    Delux 57
    Jesus A.

    Food, service, and taste are one of my favorites when visiting Dallas. If you're here for dinner, you got a chance to try their 'Delux 57.' Pretty much has everything and the Cosina sink!

    Lunch menu
    Terrance G.

    Came here for a work lunch and despite it being pretty packed we were seated on the upper level very quickly. The service was really quick and flowed well from drinks to dinner. The tacos de brisket are a must try. The corn tortilla shell was cooked perfectly and the brisket was overflowing in the taco and was so tender and filling. The salsas are delicious but beware of the crema verde salsa it's got a good flavor but it'll kick you in the chest.

    Came to Mi Cocina once again but for lunch this time. Was served on by Miguel who was just so kind, everyone who works here is attentive and caring. Miguel gave us some great recommendations but I just had to get the Ceviche again and my husband got the Mi Tierra tacos. He brought some green hot sauce , it was spicy but so DELICIOUS. Thanks again for a great lunch

    I have never dined at a Mi Cocina before this visit and I am grateful. The food was dry, flavorless, and just completely lacking. I cannot comprehend the popularity of this chain. Friendly servers though

    Fave Margaritas!!
    Alejandra S.

    Nachos + Best Margaritas! Love to visit - they don't take reservations so plan ahead!

    Came here last sunday night and i was a bit surprised with how noisy it was. I was glad for the upstairs area that proved to be a little quieter. It took a bit to flag our server down to take our order but the food came out in good time and was pretty tasty. No complaints.

    Taquitos and salad
    Lisa C.

    Mi Cocina's Highland Park location in Dallas has delicious taquitos & salsa! Went on a Saturday afternoon and the wait was long so I opted to eat outside and I was pleasantly surprised at the great service I received. My server was very attentive and kept my water glass full. I definitely appreciated that as I was burning up from the Texas sun. Their guacamole was smooth and delicious and so was my mezcal margarita. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Dallas and want to sit inside. The restaurant was decorated in beautiful Mexican decor. This place would be awesome for date night and large party gatherings. The plaza this restaurant is located in has security parking and valet. Also great luxury shopping location near the restaurant.

    Chicken enchiladas with sunset sauce.
    Skip S.

    Such a great location. Christmas lights in The Village are beautiful. I had the chicken enchiladas with sunset sauce. Definitely recommend you get a side of this regardless of what you order. It's great. Has some nice heat. If you like caramelized onions they cook them perfectly. My wife who is Ms Particular definitely endorsed the caramelized onions. Be on the lookout for rookie servers. Good news is the managers are there to back up when needed. Check out the Monkey Bar upstairs as well!

    Sour cream, chicken, with rice, pico, and guac.

    For what it is, Mi Cocina is just all right. Nothing stands out either good or bad. All of the food is as expected. The portions are a bit smaller than they appear. Flavoring on the protein is generally good, but not exceptional. There seems to be a lack of a little authentic Mexican spice. Our waitress was good, but one little hangup I have is her wearing an earbud while serving us. Overall, it was a nice meal, and a very beautiful area.

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!

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.

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.
