I'll always be a fan of the red sauce but the green was a good alternative if you don't do spicy. Ordered the egg and cheese arepa. Consistently delish! Service was outstanding. My glass was never empty and they were super polite. They are a true Latin American culture place so just don't be in a hurry. The restaurant itself is so quaint. Great selection of tables for small or large parties. Good combo of cushions or chairs. Check this place out if you are off of oak lawn!

However, disappointing that at the end when paying by card, they did not allow us to see an itemized receipt, and the bill was higher than expected. After reading more reviews about this place, seems like this is common occurence unfortunately. Also, they INCLUDED TIP, which was not super apparent, and our party was less than 6 so unsure why a tip was included initially. Otherwise, the food was good and filling. The strawberry smoothie was not the best though, so would not get that again. the sweet plantains were great though. Although the food was good, I would not return because of the deceiving way that add a tip and do not allow customers to see itemized receipts.

For the Honduran community, by Hondurans. Thats the best way I can express how I feel about the…read morefood and interior of the place. Saturday at 5PM, it was perhaps too early for any type of dinner rush, cause I was the only person there. The staff did not speak ANY english. That scary moment when you say hello, and the other person stares with no expression. Luckily I could say just enough Spanish to navigate and order everything I wanted without a problem. They seemed to have a smaller menu compared to what Ive seen posted from other people. I only saw breakfast and lunch (in espanol) so maybe I have to come back at a later time for dinner? The interior is not a dump, but its not chic, modern, or inviting either. The best way I can describe it is the type of place you'd see within a courtyard of a mexican bazaar. They blast the music like its a nightclub. I recommend you stay away from the left side of the restaurant if thats going to bothr you. They serve everything on styrafoam plates and plastic cutlerry The area looked clean enough, so theres no complaints on cleanliness. I ordered a baleada mixta, as well as the chuleta plate (pork chop cutlet). The baleada is simple, cheap, fairly big, and cozy like a homemade meal. Their tortillas are legit made in house, because theres no weird starchiness or stiffness in the dough. The ingredients are beans, cheese, eggs, and creama, but damn was it delicious! The cheese they use (im guessing queso fresco) had a lovely tang that gave the meal an extra dimension. I couldnt stop eating this! The chuleta plate felt like I was at a cookout. A seasoned pork chop, served with a cabbage salad, beans, and more plantains than I could eat in one sitting! The chuleta was not super moist, but every bite was well seasoned. I'd say eat the pork chop sooner than later as its not as tender as time progresses. The chimol (similar to pico de gallo) was a nice addition on top. The plaintains are baked? and feel like french fries! The beans were delicious with whatever lard or fat they add to it. The cabbage salad is fine, but I do like the sauce they add, which reminds me of 1000 islands dressing, minus the relish. Overall, I was pleased with my meal here. Ive never had legit Honduran food, so I look forward to having it again!

Overall: the best baleadas I've had in DFW…read more Detailed: this review is essentially only for the baleadas from Catrachito - because that's what I've had there and that's what I think is amazing about it. I've eaten at Catrachito maybe two dozen times, and each time I've eaten their baleadas (with eggs in them). They are HUGE and cheap (around $2 each, where each one literally weighs like 0.5+ lbs). They are so savory and filling. I have tried many Honduran restaurants in the metroplex, and this is by far the best ones I've tried among them all. The location of Catrachito is located right by Target, it might be hard to miss the entrance based on its location and proximity to the street. It's never been too busy there, and ordering a baleada by phone gets prepared in less than 15 minutes. The inside of the restaurant is not very impressive, but that's okay because baleadas are great good to take on the go or to take home.

I see that it has been more than 10 years since my last review so it is time for an update…read more We went here for a late lunch after attending an event at the American Airlines Center. There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.

TL;DR: A clean, friendly sports bar with actual food and drink specials, secret EDM/tequila…read morespeakeasy in the back, and parking that will test your skills and patience. 10/10 would risk it again. Take a seat, I've got a story to tell: I have no idea how this place isn't already swarming with people wearing vintage Cowboys jerseys and arguing about brisket. It's like someone said, "What if we made a chill, good-looking sports bar with great food, live music, and a tequila dungeon rave in the back?" and then actually did it. Let's start with location: It's in the Design District, nestled between a UPS store and some bougie eateries that serve things like "deconstructed nachos" This place? No pretense. Just vibes. The front is a cool, unassuming sports bar with TVs, a solid beer selection, and food that's actually better than it needs to be. I'm not saying the burger cured my seasonal depression, but I did smile with my whole face after the first bite. But wait..there's a twist. Go toward the back and you'll stumble upon a themed bar/speakeasy that opens on weekends only. Think tequila meets house music meets, "how is this even legal?" It's like Narnia, if Narnia served mezcal shots and played Diplo remixes. Pro tips: * Taco Tuesdays: Dollar tacos that don't taste like regret. * Thursday combo: Burger, fries, and a beer for $10. Alexander Hamilton would be proud. * Staff is actually attentive and friendly, no one here is mad that you exist. There's a gentleman that is deaf, be nice, he's super cool! The only con? The parking situation is more stressful than a group project in college. Street parking is your best bet, but if you have to use the lot, prepare to reenact a 37-point turn while strangers silently judge you. If you're looking for a place where you can watch the game, make a new bar friend, and maybe end the night dancing in a surprise tequila lounge, this is your spot. Just don't tell too many people. I like being able to get a table. ;P Follow their Instagram for their specials and updates.

I typically go to the Knox/Henderson location, but I recently moved closer to this location and came in tonight to celebrate my friend's birthday. Knowing that Doce Mesas typically does something special for birthdays, we asked our waiter if they did anything to celebrate. He told us that they don't and that we would have needed to bring our own birthday cake. We completely understood, but right after that, we watched two other tables have birthday celebrations where a cake with a candle was brought out and the staff sang to them. As someone who has been coming to Doce Mesas for years, it was honestly just disappointing and made us feel a little overlooked, especially since we specifically asked about celebrating my friend's birthday. I've always really enjoyed Doce Mesas, which is why this experience stood out to me.
