    I had coffee and a pastry at Xamán Cafe with my mom this past weekend when we were in Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts for a morning. First of all, the cafe is gorgeous. The cafe is inspired by Mexico's pre-Hispanic culture and history. The cafe itself is modern and bright, but you can see touches of pre-Hispanic culture in their menu and in their dishes. They serve their coffees in mugs made in Mexico - that are beautiful and traditional (black clay with faces on them, in a style popular in and traditional to the state of Oaxaca). We were meeting someone for brunch in a bit, so we couldn't eat a full meal, but I'd love to return for brunch in the future. (They serve brunch daily - starting at 7:30 on weekdays and 8 on Saturdays and Sundays.) Their menu is great - full of Mexican dishes I love: chilaquiles, enmoladas, pozole (only on weekends), sopa de fideo (M-Th only), and more... In addition to their menu, they offer some pastries at the counter. I tried their cajeta empanada, which was very good. Their drink menu is great, too, though: cafe de olla, Oaxaca mocha (with Mexican chocolate), cajeta macchiato, matcha, cocktails (like a fun play on an espresso martini and a carajillo), and more... My mom had a simple coffee, but I tried their Xamán horchata: their house made horchata and a double espresso. Our coffees were great. My empanada was a treat. The service was good. The cafe is gorgeous. I'd be happy to return - hopefully next time for some food from their great menu!

    I've had this place on my list for a while and finally decided to stop by. We were seated quickly they have a front area and back area for customers. The menu is a great size not to large being overwhelming or to small. There coffees all sounded delicious but i got the espresso horchata iced which they bring the espresso on the side so you can manage how much you intake at a time. The flautas came recommended and were delicious. They had a subtle spice which was perfect and that crunch you expect

    This place is better than Starbucks, but don't just take my word for it. Go there. The staff is wonderful, the menu choices are plentiful, and the environment is great for coming and going or staying. There's even a back bar area room that is good for parties and private meetings.

    GREAT food, drinks and staff! The eggs on my avocado toast were perfectly cooked, and the base was seasoned well. I also got the seasonal biscoff latte and it was perfect. Vibes are calm and lovely, and I was pleasantly surprised with the selection of baked goods. I can't wait to come back to try the crepas ;)

    Gorgeous space, very intimate. I had to remove two stars though for the customer service. The staff working the counter as well as our server didn't make me feel very welcome. I didn't catch the server's name but she was clearly trying to flip her table as soon as possible. During breakfast here, she returned incessantly to ask if we were done or needed anything else. It was aggressive especially while in deep conversation or mid bite. The chilaquiles were fine and I liked the brown sugar latte. They also have a cute patio out front. Parking was a bit rough, street parking with meters. Overall, the service being a bit off putting keeps me from wanting to visit again.

    Xaman Cafe is one of the nicest brunches I have had in a LONG time! The Flan was thick and creamy, on the eggy side, I enjoyed it not sure if its for you? The corn pancakes were my favorite, paired perfectly with their light syrup. soft and moist and balanced. Birria is decent its also a balanced not too greasy or salty meal anyone can enjoy. The drinks were what I was hyped up for, so I got the matcha and coffee hortchata and also the Jamaica , they were all kinda just watery Music was a bit loud for brunch but they have tons of seating around, service was better for a brunch experience. I ordered most of the things I wanted off the brunch so I would need to see if there would be new seasonal items or a change in menu to pair with the pancakes.

    Strawberry matcha latte and Xaman horchata

    This was my first stop for food in Dallas. It was one of my favorites BY FAR! I ordered the strawberry matcha latte. It may have been a Valentine's special, but if not you have to try! We tried the Mexican croissant and the chilaquiles. I would recommend both! The staff were so friendly. They explained the dishes, specials, and story behind the restaurant. We went for brunch time but it was a bit busy in the front so we got to sit in the back half that actually turns into a speakeasy at night. The front half is very bright and full of plants. The back half containing the speakeasy is very moody (in a good way). They even had fresh florals on each table. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Dallas!

    Such a great little spot all of the food we've had here has been great. The staff were all really kind and quick to assist.

    Such a cute spot!!! The interior is sooo pretty and their coffee is so good! If i lived closer id be here more often for coffee and a pastry c: We dined in on a saturday for lunch and they have seating in the front of the cafe and also much more in the back by the bar! We ordered small cups of red pozole (delicious btw we cleared those so fast) and i got the chorizo omelette and i loved how their green salsa is super spicy and flavorful!! The cups the coffee were served in are v cute too. Id love to stop by for dinner and try out their cocktails! Our server was also super friendly and attentive :)

    Lovely cafe that has a speakeasy with a risky name. Lattes came in the coolest mugs. Soup was surprisingly good and service was perfect. I think they should warn people about the presentation of the churros. It was different but still tasty.

