Has anyone eaten at that Mexican place that has a small seating area outside that is on 380 just east of hwy 114/101 on the north side? I have stopped there twice and ended up leaving for it seemed to take a long time to get an order in with not a whole lot of people there.
Any suggestions for a good quick taco or burrito on 380 heading west from Decatur is Muy Apreciado! Dos Chiles in Bridgeport, TX. Dos Chiles is pretty good..

Recently moved to Allen in N TX on N bound 75 between Bethany and McDermott.
Matts Rancho. Formerly Matts Ranchero, have only been once so far but will be back often. 10 of us of various ages and we were all very happy with both food and service. Unfortunately I am retracting this recommendation. The new location in Allen while not terrible has turned out to be nothing special. Don’t go out of your way.

I look forward to it every week since finding out I finally made it to the one nearest to my house, for $3.25 it is hard to beat. Got two Pork, one beef. Challenge was everything is written in Spanish and no one speaks English.

It's too bad the Mexican places in the DFW aren't like they were in the late 90s when competition was fierce. It sure ain't like it used to be. Dos Chiles in Bridgeport is tolerable, or at least it used to be. I haven't eaten there for four or five years. The one in Boyd is about the same---or was. Casa Torres in Decatur is not bad at all, but again I haven't eaten there is three or four years (wife went keto, so Mexican just isn't on the schedule much anymore). In the El Paso area, I can recommend Kiki's in northeast El Paso and La Posta in Old Mesilla (just outside Las Cruces). There are probably a dozen or more great restaurants in that area that I don't know about since I haven't lived there since about 1994. We had Leo's and they were great, and there was a Carmen's down in Ysleta that may have been the all-time greatest. It's been gone since the 80s. Nothing I've ever found in DFW compares, but there have been a few hole-in-the-wall places that were pretty danged good.

Don’t live in the barrio so I’m not always near one!

Not just Mex food but other stuff.The Longhorn in Bowie for the buffet lunch. Cherry cobbler for desert.

On my way home to eat leftovers for lunch when I happened to notice this place with a lot of vehicles in the parking lot, so curiosity killed the cat. It was crowded and I was the only Gringo in the place the whole time I ate. Ordered a spicy pork plate, the pork, rice and corn tortillas were good, beans average. The food was served on one of those small Styrofoam plates, generous portion of meat, very small portions of rice and beans, drank water and the bill was $9.95 + tax and tip which I though was a little to much.

Went to a “Mexican Sugar” today in Plano. The drinks were Very good and the salsa was served warmed with good chips. Pictures don’t do justice but we split the chicken enchiladas and Carne Asada tacos. Both Very delicious and we are stuffed. Highly recommend. I think they have a few locations

Jalisco on Main St in Lewisville.
They have tacos with tortillas made from cactus that are very tasty, carnitas is my favorite. 12.99 for the cactus tortillas, 10.99 for the flour, and 9.99 for the corn tortilla tacos.
My wife has the pozole soup. 8.99 for the regular, 10.99 for the large. The large would feed both of us.
The salsa they bring to the table with the chips is thin. Ask for the hotter hot sauce. They also serve a green sauce on the side with the carnitas tacos.
I would give the place a 7 out of 10 when the place is crowded as the kitchen lags.
When they are not busy, 9 out of 10.
There is no website.

Interesting trip looking for a Mexican breakfast two Sundays ago. Wife asked me Chicken Fried steaks & eggs today or Mexican? Me C senorita so off we went to Dona Mary's off of Los Rios Ave and E Park Blvd, it opens at 9:00 am. Pull into the empty parking lot at 9 to discover they are closed on Sunday's Take the scenic route heading south on Los Rios and there is a cool estate sale, we picked up a few things and now looking for food, Wife Googled some Mexican place that sounded good named Taqueria & Tamaleria Nuevo León on 75 at Campbell Rd. We get there I go take care of business first then we go to order and the gal says we stopped serving breakfast at 10, it is now 10:06 Went a couple of doors down to Cafe Brazil and finally enjoyed breakfast or as Bill would say Brunch.. Had the Roasted Poblano Pepper filled with Scrambled Eggs,. Chorizo and Cheddar, topped with Homemade Spicy. Cream Sauce and served with Fried Sweet Potatoes and it was very good.
