10. Milpa Mexican Restaurant

One of my girlfriend's friends has been raving about Milpa's margaritas. We both love margaritas and Mexican food so we had to try Milpa out. The place is adjacent to a no tell motel, and looks kinda sketchy. When we walked in we were cheerfully greeted and seated at a booth that was is desperate need of reupholstery. Our waiter Quinn was a cheerful as the receptionist and told us about their list of margaritas, which numbered 100. We asked what margaritas he recommended and ordered a house margarita on the rocks and a jalapeno margarita. Both were incredible. My girlfriend enjoyed her house margarita and I loved my jalapeno margarita. We were very impressed. We ordered bacon wrapped shrimp and carne asada tacos. The shrimp were large, covered in bacon, perfectly cooked, but had no cheese, no spice, and were kinda disappointing. The carne asada tacos were filled to the brim with chunky carne asada, onions, cilantro and freshly cut avocado slices. The carne asada was dry, had no spice, and was also disappointing. We brought this to the attention of Quinn, our waiter, and he suggested bringing us a diablo sauce to spice things up. The diablo sauce is fiery hot, incredibly flavorful, and was a real treat. It could not however resurrect the absence of cheese and peppers in the bacon wrapped shrimp or the dried out carne asada. You would almost think that the cooks had never eaten Mexican food, and had no idea how to prepare Mexican food. Quinn apologized, was incredibly polite, and we decided we would return, but only for margaritas. I am hopeful that management will read this review, congratulate the receptionist and Quinn on stellar customer service. give the bartender a raise, remodel the place, and hire cooks that can cook real Mexican food. PS: The management and cooks need to have lunch at Taqueria Guanajato on McKinney Street in Denton, where flawless Mexican food is being prepared daily in a Mexican convenience store, or better yet, hire the cooks at Taqueria Guanajato so that their incredible margaritas are paired with incredible Mexican Food. If you are in search of the best margaritas in Denton, this is your place. If you are in search of great Mexican food in Denton, don't go here.

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Denton and we always go here when we're in town visiting relatives 2-3 times a year. A nice touch is that really good queso is served along with your complimentary chips and spicy salsa.I ordered the special Carne Asada meal. I don't like cilantro and noticed that it was in the cheese enchilada, so I asked that it be left off the enchilada. The steak came fine and was good, and the enchilada as I ordered it, but the waitress took it upon herself to also leave off the guacamole (which she said had cilantro) and also left off the beans for no apparent reason. I had to ask for the beans and she gave me sliced avocado instead of guacamole, so I kind of made my own guacamole! Unfortunately, the avocado slices had 2 large black spots on them--yuk!My mother-in-law liked her Chile Relleno and my husband ordered the shrimp kabob/enchilada dish which was good.My main concern is with the service--servers need to be willing to apologize graciously when things go wrong with an order. Instead, I received arrogant, somewhat defensive service.

Stopped by for dinner, and we both ordered drinks to enjoy with the salsa and chips. Thank you for the happy hour prices on the drinks, (and they were good). I ordered the chili relleno and I could see the chili (stuffed with amazing cheese and topped with a cheese sauce), but it didnât have a strong chili taste and there was no heat. My companion had a burrito with rice, beans and marinated pork which came with a good queso to put on top. But he also said there was no heat, it was actually a rare experience of eating Mexican food that wasnât spicy. Weâre from AZ and we usually have milder than New Mexico, but the food here had no spicy heat. There was a box on the menu showcasing âTex-mexâ offerings, maybe they were spicy but it sounded like all those platters had way too much food for us to eat. It was tasty, and our server was excellent, very attentive and helpful. My rice and beans were both good as well. It is located conveniently near shopping and a long row of restaurants and gas stations if you are traveling, very convenient and clean area.

Every day at 8 a.m., we start chopping veggies, soaking beans, and prepping our mesquite-fired grill. Not because we have to, but because we believe in delicious flavors made-to-order, from hand-rolled enchiladas to our sizzling fajitas to guacamole made

Weâve never been real fans of OTB, but friends suggested we go here. We were impressed. Service was fast, the chips and salsa better than I remembered, and the lunch special was excellent. And enough to take home for another meal. So we will go back again.

Discovered this little gem a couple years ago. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the food and service are always great. They bring you a little bean soup along with fresh chips and salsa. Terrific lunch specials- you never leave hungry or dissatisfied.

This has become our âgo to â restaurant for Mexican food. Really enjoy the enchiladas, fish tacos, guacamole. Cold beer. Attentive staff. Owner is usually present. Casual atmosphere. Can get busy but, tables turn quickly. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking. Beats the heck out of the chain restaurants.

After weeks of travel, our return to Texas gave us platefuls of tasty Tex Mex street tacos at Rusty Taco. They were flavorable, well-executed, and satisfying. Small-ish, but cheap - we ate two each (a couple of tacos upgraded with extra avocado) and chips and queso... about $25 for the 3 of us.

This restaurant chain was founded in Austin and its fame has resulted in additional restaurants around the state. This latest addition lives up to that tradition. The food is definitely considered Tex-Mex, meaning it is a little spicier, and the extensive menu offers all the traditional fare you would expect. We have enjoyed the food on every visit. Service has always been attentive, with quick ordering and not a long wait for food. The atmosphere is fun, with a noise level that allows for quiet conversation at your table.
