    Chilaquiles
    Winta E.

    This place has the best chilaquiles in the city! The service is good and the restaurant is clean and bright. The only reason why I did not give five stars is due to the parking situation. It's valet only and the lot is directly infront of the restaurant and it's an extremely small lot which defeats the purpose of valet.

    I love looking for places to eat when we are in town for work! I came across El Encanto and it truly was the pan dulce and cafe de olla that sold me on the reason our group go here! The interior is beautiful. It's clean and it's give exactly the aesthetic that they promote....Mexico City. The service was great, so hospitable. Like you were enjoying a meal in their home. They had an outdoor area which looked very green and beautiful...the Dallas heat and humidity prevented us from even trying to go out there and enjoy it!! The food was delicious! The pan dulce, the cafe de olla hit the spot just like I was hoping it would! The chorizo torta was perfect...the bread was so soft!! We all enjoyed our meals. It's not a large place for groups unless they move tables together. The parking is interesting. Their own lot has about 6 spots, so when you pull in there is a valet guy that takes your car and parks it somewhere else. We got there in good time because when we were leaving there was a line of cars waiting to get in! I would still go back...breakfast or even dinner!

    Came here for brunch on a Saturday around noonish and was told the wait would be 1 hr 15 min for a table of 4. We decided to wait since we made the drive up to come and actually got our table in 30 min.. the size of the restaurant isn't good for big groups so max I would say would be 6 ppl if u are planning on coming here, unless u split up. Parking is terrible here, they recommend their complementary valet. The food we had was really good. I had the green chilaquiles and a cafe de olla (a little sweeter than the one I'm use to in Mexico) they have fresh Mexican bread they offer as well. The green chilaquiles had a kick, which cleaned my sinuses but they were delicious. Had an order of their pancakes, which were also good. Our food did take a minute to come out but overall it was a good experience. They do have some outside seating. I would come back but maybe during the week.

    I've driven past this restaurant and been intrigued for some time. Unfortunately, their hours are somewhat limited so that had to wait. However, I could tell by the always full parking lot and obvious wait outside that I had good instincts. When my wife and I finally had a free Saturday morning, we jumped at the chance to try it. Know that parking is limited, and while they have a valet to attempt to manage it, it was so busy when we arrived that we just parked around the corner and walked in. True to form, there was a wait (pro tip: use Yelp! to jump in the queue ahead of time), but it was managed well, and the $5 mimosas (featuring FRESH SQUEEZED orange juice) helped pass the time. To our eye, this place is less Tex Mex than CDMX inspired, and I know that matters to some people. When we were seated and I glanced around the room to see that we were the only gringos, my anticipation arose and I told my wife that I couldn't wait to Columbus the hell out of this place. From service to food, it did not disappoint in any way. My chilaquiles with shredded chicken were served atop a crispy corn tortilla (that somehow stayed crispy until the last bite) with the most flavorful sauce. While I like spice, I opted for the milder "red" sauce. I'll go hotter next time with the "green" sauce. My wife's chorizo egg sandwich was similarly epic-the eggs cooked perfectly, the avocado just right, and the chorizo lively but not punishing. TLDR: great, friendly service with excellent food. Go now-you won't regret it!

    I can't say enough great things about this place, everytime i come, the service is amazing, the food is delicious. I feel like I've stepped in Mexico City everytime i come here. To me, it's hard to find a good chilaquiles plate in dfw but this place does it AMAZING. It's a longer wait most times but it's so worth it.

    Almost an hour wait on a Saturday at noon but I think that was mostly bc of rain making the back patio unusable. The menu is limited but whatever they do have is good quality and portion. Very small space so probably not a great idea for a part of more than 6.

    I and my friend were looking for a nice little brunch spot and I came across this one on TikTok. Sometimes I'm wary of suggestions on TT, but after some digging, found that this is was a beloved spot. So we drove over early on the weekend to try it out. It's an unassuming small storefront, with valet parking available up front.The inside is very cute and cozy, with outdoor seating. The decor is very reminiscent of CDMX. We got: - pan dulce: 10/10, not cloyingly sweet, soft, and tasted freshly baked - chilaquiles: 15/10, spicy, well flavored - mimosas: 11/10 affordable and strong - cafe de olla: 12/10 coffee with brown sugar + cinnamon notes in a clay pot. Literally life changing - huevos al gusto: my friend got this, and said it was very good. - iced latte: my friend also got this. She said she doesn't drink coffee often but thought this was also well done. Bookmarked for my next visit. Can't wait to come back.

    Best chilaquiles in Dallas. Yes, you'll have to wait to be seated, but it's worth it. The service, coffee, conchas, and food are excellent. The tables and restaurant are always clean, and I love the music they play

    It was so delicious I will come back again

    There is a sentence on CBD Provisions' Instagram that I want to read to you because it is doing a…read morelot of work in very few words. "A brasserie in boots." That's it. That's the whole thing. French discipline, Texas spirit, six syllables, no further explanation offered or required, and if you do not immediately understand exactly what that means the moment you walk into The Joule on Main Street then I do not know what to tell you except that the rosemary tallow fries are going to clarify things very quickly. CBD Provisions opened in 2013 as the Joule Hotel's in-house restaurant, became famous for a crispy pig's head carnitas that required you to pull strips of meat off an actual half pig's head at the table and tuck them into tortillas, which is a dish so committed to its own bit that it belongs in a museum, and then closed in July 2025 for a months-long renovation that brought in new culinary director Sezer Deniz. Deniz trained under Chef Jean Paul Naquin at the Institut Paul Bocuse in Lyon, France. He has twenty-plus years in Michelin-starred kitchens including Alinea in Chicago. He is now making breakfast tacos inside a hotel in downtown Dallas and I want to be very clear that this is a promotion. The room has exposed brick and wood floors and steel beams and mosaic tile and antique mirrors and railcar booth seating and a center banquette and stone tabletops, all of which sounds like it should be competing with itself but instead produces the specific feeling of a place that has been here long enough to know what it is. I sat at the bar, which is the correct place to sit, and ordered the short rib corn cake stack, which is braised short rib and avocado and two poached eggs and a poblano hollandaise and which arrives looking like the cover of a cookbook that does not exist but absolutely should. The poblano hollandaise is the detail I keep returning to. Not regular hollandaise. Poblano hollandaise. Someone in that kitchen made a decision to take a classical French sauce with two centuries of culinary tradition behind it and introduce it to a pepper from Puebla, Mexico, and what resulted is something that makes you look at regular hollandaise and think, you had potential, you just never reached it. I ate the entire thing and then contemplated ordering another one and then did not because I am a person with limits, technically. The CBD Provisions burger is a double smash with American cheese and grilled onion and house pickles and something called fancy sauce, which is a name I respect enormously because it is not pretending to be anything other than exactly what it is. It comes with rosemary tallow fries, which are the reason I will order this burger every time I come here for the rest of my life. Rosemary. Tallow. Fries. Three words that in combination produce something that should be legally classified as a controlled substance. French in method, Texan in manner. Boots and a brasserie. The Joule has been on Main Street for years and CBD Provisions has been feeding people inside it for over a decade, new chef and new tile floors notwithstanding, and it has figured out the thing that most hotel restaurants never figure out, which is that the goal is not to remind you that you are eating in a hotel. The goal is to make you forget entirely. I forgot entirely. The tallow fries helped.
