    Lengua plate with double beans $15... SMH.. really Tipicos.. you could do better..
    Christina L.

    Service was great. But the food portions was the main problem here. Been coming here over 20 years and this the first time I had a bad experience. I understand beef prices are at the highest I've ever seen but to be served this lunch/kids size meal at $15 is ridiculous. Mind you we've ate there 2 weeks ago with no issues. This is Tipico's (Northwest Highway Dallas). We ordered Lengua plate double refried beans and no rice. No way this is double beans and lengua enough for 3 tacos.. $15...

    The dining area.

    OMG!! We have not had a good Tex-Mex cuisine since living in San Antonio, THE FOOD WAS FIVE STAR DELICIOUS . Huevo Rancheros with eggs cooked perfectly with the whites solid and the yolk runny AND not plated on top of corn tortillas, the Rancheros sauce is to die for, made with thick sliced jalapeños! Best of all no black beans just fantastic refried pinto beans and fresh made tortillas made by hand and not with a tortilla machine. We live 36 miles away and the drive was worth it. We have tried other places in Ft Worth. And how I knew it was Tex-Mex restaurant? NO POZOLE, they have the three Amigos: Caldo de Res, Pollo and Menudo. We will be back!

    Guisado en salsa verde
    Hector F.

    Every person in Dallas says this place is bomb- so this was a place that I've been wanting to try. So I'm finally here. Parking spot is small but there is parking- this place is packed but there was tables available- the whole time I was there people kept on coming but people were leaving also. - sit where you want- the waitress was good. Friendly- The Menudo- was missing some flavor I did like the meat it was chucky Nopalitos con Guisado de Puerco en Salsa Verde - and it comes with fresh homemade tortillas corn & flour- - the food was good. The rice was ok- the beans were actually pretty good. The guisado was good- One thing i was disappointed was that the salsa verde wasn't spicy- the salsas we got with the chips were not spicy either- for a Mexican joint , food needs a kick- not to burn off your tongue but a nice kick - that's why I was disappointed - maybe the jalapeños were being friendly that day- I will go back to try again

    Al Carbon Taco

    I've been here many times before and it's safe to say this place never disappoints. This is a traditional Mexican food spot that's family owned over by Love Field Airport. It's been around for decades and is one of two locations in DFW! We ordered the eggs with chorizo plate that comes with potatoes and beans & the tacos al carbon which comes with rice and beans. Your choice of tortilla as well (flour or corn)! The food is very tasty. Good service. I also had the horchata to drink (which is basically a sweet drink made with rice & cinnamon) & it was very yummy. Once you're done ordering you pay at the front! The ambiance is lively & it is usually very busy-- but I am not surprised. The food is extremely delicious and traditional. Please go dine here if you haven't already. They take to-go orders as well!

    Caldo de Res

    Everything was perfect except that it's too far from me!!! Flour and corn tortillas are homemade. Tried a little bit of everything and was not disappointed at all!!!

    We found this place based on yelp reviews. It was very busy at 3pm so we thought we made a good choice. We got seated pretty quickly, but were not acknowledged by servers for a while. The person seating us finally came over to take our order. He then handed us over to a waitress. Our drinks and chips came out fairly quickly, but it took a while for our food. Other tables around us got their food first. The food was good but not outstanding. Seems like they have quite a following, but not worthy of the crowd.

    When was rancheros and beef fajita tacos?
    Kelli T.

    Right by Bachman Lake and the highest rated tacos in the area on Yelp. You'll find ample parking and plenty of seat, yourself booths, and tables. Tables are numbered and you pay at the front. Be sure and get there early as it gets very crowded. The server was very friendly and efficient. Chips, salsa, and my huevos rancheros were delicious. My son and grandson enjoyed the tacos. The homemade flour tortillas were a hit with all of us!

    I'll take the large bowl, please!

