    Had an amazing time. We had a big group that didn't mind sitting all over the restaurant to get tables since we did not book beforehand. Their staff was very polite and accommodating. We will go there again.

    Everything was excellent except, as usual, it was very loud. We started with the guacamole which I think is the best in the city. My friend had never been there and she agreed that it was among the best she had ever had. Margaritas were perfect and generous. I had my favorite - the Ox Eyes with an over easy egg. I am from the El Paso - Albuquerque area and this dish especially reminds me of the great Southwest cooking in that area. My friend had the variety plate with the taco & chicken enchilada. She felt it was terrific. Needless to say with the generous amount of food served we both took boxes home for the next day. I ordered the churros for dessert so she could taste them. They are better than the average churro and are served with chocolate dipping sauce and ice cream. I have to admit I can’t do a bad review of this restaurant because it is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the DFW area - so I am biased.

    Many visits here, this was the most lively and crowded due to National Margarita Day. Our server was excellent and unruffled by the loud party atmosphere. We had table side margaritas which was a fun touch. The squash blossom quesadillas are the best, the enchiladas were great! The pork chop was so-so not much seasoning but overall always a great experience. Our go to spot in Plano for fresh Mexican food.

    Anyone who has been to Cabo or PVR has tasted the greatness that is a Birria Taco. This place takes it up a notch .... they offer queso birria which just might be a little bit of heaven with a cup of sauce for dipping. Even our picky eater loves the queso birria taco. Bonus ... the fries covered in queso with steak bites. Service was spot on and ready with a drink refill before we even asked. Highly recommend!
