50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Plano

“Romelia was amazing. I am a handicap person and I didn't expect a wonderful person like her. When she was very busy with customers and she helped me to place my order. I LOVE HER... SHE IS VERY KIND AND HARD WORKING LADY. Thank you Romelia. Pilar.“

“Todoo, exquisito y muy hermoso lugar“

“I had a wonderful brunch experience at Mexican Sugar today! Despite the hot weather, my friend and I chose to sit on the patio so she could have her puppy with us. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We had two waiters, both of whom checked on us regularly, even though we were the only ones outside. One of them even brought water for the puppy, which was such a thoughtful touch. The manager also stopped by several times to make sure everything was perfect, and he was incredibly friendly. And let’s not forget the food—it was absolutely phenomenal! From the service to the cuisine, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend Mexican Sugar for a fantastic dining experience!“

“This was my first trip and first time wasn’t a line around the building, now I know why there always normally is. Went on a Sunday and was last booth in the building. The lines and seats all full is a great sign.
The service was extra extra great. On time, on point, and attentive. Margaritas top shelf is heaven. I had the tacos dinner, my date had shrimp cocktail. We also had cup of queso which I polished off today with some leftovers. Good food, great price, and find a place hard to get into everyday and you find a jewel right here.“

“I had a great experience on this restaurant.Our waiter, Mitchel was just awesome and provided a great service. we'll definitely come back and hopefully we'll get him as a server ten plus. Thank you so much. La pasamos muy bien gracias mitchel!!! 🙏“

“Went in for lunch today and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Riyah, our waitress, was outstanding. She was attentive, friendly, and clearly pays close attention to the details that matter. At one point my taco actually came out wrong, but Riyah caught it before it ever made it to the table and had it fixed right away. That kind of attention and care says a lot about the level of service she provides. We also had a great conversation with her, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Service like that is hard to find. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Riyah!“

“The food is outstanding, the owner is gracious, and everything we’ve tried is excellent. Our family loves to support small mom and pop businesses. Please check it out and support this wonderful locally owned restaurant!“

“We had the best service from Angel at MiCocina Lakeside Plano. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and even stayed late to close out our tab. Ask for him the next time you go!!“

“There’s a right way to make carne guisada, and it’s not rushed. It’s a process that demands patience, attention, and a kind of quiet devotion. The kind of devotion you find in someone who knows how to make sweet love—slowly, deliberately, exploring every layer until nothing is left untouched.
That’s exactly how this dish tasted.
The beef didn’t just fall apart; it surrendered. The gravy wasn’t simply seasoned; it was coaxed into depth, like someone whispering their way into a lover’s confidence. Every bite felt intentional, crafted by hands that understood restraint as well as indulgence. It was tender in all the ways that matter.
The only downside was the same one shared by every perfect moment of intimacy:
it had to end.“

“So good! I can not recommend this place enough. Love it.“

“The food and especially the cocktails are amazing ! went there last night with a few of my friends and just loved the Paneer Tacos! will definitely be going back again.“

“Great food. Fast friendly service. They hot 4 on the stars only because the shimp cocktail should have avocados. Just my opinion. Everything thing else from the beef tacos.and the spinach quesadillas to tamale pie was on point. Definitely going back.“

“I happened to come accross this place when browsing on Google for good Birria. Needless to say, I was impressed. Super friendly service as well. My 3 y.o. loved it and she can be very picky about meat. Of course we couldn't resist trying the churros and conchas displayed right behind the counter, sooo good!“

“I loved the atmosphere and customer service here , very attentive of there customers !“

“Update 3/15/2026

After submitting feedback, General Manager reached out personally and promptly. He asked thoughtful follow-up questions — requesting a description of the server and our seating location so he could review camera footage and identify exactly what happened. That level of diligence stood out.

When I provided the details, he responded with transparency and acknowledged it as a coaching moment, and was candid. He offered to mail a gift card and was notably respectful about privacy.

On returning to the restaurant several months later (again at lunch time) we found the food excellent as the first time and significantly better service. The gift card had some difficulty but I would recommend this restaurant and the responsiveness of management at this location.

Original Post:
We stopped in for lunch on Sunday, and the food was genuinely fantastic—fresh salsa, flavorful sauces on the tacos, great guacamole, and the standout: fresh-made tortillas and chips. The patio was also perfect for a fall afternoon: comfortable temperature, not too loud, and overall a great setting for a meal. They have a great kids menu of fun options. We were greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. The restaurant was busy but not 100% full.

