the soft serve margarita was superb!! it deserves the 3 stars, but the overall service was kind of wonky. everyone's food took so long to come out, that we got everything to go.. i was the only one with a plate of nachos the entire time we were there. it's a beautiful restaurant, i just hope they improve on their flow of service! read more

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

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

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

Was lead here by the viral soft serve margaritas! And they were just okay! Food was a bit bland and not much to rave about! I mean it's another tex mex spot in DFW! Nothing special so please don't set your expectations high like I did!! The staff is super friendly and welcoming I loved that! Everyone seemed to be enjoying helping and serving! Menu is basic they don't offer much and food was bland! 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. The host was not super helpful but our waitress was great. Good happy hour spot. read more

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

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

Had to come back for the full size soft serve margarita! It was so delicious and not strong at all. It went so well with the little boba topped on it! The chips and queso and salsa were the perfect little snack to go on the side as well. I will say this, since we didn't order an actual meal with it I felt like the service was kind of neglectful compared to all the other tables who did order meals. Just because we only ordered a margarita and some queso doesn't make us any less of a customer than anyone else. UGH!!! But the margarita was definitely a 10/10 read more

"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

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

Absolutely horrible service, some of the worst i have ever received. Restaurant has great potential and great atmosphere but the service and time it takes to get your order even on the slowest of nights completely ruins any potential this restaurant may or may not have. Dont eat here unless you have 3.5 hours of your night to waste. read more

This was our maiden voyage to Joe Leo. Everything was so good. The food was delicious and the service by 0dalys (chica bonita) was impeccable. We will definitely be back soon. This is a great eat spot and definitely "FOF-Approved"! 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. Kyle's favorite and jumbo shrimp are FANTASTIC. I will say the service was a bit slow and drinks were very slow but overall can't wait to come back. Great outdoor area that's dog friendly too! 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

This is my third time here and after each time I say I will never come back. The service is very slow... like VERY slow. Food is not good, drinks are not good, which is a shame bc the patio is great. Came to try the soft serve deal bc of TikTok. Won't ever come back. :( 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

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

Really horrible experience tonight! Probably the worst service and management experience I've ever seen. We visited on cinco de mayo and were prepared for long waits and a full house and stuck out our 3 hour wait comfortably upstairs at the bar. Once we were seated our service was truly laughable. Again we knew it was going to be a busy night!! We were seated at 8:45 ish and saw our server maybe 3 times between that and 10:30 after they closed and we were the last table left. ALL of our food was wrong and every employee that spoke to us (after we flagged them down) had an attitude about it. It was almost 10pm (the time they close) when I someone came to talk to us because they NEVER BROUGH OUT A PLAT!!!! Someone's food was never made or brought out after being there for almost 4 hours it was really disappointing how they handled it. When they brought our checks (again after we had to flag someone down) ALL of the checks were wrong and the manager was pretty snappy about it. After she fixed them it took again FOREVER to get them back. We again had to flag them down (we were the only people left at the restaurant). Not one apology but a bunch of attitude. Again we knew it was going to be packed we weren't expecting much but WOW was that actually so incredibly unprofessional and disappointing. 2 stars bc the soft serve marg was great once we finally got them read more

The atmosphere really carried here. The outside area was very nice. I had the shrimp tacos. They tasted and looked a little unappetizing especially given the price point. My partner didn't get her chicken in the quesadilla they ordered. Our server wasn't really hospitable. The margs and the chips and salsa were very good! 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

Karen was great! Good food, fun place, got the chicken enchiladas and steak fajitas - definitely coming here again!!

A can't get busy time to time. Mostly, the parking is horrible in the garage. Going and you are seated right away, they do bring out chips and salsa and drinks for margarita are phenomenal . Usually best bet it's just to drink and eat chips. I would say this is the best part to sit down and have a good meal. My recommendation goes somewhere else. Food is not fantastic, but is not that great. A little bit more sodium is in the food higher intake, you can't change into what you need, but it's not the best movement and their end. There for sure, gluten-free , however, for vegan or dairy free person, this is definitely not the spot to come read more

UPDATE: new menu revamp. This place sucks now. None of the same bartenders are servers here anymore. Won't get a dime of my money. They don't even have the same happy hour. What a joke read more

Tonight was about a happy hour and catch-up. There was indoor and outdoor seating (with fans). We timed it perfectly. A couple of margs, with jalapeño shooters (as fun as it sounds!), some tasty bites and we were on our way. Soon, there was live music (available on the weekends). Of course, they began their set with John Mayer. Server was efficient. She ensured food arrived quickly. It was delicious. We'll be back for another round. There's outdoor and garage parking. Cheers! read more

Food is terrible! Service good the only thing. NO MASS!! Don't go. Too expensive for bad food.

Good food. Nachos appetizer were great. Guac was great. Drinks were okay, nothing special. Service was pretty good.

Isai did a great job! Love this place! Beef fajitas are the way to go! 1234567890123455

This place is great. We had to go because of their claim of the best fajitas in the metroplex. I am not sure if they are truly the best (I've seen no side-by-side comparisons), but they are really good. What's nice is that you get all of the side accoutrements that you would expect with fajitas without having to ask for anything special. The beef was very tender and cooked to about medium temperature. Some stellar standouts include the shrimp brochette, which are served as an appetizer or an add-on with the fajitas. Get them as an appetizer. There are four on the plate, and they come with the best Mexican rice that I have ever had. The pictures of the tacos looked great on Yelp, so I asked our server to bring us one on the side. It did not disappoint! 10 inches long and stuffed with delicious goodness. The chips and salsa are a 10/10. Some may think the salsa is a little too spicy, and it definitely has some bite compared to most. However, I thought it was near perfection. There are some complaints about the cocktails and the pricing, however, every drink that we sampled was delicious and reasonable given the quality of liquor provided. We can certainly try happy hour, but I found none of the cocktail prices offensive. It was basically what I expect to pay at an upscale Tex-Mex restaurant. In a town with a sea of Tex-Mex options, Joe Leo stands out. We will be back. read more

We had a party of 9, drinks and food were very good and the patio atmosphere was awesome. There were moments when we had a long wait before getting checked on by waitress or to request more items but we'll enjoy another office dinner there again. read more

They used to have the BEST happy hour in Dallas. Now it's completely outrageous- hardly a happy hour at all and dead on a Thursday night. Sadly, we used to love coming here and it's just not really worth it anymore. There are too many other good options around. read more

Beautiful place to grab lunch or dinner with friends. The staff were super friendly and helpful with item selections. I ordered the Spicy Mango Margarita (minus the spicy; call me lame). It was a good start to accompany the chips and salsa. It wasn't too sweet which is how I prefer my drinks. Landed on the two taco plate and chose one chicken and one beef fajita taco for me. The tortillas are made fresh there and I was happy about that. The food overall was ok. Not the best, but also not bad. For me since this was a distant drive, I probably won't try this place again. Not because it was bad, but it was ok and I can find places local to me that taste as good. Maybe I tried the wrong menu item? The rice and beans weren't my favorite which was a downer. If someone invited me here I would go back and try something different. I just wouldn't personally pick this place again. The prices were decent. read more
