Went to this place in Dallas three times I loved it so much. The guacamole was fantastic and healthy tasting. They make it in front of you. Their drinks are great. Great food menu too. Very unique.
Fabulous! We’ve spent ungodly amounts of money at the bar with the amazing view ! So much fun! Fajitas are amazing. AND THE MEX DONUTS....
Everything is AMAZING! Seriously try their specials. Everything I've ever had always has a great flavor and is perfectly cooked. Service is always great too. Plus there is a good atmosphere!
I love the pollo relleno ! I get it every time! The cocktails are amazing too! I love this place for dates, group hangouts, girls night out, etc! I highly recommend it!
Best brunch I have ever had! Heck best buffet , breakfast , etc. I've ever had. A bit pricey at $20 each person, but worth it!
The Avocado and Portabello fries were great, the Paella was wonderful and my waitress Teri was awesome!
Amazing happy hour and some delicious half price appetizers to go with it. Have one (or six) and sober up all in the same place. –James, The A-List: Dallas
Like many business that found success in Austin, this Austin standby now has branch in Dallas. Read more
I haven't gone to this place without leaving satisfied. The chicken stuffed avocado are amazing! I will be back.
Amazing margaritas , good food and very friendly service . Great place!
Had the 100% margarita and Yucatan fish tacos , tacos were amazing but dish is a bit small. Margarita , a bit too sweet.
Double Bartle Margarita is perfect. Steak and chicken fajitas hit the sport after a long day.
Had a spiced rum and coke 3 different times from the same 2nd floor bar , served in 3 different glasses, with varying amounts of alcohol . It wasn't that busy but the bartender seemed out of it.
Love the 2nd floor balcony outside. You can smoke out there and has a great view .
The view and tacos are amazing.
Parking Is a problem. $10 is a bit steep to come to Happy Hour . Too much sun at window and flies. But good side is JP and Alex are great bartenders .
Skirt steak is unreal. And you HAVE to get the Chocolate-avocado Cake !
Interesting drink options, considering. Lots of vegetarian-friendly options.
Hour and a half wait for a "table", but no wait at all for a table on the 2nd floor terrace . Full service, full menu. On a nice evening, hard to beat.
Ticked I wasted a dinner in Dallas on this place. Terrible relative to Mexican food available in Dallas. Followed a recommendation but should have known
Margaritas ! Their salsa and queso are delicious as well ! :)
Among the best margaritas I’ve ever had
Omg the brunch tho ????????????
Gil is my go to person when I'm there. Gotta love the street tacos .
No decent parking nearby on Saturday night. You must valet. It's only $10 when you leave.
Good service , loved the nacho appetizer .
They put tons of salt on the rims of their margaritas . I crave that mineral.
After dinner on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, take the elevator to the basement and dance away some of those calories!
Good tex mex food, service was ok and prices affordable
The Third Floor Patio is the best place to sit!
Rather than charge us a set price per person, they roped us into a contract (over the phone) that forced our group to end up paying $43.75 per person for a fajita buffet . Beware #NCA Cheerleaders!!!
Very extensive gluten-free menu, and the best Mexican food I've ever had!
Chorizo burger is awesome
Get the chicken poppers . That's why we love this place.
Lobster tacos are a must order.
I work the valet, come see me if you need your car parked on main st. .
They serve a Sunday brunch - great for those living downtown
One of the best Tuna Ceviche 's in the world!
Chicken popper appetizer is a great choice.
The frothy goodness that is the frozen margarita machine was invented in Dallas in 1971.
They do NOT have lobster tacos here or Yucatan tacos .
I agree with Scott P. the half moon booths are horrible, bit the guac and pork enchilada made up for it.
Try the Chicken Poppers ! The roasted salsa is the best
I recommend the brunch !
Great service, but come prepared for Nats/Fruit-flies.
Stuffed Avocado is very good.
Do not put the Lobster Tacos on your head - your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get to them.
If you need Gluten-free menu, Iron Cactus has one.
Mean margaritas !! Get 100 percent or moonshine ;)
The lobster tacos are smothered and covered in butter--deeeelish!
The place is amazing. All good is amazing climate inside is great and great outdoors bar! - Turner Cavender
The carnitas are delicious... They have some spicy with a hint of lime. - Ashley S.
