    With hot Caldo De Res, you shouldn't see fat like that. That's just water and beef fat.

    This place isn't good at all. Aside from the very poor attention to customers. Beans and rice are from a can. Very bland. Their idea of green chicken enchiladas is some kind of weird chili sauce on top and just chicken with a bunch of onions and bell peppers inside. Not correct, or good. Almost was like eating a hot dog. I also ordered the caldo de res. Literally just water and beef fat and vegetables and mostly fat, not beef. If anyone knows good caldo, the fat should not separate from the broth unless it's cold. This 'stuff' was very hot and you could still see the enormous amount of fat that was separated from the water. One bite and my lips and mouth were covered in a film of fat. I didn't finish anyone of. Just left. They need to revise their recipes ASAP. I only went there because it was close to auto shop and I was waiting. I'll never go back.

I went to The Mexican during Dallas Restaurant Week and had such a great experience. Hospitality: From the moment I arrived, everything was on point. No wait to valet, the hostesses were warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. My server, Daniel, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable walked me through the menu and gave great recommendations. Food: Everything I had was delicious. I started with the chips and assortment of salsas and dips, which were really were incredible! For Restaurant Week, I had the tortilla soup, the shrimp/bacon tacos, and the leches cake for dessert. The tortilla soup was especially impressive, both in presentation and flavor, and the shrimp tacos were excellent. Honestly, there was not a bad bite all night. Ambiance: The restaurant is beautiful--chic, polished, and much larger than I expected. The different dining areas each seem to offer a slightly different experience, which adds to the overall feel of the restaurant. Overall, I left feeling like I had a genuinely great night out. Great food, great service, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be back.

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!

    I see that it has been more than 10 years since my last review so it is time for an update…read more We went here for a late lunch after attending an event at the American Airlines Center. There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.

Shortly later our drinks were brought to us and the servers returned for our appetizer order, which we declined and went straight to the meals. I ordered the Barbacoa Taco plate. It came with 3 tacos filled to the max as well as rice and black beans. My son ordered the Mole Enchilada plate. My tacos were moist and easy to eat, I added a little of the chip salsa to each which added to the flavor. I thought the rice and beans were well done as well. I did try some of my sons Mole Enchiladas. They had a chocolate flavor. He enjoyed them. The music, the decor and the layout are done nicely. You are able to freely talk at your table and not over hear people at the tables beside you. So kudos to that. I did enjoy my time spent here last night for dinner.

My compadre and I keyed in on the same dish - hatch chili enchiladas. All of their food is made.from scratch in small batches, so the wait is longer than some places. However, the quality is superior. We both loved our lunches. We also ordered yucca fries and a queso Blanco, which were quite good. The interior was very nice and modern. It was not too loud. All seats are high chairs, which my wife would've hated if she'd been on the trip. For us, it was comfortable. The reason this was not 5 stars is that the taste was not what we expected and the prices were high. If you order hatch chili anything, you expect a little spice from the chilis.. I didn't taste the hatch chili in my entree. Question Blanco was a little bland despite it being much higher quality than what I get locally. It was $25+tip for 2 enchiladas, 1 queso, and a soft drink. I recommend giving them a shot. It is a very nice place with nice people.
