Mole verde
Christopher C.

Great service-- cannot stress that enough. Was easily persuaded to get the margarita! The mile verde was also swell and paired well with the drink. Fellow friends agreed that the vibe was great! Need to try other fun drinks. Cheers!

I found this super dope Mondern-Mex place that I absolutely fell in love with while in Dallas. The service was amazing, food packed major flavor, the vibe was nice, I mean, all around super solid. 5/5 for me, and trust me, I've been to some good spots, I don't throw those out there lightly. Check it out. Lechón - Slow cooked, tender Pork Loin, Quelites, Roasted Cherries Tomatoes, Red Onion, Corn, Mexican Squash, Seared Serrano Peppers, topped off with Mole Negro and a side of Fresh Corn Tortillas, yooooo Must try for me. Aguachile Tulum - Light, simple, but amazing! Octopus, Cucumber, Red Onion, Lime Juice, Avocado, Micro Cilantro, Mango and Serrano Peppers. Absolutely delicious! Another must order, for real. Guac-Guac - Serrano Peppers, Habeneros, Fresh Avocados, Lime Juice and Queso Ranchero. Amazing, and I say that because it's better than your average, promise. Complimentary Chips and Salsas - Housemade Tortilla Chips, 3 Salsas, Green, Red and Roasted. All really good, especially on the food. If you're in the Dallas area, check em out, I promise you won't regret it. Enjoy!

I just want to say that this place blew me away. From the outside it is very small looking, but this is such the deception because they have outdoor seating that is air-conditioned outdoor seating on a patio and they have an indoor area, the food was absolutely amazing and my server did a really good job and making sure that we had great food that was authentic. I will definitely be returning here, please do not hesitate to try the drinks as well. Everything here was just delicious.

Mole Rojo

Service was excellent and so was the food! When you are seated, you get free chips and three salsas. The drinks are unique but I wish they were a tad stronger! Overall we had a great experience and we are definitely coming back. :)

Mole Negro
Mere K.

Food and service was fantastic. We didn't know how to choose from our mole sauces, so got to try them to decide. Couldn't have gone wrong with any of them. Flavor profiles were sophisticated and the volcan (basically a big boiling bowl of fajitas) was just amazing. The vibe was great, since you can actually hold a conversation. Love it!

Asado de Boda-$25. Steamed pork on a rich, spicy sauce! yum!

I pass this place frequently while out and about running errands. Zaddy was in town and I always know what he wants.... TACOS! (I've converted a yankee, yall ;-) ) Moderately busy that early Saturday evening. Our waitress with the cool red colored hair was a gem. Just when you thought she forgot about you, she appeared out of nowhere with exactly what you requested! The restaurant is very small but these folks make it work! They utilize every square inch magically! The nachos were hefty. Could've been an entree. Not bad for $13. The asado de boda did me right. The sauce isn't as spicy as it looks and the pork????...girl FORK TENDUH! It comes with tortillas so you can make your own tacos or you can be a weirdo like me and take a bite of tortilla after every bite of pork! At $16-$20 a pop the drinks could have a little more alcohol in them, but I get it, they want us to drive home safely lol. That was an easy fix. We just ordered another shot!. I strongly recommend the Mr. Rodriguez! I'm an avocado lover, but you really don't taste it in the drink. Not overly sweet where it would have my stomach in knots upon completion. I asked all my fellow yelpers to stop "just driving by" this place. Walk in and treat bae, the fam, or just yourself!

The food here was so delicious and the place itself was very pretty. Fresh flowers on the table and the wait staff were so kind and considerate. Highly recommend.

Lechon 10/10

We happen to look for some Mexican brunch options and decided to give this restaurant a try. It was the best decision worth the drive from Irving. This was like finding a jewel in the sand. Can't get over with the flavors of their salsas! Salsas are the soul of Mexican food is what I feel! Exceptional service!!! Beautifully plated with fresh ingredients. Their portions are of decent sizes. They have a full bar with both indoor and covered outdoor patio seating, offering a quaint dining experience. If anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine taquero is the place to go!! I highly recommend this!

