I came across this spot on Yelp while searching for the best Tex-Mex in Dallas, and this was the best one I could find based on its ratings/reviews. The spot is located a few minutes (walking-wise) from the Klyde Warren Park.
I first tried ordering online, but for some reason it just didn't work at all. No matter how many different cards I used or the web browser I was using, it refused to work. My friend tried calling, but that didn't work either, so we had to order in person for takeout.
I got the carne tacos $18.75, Cochinita Pibil $22, and the pastel de chocolate $11. I opted for flour tortillas for my items, and I also received complimentary chips & salsa with my order, which was very much appreciated.
- The carne tacos plate comes with 2 carne tacos and rice & beans. The carne tacos were good, and the rice & beans were, but nearly $20 for 2 tacos and rice & beans is crazy.
- The cochinita pibil plate came with pork, rice & beans, and flour tortillas. I wasn't impressed with the pork as it was a small portion and didn't do much for me, but it was alright. Also, once again, another overpriced item. The portions gotta be more if they're charging these high prices.
- The pastel de chocolate was the only item that I can say was both good and fairly priced. The brownie is warm & moist and is paired with a side of their corn ice cream, which seemed strange for me but ended up being a lot better than I anticipated.
Also, my friend got the brisket quesadilla or brisket tacos and said he enjoyed it.
Overall, the food is decent, but it's EXPENSIVE. I enjoyed my visit, but would've enjoyed it more if I got a better bang for my buck when it comes to the portion and pricing of the carne tacos and cochinita pibil.
