La Calle Doce - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have dined at La Calle Doce and they always do an excellent job of making each experience feel special. This particular location has individual rooms they are setup like dining rooms which makes it feel extra homey. They have a patio out back if you want to enjoy the weather. The service has always been great and the food is always excellent. They have nice variety on the menu from Tex mex, seafood, and traditional Mexican dishes. If you are looking for a consistent place to go out to that is reasonable priced this is a great option. read more

This is a cute mexican seafood place. I didnt think the food was special but they had live music and a nice ambiance. They were taking free pictures for the holidays and then selling you some other prints, which i didnt mind. I ordered the paella and none of the protein was good. Unflavored and some chewy. The rice had good flavor but that was it. One of my complaints was that the plating was terrible. Some plates were very empty- see pics of the brisket tacos and quesadilla. Very dissatisfying. Im not sure i would go back with as many places there are to try out in Dallas. read more

I called to inquire about reserving a couple of tables for a gathering. Unfortunately, the representative I spoke with was extremely rude--he repeatedly interrupted me and didn't allow me to finish a sentence. When I tried to confirm the details I had received, he responded harshly with, "I don't have time for you," before abruptly transferring the call to someone else, who identified him as the owner. I've had poor service from the staff in the past, and this recent experience confirms that the customer service standards here are disappointingly low. read more

Anytime I'm in Dallas, this place is a must! People and food are great! Staff was welcoming and warm when we stopped in for lunch! Chips were crips and delicious, and so was the salsa...ask for the spicer one. Warm tortilla with butter is a must. Smokey margarita was okay, a little too sweet for me! Had their enchilada and flauta and it was delicious. Rice and beans were good, seasoned well! Always a consistently good dining experience. read more

A tex mex restaurant that heavily leans into the cuisine of the Yucatan. Nachos had a fairly thick cut of fajita meat on each chip. Not my favorite way of consuming nachos, but it's forgivable when the meat was able to break up with each bite. The calimari was unlike any other calamari I've had. Rather than rings, these were fish stick like in shape, but resembling fake krab meat in it's tenderness. While I'm not certain it's squid or something else, it was highly enjoyable! The Seafood coctel was pretty good. Generous amounts of seafood, equally portioned in the glass. While I HATE tomatoes and black pepper, the presence of both were both tolerable for some reason. Service was on top of things, being present for most of the meal. Although we were moving slower than other patrons, they were quite eager to clear the table as soon as possible. read more

Consistently delicious food and cocktails, friendly service, laid-back, diverse clientele in a beautiful atmosphere.

So glad we finally checked out this spot! It's so pretty inside and very clean. Started with queso which was delish, and drinks which were also very good. I had the shrimp platter - wish there was more shrimp. The veggies and rice were yummy. Husband said the tacos al carbon were good. Personal preference, I didn't love the soup - it seemed really fishy. But my husband liked it. So worth trying! We will be back. read more

I recently had s meal at the original location so i got the same thing again as it was an amazing vegan dish! The spinach enchiladas without cheese! So delicious! The location wasn't my favorite, the walls were dirty and it didn't look clean. My alcohol beverage tasted like that weird cherry medicine from my childhood. It was a frost night and our waiter was very curt. Anyways the food was good and i was with a big group of friends so it was a fun time overall! I will go back to the original location if i want to eat here again read more

Tonight I had the quesadilla supreme and a mango and peach frozen margarita. I had the regular size instead of the large and I would recommend that to anybody thinking that a large gives you more. The quesadilla came with sour cream and guacamole, and a nice side of jalapeños. The supreme quesadilla comes with shrimp. All meals come with complimentary chips and salsa. I was able to get seated quickly, but if you're coming with the group, I would recommend Colin for a table reservation. read more

I enjoyed the fajita chicken quesadilla appetizer with sour cream. Straightforward fajita chicken and cheese on a flour tortilla with sour cream is my preference. The side of guacamole with tomato and onion was terrible. My husband ordered the sour cream chicken enchilada, and it looked okay. The chips and salsa were disappointing. Overall I agree with the previous reviews. 3/5. I hope we see improvements in the future. I'd love to see an awesome restaurant pop up in Lakewood, where this restaurant is located. read more

Gorgeous interior, live Mariachi singer, the fresh seafood soup is so good! We came with the parents after a lovely day at the Dallas Museum of Art. I've been to a different location but this one seemed bigger. I was pleasantly surprised to see a $3 margarita check in deal but am saving it for next time. Service was great despite it being a busy weekend. The portions are massive so I had lots of leftovers. I opted for three different fish tacos which were big and full of fish, unfortunately they pretty much all needed more seasoning. The charro beans and rice are classics and recommended. read more

