Dallas, Texas: Mi Dia From Scratch

I stopped at Mi Dia in Plano last night with a friend of mine. I have been several times over the years but I guess have never reviewed them. The restaurant is located off of the North Dallas tollway. The entrance is rustic and the doors are heavy and unique. Walking into the restaurant you are instantly welcomed with the beautiful aesthetic. The bar is one of the focal points of the restaurant and has a circular bar top with a prime view of the kitchen. I like the textured tile. The seating throughout the restaurant is well appointed, the bench seats are cushy and suck you in. I like the privacy screens that they used around the restaurant to create some division. Stacked stone on the walls give a nice texture. The patio overlooks a fountain and has a nice ambiance. A lot of the Craft cocktails are centered around tequila which I'm not a huge fan of but my friend certainly is. She tried several drinks and enjoyed them all but the one we got a kick out of was "when hell freezes over". It is a bubbling concoction that has a really nice spice profile and is served in a martini glass, the dry ice bubbled and fogged for quite a while. It was garnished with a spicy salted rim and a cucumber. Really fun. There were so many fabulous options on the menu it was really hard for us to decide! We had elote for an appetizer and shared the carne asada and the salmon. The carne asada was perfectly cooked and was served with sauteed onions, rice and borracho beans. I did feel like it was missing one other item of substance, perhaps peppers or small potatoes would have been a nice mix with the onions. The salmon had a delightful flavor and with paired with a mango puree and a shredded cucumber top. Both really flavorful. Our server was friendly and had great follow-up, she did a great job. Even though the dessert menu looked decadent and amazing, we had both eaten so much that we couldn't have managed a dessert if we tried. Wonderful experience, I love this restaurant and will certainly be back in the future! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really wanted to like this place a lot more than I did. I'm usually not a fan of these "upscale" style of Mexican food but I consider Gloria's to be about the best I've had of these types of places. As such I'm comparing the food to Gloria's mainly and not the smaller mom and pop places that I usually enjoy much more. We had the queso, steak quesadilla, and tortilla soup. Of those the queso and tortilla soup we're pretty good. Not great, not as good as Gloria's, but solid. The quesadilla though we didn't like. Didn't even finish it and we were splitting it. It had way too many cooked onions in it and was generally lacking in seasoning. Very bland. Could definitely use some garlic, peppercorns, and a little cayenne. The soup was also bland to my taste but had a little more flavor than the quesadilla. To make matters worse they don't have salt and pepper on the table so I couldn't remedy the situation at all. For the food I give it 2 stars. Overpriced (but really all of these types of "white style upscale" Mexican places are) and not much flavor. Where the extra star comes in is from the drinks. Had the margarita and sangria swirl, the hibiscus margarita, and the regular house margarita and all of them were excellent. Five stars for the taste with only a single star deducted because they are crazy expensive. So four stars for the drinks, two stars for the food for a total of a 3 * experience. Would definitely go back for the drinks, but probably on happy hour, and won't eat anything other than the queso there again.

Nom nom nom nom nom. That's what I want to do whenever I'm near Mi Dia! Coming from LA, I've never had Tex Mex until I came out here. Our first experience was at Torchy's Tacos which definitely is a solid choice, and we fell in love with their queso. My buddy told me to check this place out and now this our hands down favorite Tex Mex restaurant in Dallas! Service: Always excellent! Their staff is truly professional and friendly and informative! Never had my water glass empty :) Ambiance: It's a nice sitdown restaurant. Perfect for a dinner with friends or a date! Drinks: They have an extensive tequila selection, and great margaritas and mixed drinks. Food: We've tried several other dishes and they're all good. + Guacamole: They make it table side and it's amazing! It's a large portion since it has 3 avocados in it, but it also has tons of lemon, tomatoes, bacon, garlic, and salt and pepper goodness :) + Queso: Get it with the chorizo and you will be in cheesy heaven. + Sea Bass Tacos: This is my favorite dish here. It's got some great fresh flavors since the fish is grilled, and the sauce pairing is perfect! Price: It's not the cheapest, but well worth it for the food portion and quality! We'll definitely be coming back here soon :)

Mi Dia is a beautifully decorated restaurant serving Santa Fe, Mexico City, and Tex Mex cuisine. It is also a fun and popular restaurant so I recommend reservations if you go a popular night like Friday. We arrived Friday before 6 so we were able to take advantage of happy hour or $2 off margaritas and $1 off beer. We enjoyed the chips and red and green salsa with our frozen and on the rocks margaritas. I went old school and ordered a Tex Mex platter called Juanita; 2 enchiladas, 1 taco, 1 tamale, rice, and beans. It was a LOT of food. My husband was more adventurous and ordered the Enchiladas Del Mar with shrimp, salmon, and sea bass. Both were delicious. I would have liked to order the made-at-your-table guacamole but that will have to wait for another visit when we are starving. We decided to dine at Mi Dia because the restaurant was a featured restaurant at the 2024 Taste of Plano benefitting the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation. We will be back because we want to support businesses that give back to the community (and because the manager stopped by our table to thank us for our business!) Highly recommend!
