    We stopped here for lunch after the kid's swim competition in Addison, and wow, what a great find. The area is still up and coming with a ways to go, but this restaurant in a small nondescript strip mall is a winner. Look for the Target on Montfort and the restaurant will be there. The restaurant itself is pretty small and the interior is modest. Aside from a Mexican-themed stage for music, you would never know what kind of food is served. But everything is clean, including the bathroom. I had the taco plate (three to an order) with chicken Tinga, barbacoa, and carne asada. The Tinga is prepared like a stew and it is the best I have ever had. The chicken breast is soft, tender, and very flavorful. It was phenomenal and now I can't get the taste out of my head. The beef tacos were good too, but the Tinga stole the show. The tacos are street taco size with yellow corn tortillas. I loved everything about the plate, which comes with rice and beans, lime, cilantro, and onions. The tacos did not need salsa at all. The wife had the same three taco plate with Tinga, brisket, and barbacoa. I did not order the brisket because I was afraid it would mainly fat but hers were all meat. The flavor on the brisket was spectacular and the meat was tender. She had the flan for dessert and I tried a bite. I usually am not a fan of flan but this one was excellent. Creamy, smooth, and very flavorful. The great thing about this restaurant is that the quality of ingredients is high and the cooking tastes homemade. It does not taste like restaurant food; instead you would think you are eating at a good friend's house where the mom has spent the day preparing food for you. Our server Yesenia was friendly and efficient. We experienced no problems. The food came out quickly and was hot. We will undoubtedly be back anytime we are in Addison or the kid has a competition.

    Al pastor barbacoa asada

    This place was TO DIE FOR. I almost didn't stop in because there is a lot of construction, but I'm so glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised by this " hole in the wall." Don't let the outside fool you, this place is serving up some of the best food in DFW. I ordered a three taco plate, which came with rice and beans on the side and I was really full. I came here very hungry and thought three tacos would be easy to conquer, but they were so filling! I tried the Asada, barbacoa and Al Pastor in each taco was better than the next. My favorite was the pastor--so flavorful!!! The service was also great here they were a little busy for lunch, but I got my food very quickly and was asked multiple times if I needed a refill or or anything else. I also asked for extra hot sauce on the side and they had no trouble accommodating that . I will 100% come back to this place when I'm in the area!

    Fantastic street tacos. The side of rice and beans were also outstanding. I will come back and recommend that anyone in the area try this place. It's incredible.

    One late night, feeling hungry, my partner discovered this hidden gem! On a Saturday night, they had a live band and were open until 2 a.m. We arrived around 11:45 p.m. and found the place lively but not overcrowded, allowing us to be seated immediately. The table displayed a $10 entry charge, but we were not asked to pay this fee. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff was welcoming and responsive to our questions. I ordered the Spicy Pineapple Margarita, while my partner chose a Top Shelf Spicy Margarita. Both drinks were excellent and reasonably priced, as was the food. While waiting for our drinks and food, we enjoyed the live band. As the establishment is Hispanic, the primary language spoken was Spanish, so I didn't catch the band's name, but they were highly entertaining. They even performed "Baby Shark" for a young fan in the audience. We ordered the Camarones Al Ajillo (sautéed shrimp with rice) and Fresh Guacamole, which came with refried beans and salsa. The food was well-seasoned and delicious, living up to the high standards of Hispanic cuisine. The customer service was outstanding. I will definitely be coming back.

    I came here because I really wanted some tacosto. The tacos were alright. The service was okay - I think the waiter forgot to ask me if I wanted chips and salsa. The pineapple margarita was good but wasn't spicy. It wasn't interesting because the margarita was more expensive than the taco plate.

    Really good food and solid portions. Can't go wrong here. The staff was great, although they may not always be that good at English as my friend had to send her food back twice to get what she wanted. It was just a language barrier. I had street tacos and loved them all.

    Tilapia
    Cheryl R.

    Friendly service and good food. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have crispy tacos ... only street tacos. I had the tilapia and it was good. The rice was pretty bland, but still good. My partners carne asada was also good. Their address took me to the wrong location with google maps. It's in the Target parking lot north of 635.

    I've been to many Mexican restaurants in the area. This is the most authentic one I've found. Service was great, super attentive. Chips and salsa also include refried beans. I think their chips are their tortillas. Super tasty. I had a few tacos for lunch. Very tasty and filling. I wanted to try the menudo but they only have that on the weekends. Friendly staff and delicious food. The place is clean and welcoming. Come here if you want mexican but a step up from a typical taqueria. The quality you get for the price is very rare.

    Chicken fajitas so delicious
    Sam V.

    I had the chicken fajitas and was surprised how delicious they were! Brought sizzling to the table, smothered in peppers and onions. Sprinkled with melted white cheese. Served with homemade corn tortillas, guacamole, rice and refried beans. The dish was to die for. Don't forget the red and green hot sauce, so tasty! $20 with enough food for two people!

Since the weather has been so nice lately, outdoor seating is super popular, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you can.

The location is super cute and always packed. You definitely need a reservation or have to go super early to get a spot. There is valet parking as well as street parking, which can get a bit crowded. I've had a ton of different food items the years, but their fajitas are their signature dish for a reason! It comes out sizzling, fresh, and delicious. Do not pass up on the bone marrow sauce, it transforms the dish to beyond a 10/10! The salsas are always good and then tortilla chips salty and fresh. I start with a skinny margarita w a salt rim, which was good. Our waiter, Abraham, was great! He was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We also order the ceviche to start, which was yummy! The crackers were a bit of an odd pairing for me and I stuck with tortilla chips, but overall delicious!! My friend ordered the steak quesadilla and thought it was tasty too.

We hung out comfortably and had a couple of drinks before heading out. The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

    Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