Unfortunately, the table service was inexcusable and overshadowed what could have been an excellent experience. Our waiter disappeared for nearly 30 minutes after taking our drink orders, only delivering water to half the table before vanishing again because he ”couldn’t take our order yet”. The bartender eventually had to go search for him because he never returned. After prompting by the other restaurant staff he took our food order. The food arrived quickly and hot (delivered by kitchen staff not waiter) but several dishes were incorrect from what we ordered. Nothing major but chicken quesadilla came out as only cheese, no mushrooms on another dish came out with mushrooms. The server never returned so we just ate what came, my son actually like it. At no point did the waiter come back to check on us, no refills on water, or offer a second round of drinks.

The table next to us didn’t get any of the fresh made chips and salsa, which were delicious, so we shared our generous helping of two bowls for 4 people with them. Afraid they missed out on the salsa though.

The kitchen deserves praise, but the front-of-house service was the worst I’ve experienced in a decade of living in Dallas. With many great Tex-Mex and Mexican fusion options in the area, I beg you to go somewhere else… anywhere… for a restaurant owner this is the stuff of nightmares, front of house staff ruining your business.“

“We're from west Texas, living in Arizona. we know our "Mexican food". This was some of the best, the flavoring was just right. It was fast, hot and fresh. Please open one in Tucson!!!“

“Best Taqueria in town! Affordable, friendly staff and delicious food!“

“We loved Lalo’s Cocina! Everyone was so nice and helpful! The restaurant was experiencing a busier Saturday than they expected but our wait was minimal and the food was definitely worth it! 10/10 recommend the ceviche! And the fajitas were 👌“

“The No. 1 Ice Cream place in the Dallas area!“

“amazing food!!! Great atmosphere. friendly staff“

“Un restaurante de lo más deliciosa la comida un trato muy amable muy buena igiene.Simplemente uno de los también muy recomendados en plano.“

“They make a good double cheeseburger here it's got grilled onions a little bit of jalapeno it's always really tasty. Its cheap too with fries at under $11. The lady in the morning also makes great breakfast. I recommend you try the homemade food here.“

“Love these pla e everything was great IT IS UNDER NEW MANAGERMENT the new owner is very polite I will be recommending everyone to come dine in Tha k you El Tarasco“

“So the plan was to go to the Court Rd location but this was closed and I was hungry!
But, it was fantastic. A few more options but that red salsa hits! They have daily specials and it was worth every penny!
Bonus- ice cream machine in the lobby! ❤️❤️“

“I just pass tru legacy hall and I was trying to find good Mexican food and I found this place and try almost everything but those nachos are so so good, I really love this place for sure I comeback soon thanks te cashier Angie for being so nice“

“Mixed with a gas station isn’t always bad as long as your customer service is good and your food is delicious. The food in fact was just that, delicious however, they gave me the wrong food so I gave a 4 star. The lady taking my order although busy seemed to rush me through my order. Slow down and give better service to those who come in, make the service match the food and you can have an unstoppable brand.“

“Food took a little longer than expected but when it got to our table it was good and hot .. they are a little short handed and should hire someone to clean off tables since the girl that took our order was doing it all but over all it was a good experience“

“Great margaritas and awesome food“

“Delicious! The food is fresh and very tasty. Generous portions and reasonable prices make it all the better. My first visit, and I will definitely be back! I had the Mango Salad, vegetarian!“

“First time visiting and we are already planning our next visit. Everything we had was delicious! Tacos, hot dogs, the sides that come with them (rice, potatoes, grilled onions) were tasty and very flavorful.
Shout out to Michelle, with her kindness and smile made the visit even better 👍🏽
If you are in the area come and give them a try!“

“The place is inside a gas station with a few tables and chairs for dine-in. I was a bit shy at first because they only spoke Spanish and I was struggling to place my order but the food was worth it! It was $12 for a plate of 3 barbacoa tacos, rice, and beans. The green hot sauce was yummy too (not too hot)!“

“Great price and DELICIOUS food! I deliver beer here once a week, and every time I'm here the smells of this taqueria tantalize my senses. I haven't had a bad meal yet. We made the drive from Anna yesterday so my wife could try for the first time! DELICIOUS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!“

“great authentic food, very affordable“

“I found Taco Delite 🌮 and I think it is a very good option for Mexican food 🇲🇽 since you can find tamales 🫔 Burritos 🌯, toasts, salads, quesadillas, etc. I liked the horchata water, it has no lactose. The staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it 👏 Ciaooo eaters 😋😋
Long live Mexico Ca!

“Senor Locos Tex-Mex in Plano is by far one of the best places to eat in all of DFW - in my opinion. The food is outstanding, the service is great, the drinks are delicious. Overall, if I lived closer I'd be here almost every day!“
