How have I not rated Sueño before? I feel so lucky it's nearby because I would travel far to sit at the bar and bask in their ridiculously good service, cocktails and food. The service is CRAZY good. And if you're lucky enough to find a spot at the bar, you're in for an even better drink/food journey. Favorites: the carne asade and seafood chile relleno (w/Serrano queso). If your dining mate will split these two dishes with you, you're going to have the perfect meal. All their drinks are good, but among my favorites are the Mezcalita and La Diabla. If you're unsure, you can share your liquor/cocktail preference and the bartenders will serve you something delicious. Also, if you like things spicy, they have a creamy green salsa that is . You just have to ask. I can't wait to try their new location (mostly because I want to see how some of my favorite bartenders are doing over there). Sueño deserves all the success because they truly care about your experience from start to finish. Which reminds me, get the churros if you save room. read more

Dinner with friends. Surprisingly crowded for a Monday. No valet on Monday which made parking a challenge but not impossible. Love they now take reservations. Only problem with their success is that it gets really loud and harder to have a conversation. Began with the white queso which is so tasty. Love the chips, salsa, and spicy yellow pepper sauce. The shrimp nachos and chicken fajitas were outstanding! read more

The food was on point...guacamole with pork belly...yes please! We shared GRILLED FIRE FAJITAS A LA PARRILLA with pollo, sirloin and pork belly. The chips and sauce were perfect...the food and service were spot on...thanks Kevin! The restaurant's focal point was the bar, just amazing...but the place was packed and SO loud...not relaxing, but the food and drink made up for it...don't go if you want to sip a drink and talk...but if you want amazing food, you found a gem! read more

I've been side-eyeing this place since it opened and finally made it in today... and okayyy, I see you. Very cute, modern, "I'm a little fancy but still approachable" kind of vibe. The type of place where you accidentally order more than you planned because everything sounds so good. Chips? Meh for me. My friend? Obsessed. So clearly, I'm the problem Salsa situation was interesting--the orange one looks like it's about to ruin your life, but plot twist... it's actually sweeter than the red one. We were confused. My friend had to order the real spicy salsa for an extra $2, and THAT one came to fight She handled it like nothing... meanwhile I was like "I'll just watch from here." Chicken tortilla soup? Ohhh she's the moment. Warm, comforting, no notes. I would come back just for that. Ordered the birria taco too--very good, but I got full real quick (that soup did its job), so it became a to-go situation. The cilantro lime rice was okay... not life-changing. My friend's Spanish rice with her bacon-wrapped camarones though? She said it was better, so now I have food envy. Price-wise--yeah, it's higher than your usual Mexican spot, but you're paying for the vibe, the plating, the whole experience The menu isn't huge, but everything sounds so good it's honestly dangerous. Would I come back? Yes. Would I order the soup again? Immediately. Would I pretend I can handle spicy next time? Absolutely not read more

I really wanted to like this place. I went twice over the last few months and just felt it was lacking. The service was good, ambiance was okay for the space. The food was fine. I don't have any one big complaint. It just doesn't really hit with me when I'm looking for this type of cuisine. We went for the cocktail program. It's pretty standard for what you pay nowadays. I'm short, this place is average at the price point. I can't think of a scenario where we would be coming back unless someone invited me for a birthday or something. read more

We came to Sueño Coctelería Mexicana on a Friday around 6 pm, and just a heads up--the valet was already pretty backed up at that time, so plan accordingly. The staff was awesome and super welcoming, and it was cool to hear they're from Mexico City--it definitely shows in the vibe and service. Food-wise, we tried the tacos de birria and tacos al pastor. The al pastor meat was really good--great flavor--but the tortillas were honestly a letdown since they tasted store-bought. That kind of takes away from what could've been a top-tier taco. On the plus side, their liquor and cocktail selection is amazing--definitely one of the highlights of the place. The rice and beans were also really solid, and the birria tacos were good overall. Only downside to the vibe... no Chente playing, which was a little disappointing. Overall, it's a great spot for drinks and a fun atmosphere, with some strong food items--but there's definitely room for improvement with the tortillas. read more

Coctails are great tasting but not sure if they are worth the money as they were very juice forward without any hint of tequila flavor. Came around 4pm on a Saturday and was one of a only a few customers. Servers were great and very friendly. Ordered the stacked enchiladas to go-- note, the rice and beans are in the stack. The egg was unseasoned but otherwise good. Did not feel this was a good value, most of their menu items are very overpriced read more

