I stopped in to have a quick lunch during a work trip and was not disappointed. The restaurant was not very busy and the server was both kind and efficient. The margarita was great and, although I usually like chunky salsas, their's was smooth and extremely flavorful. I also enjoyed the tacos. The shrimp was better than the fish but they were both good and the cabbage added a great crunch to the tacos. The only negative I had was that the rice and beans could have used a bit more seasoning, but I could have caught then on an off day. Overall it was a really good dining experience!! read more

La Comida made my visit to Dallas a little better! Firstly, I was drawn in my "Mexican Kitchen and Cocktails." :-) and then the establishement was nice, clean, service was A-1 and we got there just in time for Happy Hour, $7 margaritas don't mind if we do!! The food was fresh, came out on time and service never lacked. The owner was very mindful to thank every customer that supported him, introduced himself and held small talk. Overall excellent experience and I would recommend to anyone visiting Dallas to give this place a try. Thank you for the superb service! read more

Loved my meal! Had the combo with one beef and one chicken enchilada, and a brisket taco. The sour cream sauce on the chicken enchilada was so good! Loved the freshness of the Texas caviar as one of my sides! My server, Ingryd, was so kind and helpful! The music was just the right volume and the decor was so fun. Would definitely recommend! read more

Beautifully decorated for Christmas! I wanted to love this restaurant, but did not and won't return. My friend and I with her child and mom arrived just before 3pm Sunday. According to their website, there was happy hour and live music from 3-6 with $7 margaritas. I proactively mentioned happy hour and when the server seemed confused, I showed him the advertisement on their website. Soon after, the manager/owner walked over and said they had no live music that day. I asked about the $7 happy hour price for margaritas, and he responded they were not offering that either. False advertising is not good business. The food was ok, not great. The street tacos did not come with limes which is unusual. The elote and rice tasted freshly made. The tortillas tasted store bought. Service was bad. Our server was friendly, but very inattentive and forgetful. We had to remind him 3 times that we ordered Blanco queso before we got it, and it was only moderately warm, not hot. We got our entrees way before the Blanco queso appetizer. Our server never asked us how our food was or if he could get us anything except for offering soda drink refills shortly before we left. When I was leaving, another manager/owner asked how everything was. I was honest and started to tell him about my experience. Both he and the manager/owner who visited our table at the beginning were very defensive and aggressive saying the Sunday happy hour was only one particular Sunday and he already told me that. They aggressively asked what they could do about it. In my mind, it was too late for offering a $7 margarita or a refund. Because he asked, I simply was trying to be honest and offer constructive criticism to remove the happy hour advertisement from their website or honor the happy hour prices on it, but they angrily told me to leave a bad review - that will actually help their business. Their aggressive, angry words really left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

La Comida used to be unique and have interesting menu items full of flavor and authenticity. Sadly I must've come in after they decided to change their fare. It had been a little bit since last I was there (maybe 3 months) and wow everything had changed. From the menu to the service and none of it for the better. I was very disappointed with my last visit and sadly I doubt I will return. The staff blatantly ignored us, the fajitas were bland, the tortillas were stale and cold. The ambience was always what it was before, garish loud and fun... however the experience and food were not. Very boring Tex Mex fare and subpar for the price. read more

They close the kitchen pretty early, but the bar stays open later and I loved that they had the stars game playing. Our drinks were good, and the food had a lot of flavor and was well cooked.

So I've been in my feelings a bit since the OG Oak Cliff El Fenix and Tejas closed a while ago. Where are all the classic Tex-Mex joints going? Well, Comida has come along to save the day! Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) I had during my recent visit was EXCELLENT! You really can't go wrong so just order whatever looks good to you because it will be good. And I love that they prepare their nachos the correct way with all of the toppings on EVERY SINGLE CHIP! Not with everything just thrown on top like you're at a football game. Service was so friendly and fast. And I love the decor! No evidence of the former Spiral diner. Just cute pink flamingos everywhere! So happy I found my new neighborhood Tex-Mex spot! read more

Service was very exceptionally friendly. Drinks were reasonably priced since we showed up at Happy Hour! I went there to specifically try the roasted pulled pork (Cochinita Pibil), which was tender and very well seasoned. My only complaint was that the corn tortillas seemed a bit raw (crudas, sin dorar), and the pibil was dry (poco resseca). Interested to give them a second chance due to the amazing customer service. Decor and ambiance were also very welcoming. read more

