    Shrimp fajitas
    Emily J.

    I am visiting Dallas and went here tonight with my friend. We did have to wait 2 hours for a table on a Friday night, but we walked around and went and a different bar in the meantime. OKAY. This place IS WORTH THE HYPE. Their house salsa transported me to another dimension. The flavors were so complex in the best way. Go here, prepare to wait, but you won't be disappointed by the food. I had delicious shrimp- also complex flavor, in the best way!

    Chicken fajitas

    Went to Las Palmas for dinner around 6pm and we were able to get a table for 3 with no wait, which was really nice considering it's a little bit of a nicer restaurant! We were seated upstairs, which was quieter and had a nice atmosphere. It was pretty chilly up there, but to be fair, the rest of my family was totally fine and I was wearing a thinner top, so I may just be dramatic lol. Definitely not a big deal, but something to keep in mind if you tend to get cold in restaurants! We started with the queso blanco, which was actually really good. It definitely had a little bit of a kick to it, but I still really liked it. The chips were decent too. I also got a skinny marg with Tajín, which was pretty good and definitely on the stronger side, but still a good margarita! For three people, we shared the chicken fajitas and the #3 combo plate, and the portions were great. We actually had leftovers, which I was impressed by considering we were splitting two entrees between three people. The fajitas came with rice, beans, guac, sour cream, lettuce, and pico. I thought the fajitas were good overall, but the chicken was probably what kept this from being five stars for me. It wasn't quite as juicy or flavorful as some other fajitas I've had and leaned a little dry. Definitely not bad by any means, just nothing that really stood out to me. The combo plate was also good and came with a sour cream enchilada and tamales with beef. I'm honestly not a huge tamale person to begin with, so that may have just been me not ordering according to my own preferences. Overall, the portions were great, the service was really good, and everyone was nice and checked in on us throughout dinner. I really don't have many complaints! I'm going with four stars because everything was good and I'd definitely come back, but nothing food wise completely blew me away.

    Four years later and my thoughts on the dim lighting still stand. The ambiance is romantic and has all the vibes ... but it's too dang dark. Food was pretty good but I've had better fajitas and bacon wrapped jalapeños in cheaper places. Overall, I'm not sure it's as good as it was 4 years ago. And the pricing is on par with restaurants in uptown. But .. I'll have to think about if it's worth it.

    Food: Ordered the House Elotes, Hugo's Plate, as well as Fajita Fiesta (for one). The House Elotes was a nice appetizer to start, with a char, creaminess, and tang in each bite. Interesting that it comes with saltine crackers; tortilla chips turned out to be the better pair for me. Hugo's Plate comes with cheese enchiladas, chili con carne, a picadillo beef crispy taco, and refried beans & rice--it's a hearty dish, to say the least. Overall, it was OK; however, the rice was a bit salty for my taste. The Fajita Fiesta, on the other hand, was the star of the show. Comes out of the kitchen, sizzling on a skillet, and is paired with homemade tortillas, as well as refried beans & rice, cheese, pico, guacamole, sour cream, and bone marrow butter. The medley of meat (shrimp, chicken, steak) were succulent and had a nice flavor to them. Will probably order again in the future. Service: No complaints! We had a reservation (recommended--was busy on a Thursday evening) and were seated immediately upon walking in. Our waiter was friendly and very attentive. Ambiance: Casual. There are two floors to the establishment, with the second a bit moodier and intimate. Parking: Valet and street parking available.

    Flautas - brisket

    My second time at Las Palmas and it did not disappoint! We were there during happy hour and they have discounted drinks and some food items. Skinny marg was yummyyy and very strong. Nacho fries were awesome! Super loaded and only $10 during happy hour and includes your choice of meat. Flautas were delicious, I got the brisket. Enough for two. There is free street parking and also Valet parking.

