    The Bar!
    Dwaneika C.

    I had no expectations when I came here but they know what they are doing when it comes to tacos! They were quick with the delicious beans, the tacos were flavorful and they left all the fixings for the customer to customize! I will definitely be returning, the tacos are also a good price. The drink was good; not a big distinction in the frozen flavors but they are strong and get the job done.

    Loved it here! My first time is with a huge group, the staff was able to smile and greet us all! Loved the service and tacos! You can order single tacos or a meal, placed at the table is a cool rack of onions, salsas, limes, etc. Mix the tacos or order something else! Great outside patio area or sit at the bar, it's small but perfect with a flatscreen for sports! Cheers and enjoy some real Mexican food' so good!

    Really enjoyed this little gem. Seems authentic. Very busy for 8-9pm. The waitress was very nice. We went through our salsa carousel quickly, so she brought over two more of those carousels. They also have chopped pineapples as a salsa. My friend and I shared the Gringo pastor tacos. Love them! It comes on flour tacos with cheese. You can put the onions/salsa fixing on them at the table. The pastor meat was a little on the drier side, but I think it was because we came a bit later than dinner time. But it still had great flavors. And once I added lime juice and salsa, it was perfectly fine for me! Fried cheese app!! Idk what the official name of it is. But the lady knew what we came here for! It was good if you love cheese!! Like cheese chips that you can dip in salsa. I tried to order the cucumber mojito, they were out. Went with the mangorita. It was good, but had a lot of chamoy. Too much for my taste. The gauvarita tasted good. But I think many ppl at our table preferred the mango. One thing I did notice. The salsas at the table were not spicy. I'm a little let down when I don't have very spicy salsa for my tacos. The atmosphere is hopping! Lots of up beat Spanish music. Very crowded in here. Really enjoyed my dinner even though we had already had Mexican food an hr earlier. I def want to come back and try their pastor tortas!

    I was surprised to see the place so packed on the 4th of July--apparently nothing says…read more"independence" like Tex-Mex, beer, and possibly the World Cup. I came in mainly to watch the game and have a few beers, but the service was so good you'd think I had ordered the entire menu instead of just casually committing crimes against the free chips and salsa. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. Honestly, if they treat a guy this well for drinking beer and demolishing complimentary chips, I can only imagine what happens if you actually order food. Definitely made me want to come back hungry. PS- my server was Anthony

    I really wanted to like Uno Mas, but it was an uphill battle. We dined here for brunch on a Sunday…read moreand they were moderately busy. The restaurant seemed warm and inviting with all the natural light, but as the meal progressed, there were quite a few misses that degraded the overall experience here. First, they didn't really have much in the way of non-alcoholic drinks except for sodas, which I typically don't drink. I wanted a flavored lemonade or an agua fresca. The waiter said they had lemonade and they could add some mango flavoring, but when I go the drink, it was terrible. It was like a Countrytime or something to that effect. I couldn't taste the mango flavoring. The waiter was kind enough to offer to remake the drink when he realized I didn't like it, but it was the same again, so I gave up. It just tasted so artificial and gross. For my entree, I ordered an enchilada plate with scrambled eggs and potatoes. The first time it came out wrong. It was beef enchiladas and not the cheese that was listed on the menu. Then they brought out my plate again and it was now covered in queso. According to the menu, it was a cheese enchilada with chili con carne, but I didn't want to raise the issue. I was really hungry at this point and just accepted it. The food was okay...2 1/2 or 3 star territory. The restaurant itself was pretty cool. I like the location and the abundance of natural light, but the miscommunications with the kitchen and the generic lemonade drink exposed some real opportunities here.

Would return for drinks only and time with the bartender Devonte who was all vibes. We loved all the food we ordered. From the one hitters to the dessert. We've been in Dallas since late 2021 and happy we finally sat down for a meal here. It took me back to Mexico City and sparked energy within us to be exited while eating. Thankyou!

    5/5 Stars Everything…read moreabout my dinner at El Carlos Elegante was exceptional. Rather than ordering à la carte, I chose the Elegante Experience, a four-course chef-curated tasting menu that concludes with dessert for $99 per person. The menu evolves with the seasons, allowing the kitchen to showcase its freshest ingredients and current specialties, so every visit has the potential to be a little different. For the quality of the ingredients, creativity, and execution, I thought it was an outstanding value. Every course was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. Not a single dish felt like an afterthought. The house-made masa program and wood-fired cooking really shine throughout the meal, and it's easy to see why this restaurant has earned such a strong reputation. The service was prompt, attentive, and genuinely courteous without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance, it feels refined while still being warm, familial, and incredibly inviting. If you're ordering a cocktail, I highly recommend the El Dragón. It paired perfectly with the meal and is worth trying. I've uploaded several photos with this review be sure to flip through them to get an idea of just how beautiful the presentation is. El Carlos Elegante is one of those restaurants that reminds you a tasting menu doesn't have to be intimidating or overpriced. It simply delivers outstanding food, excellent hospitality, and an experience that feels well worth the price. I'll definitely be back.

We had actually booked…read morea reservation at another Doce Mesas location, but I did't know there was another location. 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. There's a split plate fee and they voluntarily brought out veggies for my GF friends when they inquired if they could eat the chips, but they ended up charging us $6 for it. Not the end of the world, but good to note!
