We always get food from here when working in Dallas area. Food is always great. Customers service is awesome, very honest as i had put in a big order and she overcharged me but in the end she told me about it as I didn’t even notice. So she corrected it and gave me the right change back. So thank you for your honesty.

I loved it! I got the red enchiladas and they were so scrumptious. I could have eaten a dozen of them. Yummy! The rice and beans were also very tasty. My husband and I would definitely eat here again. Thank you, thank you!!

I probably order food delivery from this place about 1x a week. My go-to is the lunch plate. $7 for a half pound of meat, tortillas, beans, rice, and salsa. Its so filling and so good! Even though its delivered, it still comes piping hot and fresh! SO YUMMY! I have started to add chips to my order and a Jarrito drink to get past that $10 mark and the chips come in handy for a second meal with the left over meat. Though, you do start with like 5 tortillas. So its plenty. I have been to the location to order to-go and its a tiny 'hole-in-the-wall' type of joint. Sweet staff and things were clean upon glancing around. Its my fave!

They have the best tacos in the area. Simple, adequate, reasonable price yet very flavorful and fresh. I loved it. Thanks to one of my amigos who made me believe tacos are indeed a great food.

I get my breakfast tacos here, papa con huevo y frijoles. 👌🏽The prices are great and the tacos are pretty big. I’m a small female, so I get full with just one.

The nachos are chefs kiss

Love this place! It's not close to home but I can tell you I had the most amazing all pastor quesadilla with lettuce, tomatoes, and crema. The salsa verse was great but the red salsa was kind of boring. Food takes about 5 or so minutes so great timing. Would visit again!

The best tacos still I walked past 3 taco businesses to get to El Paisa, still the best flavors of taco meats and the best toppings with cilantro and fresh onions. That light green salsa mixed with the light orange salsa just kicks my taste buds up the perfect spice. Finished with limes that are fresh. And I've been all over the USA and I have tried and been disappointed time after time. El Paisa has the best Horchata, home made always get refills on the extra large.

I wasn't really hungry so I ordered nachos, oh man they were very good and the chips were very yummy. The younger kid that took my order was very kind and friendly.

El Paisa never disappoints! One thing you have to try is their nachos! We share an order of them every single visit because they are so special! The chips and beans they use are amazing and we absolutely love their chicken and steak fajita meat on top (order the combination)!!! Another delicious item is the horchata!!!! It is made fresh, no powder used and trust me, you want the large!!!!

🌅We have been enjoying the food for more then 20 years. “El Paisa nunca falla” Our favorite takeout food and sometimes we dine in. Tortas, caldo, sour cream enchiladas and more are delicioso! Thank you for great service too! Eva & Family

El Paisa is the place to go for 🇲🇽 food! No matter if’s is the drive thru or you’re dining in, El Paisa is the right choice food is always good and the service fast and the staff nice !

For take out or eat in Mexican food that hits the spot...this is it. I tell them to keep the extra tortillas given with each meal and instead, give me their homemade chips instead. You will receive both green (hot) and Roja red (mild) sauces. Enjoy!

This is our lazy Sunday breakfast taco spot. Great food, prices, and employees. Everyone is always friendly, and food is always made fresh and presented to you hot!

This restaurant is one of my favorites and I will recommend for whoever like real Mexican tacos. The service also very kind each person give you a big smile this make Avery body fell lake a family.

Burrito de fajita was huge and really good for the price. My fave is the tacos de Lengua, omg best lengua I've had I didn't get a pic tho Haha

Food is always good here.

Oh this food was so good and I am full. I will most definitely come back.

The breakfast burritos are the best .. the fajita is so tender and flavorful. The eggs are perfect.. I always ask for sour cream or creama on mine.

These Nachos are the best and the Tacos and the Enchiladas. All delicious 😋

Very very good food and great service I love this place 🙌🏽💙

Always nice. And the food is very GOOD. I LOVE THAT PLACE

Recommend the fajita torta combo and fajita nacho fries

I really love this place. They fix it accordingly and their customer service is always awesome. Thank you guys.

