Desperados Mexican Restaurant Dos

Quality establishment all around! House margaritas for $3 on Wednesdays are a great deal. The tacos are my favorite here, especially with a side of chimichurri if I’m having beef tacos. Also recommend the Texas Tornado which is their house sangria and frozen margarita swirled. The servers are always so nice. Always a good dinner crowd here no matter the night of the week.

I don’t like to post negative reviews, but I came to this place for two reasons: 1) 4.6 stars on Google 2) Relatively close proximity to my place. I enjoy writing reviews and generally post good reviews when I come across a place that I thoroughly enjoy or that surprises me in a good way. This experience was neither. It was my first visit and I’m not sure if I’ll try it again. I’m going to keep this as constructive as possible. The ordering and curb-side pick up process were flawless! Great job there. The food, however, had no flavor. I ordered the beef fajitas, swapped the bean soup with refried beans, and added a side of rice. Upon opening the to-go container, I was not greeted with what I would expect after paying almost $20. The beef was hammered super thin, most likely cooked either last night or today around lunch time and then reheated (it was barely warm after my 7 minute drive home). The onions were also not cooked, as they maybe kissed the grill for about 30 seconds, and were definitely not cooked with the meat, which would also add flavor to the dish. The rice suffered the same fate. Being cooked without the use of flavor and then being reheated before breaking up the clump of cold rice. I hope for the sake of this restaurant, that my experience was an outlier. For those looking at this place for a first time visit, maybe try dine-in so that if the food is as lacking in quality or freshness as mine was, you haven’t already payed for it and you can try something else.

This restaurant is a pleasant surprise in a strip shopping center in Plano Garland area. We walked into this restaurant wondering if we would have a good experience and then we were pleasantly surprised at the staff the ambience and the food. Upon entry the restaurant we were immediately transported to an authentic dining experience one would receive in Mexico City. We ordered mini hours including their flagship item their desperado tacos. Their there fajitas for one is actually fajitas for two with the amount of meat they provide were exquisite. My wife ordered the Kearny Asada which was a big difference in terms of visual presentation but tasted amazing. I highly recommend coming in the evening between 5 PM and 8 PM for their spicy salsa which is only served in the evening. I highly highly recommend this establishment. Ask for Tony.

The chips were fresh, crispy, and hot. The salsa wasn't quite as spicy as it normally is but it was still good. I had the La Margarita on the rocks and it was quite good. Definitely would recommend it. My wife had the frozen mango and it was pretty good also. If you love tacos, come here and get the desperados tacos. They are consistently delicious. Some of the best tacos in Dallas and that's saying something. Service was pretty good and it's a nice relaxing place even when busy. Enjoy when y'all stop by here.
