    Delicious! The restaurant is tucked in the intersection of Ross and Greenville ave. Once entering the interior was well fashioned and inviting. Its presentation prepares you for the beautiful presentation of their food. Theresa welcomed us and had us seated quickly. They gave us extra time to look through the menu and we ended up getting the Frida and Vampiro Nacho for our drinks. The drinks were extra fresh, fruity and quite strong. The ceviche is hands down the best I've had from a restaurant! It was creamy and fresh and the presentation was beautiful with a ton of edible flowers. #girlyceviche Our plates were very good and once again fresh but was hard to compare to our delicious appetizer and drinks! Definitely coming again to try out the rest of their unique drinks and more ceviche!

    Great service-- cannot stress that enough. Was easily persuaded to get the margarita! The mile verde was also swell and paired well with the drink. Fellow friends agreed that the vibe was great! Need to try other fun drinks. Cheers!

    I found this super dope Mondern-Mex place that I absolutely fell in love with while in Dallas. The service was amazing, food packed major flavor, the vibe was nice, I mean, all around super solid. 5/5 for me, and trust me, I've been to some good spots, I don't throw those out there lightly. Check it out. Lechón - Slow cooked, tender Pork Loin, Quelites, Roasted Cherries Tomatoes, Red Onion, Corn, Mexican Squash, Seared Serrano Peppers, topped off with Mole Negro and a side of Fresh Corn Tortillas, yooooo Must try for me. Aguachile Tulum - Light, simple, but amazing! Octopus, Cucumber, Red Onion, Lime Juice, Avocado, Micro Cilantro, Mango and Serrano Peppers. Absolutely delicious! Another must order, for real. Guac-Guac - Serrano Peppers, Habeneros, Fresh Avocados, Lime Juice and Queso Ranchero. Amazing, and I say that because it's better than your average, promise. Complimentary Chips and Salsas - Housemade Tortilla Chips, 3 Salsas, Green, Red and Roasted. All really good, especially on the food. If you're in the Dallas area, check em out, I promise you won't regret it. Enjoy!

    I just want to say that this place blew me away. From the outside it is very small looking, but this is such the deception because they have outdoor seating that is air-conditioned outdoor seating on a patio and they have an indoor area, the food was absolutely amazing and my server did a really good job and making sure that we had great food that was authentic. I will definitely be returning here, please do not hesitate to try the drinks as well. Everything here was just delicious.

    Asado de Boda-$25. Steamed pork on a rich, spicy sauce! yum!

    I pass this place frequently while out and about running errands. Zaddy was in town and I always know what he wants.... TACOS! (I've converted a yankee, yall ;-) ) Moderately busy that early Saturday evening. Our waitress with the cool red colored hair was a gem. Just when you thought she forgot about you, she appeared out of nowhere with exactly what you requested! The restaurant is very small but these folks make it work! They utilize every square inch magically! The nachos were hefty. Could've been an entree. Not bad for $13. The asado de boda did me right. The sauce isn't as spicy as it looks and the pork????...girl FORK TENDUH! It comes with tortillas so you can make your own tacos or you can be a weirdo like me and take a bite of tortilla after every bite of pork! At $16-$20 a pop the drinks could have a little more alcohol in them, but I get it, they want us to drive home safely lol. That was an easy fix. We just ordered another shot!. I strongly recommend the Mr. Rodriguez! I'm an avocado lover, but you really don't taste it in the drink. Not overly sweet where it would have my stomach in knots upon completion. I asked all my fellow yelpers to stop "just driving by" this place. Walk in and treat bae, the fam, or just yourself!

    Mole Negro

    Food and service was fantastic. We didn't know how to choose from our mole sauces, so got to try them to decide. Couldn't have gone wrong with any of them. Flavor profiles were sophisticated and the volcan (basically a big boiling bowl of fajitas) was just amazing. The vibe was great, since you can actually hold a conversation. Love it!

    The food here was so delicious and the place itself was very pretty. Fresh flowers on the table and the wait staff were so kind and considerate. Highly recommend.

