    Lengua plate with double beans $15... SMH.. really Tipicos.. you could do better..
    Christina L.

    Service was great. But the food portions was the main problem here. Been coming here over 20 years and this the first time I had a bad experience. I understand beef prices are at the highest I've ever seen but to be served this lunch/kids size meal at $15 is ridiculous. Mind you we've ate there 2 weeks ago with no issues. This is Tipico's (Northwest Highway Dallas). We ordered Lengua plate double refried beans and no rice. No way this is double beans and lengua enough for 3 tacos.. $15...

    The dining area.

    OMG!! We have not had a good Tex-Mex cuisine since living in San Antonio, THE FOOD WAS FIVE STAR DELICIOUS . Huevo Rancheros with eggs cooked perfectly with the whites solid and the yolk runny AND not plated on top of corn tortillas, the Rancheros sauce is to die for, made with thick sliced jalapeños! Best of all no black beans just fantastic refried pinto beans and fresh made tortillas made by hand and not with a tortilla machine. We live 36 miles away and the drive was worth it. We have tried other places in Ft Worth. And how I knew it was Tex-Mex restaurant? NO POZOLE, they have the three Amigos: Caldo de Res, Pollo and Menudo. We will be back!

    Guisado en salsa verde
    Hector F.

    Every person in Dallas says this place is bomb- so this was a place that I've been wanting to try. So I'm finally here. Parking spot is small but there is parking- this place is packed but there was tables available- the whole time I was there people kept on coming but people were leaving also. - sit where you want- the waitress was good. Friendly- The Menudo- was missing some flavor I did like the meat it was chucky Nopalitos con Guisado de Puerco en Salsa Verde - and it comes with fresh homemade tortillas corn & flour- - the food was good. The rice was ok- the beans were actually pretty good. The guisado was good- One thing i was disappointed was that the salsa verde wasn't spicy- the salsas we got with the chips were not spicy either- for a Mexican joint , food needs a kick- not to burn off your tongue but a nice kick - that's why I was disappointed - maybe the jalapeños were being friendly that day- I will go back to try again

    Caldo de Res

    Everything was perfect except that it's too far from me!!! Flour and corn tortillas are homemade. Tried a little bit of everything and was not disappointed at all!!!

    Al Carbon Taco
    Agatha E.

    I've been here many times before and it's safe to say this place never disappoints. This is a traditional Mexican food spot that's family owned over by Love Field Airport. It's been around for decades and is one of two locations in DFW! We ordered the eggs with chorizo plate that comes with potatoes and beans & the tacos al carbon which comes with rice and beans. Your choice of tortilla as well (flour or corn)! The food is very tasty. Good service. I also had the horchata to drink (which is basically a sweet drink made with rice & cinnamon) & it was very yummy. Once you're done ordering you pay at the front! The ambiance is lively & it is usually very busy-- but I am not surprised. The food is extremely delicious and traditional. Please go dine here if you haven't already. They take to-go orders as well!

    We found this place based on yelp reviews. It was very busy at 3pm so we thought we made a good choice. We got seated pretty quickly, but were not acknowledged by servers for a while. The person seating us finally came over to take our order. He then handed us over to a waitress. Our drinks and chips came out fairly quickly, but it took a while for our food. Other tables around us got their food first. The food was good but not outstanding. Seems like they have quite a following, but not worthy of the crowd.

    When was rancheros and beef fajita tacos?
    Kelli T.

    Right by Bachman Lake and the highest rated tacos in the area on Yelp. You'll find ample parking and plenty of seat, yourself booths, and tables. Tables are numbered and you pay at the front. Be sure and get there early as it gets very crowded. The server was very friendly and efficient. Chips, salsa, and my huevos rancheros were delicious. My son and grandson enjoyed the tacos. The homemade flour tortillas were a hit with all of us!

    I'll take the large bowl, please!

    Mom used to make an Italian version of "menudo" (tripe) with a spicy tomato-based sauce and potatoes. Grew up loving that! When I first moved to Texas from the Midwest I was excited to see "menudo" on the menu at an (unnamed!) Mexican restaurant and ordered it without having done my research. It was HORRIBLE!!! Really greasy and obvious the tripe was not cleaned very well; it was years before I would ever try again. My second try was at Casa Navarro and, while theirs was MUCH better, the fact they serve it only Saturday and Sunday as well as it being "just okay" (still a bit too greasy for me) prevented me from going back. Today after doing a lot more research, I ended up at Tipico's at 10:45am on a Thursday--they serve menudo every day! I was surprised to see how crowded it was, getting one of the final few parking spots in the main lot. After sitting down at one of the last available tables I placed my order... a LARGE bowl of menudo--being only 50 cents more than the small bowl it seemed like a no-brainer. I (gringo) also appreciated that the waitress didn't ask me "if I was SURE I wanted to order it" like had happened both times before; it made me feel like less of an outsider and more welcome to be there! ;) What I was served along with the chips, salsa, and corn tortillas was AMAZING! The broth was so flavorful and the tripe was mild tasting and delicious. I could have eaten two large bowls! I do agree with some that a bit more hominy would have been nice but did not experience the saltiness described by some. If you ever feel adventurous and want to try menudo, I'd say this is the place to go. It was by far the best soup made with tripe I've ever eaten (sorry mom)! As long as you're able to mentally deal with what it is, the appearance, and texture I am confident you'll have a positive experience. Don't feel you need to have a hangover to enjoy it! I will DEFINITELY return... soon!

