Absolutely outstanding. The food was SUPER yummy - I ordered based on ingredients, and ended up with essentially a steak chile relleno COVERED in the most amazing queso. The meat was flavorful and tender, and everything was cooked perfectly. The staff made sure to check in and make sure we were happy - we will absolutely be back!

I will for sure be back. This little spot is a hidden gem. Small seating space, friendly customer service. The salsa is served warm and love the flavor, not spicy though just a good flavored chunky salsa. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup. Everything was good but I will return specifically for the soup. It has chunks of juicy chicken, superb flavored broth, chunks of avocado and thick tortilla chips. The chicken tacos with pineapple remind me of vacation to puerto Vallarta. Can't wait to take more friends here.

I recently found this restaurant and was blown away. First thing I noticed was their simple, straight forward menu. Second, their chips and salsa, I could eat the chips by themselves, they where soo good. But why would I? their salsas where excellent. I ordered the pork guiso, and it came out piping hot, it was excellent, both visually and flavorfully. Perfect rice, and excellent beans. Fresh tortillas, I went with both flour and corn, because I can never make up my mind. This is obviously a family run restaurant and the service was authentic and warm. It's been a while since I've seen such a clean establishment, both the dining area and the restrooms. I HIGHLY recommend this place, I will DEF be back.

Friendly and family-owned. I'm glad that I discovered Familia early in my extended stay in Irving. Tucked into a corner of a strip mall, it serves satisfying (and authentic) Mexican fare. My favorite is the Chile Relleno, an egg-battered Poblano pepper, stuffed with brisket served with fresh, house-made tortillas (try the corn!). Or order a plate of enchiladas, which will allow you to sample the variety of their salsas. The Chicken Poblano features a chicken cutlet, smothered in a tasty green mole sauce. The real borracho beans seal the deal!

Oh! What a Find in Las Colinas, TX My wife and I were in Dallas for 24 hours. We searched for good Mexican cuisine before heading to the airport. Familia Restaurant is now a favorite whenever we return to Dallas. Our Beef Chimichanga with the fixings was superb!!! The chips and salsa were quite tasty. And the sopapillas were so delicious. I should have ordered seconds to go! The restaurant was small, clean, quiet, and has a family feel to it. We are definitely coming back.

The best hidden gem! It's a small restaurant but serves amazing food! Staff is very friendly and helpful. I feel every item on this menu is delicious. I love mole so naturally had to go with that. It's not fancy but the food is made with love! Enjoy!

Delicious food in an intimate space. The first time i visited the restaurant, i was surprised when i walked in because it felt as if i was entering a ma and pa space leaving the big chains surrounding it outside (literally). The service was excellent as the staff welcomed us, walked us through the menu and took our order. The food is delicious. I have gone 4 times now and every time, i get the tacos al carbon. It hasn't failed me yet. Some friends that have joined me have loved the enchiladas. They have desserts too btw, so ask. Overall, i will keep returning because it is good food.

The enchiladas with green sauce were OK, remember pork and beans be careful if you don't eat pork. My favorite was the empanadas. I use chicken instead of beef and oh my goodness they were so good. So delicious. I liked it better than the main course. Very friendly service as well.

Have I found my favorite Mexican restaurant in Irving? Maybe. Have I found the best home-made (corn & flour) tortillas? - Most definitely!! A little place at the end of a strip mall on MacArthur, it actually looked closed when we arrived with all the shades drawn. (Hot tip... they let you discretely bring in beers from the liquor store directly next door. I had seen the great Yelp reviews and knew it had only been open a few months. It is a pretty small dining room with maybe 10 tables, but cutely decorated on a budget. Our server was very connected to the restaurant and making sure service was efficient. They set you up with a basket of what I believe are house made tortilla chips and 2 salsas. The green one is fantastic. We ordered the tabilitas (short ribs cut Korean style, served in a sizzling pot of juicy, salty magic sauce.) We cut the meat off the bones and placed it in the (house made!) tortillas and then dipped that into the sizzling sauce. When we ordered our served asked "corn or flour tortillas?" I could not decide so he gave us both, I normally am a flour tortilla gal, but these corn tortillas were very light and nearly indistinguishable from the flour one. SOOOO good. Our other entree was the chicken poblano. It was a pounded and tender, grilled chicken breast, topped with plenty of cheese and bright green poblano sauce. WOW, just really a unique but seemingly authentic mexican dish. I know it wasn't light, but the freshness almost made it seem healthy. It wasn't overly greasy. Each entree came with some beans and rice. The beans were nice and brothy with chunks of onion and peppers. I cannot wait to go back, and will bring my San Francisco friends to this literally "hidden gem" family restaurant in Irving.
