mia's tex-mex restaurant

disturbing the neighborhood. this place is not respectful of other people! loud music , loud drunk people yelling for hours! this went on until 3 a.m. if the owners of this place is diturbing the peace and inconsiderate of others than it shows their reputation. this place is too small inside with horrible seating! it needs to be torn down!

the best ever!. ate there and fell in love with the food and the service. our server, andrew was fantastic as was the food and drinks. we will be back often

used to eat here all the time until about 5 years ago...when the waiter said there would be an up charge for queso on my enchiladas..instead of that nasty chili. kind of ruined it for me.

lukewarm reception. i have the same feeling towards mia's as the hostess, manager and waitress took towards our group- lukewarm

food: all ingredients, including the seafood, was fresh, the vegetables were crisp and the tortillas had a great buttery flavor. the draw back was the lack of seasoning. but i'm a fan of the chips and spicy salsa. the brisket tacos get a lot of hype too. and the prices are fairly decent for dinner with some great lunch times deals at around $5.

service: again, not the warmest reception, but more importantly, the server made a couple of mistakes, including an important dietary substitution.

atmosphere: typical mexican restaurant decor- sombreros pinned to the wall, 5 different paint colors, sticky vinyl floral tablecloths. the restaurant is relatively small but there's also a fairly large, enclosed patio with heaters.

reservations- yes. but all in your party must be present to be seated- even if the restaurant is half empty. however, unless you have a large party, a reservation is probably not needed. even at peak lunch hour there were open tables.

parking: small lot that fills up fast. there's a "complimentary" valet.

average food. the food is average to say the least. waiter cannot wait for you to leave so he can sit someone else. run them in and out asap .don't waste your money on the margaritas...7.00 for watered down lime juice!!

good food, great service. liked it a lot. guacamole was very good.

best mexican food in dallas! the service is always exceptional. it's best to arrive early on friday and saturday as it can take a while for a table.

great food! every bit as good as herrrea's!

my favorite tex-mex. love love love it! love the bean soup, the barbacoa tacos and enchiladas, and the chicken enchiladas. the margaritas are delish and strong, just the way they should be when paired with tex-mex. what i love the most, is the ambiance and music. it reminds me of growing up. most other mexican or tex-mex restaurants play salsa or spanish rock. its nice to hear tejano music while eating real tex-mex food!!!!!

very very... very.... (very)... good.. this is definitely one of the better tex-mex joints in the metroplex. you can go ahead and scrap all the chains - none of them compares. mia's has outstanding enchiladas, fajitas, and brisket tacos, etc. while the flavors may not be a big departure from your typical tex-mex, there is a quality to the food that puts it ahead of the rest. the only other comparable place that comes to mind is fernando's on northwest hwy.

if you want authentic mexican, go to a good taco truck. if you want mexican-fusion, go... uhhh... wherever the yuppies go. if you want solid, reliable tex-mex, go to mia's!!!

zakks tacos are fabulous. tacos al carbon also. fabulous all the way around. mad for 2 reasons: 1) didn't find this place sooner, and 2) will have to drive 30 mins for tex mex cause nothing else can rate.

best tex-mex. chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce highly recommended.

another dallas "institution" that survives on hype. it ain't the food! incredibly average! nothing was bad but nothing was worth the hype either. this will not be in my list of recommended places. i'd rather go down the street to gloria's.

average. i'd been hearing all the hype about this place, and seeing as how it is packed every time i pass by, decided to stop by the other night. the service was good and the food average. it was good but nothing stood out. considering the choices down here i pick somewhere else to eat before here next time out.

my brother took me here for a lunch date the other day. great guacamole, the fajitas were average, but the chicken taco soup was amazing.
