Sheyla ConcepcionFebruary 11, 2016The food is great! I had the flautas. They have amazing service. Great place to eat and drink margaritas at if you're ever in Deep Ellum.
Lee Ann WilliamsJuly 27, 2015Really liked this place. The cheese enchiladas in chipotle sauce was awesome! Very unique. Very different. My husband had the chimis and was not disappointed. This is a loud, fun place!
- Homemade flour tortillas, chips and hot sauce, queso, albondigas soup, tacos Nortenos, and chipotle enchiladas are their best dishes. These are facts.
Michael McMinnDecember 23, 2022Greta great little place in Deep Ellum for some authentic Mexican, not Tex-Mex, but a variety of great dishes from Mexican cuisine and culture.
KATIE GFebruary 15, 2016Chipotle wine sauce chicken enchiladas, in case you didn't pick up on that from other tips. Grab a table on the shaded patio when the weather is nice.
Dallas ObserverAugust 4, 2014The folks at the Dallas Observer are relieved and grateful that our favorite Deep Ellum lunch spot has reopened in bigger, sweeter digs a few blocks east of the old location on Elm Street. Read more
- EaterOctober 5, 2011We don't know if Pepe or Mito is responsible for the chipotle wine sauce at this Deep Ellum Tex-Mex institution, so we'll just thank them both for their enduring and delicious menu. [Eater 28 Member]
Jason KyleApril 6, 2015Great margaritas... My favorite on a hot day is the frozen sangria margarita with an extra shot of Grand Ma. 4 or 5 later, you won't care that it's 110 degrees out.
Best Tex-Mex anywhere. The sour cream chicken enchiladas should be illegal they're so good.
Norman EllisNovember 14, 2016Great spot! Highly Recommend. If visiting from out of town its only a $6 Uber ride from Downtown.
The chips and salsa are one of the best around. But don't fill up too much. Gotta save room for the taco nortenos!
AnielSeptember 1, 2012The enchiladas and draft beers are great combos. Try a different dish every time you visit, your tummy was be smiling!- Michael McMinnAugust 22, 2012Try the Tacos Norteños - Elijah saw this place in Diners, Drive-ins & Dives on @foodnetwork
Sherry SaccoccieJanuary 30, 2023Got the tacos Norteños because they were so highly recommended and I was not disappointed. Delicious and authentic.- Dallas ObserverOctober 30, 2013This Deep Ellum mainstay won last year's award for Best Tex-Mex in Dallas with homemade tortillas, great Margaritas, tacos and tamales.
Robert KFebruary 15, 2015The much hyped Tacos Nortenos were alright. Tortillas kind of lackluster. I actually much prefer the Chipotle Enchiladas, very unique and very good.
Margaritas during happy hour...best deal ever. I'm personally addicted to their tortilla soup but basically everything is muy bueno.
Sebastian GuerraDecember 28, 2014The cheese enchiladas were awesome! Especially with the chile con carne.
Clif CameronOctober 26, 2019First good sign in Mexican food is the sauce. Great sauce. Food was authentic. Service good.
Marion CipherOctober 21, 2012Great food & service! The tacos & enchiladas are amazing. I've never ordered anything I didn't like here.
Tahir KOctober 28, 2013Lovely place with a welcoming staff. They bought quarters out to the street to help me park.
ChicJune 21, 2014I'm not gonna say that Diego is a great waiter...wait...that's exactly what I'm gonna say. What a nice & helpful dude.
Sarah ZamoraNovember 16, 2013The list is behind the kitchen counter- (not the hostess stand in the front) don't stand around by the door waiting for a table or others will get in front of you.
