    Location

    First time coming to this location and I gotta say I loved it. Great tacos and delicious horchata. There isn't really anywhere to sit and there's no bathrooms. The service was fast and easy. Definitely worth stoping by.

    The restaurant

    It's been a long time since I've come to La paisanita and I was pleasantly satisfied with the meal I had. I loved the fajita tacos and the amount of toppings they provided.

    Four mystery meat tacos.

    Not my first time visiting. Hadn't been here in years, but it was Sunday night and tacos were on my noggin and decided to stop here before heading out of Dallas. It's a whole in the wall type of place. Parking is limited and there was a short line for orders. There is no indoor dinning. You order at the window and they announce your name loud enough for Cesar's (competitor accross the road) to hear. There was one picnic table next off to the side. Luckily having children has me prepared with all kinds of disinfectant wipes. There's no where to wash your hands here if you plan on sitting at the one table. Our order was supposed to be fajita and lengua. As you can see in the picture, they were all the same. One type of meat. What type of meat? Not a clue. It was very tiny chopped but didn't taste like one or the other. Cannot give this more than three stars and this is solely based on the tacos. The only nice thing about the tacos is they perfectly grease their tortillas with flavored grease from their meat. Their salsas were good too, but cold. Salsas are better warm so they don't cool the tacos. Their onion and cilantro were not finely chopped. Seemed sloppy. As far as service, my husband placed the order and he said they were very uncoordinated. They couldn't even get the drink order right.

    Happy plate

    The area is a little sketchy, but the tacos are 100% worth it!!! I had pollo tacos with salsa verde! I'd one hundred percent recommend this place to taco consumers. It was worth the drive.

    Worst tacos I've ever had and bad service. Let's start with the tacos, the tortillas were crispy and there was more fat than meat on the taco. They were also very greasy, we ordered 6 tacos all together with my party and they all were not good. The reason why I said we had bad service is because one, the prices in the menu are not update. I question the cashier about my total, and she told me the tacos were actually $1.99 and not $1.79 like on the board. To begin she told me my total was $25, when I started calculating everything she said it was a lesser amount of $24 and some change. The fact that she tried to take the extra change was very upsetting because that's just not right... I wonder how many other people have been ripped of by change. I know it wasn't a lot but it's the principle that counts. First and last time coming to this establishment!

I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

Would return for drinks only and time with the bartender Devonte who was all vibes. We loved all the food we ordered. From the one hitters to the dessert. We've been in Dallas since late 2021 and happy we finally sat down for a meal here. It took me back to Mexico City and sparked energy within us to be exited while eating. Thankyou!

    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.

We ordered our drinks and when the drinks were delivered, we said we were ready to order, and the waitress, hesitated and then said she would be back. Kinda strange, but eventually we had our order taken. I ordered a mango agua fresca which was pretty good. The complementary chips and salsas were also really good. For an entree I had the Tempura Fried Fish Tacos. These were very good and the coleslaw served with them was very good- crunch and bright. Overall the food here is pretty solid.

Not the end of the world, but good to note!
