Came here for my wife's brunch party for her birthday. She booked a big table for the outside, but it was way too hot. The ceiling for the patio is what caused the heat to be more intense. I think they need to fix that we moved inside so we weren't part of the party and the patio with the DJ and mariachi, but we were close enough so now for the food I will not get the food again overly priced for mediocre food it was fun, but I don't know if I would go again unless we go just to drink and with the same group we went with!

Chilaquiles with steak

Went here for brunch on Sunday and sat outside in the covered patio area. It was very vibey and we didn't wait for a table! Also, really enjoyed the food! They bring the most delicious salsas to the table. The guac was good. We loved everything we ordered. The divorced eggs were very good with beans that were amazing! Loved the chilaquiles, although the amount of meat was lighter than we hoped. Good service! The Bloody Mary and espresso martini were amazing! We will be back here for brunch.

Brunch burger. Fries were a bit like those from the frozen food section at grocery store

Came for brunch on a Saturday for a friend's birthday. Overall consensus from group was that it may be a spot for drinks, but not for food. Pros: decor, music, cocktails (according to friends), and chips and salsa Cons: limited gluten free options at brunch, severely overpriced for portion size ($19 for guacamole and chicharrones -- you get 7 of them for that price and they charge $3 for extra), the waitstaff had limited knowledge of menu and what an item actually was (for example I was told a dessert was a cheesecake, then a cake, then a bread pudding (mind you the menu mentions none of these items in the description)), and there are only two tables but the service was quite slow.

Tacos
Juliette G.

Amazing service & amazing food! I'm so excited there is a fun restaurant with awesome food and service. The tacos were so flavorful and tender. The drinks were absolutely superb! Perfect for girls day. Wish you guys much success

Taco Tron Chorizo
Kimberly E.

Came on a Saturday night, we had a reservation and were seated on time. Service was slow even though the restaurant was empty. The entire table ordered tacos and we waited an hour for them. One of the tacos had a long hair in it. For the price of the food and service, would not recommend.

Bocado saved our night!!!! We had the most phenomenal meals (steak was amazing, sides were impecable, cocktails were AMAZEBALLS) - celebrating our bride to be! The staff (especially Natalie) made our night so special and memorable! I will be back here soon for a special date night with my husband - we live 40+ miles away - but this place is absolutely worth the drive!!!!!

Drink menu
Jessie C.

Great place for cocktails! We didn't get to try the food but we got the sandia spritz ($13) and the espuma pasión ($14). The bartender made us an extra free sandia spritz so the service was so nice! The inside has a dim intimate vibe to it. Would be a great place for a date night or small group outing.

Happy hour tacos
John W.

This place was tremendous. Beautiful interior and we were seated immediately. Service was very friendly and attentive. I had the three tacos on their happy hour menu...each one was better than the last. Three salsas as well to try. Excellent all around. Don't sleep on this one, Dallas!

Taco capricho, Colbrus, chicharron, pork belly
Samantha C.

Finally got to try this place! They've done a great job at redecorating the space, but it was a bit empty for a Thursday night, which resulted in our waitress being a little too attentive. I really enjoyed the sangria and the food was pretty tasty. The taco capricho were probably my favorite from what we tried. We also got the sea bass tacos which were slightly disappointing. The colbrus was good, the sauce complimented the Brussel sprouts well and was very savory. I liked the other dishes, but what bothered me was that in every dish, the meat portion is little baby chunks, which is hidden in a bunch of fluffy veggies. I would've preferred larger pieces of meat that I didn't have to go fishing for in the dish.

Try the Chilaquiles & French Toast!

I tried this place for brunch yesterday, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The service was outstanding--staff were constantly checking in, making sure everything was perfect, and even refilling bottles for you without needing to ask! Now, the food--truly top tier! Every dish was packed with flavor, and you can really taste the effort they put into preserving authentic, traditional flavors. To top it all off, there was a lively mariachi band that interacted with guests, adding so much energy and fun to the experience.Easily a 10/10. I'll definitely be coming back!

La coqueta and tortita ahogada for me, and a margarita and chilaquiles verdes for her
Paul C.

TL;DR: for their first time serving brunch, it was a nice meal with some areas to improve on. With time, I could see it becoming a regular spot for me! I'd been meaning to try Bocado after Dahlia closed down. We came in with brunch reservations not realizing it was actually their first day offering brunch! We got lucky with street parking on Hall, but they also have valet. Ambience: there was a big group having a baby shower, so it was a little hectic with kids and families, but not a big deal. Otherwise, it was clean with dark decor. Service: our server Manuela, along with the rest of the staff, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. There did seem to be some miscommunication throughout the meal, like multiple servers checking in if we'd ordered or bringing extra salsa. But I know they were figuring things out, so the mild confusion wasn't a major concern. Drinks: - La coqueta: rum, pineapple, orange, and coconut. Very tasty and sweet, to the point where I couldn't really tell if it had alcohol... but good nonetheless. - Margarita: just from their regular menu. Definitely a solid marg! Food: - Tortita ahogada: loved the flavors of the dish, but it wasn't warm (again, maybe from it being their first day of brunch). FYI portion size is on the smaller side. - Chilaquiles verdes: although tasty, my partner wished it had more salsa and more spice. They ended up bringing a different orange salsa which definitely helped. Value: prices were mid-range - for Mexican breakfast/brunch, it's not the cheapest but also not too expensive. Overall, we still had an enjoyable meal with great service. I would return, but maybe after giving them some more time to nail out all the details and find their groove.

Food is okay, nothing I would ever go back for. Margaritas were good expect it took 25 minutes to get a frozen margarita which is absurd! The service was awful! I had called a month prior to book for a large party that way the restaurant could accommodate but they lack efficiency and service. I asked for water 5 times and I wish I was lying and it wasn't until I asked for the manager that they brought water. Don't waste your money here it's not worth it.

Valentine's Day 4 course meal
Brooke D.

Me and my boyfriend came here for a Valentine's Day dinner. Bocado had a four course pre set dinner menu which was lovely. When we walked in we were both handed a glass of champagne which was a nice touch. This spot has only been open for a month so I was very impressed with how they managed to pull off a holiday meal. The food was all great! I have no complaints there. The restaurants decor was very nice, I wish some of the lights were dimmed a bit more to really create an even more romantic atmosphere but that's me being super critical. I am excited to see how this spot does as they continue to get more experience!

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5.

I see that it has been more than 10 years since my last review so it is time for an update…read more We went here for a late lunch after attending an event at the American Airlines Center. There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.

Original review: I really wanted to love this place, and I was so close to doing so. The good: the ambiance was cute and fun. Loved the decorations, the bar is big and takes up a lot of the area where some of the tables are making it a little crowded but that's not a big deal. They had a performer there that night and that was cool. The item we were so excited to try was the biggest disappointment, the chicharon! It looked so good but it was so bland and chewy. We thought it might have been undercooked and ordered another second and asked them to cook it longer but alas it was like chewing on nothing. And that is the common denominator with all the food here. It was so bland. The only item I enjoyed was the jalapeño and cheese sausage. The salsa was bland. The meats were bland. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The drink in the bowl was good. But other than that the meal was a disappointment which is truly sad because we were looking forward to the meal, and it was pricey too. Had the food been good we wouldn't have been bothered by the price. We needed some flavor that day.
