    Chicken and Pork Tacos. Really great! Sauces will light you up, wonderful flavors with a nice kick! Very sweet service and great prices.
    Greg M.

    Really great tocos (I've had the chicken, beef fajita, and pork) wonderful sauces with a nice kick and flavor balance. Sweet service, I walk my dog there and they see me out front, bring my order, collect payment, done! Love this neighborhood spot and would highly recommend!

    Simply delicious

    I took my brothers to see if anything has improved and he'll yes, absolutely delicious. Food was on point and we all were having fun and having. It all changed when the bus boy was refilling coffee and my brother nudged me said he was packing a cannon on his side. Now I know there was a hold up and shooting there a while back, but geezus a fool parading around the miniature dining area was unsettling. Imagine if someone did make the mistake to rob them and Rambo took it upon himself to spray and pray. Not only would the patrons be obliterated but the surrounding community which would catch a round at least a Mike and a half. I'm happy that the food has been elevated but I will not sit in their dining room for fear that he may go nuts and off everyone because he's having a bad day. Enter with caution.

    I ordered the mole cheese enchiladas for myself and it was ok. I was upset it wasn't made with traditional red enchilada tortillas but oh well, it was ok but had a strong mole flavor and it was lacking some salt. Came with some sour cream and made a very big difference with the mole for me. My kids each had breakfast tacos and my wife had a plate of egg,chorizo, and ham mix along side with beans and she said it was very good, tortillas were homemade(I can tell) and so were their most awesome spiciest salsas. I loved that their salsas came in jars because it made us feel like if we were right at our families house. We were very welcome here and the lady whom i think is related to the owner was very very nice, considering that our kids can get a bit loud and out of control. The service combined with the food experience is what kept me me giving it a 4 star rating overall. I can definitely feel passion in their food and I WILL HAVE to come back here for more as I am disappointed that I cannot give it the full 5 stars that I know it deserves from me. Nonetheless, keep up the good work Lulus!

    We tried the barbacoa, bacon & egg, chorizo & egg, and a bean & cheese for my niece, and every single one was delicious.

    Finally made it over to The Mexican and boy, a time was had!…read more Service here is top notch. From the moment I stepped in the door I was treated like a celebrity! Complimentary champagne, and AMAZING service from our waitress. I've literally never had a server with such extensive knowledge of a restaurant's menu. Very impressive! We also had a amazing experience with the manager. We needed some accommodations for our table and he was so thoughtful. He even provided us with a complimentary cuatro leches cake slice! (which was HUGE btw). While the service was exponentially excellent, the food was...good. The menu was what I would describe as "elevated Mexican" with some other Latin-inspired steakhouse dishes (think filet mignon with some salsa on the side) Everything was good, but nothing really stood out for me. One more thing, lots of good people watching lol! Dallas ladies love a to dress up and I saw so many fabulous looks on my recent visit. Great place for a date night or dinner with your girls. Highly recommend! Beautiful space with fantastic service!

I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

    El Carlos Elegante was in fact elegante!…read more It was everything I wanted in a Michelin recommendation restaurant. I really wanted to try something different and fun, so we ended up getting the elegante experience for $99 per person. I was not disappointed at all with this experience and it offered a ton of great food options. I was so full at the end of this experience, however, every single food item I tried was great and kept me wanting more. To highlight a couple of the items given on that "secret" experience was the tamales, the wagyu steak and the green sauce that came with it, and the sponge cake at the end was a great finisher. I really did enjoy the entire experience of the restaurant and the food. The entire staff was on top of their game and made sure that we had a great time. For me this restaurant was a 9 out a 10. There's no doubt in my mind that I will be back and probably take people here too.

We had actually booked…read morea reservation at another Doce Mesas location, but I did't know there was another location. 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.

Not the end of the world, but good to note!