Friday nights they have music with two singers going table to table playing Spanish music. Drinks are balanced. I started with a Paloma and ended with a Oaxacan paloma with mezcal which was very good (strong). For food we dived into oysters on the half shell which were not cleaned very well, some had sand and were not cut from the shell for easy eating. The coctel de camarón was delicious. Overall nice evening, quick service and good food. read more

My favorite place turned sour last night and to add insult to injury on my birthday! My sister made reservations for 21 last night. My brother and his wife walked in putting us at a total of 20 and across the room I heard him yelling at my family "YOU BETTER NOT HAVE ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE I AM OUT OF TABLES!!!" I got up and quietly asked if everything was ok, and he responded "NOT IF YOU HAVE ANYONE ELSE COMING" I explained my sister made the reservation and it was my birthday so I didn't make my own plans and he just kept screaming, I expressed I felt really uncomfortable and asked if it was better for us to leave and he said "LEAVE IF YOU WANT TO GO". I couldn't believe it and I told my family we should head out because I didnt feel welcomed but they know it's my favorite food and insisted to just stay. I felt so humiliated. The irony, anytime anyone visits DFW I always take them here and present it as a local jewel. He was so rude he even gave me his entire name and yelled "IM THE OWNER." I want to thank the waiters and waitress that took care of us, specifically Tony who apologized profoundly, explained that this is their livelihood and to please not judge them for the owners poor behavior, I made sure we tipped extra. I can't help but feel so sad to imagine the type of toxic work environment they have to deal with that owner. The Food is great; I ordered my usual favorite tacos de camarón - definitely do not feel comfortable going back with such a poor customer service experience. The owner is very elderly perhaps he just needs to go golfing and retire because it's evident he can't handle the business stress anymore. He could've just approached the party planner and reminded her that the reservation was for 21 only to keep that in mind- By the way- we double counted and I have pictures: WE WERE 21 in total. We Did not take any extra guests. We drove from southwest Fort Worth for this. read more

4 adults on 3/9/24, 4:30 pm. Meals: Brisket Tacos, Chicken Relleno & Cheese enchiladas. Cheese Enchiladas "only" few bits of onions. Of course, great flavor. Drinks: Pina Colada: good flavor, but no alcohol, as a very light weight drinker & she felt "nothing". Same for mojito; both Ladies are light-weight drinkers & no "nothing". Mojito-medium flavor. Margaritas were Good. Desserts: Flan was a heavy thick custard; not Flan! Whoever makes for y'all do Not know how to make Flan. AND, WONDERFUL SERVICE BY SARAH & COMFORTABLE SETTING! We've been there many times! read more

January 22nd we came for brunch. When it came time to pay the owner didn't allow us to use our Yelp coupon for a margarita bc it says house margarita and not flavored margarita, she said. Wich we were not aware but my point is, if your the owner and we are life long customers please don't die over 3 dollars. Keep them, we won't ever come back. Absolutely horrible customer service by owner lady! I'm a business owner, and my clients & their life long business will always come before 3 dollars!!! read more

We decided to give this place a try and the food was very tasty. They have two salsas. The red had a nice spice and the green was served warm and had a nice citrus flavor. We tried different lunch specials and were happy with the food. The problem was when we wanted to pay. They had a Yelp coupon that they wouldn't honor. The coupon was for a $3 house margarita. They wouldn't honor it though. The manager acted as if Yelp did it without their consent. She wouldn't accept that it doesn't work that way. Oh well. Next time I am around Lakewood I know where not to go. read more

This is kind of the restaurant you tend to love because you went so many times in the years past and you kind of forgot how good it was. And i forgot about them. But like that one close friend that you grew up with that you haven't talked to in years, but ye yet, you pick up the phone you call them and you pick up right where you left off. That's the kind of restaurant La Calle Doce is for me. On this particular occasion, I only stopped by to get some soup for my wife. She wasn't feeling too well so I decided to stop in and grab some chicken soup. I didn't wanna just get any canned chicken soup, and I didn't have the ingredients to make it for her. So I thought, how about something more with feeling and thoughtfulness It was good, but not necessarily what my wife needed at the time because she needed more of a heartier chunkier type chicken soup because she was feeling under the weather. Overall as I waited, I just sat at the bar enjoying a couple of beers while they prepped my food. I was reminded of how much I enjoyed going to that restaurant in years past as I waited. I hope to visit it again because what I saw on the menu was eye-opening. I forgot how good of a menu they had. read more

