We are a frequent patron of this restaurant. They have excellent food and the wait staff is outstanding. There is very seldom a wait to be seated. If there is, it is not much more that 5-10 minutes. The location is just about 2 blocks off of US 75 in McKinney on the east side of the highway. I would highly recommend it for family dinners or individuals.

Came in for early dinner on Saturday. Promptly seated, server was cordial. That's where the experience took a turn. Tried to order off the lunch menu and were told it was too late. Had to point out that it was 20 minutes to 5, so it was NOT too late. Started off with quac and queso. Queso was passable, guac was bland. Chips were cold and greasy and the tortillas were cold and had a spongy texture that made them inedible. I had a combo plate with Chicken Sour Cream Enchilada, Fajita Chicken Taco and tamale, accompanied by spanish rice and charro beans. My food was cold when it arrived and I told the server, she removed my plate and returned it with the same food that had been reheated in a microwave. I know this because the salad on my plate was piping hot. The manager checked in on us and I told him about the situation and he apologized and gave me a fresh plate of food. However, the only tasty item on the plate was the charro beans. The rest was greasy and lacking any flavor. My husband had the Tacos Nortenos, with refrieds and cilantro lime rice. Said his tacos were ok, but the rice had neither lime nor cilantro flavor and the refrieds were just ok. When we got the check, we had not received the lunch pricing, so had to ask to have the check adjusted. As a whole the food was terrible and the service was just medicore. We won't be back.

Our server was so helpful, when I ordered a particular plate and asked about it, he suggested something else I'd like and the Tacos Vallarta was outstanding. Everyone loved their choice of entree, which was served piping hot and nicely plated. Our server made sure the water glasses never emptied, and the chips and salsa were bottomless. A smooth, red salsa and chunky green salsa were both delicious and kept coming throughout the meal. We had a very pleasant dining experience.

great atmosphere, amazing food, we enjoy going with friends and family. Great service! We've been going here since they opened, and i don't think anything on the menu has not been excellent! With the exception of the quagamole, its good, I just don't like chunks of onion in mine. So, I don't order that. =) They do have a few items on the menu that is American food if you really don't want to partake in Mexican, but want to be with your family and friends that do. =)Thank you for the great review! We love to hear you enjoy it all! Please visit us with your friends and family again soon!

I love Nom Noms. They have so many tasty toppings to choose from for your burrito/bowl/tacos...etc. (I love the steak bowl the most.) They also have a big selection of fresh, homemade ice cream and bars which taste great as well.My only complaint would be that itâs pretty small and constantly packed which means thereâs nowhere to sit. The line is always long so keep that in mind if you think youâre just going to run in and grab food real quick during peak hours. Obviously that says a lot about how many people love this place, and in their defense, the employees work very fast to keep the line moving. I just wish they had more seating because you feel like a sardine between the line and tight space inside.The good news is, there are separate lines for food versus ice cream. (This also means you have to get in line twice if you want both.)

Went here per trip advisor for high rating. Chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. Everything beyond that was mediocre at best. The margaritas were meh. My husband and I shared the combination fajitas. The tortillas appeared handmade and were good. Nothing on the fajita pan was âsizzlingâ. The meat was warm(ish) and the onions and peppers were undercooked. Beans and rice and other accoutrements were forgettable. The service, however, was impeccably courteous and thatâs the only reason the stars are 3 not 2.
