    We sat down at the bar and were almost immediately greeted by the bartenders, they gave us water as…read morewell as chips with salsa. We received two different salsas, a green one and a red/brown smoky one, the smoky salsa was really good, and it had almost a smoky, very chipotle flavor. The chips themselves were warm and crispy, they were also pretty good with both of the salsas. I asked for the Avacado shrimp salad, and after about 10-12 minutes all of our food came out, despite the restaurant being busy. In total we ordered my salad, a Cactus empanada of sorts, a couple tacos as well as a couple enchiladas. For about 20 dollars, the proportion of my salad was stellar! I got plenty of shrimp as well as a gracious amount of Avacado to go with it, all sitting on a bed of crispy salad, diced cucumbers and grated cheese (not sure which cheese.) The enchiladas were delicious, I got a bite of it and it was very bright, the mushrooms in it went well with the flavor they were trying to go for, and the sauce on top was delicious. The music wasn't too loud but it was noticeable, the lights all around were nice and dim, and there was occasional floral and red candle decorations around the place giving it a flowery, near authentic Tex-Mex restaurant experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get really good Tex-Mex food with a very nice service! P.S: I love that they have the addition of mouthwash in their bathrooms, perfect for adjusting your breath on a date. But do not make the same mistake I did of pumping mouthwash onto your hands thinking it's soap, don't be like me

I figured I would wait out some of the city traffic before calling an Uber home, and stop in for some lunch and a margarita! Now, I ended up ordering their larger size, strawberry marg and OMG! It was so good, and definately strong lol! I only had to order one bc it was definitely a good time! I also ended up ordering their shrimp cocktail as my meal. The portion size was fairly small, however, it is listed as an app and not an entree, so it is as expected. Because I was there solo, I sat at the bar, and the bartender was so lovely and made great conversation! She was also very attentive, and I felt very safe as a independent woman in the city! Overall, it was a great experience! And If you are looking for a frozen marg in the city! I def recommend! We already can't wait to go back!

The patio had a wonderful view, and nice breezy alley with shade from the Texas sun. Plus we were able to bring our 4 legged son. Who was well behaved under the table. The wait staff is super nice worried about our baby needing water. We had the enchiladas suizas and the fajitas. Everything was delicious, the margarita was as big as I expected it and I loved it hehe. We didn't have space for desert but our four legged son did and he enjoy it to the max. Ty to the amazing team at uno mas so caring for our son as we would. Can't wait to be back.

    Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. 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.

    I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
