    Carlos Elegante is hands down the best meal and best scene going in Dallas. Mother's Day brunch was delicious. With the doors and widows open, the perfect weather and general vibe of the restaurant gives one an international vibe without the need to stamp your passport. Highly recommend. Sit at the bar and make new friends or grab a table with old friends.

    For the price level I was very disappointed! I decided to treat my wife for Mother’s Day and decided to take our 2 kids with us. I figured the the restaurant would be safe for kids. The night ended with a restaurant patron and server getting in an actual fist fight! I was shocked I would expect that in a bar or adult environment but not in a “upscale restaurant” I figure maybe they should adjust their pricing for the kind of bar fight my kids witness. The food was good but I felt it was way over priced for the portions. The drinks were good and server was great. I don’t think I would be going back with my family to this restaurant.
