    One of my top mexican restaurants in dallas! I recommend the enchiladas and mexican coke!

    Guiso de puerco
    Raul M.

    I was craving guiso de puerco and this was one of the few places that popped up on imaps. It was a little on the salty side so that was disappointing. Although very few places get it right, it's always a hit or miss with this dish at any restaurant. Tortillas were handmade they give you a sampler tortilla with your chips and salsa. Service was good and fast! I was seated right away and served my food within 5 minutes of ordering. Food was hot and beer was cold! Waitresses are wearing Mexican dresses which adds to the Mexican theme inside. Place was packed on Saturday around 3pm. I will stop by and try other items on the menu if I'm ever in the area.

    Pazole

    I haven't been here in 7-10 years and maybe I know better food now. Idk. I did a michelada with a topo Chico because I love micheladas. This was decent. I won't lie. The whole cup was almost full of just mix. The chips have got to be out of a cheap bag! Worst chips in an authentic Mexican restaurant!!!!!!! Like seriously change this asap! Salsas we're good. I love when they give u a warmed up salsa as an option. I ordered pazole as this is what I used to come here for. Now I love a green pazole but most places are red. I give this a 3. No taste and idk how it doesn't have taste but thank goodness I could put the cabbage and onions in. The corn tortillas were good dipped in the salsa by the way. Now where I want to try the Chile relano idk if I'll ever come back. But I am super picky with my Mexican food. And no I'm not a Tex mex gal!

    I'm not sure why people like the food here. I've been two times and it's not very good. For instance today I ordered fajita nachos. Take a look at the pic of my nachos. What do you see? Do you see dog shit? Well I did and left that plate right where it was. Well that was until my friend was eating and I was hungry. So I tried it and guess what it tasted like? Dog Poop!! I immediately asked for my check and got the heck out of dodge!!

    Tortilla with butter and Agua de Horchata.

    I don't go as often like I used too. Went today and order lengua in salsa and it was delicious. The agua of horchata was also good and the tortillas just made are great.

    Flautas

    Cuquita's is a place that I had passed by for so long and always wanted to try. I've been there twice now and feel like I know enough to review them. I usually judge a good Mexican restaurant by their rice and beans, the rice and beans are sub-par here however I gave it a 4 star review because everything else is so good. The first time I ordered a chicken quesadilla and a bowl of menudo. Both were delicious. The 2nd time I ordered flautas, also delicious. The chips and salsa are good and their waitresses are nice. The place gets packed so that's a good sign and they are very authentic! Overall I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some good Mexican food.

    Quesadillas, wow delicious!!!!

And you don't have to worry as much about being too loud or disturbing the tables without kids. They give crayons with the menu. The kids menu is great. Beyond that, the margaritas are delicious. I highly recommend the squash blossom quesadillas. Everything I have ordered here is great. The service is also very good. Sometimes, I wonder why I ever go anywhere else. This place checks all the boxes for a large family with small kids.

    Here is another place I would have sworn that I had reviewed before, yet I got a reminder from Yelp…read moreto review them, so I double-checked and low and behold there was no review there from Kurt V,, so here it is... I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. 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!

    El Carlos Elegante was in fact elegante!…read more It was everything I wanted in a Michelin recommendation restaurant. I really wanted to try something different and fun, so we ended up getting the elegante experience for $99 per person. I was not disappointed at all with this experience and it offered a ton of great food options. I was so full at the end of this experience, however, every single food item I tried was great and kept me wanting more. To highlight a couple of the items given on that "secret" experience was the tamales, the wagyu steak and the green sauce that came with it, and the sponge cake at the end was a great finisher. I really did enjoy the entire experience of the restaurant and the food. The entire staff was on top of their game and made sure that we had a great time. For me this restaurant was a 9 out a 10. There's no doubt in my mind that I will be back and probably take people here too.

We had actually booked…read morea reservation at another Doce Mesas location, but I did't know there was another location. So thinking we showed up for our reservation, this location says they don't take reservations. They stop at is anyway, which was nice. We were seated on the porch, and here's where things got weird. We ordered our drinks and when the drinks were delivered, we said we were ready to order, and the waitress, hesitated and then said she would be back. Kinda strange, but eventually we had our order taken. I ordered a mango agua fresca which was pretty good. The complementary chips and salsas were also really good. For an entree I had the Tempura Fried Fish Tacos. These were very good and the coleslaw served with them was very good- crunch and bright. Overall the food here is pretty solid. The service was a bit off, but not a deal breaker, just be prepared to wait a while to have your order taken.

I would like to mention that they nickel and dime you pretty hard. There's a split plate fee and they voluntarily brought out veggies for my GF friends when they inquired if they could eat the chips, but they ended up charging us $6 for it. Not the end of the world, but good to note!
