Nice little Tex Mex spot. I was told the “mambo taxi ” was the drink of choice, so managed to take a couple in. Since that’s what people do. It helped me cool down on a really hot dallas night!

Meredith Warren

Hi, brisket tacos , I love you. The menu is wonderful and the margaritas always hit the spot. Their super popular mambo taxi is a fun way to enhance the frozen margarita .

If you're in the mood for Tex Mex , you gotta try Mi Cocina. Their Nachos Locos are is what they do best - besides their queso . Their Rico Salad is also great with chili vinaigrette . Great for families

Tony

Upscale Tex Mex place in Uptown which automatically means you're gonna pay more for pretty much everything. But the food is good and as others have said the Mambo Taxi drink is highly recommended.

Robyn Harman

This place is a local chain that serves consistent QUALITY tex-mex with a fun atomosphere. Two words: Mambo Taxi . They'll only serve you two. Get something with the Sunset Sauce.

Petitsuisse

Mango Mambo Taxi for sure! The food here is really good and tasty! And the waiter , juvinal aka spider was super friendly ! I like this place :)

MarktheSpaMan McKenney

Gander "The Moderns" section for Pollo en Limon y Chile: grilled veggies , your choice of beef or chicken plus guacamole . Low carbs with your veggies deliciously prepared. Yum!

Robert Iris

Mambo Taxi (swirled margarita ) is very good - seating at the bar is a great place to people watch .

Greg Allbright

Sunset fajitas and brisket tacos are the stars of the menu. Mambo taxi makes everything else taste good too.

Steve Cimino

Get the mombo . This place would be so much Better if they lowered the music some, so you could hear your own partys conversation.

Sabrina Dee

Who know u could get a swirl of all three fab flavors!!! It's called a dilemma , it looks like fire tastes like sweet icey heaven!

mary catherine burford

both the cheese and chicken enchiladas are divine. best in dallas in my opinion! and wash 'em down with a mambo taxi .

Laurie Shook

Hidden tables on west side will save you from the cacophony

Brisket Tacos and Mambo Taxis !????

HTEDance

Total blast on a Friday night. This is the place to start the bar crawl for Friday Funday!!!

Saad Hamid

The one and the only Mambo texi

Lin Humphrey

Dilemmas marry the mambo taxi and mango margarita in a tall glass for $2 more. Perfect for the patio .

Dallas Observer

The Queso is so good! The best ever!!

Melissa Delgado

If you like some spice in your drink get "la llorona " if you like margaritas and sweet drinks get a "dilemma "

Sarah Bray

I always want to try something new, but it's impossible to stray away from the beef fajita quesadillas !

Bill Bliss

Sunset chiken fajitas are to die for!

Carla Hughes

The Dilemma and the Queso Chorizo are my favorites!

Max Jackson

Everything!

Jorge E

Ask for a "La Llorona ". It's a spicy margarita .

Joseph Bejjani

Chips and salsa and ambience

Filip Rokita

Skinny margarita ????????,kids food "ok", noisy fans trying to cool outside air down. Quick service though!

George Lopez

It tells you something when there hasn't been a Tip in over 14months and before that another year....

Kyla Applegate

Loved the guac

LogoTV

Who doesn’t love standard Tex-Mex food!? But the Mambo Taxis are not standard at all... good luck with those! –Phillip, The A-List: Dallas

Melissa Nash

Sunset chicken fajitas !

Kent S

Mambo Taxi : One of the best drinks in Dallas.

Kristi Kimrey Jackson

No one compares with their Marg 's????

Robert Dwight Charter

Avoid Saturday nights. Obnoxious people with tacky manners and you must shout above the din.

Ben Smithee

Always consistent, always fast!

Shei Unger

Frozen mango with sangrita swirl...tasty and a little less sweet; so you can drink excessively...

Cody P.

Steak Nachos al carbon and a mambo taxi is a must

one mambo taxi , two mambo taxi , three mambo taxi , floor...

Service can be painfully slow but the place is overwhelmed. Spicy Mango-Rita is hot but one is enough.

The "old fashioned" isn't what you think...
