    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!!!!

Could barely hear the person next to me because we were seated next to a party of 10+ people. It may have been best to reserve that area just for them and have us seated elsewhere but no biggie. I was celebrating my birthday here since I've heard great things about the food choices. I ordered shrimp tacos, my family got fajitas and it was pretty decent. Towards the end of dinner, our server was super attentive and brought out a shareable dessert. I believe it was a churro cheesecake which was delicious.

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. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

    The short of it--food was fine, but certainly felt overpriced for what we ate…read more Long of it--Sat outside and it was nice. 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.

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.

From the "one hitters" that wake up your palate to the mezcal-forward cocktails and flame-kissed mains, every dish feels thoughtful and layered.

This is the kind of spot you book for a date night... and end up planning your next visit before dessert hits the table.
