Petra - McKinney

Very friendly reception by the hostess; excellent service by the waiter. he was attentive, recommended several dishes and made our eating experience a pleasant one. eating? absolutely delicious especially tacos al pastor. I love this restaurant offers a jarrito soda, tomatillo sauce and a delicious dish. a and additionally it offers military discounts.

If I could I would give them zero stars. I don’t write reviews very often but I felt the need to make one about this particular restaurant. I came in recently during my lunch break and not only was the “authentic Mexican food” not authentic what so ever but not good. I got shrimp tacos and the shrimp had no seasoning only a fishy taste. The rice was bland and had no flavor. Not only was the food not good but neither was the atmosphere. I felt uncomfortable and realized that this “Mexican food” place had no diversity. In my opinion I do not think having blown up photos of hispanic children being used at decoration is appropriate. As a hispanic person I think it is a bit inappropriate despite the fact that there were no hispanic people or any people of color in general. I provided a few photos that I found on their instagram page with the pictures in the background.

I'll begin this by saying the service was outstanding. It was a pleasure to spend time eating out at Petra.We have seen this place and have wanted to try it out for a long time, just never got back up in that direction.The food was wonderful with one exception. The food was not cold but it was just warmer than room temperature. I think the plate was warmer than the food on it. The flavors were great but I would have enjoyed it all better if it was warmer.We will be back... so many items on the menu that need to be tasted.

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 stopped in for a late lunch today while I was out today after a meeting, I have driven by many times but decided to stop and give it a try. It was close to 3:30, so not many patrons inside.The decor is clean and uncluttered. I decided to sit outside on the small patio, the tables and chairs are colorful with a bright yellow awning overhead.I had chips and salsa delivered immediately, served with two salsa options, one red, one green. Both salsa's have a good flavor.Then I sat, and sat, and sat.I hadn't eaten all day so was incredibly hungry so went inside to the bar and asked for a server to come out and see me and ordered a beer from the bartender. Walking back to my table the beer is warm so I turn right around and asked for a cold one. Bartender laughs and says he just put them in the fridge. ?The server finally came out and was friendly, took my order and had some good suggestions from the menu. I ordered a sour cream enchilada and a Baja fish taco (with no tomato or onion) rice and borracho beans. The Baja fish taco came out unfortunately with onions that I picked off but still tasted very strongly of onions. The enchilada had a creamy sauce and was really nice but rice and beans were very bland.I don't often give 2 stars but the experience was worthy of it in my opinion.
