    Beef fajita covered in spicy queso
    John J.

    Casual and clean Mexico ambiance. Service was great as usual. Chips and three different dips/salsa to start. Love the top shelf margarita. Tried the steak veggie relleno. It was exceptional! Tender skirt steak with a relleno stuffed with veggies and cheese. A must try. The chicken flauta dinner received great compliments as well.

    3 sauces and a warm bean dip!
    Lisa S.

    Came to Dallas and found this little place! Chips are nice and 3 little dips! A warm black bean dip was delicious! My son ordered the ribeye fajita on the menu however they did not have them so he settled on the beef! They were pretty good! The flour tortillas were "store bought" the onions cooked down really nice! The chicken in the enchiladas was a little dry and the sauce was not very warm however they had a pretty good flavor! The servers kept our drinks full! Very cozy decorations! I recommend this place! Happy Eating Everyone!

    Beef fajita chimi.  Good!
    Mike S.

    Very good Mexican food in a nice quiet atmosphere with very friendly service. We started with beef and cheese nachos which were a 10 out of 10. In fact my wife said she will get a full order for dinner next time. She got the beef enchiladas and I got the beef fajita Chimi. Both were good, but lacked a little bit of flavor. The salsa is quite good and that helped. They have a full bar and great margaritas.

    Quesadilla

    Woof, I am zero for four in getting good Mexican food in Texas. Seriously, what the heck? MB and I went to this restaurant hoping for their famous margaritas and good Tex-Mex. She liked her quesadilla, but I liked none of my food, nor the margaritas. MB ordered spicy marg but it was not and I found them to be weak and sour. The guacamole "prepared table side" was not, it just arrived from the kitchen and was just okay. The chips were unsalted and too thick. The salsa and beans were also just okay. The tortilla soup and the bean soup both had a watery broth MB likened to dishwater. No me gusta. I think I'll quit seeking authentic Mexican food in Texas and just keep getting the good stuff here in Minnesota.

    Margarita

    ....... READ THIS REVIEW ...... Very reasonable prices!!! That makes up for a few shortcomings - and the staff is awesome... even by my standards. While my review is always direct, I like this place. Great energy. But undecided as to coming back. Hummm. Chips = 6/10 On the thicker side as restaurant chips go, but I did ok with them. (I would not buy them in a store.) Salsa = 8/10 Well made, tasty and a gentle warming on the back end. Nice flavor but did not "wow me". Black Bean Dip = 3/10 Shocker... it's puréed as expected but was cold?!? I asked if was supposed to be cold. Evidently it was an error - and they immediately brought me a hot replacement - double portion!! AWESOME! That's the absolutely perfect way to fix a mistake - and a new 1st for me. (They earned many respect points from me on that move!) Well hummm, it's extremely bland. Nothing but bean flavor. Needs salt and some seasoning to make it wake up. But it's free so I can't complain... just sad. I had higher hopes when I saw it... and I've had much better. Frozen Strawberry Margarita = 6/10 - First impressions.. a bit on the small side. The flavor is enjoyable, but it's not handmade syrup. Very silky, creamy and light texture. I prefer a more dense texture (more icy). It's fresh and not melted... but the texture is as if you were drinking the last 1/4 of your margarita. Undecided on this point. Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada = - Moist chicken which is the #1 thing I grade on. Yes, it's moist! However, not a strong seasoning profile, more in the hard to find flavors side. I like the sour cream sauce. Not over powering and has the correct texture. 7/10 Beef Enchilada with Chili Con Carne Sauce = 3/10 - Ok, but a again definitely on the bland side. The sauce is just that - only a sauce... no meat included. Not all memorable. Table Side Handmade Guacamole 8.5/10 - Be sure to tell them you want it made "at the table", otherwise they make it in back. Very good. Extremely creamy with small chunks of avocado (I don't like big chunks - too much). I skipped the jalapeños, and it's definitely a repeat item for me. Beautiful flavor and enjoyable. Service = 10/10 Excellent in every way. 2-3 other waiters always check on me as they pass by. Obviously, the customer comes first here!!! Very attentive and fast service at 7:30pm. Environment = 7/10 Welcoming as you enter and hosted is quick to acknowledge you. Very nice original art on the wall - not stereotypical, enjoyable to look at. (Good move!) Lots of open space allowing you to have privacy but it's still has good energy with all the customer buzz. Over All: 3/5 Although this review is a bit direct (that's my style) I was happy I came by. The people here are so good hearted and you can tell they will move mountains to ensure you are happy!! That was a highlight for me. As for the food, maybe I ordered the wrong stuff... but everything was about 30% seasoned to what I expect Tex-Mex to be. Unfortunately, bland in general. Hard to get much flavor, too gentle and mild. But please note - I do not like "heat or overpowering seasoning to the point you can't identify what you are eating!" I do require more than a minimal seasoning approach. That's because I'm an old and native Texan from Big D.

    This place is a hidden gem. I was highly impressed with the food and ambiance. I'm looking forward to going back and letting all of my friends who are looking for authentic and homemade excellence to go here. Phenomenal food. Tastes like it was made with love and clean

    Chimichanga with Brisket
    Russell W.

    The food was very delicious! Very fresh ingredients, generous portions and amazing brisket. The chimichanga and quesadilla were both awesome. Really liked the beans and salsa served with chips before the meal. The ambiance was nice, the service was very fast and friendly.

    Table side guac
    Andrea R.

    When in Dallas you have to go for tex-mex. My husband's go to is Mi Cocina, which is a solid option, but I suggested we try something new this trip. And thanks to Yelp we found ourselves at Gabriela & Sofia's Tex-Mex. We ordered some guacamole, which they make tableside and it was sooo good. And then we ate our weight in chips and guac. I could have been done eating for the night after that, but my husband and I split some fajitas. They were nice enough to do half shrimp (for me) and half chicken (for my husband). I also ordered a skinny margaritas, which I should have ordered sans salt because it was way too salty for my liking and I couldn't have more than a few sips. Overall, some great tex-mex. I know there's so many good options in the area, but this is one worth trying!

    Cheese Enchiladas
    Victoria E.

    Enjoyed the cheese enchiladas and ice tea. Nice chili sauce and crispy chips. Service was good, booths are small and not comfy for a party of 4.

The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the bartender was even kind enough to take my picture. From the service to the vibe, this place exceeded my expectations. 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!!

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!

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.
