This is the best Mexican restaurant in the area! I drive from McKinney to get here and it's totally worth it. The service is fast and the food is absolutely fantastic. I've never had a bad experience here and will also continue to come here!!!

Nice ambiance with a modern look to it. The guacamole and salsa were very good. Had the brisket chimichanga - tender meat with good flavor. Service was quick and attentive.

I stopped in because my daughter was hungry for Mexican and it was close by. She got the half order of Nacho locos with beef, a small side of rice and a small queso. The nachos are mini tortillas with beef and melted shredded cheese, hence the side of queso dip. All other toppings are on the side. I ordered the 5 layer dip, held the beef. It was tasty and the chips were fresh. There was a full bar with the option of frozen drinks. I only drink wine and didn't partake because they didn't have wine I like. My husband ordered a frozen jalapeño margarita. Rimmed in Tajin, it had a fresh jalapeño and orange slice in it. Looked pretty. Hubs said "it did what it was supposed to do." We were there for lunch and the crowd was doable. The service was acceptable and they were attentive. It is a casual atmosphere with outdoor seating. Good for a lunch meet up, friend gathering, casual date or happy hour meet up. I wouldn't race to go back and in husband's words "did what it was supposed to do."

I wish Yelp let us give 4.5 rating.... This place is a 4.5 It is located in a walkable area with apartments and restaurants. I love the design of mixed-use type developments like that. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. The restaurant has a nice bar area and ample seating. The food was fresh and good. I had Queso, Carne a La Tampiquena and a Tres Leches. The chips and sales and queso were good but I like a little more spice so I got some legit hot sauce to mix in. Made it excellent. The Carne a La Tampiquena was fork tender and was seasoned well. The enchilada was an enchilada.... Not much to write about. Tres Leches was on point! Great finish to the meal. Overall would highly recommend

Mena's Tex-Mex Grill Cantina is my 'go-to' restaurant when I visit my daughter who lives in Plano, TX. The food is always plentiful, delicious and beautifully presented. I had the Beef Fajitas, my daughter had the chicken burrito and my granddaughter had the brisket tacos. It was all delicious and we each brought home dinner for the following evening.

FOOD Carne a la Tampiquena was alright. It was pretty salty overall and falls a lot more on the heavier side. The beef was tender and flavor was ok. Salsa is also a bit salty but also is good consistency and flavor. The chips are fresh and crispy! VIBES The place has nice vibes with dim lighting. Seating includes booth and standard chair and table seating. It's quite spacious. Looks like most of the people here are either catching up with friends, eating with family, or going on dates. SERVICE Service was great! No complaints here!