My wife and I were in the Dallas area for our 31st wedding anniversary and decided to look for a place that served authentic Mexican food. Some people recommend El-Paisa and man we were more than satisfied. It was just a small place but clean and very friendly. Even the customers were helpful when it came to selecting an item from the menu, all I can say is don't be mistaken by the outward surrounding because you will miss out on some very good food.

I was worried it was overpriced but after getting my food I'd say it's definitely worth it. Was recommended this place by a coworker and I have been converted, the Torta was so dang good and I definitely see myself coming back soon. Also the aguas frescas are good, I got Jamaica and it's hitting the spot right now in this heat. Definitely a good spot 👍

Great experience, great food, Ana provides excellent customer service.

We ordered the queso and chips, this is a great snack for a great price. The cheese is better than anywhere else I've ever tasted. If your looking at getting something bigger its always fresh and hot and just the way you ordered it.. I love this place!!

The Mexican restaurant, El Paisa, may be the smallest in Dallas, but it certainly packs a punch when it comes to delivering delicious food. I have tried various dishes here, but it's their burritos that truly steal the show. The first thing that strikes me about their burritos is their size. It's hard to believe that a single burrito can be so substantial. Whether I opt for just half or indulge in the entire burrito, I am always left satisfied and sometimes even stuffed. The portions are truly generous, making it a great value for money. What sets El Paisa apart from other Mexican restaurants is their dedication to creating flavorful rice. Usually, rice and beans are seen as mere accompaniments, but here, the rice takes center stage. It is bursting with flavor, each grain perfectly seasoned, and has a moist and tender texture. It's so good that I find myself not needing to mix it with beans or anything else. The overall dining experience at El Paisa is delightful. Despite its small size, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that you feel welcomed and well taken care of. The aroma of sizzling meats and spices fills the air, instantly whetting your appetite. If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine and are looking for a hidden gem, El Paisa is the place to be. Don't let its size fool you; the flavors here are big and bold. Whether you're craving a mouthwatering burrito or want to experience the tastiest rice, this restaurant won't disappoint. Give it a try, and you'll see why El Paisa has earned its reputation as a must-visit Mexican eatery in Dallas.

Nachos are the best especially since they are homemade chips.

Omg!! Not from here but so glad I stumbled across this place! I wish I lived closer to eat here every day. U can completely tell they put so much time, thought, and love into their food. This place is so worth the try if you love authentic Mexican food!

Best Tex-Mex in Dallas. I had the Sour cream enchiladas. The chicken & beef was tender and flavorful. Excellent salsa. And add an order of chips on the side, well worth it. Inside small and plain. Come for the food!

The food is really good! Pastor tacos are my favorite here. You should try them. Isaac and Lesnier are great with people too! It's a really cool place!

Kevin Marsh

Quick service, food came out quickly and was delicious.

Dee Peña

Ooook this place is great. I got a Torta from there. And I was going by how the picture looked. My god i was VERY HAPPY with my order. It was sooooooooo delicious. Next time I go that way I will be stopping there again. I never said at a restaurant how much i liked what I got so many times before. But I was very satisfied. Again DELICIOUS

Margie Bonner

It took them a moment to approach me at the counter but they were busy but she could have acknowledged me and said just one moment I'll be right with you

Rudolfo Torrez

Very delicious Mexican food. Employees are the very best with all categories food,service,and atmosphere.

KC

Carne asada tacos on flour tortillas were really good but the salsa made them great. I had the green avocado salsa ( my favorite) and the red which was also good. Stop by here and grab some tacos.

Jimmy Bonier

I am Jimmy and my first taco from this place was when they was just a table and a crock pot in the front of this liquid store on Harry Hine , the dad fix that taco for me.,great man and Jose he s a friend of my ,they done well .

