Joe Leo's is a relaxing contemporary Tex-Mex spot just off Fitzhugh Avenue. I stopped by on a weekday afternoon for cocktails and tacos, and it made for a great casual late lunch. The restaurant features a large shaded patio, a full bar, and a spacious, comfortable dining room. I ordered the crispy taco combo, which came with two tacos, a cheese enchilada, and all the traditional sides. The service was prompt, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. The standout for me was the crispy beef tacos, they were delicious and generously filled. I'll definitely be back for more. read more

Stopped here for a day date prior to getting some ice cream. I'd been once before for an event & decided to run it back. We made it right at 3pm and the menu said that brunch ends at 3 but they changed it to 2. I ordered a frozen mimosa & it still rang up as $5. Woohoo!! We both ordered Kyle's favorite & it was very good and a decent portion for the price! The restaurant was clean and spacious. & the waitress was very attentive. i'd go back and try something else! read more

The soft serve margarita is how we ended up at Joe's. Pineapple was the only flavor which was surprising. It was extremely sweet. We also shared some fajitas. The steak was good, the flour tortillas were hard around the edges. Wasn't expecting that but, overall, the taste was good. The shrimp brochette was really good, as well. We sat on the patio and the flies tried to run us off. We were near done when a couple sat at another table and had a fly fan. We weren't made aware by our waiter that it was an option. read more

I came here specifically to try the margarita soft serve. It was pretty good but would like to taste more alcohol. I couldn't tell if any was in it, had to ask the bartender. Maybe next time I'll add a shot! read more

Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex - Margarita soft serve - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've been here multiple times and they never disappoint!! Their new seasonal Pineapple Soft Serve Margarita was delicious! Nothing compared to their original flavor but it was definitely refreshing for the summer feel. Their steak quesadillas are always amazing! I've gotten them every single time I've gone. This time though I feel like we were slightly neglected by our waiter. He never really came by and when we were ready for the check my friends and I were just sitting there like lost kids waiting for literally anyone to walk by. But I would still continue to come in the future. It's just too good not to! read more

Joe Leo has some of the best crispy tacos! They're definitely one of my favorites and always hit the spot. They also have a really solid happy hour, especially with the $7 margaritas. Service was great and made for an overall enjoyable experience. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving Tex-Mex! read more

Went for the soft serve margarita, stayed for the food. The margarita was perfectly tart and the addition of boba was perfect. The outdoor patio was nice as well to sit out and eat. The service was fantastic as it got a bit too hot outside and we were quickly moved indoors. I got Kyle's favorite and it was a server recommendation and it did not fail. Great service, great drinks and great ambiance overall! read more

We arrived for a Mother's Day reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter, Chris, took our drink orders and explained how the viral soft serve margaritas were prepared, although he could not tell me what type of tequila was used in the mix. Fresh chips and salsa came out quickly and that was unfortunately the highlight of the experience. Things went downhill fast after that. One member of our party ordered a Coke and did not realize it was a canned drink instead of fountain soda. He politely declined it without even touching the can. Chris seemed irritated by that interaction and disappeared for at least 15 minutes while continuing to help nearby tables. When we finally asked if he could take our order, he appeared visibly annoyed and responded with "do you want another server." We said yes and he sarcastically replied, "great, I really appreciate that," before walking away. No other server ever came to the table. At that point, our party no longer felt comfortable staying. We went to the hostess stand, offered payment for our drinks, and left. The manager did apologize for the terrible service, but the damage was already done. We took our party of 8 somewhere else and ended up having a much better Mother's Day experience. Sadly, we were left feeling very unwelcome here, and it certainly came across as intentional. read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon there was a group of 18 of us. We were able to get seated right away, but they did let us know. it would be all on one check could not separate. Service was fast was able to order drinks and appetizer came out fast. Food took a minute just because there were so many of us, but there were a lot of flies inside because they had the doors open to the patio but a fly did get into our family plate and they remade it. Food was good. Queso was good, the elote was not good. I give it a three because it was hot. And I don't understand why it had to be on one check. Also parking is limited. May be about 10 spots in front of the restaurant and the rest. You have to go into the parking Garage. read more

This place exceeded my expectations! Came for a birthday party with a group of 17. It was busy but they stayed on top of it. Waitress was patient and did her thang as needed. Food was good! Not like slap yo mamma good but still pretty good. Loved the warm chips. The drinks are what kept this rating high, they were heavy handed on the booze which I appreciate. Check them out! read more

