   The decor and ambiance is amazing. The drinks are fantastic. Salsas were fun and different with plenty of heat and flavor. The food not so much. The guac divorciado was good. The Chicharron De Ribeye was a few chunks of meat on a bed of guac which isn’t quite what we were expecting. The crispy pork belly was rubbery and chewy. Queso fundido was a glob of cheese in a tortilla. Not even melty like a quesadilla, just kinda there. The best things at the table were the American Wagyu a la roca and the scallops and camarones. We had two orders of spinalis ordered medium rare that came out rare/blue. The Asparagus was amazing and the bone marrow was not.

   Overall, the experience was very good. I’d likely go back again, however, in making my reservation I will be much more mindful of the seating options that I was given. My reservation was for standard seating in the bar. I wish I would’ve paid a little more attention and taken seating in the dining room as it would’ve been much more quiet.

   Danny, yes The Polanco Room and Las Flores can be a bit more tame!

   This is some of the best Mexican food in Dallas. The margaritas are very authentic and the selection of dishes unique.

   Everything was fantastic. And our waiter, Sosa, was awesome. He was engaging, funny and super nice. I’ll definitely ask for him next time we eat there

   Had reservation. Sat 30min later. Told we couldnt order appetizers first and had to order all food together. Ordered octopus, beef enchiladas, and shrimp tacos. Every piece of meat was dry and overcooked. Valet understaffed but at least allowed me to retrieve my own car which i appreciate. This place has ridden it’s hype and attracts a crowd but no longer values quality or service, especially at a steep price.

   The service was great, the cocktails were fun & delicious. That’s where the good review ends. Filet was sent back twice and still purple in the middle, but we appreciate that they comped that dish. Pork Belly Appetizer was only okay, filet & bone marrow tacos left MUCH to be desired. Sat on the patio, it was all very loud with parties screaming over the loud music. Lots of management presence, but server was the only one to apologize for the meal disappointments. It came highly recommended, but unfortunately did not deliver on most aspects of a nice dinner. Not to mention, three reminders, after the initial email to confirm the reservation about the importance of the dress code… seems a bit overkill, especially for some of the outfits we saw while we were there. We aren’t from Dallas, but we shared the review with locals, and sounds like the hype isn’t worth the experience for most. Hate to leave a bad review, but an honest one was warranted in this case.

    The service was excellent. The atmosphere was live and electric! The food was delectable! We had a party of seven and our server did not miss a beat! I would recommend and I will definitely be returning!
