Martin

Came here last Sunday and it was such a solid Tex-Mex spot. The atmosphere was lively but still relaxed--perfect for a casual weekend meal. Service stood out right away. Our server was very accommodating, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of without being overbearing. We started with the complimentary chips, which were a great touch. I ordered the Martin and chicken fajitas--the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and came out sizzling. Everything felt fresh and well-prepared, and the portions were generous. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for good food, great service, and an easy, enjoyable vibe. I'd come back!

My first dining experience was at the Oaklawn location in 1993. It was there that I learned about the secret off menu dip. Regulars ask for " Bob Armstrong Dip" named after a Texas politician . It's a great start to delicious meal. Took a client to lunch today at Forest Lane location. He had lunch # 9 Beef taco Al carbon, 2 cheese enchiladas with chile con carne, guacamole. Spanish rice, and refried beans. I ordered the #1 cheese enchilada Grande with chile con carne ,onions ,rice ,and refried beans The salsa and chips were very good. Atmosphere , service ,and food were outstanding! Menu has many choices too. 30 plus years says a lot about this Tex - Mex heavy weight restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant. See you there !

About as good as it gets
Bob S.

This review was written in situ and benefited solely on basis of the food which I considered about as good as txmx gets. I had the basic 2 enchilada lunch which included a tamale for some reason. Service was quick, salsa very fresh and adequate as well as refilled. But the kitchen was slow and oddly enough the food arrived a bit lukewarm. OTOH did that mean it wasn't microwaved but instead actually heated in an oven??? After all the temp outside was maybe 20 and the entire room was a bit chilly. Let's say it's so, a big plus. Whatever, the lunch special was specially good for whatever it is that txmx is these days. Overall you can't really say this is a 5* but it's the best in area.

I like their complementary chips and salsa. Ordered was the patron margarita $13, breakfast tacos $12.45, and El Lio $14.45. Large spacious area. Service was always great.

Sour cream enchiladas
Stephanie C.

Pretty good Tex Mex place if you are in the area. The sour cream enchiladas were really good but the drinks weren't anything amazing. Tasted more like Margarita mixes. The salsa that came with the chips was actually really good as well. My husband also liked the beef fajitas. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly.

Nice little spot for lunch. They have lunch specials that have good options as well as choosing from the regular menu. The place is large and has indoor and outdoor seating. The food was good and all of it had good flavor and portions even good for the lunch specials and reasonably priced. Our server Jose L. was great.

Hatch Queso
Alaura E.

I knew this place would be tasty when the parking lot was full in the early afternoon on a Friday. I love their salad and the consistency, as well as the hatch queso since it had a kick. I ordered a side of tortillas (like 3), and they charged. First time that ever happened to me, but hey everyone is different. I enjoyed the sour cream chicken enchiladas, I added a little queso on top to just give it a little more flavor. I absolutely loved the puffy taco! I would go back just for that! Should out to them for the delicious swirl margarita too! It was very clean inside, general/ average noise level.

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

A staple of Uptown, Las Palmas is often referred to as the best Tex-Mex in Dallas. While I may be…read morebiased as it's my local spot, I do think Las Palmas is excellent. The location is super cute and always packed. You definitely need a reservation or have to go super early to get a spot. There is valet parking as well as street parking, which can get a bit crowded. I've had a ton of different food items the years, but their fajitas are their signature dish for a reason! It comes out sizzling, fresh, and delicious. Do not pass up on the bone marrow sauce, it transforms the dish to beyond a 10/10! The salsas are always good and then tortilla chips salty and fresh. I start with a skinny margarita w a salt rim, which was good. Our waiter, Abraham, was great! He was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We also order the ceviche to start, which was yummy! The crackers were a bit of an odd pairing for me and I stuck with tortilla chips, but overall delicious!! My friend ordered the steak quesadilla and thought it was tasty too.