Kuddie Fields

I call and asked was they still serving breakfast and the lady said yes. When I mad it breakfast was over I was very sad but they lady asked the cook to my me a giant breakfast burrito and she did. THE BURRITO WAS SOO GOOD I LIVE 25 MINS I STOP AT MY OFFICE FOR 20 MINS AND THE BURRITO WAS STILL HOT AND FRESH I TATSED EVERY FLOVOR AND THIS JUST MADE MY DAY IM MOST DEFINITELY COMING EVERY MORNING I CAN‼️

Ruben Avalos

Dallas is the worst place in Texas but El Paisa is the saving grace. Great tacos. Great beans and rice. Great salsa.

James Munoz

I've only ever been here for breakfast and I always get the biggest breakfast burrito with ham...I think it tastes fantastic, like if I made it at home. They're also fast, even when busy.

A Rodriguez

Best Homemade Mexican food...all the food. Picture looks good. But the taste. Yummmm!😁😋 Meat just falls apart, it's juicy, You can taste the chili just enough so you can still taste how good the actual food is.😁 I already ate some off of this plate. You get alot! And really great price... My fav pit stop! Oh, & has a drive through😍

jake palmer

There's lots of Mexican restaurants very close by, I was not sure which one to choose. I Got so LUCKY! The Woman who took my order was Professional and Nice. When the Cook finished with my Quesadillas, he was Very Nice also. So their Salsa bar has 4 sauces, some Cilantro and onion and I think cabbage. The verde salsa and the lighter green sauce are so amazing. I have Never liked any of the orange colored sauce at other Mexican restaurants, but they put an orange/red sauce in my to go order...I tried it and IT WAS HOT- TASTY and So Amazing. The rice and beans are So fabulous- the meat in my quesadilla IS TENDER AND FLAVORFUL!! BEST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN A VERY LONG TIME!! BEST MEXICAN FOOD I EVER HAD.

_HeyShaeee

I always come here for the chicken and beef nachos. They’re so delicious and you can tell the chips are homemade! The chicken and barbacoa tacos are also pretty tasty! 10/10

Daniel V

The best place to get some good mexican food I recommend this place to anyone this little place will surprise you the food is amazing customer service is great the quality of the food is what you can expect to be good and delicious I will recommend to get if I hit a tacos tortas or that quesadilla give it a try you won't regret it love this place keep it up the good work......

Jaison Tharian

The place was delicious, good food and the prices are great, mid average. The bathrooms were clean. The staff was friendly. They have a fresh salsa bar. I ordered the steak tacos 😍, they were fresh and delicious. I definitely will be back again.

Bomb local taqueria. Prices are all under $10 and they give you a lot of food. Location is small best for parties of $6. Parking is tight. But food comes out really quick and staff is friendly. Locals recommended this place and with all the competitors in the area this place comes out on top. Ingredients are fresh, meats are cooked well and the place is really clean. Great lunch and dinner spot. Everyone was raving about the tacos and opting for the fajita seasoned beef instead of any other type of meat

Delicious food. Taste home made. The service is impeccable. Fast friendly and always accurate. The dinning room is always clean.

No frills destination for inexpensive and delicious Mexican food. Delicious seasonings and salsas. Only a few tables (maybe 10) for dine-in, so take out is usually a better option. Highly recommended!

This place is nice the only issue is they need more variety of salsas they only have 3 different kind of salsas and all of them are tasteless

This place is small but packs a punch. Breakfast and Lunch are really good and affordable. No booze just a really good plate of food and their Tacos are the real deal. The staff is always nice. Their is a drive through or you can dine in at one of about 15 tables. The clientele is a virtual United Nations of diversity. Get you some....you will not be disappointed.

Was disappointed with the lack of seasoning on their barbacoa tacos. Looked very promising but lacked flavor unfortunately. However rating 4 stars because the real star was the nachos! Homemade tortilla chips took this plate to the next level! Chicken was seasoned good as well definitely a must try!

I came today with my partner to eat menudo before a 4 hr drive back home. We were very pleased to see they had bread to go with the menudo (instead of tortilla) although they also offer tortillas. But we were both sad to see their menudo is literally all meat, no hominy :( So when we asked for the menudo to have more hominy than meat, we were told to order red pozole instead. Overall the flavors are ok, we also tried a taco de barbacoa which was a solid 8/10. Great service though!!

