    Cali Taco
    Trang C.

    This is truly a hidden gem in dallas! I got the Cali Taco, which was loaded with seasoned meat, fries, and their signature sauce. I also ate the Cali Taco with their green sauce, which had a nice heat to it. The restaurant was very clean and quiet. I was the only table. My food came out quickly. Overall, I would give the cali taco a 8/10. I also got the chips and guac. The chips were very hot and fresh. The guac was very smooth, almost like a sauce. I would give it a 7.5/10. I will be coming back to this taco shop! Especially because it's open 24 hours.

    The food was good, and the portion sizes were, too. The service was also fine, a young guy took our order. The lack of stars comes from the lack of consistency across locations. My husband wasn't allowed to make a modification to his proteins on his fries that he is usually able to at other locations. Other than that, a pretty average experience. Restaurant seemed clean and quiet.

    Breakfast Burrito

    Had a yummy monster breakfast burrito shared with Tiki Hubby enough for two !! It was stuffed with fresh real scrambled eggs no liquid eggs here, cheese, bacon, ham, and sausage. It was delicious one of the best tortillas it was wrapped in.

    Can't believe that I've actually been here before but never left a review or any hype. Located just in the parking lot of Home Depot, Valerie's Taco Shop truly deserves all of the hype. I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito on this time around. It was quite a flavor bomb. It is a bang for your buck, definitely rolled tight and filled generously with Angus beef, guac, and salsa. The sauce bar is absolutely a must. I sampled the green, red, as well as the creamy habanero. The last one packs some serious heat but also is loaded with flavor so you should consider yourself warned. I ate inside and found out it was a counter service. They also serve alcoholic beverages and agua frescas. Definitely a must try.

    No way this is even close to 4 stars. Don't go. What a disaster. I should have known when I drove up. There was no one there. However, against my better judgement,my self talk justified moving ahead because of the Yelp stars. This is one of those occasions where I got it wrong using the Yelponator

    Workers were super cool. Food was a straight 10/10. The asada is good meat! Everything seemed fresh. You boys are solid!!!

    Dry Shredded beef quesadilla with hardly any cheese
    Kara N.

    First time here... ordered shredded beef quesadilla so my son can eat with as he loves cheese. The meat was dry and it was not a quesadilla! Hardly any cheese!!!! Had the guy ask me do I want everything in quesadilla... I said yes and that's what I got!!! Got the 4 oz rice and beans and they couldn't even fill up the rice... I liked the habanero sauce. The place itself is ok. Their sauce bar could use a bit of clean up.

    Ham Burrito.. this thing was huge, I had to use my arm for comparison LOL
    Sara J.

    The food here is delicious! Portions are huge and priced right. All the employees I've interacted with so far have been so nice as well.

    Just WOW! My search for the best Tex-Mex is over because…read morethis is the spot. I was greeted and sat immediately on entering and even at 12:30 with the place packed it was spotless. They brought a large basket of perfectly crispy, warm chips with salsa and took my order. I got the #15 lunch special which is your choice of two enchiladas (I got sour cream chicken), rice and beans. The food was served quickly and at the perfect temperature. My enchiladas were bursting with chicken and the sour cream sauce was the perfect compliment. The rice was excellent as well. Even the iced tea is great, and featured a legit lemon slice. They have a full bar which I'll be trying on my next visit and two large TVs set where you can see one or both from any seat in the dining room. I told my server she's going to get sick of seeing me because I'll be here at least twice a week! Service was excellent by the way. My tea was even refilled without having to ask.

We entered and no one says anything, lady came in after us waiting, shoving us to see if there is a list for waiting... like girl were the only two people in line. We got sat and the workers are very friendly, no problem there. Chips were good and came out crisp. I ordered the two taco plate. Taco shell was very stale, was very sad. The ground beef wasn't that good, chicken taco was better (surprisingly). Rice and beans were decent. Overall, didn't hate it here, but also not that great. There was a lot of people here and a lot of people waiting to be seated as well.

We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

    One of a few restaurants that I'll make frequent returns to and recommend to others. I have visited…read moreMena's for Tex Mex since 2018. I love that their service, regardless of day and time is very consistent. There dishes, salsas and chips have consistent quality and taste each visit. Drinks are great. I rarely have to ask for more drinks, salsa or chips. EVERYTHING I have tried on their menu is delicious. Recently went on a Friday for a 11 top bday party. Despite no reservations we were seated in under 15m I just love when restaurants stay consistent across their service and food quality.

    This was my second time visiting Mena's Grill, but my first time dining in and sitting at the bar…read more Customer service was excellent -- truly a 5 out of 5. The bartender was attentive, kind, and professional. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and you can tell they have loyal regulars, which always speaks well of a restaurant. The staff overall seemed consistent and friendly. Now for the food. I ordered the queso to start. The flavor was good, but it wasn't hot -- more lukewarm than fresh-out-the-kitchen warm. For my entrée, I had the skirt steak with beans, pico de gallo, enchilada, and rice. The flavors were solid, but again, the plate came out lukewarm. For a Tex-Mex spot, temperature really matters. I don't need it piping hot, but I do expect my food to feel freshly made and properly heated when it arrives. That was my only disappointment. I've ordered carryout before without issue, and because the service and vibe are strong, I will definitely be back to give it another try. I just hope next time the food comes out hot and fresh. Overall: great service, good flavors, strong local energy -- just room for improvement on food temperature.
