    Everything about our dinner was excellent! The food (OMG THE FLAVORS!), the service, the ambiance! I don’t recommend many restaurants to people (you know, people have very different tastes) but this place is on my list of recommendations for sure. If you are a foodie, it’s a must.

    The food and service were wonderful. We’re from Mexico and we loved the modern twist on authentic Mexican food. Definitely would go back! Only thing is that it’s really noisy; if you want a quiet dinner space for more conversation, you’ll be surprised by the noise level. It’s lively, the food is great and we loved it.

    This restaurant is amazing - some of the best food from the Mexico interior that you will find in Dallas. This is not Tex-Mex, no chips and salsa or enchiladas here. The food consists mostly of meats and seafood and the sauces are the star - with levels of flavor from different chiles used so that you taste the depth of the sauce first and only after you appreciate the flavor, do you feel any heat. They pride themselves on their masa, which results in wonderful tortillas and chips to accompany certain items, but you can ask for extras and they are great with everything. They have a masa section with the choice of fillings encased in masa. The el Machete was delightful and one of our favorites. We ordered a lot - you are encouraged to share - and you will be glad you did because you get to try several dishes instead of just one. We loved everything we tried. The service was great, every dish that is served is accompanied by the server’s description of what’s on the plate. Everyone there is helpful if you have any questions. This would be a great special occasion place, especially if you love traditional Mexican food. We had a really lovely evening there. I can’t wait to go back!

    For being a chef in the industry, the staff went above and beyond to help make an unbelievable experience. Food was top notch, and the service was stellar. Would definitely suggest anyone to check this place out for the love of Mexican cuisine.
