    This place is clean, which is very important for me. Barbacoa Lamb is delicious. Took a pound "to go"-this is how good was it. Menudo is good, ingredients were fresh. Open kitchen. Was really impressed how polite and friendly staff was. Will definitely go back.

    As you roll down Hawn Freeway (Hwy 175) by Rochester Park, you'll think, "What a wonderful place to dump a body." Exit at Lake June (west), go about a block, and hang a right down into a crappy lane filled with garages and body shops. The restaurant is a cinder block building (a former auto shop) with a rollup garage door on one end of the dining room. Sit down (picnic table seating) and talk with one of the personable waitresses because there aren't any menus. You want their signature roasted lamb tacos ($2) and a bowl of the terrific white bean soup ($6). The soup is muy especial because it has chunks of lamb in it and the beans were cooked while collecting drippings from the lamb as it was roasted at the wood fire. You can order individual tacos. Or, get meat by the pound brought out in a covered chafing dish. Either way, you get all the usual accompaniments (chopped onions & cilantro, limes, red & green sauces). BYOB, but take along some go-cups, because they don't like having beer bottles, etc out on their tables. Decorum, decorum. IMPORTANT: 6 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday only

    Si duda la mejor Barbacoa de DFW, en verdad me sentí como estuviera en el Borrego Viudo!!!!!

    This is the real thing, The Barbacoa de Borrego and the consome!!! are a hidden GEM!!! it is same flavor as the one I used to ate in Hildalgo Mexico. The place is to take out, they give you salsa, tortillas, onion... everything you need to eat it at home, you will enjoy it.!!! The have some tables as well if you want to eat it right there but it won't be the nicest place, their customers are constructions are landscapers, so I don't know if it's the kind if place that you will take your family.

    We arrived at 1pm on a Saturday we had to call before making the 30 mile trip to make sure that they were still serving barbacoa, on a previous occasion we came all the way to find out that they were out but it was on Sunday which is their busiest day, as another reviewer stated "early bird gets the worm". Although the outside of the place isn't inviting it's the classic whole in the wall place that will pleasantly surprise you. There can not be good barbacoa if you don't have a great conzome "broth" to pair it with, the conzome has to always be served very hot in temperature make sure to request for that when ordering. We started with a couple of handmade gorditas, bean and cheese and chicharron they were delicious specially with green salsa on them. Even though they were moderately busy as we arrived the service was prompt and supper courteous by Gaby she was always making sure that we were doing great. The meat is served on a chaffing dish that keeps it warm but also very moist the red salsa is very good for tacos and you get plenty of toppings. The place is clean but a little hot inside on semi hot day. We loved this joint and we will continue to come back again and again. As a side note they do now accept credit cards.

    Recently moved to Frisco, TX from Los Angeles,CA. Been here for almost two months now and I've on the search for some good street tacos, like the ones they have all over Los Angeles. No luck yet. Today I woke up with a craving for consome and tacos de barbacoa. Went on line and found this place with a pretty decent score, but 45 min away. I thought..why not?! Let's give it a shot! Well, it was worth every minute of it!! This is by far, the best Mexican meal I've had in the Dallas area! Consome was very tasty, the tortillas hechas a mano and the barbacoa was excellent! NOTE: Menu prices listed on Yelp are not updated Their prices are higher than those on advertised menu. Small consome is $9, Large consome $15. Menudo is $18 for large Menudo (I think it's way too high for menudo), In Los Angeles, a bowl of consome is between $1.50 -$3.00 at the most. The service was great, the food was excellent, and the owner honored the advertised price for my meal. Bring cash! No debit or credit. I highly recommend it!!!

    Menudo, just like at home! Fresh and hot! They use real Chile and not chili powder. They give you plenty fresh made tortillas! It's the spot

    Celebrating our 1-year anniversary at The Mexican was nothing short of extraordinary…read more From the moment we walked in, the energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for excellence were evident in every aspect of the experience. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service came together to create an unforgettable evening. A special shout-out to Ashley, whose hospitality and mastery behind the bar elevated our celebration even more. Her knowledge of her craft, warm personality, and thoughtful recommendations made us feel truly welcomed and valued. It's rare for me to give an establishment a perfect score, but this one has earned it without hesitation. 10/10--an exceptional dining experience and the perfect place to celebrate life's special moments. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We can't wait to return!

