Fantastic Food, But Beware the Valet Scam
The restaurant itself was excellent—delicious food, fantastic service, and a gorgeous ambiance. I was really looking forward to the evening. However, the valet company they work with is incredibly shady. I parked just down the street (in a clearly

Best table in town
We've been regulars here for over two years now. First thing to take note of is the level of hospitality at this DURO Group concept is above and beyond any other establishment. That is, they are very kind and welcoming, even if you find yourself

I was visiting my sister in Dallas and she has always raved about this restaurant, so of course it was at the top of my list. I'm so glad she took me! I was also meeting her boyfriend for the first time, so when we got seated in a semi-private r
Amazing overall experience at El Carlos Elegante last night.
As soon as you walk in, the mood is set. The ambiance is both trendy and homey at the same time which is wonderful. The service throughout the night was top notch; I read about the great service in the reviews, and is absolutely true. Everyone was we
Food surpassed our expectations.
Caesar salad and charred octopus .. wow. Carne asada was well seasoned and so tender. The machete was delicious and very different. Great experience. Service was outstanding. Lively place and the staff was happy. This restaurant is a keeper.
We came for our anniversary.
Reservations got unaligned but they did an amazing job of making it right! I would come back again for the food and the service! Top shelf all the way round And recommend the Carlitos Marg!

Went to El Carlos for DFW restaurant week! Ambiance-wise the restaurant is super dark inside, when the food comes out you need go pull out a light if you want to fully see the details, colors, etc. Ambiance aside, while we got water and the complim

We had such a great experience last night at El Carlos Elegante. Our server gave recommendations and seemed knowledgeable about the menu however many of the dishes we were excited about were sold out. If you are sure you're going to sell out of

The best Mexican restaurant in town, the staff is super friendly, nice and friendly. Never disappointed, i honestly recommend it
Pro-tip: Make a reservation.
With recent increase in popularity due to michelin-recommendation, it will be best to make a reservation. All staff, from host, to front of house (including bartenders and manager) and to back of house, it's clear that they want you to enjoy y
I visited my sister and she took us here for a nice night
I visited my sister and she took us here for a nice night out. The place looks great. Loved the vibe and music. Service was excellent. My favorite bite of the night was the brisket - it was so juicy and tender. Too bad it's so small but worthy.
Rocking playlist, fabulous menu stems to stern, lovely
Rocking playlist, fabulous menu stems to stern, lovely mezcal menu, great service, beautiful decor. Lovely for a couple at the bar but a great place to celebrate something, anything. Highly recommend the key lime dessert!!
EXCEPTIONAL!!
We were a large group of about 18 people celebrating a family members college graduation from SMU. We were in a reserved room for such occasions. We had the Chef's tasting menu of about 10 or more courses and each course was truly outstanding wi
Dinner adventure
Truly a Mexico City cuisine restaurant. Creative dishes made in traditional styles with a twist. The meats are perfectly cooked and juicy. Everything was so flavorful. We were excited about every dish. We’ll eat here every visit. Extensive tequila
Christmas Eve to remember!!
Wow, what a great surprise for our Christmas Eve dinner. Absolutely amazing food and fantastic service. Excellent experience on all levels.
Such a great meal at El Carlos Elegante!
Excellent meal and everything we had was delicious. We tried the crab claws, el machete, and carne asada and loved it all. The waiter made great suggestions and the service was impeccable.
Warm white wine put a damper on the meal
really wanted to like this place. Staff was very nice. Food is excellent. There is nothing on the menu if you are sensitive to spicy food. I ordered a bottle of white wine. It was not cold at all when the sommelier served it. I asked if there was a c
A Dallas restaurant that is both delicious and beautifully
A Dallas restaurant that is both delicious and beautifully decorated! Our waiter, Luis, was very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. We got the machete and pastor pork- both amazing! I'm excited to come back
Honestly, amazing food.
I was pleasantly surprised with the nice service. Food was served for about 15 minutes and its good. Crab Croquette is one of my fav. Will be back to try some other dishes soon.
I loved the interior and vibe of the restaurant.
It was intimate and cozy. We started off with one hitters which is basically appetizer but one per person which was an interesting but nice concept. I had the brisket which has a blast of different flavors. For main course we ordered pork al pasto
Beautiful restaurant and amazing service.
For me, the food was a miss unfortunately. The stone crab claws were delicious, the Surf and Turf and Okra and Shishitos were so salty to the point where we couldn't finish them. The squash tetela didn't have much flavor. For the price, we left a bit

Down in the design district, and a bit hidden, this spot is cozy Mexico City charm. The bar area is intimate and the dining is divided into separate areas to keep that quaint and cozy feel. Food: omg the chicken. Absolutely delicious and juicy in a
Excellent ambiance and service.
I sat at the bar and Devonte served... lucky me. He was entertaining, attentive and gives the extra mile. Food wise, I had the surf and turf beef tartare with caviar and the chicken mole.... Both were absolutely delicious!

A friend recommended El Carlos Elegante as their new favorite Mexican spot, so I went in with really high expectations. For starters, we got the Surf & Turf and Brisket, which were truly one bites. Our waiter said the Surf & Turf was one of

Amazing food and amazing service! Best waiter (Bryce was incredible!) and staff. This was one of the better dining experiences we've had in Dallas in many years.
Extremely pleased patrons
Absolutely wonderful! The food was authentic Mexican. We tried and shared many items between the four of us and nothing disappointed. Our waiter was knowledgeable and orchestrated a wonderful dining event.
Feeling hungry!
Ambience nice. Drinks decent. Food selection, portion size, flavour, value for money way below par. Would not go back unless alone or with intimate partner. Service flow very disjointed. Family sharing plates were a joke, not more than one bite e
Good food but suspicious charges on the bill
I suggest you avoid this restaurant. This was going to be a 4-star review. The food was delicious and the main room was beautifully lit and had a nice vibe (sadly the back room we were in was sort of a sad, dreary space with nowhere near the warmth)

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with El Carlos Elegante Dallas. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to El Carlos Elegante Dallas at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the El Carlos Elegante Dallas page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FatherlyCountry16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FatherlyCountry16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FatherlyCountry16 for any questions Peter may have as FatherlyCountry16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FatherlyCountry16 now uses their connections at El Carlos Elegante Dallas to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FatherlyCountry16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FatherlyCountry16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FatherlyCountry16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at El Carlos Elegante Dallas!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
