    Chips and Salsa
    Gabriella V.

    I grew up eating here and to this day it's one of my favorite places. The only thing I'm mildly upset about is that they charge for chips and salsa now. But outside of that, incredibly nostalgic and everyone here works super hard. Could not recommend enough, especially for the price point.

    Carne Asada Torta

    I had the carne asada torta and it was delicious! So much meat and the bread was perfection. I've been trying to find a good torta in Dallas for 6 years and now this will be my SPOT!!

    Service is great but the cooks can be inconsistent. I'm a regular here and I ordered a torta with extra meat they confirm that the extra meat is half of the fillet but this is what they gave me . $3 xxtra for this little piece of meat I've ordered with extra meat in the past and it's come with two whole slices of meat . Ps the fries are were made at home .

    The service is very fast/ it is self seating. The chorizo was good and it comes with your side of tortilla. The chips and salsa were also very good.

    $11.99 - AWSOME!!!

    i ordered the guiso with rice and beans and a add on beef crispy taco...this is the place to get good food at great prices, never knew this place was here, past by for decades and never noticed it....

    Beef fajitas
    Heather R.

    I found my new favorite *Authentic* Mexican restaurant!! It is by far some of the best true Mexican food I've had and for and INSANELY cheap price! Atmosphere: Very "mom and pop" feel with servers that only speak Spanish; it makes you feel right at home and fully immersed in the experience! I went with my friends around 1:00am. It was interesting to see the transition as the time passed. In the beginning it was filled with families and birthday celebrations. Once 2:15 hit, the crowd shifted to young and Halloween filled guests. Food: The chips and salsa started my dinner off right! The salsa was perfectly spicy and the chips were very fresh. I ordered the beef fajitas. They came out sizzling and were delicious! I couldn't believe how much food came in a personal size platter, especially for about $9! I was beyond full and had food to go. 10/10 you won't be disappointed

    Food is Tex Mex style. Prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. They did recently do away with free chips. Now you have to request ut at a cost. It's probably better than wasting so many baskets. We come here often. We have never been disappointed..yum yum

    Finally made it over to The Mexican and boy, a time was had!…read more Service here is top notch. From the moment I stepped in the door I was treated like a celebrity! Complimentary champagne, and AMAZING service from our waitress. I've literally never had a server with such extensive knowledge of a restaurant's menu. Very impressive! We also had a amazing experience with the manager. We needed some accommodations for our table and he was so thoughtful. He even provided us with a complimentary cuatro leches cake slice! (which was HUGE btw). While the service was exponentially excellent, the food was...good. The menu was what I would describe as "elevated Mexican" with some other Latin-inspired steakhouse dishes (think filet mignon with some salsa on the side) Everything was good, but nothing really stood out for me. One more thing, lots of good people watching lol! Dallas ladies love a to dress up and I saw so many fabulous looks on my recent visit. Great place for a date night or dinner with your girls. Highly recommend! Beautiful space with fantastic service!

    This was definitely an experience. The menu is incredible. The cuts of beef, inventive menu…read more This is definitely a hip Dallas vibe. Hard to get reservations on weekends. Cost as you would expect. You can view the menu online. Selection of cocktails and a large bar. I wasn't a fan of the desserts, but they look epic.

    Here is another place I would have sworn that I had reviewed before, yet I got a reminder from Yelp…read moreto review them, so I double-checked and low and behold there was no review there from Kurt V,, so here it is... I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

    El Carlos Elegante was in fact elegante!…read more It was everything I wanted in a Michelin recommendation restaurant. I really wanted to try something different and fun, so we ended up getting the elegante experience for $99 per person. I was not disappointed at all with this experience and it offered a ton of great food options. I was so full at the end of this experience, however, every single food item I tried was great and kept me wanting more. To highlight a couple of the items given on that "secret" experience was the tamales, the wagyu steak and the green sauce that came with it, and the sponge cake at the end was a great finisher. I really did enjoy the entire experience of the restaurant and the food. The entire staff was on top of their game and made sure that we had a great time. For me this restaurant was a 9 out a 10. There's no doubt in my mind that I will be back and probably take people here too.

So thinking we showed up for our reservation, this location says they don't take reservations. They stop at is anyway, which was nice. We were seated on the porch, and here's where things got weird. We ordered our drinks and when the drinks were delivered, we said we were ready to order, and the waitress, hesitated and then said she would be back. Kinda strange, but eventually we had our order taken. I ordered a mango agua fresca which was pretty good. The complementary chips and salsas were also really good. For an entree I had the Tempura Fried Fish Tacos. These were very good and the coleslaw served with them was very good- crunch and bright. Overall the food here is pretty solid. The service was a bit off, but not a deal breaker, just be prepared to wait a while to have your order taken.

I would like to mention that they nickel and dime you pretty hard.

Not the end of the world, but good to note!
