    Enchiladas Verdes y Tacos de Asada
    Maira H.

    This place is so good. I ordered the green enchiladas and tried the asada tacos as well and it was pretty good. I haven't found good tacos in the area that I really love and these came in top. The staff were super friendly and the wait on food was pretty quick. Only downside is that it's a small place so if it's busy you might struggle to find a table. Either way it was pretty great.

    Excellent food and great service. We came around 10am and they were serving breakfast and lunch. My husband had breakfast and I had lunch. The food was hot and delicious. Definitely recommend for some authentic Mexican food.

    Sopes plate de carne asada. Meat was a little dry on the crispy dry but overall good flavor. Handmade sopes

    Super delicious and authentic. The chips could be better but the salsa with them was very good. Good service and portions. Price in point. Melón water was not that great tasted watered down. Planning on goin back for the chile relleno for sure!

    Tried four tacos today: 1. Lengua - tasty, best taco of the four 2. Barbacoa - ok 3. Carnitas - ok, a bit bland 4. Al Pastor - skip, too mealy and not very good None of the tortillas (corn or flour) are made onsite. Second visit, and revised rating.

    New to Dallas, barber recommended I try this place out for authentic Mexican food. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! All of the servers were beyond kind. The menu is self explanatory, not overwhelming like some places. Couldn't choose so i ordered tacos and pozole. FLAVORFUL and the meat just melted in your mouth, the Corn tortillas are incomparable!!!! I've never wanted to eat corn tortillas more in my life. I will be bringing every visitor here to enjoy this Mexican food paradise.

    I've had a lot of Mexican places all over Texas and this must be the most authentic Mexican restaurant I've ever been in, it was completely FANTASTIC!!! I had the Enchiladas Verdes $8.99 my wife had the taco plate $6.99 and they were both outstanding. I highly recommend trying this place out

    AN OAK CLIFF GEM - eat here NOW!! This place had been on my radar for a while, but I normally do not find myself in Oak Cliff, and so it was always a place I wanted to go to - until today :) This is a steadily busy but not crushed place on the weekends, full of locals and families slurping big bowls of menudo and Mexican breakfasts. Your meal starts with a basket of fresh corn tortilla chips served with an amazing cooked salsa ranchera that is absolutely delicious! I had to restrain myself with the chips so I didn't fill up before my menudo arrived! So let's talk about that menudo - OMG it was awesome!! Tripe was tender and plentiful, cooked slowly in a delicious broth studded with hominy and spices. I added a squeeze of lime, onions, cilantro, and chopped fresh jalapeños to mine to make it just perfect!! There's a reason 8 out of the 10 tables that were occupied when I came here were eating it. I took the hint and thank God I did. I also like to try the lengua and carne al pastor tacos at new places as I have found that those are bellweathers. The lengua taco at El Pueblo are served as huge chunks of perfectly tender lengua in fresh corn tortillas - simple, unadorned, DELICIOUS. And the carne al pastor is similarly served: Large tender chunks of pork cooked in a savoury and sweet spice blend hit the spot and will be my new crave. 5 authentic stars

    Having my first meal in Dallas and had to try the Mexican food. They served chips and salsa right away and the salsa like a ranchero sauce. The salsa was flavorful and just enough heat. I ordered the picadillo gorditas. They tasted a little different than what I'm used to in San Antonio, but I liked them. I can't put my finger on what the different taste is, but it's good. The rice was fine. The beans and the lettuce were served with that Spanish, white crumbly cheese and that added to the meal. The chili relleno tasted a little greasy. The flour tortillas were homemade I'd eat here again.

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

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.
