Lalo's Fine Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Plano

You guys used to be great. Did you get bought out or something with all the changes? My wife and I went a few weeks ago to the Plano location on Park and surprised at no more free bean dip. Boy that was nice. Then the food came out lukewarm. Just a 2 table spoon size of refried beans and the casso cheese was watery/milky and not a good flavor as before.

So, I decided to try the Dallas location on Preston today and exactly the same thing. So sad. My wife and I always used to enjoy Lalo's from when they first opened.

I remember when El Fenix got bought out after 90 years of doing it well and the new ownership changed the Casso. It sucked. I heard they went back to the old casso recipe after all the customer comments.

Maybe Lalo's will get the hint too before they fail and have to close up shop. Here is my best business advice Lalo owner/manager: Go back to what you had that made people want to come back because mall quantities, cold food, high prices and now lousy casso is a deal breaker if you want and need repeats. The casso is a must...

The food was average to salty and greasy, not the best Mexican food I’ve had. The skillet caso was literally a skillet of hot oil. The food is definitely not good value for the money. It was served lukewarm, the brisket was very salty, and with the mixed beverage tax, one mango margarita was $17.00. On the menu, the “classic lunch” was listed as $14.95, on the check it was $16.95. By far that was the most expensive, and one of the worse Mexican restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. They’re more expensive than Villa Real in Las Colinas, a true “fine” Mexican restaurant. It’s definitely overpriced! The young waiter was very polite. There was no long wait because at 2 o’clock on a Sunday, I was the only customer. The ambiance is not very inviting, with poor lighting and decor. For 2, our bill came to $80 + $16 tip for two enchiladas lunches, one appetizer, one Margarita and one tasteless lemonade. I won’t be going back, and I don’t...

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. I was blown away by the attention to detail as soon as I walked in.

I was blown away by the ambiance, the music (Gloria Trevi, Juan Gabriel, etc), the decorations, the color temperature of the lighting, the accent tile used on the kitchen wall, the color of the napkins, the style of the cocktail glasses, the decoration around the bar, the wallpaper, the professionalism of the staff, and of course, most importantly, the food itself.

Our table of three each ordered a different entree and we were all delighted with our choices.

I got the cilantro queso steak fajitas. I was a bit skeptical about having queso on my fajitas, since I tend to be pretty traditional… but it was delicious and had a little bit of spice to it as well.

Strongly recommend their traditional margaritas and mango margaritas.

Can’t...
