For more than forty years, Enchilada’s Restaurant on Greenville Avenue has stood as a reliable destination for anyone seeking classic Tex‑Mex cuisine in Dallas. Its reputation rests not only on consistency and generous portions but on a menu that balances tradition with thoughtful variety. While the restaurant is named for its enchiladas, the menu is expansive, offering a broad range of dishes that appeal to families, longtime locals, and visitors alike.
At the heart of the menu are the enchiladas themselves. The sour cream chicken enchiladas are rich and creamy, filled with tender chicken and topped with a smooth jalapeño-infused cream sauce. The brisket enchiladas combine slow-cooked beef with a subtly smoky jalapeño sour cream, giving the dish depth and complexity. Traditional beef or cheese enchiladas are smothered in chili con carne or chili con queso, satisfying those who crave the comforting flavors of classic Tex‑Mex. Each enchilada plate comes with rice and beans that are seasoned just right—rice with a hint of tomato and garlic, beans that are rich and slightly smoky—creating a complete and hearty meal.
Beyond enchiladas, Enchilada’s menu shines with its fajitas, which come sizzling to the table in cast-iron skillets. Options include chicken, beef, or shrimp, all marinated and grilled to maintain juiciness and flavor. These are accompanied by grilled onions, peppers, warm tortillas, and classic toppings like guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese. The taco platters are equally robust, featuring choices like carne asada, grilled fish, or chicken tinga, all served on soft tortillas with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and lime wedges for a bright finish.
Appetizers are a highlight as well. The stuffed jalapeños, filled with cheese and lightly battered, are crisp and spicy without being overwhelming. Queso flameado, bubbling with melted cheese and chorizo, pairs beautifully with the house-made tortilla chips. Guacamole and pico de gallo are fresh and flavorful, often disappearing faster than expected from the table. For a heartier start, the nachos are layered with beans, cheese, jalapeños, and your choice of meat, making them a perfect communal snack.
Desserts and drinks hold their own on the menu. Flan, fried ice cream, and churros provide sweet endings with classic Mexican flair. Margaritas are a central part of the experience, from frozen to on-the-rocks, with flavors ranging from lime to strawberry, always balanced and refreshing. The beverage menu also includes house-made sangrias and a full bar for those seeking a more spirited accompaniment to the meal…
