    fried fish
    Maria L.

    They have an ice cream dessert that has sesame seeds and buenelo straws very delicious and big enough to share. The torta had a chipotle cream in it. Im a purist for Mayo and sour cream. The whole fried fish is big enough for one person. The salad that came with it had pico de Gallo on top of it.

    Left was our server and on the right was thebso called head I guess horrible people need training and learn to talk to people

    horrible service couldnt even get refills. didnt get a refill untill my food came out 20 minutes later then my brothers food was wrong so another 15 minutes wait. got the ticket saw they took out a tip from everyones ticket even though she doesnt deserve it. i talk to the lady thats in charge about the tip and she laughs in our face and defends her server because we only talk english. horrible servive and management. tips should be for people that deserve it. the photo attached is the two people that shouldnt be working in this industry. they were talking crap to us in spanish like we didnt understand what they were saying.

    There are other locations in the metroplex is how I got introduced to this restaurant however having one in my own neighborhood is a win! So I've been coming here since before COVID and I'm glad that COVID didn't take them out. I have never not gotten positive feedback from anyone who I have taken here (and I have taken lots). On the most recent trip I took my pickiest friend and he gave it a thumbs up. Their steak fajitas are delicious, I love their salsa and queso. Recently we got a drink while waiting for our food to go and it was on point. I had ordered something that didn't make it into the bag, I called up and they made it right. Seriously, if you are in the neighborhood give them a try! And I would have pictures of the food but it gets eaten so quickly that I never get a chance!

    Came in for a late lunch, I believe we arrived around 145 PM and there was only one other table occupied. So we were seated and our drink orders taken. I also ordered a bowl of queso for the table to share. I asked for extra bowls to share the queso and I felt a little negativity but brushed it off. That's when the other people I was with said our waitress isn't good and has an attitude. I felt we should give her a chance. Each time she came she stood as if in a hurry to leave. She took our order with barely a grunt. There were other employees standing around gossiping. Refills were never offered. When our food arrived I had to flag down the waitress and ask for silverware. I was briskly handed the silverware and passed it out to the rest of the table. The food was ok, not spectacular but not bad. I enjoyed my queso enchiladas topped with steak but the rice was bland. The beans were decent and the fries were hot. The tortillas are thick, like a store bought tortilla instead of homemade. When we were finished our waitress never brought our ticket. We finally got up and went to the register and asked to pay. The women apologized for our service, I guess she. Oils tell we were not thrilled with our waitress.

    Chille relleno with fajita and rice and beans and a side of salad.

    The waitress was adorable. But I don't know exactly what is going on in the kitchen. I asked for the Chile relleno with fajita and rice and beans. And I was surprised that my order was out super fast. Well when I dug in because this was my first big meal of the day at 2:00 pm Friday my fajitas were cold. And I asked the waitress is this suppose to be cold she said no I will fix this. I hate returning my food. And yet she came back with my cold fajitas and rice and beans were not hot they felt like room temperature. I sure was not going to send it back twice. It should of been right in the first try. I am so disappointed. And then you tell the waitress and what can she do but be embarrassed. I told the cashier as well and her response was did you tell the waitress. And I said yes. Abs yes she sent it back. But brought it back the same. She would not know she is just the waitress not the cook. Will not be coming here again for a while until I forget because I love this place and have never had a problem. Till today

    Went during lunch during the Week. Service is fast if you are time constraints but I've had better Mexican food. I wouldn't go back. But the food wasn't nothing spectacular.

    This is a Mexican food restaurant with an attached billiards in the back. Their frozen margaritas are delicious! You're served chips and salsa prior to your food coming out. If you want other salsa/Chile to go with your food you'll have to request it.

    Celebrating our 1-year anniversary at The Mexican was nothing short of extraordinary…read more From the moment we walked in, the energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for excellence were evident in every aspect of the experience. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service came together to create an unforgettable evening. A special shout-out to Ashley, whose hospitality and mastery behind the bar elevated our celebration even more. Her knowledge of her craft, warm personality, and thoughtful recommendations made us feel truly welcomed and valued. It's rare for me to give an establishment a perfect score, but this one has earned it without hesitation. 10/10--an exceptional dining experience and the perfect place to celebrate life's special moments. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We can't wait to return!

The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the bartender was even kind enough to take my picture. From the service to the vibe, this place exceeded my expectations. It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

    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've been here twice. Everything we ordered was very good both times…read more During our first visit, I had the Caesar salad, which I declared at that time "the greatest Caesar salad I've ever tried." 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.

So thinking we showed up for our reservation, this location says they don't take reservations. They stop at is anyway, which was nice. We were seated on the porch, and here's where things got weird. We ordered our drinks and when the drinks were delivered, we said we were ready to order, and the waitress, hesitated and then said she would be back. Kinda strange, but eventually we had our order taken. I ordered a mango agua fresca which was pretty good. The complementary chips and salsas were also really good. For an entree I had the Tempura Fried Fish Tacos. These were very good and the coleslaw served with them was very good- crunch and bright. Overall the food here is pretty solid. The service was a bit off, but not a deal breaker, just be prepared to wait a while to have your order taken.

I would like to mention that they nickel and dime you pretty hard. There's a split plate fee and they voluntarily brought out veggies for my GF friends when they inquired if they could eat the chips, but they ended up charging us $6 for it. Not the end of the world, but good to note!
