Two different brunches over a couple weeks and both times really good. The hurache with barbocoa was sooo good. I ate every bite. It was light but filling at the same time. Ok the stuffed poblano, I really enjoyed the eggs and gravy. Think the actual poblano could have been cooked slightly more though.

Amazing red salsa but hate that you have to pay for it :/ queso wasn't my fave. Drinks were good. Service was great. I thought the tacos were a little dry. Loved the salsas. Great prices

I went to Cuates Kitchen for brunch, and overall it was a great experience! The space itself is super cute! I really liked the color scheme and decor. It manages to feel both chic and homey at the same time, which makes it a nice spot for a casual brunch or a little weekend catch-up with friends. The drinks were a highlight. The spiked horchata and espresso martinis were both really good (honestly, better than I expected for a brunch cocktail lineup). For food, I tried a few things: Corn pancakes -- really interesting and different in a good way. Slightly sweet, a little savory, and full of flavor. Brisket hash -- delicious, though the description on the menu was a bit confusing. It said "hashbrown patty," but what I got was diced potatoes topped with a brisket patty. Not a dealbreaker, but the wording could definitely be clearer. Steak and eggs -- perfectly cooked and seasoned; definitely recommend. The service was solid, friendly, attentive without hovering, and the food came out at a good pace. I'll definitely be back to try their dinner menu, because the brunch alone left a good impression. Bottom line: great food, great vibe, solid cocktails. Just a small tweak needed on menu descriptions, but otherwise, Cuates Kitchen is worth the visit.

Cuates Kitchen absolutely delivered! The chips and queso were some of the best I have ever had and that says a lot because I have tried many around Dallas. For my entrée I had the barbacoa costra tacos with beans and rice. Everything was a 10 out of 10, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also tried their blood orange margarita which was refreshing and well balanced, not overly sweet, just right. My buddy ordered the migas breakfast tacos and he was raving about them as well. Prices are a little on the higher side but honestly that is expected for this area and the quality makes it worth it. Service was great, the vibe was inviting and I would certainly come back again. Highly recommend if you are looking for top notch Tex Mex in Dallas.

Hi Everyone! Today's review is for Cuates Kitchen. I will say straight up that I do not know the area and came here only because of the excellent reviews.... Walking in, it was crowded, especially for midafternoon on a Saturday. Definitely a good sign. The tables were a little too close together for my taste. Fortunately we only had people next to us on one side, so we did not feel too squeezed in. We ordered a margarita and a Lone Star beer to start. Expecting chips and salsa. The waitress came back to tell me they were out of Lone Stars. So I took a Corona instead. The Margarita was VERY tiny! If you took out the ice, I bet it wasn't two or three ounces. Kind of sad really! The corona could have been colder as well. It turns out you have to pay for chips and salsa here....?! We ordered them anyhow. When they came it was a small amount of chips and hot salsa. I won't lie, the hot salsa was a bit off putting. I wish they had a cold option as the salsa had nice flavor. If you have gotten this far, you are probably thinking, this is going to be a one or two star review. Well, at this stage, I thought so too! Then our entrees came. Gerri ordered a Carnitas bowl. I ordered the Brisket tacos. The carnitas bowl was very very good and quite nicely presented. But, the star of the meal was my Brisket tacos. They were spectacular!!! Truly the best I have ever had. They came three to a place. Beautifully presented and ever so tasty! It shocks me to say a main entree can take a one or two star review and take it all the way to a solid four! Cuates.... Skip the alcohol, chips and salsa and order the Brisket tacos! You will love it!! Jim

Cuates Kitchen is incredible! The chicken tinga and chicken mole tacos were absolutely the best I've had--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Our server, Natalia, provided top-notch service. She was friendly and super attentive, making our visit perfect.

This is one of my favorite places in Dallas. The ambiance and service can't be beat! I really enjoy just hanging here, it feels like home and it's nestled right in the neighborhood. I've had a few different dishes here but the last one I had were the tostadas and they were so good! I highly recommend them, especially when you add their salsa on top. So good!

