    wanted to try out a new mexican place, and saw this place with high reviews on yelp... glad we stopped by. Honestly, when i was driving here i was like, its so random driving this far from the main street. Anyways, we ended up getting two taco burritos and one regular burrito. Both items were great, and we didn't have to wait that long for them to get the food to us. We didn't each here, and actually ordered to go. What i really like about this place is the salsa bar, which they put everything into small containers. Its really easy to get what you want and not make a mess. As for the food, the breakfast tacos were on point. Whatever they used for the tortilla made the tacos extremely tasty. For the tacos, we decided on the bacon and the chorizo. The tacos also came with some fried eggs. The burrito was filling and for the price paid, it's a good deal. They also sell some Mexican snacks near the front of the cash register.

    For a basic taqueria this place rocks. Lunch specials. Breakfast options. Friendly service. Fresh salsas. Two uncooked fresh one cooked. Fresh drinks. Every meal grilled up on order. This is a clean and top quality option.

    fresh & authentic & dairy-free horchata made from ground rice every morning

    The register & order taking lady was very friendly. She explained everything that comes inside the Barbacoa Burrito (meat, beans, rice) & offered extras. She also described how the Horchata is made from scratch every morning from ground rice & is dairy free. The Horchata was delicious ! It's so rare to be able to buy authentic horchata without the powder or milk added. The burrito was amazing as well ! The barbacoa was so tender & juicy. There was also a salsa bar with various green, red, and pico toppings. The location seems slightly sketch being next to a convenience store & laundromat, but I felt very safe. My food was also served very quickly for a take-out orderdespite many people being at the restaurant. This family-owned Mexican restaurant is one of the best I have been to in the DFW area. I will definitely be coming back when I am in this area!

    Bacon Egg & potato breakfast burrito

    Tbh I was skeptical about this place because of the reviews. I ended up getting a bacon, egg & potato breakfast burrito and it was delicious! Honestly it tasted homemade! The eggs tasted fresh and the bacon was thick. Both of the salsa's had great flavor.

    Sopa de marisco

    Great service and very friendly staff. We ordered the Friday special - sopa de marisco. Full of shrimp, fish, carrots, rice, and potatoes. The lady recommended their chicken, it looked really beautifully prepared. Glad they are so close in the neighborhood.

    Taco de Barbacoa

    I've come here a couple of times and to be honest I'm just not impressed. It was a convenient stop because it's close to home, but both times I was overwhelmed. I've only tried their carne asada and barbacoa street tacos. I guess you can say they're TRYING to be safe during COVID. They have the condiments individually packaged in containers that you can grab on your way out or while dining in, buuuuut the meats are uncovered behind the glass, buffet style. I tried the Jamaica but it was more of an artificial flavored mix. I like the real deal. The dining area is spacious with plenty of seating, but I rarely see people dining in. Probably not coming back, I don't think the 3rd time will be the charm.

    Al Pastor Tacos

    This is definitely one of the better taco spots I've been to in DFW. Prices are very reasonable and quality of the food is good for what you're paying for. The people here are friendly and they seem to have a reasonable stream of business during the usual eating hours for lunch despite being hidden away from the main highway. The salsas are spicy and delicious. I tried the red and the green, not knowing which one was spicier. Turns out both were packing heat. The establishment is very straightforward, you order the food you want and pick it up then dress it with whatever sauces and accoutrements you'd like from their small station to the right of the food pickup area. Al Pastor Tacos - Tacos were simple and delicious. The al pastor wasn't too dry and the corn tortillas were tasty. Carne Asada Tacos - The carne asada was cooked through yet still had some juice to it. Very tasty. All in all, a great place to get a quick bite to eat at a very reasonable price. Solid tacos and sauces to go along with it. Friendly staff and quick service.

    The breakfast burritos and tacos here are excellent! Your food is prepared right in front of you and the service is always friendly and prompt. The restaurant is always clean and the food is fresh and tastes great. The breakfast burritos are filling and seasoned perfectly. Their homemade salsas are the icing on the cake! Their street tacos are also excellent and the meat is tender and delicious. If you're ever in the area, I recommend you give this hidden gem a try. You won't regret it

    The best cokes!

I had…read moreheard several people talking about Mi Dia From Scratch, so I decided it was finally time to see what all the buzz was about. I arrived during the lunch rush, and both the parking lot and the restaurant were packed. Even though they were extremely busy, we were immediately greeted by a courteous and polite young man who quickly escorted us to a booth. We were seated in Ms. Maria's section, and she was a wonderful server. She greeted us with a warm smile, brought us menus along with the lunch menu, chips and salsa, and promptly served our water. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and was friendly, attentive, and very courteous throughout our meal. The chips and salsa were very good. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa without cilantro for those who prefer it. We ordered the Create Your Own Combo Plate, which included a chicken flauta, a crispy taco, rice, and refried beans topped with cheese for $15.50. The taco was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, while the chicken flauta was covered in a flavorful red chile sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The rice and refried beans were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal well. We also ordered the chimichanga, smothered in cheese sauce and served with rice and refried beans, for $16.00. It was well seasoned, delicious, and satisfying. The flavors weren't overpowering--they were balanced and enjoyable, making it a dish I would gladly order again. This was my first visit to Mi Dia From Scratch, and I came away very impressed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant also offers a nice outdoor seating area. Between the excellent service and flavorful food, I will definitely be back. I hope you'll give it a try too!

    Wow! They really do have great and fresh food here! I greatly appreciate the New Mexican flavors…read moreand use of green chile in their salsa. Upon ordering, you get a a basket of chips with the red and green salsa. I had the hatch tacos and they were AMAZING. The meat was cooked to perfection and had great flavor in terms of seasoning. The bartender was very kind and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean. Their use of fresh herbs infuses the restaurant with a wonderful and pleasing scent. This place is a mass that you have not tried it!!!

I ordered the taco plate with 3 carne asada tacos and my son got the same with chicken. We got them the traditional way with onions and cilantro. The meat was cooked perfectly and there was no gristle or fat on it. I also appreciated that the onions were grilled, which gives the tacos a richer flavor. The only meh item was the beans which lacked any flavor and were pretty thin. They brought fresh chips and salsa while we waited and generously refilled it after our entrees arrived. I don't know if they offer full service now because I didn't see anyone go to the cashier to pay. I asked for the check and it was brought to the table. The interior of the restaurant is very traditionally Mexican. The ambiance is more taqueria than sit down restaurant. The booths are comfortable, but worn. The place is a bit dingy, which didn't bother me. I will definitely be bringing the rest of my family here for an inexpensive and tasty meal.
