    TETELAS  A trio of house-made corn masa pockets
    Fatima H.

    Tried Jose recently and really enjoyed parts of the meal. I highly recommend the ceviche and the Guava Pink mocktail -- both were fresh, flavorful, and refreshing. The tetelas were good but not great for me. They could have used a bit more flavor or juiciness and felt slightly on the dry side for my taste. Big shoutout to our server and the staff -- they were really kind and accommodating. We were a little pressed for time since I had tickets to a play, and they did their best to get our food out quickly so I could eat and make it on time. Really appreciated the great service and care.

    Cheese Enchiladas(kids)

    We were here for Saturday brunch. Made the reservation ahead through Open table and got there by the time, we were seated right away and were given chips and salsa Salsa tasted great. We ordered Short Rib Enchiladas, Chile Relleno, Cheese Quesadilla & chicken fingers for kids Also ordered Street side corn and Queso Con Rojas Queso was cold by the time we got to table, corn was okay. Short Rib Enchilada were great, Chile relleno were in very watery salsa. Cheese Enchilada and Chicken finger were ok! Fries were pretty good, kids loved them. Overall mixed bag of experience with food, great ambiance

    Chips and salsa

    My wife, daughter and I came her for lunch. The decor is very nice, I enjoyed the vibe right away. To start they give chips and green salsa to the table for free which is always a welcome surprise! As far as drinks my wife has the frozen mango margarita, and I had the smoked tequila old fashion led and switched the Tequila out for Mezcal which ended up being a $2 up-charge that the waitress did not mention. We had a second round of drinks, we both had the Horchata Sour. All the drinks were good. We had Mango & Crab salad as an app. Overall it fresh and tasty. We had a side of Plantains which were delicious! We split the Pork Belly Tacos and the Ribeye Bowl. Our daughter got the Chicken Quesadilla. Both the Tacos & Quesadilla come with rice and beans. The Quesadilla is a good portion especially for a kid. The kids menu also is interactive and comes with crayons so the kids can be entertained which is always a plus! The Pork Belly tacos were ok but the portion for the price was disappointing. I enjoyed the flavor of the rice and beans. The Ribeye Bowl was good, they keep all ingredients in separate areas of the dish. I felt there should have been a little more rice but overall it was a good dish. The waitress disappeared for a while, I wanted hot sauce for my tacos and my daughter wanted sour cream for her quesadilla but once the food was delivered to the table she never came back to check on how everything came out. I ended up eating most of my taco and rice without hot sauce and asked a separate waitress for hot sauce. Overall the experience was enjoyable, and the food was solid. This is a restaurant with a nice vibe with good food.

    A great family friendly restaurant with plenty of room for strollers or high chairs. The covered patio was lovely with a fountain. The dishes are on the higher end which is obvious with where it's located. The ribeye bowl ($22) had great quality but the portion seemed small. The langostino enchiladas ($26) come with rice but no beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, etc. Everything was good but not great. They have valet parking so we did street parking which was fairly easy to find.

    Elevated Mexican food that was pretty solid. They provide chips and salsa, but it seemed like the chips were ones that I could buy from the grocery store for $2. I had a frozen hibiscus drink that was delicious and the Tacos Carbon were also pretty good. They have a super nice patio that was heated which was well needed on a cold day. There is also complimentary valet.

    Love Jose's breezy and mellow atmosphere. Whether it's for their happy hour or dinner, delightful and efficient service it's been with each visit. Intoxicating are their Seasonal Frozen "Passionfruit" and "Mango Chamoy" Margaritas. As for food, while their tacos and salmon al pastor are good, excellent are their "Ceviche" and "Chile Relleno"! CHEERS!

    My wife and I really enjoyed our whole meal experience here. Absolutely loved the DIY ceviche Service was great Keep in mind it's either valet parking or park somewhere along the street from across

    Great setting for work lunch meeting. Love the ambience and the food and staff were excellent! Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks !

    This was a fascinating visit. We were led behind the kitchen through what looked like a secret door into a small private room. It was a pretty cool place with a nice long table, probably comfortable for up to 10 people. The food was better this time compared to last visit!!! The guac was my favorite, and was such a step up from last time. The other dishes ranged from just okay to pretty decent.

    Ceviche.... Delicious
    Mark G.

    In reality, this meal was a 3.5 for me sadly. I would love to start by saying the restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside, it felt like we were being whisked away to a resort in Mexico, and our waiter was extremely kind, patient, and explained all the food perfectly. The short version is that everything our waiter offered as a Chef's Special, not seen on the menu, was absolutely fantastic. The aguachile and Texas peach salad were truly phenomenal eating experiences. The shrimp aguachile was super fresh and bright and tossed in habanero ash making it all black like squid ink. What a cool eating experience. The Texas peach arugula salad was so refreshing and the bits of toasted quinoa provided an excellent crunch. The goat cheese spread on the bottom of the plate made me want to lick the bowl and the dressing it was tossed made it one of the best salads I ever ate. However the tacos I had, the Tacos de Tacha and Carbon were basic and meh. What a sad departure. The tacos de tacha is the chef's creation that changes regularly and this week was the chef's take on a Big Mac in a taco. I'm not joking. It tasted fine. But honestly it just felt like it was trying to compete with velvet taco or something. It felt gimmicky and uninspired. My steak taco was also just fine. Felt thrown together last minute. I've had better tacos at a gas station. If you want to know what José does the best, it's the green salsa that comes with the chips. I wish I could order it by the bucket.

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.

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.
