[Original] EN ESTE LUGAR HACEN LAS MEJORES PUPUSAS EN DLLAS FTWORTH. He probado las pupusas en diferentes restaurantes. Pero este lugar lo recomiendo,las pupusas y todo lo demás delicioso.“

“Delicious food, clean dining area, has cheap tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Always a good experience!“

“Me and my homeboy went to eat here. And booooy let me tell you. That food was amazing. I had some salsa that tasted just like something my mom would make. It felt like home. The staff was very friendly and a reasonable price for the food. I got full but the churros was calling my name and it was soooo worth the bloated feeling“

“Great good and nice people.“

“Excellent food great concept“

“Muy sabroso! Excellent food, fantastic service, great value!“

“The best food every single time we go there we devour our plates and leave nothing left. I would recommend this to anyone.“

“Very good lunch. Good friends and new acquaintances“

“Love the place but they took away the single nachos and gave me a pile of chips loaded with sour cream. The beef fajitas don’t stem like the same quality either. My advice is “do t cut corners and the place will always be packed. You have a good thing going! I’ll be back!!“

“The staff provided an exceptional experience, demonstrating both efficiency and courtesy, which contributed to a strong sense of being well-cared for. The bean soup is truly outstanding, complemented by the accompanying chips and salsa. I also thoroughly enjoyed the queso, finding it to be both rich and flavorful.

However, I must note that the chips and taco shells, which I believe are house-made, were quite firm. Several members of my dining party experienced discomfort due to their hardness. Consequently, I was unable to fully enjoy my tacos as much as I would have preferred due to the rigidity of the shells. Nevertheless, for those who appreciate a firmer texture, I would highly recommend them.

Regarding beverages, selecting the to-go drink option results in a considerably larger serving, so please be advised. Additionally, the lemonade is notably sweet, comparable to that offered by Chick-fil-A.“

“Although I still choke on spending $109+ for 2 of us at at Tex Mex place which is now the norm, this place is rock solid! Great quest, super fresh and generous portion on guacamole and best beef fajita meat I have ever had(asked for rare cook...and it actually came out rare!). Our server Jose could sell ice cubes to Eskimos! He was extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and there when we needed something. Beautiful space and perfect night for patio dining. Place was packed with beautiful UP/HP/PH crowd. Instant classic and top 3 in Dallas for Tex Mex!“

“We love Rafa’s! We dine here weekly, as this is our all time favorite Tex Mex. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Joe has been taking great care of us for over 25 years and provides the best service! He knows exactly what we want to order without us ever saying a word, even the extra serranos and all! It’s always great to be greeted by Sofie’s sweet smile. These guys are like family and are what make this place so special to us.“

“The food was amazing and so were the margaritas. We have found our new favorite Tex-Mex restaurant.“

“The food is extremely good and the service is very good.“

“The food here is always top notch! The salsa has good flavor while not being too hot. The chips are light and crisp. The tortillas are on point. The grilled onions and peppers are at the perfect level of doneness. The bean soup I add avacado to. It’s amazing. The verde sauce and sour cream sauce on the enchiladas are so good I get both. And the acoustic panels on the ceiling are essential in a brick and concrete space that is as busy as Ebar always is. Makes for a pleasant environment. 🤌“

“This recommendation is cut and dry. When a restaurant stays on your “places to go out and eat” list for more than five years, I can’t help but recommend it. Ojeda's-Dallas, thank you for the hospitality and for helping me celebrate birthdays, lunches, and all those “I don’t know what to eat” days. 😎 If I had to recommend a dish, it would be the shredded chicken chimichanga with queso, rice, and beans.“

“La Calle Doce is a gem! We went for Friday lunch and loved everything—the cozy, beautifully maintained old house, peaceful vibe, and excellent service. I had the lunch special with fish soup and a ceviche tostada, and my husband had the salmon salad. Both were incredible, and the spicy ranch waters were a fun bonus. Some of the best food I’ve had in Dallas—can’t wait to go back!“

“Amazing my favorite place to eat“

“Wonderful! Get there as soon as you can!“

“Great food, atmosphere and always exceptional hospitality!“

“Great local restaurant, not a chain, not fancy, just great food and service“

“Its our new go to place for superb food. The name may imply Mexican food but it is anything but ordinary. Filet mignon is excellent. But lets not forget the creativity of a shelled avocado stuffed with lump crabmeat. Drinks excellent as well. Give it a go.