Fantastic street tacos. Adding cheese was only 10 cents, which is nice. They had here different sauces (avocado, red and Verde) and a free pass bar with cilantro, onions and such. There is a difference between legit Mexican food and "authentic" Mexican. This place is legit. Don't expect them to speak English, have air conditioning or for everything to be perfect...but the tacos are very, very good and the burritos are huge.

I ordered beef enchiladas. They were very good. Would order that again.

Love me some El Paisa 👍👍👍 Always fresh and hot. Consistently great food. I have tried probably 75 to 80% of their menu in the 12 years that I've been eating at this location and I've never had a bad meal. Recommend very highly.

So we are travelers passing through. The food had a good flavor. I ordered the barbacoa, menudo, and ham and egg tacos. The barbacoa was VERY fatty but it did taste good. The menudo had great taste but they do not put hominy in it like most. We paid $80 for 3lbs of barbacoa, 3 large quarts of menudo, and some tacos. We were feeding 10 people and there was PLENTY of food, fixings, and tortillas for everyone! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the friendliness of the staff. They were very stand-offish, didn't greet me, and asking them a question seem burdensome. Other than that, I recommend this place for the taste!

Had the tongue and the al pastor. The tongue is amazing. The al pastor is average. Quick turn around and decent prices.

+1

Very good for the price! However, the quality is not great and the portion sizes are relatively small. Their food is similar to that of an average Mexican food truck. Not restaurant quality but way better than fast food. As long as they don’t increase the price, their food is a great deal!

KJ S

I order from here every other month or so. The food is unpretentious and good. I've tried many things and have yet to find anything that was bad. The place is a great value for a good meal (or two).

Everett Martinez

We have to get their nachos everytime we pass by. Tried their Giant Burrito w/barbacoa, and it was decent. I also got their guac & chips where I found the guac a little too lemony for my taste, but it was still good.

So I went in just before closing because I was craving tacos. Location had 1 customer in it who took an order to go. I walked in and was greeted by the employee. Who asked what i wanted hadny been …

tacos are subpar and the drive through was extremely slow considering I was the only car in it. Waited 10-15 minutes before I could even order and I was the only car in line. Better options next do…

3 stars, MOSTLY because i was in the drive thru and no one ever came to the window to attend me. I went inside and placed the order, received fresh tacos, however the cilantro and onion was either under temperature or old ...other than that, good tacos.

Came here for some tacos and yes they were good, not the best that I have had in Dallas. I like the atmosphere of this restaurant. The hot sauce wasn't that hot the barbacoa was okay and they use white corn tortillas for the tacos. All in all it was just okay, I definitely have had better but if I am in mood for tacos and this place is close i will go here.

I was drawn to this place by a picture of some nachos that said they were some of the best in Dallas! Exaggerated post! Although these were tasty, a bit overpriced for the amount you receive, I would Not call them some of the best in Dallas! They didn't live up to the picture there wasn't enough cheese, over did it on the cilantro and not nearly enough chips. There was plenty of meat though! The young lady who took my order was very nice also! I think I will go back for the tacos next time.

This place has the potential to become a hidden gem. The food is very authentic and delicious! Although they have a few challenges to overcome. The dining area is so small you can't enjoy your food for smelling the person next to you or behind you. Dirty tables and oh the condiment area let's see if you are a fan of salsa as I am then prepare to be disappointed because they never refill it. Customer service has a strong language barrier 🚧.

Food was great but took FOREVER TO EVEN PLACE MY ORDER, there were at least 3 employees, and they served two orders of drive through AND CONTINUED TO IGNORE ME, while cleaning and other ( I'm sure important necessary duties...BUT to make a customer wait for 15 to 20 minutes to even ask what he( or she wants ) when in the hour plus I was there, there were Only two or three to Go g customers so maybe MAYBE 7 OR 8 TOTAL, and still took almost 30 minutes to get my food, BUT. It WAS VERY DELICIOUS AND AUTHENTIC

Tacos were average, cashier did not know what to recommend, I asked him if he has ever eaten here, his response, “no”, TV is on informercials, volume is extremely high. Why this place has 4.5 Stars is beyond me. Not coming back.

