    I'm proud to say I don't know much about Dallas, so could use a Mexican restaurant recommendation near Irving. I'm striking out with friend responses, appreciate any tips. On plane now. Be in town for two days on bizness. I'll be at Verizon campus in Irving at some nearby marriott. Would love to checkin and get some good Mexican tonight

    Regarding my tastes, my Goto in Houston is el Paraiso. Quality enchiladas and great salsa, and I'm a happy man

    The closest quality Mexican restaurant to Dallas is Hugo's on Westheimer.

    Not sure about a good Mexican food spot. Check out Cool River Cafe in Las Colinas which is very closeby.

    Go down MacArthur road towards Valley Ranch. There should be a Mi Cocina in a complex with Starbucks, Chick Fil A etc.
    Anamia's in Coppell off Denton Tap road is another one.

    I haven't been around the area in a minute but it should still be there.

    You should also be paging DFWRocket. I think he lives and works around the Irving/Grapevine area.

    There is a good Fryar near Irving. But likely not Mexican.

    In the area - La Hacienda Ranch off 121 - 5 min from the airport is the best.

    Esparzas in Grapevine is pretty good and 5 min north of the airport.

    or get out of that crappy area and head to Fort Worth - La Familia on Foch street is excellent

    Joe T Garcias in the Stockyards is pretty darn good and has a great atmosphere - largest patio I've ever seen.

    Mexicans come to the US and all of a sudden forget how to cook. Their restaurants suck.

    Ummm... usually it's not us that dictate which dishes or what they should have in the cheaper places you visit. It's Chad Huffington or Blaine Wilmington who own the places we cook. :eek:

    In the rare times it's us calling the shots on what the restaurant serves, we aren't going to serve you "enchiladas with yellow 'American' cheese." That's a Tex/Mex thing. :p

    Try Sylvia's Enchiladas.