Came here with some friends to have a fun dinner and catch up. The ambiance is ok, the food and drinks are ok, but the service was friendly. Overall not a spot I'd recommend. read more

Service was wonderful! Food was not good. My salmon was dry and overcooked, the seared chicken was cold and not sure it ever saw a sear - more like a boil. Other guests had chicken/beef fajitas and enchiladas suize - neither guest ate more than 1/2 of their meal saying it was mediocre. We had both desserts. Nothing great. Guacamole and queso was very good. Tables are too small. 4 people, 4 waters, 3 cocktails, 2 appetizers, chips and salsas...and then 4 meals on oversized plates - our plates were hanging off the table. We had to keep rearranging our table. The chairs were stained and torn like it was used furniture. read more

The food is very good and fresh. The margaritas are so yummy. I tried multiple types. They make their own tajin too!!! Our server was very attentive even though she was extremely busy she always checked in on us. I enjoyed everything about this place. Can't wait until it warms up and we can sit on the patio. Will definitely be a new favorite!!!! read more

Been dying to try this place and it did not disappoint. I love the authenticity and creativity Sueño offers, fusing traditional Mexican dishes and hospitality with modern presentation and unique flavors. Ceviche and Pork/chicharron appetizers were both terrific. read more

If you're craving deeply flavorful, house-made mole poblano, the Enchiladas de Mole at Sueño are a standout choice that captures the essence of what makes this modern Mexican spot in Richardson so special. They take tender chicken enchiladas and generously blanket them in a rich, complex mole sauce that's prepared fresh each morning with the traditional ritual of toasting, grinding, and simmering spices, chiles, nuts, and chocolate. The result is a sauce that's bold yet balanced--savory and earthy with subtle sweetness, a gentle heat, and layers of depth that coat the soft corn tortillas and juicy shredded chicken beautifully. It's served alongside black beans (frijoles negros) and rice, creating a satisfying plate that's comforting and elevated at the same time. Many diners describe it as mouthwatering, excellent, and one of the best takes on chicken mole enchiladas around, with the sauce often stealing the show for its authenticity and flavor harmony. At around $20, it's a solid value for the quality and portion. The restaurant itself nails that perfect blend of modern Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican cuisine in a warm, inviting atmosphere. The space feels trendy yet welcoming--dim lighting at dinner for a cozy vibe or bright and airy during brunch--with friendly, attentive service that makes you feel like family. Reviewers consistently rave about how the staff is knowledgeable, helpful with suggestions, and genuinely happy to serve. Cocktails are a highlight (fresh, creative, and perfectly paired with the food), and the overall menu shines with other standouts like birria stacked enchiladas, tacos de camaron, short rib tacos, fajitas, and coastal-inspired dishes, but the mole enchiladas remain a classic favorite for those seeking traditional depth with a polished twist. read more

We love it here, but our last visit left us looking for the usual service and food standard we are used to. We came for our 20th anniversary and didn't really have that recognized. (We did add that information to our reservation.) We usually go to Perry's but decided to celebrate here this year. Well the ceviche was different and very fishy this time and I was surprised to see the Tiradito de Camaro still had the vein in their shrimp! Our meals were great besides that. We will find a different place for our next special occasion. read more

Came here to celebrate our friends birthday and enjoyed the food. The tamarind margarita is a must have, it was absolutely delicious. Their ceviche and aguachile were both delicious. The seafood dishes were delicious and the fish were cooked perfectly. Service was good and they an accommodate large groups but space is limited and you're literally packed in like sardines. They sat un by a wall display of tequila bottles and we kept hitting the display because the table was pushed so far back. read more

It's a good place to visit. I come once a year when I visit family. However unlike California, when we say no rice, they won't let you sub for something else. For $26 salmon, see my photo, it's a little sad. Great salsa. Chips are ok for me. You also have to valet if you want parking right in front which seems silly. Overall, worth a try. read more

The inside of the restaurant was clean and had cute decor. The tables had little lamps on them. Loved their chicken tortilla soup. It had so much flavor and the chicken was so tender. The steak fajitas were a let down. Meat lacked seasoning. I still want to go back and try other things. Service was outstanding. Their brunch menu looks delicious! read more

We had an incredible night at the bar at Sueño in Richardson. Marco and his bar team absolutely crushed it, they all just exude genuine hospitality with great energy, and perfect pacing all night. Every drink we had was spot on, we just had to tell them what flavors we liked and they took over and nailed it. The food matched the drinks super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented (the Tacos de Camarón and Aguachile de Camarón were standouts). It's rare to find a spot that nails both the cocktails and the food, but Sueño does exactly that. You can tell they care about quality and service from top to bottom. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar and you'll be well taken care of. read more

