10 reviews for Mercado Juarez
I hadn't been to Mercado Juarez in quite some time and had all but forgotten it. But my dad was visiting from Boston and asked if we could go to "Mah-cado War-ez." Well, sure Dad. And off we all went.
It was just as good as I remembered it. Simple, tasty, inexpensive, friendly Mexican.
I remembered fondly the Mercado circa 1999 and after lunch today - I realize they have moved from quality to quantity a-la commodities based mexican cuisine. I do however like the warm salsa and the tortillas are fresh, thick and warm AND it is extremely fast on both sides of the restaurant. I think the secret is to order the fajitas in the "long" wait side and order them off of the little menu on the table and not the menu the hostess gives you. Not bad for a quick lunch in Las Colinas...
They do have good food here.
It's been a long time since I went, but I know that I had enchiladas which were very good. The queso taste great, but it doesn't feel authentic, kinda like a thin melted Velveeta dip. Ummmmmm.....Velveeta.
The atmosphere is nice, and when I went once we were serenaded by a mariachi quartet, which was really cool.
The menu has a good balance between Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes.
Consistently good food and fast service.
For me, Tex Mex comes down to the enchiladas. I have had a LOT of enchiladas here in Dallas. Probably every mexican place I have been to. And these were hands-down the best beef enchiladas I have had here. If thats what you are after, you should try these. I was into the beans too. Oh and the flan. Those are all very solid. I was not really a fan of the salsa or the queso. Neither was anyone else I was with. It's a good place but it is definately not my favorite place in Dallas.
This is the best mexican restaurant on the planet. I've been going since I was a child and I keep coming back. The chips, salsa, and tortillas are amazing. They have the best queso, best chimichangas, best tortilla soup, everything is incredible.
I haven't taken a friend or date there yet who didn't want to go back.
This place is incredible!
Recommend: The Queso, the Chimichanga, the Rellanos, the Flan, the Quesadillas, hell anything there.
I went to this place twice in one week. The homemade salsa and chips are warm and tasty. I almost didn't have room for dinner I ate so many. There is authentic Mexican food as well as Tex-Mex. The food has just the right blend of spices.
I had the beef enchiladas, which were fantastic. And you can't beat the margaritas.
Best Mexican food ever to me. Dumpy, very unfancy, but super good. They make their own tortillas right there in front of you along with the salsa. Very authentic and reasonably priced. Huge menu but everything is worth trying. One of my favorite places in the Dallas area.
4.5 STARS WoW! When I really want to get my OLE' on, I travel from Garland to the other side of Dallas to Mercado Juarez. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. The hot sauce is served warm and tastes terrific as well as the hot chili con queso. If you are daring, try the Queso Habanero- you request the heat level to your liking, but be forewarned- it can be really hot as we found out when our 23 year old heat seeking son ordered it at its hottest. We had to take some home because we could not finish the blistering volcanic concoction.
Their specialty is their Mesquite grill. I had the Mar y Tierra, a juicy grilled chicken breast with equally prepared shrimp.
They also serve pork fajitas if you are tired of the usual beef, chicken and shrimp.
If you like authentic Mexican food, they also serve cabrito- young goat. My friends from the south say it's good. There are too many other good choices on the menu for me to explore the goat.
The pork tamales are good, the masa has a smooth consistency and the pork is not dry as some can be!
This is a very good place to eat. Good-Food, fairly good price. Not loud like most other Mexican restaurants can be. The service is quick and are very nice people. Its just one of the those place that if you go there you wont be disappointed in what you get.
