    Bacon cheeseburger
    LeShea B.

    Wednesday 6pmish First off- it isn't a drive thru. Get out and go in. Misnomer. $13 for a combo. Cash only. There is an atm there. I do not know the fee Bacon cheeseburger, mustard all the way. Fries. Canned soda or bottled water. I enjoyed my burger. It was seasoned well. Compared to BlackJack's burgers, I would choose Nubia's. I would return. Burger comes with jalapeños. Just ask them to remove them. They fell off on their own. Fries were ok. If they were a la carte, and an extra charge, I wouldn't order them. Saw a review about someone not feeling safe. It's the hood, but it's not even that bad. I felt safe. Staff friendly. Less than 15 min. Bathroom available.

    Soooo good. Got the small mangonada, mango flower, and elote. Cash only. No dine in. But they will call your cell when your order is ready while you wait in your car.

    Birria taco and a Rusa!
    Yolanda H.

    When you first drive up, you may want to second guess yourself, but DON'T!! The food is delicious and the cashier/waitress was super nice and very helpful with food selection! I truly wanted to order everything on the menu, but we settled for the birria tacos, elote, the (small) loaded carne asada nachos, and a Rusa! Everything was excellent!! We will definitely be back!!!

    They changed locations from where they were originally were (across the street) So, it took us a little while to realize. But, they were playing good music. I accidentally got drink that was a size too big for me and the mason jar had a BIG hole in it. But, they made me a new one with no problem. It tasted great and had an assortment of different candies. They also give you a complimentary shot if you have valid ID. I'm not sure what forms of payment they take, but I remember it being limited so be sure to call and ask before you get there.

    I saw a post on FB said best burger I agree the burger was good! The birra tacos taste like pot roast no real flavor like I expected! Good portion of meat in taco , consume was ok! I will definitely be back for burger tho! Fries were bomb , i want to try with cheese sauce next time!

    Three birria tacos with rice beans and corn.

    The best tacos I have had in a long time. I intended to take a before photo but could not stop eating. I had the Birria tacos with rice and beans. I also had the corn. My 2year old niece and I loved every bite. Next time I will try to take a before picture.

    Too much tajin

    Michelada? More like over priced water with little Clamato and a ton of Tajín. Not defines what a michelada is for

    Pick roll ups & blue coconut snow cone (already had been drinking it)

    I'm so glad I found this place!!! Friendly staff and tons of amazing menu items at a great price! The pickle roll ups are my favorite

    Birra tacos

    The best birra tacos in dfw talking bout a hot cheeto burrito look out and them hamburgers!

    Sooo this is definitely a hole in the wall! I'm actually kind of shocked no one added it before but its a nice little place to take your drinks and elotes to go. They also have an assortment of mexican candies you can buy! My favorite is the elote with takis ($6) and the drinks are SO cute and come in lil mason jars that you get to keep. Drinks range from $10-$25ish for some menu items. OPEN LATE**** which is a plus, but it might not be an area you want to hang around in hehe ^.^ hope this helps! Will be back!!!

    Small Watermelon

    We went there on a recommendation from friends so we decided to try this place out. We ordered an Agua de Horchata, Small Mango, Elote, and Small Watermelon. The agua de Horchata is straight from the packet bought from the store and it's very watery. It's not made from scratch. The Elote is canned elote, it's not whole corn. The small mango is too sweet and taste like candy NOT REAL mango. The small watermelon again taste like candy. I was very disappointed.

    Mangonada 1min after they gave it to me all melted with ice chunks.

    They only take cash, venmo or cash app, but their elote is fantastic. Prices are higher than expected but the food was good.

    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.

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.

    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.

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!

    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.