    Taquitos advertised as tacos on the menu. Staff was really helpful in explaining the issue and re-making my order to what I wanted but in the end, taquitos were served (not tacos).

    Beef fajita tacos

    Love this place since I visited 8 years ago. Everytime I'm in dallas I make a lount of coming here. Staff is great and never had a bad experience with the food. The Agua Fresca lime is fantastic. They always bring you a basket of chips with 2 types of salsa always a plus. Fajita tacos homemade tortillas 8 outa 10 Rice and beans 8 outa 10 Agua Fresca 9 outa 10 Service 9 outa 10

    Sopa de res

    Tipico's is one of the few Mexican restaurants in Dallas I can confidently say serves a TRUE, AUTHENTIC Mexican food experience. My family and I have been coming here for YEARS. This ain't no fancy "gourmet" Mexican food or chimichanga/queso type Tex-Mex. It's, for lack of better terms, a hole-in-the-wall that serves BOMBBBB Mexican food. My mom is from South TX and she says the food tastes like authentic Texas Mexican food and is the closest to the food she gets back home. The quality is consistently great and they serve chips and salsa. The salsa is spicy af and not watered down at all. I love the red salsa. The chips always taste fresh. The service is always fast and the employees here work hard. We've never received poor service here. The dishes are amazing-I highly recommend their breakfast tacos (bacon & egg, nopales), their beef soup (sopa de res), and their res guisado taco plate. You won't be disappointed here.

    Menudo
    Amanda O.

    I was craving an old school Mexican breakfast and stopped here. They do not have a long menu, but have an array of items from tacos, flautas, enchiladas, and more. It was very busy, but the waitress was quick to get everyone in and seated. The restaurant had some great music playing and TVs, but not too loud so you could converse with family and friends. They have the typical drinks you can think of and alcohol, but what stood out is that they actual Aguas Naturales and not from the machine. This something very rare in the Tex mex restaurants nowadays! I had the Lemonada and it was so refreshing. They gave chips and salsa, but with a hint of Tipico's way of doing things! A fresh red salsa that is the right amount of spice and flavor AND a cold salsa that is mild for my friends that just want to have a "chips and salsa" type of day meal. They are both appetizing and a perfect table starter before you get your meal. I ordered the chilaquiles and it was delish! Please keep in mind it is not the typical spicy version you might be use to it is Egg with tortillas and chorizo, beans, and potatoes. It also comes with either flour tortillas or corn. What I liked it was not too spicy and I could enjoy! I also tried the Menudo and was just like "how grandma use to make it at home" with a punch of flavor. If I could I would of drank the broth lol. Seriously, try the Menudo it is what they are known for. The staff is quick on their feet and constantly getting their customers in and out of the door. That is what I call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I will be back to try the rest of menu items! Thanks Tipicos for being one of a kind!

Everything was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks and we are so glad we found this location and made it happen!

A few important notes though: this place is SUPER loud, especially upstairs, so if you are trying to take your older parents somewhere for a nice dinner where you can actually catch up and have a conversation, this might not be the spot. Also, avoid the upstairs dining room if anyone has mobility issues. The stairs are a little sketchy in that dark space because you basically have to TRUST there is another stair step in front of you even though you can't see it. And a heads up, do not wander into the wrong bathroom upstairs like my husband did because the "men's" and "ladies" signs upstairs are also nearly impossible to read in the dark! But honestly, those are really my only complaints... The service and food were both very good. We had a couple of ordering fumbles. We got the regular queso, and then immediately watched another table get the tableside flaming queso and we were seriously bummed. Like, really bummed. That is definitely what I will be ordering next time. The chips and smoky salsa were excellent!! - and I always appreciate when everyone gets their own little portion of salsa so everyone can double dip without feeling like a heathen. I ordered the wagyu fajitas (the half portion), and it was still easily enough food for two people. I will say the meat was more like a filet mignon texture and less like the flavorful fajita meat I was expecting. My friend's pork fajitas were actually much better and had more flavor. When the manager stopped by to check on us, I had to announce my own birthday because apparently my friends were not going to help me out with that (some friends, huh?). They brought out a complimentary sopapilla cheesecake with a candle, which was a very nice touch. All in all, I loved the place and totally understand the hype. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. There is valet parking, but we found easy parking across the street. I cannot wait to come back and try that flaming queso!

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.

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.
