All of the flavors we tried were great. Our daughter had the ground beef tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them. Highly recommend this place! ”
“ One of our favorite places to go! We make it a mandatory stop when we’re through McKinney and always love it. The Chicken Mexicana Tacos and the churros are amazing, always excellent. The service it top notch and the atmosphere was welcoming even to our large party. Highly recommended!! ”
“ We had an excellent tex mex lunch at Petra a week ago. Ordered their veggie enchiladas and assorted tacos. Everything was delicious. Chips and salsa were the best I have had so far and I live in NYC. ”
“ I have had a fantastic experience with them! Regardless of how many times I visit, they remember my name and preference of Margaritas (which are AMAZING) It’s a family owned business and you can tell because it’s very caring and fulfilling. I can bring my family or just swing by myself and it’s the same great and enthusiastic service. ”
“ A lively dining atmosphere that's well suited for friends and family to gather and enjoy good food and drink. The dining area is a modern, cozy design with tables, booths and nooks. The menu is simple and does not overwhelm. The food was hot and well seasoned. The salsas were exceptionally good for dipping chips. The portions are well sized. You can add an extra taco or enchilada for an additional few bucks. I was happy not to see my enchiladas swimming in refried beans and rice. ”
“ High end flavor at an affordable price! All the ingredients are fresh and FULL of flavor. The wait staff is pleasant and attentive. My husband and I ordered a variety of items to try a little bit of everything. To start, the two salsas provided are delish! One is spicy (green) and one is mild (red). The chips are as light as a tortilla chip can be! We also tried the Pasilla Chicken Ensalada, Tacos al Pastor and Tortilla Cream Soup (so good - smoked flavor). Everything is scratch made with great detail - and you can really tell with every bite! Only bummer is I wished I had thought to take pictures of the food sooner! The vibe is great too - great music and modern decor! ”