We were hoping to find a gem for my husband's 30th birthday and Sueno more than delivered! You HAVE to come here if you love craft fresh fruit cocktails and fresh, beautifully plated Mexican food. Our drinks were strong but well balanced and sweet like I like it. The best part of our experience was our server, Jasmine. She was the sweetest and made our day so much special - she gave me a sample of the soup I ended up getting- so scrumptious, checked on us often (all the staff were great too) and she brought out a yummy tres leches cake. I can't wait to come back and try more drinks! The inside is such a vibe! I wish this family business the best success. I heard they are opening a new location in university park and people love this place bc when we left it was packed! So get in here while you can! read more

This meal was a dream, to say the least. Multiple apps, all hit it out of the park. Fundido is perfect. Pork Belly Chicharron made us all speechless. Literally one of the best bites all of us have had. Dessert- shared Trea Leches and Churros. Face melting. How do they make Churros have that texture? Why can't I eat this at every meals? Cocktails? My goodness. Like a waking dream. 11/10. No notes. Will be back every time I come to town. read more

There are a thousand tex-mex spots in Dallas to go to, so you can definitely skip this one. The biggest issue here is the service. Our server was nice, but it was a full 15 mins before he even showed up at our table to say hi and take drink orders (we were seated right at 7:30, so it ended up being pretty easy to keep track of how long everything took). Another ten mins went by before we were able to ask our waiter again about our drinks. They came another 5 mins after that (30 mins after sitting down) with our appetizers. He took our food order then came back 10 mins after that to ask my friend what he had ordered because he forgot. Another 15 mins later our food arrived (about an hour after sitting down). The food itself was just fine. The queso appetizer had that weird gloopy cornstarch texture (see pic). The guacamole was just guacamole. Both lacked salt. My enchiladas were fine. The cheese on top had that weird plastic texture of fake cheese (see pic). The reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of just 1 is because my friends really liked their food: birria tacos and seafood chili relleno. Shout out to the valet guy too. He was so nice and very fast and worked his butt off! read more

I was in town and meeting up with the cousins who frequent Sueno. I was pleasantly surprised by the setting and immediate service. Each server was so happy to be of assistance and made excellent suggestions. I had the shrimp tacos and also tried a birria taco. Both were really great and full of flavor. The highlights were the chips and salsa and churros. I've never had such delicious churros. Don't miss them. They also do a smoking Old Fashion that is impressive. If you're with an Old Fashion lover, get it just for the show! Also Christian came by at the end and was awesome! read more

Amazing! From the second you walk in you feel taken care of. I first saw this place on Instagram and it took me way too long to check it out. The service was attentive and every time I've been it has been pretty busy! Have to give a shout out to the birria tacos and the house margaritas. Perfect marg for $10 is a steal! They have a cute bar area and TVs for watching the game. Great spot for a weekend date night or weeknight catchup with friends. read more

I honestly can't say enough about Sueño. My first visit there was to celebrate my 50th Birthday with my husband and daughter (who is a regular there) and I had the best night. The service from start to finish was 10/10. Our sever Allan was great, along with the manger who made a visit to our table after the wrong dish was prepared for me. We were able to chat with him again upon leaving and he was honestly one of the best managers we've ever encountered. The ambiance is quaint and clean. I'm looking forward to our return very soon! read more

This place has been drawing a crowd ever since they first opened up. So much so in fact that we have always said, "let's try that place sometime". Tonight we finally tried them, and are we ever glad we did! We had a party of eleven and did not have reservations because the place we originally had reservations at had to close due to an unexpected problem. This place, although busy, got us right in and that was just the beginning of the great service we got here. The food here was really good too. I got the Shrimp Tacos, but also in our party, we ordered Queso, Guacamole, Nachos, Brisket Tacos, Steak, Quesadillas, Steak, and Flautas. Everyone was very happy with everything we ordered. For dessert, we got the Tres Leches , and Churros. Those were delicious as well! Great experience and we will definitely be back! read more

The reviews were RIGHT! My friend picked this place due to high star reviews and it was well worth it. This place is super cocktails savvy, great drinks overall. Valet, if needed but we just parked around the parking lot. The churros are the literally the best I've had period. We ordered the ceviche, birria entree, and steak & chicken fajitas (I wouldn't reorder this dish - the cuts were really thin and kinda dry, just didn't speak to me in terms of the essence of a fajita - no sizzling cast iron) I can't wait to try their other options! read more

Went here for dinner with a friend and we ordered the Tacos De Birria and the Birria Stacked Enchiladas.