This is my second opportunity. I really wanted to leave with a positive review and try to get a good glimpse of what other people described as good service and good food. First, they took a very long time to get my order in, which it really bothered my since the waitress was just chatting on the corner. Second, I checked in with this app and I suppose I got a 3 dollar discount that were suppose to be discounted by the waitress and she said that she didn't know how to apply it and that the front desk will do it for me. When it was time to check out she said that the margarita was different and that I wasn't going to get the discount. What a joke, the owner was there and she didn't bother to clarify or make things right. I'm never coming back to this restaurant. The food was ok nothing you can get at a gas station corner and the drink was ok to be expensive. If they care more about $3 than a customer coming back then it's their choice, not mine. My family had agreed on not coming back but I believe on second chances. Well, it wasn't worth it. I hope the $3 go a long way. Also, their place hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. Just check how bad their place stands. When now says you can hire anyone to clean your business for a good price. It's very filthy. I'll attach some pictures so that they can clean and be better at what they do which is serving a client. read more

I got food poisoning. After wondering how a person can suddenly become allergic to fish... google provided the answer. "Histamine toxicity, also known as scombroid poisoning, is a form of food poisoning. Histamine toxicity is sometimes confused with an allergic reaction to fish. Here is why: Some kinds of fish contain naturally high levels of the chemical histidine. This chemical can be converted to histamine by bacteria. *bacteria like when fish is not refrigerated correctly or ?* In an allergic reaction, mast cells release histamine which triggers allergy symptoms. So, if a person eats fish that has a high level of histamine, the response may resemble an allergic reaction to that food. *your body is not making the histamine, you have ingested histamine which causes the same type of reactions* Certain kinds of fish are more prone to cause histamine toxicity. These include tuna, mackerel, mahi mahi, anchovy, herring, bluefish, amberjack and marlin. The most common cause of acute histamine toxicity is the result of inadequate refrigeration or spoiled fish. This causes an overgrowth of bacteria which converts histidine to high levels of histamine." I had the ahi tuna cerviche at La calle doce. and a topo chico sparkling water. that was it. on the way home I got a terrible headache and felt disoriented. in my house my palms and soles of feet started to itch and my nose was stuffed up. got scared and took a sudafed pill for allergies since I thought I was having an allergic reaction. went to the bathroom and noticed a bright red rash all over my body. it did not itch but I felt like I was having chills. then my intestines purged till about 1am. google said best to drink water and let the substance purge from my body. google said histamine toxicity can send some people to the emergency room. I use to love the food here. I know accidents can happen but I felt folks might need to know that what seems to be a sudden onset of fish allergy might not be that at all. read more

Came to celebrate Mother's Day early. Around 8:15pm during busy hours but, waited no more than 5 minutes. After being seated attended right away and served hand made flour tortillas made right behind where we were sitting. Shortly after the waiter took our drink order while we snacked on chips and salsa that were provided. Food order was taken as well and, brought out fast. Overall great atmosphere and great tasting food and great service. read more

No wait time to sit on the patio on a busy Saturday night. The inside looked like an incredible experience, but I hate waiting Food was amazing and we were able to get the 1/2 nachos for free with the Yelp offer. Massive draft beers were only $6 and the shrimp enchiladas were so filling especially with the fish soup on the side. Will be back soooon read more

The service was amazing and authentic!! The place was busy on a Saturday afternoon but we still were sat immediately. The food was amazing! But the snapper was super trash. Legit the ONLY thing I didn't like. It was 100% tasteless which made 0 sense considering it was coated with something. But listen. Everything else was amazing! The chips and salsa brought to the table were so tasty and fresh! The tortilla with butter they bring to the table was super tasty and warm and I mean cmon a bit fattening but totally worth it haha The plates we ordered came with their fish soup. Oh. My. Gosh. Possibly the best soup I've ever had in my life like seriously. Wow. The assistant manager was extremely disappointing. I let her know all my lovely compliments from the service to 95% of the food but when I told her how much I hated the snapper she just asked if I wanted a dessert. No ma'am. I'm sorry I'm not eating sweets right now and I don't think as a customer I should ever need to flat out tell you I don't think I should pay for something or request a discount. I personally just think the customer should never need to ask. And I always leave the manager at hand the discretion of their own offers. But for Lucia, she saw 90% of that snapper sitting next to a completely empty plate. You could literally see something was wrong and only offered me dessert. It was to my HUGE surprise I was charged full price. Honestly, makes me not want to go back... there are many restaurants in the city for me to not need to go back to a place where you willl only stand on your good dishes but not make up for the bad ones also. read more
