That MarikaApril 18, 2012Went 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.
Kitty McWittyMarch 1, 2018Fabulous! We’ve spent ungodly amounts of money at the bar with the amazing view! So much fun! Fajitas are amazing. AND THE MEX DONUTS....
Lauren PattersonJanuary 1, 2015Everything 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!
- Jessica QuirozFebruary 22, 2015I 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!
Danielle LewisJune 26, 2016The Avocado and Portabello fries were great, the Paella was wonderful and my waitress Teri was awesome!
Arianna RojoJune 11, 2013Best brunch I have ever had! Heck best buffet, breakfast, etc. I've ever had. A bit pricey at $20 each person, but worth it!
LogoTVJuly 6, 2011Amazing 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
Andréa MicheleAugust 7, 2013Parking 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.
K KNovember 10, 2013Love the 2nd floor balcony outside. You can smoke out there and has a great view.
Mark PaulsonSeptember 20, 2012I haven't gone to this place without leaving satisfied. The chicken stuffed avocado are amazing! I will be back.- Bianca GiorgettiDecember 30, 2017Amazing margaritas, good food and very friendly service. Great place!
- K KNovember 10, 2013Had 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.
- Rony KarimJuly 4, 2013Had the 100% margarita and Yucatan fish tacos, tacos were amazing but dish is a bit small. Margarita, a bit too sweet.
Alex GruzenApril 15, 2013Hour 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.
Dallas ObserverAugust 19, 2014Like many business that found success in Austin, this Austin standby now has branch in Dallas. Read more
Adam WhiteNovember 11, 2015Double Bartle Margarita is perfect. Steak and chicken fajitas hit the sport after a long day.- K KNovember 10, 2013No decent parking nearby on Saturday night. You must valet. It's only $10 when you leave.
Courtney KleinSeptember 28, 2017Interesting drink options, considering. Lots of vegetarian-friendly options.
Patrick FogartyJune 19, 2011I agree with Scott P. the half moon booths are horrible, bit the guac and pork enchilada made up for it.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011The frothy goodness that is the frozen margarita machine was invented in Dallas in 1971.
GinaJuly 23, 2015Brought a party of 11 to the restaurant. They would not seat us together. They were not helpful at all and made rude comments that were over heard by our group. We went across the seat.
- Scott SingerFebruary 26, 2017Rather 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!!!
Mark ElrodJune 1, 2012Do not put the Lobster Tacos on your head - your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get to them.
Makayla MadduxNovember 27, 2011Very extensive gluten-free menu, and the best Mexican food I've ever had!
Try the meatloaf and avoid the half-moon booths. The seats are worn and make any person need a booster.
Alan LesselyongFebruary 20, 2011After dinner on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, take the elevator to the basement and dance away some of those calories!
Chris .December 27, 2014They put tons of salt on the rims of their margaritas. I crave that mineral.
Michael RyanOctober 19, 2013The Lobster tacos are out of control. Nice environment and really good food. Finish strong with the Tres Leches. It's sick. Awesome service from Cora. She took care of us and super cool

"Beef Fajitas are prime time! The green salsa here is spicy and amazing. The two things together are a pair that cannot be beat!"
Moe Dexler - 6.6
"In addition to the wild Brunch buffet, they tout the best Fajitas in town. They aren't wrong. HH from 3-6, with $3.99 margaritas too."
Brian P - 7.5
"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!"
