The food was easily a **15 out of 10**--yes, it was just that good! The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, so much so that we turned the women's bathroom into our very own little photo shoot . I leave in another eight days to head back home, but I will definitely be making one more stop here before I leave Southlake. If you're in the area, please check this place out--you won't be disappointed!

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. Respectfully Ben Martinez

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.

The drinks were nonstop, and the chips and dips were awesome. Our waiter, Jose, made ordering easy. We got chicken Flatuas and Fish tacos OMG when I say the best Fish Tacos I have ever had. I've been to several restaurants since then, and none even came close to the fish tacos. The tacos were flavorful, the fish was well-seasoned, there was crisp coleslaw in the taco, and there was this sauce that was the highlight of my meal. This is a must-try at least once.

Shortly later our drinks were brought to us and the servers returned for our appetizer order, which we declined and went straight to the meals. I ordered the Barbacoa Taco plate. It came with 3 tacos filled to the max as well as rice and black beans. My son ordered the Mole Enchilada plate. My tacos were moist and easy to eat, I added a little of the chip salsa to each which added to the flavor. I thought the rice and beans were well done as well. I did try some of my sons Mole Enchiladas. They had a chocolate flavor. He enjoyed them. The music, the decor and the layout are done nicely. You are able to freely talk at your table and not over hear people at the tables beside you. So kudos to that. I did enjoy my time spent here last night for dinner. Thank you Marcus, Sam, the staff and Mexican Sugar for a wonderful memory.

Our server was soooo nice and very chatty which I actually enjoyed tonight. It was nice to talk to him and enjoy their atmosphere. The food is pretty good too just nothing I haven't had before honestly. Still really cute place that I would recommend to people! They have a limited menu so be aware of that, but what they have they do it well. Chicken Fajitas: Doesn't come out smoking hot which I would've wanted but it had great flavor. It was boujee fajitas for sure lol. A bit spicy but I enjoyed that. 8/10 Tacos: a little dry but again had great flavor. 8/10 Queso; tasty but didn't come out super hot, it was kind of clumpy. 6/10 Horchata: omg so good must get 10/10

Everyone was so nice and our server gave all the good recommendations. We all really liked our drinks specifically the coco loco and casa verde (sub mezcal for vodka!!!). For one hitters we did the crab cake, surf +turf, and brisket. I personally loved the flavor of the crab cake. For vegetables we got refried lentils and Tijuana caesar. Both were pretty good but the tostadas with the lentils were a little dry/stale. The Caesar also needed more dressing. We all split the el machete and I loved the chicken tinga and cheese in it! One thing you cannot skip is the carne asada. This was everyone's favorite dish as the meat had so much flavor and was cooked perfectly. I will be dreaming about that dish.

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!
