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.“

“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!“

“Miss Tino and Janie at the restaurant !! Alot of great times witha lot of good friends were had there !!“

“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!“

“I was practically raised on El Fenix and it will forever be my favorite for the finest Tex-Mex cuisine !! 🤘🏻🤘🏻“

“Went today for lunch about 2:30pm It wasn't to crowded that was a good thing Food was really good as always but the server had a really bad attitude His face was like he was angry!! Maybe not with us but he didn't do a good service. At the end we went to pay and his face was worse and he put the bill hitting hard the table . I totally understand that everyone has a bad day but if you work on this kind of job You can not treat customers like that Hope next time I visit the restaurant He'll not be my server“

“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!!“

When the food arrived, It was amazing. I had a three street tacos, different kinds and i'm looking forward to going again. Price was also very reasonable.And it was quiet so we could all talk and hear each other easily“

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

“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.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! Every time I come the food is just as fresh and good as it was the time before.
The servers are so nice, helpful and happy. I love the décor and the restaurants lay out. It is just an overall joy to have lunch or dinner at this place.
On this visit, I brought a friend who had never been before. We ordered the stuffed avocados, which never disappoint, and the brisket enchiladas. The brisket was so tender you could cut it with a fork.
Looking forward to my next visit to this wonderful restaurant.“

“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!“

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

“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! ❤️❤️“

“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 👌“

“pretty good food but a few concerns from looking back into the kitchen. One of the cooks tucked her hair behind her ear without a glove on and then reached down and touched some cooking tortillas without washing her hand. The fries tasted pretty oxidized and almost a little like sea food. still great food though.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“
