La Moderna Mexican Market — Restaurant in Dallas

We had a family of 7- three moms and teenagers. Some, picky eaters. We drove past this spot and tried it out. We walked in and it was full of Latinos (good sign). We ordered the breakfast tacos and they were delicious- with fresh flour tortillas. I mean DELICIOUS! The restaurant allowed for custom orders for the breakfast tacos (yay for the picky eaters). We also ordered the carnitas tacos and the kitchen made sure to crisp up the carnitas- which is amazing! Not everyone does that. The family that runs the restaurant is SO NICE. We are debating breakfast this morning. We want to try a new restaurant but yesterday's breakfast was so good- we want it again! Note: We are all foodies. Just came back from two weeks in Vietnam. We love good food... and we love La Moderna! Going back to Philly happy! SECOND Note: one other review said the food was lacking flavor. I think she meant the food wasn't salty- which it isn't. We ordered breakfast tacos- it's eggs, potatoes, and chorizo. No sauce on this dish. Just fresh ingredients folded together with a little pepper and salt. Now, I did agree with another reviewer that said the table sauces weren't hot. I would like to see a spicy version! THIRD Note: I think this restaurant doesn't have a lot of reviews is because many of the patrons are Latinos and don't do the Yelp or Google thing. The ones that are reviewing aren't the...

What a little gem this family owned restaurant is! Authentic real deal mexican food cooked fresh to order is what this place is all about. The ladies who work here are beyond friendly and just sincerely want you to be pleased with your meal. Upon being seated, they bring you homemade tortilla chips and a warm tomato based thick salsa. More on this salsa in a moment. Aguas Frescas are indeed freshly made using real fruit and cane sugar and so delicious. We had Gorditas and a choice of homemade flour or corn tortillas. I got a breakfast taco too as they serve breakfast all day and it was the best thing I had (chorizo, egg and queso fresco). The restaurant is spotless although not fancy by any means. It's truly like being with family here and having your Tia make you food. I had to take off one star however for this: They serve Salsa Verde and Salsa Rojo with your meal but both need alot of help. These nice ladies need their Abuela to teach them how to make some picosa salsa as both of these were rather bland. The salsa they serve with the chips is the best one they make. Trust me on this. We had no room for dessert but we did spot some Flan which no doubt is homemade too. Just...

I’ve been coming to La Moderna MX for over a year now, and it truly feels like one of the best-kept secrets in the neighborhood. Just down the street from where I live, this small, family-owned gem serves some of the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in Dallas. Over time, the owners have become like family to me—not just because I eat here two to three times a week, but because of the warmth and hospitality they show every time I walk through the door.

The tortillas are always incredibly fresh, the breakfast tacos are made to order and absolutely amazing, and the picadillo beef is easily some of the best I’ve tasted anywhere. While I personally don’t eat menudo, a friend of mine swears by it and says it’s the most authentic he’s had in the city.

La Moderna MX is the definition of a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall—humble, welcoming, and rich in flavor. Every visit feels like a quick escape to a quiet bodega in a village in Mexico. We’re lucky to have a place like this in...