It was my first visit, and it was absolutely worth the wait. I've seen all the Instagram posts, and I finally got my chance to experience it for myself. Since it was Taco Tuesday, I had to order the tacos and the ceviche. I snagged a cozy corner seat so I could take in the entire atmosphere, and everything was spot on. The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the bartender was even kind enough to take my picture. From the service to the vibe, this place exceeded my expectations. It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

No…read morereservation...just a walk party of 6 and they had a table for us...as long as we could be out by a certain time...about an hour and a half after we walked in. We were there to eat so if they were going to wine and dine us in that amount of time, we were there for it!! Everything was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks and we are so glad we found this location and made it happen! I was looking forward to dinner here the entire day and it was worth it!! We had the queso blanco...it's got a kick...worth it! My wagyu fajitas were perfectly cooked medium rare and soooo flavorful!! I was my dessert in my pjs back at the hotel...the sopapilla cheesecake and ice cream held up perfectly and was everything I wanted it to be!! It's a dark atmosphere in the bar area, but the vibes were so cool. It wasn't too loud to where people were having to scream to converse...but it was not intimate where you could talk across the table softly with the other person hearing. We are still talking about Las Palmas days later and can't wait until we are back in Dallas to bring more of our group here to enjoy delicious food and great service!!

    I came here for my birthday dinner with a couple of friends and overall had a really great…read moreexperience. A few important notes though: this place is SUPER loud, especially upstairs, so if you are trying to take your older parents somewhere for a nice dinner where you can actually catch up and have a conversation, this might not be the spot. Also, avoid the upstairs dining room if anyone has mobility issues. The stairs are a little sketchy in that dark space because you basically have to TRUST there is another stair step in front of you even though you can't see it. And a heads up, do not wander into the wrong bathroom upstairs like my husband did because the "men's" and "ladies" signs upstairs are also nearly impossible to read in the dark! But honestly, those are really my only complaints... The service and food were both very good. We had a couple of ordering fumbles. We got the regular queso, and then immediately watched another table get the tableside flaming queso and we were seriously bummed. Like, really bummed. That is definitely what I will be ordering next time. The chips and smoky salsa were excellent!! - and I always appreciate when everyone gets their own little portion of salsa so everyone can double dip without feeling like a heathen. I ordered the wagyu fajitas (the half portion), and it was still easily enough food for two people. I will say the meat was more like a filet mignon texture and less like the flavorful fajita meat I was expecting. My friend's pork fajitas were actually much better and had more flavor. When the manager stopped by to check on us, I had to announce my own birthday because apparently my friends were not going to help me out with that (some friends, huh?). They brought out a complimentary sopapilla cheesecake with a candle, which was a very nice touch. All in all, I loved the place and totally understand the hype. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. There is valet parking, but we found easy parking across the street. I cannot wait to come back and try that flaming queso!

    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've been here twice. Everything we ordered was very good both times…read more During our first visit, I had the Caesar salad, which I declared at that time "the greatest Caesar salad I've ever tried." It was glorious and bountiful--there was ample dressing, cheese, and other ingredients I'm forgetting that made it unique. Unfortunately, during our second visit, the Caesar salad was significantly different. I think they used the same dressing, but there was very little of it. There was nearly no cheese and the other ingredients were similarly sparse. It was still good, but it in no way was the greatest I'd ever tried. I hope that this was a 1-off experience, as it truly was the best. I will report back next time. Service was great both times- they were very careful about my Cilantro request (none) and even though they gladly prepared dishes without it, they also made a list of things that already had none by default. Salmon ceviche, Pork al pastor, Carne asada, and the machete were also very good. The machete is a specialty- it had the house made masa and fillings can vary.