Went through drive through entire order was completely wrong. Sadly, I didn't find out til I got home, some 22 miles away. I tried to call the number listed on the receipt, but it said vmail wasn't set up. I drove back out the next day to advise them, and the meats were wrong. Maybe it's my Louisiana accent 🤔

The food has always been good here.But seems like they don't know how to clean without,having all plate bags and even the lime taste & smell like their FABULOSO! I clean too and my stuff doesn't smell or taste like my cleaning supply! Will have to find a different place where I'm eating fajita and it taste like fajita.Not fajita with cleaning supplies taste 🤢.

Cold food, hard cheese. I tried calling to tell them and they hung up and now not answering. So unprofessional

Looked up the place with my family to see the reviews and see if it was worth going in and trying it out. Turned out the reviews were good 4.3 stars. Well going in didnt look to clean, went to order people were rude and they really didnt seemed what they were doing. They looked confused and they werent giving there all neither. Had to repeat the orders and they seemed like they didn't even care. Got our food and the food was not very good. Ill give the pastor tacos a 1, tripa tacos a 1 also. And the only ones that were ok were the lengua ones. Other then that would not be going back. Place not clean, people are not nice and tacos are not worth it.

The drive thru is horrible the staff doesnt know you're waiting. The food is your typical Mexican fast food, 6/10. The service at the window really bothers me.

Tjis place must be ran by idiots. I have ordered menudo from here almost every Saturday since I started working in Dallas and they have yet to ever fill my order how I request. I requested for bread for my menudo instead of tortillas not toasted and just plain and they just sent my order with toasted bread with MAYONNAISE! Freaking mayonnaise! The frustrating thing is that I sent the request in spanish!!! The menudo is delicious but their sevice is abismal. Looks like I'm gonna have to find a new place for menudo.

No one ever came to the speaker after waiting approximately 3 minutes. This was at 4pm so they were open.

First and last time I come here. The food was ok but the dinning room area was horrible. It was a mess! Part of it is that customers don't bother cleaning up after themselves. The tables were dirty and looked like they hadn't been wiped down at all. The floors were littered with trash and bottle tops. The condiments table has trash all over it! The trash cans were filthy and had flies swarming all over them. I was there around 3-:30pm lunch rush hour was long gone. That mess should have been long cleaned up. I don't usually write reviews about places but this experience I want people to know was not ok.

Okay.. first off the layout of the restaurant is very crowded.. the food: omg.. zero flavor. Had the chicken flautas which were ok.. my husband had the lunch plate of carnitas (tasted like a old towel).. then asked for the tortillas that were supposed to come with his plate, of course the waitress NEVER came with them.. he also ordered a taco de tripas.. which was not good either.. would not reccomend.

First and last time I come here. The girl I ordered from was rude, I was not aware that I had to go to a window at the other side of the building to pick up the food so I waited at the same window. She opened it, told me to go around and slam the window again instead of letting me ask where, as in park or what. She had an attitude the entire time. Definitely don’t recommend.

i came at 9:40ish saturday night i go thru the drive thru & the young kid in the window was too busy on his phone so i had to go inside & order. As im walking in the same thing on his phone watching tiktok i was literally at the counter in front of him & had to say HELLO. Overall the food is very dry & cold. I ordered chiles toreados they only gave me 1 small one i had to go inside for more so they’re stingy also & no cebolla asada given im not sure if i had to ask for it?🤨 but i noticed when i got home or else i would’ve definitely go back in & tell them.It was my first time here & my last the location in walnut hill is WAY better. The only reason there’s a lot of 5 star reviews is cause if you leave 1 they give you a free churro lol.