    Love this place! Every time I come here the service food and ambiance is consistent. Quality of food is delicious & flavorful as well as their drinks. Love their mango margaritas on the rocks. My go to is the brisket enchiladas and chips and dip is always fresh. Queso is quite nice too.

    Okay!!! Las Palmas has officially been added to our work trip dinner rotation!! No reservation...just a walk party of 6 and they had a table for us...as long as we could be out by a certain time...about an hour and a half after we walked in. We were there to eat so if they were going to wine and dine us in that amount of time, we were there for it!! Everything was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks and we are so glad we found this location and made it happen! I was looking forward to dinner here the entire day and it was worth it!! We had the queso blanco...it's got a kick...worth it! My wagyu fajitas were perfectly cooked medium rare and soooo flavorful!! I was my dessert in my pjs back at the hotel...the sopapilla cheesecake and ice cream held up perfectly and was everything I wanted it to be!! It's a dark atmosphere in the bar area, but the vibes were so cool. It wasn't too loud to where people were having to scream to converse...but it was not intimate where you could talk across the table softly with the other person hearing. We are still talking about Las Palmas days later and can't wait until we are back in Dallas to bring more of our group here to enjoy delicious food and great service!!

    I came here for my birthday dinner with a couple of friends and overall had a really great experience. A few important notes though: this place is SUPER loud, especially upstairs, so if you are trying to take your older parents somewhere for a nice dinner where you can actually catch up and have a conversation, this might not be the spot. Also, avoid the upstairs dining room if anyone has mobility issues. The stairs are a little sketchy in that dark space because you basically have to TRUST there is another stair step in front of you even though you can't see it. And a heads up, do not wander into the wrong bathroom upstairs like my husband did because the "men's" and "ladies" signs upstairs are also nearly impossible to read in the dark! But honestly, those are really my only complaints... The service and food were both very good. We had a couple of ordering fumbles. We got the regular queso, and then immediately watched another table get the tableside flaming queso and we were seriously bummed. Like, really bummed. That is definitely what I will be ordering next time. The chips and smoky salsa were excellent!! - and I always appreciate when everyone gets their own little portion of salsa so everyone can double dip without feeling like a heathen. I ordered the wagyu fajitas (the half portion), and it was still easily enough food for two people. I will say the meat was more like a filet mignon texture and less like the flavorful fajita meat I was expecting. My friend's pork fajitas were actually much better and had more flavor. When the manager stopped by to check on us, I had to announce my own birthday because apparently my friends were not going to help me out with that (some friends, huh?). They brought out a complimentary sopapilla cheesecake with a candle, which was a very nice touch. All in all, I loved the place and totally understand the hype. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. There is valet parking, but we found easy parking across the street. I cannot wait to come back and try that flaming queso!

    LOVE this place. God bless the people who came up with Las Palmas. First of all, please never change the queso- it is heaven sent and we always take it to-go (I'm NEVER leaving the rest behind) and it tastes even better the next day. 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. It is always busy but I genuinely don't care and never mind waiting an hour and a half for our table. It's worth it. This place is a confirmed staple in Dallas. Probably come here once a month if not more often. Thank you for great food and good service too- that's hard to come by nowadays. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! This is your sign!

    We came in on our trip to Dallas as this spot was highly recommended by friends. We ordered some dishes and drinks off the happy hour menu and everything was delicious! We ordered the crispy cheesy taco and tamales covered with queso. We ordered one chicken and one beef taco, so we could try each. While I preferred the chicken, my boyfriend preferred the beef, so there's something for everyone. We were blown away by the salsas though. We kept going back and forth about which was our favorite but couldn't decide. Each had a nice spice level and smokiness to them.

    Had such a nice lunch with my family at Las Palmas! This was our second time visiting this location and 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!