Man... this place is a hidden gem. Really neat space inside with diner style tables and a large bar. Right off the bat the chips and salsa is the first measuring point for a Mexican spot and theirs do not disappoint. Super crispy chips and the salsa is fantastic. Margaritas are dangerous, they taste fresh and no bite. To eat, we got the pulled chicken chilaquiles and the Yucatán style pulled pork tacos. Elote and charro beans on the side. The chilaquiles was amazing topped off with a little salsa and the pork tacos were tender and super flavorful topped with pickled onions. Service was great as well, could tell the management/staff really care about taking care of customers and keeping a well run shop. read more

Like they say in South France, this place is ¡Muy Bueno! Had lunch with a buddy who also loves Mexican food. We came in after 1pm and it was almost deserted. To start, the chips and salsa were great. I asked if it was gringo salsa (en Español), the server replied, ¡Como que No! It wasn't! I ordered the pork street tacos and a side of beans. The tacos were some of the best I've had this year. He had the beef enchilada plate, which he wolfed down. Since we're working just a few buildings over, we will be back. read more

I have been wanting to try this place because the colors are very enticing. When we walked in the staff was VERY friendly. They sat us very quickly. We started off with the complimentary Chips and Salsa. The salsa was very spicy and I loved it. I also wanted to try the Queso Fundido and it was so good. I would solely come here for just that because I could not stop eating it. I landed on the Chicken Chimichanga for my entree and my boyfriend got the nachos. My favorite were the nachos. They were perfect and even better when I added a little Queso on top. PERFECT! The owner or manager not sure stopped by the table and told us this is their second week. I definitely see us coming back. Great service and even better food! read more

On the other side I've never had a lobster roll before but this genuinely has no flavor and has experienced some serious shrinkflation when compared to other pictures here on yelp of it. The fries were great though. The dessert also was nothing memorable and was a very basic bread pudding that could've been warmer.

We made our reservation about a month in advance and had no issues at all with booking. The process was quick and easy. Leading up to our reservation, however, there was some confusion regarding the menu being served during our reserved time. After calling ahead, we were told there would be a children's menu available and that we could order from either the brunch or dinner menu. Unfortunately, once we were seated, we found that only the brunch menu was available. Since this was our first visit, several of us had already looked through the online menus and picked out dinner items we wanted to try, so it was disappointing to have to pivot, especially for those in our group who aren't really breakfast food people. Thankfully, we were still able to find dishes everyone enjoyed, and the food itself was exceptional. Standouts for our table included the dip (definitely add the crab!), the steak and eggs, and the Nashville chicken sandwich. We also ordered the oxtail hash, but it was a little too spicy for our mom due to the jerk seasoning, which wasn't clearly advertised on the menu. Thankfully, the issue was addressed quickly and professionally. The true highlight of our experience was the service. From the hostess to servers simply passing by our table, everyone was warm and friendly. Our server, Cooper, was absolutely fantastic. His smile, energy, and sense of urgency had us laughing because he practically ran to grab whatever we needed, yet never missed a beat. We had a few feral children in our group, and he handled them with so much patience and kindness, even entertaining their off-the-wall requests. It was also great seeing the manager actively walking the floor and checking on tables throughout service. This was our first visit, but based on the food and especially the hospitality, we will definitely be back, next time for dinner service!

Next time for sure. The catfish and grits were cooked perfectly and full of flavor -- highly recommended. The fried chicken was seasoned just right, perfectly crunchy on the outside, and juicy inside. Waffles were soft and fluffy, exactly how they should be. Get the Avacado toast for a lighter option. The mimosa flight was a nice touch, and they make a killer espresso martini. Huge bonus points for the live jazz -- it really elevated the whole brunch experience. Great food, great drinks, great vibes. Perfect spot for a girls' brunch.

The staff was warm and attentive, making you feel right at home. Their specialty coffees are a must-try--don't miss the Billie Holiday (lavender/honey) or the Ella Fitzgerald. One quick tip for the minimalist eater: if you visit during weekend brunch, the kitchen pivots to a heavy, savory menu. You won't find simple pastries or basic toast options during these hours, as even their avocado toast is a massive, fully-loaded meal. Which is a miss for me. Regret we were so hungry I forgot to take pictures of the food! Overall, it's highly recommended for a lively atmosphere and top-tier craft lattes!

