Best Cozy Restaurants in Mesquite

Once again, we had an incredible meal at Sister. Briana took great care of us and pointed out some of the newer items on the menu. We tried two of them (grilled mushrooms and the pepperoni cavatelli) and they were both delicious. And the crusted red fish was cooked to perfection. We love this restaurant. Since moving here from Chicago (foodie town), we’ve found that Sister always makes us feel that we still have access to amazing restaurants right here in Dallas.

4th time at Mot Hai Ba. My favorite Dallas restaurant. Fresh and savory flavors with the mix of Vietnamese and European cuisines. Some dishes can be spicy/hot. Shaking beef and garlic noodles are a must. Also recommend Kimchi and Gruyère Fritters, Kim Chi Foie Gras Dumplings. Very cozy ambience — it was a 1 story house converted into a restaurant — can feel a bit cramped. It’s part of the charm and intimacy. Mostly 2-4 tops. There’s one 6-top. Parking can be tricky.

Visited Mar Y Sol for date night and we had a great experience. Started off with drinks at the bar and asked for recommendations as it was our first time; we ended up going with the hibiscus dragon and the el sabio. Both were great! Once at the table, our server, Andrew, suggested the pulpo al carbon (octopus), the yellowtail ceviche ans the tuna tiradiro, the tuna was my favorite dish of the night!! We had the parillada Argentina for our main course, which is definitely intended to be shared. The meats were tender and the sauces were flavorful. Finished the night with the pina colada crème brûle, which was served in a pineapple, so creative! We let Andrew guide our order with his recommendations and we were not disappointed. He was extremely knowledgeable, which we appreciated as foodies! Lastly, the vibes were there! From the dj to the saxophone and bongos players who walked around the dinner room, it all reminded us of Tulum. Overall, we had a great night and we will definitely be back, 10/10!

The Best for the last 20 years. Highly recommended.

The food, ambience, and service are all fantastic. My only gripe is the dessert menu. You’d think they’d have more than milk and cookies and a lukewarm peach tarte considering how tasty the main dishes are.
