This is one of my favorite brunch places in Dallas (lived here for 11 years). Their coffee is amazing, free brunch cookies & all the food is so reasonably priced and delicious. Plus $1 mimosas! ❤️

BEST BRUNCH EVER. MOST AMAZING SERVICE EVER. Best food.. reasonable prices.. great specials. I mean I've lived in Dallas only a few weeks & I've driven out for this food on Sat/Sun every weekend.

Maracas Mexican Restaurant is foremost a comfortable neighborhood joint where laid-back diners of all ages celebrate birthdays and revel in weekly half-priced food and 75-cent margarita specials. Read more

Amazing chips and salsa... $1 mimosas on Saturdays and Sundays! Chicken fajitas are always good.

Saturdays $3 frozen margs and bloody marys and $1 mimosas. Thats cheaper than water folks! Ceviche is yummy. (shush dont tell anyone, but it is still monicas!)

The chicken fajitas were tasty and a good deal. Lots of tender chicken breast and grilled veggies. The food here has improved.

The lunch specials are yummy especially the Caldo de pollo. The queso dip is amazing.

Vegetarian enchiladas are so legit here . Ask for the tortilla soup vegan for an amazing starter

Really ridiculously good food and amazing live music.. Only downside is you can't hear anyone talk!

Cool spot. Bloody Mary's and Deep Ellum sandwich nice for a Sunday hangover.

U want a Rita that will floor you ? Ask for a "cochino" straight up! Good luck after three!

Great deal on Tuesday nights! Try the Main Street Special. Different and yummy!

Wired. Still tastes like Monica's. Tired. Carrying on a conversation in an echo chamber/The Grand Canyon/bottom of a well/empty grain silo/two cups attached by a string.

The ranch is soooo good! Ask it with chips people :)

The spinach enchiladas with chipolte sauce will make your life better.

Great service...make sure to get a punch card.

Mexican lasagna...yummmm!! Fun environment, but not the place for you if you're looking for a quiet Friday night dinner.
Jorge FloresOctober 14, 2012

Great happy hour & live bands...

Not very many people there on a Friday night. Which was unfortunate because the margaritas, chips, salsa, and guacamole were pretty good.

Yummy ceviche

Their watermelon margaritas are disappointing. Instead of actual watermelon purée, they use a sickly sweet artificial flavoring that is reminiscent of a jolly rancher. Bleh.
Emerson RJune 24, 2018
My tip is to not come here. Food is pretty bland and service is terrible.

Ugh....pass

Don't go when it's busy ever. First time ever we refused to pay for our food. Meat was raw.
