50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near The Colony

“The is lady was our server at the bar area on my wife’s Birthday in the colony. she was amazing ! great service I highly recommend this Micocina.“

“This is one of our favorite taquerias to visit. Food is always delicious and served hot and fresh. This time I had the tacos al carbon (combo steak and chicken) and our son always tackles the one pound burrito. My plate came with 3 tacos, rice, refried beans, pico, guacamole and sour cream. For only $13, this plate is a bargain!“

“Earned 4 stars for the food today. A couple of service hiccups but hey,it's Cinco de Mayo so Fo Gid Aboud Id! While Abuelos is rarely my go to for Tex Mex, occasionally I do stop by for a decent meal. They've improved immensely over their decline a few years ago. Drinks Decent Enchiladas Good Tortillas chicken soup surprisingly good Prices inline Environment Attractive Go!“

“Last night was our first time trying Angelina's. We just moved to the area, and have been trying different local options the city has. Upon entering we were met by Chris at the front - if you ever go to Angelina's please ask for him. He is such a lovely person. He truly made our experience top notch! We had the taco salad, mamas tacos, and a rum punch. All of the food was hot and delicious, the drink was incredible and the head bartender brought it over personally to explain what she used and to make sure we enjoyed it. They have a lovely view of the lake, and a beautiful patio. We will absolutely be back to enjoy more specialty drinks, delicious tacos and soak up that view during the summer. We are so so happy we found this place. The food is incredible, but the service will absolutely bring you back. Thank you Angelina's!“

“Michelle gave my boyfriend & I phenomenal service yesterday. We frequent this location often & all of the servers always take good care of us, but Michelle is crème de la crème. She was very attentive, anticipated our needs & made sure we left happy. S/o to you Michelle :) You made our night!“

“Excellent service!“

“Todoo, exquisito y muy hermoso lugar“

“We love Fuzzy’s and their garlic sauce!“

“Almost every Friday night when I am in town.I love sketching on napkins and giving the sketch to people around us.“

“I hope someone from fuzzys corporate reads this. I live in st louis MO and our fuzzys are despicable they are dirty and the service is horrible. I was visiting little elm on business and my group not from MO wanted to go to fuzzys I was hesitant. But this store this awesome it was so clean and the food was well made and the service was amazing. If someone from fuzzys corporate reads this please do somthing about the stores in STL“

“HUGE - Don't believe me...take a look at the photos. I ordered the Chico (comes in Super also) chorizo, potatoes and beans. I almost ate the whole thing...I had to give up. Delicious and steaming hot...they serve Mexico Coke which goes well with the food. Let me know if you can finish a Super. I know I can't.“

“Met my daughter for dinner here and it was great! Nice atmosphere, great food and drinks.“

“We found this place off of an IG page. My son, my bestie and myself went here after to church on 4/7/2024. The service was amazing and our waitress was a hoot ?!!! Heather I think was her name. She was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! We will definitely be back. Food was ? and the portion sizes ???!!!“

“We stopped in after church today. We originally wanted breakfast but this was more convenient. So glad we chose this! The servers and staff were attentive and courteous. The food was fantastic. We had the migas and the pollo con crema with veggies instead of rice. Wonderful experience:)“

“Super fast service, I put my order in online and got the notification it was ready less than 5 minutes later. Tacos are really good and it's amazing to have a vegetarian option for traditional tacos because I normally have to just get beans and rice at taco places!“

“I come to Torchy's every Friday and I'm never disappointed! Great staff and service. Friendly and prompt. Javier is the bomb.com!“

“Love Torchy’s and Fergus is da bomb These are the best tacos, you have to give them a try!“

