    Abandoned table due to poor service from Chris
    Monica D.

    We arrived for a Mother's Day reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter, Chris, took our drink orders and explained how the viral soft serve margaritas were prepared, although he could not tell me what type of tequila was used in the mix. Fresh chips and salsa came out quickly and that was unfortunately the highlight of the experience. Things went downhill fast after that. One member of our party ordered a Coke and did not realize it was a canned drink instead of fountain soda. He politely declined it without even touching the can. Chris seemed irritated by that interaction and disappeared for at least 15 minutes while continuing to help nearby tables. When we finally asked if he could take our order, he appeared visibly annoyed and responded with "do you want another server." We said yes and he sarcastically replied, "great, I really appreciate that," before walking away. No other server ever came to the table. At that point, our party no longer felt comfortable staying. We went to the hostess stand, offered payment for our drinks, and left. The manager did apologize for the terrible service, but the damage was already done. We took our party of 8 somewhere else and ended up having a much better Mother's Day experience. Sadly, we were left feeling very unwelcome here, and it certainly came across as intentional.

    Soft serve margaritas. Love that this is a thing.

    This place exceeded my expectations! Came for a birthday party with a group of 17. It was busy but they stayed on top of it. Waitress was patient and did her thang as needed. Food was good! Not like slap yo mamma good but still pretty good. Loved the warm chips. The drinks are what kept this rating high, they were heavy handed on the booze which I appreciate. Check them out!

    I stopped by and ordered the shrimp fajitas and a soft serve margarita, and both were so good. The shrimp fajitas came out hot, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The food, ambiance, and service was great! The soft serve margarita was unlike any margarita I've had before. The creamy margarita paired with the boba and the added passion fruit syrup created the perfect burst of flavors.

    I LOVE Tex Mex, and when I heard they had the soft serve margarita I had to go! My friends and I decided to have a girls dinner before heading out into town and I loved the food. But we especially loved the margarita! It was so refreshing on a hot day. The service was great, and I loved the inside decor. I will definitely be back!!

    I came to Joe Leo's twice this month. I love the vibes of this place, it's beautifully decorated and giving Mexican home vibes. Their chips and salsa tastes fresh and delicious. I ordered a frozen Margarita to start and it was delicious. For my meal I had the Jumbo Shrimp Brochette and that was absolutely amazing , the shrimp was flavorful and I loved the taste of their Mexican rice. The service was great as well, waitress and staff were friendly. The manager let us try their Soft Serve Margarita that they were launching, which was the reason we decided to come back the second time. The second time around we ordered the Classic Queso to share and got the soft serve margarita. Their queso is quite flavorful and this soft serve marg is so freaking amazing, tastes sweet and creamy, and topped with yummy Kiwi Boba. If you are looking for great Tex Mex food I recommend this spot 100%

    Was lead here by the viral soft serve margaritas! And they were just okay! Food was a bit bland and not much to rave about! I mean it's another tex mex spot in DFW! Nothing special so please don't set your expectations high like I did!! The staff is super friendly and welcoming I loved that! Everyone seemed to be enjoying helping and serving! Menu is basic they don't offer much and food was bland!

    Didn't get food but the frozen margaritas were good and the chips and salsa were solid. The soft serve margarita was amazing but tastes more like a margarita flavored ice cream than others that I've had. Food prices are kind of high but servings looked big. The host was not super helpful but our waitress was great. Good happy hour spot.

    Came to Joe's for a girls night get together and we had a great time! Our waitress was friendly and helpful with menu questions. We shared the joes queso which was flavorful but not hot (temp) enough, we asked if they could warm it up more and they brought a fresh bowl but it still seemed tepid. I ordered the no 1 dinner which had a soft chicken Tinga taco, Crunchy beef taco and a cheese enchilada with beans and rice. It was really tasty and a good way to try some of the different menu items. I would definitely go back again, good food and a beautiful ambience.

    "Joe Leo: Happy Hour Memories... Crushed " Pulled up for Happy Hour, dreaming of my $5 beef nachos... and the place was ghost town quiet. Happy Hour food? GONE. BAD MOVE. The waitress was sweet, but no excuse for $39.49 for: * Six petite nacho chips -- $14.49 * Ground beef + cheese -- $14.49 * Two cans of soda -- $7.50 The ground beef, no beans nacho bites were enjoyable, but they definitely should have stayed $5 or at least been discounted. Taste buds: Wallet: Definitely not worth it for a kid's meal at that price. What was once my go-to spot? Now... a distant memory. That 43-min drive in traffic? Not worth it. #JoeLeo #OverpricedEats #HappyHourGone #NostalgiaLost #FlavorChaserSocialite

    Tonight was our first time at Joe Leo. We were seated in Ricardo E's section (found his name on the receipt) and from the moment he walked up he was so rude. He never mentioned his name, had any small talk, he just rushed us to order. He was visibly annoyed and kept rushing off and gave an attitude to simple questions. I literally asked him if he had ice cream and he gave me attitude. A very nice woman walked over to the table and i let her know about our experience and she immediately tried to make it better for us. She offered discounts and even brought out pancakes. It was so sweet. While our food came out hot, drinks were great, and her coming to the table to try to change our negative experience into a positive, it was still a very uncomfortable setting because Ricardo was rude from start to finish. I know bad days happen, but no one deserves to be treated that way. To the sweet woman who tried to make our experience better, thank you. I appreciate you for all of your efforts and the pancakes were amazing. Thank you for listening.

    Had to come back for the full size soft serve margarita! It was so delicious and not strong at all. It went so well with the little boba topped on it! The chips and queso and salsa were the perfect little snack to go on the side as well. I will say this, since we didn't order an actual meal with it I felt like the service was kind of neglectful compared to all the other tables who did order meals. Just because we only ordered a margarita and some queso doesn't make us any less of a customer than anyone else. UGH!!! But the margarita was definitely a 10/10

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!

I remember when they were located further down Lemmon Avenue in a much smaller space. They've since moved uptown, and the new digs are beautiful and very inviting. After we were seated, our server, Ruben, greeted us with a warm smile. We were especially excited since we arrived just in time to catch their lunch specials--and there are plenty of great ones to choose from. We started with a couple of frozen margaritas and a cup of queso while browsing the menu. The margaritas were spot-on--not wimpy at all, with just the right kick. And the queso? Absolutely outstanding--some of the best we've had in a long time. The salsa was excellent as well. My wife chose the lunch-sized chicken quesadillas, while I went with the #7 lunch special, which included a cheese taco, a chicken enchilada, and a beef enchilada topped with chili con carne. Our meals arrived after a short wait, and everything exceeded expectations. My wife was thrilled with the portion size--it was just right--and she was all smiles after her first bite. The chicken fajita meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. My lunch special hit the spot and delivered exactly what I was craving. We had a fantastic experience at Mia's Tex-Mex. Ruben took excellent care of us throughout our visit, and we'll definitely be back again soon!