    Mole Rojo

    Service was excellent and so was the food! When you are seated, you get free chips and three salsas. The drinks are unique but I wish they were a tad stronger! Overall we had a great experience and we are definitely coming back. :)

    Let me start by saying that this unsuspecting place delivered both in quantity and quality of the food items we ordered. We came in when they weren't super busy. It was late afternoon but we wanted to grab an early dinner before heading to the hockey game. Our waitress was very pleasant. The restaurant was brightly lit and kept clean. We ordered some cocktails while we peruse the menu. My husband had the Frida which I tasted and ended up ordering as well because it was quite good. I ordered the lechon which was tender and wonderfully braised pork loin over cherry tomatoes, red onion, corn, Mexican squash, Serrano peppers, panela cheese, green rice and then covered with mole negro and served with some corn tortillas. So good and the serving was huge! I could not finish it but the food heated up really well the next day! My husband got the mole rojo served with red rice and pento beans and enjoyed every bite of his dish as well. Our experience here was both delicious and fantastic. If I am ever back in Dallas, I will be sure to stop in!

    First and foremost, there is limited parking in the back and they do offer valet! As we were walking in, we were immediately greeted and offered a table! Great energy and light music made for a great welcoming! Looking at the menu, nothing jumped out at us at first. We debated on going elsewhere but figured we'd give it a try; so glad that we did! We started with the beef nachos that knocked it out of the park! The red cabbage Mexican slaw was a perfect pairing with the nachos! Great way to start off the meal experience! We then got the Carmen and the Brazeros! The Carmen had shrimp, queso asadero, toreados, mexican coleslaw, guacamole, salsa toro, green rice and each item in their own was flavorful and delicious, all together, mmmmmmmmm! The Brazeros were Four potato crispy tacos, mexican coleslaw, red onion, crema fina, panela cheese, salsa brava and were perfectly cooked! Crispy outside and perfectly mixed and melted filling with the cream fina on top! There was no way to not dive into dessert after three great dishes that we decided to get both desserts to try! Best decision of the day! The EL MEXICANO: Mexican flan, frutos rojos; was the perfect consistency and sweetness! The PASTEL DE ELOTE: Fresh corn, fruit, rompope; was served warm and delicious perfect soaked in rompope without being too soft! Great texture and warm, sweet, and savory! Will be back again and most definitely stop in and enjoy!!!

    We happen to look for some Mexican brunch options and decided to give this restaurant a try. It was the best decision worth the drive from Irving. This was like finding a jewel in the sand. Can't get over with the flavors of their salsas! Salsas are the soul of Mexican food is what I feel! Exceptional service!!! Beautifully plated with fresh ingredients. Their portions are of decent sizes. They have a full bar with both indoor and covered outdoor patio seating, offering a quaint dining experience. If anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine taquero is the place to go!! I highly recommend this!

    Are kids ok to bring into the restaurant? Is there a kids menu?

    Hi there, of course! We don’t have a kid’s menu, but there are some options (off the menu) for them.

    Can anyone look at their bill and let me know if they charge extra to 'shake' your drinks?

    No, we don’t. ¡Saludos! 😊

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5.

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.

There was a time when Meso Maya was the go-to for upscale Mexican in Dallas. The culinary scene in Dallas has changed so much that it is not longer the case. But the downtown Meso Maya remains an icon and continues to deliver consistently good food and service. The restaurant still has the warm ambience and remains in good condition even after all these years. It was too hot to sit on the patio so we ate indoors. The interior is smaller than I remember. The restaurant still starts you out with complimentary chips which are strips, and a smoky, spicy salsa. it was great. I started with the a mescal margarita and it was excellent. The kid had Topo Chico and the wife had Prosecco. Everyone enjoyed their drink. For entrees, the wife had her favorite, the vegetable budin, which is like a lasagna. The flavors were deep and rich. She loved it. I tried the carne tacos and they were excellent! The meat was tender and smoky. The beef had been marinated for a wonderful flavor. Good quality with no fat. I usually avoid ordering beef at restaurants because I often get more fat than meat which I detest, but not at Meso Maya. Our server Luis was very good. Present when we wanted and not when we did not. Overall, the restaurant was a hit on every level--ambience, service, and food. We like the downtown location the best and will return.

Loved the decorations, the bar is big and takes up a lot of the area where some of the tables are making it a little crowded but that's not a big deal. They had a performer there that night and that was cool. The item we were so excited to try was the biggest disappointment, the chicharon! It looked so good but it was so bland and chewy. We thought it might have been undercooked and ordered another second and asked them to cook it longer but alas it was like chewing on nothing. And that is the common denominator with all the food here. It was so bland. The only item I enjoyed was the jalapeño and cheese sausage. The salsa was bland. The meats were bland. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The drink in the bowl was good. But other than that the meal was a disappointment which is truly sad because we were looking forward to the meal, and it was pricey too. Had the food been good we wouldn't have been bothered by the price. We needed some flavor that day.
