Excellent old school Tex-Mex place with enough of a refurbish to shine

We were a large party of adults that trickled in over the course of 90 min or so. Jackie was our server and was PHENOMENAL. Always taking care of our requests and extremely attentive. Brad the bartender was equally as great! We basically shut down the bar and he was so kind, engaging, friendly and never once told us it was time to go. Great overall experience. The only suggestion I have for improvement is my steak was very tough and hard to cut. I ordered it medium, it seemed more well done I guess? Overall great experience and if we’re ever in this part of FW again, we’ll be back to Pulido’s.

Excellent food. Cantina style chips, great salsa and queso, stuffed jalapenos are fantastic! Tried the chicken fajita enchiladas but found out it was actually a cheese enchilada with fajita chicken on top. Was good, just not what I was expecting. Will definitely be going back.

Great food, even better service. We had a combo plate and a Caballero plate, and will be back to try others for sure. Be sure to ask for Lola, she was amazing! There were also other wait staff who checked on us as they passed by.

We have gone to this Pulido’s location over the years, and the food was good, but not great. It was sad to hear when they closed, but honestly, not too surprising. A week ago, we had family visiting for Thanksgiving and found ourselves nearby and came back to try it out since reopening. We were all very happy with what we found. The food was better than we remembered (good quality, tasty, and very filling). The restaurant had been spruced up and the servers were very friendly. We are planning to go back soon since we will again be in that area. Glad that they reopened!

To start, we got seated immediately. The service was on point. There was never a moment where we had to ask for refills, and the coke was done correctly. The queso and salsa were done perfectly (so many get the basics wrong). The papa plate was excellent. The hardshell taco wasn't a favorite, but it never is. You could tell they didn't cheap out on the food, and as someone who has been downtown in places where it was 6 dollars a taco, this was extremely well priced. The servers were always moving and checking in with people, and my wife was in love with the deserts. 9/10, we'll definitely be coming back.

I’ve been going to Pulido’s since I was a kid and I was worried after reading reviews that nothing would taste the same since the re-opening. I can’t say everything IS the same but the salsa and cheese enchiladas definitely are! It was so good to enjoy this meal again after not having it for a few years. The atmosphere felt the same and the service was great. I’m so glad Pulido’s is back!!!
