“My husband and I discovered this wonderful new Mi Cocina location in McKinney. This restaurant has a fantastic dining area with high ceilings where you can relax and unwind. The food consists of great authentic Tex-Mex dishes. Even though our waiter made a mistake with my order, he is very polite and he apologized. All in all this is a good place to relax, enjoy good food at reasonable prices. We recommend everyone to come here.“
“So glad I tried this place. It is a food truck set up outside a gas station. There is a seating area as well specifically for the customers. I hit the Birria tacos and the steak nachos.Tacos- crunchy, cheesy, meaty, and tasty. I liked them without the consommé.Nachos- boy oh boy, were these loaded. I really just should have stuck with the nachos because the helping is more than generous. I just wanted to try both items at the same time. The ingredients were fresh. The meat was flavorful. I like the liquid cheese vs the baked on cheese. These nachos are fire ?I am looking forward to trying other items on the list. Service was also quick and customer friendly.“
“Had lunch on Sunday. Our waiter had a large table keeping him busy however he still found time to get our drinks out, refill drinks and keep us full of chips and salsa. Food came out fast and was tasty. Prices were reasonable. This place is being added to one of my go to from here on.“
“We were looking for authentic Mexican food, but came across this Tex-Mex restaurant instead. The food was delicious. When we arrived we did wait a little bit until a waiter showed up. But they were very attentive and the food was served fast too. The food could be Tex-Mex but it had a lot flavor.“
“UPDATE** After 300+ visits still my go to!!How can give Blue Goose 6 stars! After 250+ visits, they've been consistent in everyway. I've only seen 1 or 2 off days in 9 years! I can't say that about any other place. Thank You Blue Goose!!“
“We have been here a few time now. So far we have enjoyed all of the food. We personally have focused more on the seafood like fish tacos, ceviche, and augachilies. Each has been very good, the tortilla chips that come with certains dishes are top notch and not the super thin ones you get at other places.The place itself, not much to say beyond it is a comfortable place to go for a quick meal. The ladies working there have always been very friendly and helpful.We will definitely keep going back. My only wish is we had started coming here sooner.“
“Been going to Dillas since their only location opened was the one in Plano. It's fresh and tasty. I can't remember a week I haven't gone lately in the past years, at least me or my husband go once a week. The hot hatch is where it's at and the chips and queso. The fires are good too. You can get any Dilla as a salad too. They also have fresh brewed sweet and unsweet tea and lemonade. We always said this place would take off and it is and I am so happy for them that they have grown so much over the years.Good food. Great people. It won't be long before you will be able to find a Dilla anywhere you go!“
“We hired Fresh Mex for a neighborhood event and it was GREAT! They were prompt and professional, booking was a breeze. Delicious easy menu that was quick to order and came out fast. Everything was so delicious, I especially liked the hibiscus tea. Would love to work with them again!“
“We have been eating here since they opened a few years ago. Nothing has changed: the food is fresh and full of flavor. The staff are excellent and they keep the restaurant clean. Save room for ice cream -- they make their own ice cream in a variety of flsvors. Taco Tuesday is my favorite -- $2 tacos.“
“Great outside patio for nice days. We had an excellent and friendly server for lunch on a Saturday. The salsa which accompanies the free chips was delicious and not spicy. The kids menu was all right, although my son only ate the fries standard fare Tex mex as far as entrees go, but the service was what stood out. Don’t sleep on the chocolates and sweets at the front!“
“The prices are really great, especially for the size of food they give. I felt like I went back in time with these prices. A pupusa was just $2.50, but it's a good, healthy size and the quality of it was like something you'd find for at least 3 times the cost and half the size anywhere in the city. This is definitely worth the side trip to get to them. I think I've found my new favorite little hole in the wall hidden restaurant.“
“Four reasons it's perfectly worth paying $4 for breakfast tacos.1. The portions are big and generous2. The flavor is authentic to its Mexican orgin3. The staff are so courteous and accommodating4. The establishment is so clean inside and outThis may look like a fast food joint from the outside but it's totally fresh food! The green salsa is ? ? and the horchata is super taste. So glad I stopped by. I got two tacos and couldn't even finish the second one cause I was so full off the first. Thanks for being here you guys. You started my morning off so tastely ????“
“The tacos are $3-$4 but they are big and super loaded. It's not just meat and tortilla, it's a diff region of mexico style. I loved their salsas and their tortillas were perfect. Tried: Taco del Norte, Taco del Sur, and Campechano.“
“Jalapeños Mexican Grill in McKinney is a true gem for anyone seeking authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine at an unbeatable price. My experiences dining here have been consistently delightful, thanks in no small part to the welcoming atmosphere and the exceptional service provided by our regular server, who also happens to be the bartender. Their attentiveness and friendliness enhance the dining experience, making each visit memorable.“
“This is a no-frills type of restaurant without any elaborate decor. Nevertheless, you can get great food at very reasonable prices here! The lunch specials are worth taking a look at. The complimentary chips and salsa/bean dip were also very good! Regarding the entrees, the food was served hot and tasted good overall.Service was always very attentive and prompt! I've eaten in the restaurant and ordered to-go food on different occasions, and have been pleasantly surprised by how quick this restaurant has the food ready. Will definitely be back next time!“
“We came across Mr. Tako when driving to another place, we looked them up and went there that same day because we had to try them. We only tried the Asada Fries this time and man were they good. The lady taking our order was soo nice, she let my husband taste 2 of the drinks to make sure he liked them before buying them. We will be back to try more good.“
“Great first visit to Ernesto’s last night! Our server Edgar was prompt, attentive and friendly. He made good suggestions on food and drink. We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday and had four adults and four kids there. The overall value of the meal was very high with the bill being just under $200 including two appetizers and 2-3 margaritas for each adult.“
“Amazing good food! The menu is like no other 'Mexican' food place I've been to. They have things which I had never eaten before, which is unusual for me. Not a single one of them that I did not like, and almost all of them I loved.“
“So tasty!! And the lady that helped us was super nice. I can't stress enough how good the food is here. From the tacos to the sauces, everything is delicious. You definitely get a lot of food for your money as well. This was my first time here, but I will definitely be back. By far my favorite taco spot I've tried in this area, and I've been to a few out here.“
“Visiting family in the area and they took us here for lunch. It was excellent. They brought us out some samples of new items they were working on and they were great. This hot salsa/pico thing was amazing. Everything we ordered was top notch. I gave in and got some tres leches...some of the best I've ever had. Actually, it was the best I've ever had. Definitely check them out if you're in the area. They are definitely on our list for repeat business when we go back for visits.“
“My first visit to Petras was amazing! The service was exceptional. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and courteous. The drink order/chips and salsa came out incredibly fast as did the meals. I would highly recommend the Sour Cream Enchiladas. They were really good as was the beans and rice. Petras is easily 5 stars and a place to take friends or family.“
“Counter service with friendly crew.I'm so full,but can't stop eating!!Carnitas taco was full of moist delicious meat in very fresh tortilla.The grilled shrimp taco was also fresh and filled all the way.Was super hungry and forgot to take a picture.Good reason to make a return trip!!“

The atmosphere buzzes with a lively spirit, matched by five-star service that makes every guest feel like family.

