    Amazing food! Mi Cocina is located on the first floor inside the Galleria Dallas, in front of the ice skating rink. I ordered the Tacos de Brisket ($18.25) and chocolate tres leches ($9.95). Got complementary chips and salsa. The brisket taco was super delicious. Just meat and cheese in tortilla. Came with rice and salad. Rice was super good as well. The chocolate cake was not so good. The bread was soggy as if it got defrosted and the water seeped into the cake. The texture was not firm. Would recommend if you want really good mexican food.

    I was totally impressed with this restaurant! Inside a mall can always be questionable but not this location. Amazing service, the food was incredible and real food. We had a huge party and was seated quickly and had the best service! Even the prices were reasonable. Even in the mall the atmosphere was great. I would not skip on Mi Cocina!

    Mi Cocina is a go-to spot for flavorful Tex-Mex dishes in a vibrant and lively setting. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and energetic, making it a great choice for a fun night out with friends or family. The brisket tacos were the highlight of my meal--perfectly seasoned and tender, paired with their signature chips and salsa, which were fresh and addictive. The tamales were another standout, with just the right balance of spice and flavor. One thing to note is that the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours, which means longer wait times for seating and service. The noise level can also be on the higher side, so it may not be the best option if you're looking for a quieter dining experience. Pros: * Delicious, well-prepared Tex-Mex dishes * Friendly and attentive staff * Lively and fun atmosphere Cons: * Can get busy with longer wait times * Higher noise levels during peak hours

    queso was yummy. the beef changa was lacking flavor and only had plain beef in it. the service was phenomenal our drinks were never empty. also was greeted right when walking in. the location is nice in the mall overlooking the skating rink.

    During girls shopping day we usually stop here for snacks and drinks. The food is standard MiCocina quality. Hanging out by the skating rink is a pretty cool feature. There is generally enough room for us and our bags without making it awkward. Our usual order to go with the chips and salsa is queso and flour tortillas. The bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer is another one of our favorites. I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this location but if you're shopping in the Galleria and want to have a Tex-Mex meal, come try it out.

    Went here while on business in Dallas, Texas for a group dinner (about 40 of us). Interesting spot on the bottom of the Galleria. Chosen more for the ability to seat 40 people than the food, but decent place. Overall, pretty average Mexican with a few highlights. Not following proper Yelp review etiquette, I only got one picture ... of my meal, of course. Too bad, since some of the other items were much prettier. Live and learn. We started off with a variety of appetizers. The guacamole was very nicely done. I am assuming fresh in the shop, as it is nice and chunky and very fresh. I was not as fond of the queso, but I am not a huge fan of Tex-Mex, especially when there are Authentic-Mex options. This is likely blasphemy to Texans, so I will leave it at that. Could not eat the ceviche, as it was shrimp, but it was finished off quickly. My meal was the Ribeye al Carbon. A bit overcooked, but still tender, so not a huge issue (we also had a HUGE group, so the fact they could get this much food out that quickly is a huge bonus for the restaurant). The service was great. Always on top of things and making sure drinks were refilled. Not sure if that is the norm, as big parties spending $3 to $4 thousand often get a lot of attention, especially when alcohol is allowed in the mix. I am going to assume they are always this good, however, as I have not other experience. This is definitely a highlight. Would I go back? If I lived in this area, I would definitely consider it after trying other places. If I had kids that wanted to go ice skating (this is right next to the rink), I would be even more likely. Overall, a good experience, although more average.

Her knowledge of her craft, warm personality, and thoughtful recommendations made us feel truly welcomed and valued. It's rare for me to give an establishment a perfect score, but this one has earned it without hesitation. 10/10--an exceptional dining experience and the perfect place to celebrate life's special moments.

It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

    5/5 Stars Everything…read moreabout my dinner at El Carlos Elegante was exceptional. Rather than ordering à la carte, I chose the Elegante Experience, a four-course chef-curated tasting menu that concludes with dessert for $99 per person. The menu evolves with the seasons, allowing the kitchen to showcase its freshest ingredients and current specialties, so every visit has the potential to be a little different. For the quality of the ingredients, creativity, and execution, I thought it was an outstanding value. Every course was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. Not a single dish felt like an afterthought. The house-made masa program and wood-fired cooking really shine throughout the meal, and it's easy to see why this restaurant has earned such a strong reputation. The service was prompt, attentive, and genuinely courteous without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance, it feels refined while still being warm, familial, and incredibly inviting. If you're ordering a cocktail, I highly recommend the El Dragón. It paired perfectly with the meal and is worth trying. I've uploaded several photos with this review be sure to flip through them to get an idea of just how beautiful the presentation is. El Carlos Elegante is one of those restaurants that reminds you a tasting menu doesn't have to be intimidating or overpriced. It simply delivers outstanding food, excellent hospitality, and an experience that feels well worth the price. I'll definitely be back.