    THE BIG: Located in Bishop Arts district of Dallas. This is a cute Oaxacan style restaurant with delicious food! Bags of Mexican coffee line the hallway. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Wowowow. This spot is where it's at. I came up with the wife and a childhood friend to see the Texas Rangers game. The brunch at Xaman Cafe was part of the tour. The restaurant seems small at first, but then you walk back and there's another part of the restaurant that seems like a speakeasy. I bet it is at night. Classic Oaxaca decor and flair. We ordered the mole chilequiles, torta ahogada, and the oaxacan mocha for that caffeine fix. All was so good. The mole chilequiles had a nice nuttiness with the mole and the torta was delivered in a tomato based dipping sauce that was absolutely amazing. THE FINAL BAMBOO: For two dishes and an oaxacan mocha, the damage done was around $45. Great meal all around and I will definitely be back to try more items.

    Side soup(pozole)
    Vero M.

    Host and waitress were attentive. Sat us down quickly. Food was really good! They sat us in the back room which was really cool feels like you're going into a speakeasy bar and it pretty much is! Was there for breakfast though! Had the croissant with soup! Soup was pozole by the way soooo yummy! Lavender Matcha was great!

    I went for the corn pancakes as I was comparing to the blue corn pancakes that I had at another restaurant. The breakfast/brunch menu was very limited. The staff was friendly and attentive. The corn pancakes were okay. They were pretty heavy and didn't come with a side. I don't believe this establishment serves a side of bacon. I don't remember if I had two or three pancakes but I didn't leave as full as what I would like. Cool vibe. I heard it turns into a speakeasy after a certain time.

    Chilaquiles Mexico city-style..

    Celebrating our 1-year anniversary at The Mexican was nothing short of extraordinary…read more From the moment we walked in, the energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for excellence were evident in every aspect of the experience. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service came together to create an unforgettable evening. A special shout-out to Ashley, whose hospitality and mastery behind the bar elevated our celebration even more. 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. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We can't wait to return!

The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the bartender was even kind enough to take my picture. From the service to the vibe, this place exceeded my expectations. It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

    LOVE this place. 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. Probably come here once a month if not more often. Thank you for great food and good service too- that's hard to come by nowadays. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! This is your sign!

Now, I will note that the parking proved to be a touch challenging, and the grounds were a bit damp from the rain though, I suppose that is simply to be expected. It certainly did not dampen my spirits, because the moment I stepped inside, I was utterly captivated. The decor is absolutely magnificent, adorned with a curated collection of cowboy hats and photographs that beautifully capture the true, authentic spirit of Dallas. It has such character! I initially settled in at the intimate little bar, where the bartender greeted me with wonderful hospitality. To begin, I ordered a Spicy Mezcal Margarita an exceptionally flavorful choice that was executed flawlessly. After a lovely, brief chat with the bartender, the sun began to break through the clouds, warming up the day beautifully. Naturally, I decided to move out to the patio to fully immerse myself in the vibrant afternoon energy. The overall atmosphere, service, and decor are nothing short of extraordinary. For lunch, I treated myself to the Ribs, and they were divine truly delicious and prepared to perfection. Between the exceptional cuisine and the thoroughly satisfying ambiance, this establishment is an absolute triumph. I shall most certainly be returning

    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've been here twice. Everything we ordered was very good both times…read more During our first visit, I had the Caesar salad, which I declared at that time "the greatest Caesar salad I've ever tried." It was glorious and bountiful--there was ample dressing, cheese, and other ingredients I'm forgetting that made it unique. Unfortunately, during our second visit, the Caesar salad was significantly different. I think they used the same dressing, but there was very little of it. There was nearly no cheese and the other ingredients were similarly sparse. It was still good, but it in no way was the greatest I'd ever tried. I hope that this was a 1-off experience, as it truly was the best. I will report back next time. Service was great both times- they were very careful about my Cilantro request (none) and even though they gladly prepared dishes without it, they also made a list of things that already had none by default. Salmon ceviche, Pork al pastor, Carne asada, and the machete were also very good. The machete is a specialty- it had the house made masa and fillings can vary.