Can't believe it's taken us so long to try this place. My boyfriend and I had to get his car windows tinted in the area, and since it was lunch time we looked up places to eat nearby. The name Cuates stood out to us, plus the food pictures looked appetizing, so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is built inside a house with outdoor seating at the front porch and indoor sitting plus a bar top. The decor was cozy and we chose to sit outside under one of the many trees. My bench seat happened to be much higher than the chair he sat on so I did tower over him a little, but we quickly forgot about that. They play Latin music at a nice low volume so it's easy to still chat with those around you without needing to yell. Very nice setup. We started with chips and guac and I ordered a dirty horchata. The guac was delicious and fresh, and tasted even better with their in-house made salsa. My drink was also very good. We then ordered flautas as an appetizer, which my boyfriend loved. They were perfectly crunchy, the chicken was moist, and the cream drizzled on top with queso fresco just added to the goodness of it all. For main dishes my boyfriend got 3 tacos and I got the enchiladas de mole. We were both engrossed in our meals because of how good they were. The mole wasn't too overpowering, and the chicken was still tender enough to cut through with mostly just my fork. I forgot to eat the rice if I'm honest. My boyfriend inhaled his tacos before I could even register what they each were lol Even though we were full I saw the plantains listed under desserts and just knew we had to get them. I hadn't had sweet plantains for dessert in years, and this dish reminded me why I liked it so much. Also it wasn't overly sweet. All in all we will be coming back. STAT

This place is an adorable little gem for tacos and Mexican cocktails. We swung by for a late weekday lunch and, surprise surprise, we had the whole place to ourselves (empty, but no complaints - more tacos for us!). There were a couple of fun and friendly local workers getting their cocktail on at the bar (no judgment here, it's 5 o'clock somewhere). We kicked things off with the empanadas, a 2-taco plate, and the elote. The elote came out first - big portion, very tasty - though it could've been a little hotter (room temperature corn isn't quite the vibe). Hubby had the empanadas, and I went for the 2-taco plate (with double beans, no rice - that's the pro move!). There was plenty of food, though Hubby somehow managed to finish it all after I threw in the towel. Seriously, I'm pretty sure his stomach has its own zip code. All in all, great vibes, great food, and even better cocktails. I would love to check out the brunch sometime.

Cat N.

Their salsa verde pollo pozole is the bomb! I got it to go and it came with tortilla chips, shredded cabbage, radish, and oregano seasoning with onions. It was still hot enough when we got home and i enjoyed it. It was flavorful, spicy but not that spicy, the place is kind of hard to find but its in a hidden street behind gas station

My new favorite spot in Dallas! The service was great, food was 10/10 and I LOVE the vibe of this spot! They have great week day deals on food and drinks. Felt like I was in Austin in Dallas (this is a compliment).

We had brunch today at the best new restaurant in Dallas. The food was amazing. Service is exceptional, friendly and helpful. The dining area inside is bright and comfortable. The patio fantastic. I ordered the huevos rancheros, the best I've ever had. The breakfast tacos were also amazing. The tortillas are made in house and super fresh. We ordered the French Toast for dessert- yes dessert. They are so good! Once you try this restaurant, you will go back constantly. Margaritas with fresh squeezed juice are tasty too! read more

This place is a total gem! Tucked right off Oak Lawn and serving some absolutely delicious Veracruz style Mexican food. They have a full service bar (love the micheladas and horchata) and cozy indoor seating. They also have a large covered outdoor patio - weather permitting. This is a family operation and everything coming out of the kitchen has been a total hit. I've tried their tacos, green sauce enchiladas, emmoladas, and am addicted to their weekend brunch items (Panucho and chilaquiles). You know this place is a jam when everyone in the neighborhood is welcomed by name - check it out and thank me later. Also - happy hour! read more

It's just a bit different. It is in an area that is a bit hard to find, but once you arrive the comfort is super pleasant. The food has no issues being a bit more spicy than the traditional places. (Not too much and for me, a perfect amount of spice and flavor.) Mole enchiladas. Tacos tinga, spicy margaritas and stop the bus for an amazing tres leches to end your meal. Here's the best I have had in a while. Give it a roll. I think you will like it. read more

