    This is some of the best Mexican food in Dallas. The margaritas are very authentic and the selection of dishes unique.

    Everything was fantastic. And our waiter, Sosa, was awesome. He was engaging, funny and super nice. I’ll definitely ask for him next time we eat there

    Had reservation. Sat 30min later. Told we couldnt order appetizers first and had to order all food together. Ordered octopus, beef enchiladas, and shrimp tacos. Every piece of meat was dry and overcooked. Valet understaffed but at least allowed me to retrieve my own car which i appreciate. This place has ridden it’s hype and attracts a crowd but no longer values quality or service, especially at a steep price.

    The service was great, the cocktails were fun & delicious. That’s where the good review ends. Filet was sent back twice and still purple in the middle, but we appreciate that they comped that dish. Pork Belly Appetizer was only okay, filet & bone marrow tacos left MUCH to be desired. Sat on the patio, it was all very loud with parties screaming over the loud music. Lots of management presence, but server was the only one to apologize for the meal disappointments. It came highly recommended, but unfortunately did not deliver on most aspects of a nice dinner. Not to mention, three reminders, after the initial email to confirm the reservation about the importance of the dress code… seems a bit overkill, especially for some of the outfits we saw while we were there. We aren’t from Dallas, but we shared the review with locals, and sounds like the hype isn’t worth the experience for most. Hate to leave a bad review, but an honest one was warranted in this case.

    THE MEXICAN doesn't miss. I could eat the cauliflower every day. The pork belly was great. A few pieces were a bit too crispy, but great, just the same. Now, let's talk about the retrieval of my vehicle: A COMPLETE CLUSTER-🤬🤬🤬🤬 It simply shouldn't take 48 minutes to retrieve my car nor should I continue to be told it's far away.

Then we shared the entree of scallops & enchiladas. We all loved it! Oh and the Mexican margaritas were perfect!