Let me start by saying that this unsuspecting place delivered both in quantity and quality of the food items we ordered. We came in when they weren't super busy. It was late afternoon but we wanted to grab an early dinner before heading to the hockey game. Our waitress was very pleasant. The restaurant was brightly lit and kept clean. We ordered some cocktails while we peruse the menu. My husband had the Frida which I tasted and ended up ordering as well because it was quite good. I ordered the lechon which was tender and wonderfully braised pork loin over cherry tomatoes, red onion, corn, Mexican squash, Serrano peppers, panela cheese, green rice and then covered with mole negro and served with some corn tortillas. So good and the serving was huge! I could not finish it but the food heated up really well the next day! My husband got the mole rojo served with red rice and pento beans and enjoyed every bite of his dish as well. Our experience here was both delicious and fantastic. If I am ever back in Dallas, I will be sure to stop in!

Carmen
Eddie I.

First and foremost, there is limited parking in the back and they do offer valet! As we were walking in, we were immediately greeted and offered a table! Great energy and light music made for a great welcoming! Looking at the menu, nothing jumped out at us at first. We debated on going elsewhere but figured we'd give it a try; so glad that we did! We started with the beef nachos that knocked it out of the park! The red cabbage Mexican slaw was a perfect pairing with the nachos! Great way to start off the meal experience! We then got the Carmen and the Brazeros! The Carmen had shrimp, queso asadero, toreados, mexican coleslaw, guacamole, salsa toro, green rice and each item in their own was flavorful and delicious, all together, mmmmmmmmm! The Brazeros were Four potato crispy tacos, mexican coleslaw, red onion, crema fina, panela cheese, salsa brava and were perfectly cooked! Crispy outside and perfectly mixed and melted filling with the cream fina on top! There was no way to not dive into dessert after three great dishes that we decided to get both desserts to try! Best decision of the day! The EL MEXICANO: Mexican flan, frutos rojos; was the perfect consistency and sweetness! The PASTEL DE ELOTE: Fresh corn, fruit, rompope; was served warm and delicious perfect soaked in rompope without being too soft! Great texture and warm, sweet, and savory! Will be back again and most definitely stop in and enjoy!!!

Enchiladas con pollo

A+ all around. Food service ambiance great. Flavors were well balanced and beautifully plated. My new fav. Will be back.

Are kids ok to bring into the restaurant? Is there a kids menu?

Hi there, of course! We don’t have a kid’s menu, but there are some options (off the menu) for them.

Can anyone look at their bill and let me know if they charge extra to 'shake' your drinks?

No, we don’t. ¡Saludos! 😊

Celebrating our 1-year anniversary at The Mexican was nothing short of extraordinary…read more From the moment we walked in, the energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for excellence were evident in every aspect of the experience. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service came together to create an unforgettable evening. A special shout-out to Ashley, whose hospitality and mastery behind the bar elevated our celebration even more. Her knowledge of her craft, warm personality, and thoughtful recommendations made us feel truly welcomed and valued. It's rare for me to give an establishment a perfect score, but this one has earned it without hesitation. 10/10--an exceptional dining experience and the perfect place to celebrate life's special moments. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We can't wait to return!

It was my first visit, and it was absolutely worth the wait. I've seen all the Instagram posts, and I finally got my chance to experience it for myself. Since it was Taco Tuesday, I had to order the tacos and the ceviche. I snagged a cozy corner seat so I could take in the entire atmosphere, and everything was spot on. The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the bartender was even kind enough to take my picture. From the service to the vibe, this place exceeded my expectations. It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

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've been here twice. Everything we ordered was very good both times…read more During our first visit, I had the Caesar salad, which I declared at that time "the greatest Caesar salad I've ever tried." It was glorious and bountiful--there was ample dressing, cheese, and other ingredients I'm forgetting that made it unique. Unfortunately, during our second visit, the Caesar salad was significantly different. I think they used the same dressing, but there was very little of it. There was nearly no cheese and the other ingredients were similarly sparse. It was still good, but it in no way was the greatest I'd ever tried. I hope that this was a 1-off experience, as it truly was the best. I will report back next time. Service was great both times- they were very careful about my Cilantro request (none) and even though they gladly prepared dishes without it, they also made a list of things that already had none by default. Salmon ceviche, Pork al pastor, Carne asada, and the machete were also very good. The machete is a specialty- it had the house made masa and fillings can vary.

The food here was great! But the service here was bizarre to say the least. 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 justttttt could not love this place more. Mezcal margs, chips and various dips, and banging…read moreshrimp tacos. The service is so polite as well. What more could a girl want? I would like to mention that they nickel and dime you pretty hard. There's a split plate fee and they voluntarily brought out veggies for my GF friends when they inquired if they could eat the chips, but they ended up charging us $6 for it. Not the end of the world, but good to note!