There are multiple locations in DFW, and this review is for the Chilangos in Dallas off of Ross. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The two Chilangos locations I've been to are both located in strip malls with a bright, neon "Chilangos Tacos" sign above the entrance. Inside, there's reggaeton music, tons of patrons, and ESL here. Once you place your order, grab a Jarritos, a bright red metal seat, and watch the staff cook your tacos to order. 1 Star. Service - The staff are very friendly and efficient. It really helps if you speak Spanish, so go with someone who does, or point to the menu item you want. Once you place your order, grab a seat and wait for your name to be called. The staff is super nice and efficient, and our order was available in about 5 min. 1 Star. Food - Birria Quesatacos with consume. Memorize it and order it. Kudos to my son who swears by this dish. I am now a believer. The tender seasoned shredded birria beef is so flavorful. The quesataco style melts the cheese into the corn tortilla. And when you take some diced onion and cilantro to top it, dunk it in the consume before biting into the most flavorful taco served in DFW. According to the menu, this dish is only available on the weekend, but I've used food deliver services to get my consume fix during the week so YMMV. Bottom line, it's not just the best item on the menu, it's the best taco bite in all of DFW. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Chilango Tacos is expanding in DFW. There are now multiple locations in all of DFW so there should be a location near you. Chilangos Tacos is now in my weekly rotation. 1 Star.

They have no sort of way for folks to wait in line EXCEPT their hovering over your table while your eating, it's weird very uncomfortable if you are the unfortunate one who had to sit by the door, it got so bad we left and went to eat in the car. The place is Insanely loud, you can't even hear your thoughts let alone the person you came to eat with. If they have a drive through, I would definitely be back, the food takes FOREVERRRR Hard pass

The Taco Stand

I walked into The Taco Stand with absolutely zero expectations. In fact, my first impression wasn't…read moreparticularly encouraging. The surrounding neighborhood, however, was a pleasant surprise. It's a trendy, energetic pocket of Dallas that I had somehow never explored before, and it immediately caught my attention. The restaurant itself is quite unassuming. If I'm being honest, it didn't exactly scream "come on in." On this particular night, there was only one employee working. It took nearly 10 minutes just to place my order and another 15 minutes before the food arrived. By that point, I was more than a little annoyed. Then the tacos showed up. Talk about a complete plot twist. Not only was everything beautifully presented, but the flavors were absolutely unbelievable. Whenever I visit a taco spot, I like to order a variety so I can get a sense of what they're really capable of. This time it was the al pastor, carne asada, and Baja tacos. One word....incredible. I can't tell you which one was best! I've had great tacos before. I've had places nail one or two selections. But I honestly can't remember the last time three completely different tacos all delivered a perfect punch in a single sitting. Every bite was packed with flavor, expertly balanced, and memorable in its own way. Without question, this was the best taco trio I've ever had. What a roller coaster of a visit. I went from feeling completely ignored and wondering if I'd made a mistake, to wanting to walk back into the kitchen and hug the chef. Sometimes great food doesn't just redeem an experience--it completely rewrites it. The Taco stand is GOATED

YES there will likely be a line, it's for good reason. 1st line for ordering Tacos && 2nd line is usually for Elote. Simple tacos, but done right. They do have their off days where it feels like the tortillas aren't hitting as the usually do, but the are dealing with a lot of turnaround.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The place has a cozy vibe with maybe 15 tables, and late on a Sunday evening it was nicely chill. They even had a guy playing guitar and singing live - it really added to the relaxed atmosphere. The food is killer. I ordered the burrito ranchero and it was absolutely amazing - packed with flavor and perfectly executed. The churros were a bit overdone, but everything else more than made up for it. I can't wait to try more items on the menu before I head out of town. If you're looking for great Mexican food in a welcoming setting, stop by here. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

And it was! Had a spicy kick as you'd expect. It was very busy when I was there so there was a bit of a wait for orders to be taken and for the food to come out however, again, it was pretty packed so I'm not gonna begrudge anyone some delays when things are busy. I sat outside as it was a nice evening albeit slightly chilly and I didn't have a sweatshirt or jacket but that's my own fault. I'd definitely go again but I would also definitely get something other than the Hot Bastard - not because there was anything wrong with the Hot Bastard it's just the are so many good looking burgers on the menu I want to diversify!!!

Absolutely loved our visit to Cuates Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and quick to offer recommendations. We started with a round of their house margaritas. The star of the night, however, was the Enmoladas. The mole sauce was rich and flavorful, with a depth of spice and chocolate that was both authentic and comforting. The tortillas were soft, and the filling was generous and satisfying. If you're looking for a neighborhood gem with delicious food and excellent drinks, Cuates Kitchen is a must-try. read more
