    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.

    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.

    Taco de lengua

    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.

    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

    La Cubana
    Okari O.

    Overall: it was something I could eat if I had nothing else to eat, but I wouldn't deliberately eat here over and over again Details: I visited here on a Friday evening after wanting to try it for so long. Why did I want to try it? I'm not sure, given that it shares a parking lot with a Walmart. But anyway, I ordered a La Cubana and a bistec quesadilla. I was told the quesadilla had lettuce and cream, which kind of freaked me out initially because I was unaccustomed to that, and then in upon eating it my freak out was justified, because I personally thought it felt off. The La Cubana was huge huge, and I normally don't fine most food to be huge. It's like a giant sandwich made up of every meat you can imagine. In my opinion, it was an object of quantity rather than quality. I didn't even eat the entirety of my portion of the Cubana. After trying the quesadilla, I didn't like the lettuce there. But I just don't like lettuce in general, so maybe I should have asked for it without it. But even without the lettuce, it would still not have been higher than 3 stars. It was mostly affordable, which that's nice. And I love getting a good value (size) for your dollar. But in my opinion, the food quality could be improved a bit.

    Tacos and gordita up top. Yum-mo!

    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.

    Had such a nice lunch with my family at Las Palmas! This was our second time visiting this location…read moreand it definitely lived up to the hype again. Since the weather has been so nice lately, outdoor seating is super popular, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you can.

The drinks were delicious and the food came out surprisingly quickly as well. They also offer valet, but if it's packed, there's parking across the street too which was convenient. Highly recommend for a nice lunch or dinner during the weekend. We'll definitely be coming back again!

The location is super cute and always packed. You definitely need a reservation or have to go super early to get a spot. There is valet parking as well as street parking, which can get a bit crowded. I've had a ton of different food items the years, but their fajitas are their signature dish for a reason! It comes out sizzling, fresh, and delicious. Do not pass up on the bone marrow sauce, it transforms the dish to beyond a 10/10! The salsas are always good and then tortilla chips salty and fresh. I start with a skinny margarita w a salt rim, which was good. Our waiter, Abraham, was great! He was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We also order the ceviche to start, which was yummy! The crackers were a bit of an odd pairing for me and I stuck with tortilla chips, but overall delicious!! My friend ordered the steak quesadilla and thought it was tasty too.

We hung out comfortably and had a couple of drinks before heading out. The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here.

Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

    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 was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
