What happens when you scatter a number of quiet intimate settings around a large cafeteria-sized room and confuse everything further by serving tex-mex? Dress nicely, prepare to feel center-stage wherever you are seated and then shell out more than you would normally expect for tex-mex. It's pretty good tex-mex though. Not the best I've had, and not worth the hassle if you aren't already dressed nicely, but overall good tex-mex. less

This restaurant is a bit hard to find so call ahead to get directions.
Entrees ranged from $7 to $11. The atmosphere was nice and pleasant (we must have gone during a non-busy time). The service was good. Our drinks were constantly topped-off. Now, to the good stuff. I ordered the beef fajitas and they were nearly perfect! They were very juicy and very tasty and tender; I was very impressed! Portions were not huge but the chips before the meal helped fill me. I also tried a cheese enchilada. The corn shell was a bit tough but it was good. If you visit, be sure and get the beef fajitas!!! less

Nice atsmosphere, good food, ok service. Take business or guests here, very very busy on weekend evenings. Expect 30+ minute wait, no reservations. Try also San Miguel Inn in McKinney if you are into great food, and less interested in atmosphere. more
