An incredible experience. We had the tasting menu which was delicious, well timed, and more than filling. We had great service and the cocktails were delicious. Would highly recommend. Very reasonable price point.

TJ was the best server I’ve experienced in a very long time, maybe ever. Food was insanely fantastic and very vegetarian friendly. Will definitely come again next time I’m in town

Amazing everything. My favorite Mexican in Dallas now. Their take on ceviche was the perfect amount of spice and earthiness blended with ceviche. Duck confit dish was perfect. No where else in Dallas are they doing maza the same way as them, so much flavor.Great service, very cool atmosphere though a little dark.My only note for the chef is the key lime needs a little more balance, a bit too tart imo but a great idea. We will be back regardless

I visited this restaurant with my in-laws who were in town, and it exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the cocktails were exceptional. I'm already looking forward to returning and would highly recommend it to others.

Came here with a group of gals on a Sunday evening and we had an amazing time! There’s parking available but they do offer valet. They accept RSVPs but we were able to walk in and a table was available. The customer service from the time we arrived until we left was immaculate! Our waiter answered questions thoroughly and recommended the best options for us.I ended up ordering a Gran Manzana due to the Buffalo Trace Bourbon as it’s my favorite. The drink was so delicious I ordered another one! Would definitely recommend trying it out. For food, I ordered a Surf + Turf one hitter and it was an amazing small bite to get you started with your meal! I then ordered the Carne Asada (medium) and this was definitely a great choice. The meat was tender - juicy and it came with corn tortillas and nopales. The salsa for this dish was delicious was well! I also sampled the Pork Al Pastor, Duck Confit, and Tijuana Caesar and they all were equally as good as my order!Overall, I would definitely return to try out more of their food items and drinks. This was a really good experience!

EL CARLOS!!! I was completely amazed with the menu the drinks the service from start to finish. This is place is Amazing so on Point! A must GO! @elcarloseleganteand the Best waitress!! @azusilsalgado
My recent dining experience at El Carlos Elegante was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted warmly by Luis, our server for the evening. It was immediately apparent that he is not just passionate about his job but genuinely loves what he does. His enthusiasm and knowledge about each dish added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience, making him stand out as one of the best servers I've ever encountered.Opting for the "Elegante experience" was a decision I'll never regret. Every dish that graced our table was a masterpiece in its own right. The cauliflower, in particular, was a revelation – perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. It's rare to find a vegetable dish that leaves such a lasting impression, but El Carlos Elegante managed to exceed expectations effortlessly. The Carne Asada was another highlight of the evening, tender and flavorful, it was a true delight for the senses.The portion sizes were generous, to say the least, and we found ourselves indulging in a feast fit for royalty. Despite the abundance of food, not a single dish disappointed. The quality and attention to detail were consistent throughout the meal, a testament to the skill and dedication of the kitchen staff.This was my first time at El Carlos Elegante, and my fiancé chose this place to celebrate our anniversary. It was indeed a memorable choice, and the ambiance of the restaurant, coupled with the exceptional service and delectable cuisine, made our anniversary celebration truly unforgettable.In conclusion, El Carlos Elegante offers a dining experience that is unparalleled. From the impeccable service provided by Luis to the exquisite flavors of each dish, every aspect of our visit exceeded expectations. Whether you're a seasoned food enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, I cannot recommend El Carlos Elegante highly enough. It's a true gem in the culinary landscape, and I eagerly look forward to my next visit.

Duck conflit and cauliflower were outstanding. Inviting and romantic atmosphere. Good location in the design district.
I cannot rave about this place enough! Tried it for the first time last week and was completely blown away by the hospitality and food. Chris was an excellent server and remembered each of our names. Highly recommend the Elegante experience - the chef is extremely talented and ensured we enjoyed our dishes. Not to mention the margaritas are incredible! Give this place a try!

Super vibey with great food & drinks.I loved the ambiance (we were outside on the patio) perfect afternoon weather.Faves:Salmon Ceviche - super fresh, balanced acidityDuck Confit Tlacoyo - loved the crunch and sauce combo married well with the duck insideWe had other dishes but nothing that stood out as much as the two I listed above. Some of the sauces came across a bit salty for me. Overall, a good experience. The server was very knowledgeable and explained every dish.