We enjoyed what we ordered - both dishes were extremely flavorful and filling. Even though it was packed when we got there, we didn't have to wait too long to get our food and customer service was great. read more

If Yelp would let me do half stars this place would easily be 4.5! Their food is absolutely delicious. We got to the guacamole to start, mango juice, the carne asada, the chicken breast and churros for dessert. Everything is cooked, seasoned and made perfectly! The restaurant itself is really nice, they do a great job of creating an upscale atmosphere. The 3 things that I would change that drop it from a 5 star review are: 1. It's a personal preference but I don't like coke cans, especially not warm ones (even with ice). Fountain drinks taste better AND refills tend to be included. At the very least I wish they would have the cans refrigerated. 2. The service, while great in terms of making recommendations and being friendly, was a little bit slow. It took us a lot time to get the appetizer and then longer to the get the food and then the dessert took like 30 mins. The waiter did admit that there had been mix up (we never found out what exactly) but the reality is that everything, including the drinks took longer than what I am used to. 3. I want to start by saying I understand everything is expensive. That's just today's economy. But I do feel that for $40 the carne asada was a little pricey. I do feel that the $40 would be justified if they did something as simple as adding rice. The plate just felt kind of small in comparison to very similar restaurants (ie Mexican sugar or Vidorra). Still this isn't necessarily what would stop me because the food was cooked so well. Overall, I will absolutely be returning! I just need to be sure I allot enough time. read more

The strawberry kiwi agua fresca is a must try! I also enjoyed how spicy the salsa that came with my tacos were. My friend got the chicken enchiladas which were also flavorful. Our food came out quickly, and our server was very attentive. Fun ambiance inside that's perfect for happy hour or dinner! read more

Had been wanting to try this place, but my husband always wants to go to his "tried & true" places; this time his restaurant was closed, so he agreed to try Sueno ... and we were BOTH glad we did. We did not have a cocktail this time, although they seem to be know for their drinks. The prices are a bit high, so we'll come back another time and splurge. We had the Birria Tacos ... we weregoing to order the brisket tacos, but our server Allen recommended the Birria tacos. They were amazing!!! We will be back because my husband has a new tried & true place read more

Normally I would rate this place easy 5 stars however this is the first time me and my friends have been disappointed with the drinks and food. We have been going here for years as our go to favorite place but now with all the changes with the quality of the food and drinks I'm not sure how much we will be going back now. The cocktails we ordered didn't taste like they had any alcohol in them whatsoever just drinking juice, highly disappointed. Been drinking their Palomas for a while and that has gone downhill. The food: we all got the chile relleno which was a menu favorite for us however this dish is not up to par at all with how it used to taste. Instead of big juicy shrimp we got tiny bits of shrimp and now it has bits of scallops as well. The side of black beans and plain white rice was very underwhelming. They took away the cilantro lime rice which was so good. I know there is a new focus of the new location that will be opening up but it seems like this place is definitely taking a hit now due to this. I hope they get things back up to the standards they had before. Really miss the staff that was here before as it seems most of the staff here are all new. read more

First time was excellent. Loved the bacon wrapped shrimp. Delicious! But, it was taken off the menu so I tried the chicken enchiladas. They were good but the portion size was a joke, especially for the price. Had to fill up on chips to get full, and I eat normal. Also, iced tea is my wine and their tea is like drinking water. Hope you bring back the bacon wrapped shrimp. These portions will not keep you going. Hope it improves. read more

I was very pleased with this restaurant! My experience started with a staff opening the door for us. A++! I brought my daughter-in-law here tonight for her 30th birthday and everything was on point. The service was exceptional. The drink presentations were beautiful. I was impressed every time a staff member walked by with a cocktail on a serving tray. A lot of thought went into the drink menu. The food was delicious. I had the brisket tacos. It came with 3 tacos, slaw (I did not eat) and a small ramekin of beans. Chips and salsa were delicious as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. Every seat at the bar was taken and the restaurant was pretty full for a Monday night. Decor in the restaurant was perfect. I will be back! (This restaurant is already pinned on my maps.) Class act across the board. Thank you for a wonderful experience for a very special occasion. read more
