Chips Salsa Tex-mex Cantina - Garland

Went here twice cause its close and we wanted mexican food mixed up our order the first time we went. Took us a while to agree on coming here again (we had a gift card). Second time we went, for a place thats called chips and salsa chips tasted burnt and were unappetizing. We were one of about 3 tables being served when we walked in and some other families started coming in only for us to see tables that were seated after us get their orders taken first and receive their orders before we even got to order was frustrating. Food was not worth the price as my rice was undercooked and hard to chew. Safe to say wont be eating here again lol

I guess the most important thing is the food. So let's start there. It was pretty freaking good. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu. Their chips and salsa were good. I also had nachos grande (I think that's what they were called. It was the top nacho option. The way they put it together was a new experience for me... but I liked it! It was like they already put all the fixings on a each (large chip for you. As opposed to the normal dump of meat and fixings on the top of all chips where you end up running out of fixings but have a whole bunch of chips left. Great idea Chips Salsa!! Service... Not bad, but I have a feeling that my food that I ordered online and was to be ready at 7 was not prepared until I arrived. It was late, but not ridiculously late. However, I was trying to be out the door so a twinge frustrated. It was not too bad. (However, based on the fact that every table in there was not filled, I am not sure why they were behind. The dining room was nicely populated which one can infer they serve good food.

When we walked in, the hostess met us with silverware and menus in hand smiled, greeted us actual hospitality. Our waitress checked on us regularly and the food was fresh and delicious. This is a well run business with a trained staff, I was totally impressed. I will definitely be back!

I had such high hopes for this place based on the reviews but it just missed the mark for us. We came here since they have mole chicken on their menu, my absolute favorite dish. It didn't have a nice rich, deep flavor as other moles I have had....tasted more tomatoe-y. My husband and son shared the trio fajitas with beef, chicken, and shrimp. They were just ok. My daughters got.thr mushroom and chicken fajitas and they were over done. What really stood out was the queso, it was so good! It had a unique flavor to it and I would go back for that alone! We also really enjoyed the churros. It took forever forever to get drinks, which I could totally understand if three workers weren't just standing around. 2 actually looked me right in the eye and didn't even move to come over to us. That was frustrating. Once another, waitress made her way to us everything was better since she was super nice. I'd likely come back since I live down the road but will also try some other places first.

Mgmt change since we came Two months ago. Your wait staff is excellent, the problem is your cheap owner putting potatoes in the fajita plate, no sizzling, dry, lack of oil. I let it go last time, so you wonder why your sales are down. I’m a foodie, high end and low end, never seen potatoes in fajita, cheapens the dining experience. If I want potatoes, I’ll go to Burger King. Last time and this time, takes forever for the food, should have kept your old mgr. Your going down hill in this place. Change the mgmt. and the cooks.
