    Cecina a la Mexicana
    Liz C.

    As others have said, it's a very modest place, but the food is great! Very generous serving of cecina! The rice and beans tasted just right. And you get hand-made tortillas! Help this small business out and pay with cash, if you can. The lady is very sweet and welcoming!

    El trompo de aquí es lo mas parecido al trompo de Monterrey que he probado en Dallas. Trompo meat from here is the closest to the trompo from Monterrey that I've tried in Dallas.

    Onion with a side of tacos trompo was flavorless, buche was okay, and the bistec was not seasoned at all. Green salsa was flavorless and red salsa was spicy, but too salty. The place was dead inside on a Friday afternoon about 1:30pm.

    Loved this place so much I literally went back the next day. First of all the tacos here are so cheap at only $1 each. I went with the tompo and barbacoa tacos which were so good. The green and red sauces that they give you with the tacos compliment it the tacos sooo well. Idk how these tacos are only $1. The horchata here is also one of the best horchatas ive ever had. Can't recommend this place enough as it is easily the best tacos I've had in Dallas so far. Only draw back would be the location is kind of sketchy at night but it's still so worth it. Can't recommend this place enough

    Not in a gas station, but in a strip mall sharing space with a check cashing place, so it's definitely got that "authentic" feel. Tacos are delicious, pupusas are fantastic, and I can't wait to try more of the menu.

    Can't go wrong with $1 tacos!!!! I had the trompo tacos and a cheese pupusa. The trompo tacos were great! I got a nice mix of juicy meat along with bits of the seared outer layer. The pupusa was ok. The salsa for the pupusa had more flavor than the pupusa. The salsa for the tacos was so-so. They serve creamy salsa with the tacos. I'm not big on it bc sometimes it has that funky after taste (could be that it wasn't fresh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Overall it was a nice experience. The place was clean and the waitstaff was really nice. I'll be there again for the $1 tacos.

    This is definitely my new favorite taco spot in Dallas. First off the tacos are $1, yes you read that right a freaking dollar! My wallet is already screaming hallelujah. They have a wide range of meats to choose from to put in your tacos and gorditas. I personally recommend the pastor and barbacoa they are super delish. They also serve pupusas which is kind of refreshing for an authentic Mexican joint. The owner is very nice and informative when is comes to describing the food. This place is definitely a diamond in the rough but I'd say It's a must try for taco enthusiasts

    Look Tacos Tuesaday is not enough if you love tacos like i do. This place got $1 tacos. Don't let the price put you off and realize that at any moment this will change. Take advantage of the tacos splendour! Outstanding barbacoa and carnitas tacos. Comes with grilled onions and a pepper . It is not complicated food but so flippin good. I think they make their own hot sauces. One of these stars is just for that. Their tacos sauces are that good. The green is mild and the red burns exactly the way you want it. Clean and great service. The awesome guy who works their will explain anything you dont understand.

    These are hands down the best tacos in Dallas and they are only $1! The trompo meat is amazing and I could drink the salsa verde on its own it is so good. Not to mention the have delicious pupusas and gringas. It's cash only so come prepared to eat your weight in these cheap tasty tacos.

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5.

This queso is probably the best I've ever had. BTW it is a LIL spicy but I can let that slide. Another great appetizer option would be the Nachos Al Carbon with wagyu. Super good too & honestly you can even order it for just one person as a main dish-- the serving size is big enough. BUT THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW AT LAS PALMAS ARE THE WAGYU FAJITAS!!! Incredible. Comes with flour or corn tortillas, beans, rice, and obviously the works: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce. You know the vibes. Speaking of vibes, they're always there at Las Palmas.

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.

Original review: I really wanted to love this place, and I was so close to doing so. The good: the ambiance was cute and fun. Loved the decorations, the bar is big and takes up a lot of the area where some of the tables are making it a little crowded but that's not a big deal. They had a performer there that night and that was cool. The item we were so excited to try was the biggest disappointment, the chicharon! It looked so good but it was so bland and chewy. We thought it might have been undercooked and ordered another second and asked them to cook it longer but alas it was like chewing on nothing. And that is the common denominator with all the food here. It was so bland. The only item I enjoyed was the jalapeño and cheese sausage. The salsa was bland. The meats were bland. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The drink in the bowl was good. But other than that the meal was a disappointment which is truly sad because we were looking forward to the meal, and it was pricey too. Had the food been good we wouldn't have been bothered by the price. We needed some flavor that day.
