Mijas Taqueria - Lake Highlands

I was in the Lake Highlands area and decided to try this new taqueria out. My mom used to frequent the location in Wylie before they closed and she has used them for catering for private events as well.

I got the taco plate with rice, beans and three tacos. Fajita, carnitas, and chicharrón were my choices- the fajita was my favorite because it was stuffed but it lacked flavor, the carnitas also lacked flavor (the ones Michoacána has taste way better) and the chicharrón was more on the meaty side and literally had zero flavor and barely any inside the taco. The tacos overall lacked flavor- the beans and rice were good. They came out quickly but the food was barely warm.

My boyfriend also got tacos- he said they were mid and wouldn’t come back. He also got a beef fajita quesadilla and that was ok.

My daughter got the quesadilla birria tacos- the birria is beef and they had good flavor. The only issue was they were too soggy; the tortilla was soft and you really couldn’t dip the taco in the broth without it falling apart.

For dessert we got flan and churros. The churros were mid- nothing out of this world. The flan had real good flavor. . . . probably my favorite thing here. The horchata agua fresca was not good.

The place is nice, very clean and well maintained and the customer service was great! The girl that took our order and the girl that brought our order out were both very friendly.

My boyfriend said he wouldn’t come back. I probably would for the birria tacos (just ask for extra crispy tortilla) and the flan.

The restaurant was big and clean. The service was great. It had big booths on each side with tables in the middle. I ordered tostadas with beef fajita meat. It had beans, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and a little bit of white cheese (goat cheese) on top. The fajita meat was grisly, and I was disappointed that it didn't have shredded cheese on it. My husband had enchiladas Rojas with rice beans. The enchiladas were okay and the rice was good. I had a Coke which was served in a bottle. It was great. It had sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup.

Had lunch this past Friday. Place was very clean & great service. Had the taco plate (chicken tinga, Carnitas & barbacoa.) The pozole was very good. Great flavor profile. If you want real Mexican food, go here. This is not Tex-Mex.

The food was delicious. The location was clean and the queso and chips were pretty good too. I had bottled Fanta and my friend had a bottled Sangria. If there were more staff it would help with quicker service but overall it was a positive experience. I will go back again and try the tacos.

Very tasty!!!! We are always looking for good tacos close by and we can’t say thank you enough for coming to our area! Very family oriented and I’m sure it was the owner that came out and gave our son some rice. Very sweet of you. We had Trompo tacos all the way around, rice and beans, elotes, shrimp cocktail, and earlier today my husband came for lunch and had the quesabirria tacos! Overall great experience and looking forward to coming back often because we live exactly a mile away!!!! This could be dangerous but so worth it!!!