    This place has the best fajitas I ever had. I got the mesquite chicken fajitas. The chicken was so juicy & smoky. The bone marrow butter is the reason why it's so good. I wished it came with more than 3 tortillas or at least 4 since I don't put too much meat in my fajitas. I also tried the hickory grilled ribs. It was kinda salty, but the barbecue sauce was ok. The meat was very tender & falls off the bone. The fries that it comes with were alright. There was a little of wait, but I didn't mind since the food was good. Our food did take a while. Our waitress was very attentive & filled our water. There was seating inside & outside on the patio. I was glad that we were sat outside since it was a beautiful day today. Besides inside was kinda dark. Overall, the food is a little pricey, but totally worth it. A must are their fajitas.

    Chicken Flautas, Goose in the Garden
    Paige B.

    My go-to spot if I can get a reservation. This place is always so popular, and for good reason. I went with my girlfriend on a Thursday evening and we were sat quickly after arriving. The goose in the garden drink is our favorite, however not on the menu any more. Isai and Kenia were helping us out all night and they were amazing! Accommodating, prompt, and great personalities! We love to leave friends with our servers, and it isn't hard to do with a staff such as that. Chips and salsa are always fresh, flavorful, and the perfect amount of spicy. We also had the chicken flautas, and they hit the spot! The Mexican candy shots are the best I've had. We can't wait for our next visit!

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.

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.

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.

The food is pretty good too just nothing I haven't had before honestly. Still really cute place that I would recommend to people! They have a limited menu so be aware of that, but what they have they do it well. Chicken Fajitas: Doesn't come out smoking hot which I would've wanted but it had great flavor. It was boujee fajitas for sure lol. A bit spicy but I enjoyed that. 8/10 Tacos: a little dry but again had great flavor. 8/10 Queso; tasty but didn't come out super hot, it was kind of clumpy. 6/10 Horchata: omg so good must get 10/10

    I just absolutely loved the vibes of this place! It is such a unique and fun restaurant. So perfect…read morefor an intimate date night or girl dinner. Everyone was so nice and our server gave all the good recommendations. We all really liked our drinks specifically the coco loco and casa verde (sub mezcal for vodka!!!). For one hitters we did the crab cake, surf +turf, and brisket. I personally loved the flavor of the crab cake. For vegetables we got refried lentils and Tijuana caesar. Both were pretty good but the tostadas with the lentils were a little dry/stale. The Caesar also needed more dressing. We all split the el machete and I loved the chicken tinga and cheese in it! One thing you cannot skip is the carne asada. This was everyone's favorite dish as the meat had so much flavor and was cooked perfectly. I will be dreaming about that dish.

    So- wake up early tomorrow, go and steal your mother's silver, hock it and spend the ill gotten…read moregains on the tasting menu at El Carlos Elegante. It's worth every it.

    I've lived in Dallas for ten years, and I've never visited E-bar. I'm from ATX and the drinks…read moreremind me of Baby A's (IYKYK)! They were so cold, strong, and smooth. E-bar might have just won the spot for the best TexMex chile relleno in my book (I was a die hard Chuy's fan before they quit selling them). The beans clearly have the pork grease (yum) and the rice was delicious. Even though the place was packed, we were told it'd be a 30ish minute wait, we were seated in less than 20 minutes. Our server came out quickly, brought us drinks, so attentive! We'll definitely return! What a fun little spot!

    Good food and great vibes! I visited with a group of three to enjoy dinner and watch a soccer game…read more Although it was quite busy, the wait time is very reasonable. The staff and other patrons were all enjoying the game together--there's definitely a good community that comes to this restaurant regularly. As for the food, the portions are GENEROUS. Each guest gets their own dipping bowl of chips and salsa. We shared an appetizer and two meals, and still had plenty of leftovers. I highly recommend the fajita nachos, which come loaded with toppings. Their drinks are also very strong, so plan accordingly! With all the fun and food, I accidentally left my wallet and did not realize until the next day. The staff held the wallet in their lost and found, made sure to ask verifying questions, and asked me to confirm if all my belongings were still in the wallet before leaving. For this exceptional service, food, and vibes, I highly recommend.