    Mom used to make an Italian version of "menudo" (tripe) with a spicy tomato-based sauce and potatoes. Grew up loving that! When I first moved to Texas from the Midwest I was excited to see "menudo" on the menu at an (unnamed!) Mexican restaurant and ordered it without having done my research. It was HORRIBLE!!! Really greasy and obvious the tripe was not cleaned very well; it was years before I would ever try again. My second try was at Casa Navarro and, while theirs was MUCH better, the fact they serve it only Saturday and Sunday as well as it being "just okay" (still a bit too greasy for me) prevented me from going back. Today after doing a lot more research, I ended up at Tipico's at 10:45am on a Thursday--they serve menudo every day! I was surprised to see how crowded it was, getting one of the final few parking spots in the main lot. After sitting down at one of the last available tables I placed my order... a LARGE bowl of menudo--being only 50 cents more than the small bowl it seemed like a no-brainer. I (gringo) also appreciated that the waitress didn't ask me "if I was SURE I wanted to order it" like had happened both times before; it made me feel like less of an outsider and more welcome to be there! ;) What I was served along with the chips, salsa, and corn tortillas was AMAZING! The broth was so flavorful and the tripe was mild tasting and delicious. I could have eaten two large bowls! I do agree with some that a bit more hominy would have been nice but did not experience the saltiness described by some. If you ever feel adventurous and want to try menudo, I'd say this is the place to go. It was by far the best soup made with tripe I've ever eaten (sorry mom)! As long as you're able to mentally deal with what it is, the appearance, and texture I am confident you'll have a positive experience. Don't feel you need to have a hangover to enjoy it! I will DEFINITELY return... soon!

    Taquitos advertised as tacos on the menu. Staff was really helpful in explaining the issue and re-making my order to what I wanted but in the end, taquitos were served (not tacos).

    Beef fajita tacos

    Love this place since I visited 8 years ago. Everytime I'm in dallas I make a lount of coming here. Staff is great and never had a bad experience with the food. The Agua Fresca lime is fantastic. They always bring you a basket of chips with 2 types of salsa always a plus. Fajita tacos homemade tortillas 8 outa 10 Rice and beans 8 outa 10 Agua Fresca 9 outa 10 Service 9 outa 10

    Tipico's is one of the few Mexican restaurants in Dallas I can confidently say serves a TRUE, AUTHENTIC Mexican food experience. My family and I have been coming here for YEARS. This ain't no fancy "gourmet" Mexican food or chimichanga/queso type Tex-Mex. It's, for lack of better terms, a hole-in-the-wall that serves BOMBBBB Mexican food. My mom is from South TX and she says the food tastes like authentic Texas Mexican food and is the closest to the food she gets back home. The quality is consistently great and they serve chips and salsa. The salsa is spicy af and not watered down at all. I love the red salsa. The chips always taste fresh. The service is always fast and the employees here work hard. We've never received poor service here. The dishes are amazing-I highly recommend their breakfast tacos (bacon & egg, nopales), their beef soup (sopa de res), and their res guisado taco plate. You won't be disappointed here.

    Cheese Enchilada Plate
    Ricardo J.

    "Tipico" means "typical" in English - this place does live up to that in the sense that they serve most of your standard Mexican fare. The restaurant serves breakfast items such as chilaquiles and huevos con chorizo, while also serving burritos, tacos, enchiladas, nachos, etc. They also serve other traditional Mexican dishes such as guisado, menudo, and soups. What isn't "typical" about this place, though, are the level of flavor and quality of the service found here. The food is simply the best Mexican food you can find in the DFW metroplex - simple dishes made to perfection at a great price. Take a look around at the clientele and figure it out. Look at the lines to get in, also. The service here is excellent, as well. The ladies hustle non-stop while still showing friendliness and professionalism. Tipico's offers typical dishes at a level that is anything but that. If you are in the area and are super hungry, they have you covered.

    Had some amazing cheese enchiladas! Just the right portion for me. Very busy restaurant and parking can be difficult at times.

I came in mainly to watch the game and have a few beers, but the service was so good you'd think I had ordered the entire menu instead of just casually committing crimes against the free chips and salsa. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. Honestly, if they treat a guy this well for drinking beer and demolishing complimentary chips, I can only imagine what happens if you actually order food. Definitely made me want to come back hungry.

The restaurant seemed warm and inviting with all the natural light, but as the meal progressed, there were quite a few misses that degraded the overall experience here. First, they didn't really have much in the way of non-alcoholic drinks except for sodas, which I typically don't drink. I wanted a flavored lemonade or an agua fresca. The waiter said they had lemonade and they could add some mango flavoring, but when I go the drink, it was terrible. It was like a Countrytime or something to that effect. I couldn't taste the mango flavoring. The waiter was kind enough to offer to remake the drink when he realized I didn't like it, but it was the same again, so I gave up. It just tasted so artificial and gross. For my entree, I ordered an enchilada plate with scrambled eggs and potatoes. The first time it came out wrong. It was beef enchiladas and not the cheese that was listed on the menu. Then they brought out my plate again and it was now covered in queso. According to the menu, it was a cheese enchilada with chili con carne, but I didn't want to raise the issue. I was really hungry at this point and just accepted it. The food was okay...2 1/2 or 3 star territory. The restaurant itself was pretty cool. I like the location and the abundance of natural light, but the miscommunications with the kitchen and the generic lemonade drink exposed some real opportunities here.

    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.
