Hole in the wall says it all. Next to an auto shop near the medical district, it was such a great surprise. Great service, friendly and all the classics you love - tamales , great spicey salsa, everything homemade. Don't expect a wine list or fancy cocktails, just great food in a casual friendly environment.

The tough thing about going to any Mexican place in TX is the reality that a restaurant is either a good Tex Mex or decently and authentically Mexican, but few restaurants can be both. You can't burnish your claim to making a proper cochinita pibil while also slathering scoops of sour cream over your chimichangas. Avila's is a venerable Tex... More

Host sucked, waiter was great, food was average at best and over priced, 3 tacos for 8 bucks, Mjl34 if this is in your top 5 places anywhere in the US then email me and i will personally invite you to my house and my wife will easily be #1

My husband and I enjoyed a meal here on a recent Thursday night while in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. We chose this restaurant after reading Trip Advisor reviews and we were glad we did! The food was excellent and our waiter (the owner's grandson) was most helpful and friendly. He recommended the brisket taco and paired it with a... More

I love both the brisket tacos and chicken mole entree! The salsa is super hot and the staff is friendly and helpful.

I read all the reviews and our group decided to try it out (we are all from out of town). We arrived and the parking lot was empty and two people in our group we not sure of the neighborhood.
