Tortilleria La Nueva Puntada — Restaurant in Irving

Lowdown: "I can't believe it was that expensive, took that long, yet taste so bad" I would rate this in negative stars. Where to begin, walk into a line and a lot of people waiting. Then finally after waiting to order, well they take the order and charge $29. They leave a bag of tamales on the counter, and we wait. Someone hands us a cup of atole, and says the bag of tamales was ours. The person at the counter didn't even say anything, just took our money and ignored us afterwards. So we waited, then we waited, then we waited.... 30 minutes Then when the food finally came out, I made the mistake of leaving without checking the order. Bug mistake! We ordered 3 gordas, 3 sopes, 6tamales and a cup of atole. Well I specifically said I wanted fajita chicken, I can't stand the taste of boiled chicken. Guess what the gorditas were made of? They were boiled chicken!! I didn't eat them, the sopes were ok. They were actually mostly fat, but passable. Then I taste the tamales and the tamales were supposed to be cheese and slices of jalapenos. However the tamales are made out of canned jalapeños. I also forgot to mention that the chicken was cold and tasted bloody. I can't believe it was that expensive, took that long, yet...

Tortilleria La Nueva Puntada is a long-running local Mexican chain serving tacos, burritos, gorditas, and more in a casual setting. The food is delicious and authentic, and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend the carne asada tacos and the chicken mole burrito. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming.

The highlight of Tortilleria La Nueva Puntada is the fresh tortillas, made daily using both flour and corn. The tortillas are soft, fluffy, and slightly chewy, with a perfect balance of corn and flour flavors. They are simply bursting with flavor, and they make any Mexican dish even better.

I highly recommend trying the fresh tortillas from Tortilleria La Nueva Puntada. You won't be...

Just had lunch at this fantastic tiny Mexican restaurant. The service was warm and friendly and my gorditas were delicious and it was at least as affordable as Burger King and far more exotic and delicious. It's worth going to Irving just outside Dallas just for lunch. I complimented a counter person on my meal and she insisted that I give it to the owner who greeted me warmly recieved it graciously.

In short Would I recommend it.......... YES! Woulid I go again...................YES!

At every opportunity when I’m Dallas. I return for their authentic Mexican food.
