    Enchiladas Verdes y Tacos de Asada
    Maira H.

    This place is so good. I ordered the green enchiladas and tried the asada tacos as well and it was pretty good. I haven't found good tacos in the area that I really love and these came in top. The staff were super friendly and the wait on food was pretty quick. Only downside is that it's a small place so if it's busy you might struggle to find a table. Either way it was pretty great.

    Excellent food and great service. We came around 10am and they were serving breakfast and lunch. My husband had breakfast and I had lunch. The food was hot and delicious. Definitely recommend for some authentic Mexican food.

    Sopes plate de carne asada. Meat was a little dry on the crispy dry but overall good flavor. Handmade sopes

    Super delicious and authentic. The chips could be better but the salsa with them was very good. Good service and portions. Price in point. Melón water was not that great tasted watered down. Planning on goin back for the chile relleno for sure!

    Tried four tacos today: 1. Lengua - tasty, best taco of the four 2. Barbacoa - ok 3. Carnitas - ok, a bit bland 4. Al Pastor - skip, too mealy and not very good None of the tortillas (corn or flour) are made onsite. Second visit, and revised rating.

    I've had a lot of Mexican places all over Texas and this must be the most authentic Mexican restaurant I've ever been in, it was completely FANTASTIC!!! I had the Enchiladas Verdes $8.99 my wife had the taco plate $6.99 and they were both outstanding. I highly recommend trying this place out

    New to Dallas, barber recommended I try this place out for authentic Mexican food. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! All of the servers were beyond kind. The menu is self explanatory, not overwhelming like some places. Couldn't choose so i ordered tacos and pozole. FLAVORFUL and the meat just melted in your mouth, the Corn tortillas are incomparable!!!! I've never wanted to eat corn tortillas more in my life. I will be bringing every visitor here to enjoy this Mexican food paradise.

    AN OAK CLIFF GEM - eat here NOW!! This place had been on my radar for a while, but I normally do not find myself in Oak Cliff, and so it was always a place I wanted to go to - until today :) This is a steadily busy but not crushed place on the weekends, full of locals and families slurping big bowls of menudo and Mexican breakfasts. Your meal starts with a basket of fresh corn tortilla chips served with an amazing cooked salsa ranchera that is absolutely delicious! I had to restrain myself with the chips so I didn't fill up before my menudo arrived! So let's talk about that menudo - OMG it was awesome!! Tripe was tender and plentiful, cooked slowly in a delicious broth studded with hominy and spices. I added a squeeze of lime, onions, cilantro, and chopped fresh jalapeños to mine to make it just perfect!! There's a reason 8 out of the 10 tables that were occupied when I came here were eating it. I took the hint and thank God I did. I also like to try the lengua and carne al pastor tacos at new places as I have found that those are bellweathers. The lengua taco at El Pueblo are served as huge chunks of perfectly tender lengua in fresh corn tortillas - simple, unadorned, DELICIOUS. And the carne al pastor is similarly served: Large tender chunks of pork cooked in a savoury and sweet spice blend hit the spot and will be my new crave. 5 authentic stars

    Having my first meal in Dallas and had to try the Mexican food. They served chips and salsa right away and the salsa like a ranchero sauce. The salsa was flavorful and just enough heat. I ordered the picadillo gorditas. They tasted a little different than what I'm used to in San Antonio, but I liked them. I can't put my finger on what the different taste is, but it's good. The rice was fine. The beans and the lettuce were served with that Spanish, white crumbly cheese and that added to the meal. The chili relleno tasted a little greasy. The flour tortillas were homemade I'd eat here again.

    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. Even though we didn't have one, they were still able to accommodate our group which we really appreciated. The service was amazing...everyone was so polite, attentive, and fast. 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. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

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.
