Mijas Taqueria - Lake Highlands — Restaurant in Dallas

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)...

This was my very first time coming to this restaurant. It’s relatively new and in my neighborhood. I ordered birria tacos and as you can see it’s nothing but a soggy falling apart greasy mess. The food came out suspiciously fast and the girl taking orders had an obvious attitude problem and just did not want to be there. I’ll never be coming back and I’ll make sure to let everyone know to not spend their money here. For a brand new restaurant there’s no excuse for these issues. The people they are employing just do not care about service or food quality. People like that should not be in the service industry. What a let down. * To the owners apathetic response to my review, case and point exactly. Just an overall careless attitude because it’s always the customer whose incorrect right? The customer is just complaining to be mean right? You couldn’t possibly have any room for improvement could you? Well just so you know, you may be a new establishment but you are not unique. You are one of a million restaurants in the DFW , begrudgingly serving up unpalatable, slopped together & spoiled “food” while surprised when your customers express any level of dissatisfaction. Why don’t you put your own tacos in your mouth and then tell me what’s wrong. You should really be ashamed of yourself for believing that it’s ok to serve other people what you served me. Please have some...

Mijas Taqueria is an absolute treasure for anyone who loves authentic Mexican cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warm, friendly service and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.

The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of tacos, burritos, and other traditional favorites, all crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The carnitas tacos are perfectly seasoned, with tender, flavorful meat that practically melts in your mouth. The vegetarian options, like the roasted cauliflower tacos, are just as impressive—bursting with flavor and creativity.

One standout feature is their house-made salsas, which range from mild and tangy to fiery and bold, providing the perfect complement to any dish. Don’t skip the horchata or margaritas—both are excellent and pair well with the meal.

The attention to detail, from presentation to flavor, sets Mijas apart. It’s clear the team takes pride in every plate they serve. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick bite, Mijas Taqueria delivers an exceptional experience every time.

Highly recommend to anyone craving a true taste of...