“food is great, you will like it..“

“Awesome. Love this place.“

“Okay, it’s been awhile since we visited one of their restaurants. Let me first say, make a reservation. This location can get REALLY BUSY. Now, knowing that these are the ones who invented the frozen margarita machine, one almost feels obligated to try one. In this case, we got the Sangria Swirls. They will set you back around $15 each. They are darn good, but small for the price. The chips come with two types of salsa - both excellent. We ordered the Texas Torpedos to start. They come with ranch & are chicken-stuffed, fried jalapeños. Absolutely amazing. Our enters were the burrito and fish tacos 5 out of 5 for the burrito. The fish tacos were not good. To start, while I ordered them with shredded lettuce instead of slaw (why do that to an innocent fish?), and they were supposed to come in corn tortillas. They came with flour. You’re supposed to get your choice of grilled veggies or black beans. I did not get a choice. I supposed the veggies are healthier, and the mushrooms were nice, but none of the other veggies were cooked enough for me to eat. The zucchini was still hard…very hard. The fish was supposed to be panko-crusted but since the cilantro lime aioli was either plopped directly on the fish or the fish was tossed in it, it came out mushy…inedible. Someone who appeared to be a manager, came by and asked how everything was and I said not good, and he just nodded and walked off. I push my plate to the side and our server did not seem to grasp that either. She did ask earlier, if or how everything was, and I let her know it wasn’t great… I guess it doesn’t matter. Look, they are not cheap, and generally their quality is very high. That said it would’ve been nice if they were a little more responsive when I let them know about my tacos.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Torchys in Frisco, Hollyhock location and I must say, the service and hospitality exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the bartender Eric who was very attentive and friendly. Aside from the impeccable service and hospitality, the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this Torchys location. You wont be disappointed!“

“This Tommy Tamale was my first experience, and I enjoyed my visit. I ordered a 2 plate x 1 (rice & beans, beef, chicken), a apple cinnamon tamale, a Bavarian cream churro, and a a fountain drink. The entrée and sides were available almost instantly after placing my order. I liked the beef tamale more than the chicken tamale, yet both were good. The refried beans and rice were fine. The sweet tea was excellent and clearly made fresh.When I placed my order, the cashier asked me if I wanted my dessert order held until I was almost finished with the other food, and I agreed. The cashier brought my desserts with excellent timing after I had eaten for a while. The apple cinnamon tamale was good, and the churro was delicious. I intend to return to this Tommy Tamale sometime.“

“I ate at the one on Inwood today and they literally had some of the best nachos I’ve ever gotten at a Mexican restaurant.“

“Incredible from start to finish! Torchy’s is our favorite (the Brushfire is EVerything!), but when you throw in amazing service and joyful personalities who are helping you, it means everything! Jay and Tyson were incredibly kind…the smiles on their faces made our night! Best service EVER!!“

“We love Mi Cocina (Richardson)…..ate there twice this week!! The food is consistently great and the Mambo Taxi margaritas are absolutely the best. They have the best chips and salsa in town! The wait staff is friendly, courteous and efficient.“

“Fast service waiters are so nice!!“

“Where can I start? First off, me and my family come here often. We live nearby and the fact that we are treated like family is a bonus. They have a worker who is almost like family. Happy to see me and my family everyone we come. Voice, if you ever see this know that you are the truth and keep doing what you are doing. They are going to lose customers if they let you go…when you are taking care of the customers…it’s home!“

“The food is great we had a great service the waiter we had was great he was nice in great the only thing I didn’t like was he was bringing are food in another employee told him can you do it fat boy i thought that was rude saying it in front that is bullying“

“Los mejores!! Ve y prueba la comida, te va a encantar. Y la atención por la dueña personalmente. Todo excelente! Y tienen Tostones (patacones)(fritos)Parking: Plenty parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: There's a menu for kids. Try the house-made chicken fingers, outstanding…“

“I'm a widowed single mom who is paranoid about calling contractors for help with my homes because of REALLY bad past experiences and being taken advantage of. This company was on the job within less than 30 minutes total and very FAIRLY priced as compared to the other companies I called yesterday. Keep in mind that I had already called four other plumbers, one of which never even called me back. As you can see from the picture, I called on Plano Plumbing & Leak Detection at 9:07am, and they were in, out, and DONE by 9:35am. While I certainly hope that I never have to call on them again, lol, if I do, I WILL! Thanks guys!“

