Mi Dia From Scratch — Restaurant in Flower Mound

Yesterday we had to go to Flower Mound for business, and it was our first visit. It is a lovely city, and we decided to get something to eat before traveling back to our home in a different city. My husband and I enjoy eating out, and I enjoy doing reviews of places we’ve eaten at, and of places we’ve traveled to. We decided to eat at this establishment based on the reviews I read about on Google maps. I leave reviews myself, and so we thought this was a safe bet. I like to find something positive to say about places I review, so I am going to start with that. The waitresses were very pleasant and did a good job, except it was very hard to understand the gal who took our orders because her accent was so thick, and it was so noisy inside the restaurant. There were a lot of people there, but the loudest noises came from clanging pots and dishes in the kitchen; which was quite unpleasant. We couldn’t even have a nice conversation because it was so noisy. When the food came it was barely warm. I ordered Pollo Agave and it was honestly the worst food I have ever eaten. My husband had Juanita, which had enchiladas and a super dry tamale, and his was almost cold. Worse, it gave him heartburn all night. He almost always orders tamales in Mexican restaurants, so it should have been fine. When the waitress asked how our food was my husband told her it was barely warm, and to their credit they did not charge us for his. I didn’t want to make the situation more awkward, so I didn’t tell them about my dish being both cold and terrible so we just paid the bill, brought the food home, and threw it in the trash. There wasn’t any seasoning on my chicken dish, there wasn’t much chicken in it, it looked and tasted like they boiled it in water, and the white sauce was bland, bland, bland; not even salt or pepper. I have never written a review this bad, ever; you can check my previous reviews. I don’t know how the reviews I read about this establishment could be so far off from what we experienced, unless they had a new cook or something. I feel bad saying all of this, but it is the truth. And my husband would be the first to tell you that I am not a picky eater. Unless they correct these issues, do yourself a favor and...

This was our first time here. The food was absolutely amazing! Beautiful presentation, wonderful flavor and large portions. The margarita was stout and very tasty. The atmosphere was quite delightful as well.

The service was mediocre. Not horrible by any means, but with a party of 5, it would have been well appreciated to have the server prebus empty dishes, remove unused water glasses and empty cans to make the most of our space, especially since the sides are plated separately from the entree, doubling the number of dishes on the table.

Apparently, despite being somewhat upscale, this restaurant doesn't have fountain drinks. Sodas are served by the can, at $2.50 a piece with no free refills. I expect to pay top dollar for "from scratch" food, but $2.50 for a can of Dr. Pepper when I can get a 12 pack for $4-$5 left us feeling a bit violated. An old fashioned glass bottle, on the other hand, might have been a nice flare and well worth the $2.50! hint, hint

I had dinner with my son and friend last night. We were told that our wait time would be 35 minutes. There was no seating available at the bar. The one little bench at the Flower Mound location was taken by a couple also waiting for a table . It was too cold to wait outside. After waiting 35 minutes basically blocking the walkway, we saw a family being seated on the outdoor patio. The staff turned on the heaters. We decided to give the outside a try as no inside seating was available. We requested two orders of beef fajitas. The chips were outstanding. The hot sauce was way too spicy for me. You could tell the poor waitress was stressed. I requested a salt shaker 3 times. The Fajitas were outstanding. The corn tortillas were excellent. The refried beans were way too small for more than two servings. I requested a to go box for the remaining fajitas and two green chilies. Our waitress kindly wrapped what we did not finish.

I just took out my takeout to reheat. There were no rice or beans and the two large chilis were not included. The three flour tortillas she gave us were hard as a rock. Reheating them made them harder so they were not usable.This was my fourth time taking out of town guests to this unusual restaurant and I was frankly disappointed. I will carry a small salt and pepper with me the next time I go out. Considering the prices at this restaurant you would think the service would have been better. Flower Mound has plenty of Mexican food choices. Please do...
