EMILY RIEMENSCHNEIDER First time here and definitely will be back! This is absolutely my new go to restaurant. Perfect for date night or with family! The staff was awesome, great view of the canal and great atmosphere- the food was INCREDIBLE! I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend! Also best lemon drop I’ve ever had and I’m picky!

Amanda Blackwell We were seated immediately. Isaiah was our server and he was amazing. He had multiple tables and he kept up with every one of them. He was friendly and never let our glasses get empty. My honey lime salmon was delicious. The potato skins were very tasty. If you find yourself around, stop in, ask for Isaiah, have some potato skins and one of the many entrees they offer. The atmosphere is fun.

Dennis Graham My Fiance and I had dinner here on Tuesday night where I proposed to her, it was really noisy but she chose the restaurant. So I couldnt complain. Anyway we had a nice dinner, our waitress did a good job of taking care of us, the food was perfect. The time between order and food arrival was A Little Long, BUT !!! They were quite busy so it was understandable. The prices are still too high for my liking. But theres not much that can be done about that. we were given some nice hot dinner rolls to nibble on when we had our drinks ordered. and asked if we wanted any appetizers. So the Waitress was definitely on the ball. There was adequate parking. Correction they were really busy. So finding a parking spot was a little hard. And We got soaked from a sudden rainstorm walking to the building LOL overall it was a pleasant dining experience and we will probably go back at some point. So Thank You to all the employees from the greeters to our waitress the cooks and the manager(s) we couldnt find anything to complain about.

Kathryn Ruth was my server for the evening and she was very kind! She did a wonderful job with taking orders and made sure that my steak enchiladas were made to order. Even though the restaurant was busy, she kept up with the table very well and made sure everyone got their food and drinks on time! The food was delicious! Especially the cilantro lime rice! My only critique is that the salsa was not very good and could have been better. It had a strange flavor and was stringy. The rest of the food however was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was wonderful! The lights were dim, making it a cozy place to enjoy your meal. The overall style and décoré of the restaurant was upscale and the music was inviting! I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice evening out with their partner, friends, coworkers, or family! Make sure you have a reservation if you’re with a group because they do get busy!

Tina Lakhani We had an amazing server named Kevy who took care of us. Management needs to give her a shoutout for her service! Would return just for her! Everything was delish and piping hot!

Laurel Shoger-Hall We decided to grab brunch here while visiting the convention center. We wanted to eat every meal here if we could! We got to chat with one of the owners as he was serving us. He is from Mexico and his family has worked hard to bring authentic Mexican dishes to the Irving area. The salsa was served warm which was such a treat! The chips are hearty but so delicate. They made for a perfect Chilaquiles! We also loved the richness of their French toast. Whether you’re local or just visiting you need to check out this Mon and pop gem!

Steven Briggs Great food and service in a vintage west atmosphere. I wasn’t happy about the parking situation (mandatory valet) but I enjoyed my enchiladas and the happy hour margaritas. Chips and dips were great as well. Service was fast and friendly and the place wasn’t too busy at all. I truly expected it to be busier.

Maria Villa This is the best Mexican food I have had in forever! You have to go here and get the Tapatios I have only seen this as street food in Mexico I was so surprised to see them on the menu you have to try them!

Christina Reaves This is our first time here and we traveled from. Baton Rouge for my mother n laws graduation. We came for brunch. The food was so good. From the chicken to the bacon to the Irish whiskey French toast and more. Karla was soooooo sweet and attentive. The staff was such a joy and did I mention the food was spectacular. We will definitely be back.

John T I really like Cheddars - especially this location because they are professional and offer great service. Their drinks are great - I love the frozen Painkiller. The honey butter croissants are delicious. I’ve had many things for dinner, and a few I recommend are: the Grilled White Fish, the Dijon Chicken & Mushrooms, and the Cheddar’s Trio Sampler. Portion sizes are good and their sides are great - I love the broccoli cheese casserole! I recommend for a tasty, American style meal with multiple options that won’t break the bank. The ceiling fans are pretty and interesting looking.

Rozzie of NJ Flew into DFW and after a long day of travel, I craved Mexican food. After I picked up my rental car, I googled for a nearby Mexican restaurant and landed on Tacos El Loco. The menu was simple and not crowded, but had a nice variety, and the restaurant had great reviews. Everything on the menu looked delicious. I ordered three street beef tacos. This meal was a treat! Nicely priced authentic, perfectly seasoned, and packed tacos. The green and red salsas were homemade and exceptional. The tacos were so good, I could have eaten three more, but I held myself back from being greedy. To top off my meal, I had the most delicious freshly made chocolate filled churro. You should not leave without having at least one churro! Customer service was wonderfully pleasant and the restaurant was spotlessly clean and quiet. Tacos El Taco did not disappoint. The next time I fly into DFW, I’m heading straight to Tacos El Loco!

Yulonda Hall The food was exceptional. I wanted to try everything on the menu and had a difficult time choosing. It was a long wait due to the concerts and festivities, but it was well worth the wait! I will definitely make it a point to revisit!!

Harmon Lewis Food is always authentic and delicious! Right temperature seasoning and heat. Enchiladas are some of the best ever! Alejandro is frequently my server when Im in Irving on business trips...always takes great care of me!

max Ninja So, I hadn’t the grilled cheeseburger, and oh my goodness!! The meal was spectacular! I had a problem with the way the steak was cooked for my son but it was resolved immediately! The manager of this location, Dale, was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. The staff were super sweet and accommodating as well. Now I wanna work there, just to be around these people!!! Thanks Dale and your staffs joy speaks volumes about the respect you give them and your customers!!! Thanks!

Alexis Hodges This is my go to happy hour spot in the Toyota music factory area. They have a great happy hour menu with food and drinks. The bartenders are always really nice - Alan is our go to! Their margaritas are good, wings, and steak quesadilla was phenomenal. On Mondays, they hosted mah-jongg Mondays that have guided lessons or open.
