"Open since 1981, this Oak Lawn eatery touts former presidents, Dallas Cowboys players, and celebrities among its biggest fans. It’s since moved to Lemmon Avenue, where the brisket enchiladas and chile rellenos are as magnificent as they’ve always been, while the spinach enchiladas are a sleeper hit. Order either and pair the plate with a beerita. This is the place one takes out-of-town guests who want the real Tex-Mex experience: from the puce-colored exterior with its numerous columns to the neon-colored walls inside, it is over the top in all possible ways." - Amy McCarthy
"A classic Tex-Mex destination recommended specifically for its star dish, the chile relleno, exemplifying "Tex-Mex as the Texans do." - Courtney E. Smith
"Open since 1981, this Oak Lawn eatery touts former presidents, Dallas Cowboys players, and celebrities among its biggest fans. It’s since moved to a new home on Lemmon Avenue, where the brisket enchiladas and chile rellenos are as perfect as they’ve always been." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy
"Opened in Dallas in 1981, Mia’s Tex-Mex has tons of fans in Dallas, and for a good reason. Order the queso chorizo, a riff on queso fundido served with flour tortillas, or stick with the classic chile con queso before digging into a plate of those famed brisket tacos." - Courtney E. Smith
"This no-frills Tex-Mex superstar dedicates all of its energy to delivering Dallasites authentically good classics. The quesadillas are packed with ingredients, the brisket tacos are juicy and flavorful, and the chimichangas are bigger than your face. That's to say, it's hard to go wrong. (If you've made the regrettable decision to come here without much of an appetite, there's even a taco salad.) Be warned: No Mia's experience is truly complete if you don't start with queso and end with sopapillas. The staff is equipped to handle groups of all sizes; they're not even fazed by cranky toddlers. It's the perfect stop on your way to Dallas Love Field to catch a flight—you get your Tex-Mex fix before heading out of state." - David Landsel, Diana Oates, Jonathan Thompson
