We absolutely loved Beto and Son. The food was amazing, the table side guac was fantastic, and we'd never seen (or heard of) liquid nitrogen margaritas before! Seeing those made tableside was quite the experience. But best of all, our waiter, Oscar, was amazing. He put up with us and our craziness and gave us a wonderful experience. I visited with work colleagues who were in town for a conference, but I will definitely be back with my friends or family as I live in Dallas.
