When it comes to Mexican cuisine, Texas has it going on and Frisco has plenty to choose from. Whether you’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo, or just craving good Mexican, we’ve got five places in Frisco to satisfy your craving while keeping you North of the border (121 that is).
Mattito’s in Frisco Square:
Excellent food, a top-notch patio, and a festive environment make Mattito’s a true Frisco destination for Cinco De Mayo or anytime you have a craving for Mexican. Belly up to the indoor/outdoor bar, or grab a seat outside with a view of Toyota Stadium. It’s a great place to catch the action while keeping a margarita firmly in hand.
Speaking of margaritas, they have a variety of specialty margaritas, but watch out for the blue one, whatever it’s called. I can’t even remember! It’s stronger than it looks!

Manny’s in Downtown Frisco
Manny’s is a family-owned, long-standing favorite in Frisco. Opened in 2000, they continue to serve up some of the best Tex-Mex around. Manny’s sports a fun environment in historic downtown Frisco. Manny’s will give you the feeling you’ve stumbled on to a well-kept secret, but don’t kid yourself, if you’ve been in Frisco for any amount of time, you know about Manny’s. And, if you’re new to Frisco, Manny’s is a must-go. So, if you have friends who haven’t gotten into the Tex-Mex thing, they also serve up “gringo-style” delicacies.

Gloria’s – Stonebriar
If you want to go a little more up-scale for your Mexican dining, Gloria’s is a great choice. They have a nice-casual dining environment and a beautiful patio overlooking a small pond. Gloria’s is great for adults (it’s a perfect first-date spot!), but still family-friendly. You can expect to see the kids having a good time around the patio while Mom and Dad sip their margaritas. Just north of Stonebriar mall, Gloria’s is a popular destination with excellent food. Get there early because they don’t take reservations.

La Hacienda Ranch
La Hacienda is a bit more Tex than Mex, but they make our list for some very good reasons. To start with, they have some of the best fajitas we’ve ever tried. Their steak fajita meat is out-of-this-world. They also have exceptionally good queso. La Hacienda is home to the frozen margarita… literally! La Hacienda Founder Mariano Martinez invented the frozen margarita machine, so you can bet you’ll get good ones here. While we’re at it, try the Hot Apple Pie for dessert. It’s to-die-for good, and a great share when you’ve only got room left for a bite or two.
La Hacienda is also a great place to take out-of-town guests for good food and that authentic Texas Tex-Mex experience.