Our friends found this spot and it was such a great find! The vibe is amazing, nice decor, great…read moremusic, good service. We hung out comfortably and had a couple of drinks before heading out. The food is amazing!! Obviously every dish is meat based here and it's cooked to perfection. Seasoned deliciously and very tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. We also ordered Chicharrónes and guac. I'll admit I was very skeptical about The Chicharrónes because they're either cooked right or they're not. They got it down here. Everything was cooked exceptionally well and delicious. 10/10 recommend. Food and drinks are great!

The short of it--food was fine, but certainly felt overpriced for what we ate…read more Long of it--Sat outside and it was nice. Here in Texas, chips and salsa are such a commonplace experience it's off-putting to pay for them. We ordered the guacamole and the chips and salsa come with it, so that was, I guess, better...but the guacamole was $16, so there's that. The salsa was tasty as was the guacamole, but again, for the portion it's really not worth it. We had the queso flameado, which was yummy and the flour tortillas are good! We split the sirloin and were underwhelmed. For a grilled meats place the steak was very under seasoned and wasn't giving us fresh hot grilled vibes. Meh at best, as were the rice and beans. We ordered elote as a side and it was really the best thing we ate. Service was friendly and efficient! Cocktails average $16ish. Again, for the prices we expected better.

Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

I was genuinely excited to bring my friend here for her birthday after such an incredible…read moreexperience back in December. That visit checked every box -- the food, service, ambiance, and overall hospitality were all exceptional. What really stood out to me then was the attention to detail. I had casually mentioned that one of my cocktails wasn't quite my taste, and Harry personally reached out afterward to say they'd gladly adjust it next time. That kind of thoughtful follow-up leaves a lasting impression and is exactly the sort of hospitality that elevates a restaurant experience. Unfortunately, this recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. We decided to do a combination of à la carte dishes along with the Experience menu after being told this version would feature entirely off-menu items, which genuinely intrigued us since Ihad also done the Experience previously. At the start of dinner, we were asked about allergies and dietary restrictions. I clearly explained that I have a mango allergy and do not eat beef. Our server then asked whether I ate other meats, and I clarified yes -- and even specifically mentioned that if the machete dish was beef, please still include it because my friend could enjoy it and I really wanted her to try it. He confirmed it would be the sirloin version, so we happily agreed not to modify that course. So imagine our surprise when one of the first dishes arrived dressed with a mango vinaigrette. Thankfully, we barely caught him quietly mentioning "mango" as he set it down. We immediately looked at each other thinking, "Didn't we just discuss the allergy?" It was disappointing, but unfortunately also representative of the overall service throughout the evening. Our server seemed disengaged, inattentive, and often not fully listening. Empty glasses sat untouched, opportunities to order additional items were missed, and at one point we were simply handed the check without even being asked if we wanted anything else. We also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and ended up pouring it ourselves for most of the evening because our glasses were rarely refilled. I completely understand not leaving the bottle tableside if walkway space is limited, but repeatedly needing to get up ourselves to retrieve it felt out of sync with the level of service one expects from a Michelin-recommended restaurant -- especially at this price point. Then came the machete dish. Instead of the sirloin version we specifically discussed, we received the vegetarian potato version. When the server asked how it looked, I politely explained that we were disappointed because he had specifically told us it would be the sirloin preparation. At minimum, I would have expected another protein substitution given the earlier conversation about what I could eat. I'm also still unclear whether the Experience menu was truly "off-menu" as described, since several dishes -- including the halibut -- appeared familiar. Had that been communicated differently, we likely would have skipped the Experience altogether and simply curated our own meal. At the end of the night, spending over $500 while pouring our own wine, nearly being served an allergen we explicitly disclosed, and receiving dishes different from what was promised made for a deeply disappointing experience -- especially after such a phenomenal first visit. It honestly felt sad more than anything because I know how wonderful this restaurant can be. I'm not sure what changed in the last five months, but the difference was significant.