I stopped by and ordered the shrimp fajitas and a soft serve margarita, and both were so good. The shrimp fajitas came out hot, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The food, ambiance, and service was great! The soft serve margarita was unlike any margarita I've had before. The creamy margarita paired with the boba and the added passion fruit syrup created the perfect burst of flavors. read more

I came to Joe Leo's twice this month. I love the vibes of this place, it's beautifully decorated and giving Mexican home vibes. Their chips and salsa tastes fresh and delicious. I ordered a frozen Margarita to start and it was delicious. For my meal I had the Jumbo Shrimp Brochette and that was absolutely amazing , the shrimp was flavorful and I loved the taste of their Mexican rice. The service was great as well, waitress and staff were friendly. The manager let us try their Soft Serve Margarita that they were launching, which was the reason we decided to come back the second time. The second time around we ordered the Classic Queso to share and got the soft serve margarita. Their queso is quite flavorful and this soft serve marg is so freaking amazing, tastes sweet and creamy, and topped with yummy Kiwi Boba. If you are looking for great Tex Mex food I recommend this spot 100% read more

Didn't get food but the frozen margaritas were good and the chips and salsa were solid. The soft serve margarita was amazing but tastes more like a margarita flavored ice cream than others that I've had. Food prices are kind of high but servings looked big.

"Joe Leo: Happy Hour Memories... Crushed " Pulled up for Happy Hour, dreaming of my $5 beef nachos... and the place was ghost town quiet. Happy Hour food? GONE. BAD MOVE. The waitress was sweet, but no excuse for $39.49 for: * Six petite nacho chips -- $14.49 * Ground beef + cheese -- $14.49 * Two cans of soda -- $7.50 The ground beef, no beans nacho bites were enjoyable, but they definitely should have stayed $5 or at least been discounted. Taste buds: Wallet: Definitely not worth it for a kid's meal at that price. What was once my go-to spot? Now... a distant memory. That 43-min drive in traffic? Not worth it. #JoeLeo #OverpricedEats #HappyHourGone #NostalgiaLost #FlavorChaserSocialite read more

Came to Joe's for a girls night get together and we had a great time! Our waitress was friendly and helpful with menu questions. We shared the joes queso which was flavorful but not hot (temp) enough, we asked if they could warm it up more and they brought a fresh bowl but it still seemed tepid. I ordered the no 1 dinner which had a soft chicken Tinga taco, Crunchy beef taco and a cheese enchilada with beans and rice. It was really tasty and a good way to try some of the different menu items. I would definitely go back again, good food and a beautiful ambience. read more

Let me tell you where the best Tex mex in dallas is. JOE LEOS! This food is SO GOOD AND SO REASONABLY PRICED! Get the frozen marg with sangria and mimosa.

Great outdoor area that's dog friendly too! read more

Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex - KYLE'S FAVORITE and JUMBO SHRIMP BROCHETTE - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Tonight was our first time at Joe Leo. We were seated in Ricardo E's section (found his name on the receipt) and from the moment he walked up he was so rude. He never mentioned his name, had any small talk, he just rushed us to order. He was visibly annoyed and kept rushing off and gave an attitude to simple questions. I literally asked him if he had ice cream and he gave me attitude. A very nice woman walked over to the table and i let her know about our experience and she immediately tried to make it better for us. She offered discounts and even brought out pancakes. It was so sweet. While our food came out hot, drinks were great, and her coming to the table to try to change our negative experience into a positive, it was still a very uncomfortable setting because Ricardo was rude from start to finish. I know bad days happen, but no one deserves to be treated that way. To the sweet woman who tried to make our experience better, thank you. I appreciate you for all of your efforts and the pancakes were amazing. Thank you for listening. read more

No.1 dinner which includes a big crispy taco, cheese enchilada and chicken tinga taco was very good and the portion is generous. The frozen house margarita was yummy too. Service was quick. We came on a Tuesday evening and there were plenty of seating. My only complaint is it said there were happy hour biteS but the only bite during HH was nachos. Wish they would expand the HH menu. Parking was easy with the garage across or the parking lot right outside. read more

The food was very good. The atmosphere is very good too. Our service was awesome too. My only complaint is that we sat inside and it was very hot indoors. I felt like I was sitting outside in the heat. I understand it's summer time but the inside shouldn't be as hot as the patio. Not sure I will return until temperatures are cooler read more