Update: April 24th.
Service , drinks and food completely off point. Not sure what happened. Had to cancel appetizer due to long wait, wrong drinks served and Tapas( small) style portions given at dinner
Kitchen obviously new based on plate presentation given our numerous visits. Management nowhere to be found. We may not return.

9/2026 They addressed my above review and our last visit was spot on. The fact they addressed my poor review and made it right speaks to the integrity of the business and manager. We will return in the future assuming the bad experience was simply a bad day.“

“Our server was Joli aka Stormy. This was my first time a this restaurant. Stormy was absolutely amazing. She was so pleasant, so kind, she made us feel as though we were her only customers and that she was there just for us. I will certainly come back…also the food is delicious!!! Fantastic customer service Stormy!“

“I had my 47 th birthday dinner here today!! As always the service and food was amazing!!e“

“We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The Garden Room was absolutely beautiful, and the food and service were exceptional.

A special thank you to Lena, who guided us through every step of the planning process and ensured every detail was perfectly arranged. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail helped make the event seamless and truly memorable.

Thank you, Via Real, for such a wonderful experience! We will be seeing you again real soon.“

“Had a great date lunch with my husband today at this Mi Cocina location. There was no wait and we were seated in a great booth. Jose, our waiter, was amazing and made sure our drinks were flowing and chips never empty. We will definitely be back for a date lunch away from our tiny human!“

“Torchy’s Las Colinas is the best location. The staff feels like family! But I would like to give a shout out to Liseth! She’s efficient and energetic.“

“Bandito’s Tex Mex Cantina is honestly my new fav place to eat frfr ✌. I pulled up not even that hungry and the Wagyu steak still had me absolutely cooked, it was straight up bussin and lowkey clears any steakhouse in Dallas, maybe even the whole world ngl 😭🥩. The steak is real deal meat, super soft and juicy, not that sus fake stuff, and it doesn’t taste like it’s loaded with a bunch of preseratives or weird chemicals, just mad fresh and flavorful, kinda feels like a “healthy” cheat meal lowkey 😋👌. All the food was gas, my family was gatekeeping their plates but we still kept stealing bites cuz it was too good 😭🍽. The workers were chill and actually on it, vibes inside were kinda loud but in a good way, like perfect spot to pull up with the squad and just chill, so yeah Bandito’s Tex Mex Cantina is a 5‑star no debate, they ate with that Wagyu and left no crumbs😭✌“

“We just love the food, the service and the friendly atmosphere. They’re very vegetarian friendly, and will even make food vegetarian. Some of the best Oaxaca nachos ever!!“

“Nice patio. Expensive for average food. Dog friendly patio. My salad was $17 without protein (romaine was the only lettuce).“

“Today you guys really helped me out when my car broke down!! I appreciate you letting me and my baby wait while our car got fixed! Very, very nice people!! Thank you again!“

The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Hope was fantastic, and we absolutely loved her! We will definitely be back.“

“One of the best by far Fuzzy’s in DFW. Food is great. I usually get the fajita veggies or fajita beef salad. Very delicious. Great atmosphere great customer service great manager. I’ve seen several parties here and a lot of people have a good time and enjoy the drinks either on the patio or inside. A must check out.“

“Pretty good place... I'll go back again...“

“Today I had the best experience. I love coming to eat here. The Food is always good the customer service is very good. Today I had two encounters with Jarad and the Manager Desmond who made sure me and my family was well taken care of. Today was very busy when I came in but was greeted right away, there was a small wait time but once I was seated everything came out right away. The food was fresh and Hot. Desmond came over to my table to see how my visit was and I let him know great as usual. Please if you go to this location ask for Jarad and Desmond.“
