    Empanada and chicken tamal
    Gabriela G.

    Tacos and QuesoBirria tacos are bomb, food is always fresh here never disappoints . There's one person taking orders at the front and then your plate is delivered to your table. Great service and calm ambiance with movies playing or music sometimes.

    Mole and tamales

    Do it! Place your order and eat here!! So damn good!!! And I'm picky when it comes to mole!! And tamales are on point!! Yup just order!

    Primera y última vez que voy a esta fonda a comer la comida está Super cara como si fuera un restaurant de lujo y el servicio está pésimo por un plato me cobraron $15 nada que ver y por una orden de plátanos fritos seis dólares y traía tres rodajitas de plátanos me parece muy exagerado

    Customer service is amazing, but in my opinion the food is extremely over priced and lacked flavor. I will also admit I did not order what I came to order because I didn't realize the enchiladas didn't have anything inside so I couldn't get chicken or steak inside. They also mentioned they only had pork so I decided to avoid the sopes. If I had to do it again I would have ordered the sopes or tacos. I would have given a 3 or 2 star based on the food I had, but I looked around and the place is very clean and I enjoyed myself watching the nba finals. The server was nice and even covered my change and gave us free sour cream. Which tasted more like a home made light whipped mayo. The bathrooms where clean and overall the whole place was very clean. I would give it another chance one day to try something else simply for the fact that I enjoyed myself.

    I've been here several times, food is good but my review is based on customer service today. It was horrible. I entered and not greeted, no one checked on me, I asked for coffee twice and wasn't given coffee till 10 mins after. I could see employees just in the back talking away with no care in the world that I was there or taking care of the store.

    Slow service but the food was delicious. My husband ordered the taco plate and I got the tostadas plate.

    What a wonderful discovery! Authentic taste and great service! Feeling of local small business!

    Antojitos. The perfect way to try some of everything...because everything is delicious!

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had a Mexican grandmother and you would go over to her house and she would feed you delicious things until you would pass out in a small pool of happy tears? Wonder no more and give this place a try. If you have a Mexican grandmother, by all means go visit her, but come here if she's not available. Here you will find Oaxacan style Mexican comfort food so good you might consider quitting your job and becoming a professional customer. The Antojitos plate is a great way to go if you want to try a variety of options. Sure it's an "appetizer" plate, but how else will you be able to taste the empanadas, gorditas, guarachas and tostadas on one plate? You can customize each individual item for which kind of meat ( or beans, or cheese) you'd like. Better yet, give up the headache of making a choice and just let your friendly employee choose what they think is best. It's a safe bet they will be right. Service is friendly. It's tiny and super casual. A perfect sort of place that feels like you are somehow both local and far away. If they bring you a fork with your antojitos, make sure you don't use it. This is handheld food at it's finest. Silverware is for cowards and royalty.

    17. Picadas a la Mexicana
    Helen M.

    The food was immaculate, a solid a la mexicana, but the soles/picadas are were it's at! I want to come back and try their asada/bistec al pastor I didn't get any that time because their menu overwhelmed me with how good everything looked, Service & ambiance of the place were calming, relaxing

    Real Mexican food, served by real (spanish speaking) mexicans! Do not come here for Tex-Mex; no chips & salsa at Limon's. What they do have, is outstanding authentic mexican food at fair prices! Order at the counter; if you don't speak Spanish - just order by the numbers on the wall. Big photos adorn the wall-menu, so it is easy for gringoes to select winners! Drink choices are limited to whatever is sitting in the upright cooler; I enjoyed my cold orange Fanta! The black bean soup is thin enough to drink, but tasty enough that you'll want more. Great Tostadas and Empanadas were enjoyed at our table. Adequate seating for the small lunch crowd. What they lack in decor, they make up in food quality. Before we left, the owner came over to make sure we enjoyed our food. He also offered menu tips and invited us to return. A big tip of the sombrero for hospitality!