Overall, El Mejor gets a glowing 5-star rating, with its culinary prowess shining through every gluten-free bite. A must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Mexican cuisine served with a generous helping of hospitality.Dietary restrictions: Gluten freeGFGluten“
“Very authentic food. The place is small but the friendly staff more than make up for it. The prices are reasonable. I was very impressed by the cleanliness. If the bathroom is dirty - I won't eat there. As I believe there's a direct correlation to the cleanliness of the kitchen. We will be back.“
“Ocho Taco located in McKinney,TX (Just south of the intersection of Eldorado and Custer) has become my favorite spot to feed my hunger for Mexican and Latin food ? ?. This gem opened in July 2021 and offers specials for “Taco Tuesday”, brunch on the weekends, vegan tacos, and occasional live music with patio dining. If you enjoy a good Margaritas when you dine, then they also offer a variety of adult beverages.BE YE WARNED, if you show up hungry take it 2 tacos ? at a time, because the portions deliciously large and they currently offer house-made chips and salsa. Prices are on point too, offer a great value for amazing food and ambianceWhether you choose to enjoy their Mexican/industrial themed dine in experience or order online “To Go”, Ocho Taco McKinney did not disappoint.Vegetarian options: The Vegan Tacos ? are sooo good ? they made The Dallas Morning News.Parking: Large parking lot in a shopping center makes finding a place simple and convenient.Kid-friendliness: Ocho Taco has a kids menu section with delivers the same outstanding quality and taste, but in smaller portions.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking with ramps easily accessible.“
“It's something to be said about going to dinner on a Saturday evening and not having to wait 45 mins-1 hour! I'm too hungry to wait lol. We arrived to a crowd in the lobby and was told that it would be a 15 minute wait and I was pleased when it ended up being less than the quoted time. Our server was personable and efficient. I ordered Chile con queso for the appetizer, birria tacos for myself, chicken fajitas for my partner, and a top shelf margarita. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long at all after ordering. The chicken on the chicken fajitas was seasoned well. The Chile con queso was decent, I'm sure the one with ground beef in it would've been better. My only complaint is that my drink wasn't good and I expected better from a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant was nice and clean. I'll be back for those birria tacos and excellent service!“
“Me & my family came by and got 2 dozens of the red pork tamales, omg we really enjoyed them , very very good kinda reminded me of back home. Great service called in the order a day before thanksgiving next morning the tamales were hot and ready and very delicious! Thank you for your delicious cooking! Will be coming again soon.“
“Great food for a very good price. I ordered the Pechuga Primavera and my wife ordered the Salmon a la Parrilla. Both dishes were very tasty and full of flavor.The meal starts with chips and salsa. Good chips and a medium spicy salsa. We skipped the appetizers since there were just 2 of us. I also did not order drinks because I noticed soda comes by the can and didn't want to pay for each can on my refills. We stuck with water. Tea or lemonade wouldn't be a bad option.The Mexican rice was flavorful and complimented the meals well. My chicken and veggies meal comes with tortillas, so in essence you are eating chicken and veggie fajitas (sort of).Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.I would come back here if some friends invited us to join them. It was very good, but not great. It is certainly worth a trip for a good meal. With such a huge variety of Mexican restaurants in Collin County, there are several other places that make the list ahead of Anamia's. Good food for sure, and I hope to be back another time for a different entree, but still not ahead of places like Christina's, Blue Goose, or Gloria's.“
“Taco Tuesday here is a must! It's great that they have liquor here too, but the tacos are the main reason I keep coming back! The green and red salsas are spicy and the $1.25 tacos on Taco Tuesday taste fresh and delicious! They have a drive thru which came in handy when it was raining!“
“This is always my to go place to pick up dinner, flavor is always there, I’ll go for the green salsa alone. Staff is always friendly, service sometimes is slow but is understandable since chickens have to be cooking for hours. I also recommend catering for parties, i did it for my son’s party and was super easy, yummy and cost efficient.“