I made a reservation for a party of 14 more than a week in advance to celebrate two birthdays, my sister's and my daughter's. Even though only 10 people ended up attending, the reservation was still for 14, so I expected the restaurant to have our table prepared when we arrived. Unfortunately, when we got there, there was no table ready for our group. The staff had to scramble to figure out where to seat us, and they even suggested we sit outside. Considering the Texas heat, I didn't think that was a reasonable option. If I had wanted outdoor seating, I would have selected that when I made the reservation. We were eventually seated near the bar at two large round tables pushed together. While this technically accommodated our group, it was not comfortable. The shape of the tables left very little space for plates and drinks, making it difficult for everyone to dine comfortably. The restaurant was also very warm inside. We politely asked if the air conditioning could be adjusted, but we were told they couldn't accommodate that request. We understood and moved on, but it added to the overall discomfort. The biggest issue was the service. Although the restaurant did not appear to be very busy, both the drinks and food took an unusually long time to arrive. One drink took over 20 minutes and wasn't delivered until a later round of drink orders. The food also took much longer than expected. I do want to recognize the positives. The food was delicious, and the drinks were excellent once they finally arrived. Some members of the staff were friendly and courteous, although the level of service was inconsistent. Overall, this was a disappointing experience for what was supposed to be a special celebration. With a reservation made well in advance, I expected the seating to be ready, the service to be more efficient, and the overall experience to better match the restaurant's reputation. While the quality of the food may bring me back someday, I hope the restaurant improves its reservation management and service for larger parties. read more

3.5 stars is probably accurate but I'm rounding up because of a few things for this shared Rustic ownership group Tex Mex concept. Their crispy beef taco was awesome- huge, simple - ground beef, beans and cheese - beautifully crispy. And they are dog friendly- and the soft serve margarita was awesome! My entree, shrimp dish wasn't great and none of the other entrees looked that appetizing. read more

The place has no AC. It was dead on a Dallas weekend for a reason. The food tasted microwaved and the margaritas were mid at best. Definitely skip this place ! read more

Finally stopped by for brunch with my friends and enjoyed the fajitas board, bowls and strong drinks! I also enjoyed the housemade salsas and tortillas. The only improvement could be the queso, as it seemed a little watered down. The staff was awesome! read more

So our usual spot for Trivia was postponed due to World Cup crowds and our team had a hankering to play over here in East Dallas and we stumbled on this location. The pictures online looked nice and getting there was easy. Upon entering, the atmosphere is very bright and well organized inside. Trivia was happening on the patio area and I will have to say it seemed bigger than the inside of the restaurant. Perfect spot for trivia, plenty of fans and misters and it was covered and shady. They even had little "fly fans" on each table. Mya our server was on top of things, took our drink orders. For food, I ordered the combo fajitas and my wife had the wood fired shrimp enchiladas. She said that those were the best she ever had! My fajitas were good, portion a bit smaller than expected, but I still had some leftovers. We did not win trivia, but had a good time and experienced a new place. Our only downfall on this visit, was that we were told that the bar does not stock Crown Royal? Some of us at our table are Crown Royal fans and were shocked to hear. read more

Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex - soft serve margarita with popping boba - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Amazing Food and Even Better Service! Joe Leo's is incredible, and Michael was hands-down the BEST server I've ever met. He was on top of everything--before we even had to ask, he'd be there with refills, more chips, or just checking in to make sure we were all set. He went way above and beyond, even giving us complimentary sopapillas since it was our first time there. Such a great experience! The food was amazing--piping hot, delicious, and we were seated and served super quickly. On top of all that, I accidentally left my purse behind, and the staff ran after me to return it before I even realized it was missing. I can't recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be back! read more

Fun Tex Mex restaurant in central Dallas. Came here for brunch with a friend on a Saturday afternoon and there was lots of seating available. I was greeted and seated immediately. There's complimentary chips and salsa and I ordered the regular queso to start. The chips were made fresh, the salsa was bland. The queso was average, nice to munch on while we talked and looked at the menu. The second batch of chips we got was way to salty, but by that time our food was coming out. For my entree, I enjoyed the chicken verde enchiladas and a coconut ranch water. The enchiladas was very good, the chicken was well seasoned and the really liked the verde sauce. Also, the rice and beans had great flavor. I would definitely stop back in during happy hour. It's a vibrant place, with lots of space and beautiful. I would say it's perfect for a group brunch or date night. read more