“Went for Taco Tuesday. Great food at a great price. They were very busy, but the made the food very quickly. My coworkers do this often, and typically, by the time we've filled our drinks, grabbed our sauces, and found our seats, they are already calling it order numbers.“

“I ate at the Downtown Carrollton location last week. I discovered that there was a closer location to me in Addison. I decided to compare the two. I ordered the Papos lunch plate again. It was right on with the flavors. The chips and salsa were perfect! The beef taco was excellent! The General Manager, Harry, was so friendly and checked on me several times during my meal. He had greeted me at the door and was completely "hands-on." I was so impressed! I will be returning to get my Tex-Mex cravings satisfied in the future.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free at your own riskParking: Free Parking Garage around the corner from the restaurant.“

“Great lunches. Awesome salmon with mango sauce“

“The best food every single time we go there we devour our plates and leave nothing left. I would recommend this to anyone.“

“The food was AMAZING. The hostess accommodated our seating preferences, they brought chips & salsa immediately. Our serve, Jermey was amazing. Didn't even have to ask for refills on things. And they were busy and we still had excellent service. Definitely recommend and WILL be going back!“

“The BEST service and friendly people.“

“Overview: 4 stars by the time we walked out the door.Our experience started going direction of 2-3 stars, with food and service problems, but server turned it around and manager FULLY redeemed the overall experience.Details:My daughter and I were spending our last night of a quick vacation to Dallas by grabbing dinner at Lupe's. She ordered a very basic burrito, and at the recommendation of the server I ordered one of the house specialties: 1/2 lb. meat trio fajita platter (steak, chicken, and shrimp) and recommended house made flour tortillas.Chips and salsa were good. Charro beans were an extra plus. My daughter had this oddity where the server kept ignoring her drink - a glass of water that she had gotten from the bar prior to sitting down. She wasn't asked for a drink to my recollection and then wasn't asked/given any refills until we asked after the entrees arrived.For entrees, my daughter really enjoyed her burrito and rice/beans. The burrito was reasonably sized, maybe a little smaller than a Chipotle burrito. She asked for a number of things left out and a few things on the side. They hit about 80% of that ask. She is a bit particular on what she eats and was still good with what was in the burrito. She was a huge fan of the flavor. Big win!My fajitas were not as beloved. Considering it was a $24 fajita plate and a signature dish, I had some high hopes. The shrimp was pretty good. The beef and chicken, not so much. I had two slices of beef that had good flavor. The rest were overcooked, some with a flaky metallic sheen. The chicken was all overcooked and chewy.Note: the meat platter photo was taken after a few shrimp were eaten.Disappointment didn't stop with the meat. The plate really fell flat with its fajita veggies. It arrived with only a small spoonful of sautéed onions, two slices of excessively charred jalapenos, and one mini grilled red pepper.While the side of guac and shredded cheese were fine. The pico de gallo was flavorless and contained reddish/whitish chunks that were hard to distinguish between tomatoes and onions (in flavor and color).Disappointment moved to confusion when it came to the house made flour tortillas. The plate came with 4x 12-inch house made flour tortillas. These were the same tortillas used for my daughter's burrito. I now have 4x giant 12-inch tortillas and one tiny plate of fajitas. You would think that a place known for house made tortillas and house specialty fajitas, would have coordinated around making 6" tortillas sized for their fajitas instead of only 12" tortillas used for everything.When eating my first fajita, not surprisingly I found I was eating more tortilla than anything else. It didn't take long for me to eat all the food from the plate that I found appealing, and still find about half the plate full of food.Soon after, I asked our server for the bill and a to-go box for my daughter. The server asked if there were issues with my plate. I told her the truth about my meat being overcooked and chewy. I said it wasn't a big deal, we'd just get the check and go. To her credit, she alerted the manager who came over immediately.I was okay leaving and being a little irked that my $24 plate of fajitas was lousy. I explained the situation and the manager was great in listening. But the manager wanted to make sure she made the situation right - which I really applaud her for. She started by indicating that she was going to take it off my bill, which was wonderful. She also went out of her way to make additional offers including cooking another one up for me there and sending me home with another for later - which I both declined as I was full, and we were flying out the next day. Her offers were greatly appreciated though. It spoke to her customer service and care.At the end of the experience, the way the situation was handled by manager and server left both my daughter and I thrilled. I may not have loved how it started, but I did love the overall experience!“