Can't believe I've missed this place so many times when I'm the area! We were sitting at the bar so service was fast, though not very friendly, with plenty of showmanship to entertain. These are true mixologist and can make anything but we decided to work through the cocktail menu. My fav drink of the night was my Match Mucho, never had anything like it, but it grew on me with each sip. These are not guzzling drinks, definitely sip and savor. I didn't like all of the drinks (couldn't get halfway through the Red Headed Oaxacan), but I like the variety and that my palate was challenged. Flavors of all the cocktails were complex with many layers. And the vibe of this place was adult, and low-key. Serious cocktail connoisseurs need to check this place out!

Like, you can taste the difference. Whatever the cucumber drink was tasted like springtime in Ireland lol. Now let's talk about the vibe because BABY... from the outside, you would NEVER expect what's inside. You walk in and suddenly you're in a full-on 70s-inspired living room. I mean, the velvet-lined hallway and the beaded doorway *should've* been my warning, but nothing prepares you for it There's tons of seating too: comfy couches, chairs, tables, booths, it really feels like you're just hanging out at somebody's very cool house. They've even have a pool table, and right at 8pm an aggressively competitive Uno game breaks out, which was honestly hilarious to watch. This place is such a vibe. Fun, unique, and just different in the best way. 10/10. I'll definitely be back.

The comfy seats, neon lights and unique drinks make for an immaculate vibe. I got the sugar land summer and I really loved the vanilla foam. Thicker and tastier than any foam I've ever had, I want this again. The orange creamsicle part was a little bitter though. I really enjoyed my sweet surrender and would have ubered here instead to have another - the brown butter Bacardi and pecan was great. They cooked and left no crumbs.

It also made it easy for my 2 year old to run around a little. The beer was tasty but I was shocked how good the pizza was. I usually am not a big pizza fan but this really hit the spot. The crust was so soft and perfectly chewy and all the toppings so flavorful. The tater kegs were also so delicious and cheesy.

It is a beautiful brewery, with amazing brick walls and concrete floors that give the place a bit of an old time industrial feel. The staff here is really upbeat and friendly, and really work hard to make your visit a good one. The menu here is a simple one. One that makes me think about when I watch a Gordon Ramsey show and he tells restauranteurs the are trying to do too much and to simplify their menu. This menu is simple...Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, Chicken Fingers with Fries, Chicken Wings, or Caesar Salad. There is no criticizing these guys for over-complicating things, lol! We ordered Chicken Fingers and a Pepperoni Pizza. Both were better than I anticipated and way beyond the "bar food" stigma so many of these types of places have. Seriously, I would order them both again!

My boyfriend and I have made this our anniversary tradition. Last year we loved the experience and…read morethis year it was no different. First of all, is this restaurant perfect? No. But what has us coming back is their consistency and attention to detail. The space is gorgeous and each room brings a different vibe to the dining experience. We were sat in the darkest of the rooms that was very romantic, and thankfully the music wasn't too loud. When we were seated we found a frame on the table holding a message congratulations us on our anniversary, with our names included. It was very sweet! Our server was prompt, attentive, and very charming. She asked us questions about ourselves and also gave great recommendations throughout the night. The drinks were good! However, the Passionate Kiss started to taste very chemical forward the longer it sat (I'm a slow drinker) so I only finished half of it. Not sure if it was because of the print on the foam originally or what, but it wasn't pleasant. I got the scallops and loved them, especially since I was able to try their orzo with it that normally comes with the salmon instead. The scallops were tender and the flavor was rich and well balanced with the rest of the plate. My boyfriend loved his chops and devoured everything. He also got the Potatoes Au Gratin and couldn't get enough. They were very rich and had great flavor. I had previously seen reviews from others saying the potatoes and other dishes were bland but that was not our experience. The rolls were one of the best parts. I wish I could whip butter like that at home. Towards the end they brought us a couple of glasses of Prosecco to cheers with, and a complimentary dessert (the Samoa sundae). We also ordered the Chocolate Decadence which was incredibly good. The goal is to come back next year, and plenty of times before that as well. Thanks to the Evelyn team for such a great dinner!

Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the experience for us. To be fair, several friends highly recommended the restaurant and spoke very highly of the food, so this may have just been an off night. Still, first impressions matter. I ordered the salmon cooked medium, but it arrived slightly overcooked. My husband requested a medium steak, but it came out medium rare in the center while somehow being medium well on the outside. The meatballs felt like they were missing something flavor-wise, though the calamari was good. The sides -- mac and cheese and loaded mashed potatoes -- were also a bit underwhelming. My daughter's lobster pasta was just okay as well. On a positive note, the service was solid and the Old Hollywood cocktail was perfection. I'm open to giving Evelyn another try because the atmosphere really is beautiful, but my husband has officially retired from future visits.
