    Delicious! The restaurant is tucked in the intersection of Ross and Greenville ave. Once entering the interior was well fashioned and inviting. Its presentation prepares you for the beautiful presentation of their food. Theresa welcomed us and had us seated quickly. They gave us extra time to look through the menu and we ended up getting the Frida and Vampiro Nacho for our drinks. The drinks were extra fresh, fruity and quite strong. The ceviche is hands down the best I've had from a restaurant! It was creamy and fresh and the presentation was beautiful with a ton of edible flowers. #girlyceviche Our plates were very good and once again fresh but was hard to compare to our delicious appetizer and drinks! Definitely coming again to try out the rest of their unique drinks and more ceviche!

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!!!

    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! 😊

I came in mainly to watch the game and have a few beers, but the service was so good you'd think I had ordered the entire menu instead of just casually committing crimes against the free chips and salsa. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. Honestly, if they treat a guy this well for drinking beer and demolishing complimentary chips, I can only imagine what happens if you actually order food. Definitely made me want to come back hungry. PS- my server was Anthony

    I really wanted to like Uno Mas, but it was an uphill battle. We dined here for brunch on a Sunday…read moreand they were moderately busy. The restaurant seemed warm and inviting with all the natural light, but as the meal progressed, there were quite a few misses that degraded the overall experience here. First, they didn't really have much in the way of non-alcoholic drinks except for sodas, which I typically don't drink. I wanted a flavored lemonade or an agua fresca. The waiter said they had lemonade and they could add some mango flavoring, but when I go the drink, it was terrible. It was like a Countrytime or something to that effect. I couldn't taste the mango flavoring. The waiter was kind enough to offer to remake the drink when he realized I didn't like it, but it was the same again, so I gave up. It just tasted so artificial and gross. For my entree, I ordered an enchilada plate with scrambled eggs and potatoes. The first time it came out wrong. It was beef enchiladas and not the cheese that was listed on the menu. Then they brought out my plate again and it was now covered in queso. According to the menu, it was a cheese enchilada with chili con carne, but I didn't want to raise the issue. I was really hungry at this point and just accepted it. The food was okay...2 1/2 or 3 star territory. The restaurant itself was pretty cool. I like the location and the abundance of natural light, but the miscommunications with the kitchen and the generic lemonade drink exposed some real opportunities here.

The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

    5/5 Stars Everything…read moreabout my dinner at El Carlos Elegante was exceptional. Rather than ordering à la carte, I chose the Elegante Experience, a four-course chef-curated tasting menu that concludes with dessert for $99 per person. The menu evolves with the seasons, allowing the kitchen to showcase its freshest ingredients and current specialties, so every visit has the potential to be a little different. For the quality of the ingredients, creativity, and execution, I thought it was an outstanding value. Every course was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. Not a single dish felt like an afterthought. The house-made masa program and wood-fired cooking really shine throughout the meal, and it's easy to see why this restaurant has earned such a strong reputation. The service was prompt, attentive, and genuinely courteous without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance, it feels refined while still being warm, familial, and incredibly inviting. If you're ordering a cocktail, I highly recommend the El Dragón. It paired perfectly with the meal and is worth trying. I've uploaded several photos with this review be sure to flip through them to get an idea of just how beautiful the presentation is. El Carlos Elegante is one of those restaurants that reminds you a tasting menu doesn't have to be intimidating or overpriced. It simply delivers outstanding food, excellent hospitality, and an experience that feels well worth the price. I'll definitely be back.
