    Chicken, jalapeno and god's fave onion.
    Faz K.

    This place is legit. You know you're onto something when the chicken is still tasting good as next day leftovers. I grabbed food from here on a whim because the Mrs and I were sick of the standard rotation. I ordered ahead online (and paid) but it seemed like they didn't assembly my order till I got there so I had to wait. That was mildly annoying but I did get to spend some quality time with my phone that way. We got the full chicken along with roasted Jalapenos and charo beans. The meal comes with 10 corn tortillas and a decent helping of rice. They gave salsa verde (creamy, awesome), chile arbol (meh) and I also go habanero (not as hot as you'd think). That's a lot of food for 25 bucks. The chicken came wrapped in butcher paper kind of like Texas BBQ. First good sign. They had half a grilled onion in there tightly hugging the chicken so that was a nice treat when I unwrapped it. Smelled divine, taste did it justice. The Verde and Habanero Salsas' powers combined to form Captain Planet ... wait .. combined to form salsa yumsome. Anyway I like this place and am going back. They are welcome to make me wait again while they assemble my preorder nexttime. I docked a star but will be a happy complainer as long as the food meets the same standards :)

    I have been to this location and the only thing that's always consistent is the chicken. If you want to order a tostada siberia it's a hit or miss because sometimes is really good and other times is a big disappointment. The tostada I got was super stale, it was hard eating it and even made my teeth hurt. The Mexican burger was flavorful, juicy and the fries were super delicious too. Now with this Texas heat you might wanna just order to go due to their AC not working properly. It was like 90 F in there this last time I went! Service was ehh I had Clauriannys take my order and it was like I was doing her a favor by ordering she was a little bit rude, they can definitely do better than that. I've been here many times and I've had friendly service before.

    Every time we visit Texas from Florida we eat pollo regio. It is the best food ever. Grilled carbon pollo

    I had heard that the chicken was really good by several people so I decided to try them out. I pulled up to the drive thru..no line and ordered the half chicken special- 4 pieces of mesquite grilled chicken, 2 sides ( I got french fries and rice), tortillas & a drink for $13.99. The cashier was nice and helpful. The chicken was very good. I like the way the chicken was prepared..the seasonings and spices were good too. The french fries were crispy and the rice was good too. I would eat there again.

    A super dry, hard, salty burnt burrito.  Hardly no cheese

    Super dry, hard, salty and burnt burrito!!!! Top it off, I was given a half of bowl of refried beans which was cool and the rice was hard.....Totally dissatisfied. This was the Beltline in Irving location

    Flauta, supposedly.

    If I could give negative stars, I would. We were at at the Bridal store next door, and smelled something great,so went here afterwards to grab a bite to take home. Big, giAnt, expensive mistake. Three separate orders, nachos, flautas and chicken Monterrey. Where to start...have you ever had crunchy grilled chicken? I did! It was dry as a bone and literally crunched when I bit into it. Imagine the dry kind of beef jerky and that's what the chicken was like. Dry, hard as rock chicken jerky. The nachos were greasy and the chips dark brown (burned, bitter, and gross). The flautas were dried out, burned and when opened, had two pieces of chicken in each. So we're eating pb&j instead of the nice late lunch we planned. It's too far to go back to this location, so I guess it's just a write off of $30 and lesson learned. AVOID POLLO REGIO. Update: (Someone from the company has reached out, but I have no intention of answering back. We will not be eating there again. Period. The food was too awful to contemplate another attempt)

Since the weather has been so nice lately, outdoor seating is super popular, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you can.

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.

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.

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.
