Mi Dia From Scratch

I don't care for it, but it's not even comparable in the style of food really.

Quit being such a food snob, Mi Dia is awesome and you just need to admit it!

No I will wait for Brent to post and say I am all wrong and the place sucks balls.

When you go to a nicer place you are paying for atmosphere as well, and there is nothing wrong with that.

We have not been to this place but we have gotten pretty hooked on Baja Grill over on William D Tate. Reall good ritas and very solid mexican food for a good price.. Last time we went it was about $55 before tip for us, and that included 3 $10 Margaritas and we ordered extra rice and beans to take home!

Their refried beans are excellent. One of my favorite in DFW.

For the cheap-asses like Henry, this may be an option to consider.

i refuse to spend that much money on mexican food.

i cooked some street tacos and rice last night that were perfect. Forget $50+ for some tortillas, meat, beans and rice.

Look at it this way, Uncle Julios is about the same pricing as Mi Dia, but Mi Dia is 10000000 times better. You can't compare it to any other mexican food in DFW.

Somebodies tortilla got twisted!

hey man, you got a problem with my cousin Raul?

Yes. He smells and his mother dresses him funny.

Then don't fucking go! You are constantly ragging on a place that you've never even stepped foot in, regardless of the great reviews given by every food critic in Dallas, much less all the people that have tried it on my recommendation, and loved it.

You obviously don't understand the idea of concepts, target markets, price points, or cuisine. Nor do you understand what a Chef is for, what the benefits are, and why people would rather eat there, than eating lengua tacos made by Raul Pablo Juan Jose that's making $4/hr under the table. Don't get me wrong, each one has it's place. I enjoy dirty fucking street tacos just as much as the next guy. But El Jalisco Taquito Ranchero Poblano isn't even in the same league as a restaurant like MDFS.

I believe Mi Dia is just taking advantage of their clientele and the area of Grapevine, everyone over there is making Choo-Choo $$$.

not everyone, homey

Than not worth the high price, to me at least. I have a hard time paying big money for mexican food when (as Brent will agree) the ingriedents are cheap, therefore making the food itself affordable. Beans, rice, tortillas, ground beef, chicken, etc. very inexpensive.
You should be able to go a mexican (tex-mex) and get served a big plate of food for under $10.00 a plate in my opinion.

A few places left here, but in San Antonio and Corpus, you eat great food for well under $10.00 and come out stuffed.

I think the point he was making refers to :

cui·sine/kwɪˈzin/ Show Spelled [kwi-zeen]
noun
1. a style or quality of cooking; cookery: Italian cuisine; This restaurant has an excellent cuisine.
2. Archaic. the kitchen or culinary department of a house, hotel, etc.

What if they sold textiles?

Would you call getting less than a full plate for $10 a lean cuisine?

What if it wasn't cuisine?

Their salsa is off the hook, I don't know where they get their peppers, but they are fucking hot. I have always wondered why they give you a small ass cup with maybe a few ounces, but after a few dips with chips you know why and you don't need much.

I remember it being really hot. My cousin loved that place and thought it was crazy hot too and he loved hot stuff. I only ate breakfast though. He ate the menudo.
