Emelia's Tex-Mex

I moved over in the area and this place is so consistently good , the prices are good, the staff is super friendly . 10/10

Emelia's has been around in The Colony for more than a decade and has been representing its Tex Mex scene. It has even gone under renovation over the years and is better now than ever. They have a mix of real Mex and Tex Mex options such as tamales, menudo, street tacos, Tex Mex tacos, you name it. I also love when casual restaurants like this serve margaritas and beer flights.(4/5) Chimichanga (Ground Beef)Giant deep fried flour tortilla stuffed with rice, cheese, and choice of meat and covered with queso They stuffed it with a lot of meat and I liked the texture of the rice.(4.5/5) Mango Frozen MargaritaThey have two choice of frozen margaritas, mango or regular. You can get Chamoy and tajin added as well. Not too strong, not too weak, I'd say it was perfect!

In town for business and my boss wanted Mexican food. Searched all the reviews in the area near us and this one came highly recommended! It's a small location where you order your food and then choose your own seat. The service was super friendly though the entire time and they have a very extensive menu.My boss went with the Carne Asada plate. And said that the meat was super tender and really good seasoning on it. I opted for the chicken fajitas and they were amazing! Chicken was nice and seasoned with grilled onions and peppers and shockingly potato slices that were perfectly seasoned. I opted to go with corn tortillas, but you do have the option of flour tortillas as well. We also tried their guacamole and it was amazing. It is a little bit of a smaller portion, but it was plenty for just the two of us. Overall, really love the authentic flavors that you get from this location and the fact that you're supporting a mom and pop business.

This place keeps popping up as a recommendation so I finally tried it. Breakfast tacos - 1 bacon and 1 sausage. Super cheap $2.39. So glad I did it. 6" Tortillas were slightly grilled, soft and warm. Eggs were freshly cooked, lots of cheese and generous amounts of meats. Sausage taco was my favorite. Asked for a side of pico de gallo and received a healthy and tasty bowl that I piled onto the tacos. I tried both salsas and found that the red was mild and the green salsa was pretty darn hot. Service was fast. Tacos came out in about 2 to 3 minutes. I've definitely found my new breakfast taco spot on the west side of Frisco. (Even if it is in the colony.) next time I'm gonna try their burrito. Bigger than the taco and a $1 more.

Fish taco 5/5 great, although the fish pieces are small Street taco carne 4/5 Could be better Beef fajita 3/5 There was no charred smell, they put tons of onions, green chili pepper and to my surprise potatoes .. presumably so the beef could be less. I've had way better fajitas at other places

So good! Enjoyed the sampler appetizer. The chimichanga was great, kind of weird to be stuffed with rice instead of beans. Would definitely order to go from here again when in the area! Service was prompt

Food was really good. I wasn't a fan of their hot sauce sadly but aside that I was pleasantly pleased with everything I had. I like real Mexican food and this tasted more authentic than most. Service was friendly and fast and the vibe in the place was relaxed and I legit kicked my feet up after my meal. Something no mother ever gets to do lol.

Our go to place for street tacos and nachos! if you want authentic (or tex-mex) tacos this is definitely a must stop in Carrollton/Colony! Even after moving to McKinney my husband and I take every opportunity to stop here when we can! Service is wonderful! They're always so kind and definitely recognize you after you've been there just a few times! Ambiance is very comfortable! Plenty of booths, high tops, and tables for the area that's available for them! We wish something like this was in McKinney!!

I have been an Emelia's fan since way back when- it's been a hot minute since I've visited but I had a giant craving for street tacos with the mere mention of them- I knew just the place.Scooted on down to Emelia's, and wow, they had really opened up the place- lots more room for seating. Food: I ordered the small queso for $3.99, I was a hit disappointed in the size. I thought maybe it would be in a to go soup container but this container tiny. Just a bit larger than the to go salsa container. Delicious flavor, disappointing size for $3.99 I also wanted to try the appetizer platter- BIG WIN! Quesadilla- amazing flavor, burrito- crispy and cheesy and savory. Flauta- too crispy and not enough filling. Beef nacho and chicken nacho- very tasty and seasoned well! It comes with a little dollop of sour cream and guacamole Had to try the street tacos- that's why I went in- I ordered a chicken and beef but I they must not have heard me correctly- I received a shrimp and chicken- good thing I don't have any allergies or that could have been bad news- both really fantastic! Both tacos were filled with all the good stuff. Loved the crispy crust and crunch of the tacoOverall I love this place, really reasonable prices & portions. I am very pleased. I'll be back sooner than later.

Biggest breakfast burrito i've seenFood: California burrito & small horchata $14.05. Coming back to try their brisket breakfast tacos and dinner items. Flavors were pretty standard - steak was a little on the saltier & dry side. Service: The girl was nice and helpful. Burrito came out in less than 5 minutes.
