    Beautiful testimony of the owners of the restaurant on their website. God bless!!

    A wonderful night was had by all!! I liked the staff, the ambiance, and the food! I ordered carne asada.... beautifully marinated steak that was so tender that I could pull it apart with my hands. Warm fluffy tortillas. Smooth and savory refried beans. Tasty, creamy, refreshing guacamole. And I had a cheese enchilada so that I didn't miss out on my favorites! Delicious chili con carne sauce was smuthered onto the enchiladas! I had a wonderful time listening to my friends and him I enjoyed the warmth of the crispy tortilla chips and spicy salsa. Just enough heat to make you want more. My husband had steak fajitas which was as delicious as mine! I wanted to save room for dessert, because they have some of my favorites! Fried ice cream is my go to.... but I was so full and so satisfied with my meal that I could not spare an inch!!! Not to mention that I drank 3 glasses of their refreshing ICED TEA, because it was perfect with our savory entrees! Our waitress was so friendly, professional, and lively!!! Clean restrooms too.... again I had 3 glasses of tea and had a 20 minute drive home!!! Bless my heart!!! But seriously, God bless the Martinez family and staff!!

    Second time here and the food was even better than the first time! We had a huge party (maybe 15 of us with 3 kids) and one server who took all our orders and didn't make a mistake. She was kind, joyous and very attentive to our needs despite us being a roudy group. This time around I ordered the carne asada. Marinated grilled flank steak which came with 4 flour tortillas, beans, rice, guac and pico. The steak was extremely flavorful and was definitely grilled. It was delicious and hot! I really appreciate the hot and fresh tortillas. You have to ask for butter if you'd like but they are perfectly fine without it. Anyways service and food were great. Kudos to the team here!

    I visited this Mexican restaurant with a friend on Friday. I had heard great things about this restaurant, but had never visited in the almost 2 years I've lived in Texas and the Mesquite area. We entered the building and I was surprised how big it was. I was expecting something smaller, but anyways, we were promptly seated. Our server, Elsa, brought us warm chips and salsa and asked what we'd like to drink. My friend and I finally decided what we wanted to eat and placed our order. When the food arrived, it was hot and was exactly what I'd been craving! I ordered the chimichanga with beef fajita meat and it was fresh, tender and seasoned perfectly. My friend ordered enchiladas with extra tortillas and also loved his meal. The server was excellent, attentive and very kind. The restaurant was clean and a pleasant dining environment. And of course, the food was outstanding! We will be back soon!

    Lunch fajitas plus guac!

    This is my 1st time here and the decor was true to the type of restaurant it is. I think the work is very nice to the eyes and all while eating I couldn't stop looking around. It seem to be a big establishment even though it wasn't busy because of it being a holiday. I ordered a half order of steak/chicken nachos. The chips were kinda small with either meat and cheese on top. Beans were also on top of the nachos- tasty. A side of guacamole, sour cream, and jalapeños came with my order but I can't remember if I had to ask for one or the other and all were ate. The meat had a excellent flavor and I would order it again. The service was light because of it being a holiday and it was one person at the door and one person being the waitress. She was nice and attentive even though she got the drinks, took your order, took your money, and was cleaning the tables. Can anyone say multi- task. She did a great job- just hoping it's not like that for her every day. I recommend this spot on the decor, the food, and the service I received on Dr. Martin Luther King Day. P.S.- looking it seemed to me that they had a special area. I don't know if it's for booking or renting out but it's behind a close door. I will let you know WHEN I go back- if you don't get to it first.

I wish this time I had gotten two chicken because they were so good! The beef was good too, but they are more My Husband's flavor style than mine. Nothing at all wrong with them just personal preference. The meats were good quality, and the beans and rice were good too. Mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy battered on the outside with soft gooey cheese inside just like you want from good mozzarella sticks My friend ordered the nachos and let me tell you that plate was stacked. Huge plate of nachos! The place was clean, service was friendly and overall we were just really impressed with everything. Even end of the night food was still served fast, fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here. Their menu has a gigantic variety so I can almost guarantee you'll find something for everyone!

God bless the people who came up with Las Palmas…read more 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!

Now, I will note that the parking proved to be a touch challenging, and the grounds were a bit damp from the rain though, I suppose that is simply to be expected. It certainly did not dampen my spirits, because the moment I stepped inside, I was utterly captivated. The decor is absolutely magnificent, adorned with a curated collection of cowboy hats and photographs that beautifully capture the true, authentic spirit of Dallas. It has such character! I initially settled in at the intimate little bar, where the bartender greeted me with wonderful hospitality. To begin, I ordered a Spicy Mezcal Margarita an exceptionally flavorful choice that was executed flawlessly. After a lovely, brief chat with the bartender, the sun began to break through the clouds, warming up the day beautifully. Naturally, I decided to move out to the patio to fully immerse myself in the vibrant afternoon energy. The overall atmosphere, service, and decor are nothing short of extraordinary. For lunch, I treated myself to the Ribs, and they were divine truly delicious and prepared to perfection. Between the exceptional cuisine and the thoroughly satisfying ambiance, this establishment is an absolute triumph. I shall most certainly be returning

    It had been several decades since my last visit to Mia's Tex-Mex, and since my wife and I were in…read morethe area, we decided to stop in. Wow--things have definitely changed! I remember when they were located further down Lemmon Avenue in a much smaller space. They've since moved uptown, and the new digs are beautiful and very inviting. After we were seated, our server, Ruben, greeted us with a warm smile. We were especially excited since we arrived just in time to catch their lunch specials--and there are plenty of great ones to choose from. We started with a couple of frozen margaritas and a cup of queso while browsing the menu. The margaritas were spot-on--not wimpy at all, with just the right kick. And the queso? Absolutely outstanding--some of the best we've had in a long time. The salsa was excellent as well. My wife chose the lunch-sized chicken quesadillas, while I went with the #7 lunch special, which included a cheese taco, a chicken enchilada, and a beef enchilada topped with chili con carne. Our meals arrived after a short wait, and everything exceeded expectations. My wife was thrilled with the portion size--it was just right--and she was all smiles after her first bite. The chicken fajita meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. My lunch special hit the spot and delivered exactly what I was craving. We had a fantastic experience at Mia's Tex-Mex. Ruben took excellent care of us throughout our visit, and we'll definitely be back again soon!

Service could not have been better. Portions are generous. I will come back here again when I am in the area.
