    Paisa alambre
    Alice L.

    My go-to is the paisa alambre with light cheese which consists of beef, nopales & mushrooms. Consistent friendly service & fresh piping hot food. The sauces do have a kick. Yum!

    Hongos Quesadillas
    Ricardo J.

    This place specializes, in, well, tortas - which are Mexican sammies. Many varieties are offered here, and from what I can tell, you can't go wrong with anything you choose. I have had a quesadilla here, as well as the Hawaiian Torta, and both were delicious. My colleagues also RAVED RAVED about their tortas, and we all broke out in a sweat as the salsas are FIRE. The red one, feels like literal fire, which is a good thing. For starters, you get chicharrónes, which are a wheat wheel snack. They can be tricky to have salsa with but are still a nice crunchy offering to tide you over until the food comes out. It can be a little loud in here, and the seating can fill up quickly, but for food and service, you won't leave disappointed.

    Taco de lengua
    Roberto G.

    Found this place on a whim on my way to drop off the misses at Dallas Love so I wasn't expecting much. What I ended up finding was a diamond in the rough. I was quite happy with what we had for breakfast. It was just supposed to be a quick and easy meal before a trip but it turned out to be a memorable one instead. The best item from our order was the quesadilla de chicharrón prensado. The quesadilla had all the right balances of meat and cheese wrapped in a very crispy outer shell. Typically, I think of a quesadilla as an appetizer more than an entre but this thing was huge and amazing without a doubt. Complete and utter surprise. We also had the chilaquiles with beef (bistec) and salsa verde with a side of beans. The chilaquiles were cooked quite nicely and the chips were still hard and not soggy. The plate was a delight to eat and I have no complaints. Lastly, we had a taco de lengua just to try out the taco. The taco itself was not bad but it was not the greatest by any means. It was your typical taco. Overall, I had a great experience and this establishment and the staff was attentive and amazing. I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely return.

    a basket of tortillas

    this place is more like 3.5 out of 5 stars. We had some time before our flight from love field, so we wanted to grab something nearby. i messed up. to come to a place with the name "torta" in it and not get a torta is a big mistake. I actually ended up getting a pambazo instead... which was not good. it was too starchy with all the potatoes in it. We also ended up getting a tripa taco and an al pastor quesadilla. These items were a lot better than the pambazo. I rarely get the tripa meat, but this place cooked it very well and i think i'll get it again at another mexican place. for drinks, i wanted a pina agua. and to be honest, it tasted fake. Not sure if it was bottled, but it definitely didn't taste authentic. Didn't have small chunks of pineapples in it... Typically you can find real pina agua at mexican super markets if sell agua from a jug. I don't know if its just me, but all the three sauces they provided were just too spicy. i couldn't enjoy the food with the sauces. The only sauce i liked was the simple tapatio they gave with the free chips in the beginning of the meal.

    Lunchtime in N Dallas, at one of my fav spots. Ordered 2 quesadillas, one is carne de rez, the other is huitlacoche (darker one) with pollo. And you get the complimentary pin wheels w/ valentina, and choice of hot salsas ... For those wondering, Huitlacoche is a type of fungus that grows on corn in Mexico. Its has a purplish, dark grey color to it when harvested. I tried it for the first time at an open market in Mexico City last year, and it wasn't bad at all. What does it taste like you wonder, to me, it really doesn't have a taste, but if i had to compare it to something, Its just like eating a mushroom. Not too many taco places here in the DFW offer this delicacy, so if you want to be adventurous, and try something totally different, stop by here, and order yourself one. If you do, let me know what you think...

    I enjoyed the service, it was Sunday and lunch time and it was not packed. The food was great, I was pleasantly surprised with the three different options of Salsa at each table and the place was clean. Will be back when I am in the area.

    This place seems to be known for its alambres. I tried the Alambres Insurgentes, which was tasty. They also have plenty of options for tacos, tortas, and quesadillas. Located near Love Field, the storefront has an indoor eating area and a small outdoor patio area for nice weather. All meals come with chicharrones!

    Pambazo
    Cassiel M.

    I wish I could give this a 3.5 stars. I had the pastor, bistec, and suadero tacos. My girlfriend had the chicken pambazo. The tacos were good, the only thing that I didn't like were the salsas. The green and red salsa were spicy as hell and without flavor. I also had the chicken tinga soupe that was amazing!!! Definitely try it. My girlfriend's pambazo was flavorless. It was alright at best. The food came out pretty fast. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars was because our waitress was extremely sweet and attentive.

    Gorita with pastor
    Andrew A.

    Food was good and hot. 3 salsas to choose from. Go with corn tacos vs flour tacos. The gorita fell apart fast so eat it with a fork and knife. Tortas are pricey but look big. For the most part, this place is a little over priced but good food and steady flow of people. The pastor had great flavor ...next time I'll try other meats for an extra 1.50

    Tacos and gordita up top. Yum-mo!
    Lily F.

    Awesome place! I love how this place is so unassuming from the outside but the moment you look at the menu you think to yourself, "Yay! I made a good decision for lunch! I don't suck at life!" And immediately pat yourself on the back. I came here with a friend and for some reason was surprised that it was a sit down restaurant; I thought it would be more of a grab and go seat yourself. The menu is simple: tortas, quesadillas, sopes, gorditas, alambres and tacos mostly. I ordered two tacos al pastor and one suadero (the meat between the belly and the leg of a cow). Each taco I think was about 1.25 to 1.65ish. Very simple but very delcious. My friend's gordita looked pretty tasty too. I loved the chilled salsas they serve with the food. The green one is more creamy, the red is spicer.

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!

We were there to eat so if they were going to wine and dine us in that amount of time, we were there for it!! Everything was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks and we are so glad we found this location and made it happen! I was looking forward to dinner here the entire day and it was worth it!! We had the queso blanco...it's got a kick...worth it! My wagyu fajitas were perfectly cooked medium rare and soooo flavorful!! I was my dessert in my pjs back at the hotel...the sopapilla cheesecake and ice cream held up perfectly and was everything I wanted it to be!! It's a dark atmosphere in the bar area, but the vibes were so cool. It wasn't too loud to where people were having to scream to converse...but it was not intimate where you could talk across the table softly with the other person hearing. We are still talking about Las Palmas days later and can't wait until we are back in Dallas to bring more of our group here to enjoy delicious food and great service!!

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.

    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.