Worst place to eat! Not a clean place either!!! I order BEEF enchiladas an they give me this!!!!! To them this is there beef!!!! Looks more like pork to me!!!!! They should change there menu to pork enchiladas because it says beef on there menu.

Just pick up food there 10 minutes ago food was bad nachos was cold and cheese was hard and ordered casadias totally not good for the price they need someone with experience how to cook and serve food right sorry will not go back.

I have been coming to this location as well as my coworkers and we have received the worst service from Juanita!!! She is EXTREMELY RUDE and unprofessional!!!! I’m not sure if it’s due to my race and my coworkers and I have a hard time because the food is delicious but Juanita service is awful!!! Should be addressed her attitude is unacceptable and she should not be at register working with customers!!!!!

We ordered sopes from here and was extremely disappointed with the portion. In picture it looks decent but in person they are so tiny.

I have been supporting this establishment for years now and they have always been on point! As soon as I order them on DoorDash the stuff goes down! I never get my full order! Even if im specific I. Notes of what I need! I ordered nachos today with a side taco and I got no meat for the nachos! I had to use the meat from my taco! They never have full order correct when i order through doordash! I have noted several times how ihave been patient and did not wantto do this! Andddddd instead of meat they gave me beansssssssss! Im allergic to beans! As I have informed them in my notes "NO BEANS"

I went to this place for the first time and ordered 5 tacos, 2 pastor, and 3 carne asada. After the second pastor, I started feeling sick and have been having diarrhea for a week! I will never be going back!!

I will never go back.. been there a few times and it was good. But today on Labor Day 2023 I wanted some tacos. I just left that place went home to eat my tacos. I asked for 4 fajita tacos corn tortillas. When I got home all 4 tacos and what was supposed to be tacos was some dried up hard af stale meat. Must have been served some meat that was left over.. but come on how did they not know they were serving this. They will not get any of my money anymore. Be careful and check your order before you drive away. I wanted to take it back but didn’t want spit served with my food.

Stopped by today 2/17/22 to try place out since my bf raves about the food.. well let’s just say my experience here was ok.. Food was good but service is horrible. Walked in and there was commotion in the kitchen.. while my bf and i were deciding on what to eat not once did they stop hollering or cursing. Finally a guy walked up and saw us and told the rest of the employees there were customer up front.. Now the little girl taking the order had a very bad attitude and made faces when we questioned the food options. To top it off she still had the nerve to curse in front of us.. Food was good but not good enough for us to want to come back.. Owner should really consider his staff… 1 star because of horrible service even though food was good..

We had order huevo con chorizo with extra chorizo and we pay 3.00 dollars extra for each plate and gave us just reheat huevo and chorizo so my husband got up and took his plate back to him and told him that it was cold and that it did have the extra chorizo so they gave a other plate and they just heated again so it not far that we pay 6.00 dollars more and didn’t put it so be careful Whan you pay for extra cus they don’t put extra so we well never go back we where Costumer for years

WORST restaurant ever! My family parked at the restaurant just for it to get TOWED! The adults wanted to get something from the restaurant next to it so we went there first hoping to come back to order food for the kids but once we got served in the restaurant next to it we realized our whole van was gone! We contacted the police and everything just to find out the restaurant works with a towing company, this is robbery the company should always contact the owners of the vehicle letting them now that their vehicle has been towed! No sort of contact was made and left us one the road with nothing, wondering where the heck our van was! Do not come here if u don’t wanna end up midnight tryna get ur vehicle back! There was also no sign that said our vehicles can get towed, right next to the white jeep was our black Tahoe, there was not one sign!

John Tarpey

Tried to get in but the cashier woman just stared at me. Went next door to Gorditas and had a great meal. Other customers were coming and going.

Robert Jacobsen

Food wasn't good at all. I had the Torta with carne asada and it was bland. The highlight of the meal was the horchata which basically washed down the blandness with a ton of cinnamon flavor.

Chris Dallas

Usually the Food is Great, but they served me A Cold Plate of Nachos and Quesadillas with no cheese 🧀 and I called and they unplugged the phone line.
