Desperados Mexican Restaurant has been serving Dallas area residents real dishes from the heart of Mexico and traditional Tex-Mex favorites for more than 40 years. Desperados’ landmark status has been achieved through the determination and vision of Jorge Levy who, along with two partners, opened the doors to the now historic Greenville Avenue location in 1976.This family is very passionate about what they do and that passion is evident throughout many aspects of their business. However it is the recipes that have elevated Desperados to its status as a Delicious Dallas Original. The menu is large, sampling much of the culinary diversity of Mexico. “We were one of the first to ever serve Ceviche,” Jorge boasts. And with award winning specialties like the delicious Guacamole, tangy Steak Argentina, world famous Desperados Tacos and a Terlingua Champion Chili you are sure to find something scrumptious.

This was our first time at the Lakewood location. My wife and I have been to the location in Addison before but the Lakewood store was exceptional. We were seated before our reservation time which was nice. Our server Whitney did a great job, our food was delicious, and my cocktail was on point. Highly recommend this Lakewood staple!

Terra has a great atmosphere. My wife is disabled and the main elevator was not working when we arrived. However, the staff took us up the freight elevator and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The food is absolutely awesome. The wait staff was very attentive. If you're looking for fine Italian dining, this is a great place to go to.
