    Mole enchiladas
    Andrea B.

    So, so good. Very rare to find an environment and food that are equally enjoyable. From the staff, to the ambience to the food - it made a business lunch a great setting for some great memories. The mole is prefect and the rice has great flavor which can be uncommon around here. The guacamole and chips are what they should be - homemade and fresh. Come here. Come alone or with fiends. Schedule a work meeting. Just come here. I can't wait come back and try all the menu items I'd like to try next like the chicken soup and Flautas. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

    Steak quesadillas
    Goodness I.

    I'm very impressed with this place! We had no issues with the service, the food, the atmosphere, nothing! We came early enough to enjoy some happy hour specials (half off guac and queso, $2 off the house margs and wine) and got to sit outside and enjoy the spacious seating arrangements. Will definitely be back!

    The most impressive thing about Doce Mesas is the ambiance. From the moment you pull up the place is impressive and as you walk in there is a crescendo of ambiance that culminated into an ultra-hip vibe. I sat inside, but quickly wished I had sat on the patio. You see, as elegant as the place is, it is also loud. Like really loud. Add to that we got seated in the "families with little kids" section and it was enough to put a cloud over the whole experience. I am not sure why a host would think we wanted to be in that section, but there we sat. The food was really good. We ordered Guacamole as an appetizer and Chicken Fajitas and Chicken Flautas as our main course. The Fajitas were topped with garlic butter, which while good, seemed to take some authenticity away from them. I got over that pretty quickly. Our server, Eric did a fine job. He was helpful and around just enough to keep us attended to without overwhelming us. Overall it was a good experience and I would return, I would just be a little more selective about where I get seated!

    The queso is exceptionally good.

    Some of the best Mexican food we have had in a while. We sat on the back patio which has plenty of fans to keep everyone cool. Our waiter was very friendly and the service overall was outstanding. We started with queso which was absolutely delicious - thick with chunks of peppers. Their chips and salsa are also quite good. I would not call it fajitas, but the beef tenderloin dish is one of the best Mexican renditions I have ever had. The enchiladas are quite good but probably more like an 8.5 out of 10. They also make a great margarita. We will definitely be back.

    A nearby restaurant that I intended to dine at was closed today so I quickly remembered Doce Mesas from a couple of favorable reviews by Yelpers about town, Stephen W. He was right. This is a great find in a convenient location but that's just to start. It checks all the boxes for my enjoyment. Pleasant atmosphere,good service, tolerable prices and of course good food. The food is more than acceptable,it's quite good. After examining the menu several times I took a chance on the Mole Chicken Enchiladas. Home run! The gamble paid off and this mole proved to strike that perfect balance between slight sweet edge and bitter undertones that results in the perfect bite. We also sampled the fish tacos,trying one fried and one grilled. Very good. The drinks are stout and authentically made. I would recommend this to anyone as I myself feel I've added another restaurant to my list of viable options.

    We've been here many times and have always had amazing service but last night just really made me not ever want to go there again. We have always loved the service, food and drinks but last night we ordered a Barbie margarita, like we always do and it tasted terrible so we sent it back. It's basically a skinny margarita. When we mentioned that it didn't taste like it normally did, our waitress argued, "Well it's a skinny margarita so it's going to taste different" We mentioned that we were aware and that we've had it before and she acted somewhat disgruntled to have to replace it. We saw her and the bartender and another waiter convening at the bar behind us and the other waiter looked at us and shook his head and laughed at us. I also prefer my nachos cooked longer and sent them back and after that the service we received was pretty condescending until it was time to get our check. It was blatantly obvious that we were being made fun of. Just sad this as we always spend decent money there and tip 30% because we value the service industry but we won't be returning after feeling ganged up on.

    Absolutely loved everything here! The employees were so nice! The ambiance was clean, fun and exciting! The salsa and chips were so good so I ordered the guacamole which had amazing taste! When I say the carne asada tacos had the best flavor I've ever had is an understatement! Will definitely be back!!

    They barely put any thing in there it's just soup and the garnish that I put on and it's more than $13 not worth it at all so disappointing.

    Not worth spending your money there. I order a Pozole verde and what I got was pretty much just the soup, they add one piece of chicken and the portion it's so small as you can see in the picture.

    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 will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

    LOVE this place. God bless the people who came up with Las Palmas…read more First of all, please never change the queso- it is heaven sent and we always take it to-go (I'm NEVER leaving the rest behind) and it tastes even better the next day. This queso is probably the best I've ever had. BTW it is a LIL spicy but I can let that slide. Another great appetizer option would be the Nachos Al Carbon with wagyu. Super good too & honestly you can even order it for just one person as a main dish-- the serving size is big enough. BUT THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW AT LAS PALMAS ARE THE WAGYU FAJITAS!!! Incredible. Comes with flour or corn tortillas, beans, rice, and obviously the works: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce. You know the vibes. Speaking of vibes, they're always there at Las Palmas. It is always busy but I genuinely don't care and never mind waiting an hour and a half for our table. It's worth it. This place is a confirmed staple in Dallas. Probably come here once a month if not more often. Thank you for great food and good service too- that's hard to come by nowadays. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! This is your sign!

Now, I will note that the parking proved to be a touch challenging, and the grounds were a bit damp from the rain though, I suppose that is simply to be expected. It certainly did not dampen my spirits, because the moment I stepped inside, I was utterly captivated. The decor is absolutely magnificent, adorned with a curated collection of cowboy hats and photographs that beautifully capture the true, authentic spirit of Dallas. It has such character! I initially settled in at the intimate little bar, where the bartender greeted me with wonderful hospitality. To begin, I ordered a Spicy Mezcal Margarita an exceptionally flavorful choice that was executed flawlessly. After a lovely, brief chat with the bartender, the sun began to break through the clouds, warming up the day beautifully. Naturally, I decided to move out to the patio to fully immerse myself in the vibrant afternoon energy. The overall atmosphere, service, and decor are nothing short of extraordinary. For lunch, I treated myself to the Ribs, and they were divine truly delicious and prepared to perfection. Between the exceptional cuisine and the thoroughly satisfying ambiance, this establishment is an absolute triumph. I shall most certainly be returning

    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.
