    Churros (chocolate sauce, homemade whipped cream, berry compote) terrific!
    Alexei R.

    Look Mexican sugar quality of food is amazing. Everything is fresh and homemade. First the tortilla soup we had was awesome. Full of flavor. Elote amazing. Tastes how I like it. Good balance of mayo, cheese, lime, hot sauce and grilled corn. Machete marg is my favorite. Comes with watermelon cubes and it has a slight kick at the end. Very refreshing. The sea bass entree is light yet very flavorful. Salad is very citrusy so it pairs well with the fish. Fish was seasoned and cooked perfect. Churros with the sauces were a perfect dessert. Churros are fluffy yet light and sauces are amazing. Lastly, our server J was awesome. Attentive. Placed everythjng accordingly and took good care of us. Shout out to him. I worked at the one in las colinas but the one here in downtown is a little better in everything. Thanks J

    We had 10 people in our party so the wait for the table was a little longer than usual and we were celebrating my sister's birthday. Iris was pur server and she was really patient with waiting on us. She even provided a lighter for the cake and to go containers without complaining on us barking orders at her. The restrooms were clean but very dark to match the dark ambiance of the restaurant. I was a little sad we did not get a kids menu but my daughter liked the roasted chicken with queso. I had the same same. The classic margarita was great and strong. The did add an automatic tip due to a large party. I also tipped extra because Iris was really great to work with. Will be back and would love to test out the balcony.

    I've been to this location two times. Once on a Saturday and most recently on a Sunday. Both times were very good. Actually, the other locations are just as great. The food is always good and the service is great. I like the rooftop appeal of this location. But other than that I don't feel there's anything super stand-outish to this location. The energy is good. It's not too loud but it feels vibrant. We ordered from the brunch menu which felt kind of limited but the server said that's all they were serving on the Sunday we went. The man got carne asada tacos. I got a caesar salad (which came out about one minute before our main meals) and seafood fajitas - lobster tail, scallops and shrimp. Both were delicious. We ordered our usual drinks- como la flor and mezcal old fashioned. And then had a shot of tequila after. We spent about $170 including tip.

    It's always very crowded but we love just sitting at the bar when there's only 2 of us! Service is great, chips and salsa are great, and MARGS ARE GREAT! We got the quesadilla and shared it and guess what! It was great! Always a staple

    Mole Chicken Enchiladas
    Denise G.

    Decided to stop by Mexican Sugar tonight to cap off the weekend. We'd been here in the past and visited the one in Irving. The menu has changed quite a bit. It's smaller than before. First, let me start by saying our waiter was the best. 5 star service. Checked on us frequently and made sure we had drinks and chips. Atmosphere was nice and one to mingle in. The chairs we sat in were like patio chairs, so uncomfortable. I'll start by saying that the food used to be really good. I guess the concept has changed and it's more commercial now. For starters we got the queso which was pretty good. The salsa they serve with the chips is very bland now, we asked for salt to give it some flavor. My husband got the Chicken Mole enchiladas and I got the Hamburguesa. The burger was okay, but I've had better. Yuka fries were good. That Chicken Mole plate was terrible. The mole was super pasty and bland, while the chicken tasted like something out of a fast food restaurant. Small chunks with an odd texture. The cilantro rice was just as bad and the beans were bland. Neither of us finished our meals. We really enjoyed this place in the past. This was our first time in a little over a year maybe, we won't be back. It's not worth the money spent. Again, service was excellent and atmosphere was nice. Food, not so much. Never again. Stars are for the waiter and atmosphere.

    Great spot. Always enjoy my time here. Ordered the steak fajitas and they were a little bit off this visit. The plate didn't come out sizzling. Overall it was still good! Pro tip: the Mexican sugar in frisco/plano gives full size margaritas for the flights! So I highly suggest checking that one out for an elevated experience

    Mexican Sugar always hits the mark! The service is consistently great--super attentive without ever feeling too much--and the whole vibe is warm, inviting, and full of good energy. The food and drinks never miss, but the real standout for me is the chicken enchiladas. They're incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and honestly some of the best I've had anywhere. Paired with one of their cocktails, it's the kind of meal that makes you keep coming back. Definitely one of my favorite spots whenever I want amazing food, great drinks, and an overall great atmosphere.

    We went on Valentine's Day without a reservation and we're still able to get in pretty promptly. We did choose to sit at the bar for immediate service. The vibe, the food and the aesthetic were right up my alley. There were multiple flight options which I enjoyed. The food was good. Not extravagant but delicious and well presented. And the chip and salsa (complimentary) was warm. Roses were given out. Which was cutesy and the music was at the right tone to engage in good conversation.

    The food was amazing and service very friendly. The place is very beautiful. I loved the margarita flights. I love the warm salsa. Definitely will go back.

    We celebrated my wife's birthday here and the table was ready when we walked up, the food was great and the drinks were strong.

    Amazing drinks great atmosphere food is pretty good. Would definitely be back just for the ambience and the drinks alone and the location is fun.

    Had such a nice lunch with my family at Las Palmas! This was our second time visiting this location…read moreand it definitely lived up to the hype again. Since the weather has been so nice lately, outdoor seating is super popular, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you can. Even though we didn't have one, they were still able to accommodate our group which we really appreciated. The service was amazing...everyone was so polite, attentive, and fast. The drinks were delicious and the food came out surprisingly quickly as well. They also offer valet, but if it's packed, there's parking across the street too which was convenient. Highly recommend for a nice lunch or dinner during the weekend. We'll definitely be coming back again!

The location is super cute and always packed. You definitely need a reservation or have to go super early to get a spot. There is valet parking as well as street parking, which can get a bit crowded. I've had a ton of different food items the years, but their fajitas are their signature dish for a reason! It comes out sizzling, fresh, and delicious. Do not pass up on the bone marrow sauce, it transforms the dish to beyond a 10/10! The salsas are always good and then tortilla chips salty and fresh. I start with a skinny margarita w a salt rim, which was good. Our waiter, Abraham, was great! He was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We also order the ceviche to start, which was yummy! The crackers were a bit of an odd pairing for me and I stuck with tortilla chips, but overall delicious!! My friend ordered the steak quesadilla and thought it was tasty too.

We hung out comfortably and had a couple of drinks before heading out. The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

    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.