    I had been dying to try this place for like 8 months, and recently I finally got the chance to stop by their West Dallas location. I first want to say this is not a Tex-Mex restaurant nor is it your typical authentic Mexican food restaurant or taco spot. Limon's specializes in AUTHENTIC street food from Veracruz. The 2nd thing I want to say is it's going to take me multiple trips and multiple posts to truly showcase this place. It's that good. Literally almost every single thing on their menu is post worthy, and I truly mean that. It might be my new favorite Mexican spot. If you can't take my word for it, Dallas Observer named them one of the 100 must try restaurants of 2020 and one of the top 50 restaurants. Their empanadas are rated #1 on Yelp Dallas! This trip, we kept it pretty simple just so we could get a decent sample. I got the Combinado Jarocho which came with 2 empanadas (we recommend chicken), an egg with salsa verde, picadas jarochas, and refried black beans. I also had to try their Tamales Veracruzanos, which came beautifully wrapped in a banana leaf. Trixie got the Gorditas Veracruzanos with chicken. It was stuffed in what looked like a puffed and deep fried corn tortilla topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese and sour cream. They also kindly sent out a couple of tacos out for us to try. The al pastor was excellent, but that conchita pibil was the winner for me.

    Food is authentic, chilaquiles verdes are delicious!. Spicy Service is really fast and staff are great. The only cons is that this place needs more cleaning, floors were sticky.

    Empanadas just like mom make so las cerca qué hay a Veracruz en dallas

    Probably the best Veracruz restauran in Dallas Food was nothing but amazing everything I order was just like cook back at home Congrats to the cook you can taste the pasión

I went to The Mexican during Dallas Restaurant Week and had such a great experience. Hospitality: From the moment I arrived, everything was on point. No wait to valet, the hostesses were warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. My server, Daniel, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable walked me through the menu and gave great recommendations. Food: Everything I had was delicious. I started with the chips and assortment of salsas and dips, which were really were incredible! For Restaurant Week, I had the tortilla soup, the shrimp/bacon tacos, and the leches cake for dessert. The tortilla soup was especially impressive, both in presentation and flavor, and the shrimp tacos were excellent. Honestly, there was not a bad bite all night. Ambiance: The restaurant is beautiful--chic, polished, and much larger than I expected. The different dining areas each seem to offer a slightly different experience, which adds to the overall feel of the restaurant. Overall, I left feeling like I had a genuinely great night out. Great food, great service, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be back.

    LOVE this place. God bless the people who came up with Las Palmas…read more First of all, please never change the queso- it is heaven sent and we always take it to-go (I'm NEVER leaving the rest behind) and it tastes even better the next day. This queso is probably the best I've ever had. BTW it is a LIL spicy but I can let that slide. Another great appetizer option would be the Nachos Al Carbon with wagyu. Super good too & honestly you can even order it for just one person as a main dish-- the serving size is big enough. BUT THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW AT LAS PALMAS ARE THE WAGYU FAJITAS!!! Incredible. Comes with flour or corn tortillas, beans, rice, and obviously the works: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce. You know the vibes. Speaking of vibes, they're always there at Las Palmas. It is always busy but I genuinely don't care and never mind waiting an hour and a half for our table. It's worth it. This place is a confirmed staple in Dallas. Probably come here once a month if not more often. Thank you for great food and good service too- that's hard to come by nowadays. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! This is your sign!

    Exceptional Sunday Lunch at Las Palmas…read more Our first visit to Las Palmas was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The seamless valet service and warm, professional welcome set the tone for an afternoon in their beautifully appointed dining room. Our server, Carlos, was truly exceptional. He went beyond standard service by sharing the history and traditions behind the menu, which added a wonderful layer of depth to our meal. The Queso Flameado, prepared tableside, was a highlight, followed by excellent entrées and a perfect Tres Leches cake. It is clear that Manager Tony has cultivated a world-class team; every interaction, from the host to the dining staff, was polished and welcoming. Las Palmas offers some of the finest Mexican cuisine in Dallas, elevated by genuine hospitality. We will certainly be returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a premier dining experience.

    I see that it has been more than 10 years since my last review so it is time for an update…read more We went here for a late lunch after attending an event at the American Airlines Center. There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.
