. It was reminiscent of my travels to Mexico where I first discovered traditional Mexican Food rather than Tex Mex, which has its place but not here. As the night before everything was excellent!!! and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Rockwall Mexican food restaurants will be missing some clientele as it's well worth the few more minutes of driving to get to. Looking forward to coming back to Rockwall so I can go back to rowlett to eat some more good Mexican food!!!! This should not be missed by anyone who considers themselves a Mexican food Foodie!!! read more

Great place to eat me and my wife came in thinking this is Tex-mex but it was pretty close to authentic Mexican food. They give you salsa and chips right as you sit down. Would come back again for sure great price for serving sizes read more

Jalapeño Tacos and Margaritas were great! Sat at at the bar to watch college football game. Small bar was perfect for a Saturday afternoon lunch. read more

Senaida's has great deals on Taco Tuesday on their street tacos, with your choice of pork, chicken, beef or brisket. We had the brisket tacos which are full of flavor and generously portioned. For an appetizer we had chips and a white queso with pico that was good but a bigger portion would have been nicer as it didn't go very far with three people. The wait staff was friendly, but there is limited seating and it took them a long time to bring the food so I'm glad we were the only ones there when we ordered or we might have never received our food. read more

Can authentic mexican food come from a strip-store location? YES! What Senaida's lacks in ambiance and style, they make up in other areas! Seat yourself, and a server will be quickly at your table for drink orders. (Always a plus for this thirsty diner.). The frozen margaritas come in 3 flavors (mine's gotta be lime), and it is a huge bargain in HH (4-7pm) at only $3.25! Kind of weak (needs more tequila), but good flavor. Ditto on the mijito I tried; good flavor - but not quite enough rum. The chips appear to be made in house, and the salsa is good! Score! We tried assorted street tacos, and every meat we tried was good! Grease did NOT drip out the end of our tacos, as is often common at taquerias. Pepsi soft-drinks, and Mexican cokes. Plenty of parking. Low prices, attentive waiters, flavor-filled food - what more could you want? (Other than stronger drinks.). We liked it!! read more

Great food and the drinks are bomb !!!! Service is really good !!! Im coming back next week. read more

I would try something else if I ever went again, probably not. I had the shrimp cocktail and I swear it was just boiled shrimp in Clamato. Not good. I don't usually leave reviews but if you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant this is probably not it. read more

We went here tonight for the first time. The restaurant was more like a bar setting instead of a regular restaurant. The server was kind and helpful and our food came out quickly. However, the food was horrible and too spicy. We felt they spiced everything up in order to cover such bland food. Nothing against the staff, but if you want a high quality meal, I unfortunately cannot recommend this establishment. read more

Delicious food, awesome happy hour (my fave are the $5 margaritas) and great vibe! The staff is efficient and full of smiles. Giselle greets you like family read more

Go here often. Usually very good. Went there today and got the tostadas de tinga:The tostadas were incompletely wet greasy not totally fried cold tortillas: The waiter was more concerned with talking to people at the bar; than his patrons at their tables, my first bad experience there read more

Amazing food! Birria taco plate is a must and their rice is incredible we order a large size every time to have left overs

I have to say I don't understand the great reviews. The food was fair. The chips were stale. The plain queso was good. Husband got a beef taco plate. He wasn't happy with the chunks of beef. I got one chicken taco and one carnitas taco , mine was fair at best. Service was fine. The restaurant itself is cute and little. Won't be back. Mi cocina is much better with better food, read more

We are here for a job interview for my husband. We hopped on to yelp to find some tacos and margaritas. This place did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the top shelf margaritas were strong and delicious. The only one negative was that the cake was still partially frozen. But overall was a fantastic meal. read more

Always consistent! We enjoy this if we're looking for something quick. I'd say skip the enchiladas (they were rather bland even with sauce) and go for the tacos, tostadas or flautas. The tinga tostadas are BOMB. read more

UPDATE: Friday night I tried the Jalapeno taco. 1st one was so good, I ordered a 2nd. The 2nd Jalapeno taco was very Greasy & Oily, not like 1st. All my life I eat spicy food, so no worry. I ate & paid my bill. OMG that 2nd oily Jalapeno taco was wrong! Bad heartburn. Burping grease. Tums & mineral water all night, kept busy to take my mind off, no sleep. I waited 24 hours to eat again. I survived the cook's mistake. read more

Reviews were great is why went. I can't eat much and they don't have lunch portion. Chips are thick and hard. Black beans option only. 17.99 for fajita's for single. Drank water so with simple 15% tip was 23.00 for 1 person for lunch is not good. read more

We have eaten here a few times....but tonight's to go order was very disappointing.....queso should not pour like water (see pic)....no salsa in the bag, and food was luke warm at best. Hopefully tonight was just a bad night. read more

Cute trendy place to come eat. I recommend the birria tacos and the fajitas. I wouldn't recommend the sopapillas, they don't taste traditional at all. Service is descent just a little slow on weekends. read more

The rice and beans are super authentic! Reminds me of home the bistec and pastor tacos are the go to here. The meat is really good and the taste is authentic. However, the prices are pretty steep.. but on Tuesdays they have 99 cent tacos! I would definitely go on Tuesday (order take out) They get really busy and their bar isnt currently open. I got a taco plate and an adult beverage for just under $18 on a regular day read more

Had the Molcajete and it was AMAZING! This place sits off in the corner and lives up to its authenticity. One of the best Mexican restaurants I've eaten in a long time.

Was not impressed My waiter Sunday feb 16 230 or so Young man brown hair Didn't look like he was happy to be there very nonchalant about everything I should never have to put out please fill my glass up with ice tea he just didn't look like he was happy I don't like a restaurant who's waiters are not happy read more

Heads up! - ZERO Vegetarian/Vegan options. I was referred to this place by a dear, carnivorous companion. First impression - MY GOODNESS!!! Those chips are so delicious! Salsa, no kick, but good! The menu was very chorizo and chicken heavy. A few things looked good. The beans seem to never be specified. They have refried and borracho. I ended up with the shrimp fajitas, slightly disappointed. The shrimp was grilled deliciously, with tails. You get your choice of flour or corn. The corn are hearty (and healthier) and crisped. That good good. Loved that part. They bring out 3 sauces. The red chili red is so so good. The green with seeds is good too! They seem to bank on the street tacos, particularly brisket. They can be purchased at $1.99 per, and look worth it, though small. Worth checking out. I didn't try them, but they have frozen and rocks margs that look delicious. Let me know! All in all, I'd return. Location is A+ and the food is C-. Honestly, I'd give it 2.5/3 Stars, but I don't want to get wait listed on a Yelp Elite event again for negativity! read more
