Muy Delicioso! I love the vibe and the owner is a sweet lady. I had the Puntas Rancheras and man was it wonderful. Fresh ingredients. Good quality meat. The flavor on the sauce was outstanding. Very authentic. Takes me back to Mexico city. The decor is nice. Service is responsive. They live up to their rating on Zagat. Will definitely be dining there again.
Great Food and Great Price. This is not your ordinary Tex-Mex restaurant. The food and service are several steps up the ladder from other nearby restaurants. We eat here on a regular basis. Try it and you will be back.
Exceptional Dishes. This restaurant is not your typical Mexican restaurant. Although I believe it does have some of your more common dishes like tacos and enchiladas most of their food is unique, rich and exotic. Our entrees were more like something you would get at an expensive and trendy restaurant and they were flavorful and just really freaken good. On a side note I had the ceviche which was just OK but everything else we ordered was exceptional. Will be going to this place regularly.
Will blow you away. This unassuming hole in the wall at the corner of Josey and Valley View in Farmers Branch is not where you expect to find the best Mexican food you ever ate but this is where you find FINE real Mexican food. This is Mex Mex not Tex Mex and twice I have come out of there saying I just had the best meal I ever had. Better like spicy though because some of it can be. Weekends there is live flamingco harp...the owner is the former waitress who bought the place and upgraded the food. If you like Mexican, and want flavors you have never known before, what are you waiting for? What a gem this is!
Authentic Mexico City Fine Dining. Several layers above most Mexican food in DFW.
Of course they have typical favorite like Enchilada and Quesadillas. Take time to explore the menu and taste their unique dishes and sauces. They have a section explaining the many Chile Peppers they uses. Some aren't the least bit hot, just flavorful.
As one example, Ladrillo is steak layered with ham and cheese, plus special sauce.
Last Neuvo Leon cafe was part of Arcadia fire, years ago. Also had cafe at Oak Lawn & Cedar Springs. New incarnation has those old favorite recipes and more. Cozy spot, with same level of fine service.
A standout in a sea of mediocre Mexican restaurants. If you ask me, Dallas' mediocre Mexican (or TexMex) restaurants outnumber the good ones 3-to-1 or thereabouts. Tonight took us to Nuevo Leon, one of the "good" ones and possibly even "great." The area is anything but fancy, and the restaurant itself is humble, but comfortable. Our waitress (and possibly owner?) was prompt, courteous, spoke perfect English and had an engaging smile. The chips and salsa weren't much to note, warm salsa with a bit of a tinny aftertaste. What struck me as noteworthy was first, that I narrowed my options down to at least 8 items that all sounded intriguing. Secondly, the sauce on my Carnitas con Chipotle entree was remarkable. A hint too spicy for me, but easily overlooked because the sauce had unique and wonderful flavors I couldn't quite identify. I saw small, roasted seeds of something and it had an earthy, nutty, smokey, unusual and wonderful flavor. It's not too often you encounter 100% new flavors, so for me, that made Nuevo Leon a standout.
Chicken Chimichanga. What a surprise! The green queso sauce makes this staple dish very atypical. Along with the fresh Pico de Gallo, sour cream and guacamole, it's a close second to my favorite, the Carne Asada Chimichurri.
Best ever for Mex-Mex. I get the two beef enchiladas and one chicken enchilada with the green sauce. If you don't get full on the chips and the best salsa you will find in DFW. This is the only Mexican food that I eat, unless the plate is clean no matter what. Everything is great not just good. I love this place. If you are like me and think that most popular places taste like they put wolf brand chilly on the dinner this is not like that. This taste like a Mexico dinner.
Good and popular place at lunch, but does not do as well at lunch...not sure why. The enchiladas were good ( not being a frijoles/refried beans person I cannot comment ). I will go back.