“For some reason I forgot all about this place even though I pass it all the time going to Sprouts. I think the last time I was here was pre pandemic. Came back because my wife suggested it for dinner and she hit the nail on the head with Anamias. The restaurant is super nice and great atmosphere. I always get the same thing when I go for Mexican food… a burrito or chimichanga and this place has a great chimichanga. Table side guac is fantastic and the Jays tacos were great. Good menu, good food and will put this spot back on the list for the future.“

“The food was delicious, the service was great. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Our table ordered a mixture of breakfast and lunch, and we each enjoyed our meal so much. I loved that my favorite breakfast came with some of my favorite extras that I had never thought to add. It was delicious!“

“Always great food and great service!!!“

“I have no idea exactly why I love Fuzzy's Taco... but I do. Their food is nothing spectacular, but I love it. If it's nice outside, I always choose to eat outside.The place is always clean, and the staff is friendly. There is a bar area, and their Margaritas are pretty good.Granddaughter usually gets the cheese quesadilla with sopaipilla bites. She loves the oreo churros too.I don't have a Fuzzy's near me, but my daughter has one ½ mile away. So while visiting, I'll always go to Fuzzy's.“

“The food is extremely well prepared. Last few visits we have ordered "The Acapulco" and shared between both of us. The Black bean dip comes out warm at the start and is great with the bowls of Red and Green sauce. The service was pretty good, but service with a smile is not part of the training. After watching the wait staff, it is pretty evident they do not want to be there or the management is hard to work for, because nobody smiles, including the hostesses up front. In fact the hostesses will say "Thanks for Coming In", and never once look up from their personal cell phone. Again the food is great and is still worth the stop. But if you are looking for Service with a Smile, this isn't the place to be. As well the servers were very non-apparent after your food came, so make sure you get your Tea and water filled before the meal is served.“

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant! I started here ordering the amazing all day breakfast (the double fried beans are perfect) until I tried the fajita enchiladas which I swap the chile con carne sauce for mole sauce, it is amazing!! Best mole enchiladas I have ever tried, it’s the meal I crave all the time. Also the staff here are very sweet and friendly. The place itself is very cozy and they always put out seasonal decorations which is really cute. Truly some of the best Tex Mex you will ever try!“

“Corley and his staff were amazing and very hospitable! We’ll definitely be back!“

“great place for TACOS , ENCHILADAS ETC“

“Portions great, tortillas could use some improvement. Overall, good Tacos!“

“Great service and plenty of food! We had leftovers for a hot minute! Fresh hot tortillas- made in house-and the chips and salsa kept coming! I had the combo fajitas and the meat was a bit scarce- mainly just a few on top- but don't when I went digging or gold towards the bottom, no luck- but big portions for the side items, rice and beans and cheese etc. We topped it off with the dessert and in Sundays it's half off of you order an entree. I'll go back just for the dessert- it was amazing!!! Im sad I didn't get all that beauty in a picture- Wahh“

“Everything on the menu is delicious and their margaritas are great!“

“We just ordered for a meeting and they catered/delivered. Everything was individually packaged and easy for each person to get! I have never seen that before. It was delivered promptly, hot, delicious,and organized!I only took one pic but we will definitely order from them again, especially for catered events!“
