Best Family Style Restaurants in Turtle Creek / Oak Lawn

I visit Dallas twice every year. El Carlos Elegance has been a regular for me the past 3 years. I eat there EVERY time I'm in Dallas. The service, drinks, and food are truly fabulous. A diamond of a Mexican restaurant. Tequila is their thing. The mezcal margaritas are amazing. Attention to detail is the signature for their food. This is a must experience restaurant. Very highly recommended. But book ahead if you're eating 7pm -9pm. It's busy!

This was my first time to go to the Mexican and what a great experience. This was a business dinner with some new clients during the home furnishings market. It’s close to the market center so it made it very convenient. The food and service are fantastic. This definitely won’t be my last time to dine in there.

Excellent first experience. Tried their $39 3-course lunch special and it was delicious! We had the meat sushi, salmon tartare, herb salmon, wagyu burger and cheesecakes, all on point and tasty. They also treated us to Turkish coffee. Definitely coming back.

Food was wonderful ambience was beautiful and Christian the manager and Brodie one of the servers were exceptional . I had the pear cocktail that was on happy hour and my boyfriend had the Negroni. I also had a glass of the Pinot Noir that was for happy hour and also the rosé Prosecco was absolutely delicious. We had the fettuccine Bolognese and the bruschetta. shrimp cocktail appetizer was just OK for the price but very good for the taste 

The team that works at this establishment take pride in their craft and it shows. The service, food and ambiance was divino. My only regret was not taking photos of the items but I was in the moment. I believe Kyle was our server and he exceeded our expectations. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in town.
