ILiveInDallas.com: Try the elote (Mexican corn), it's yum, yum, in the tum, tum!
Oh Hey Dallas: Knock on the back door, hand them $20 and in a few minutes a whole rotisserie chicken, 2 cups of elotes, 6 tortillas and sauces will be in your hand.
Dallas Observer: The street corn is AWESOME!

Jason Shellhammer: Devilish cool vibe! Really liked that, and the drinks and such were high quality. It’s not cheap. Staff were cool and eclectic. Highly recommend.
Dustin Hollingsworth: Trendy bar and restaurant that uses ingredients imported from Oaxaca, Mexico. Enjoy their huge selections of agave drinks, stay for live music and try the churro waffles with horchata ice cream.
Mandy: josh back is the ginger bartender of your dreams

Tiff L.: Great cider selection and the Kung Pao Cauliflower was so surprisingly good!
Allison Kaminski: Super trendy and great for large groups! Guns up is my favorite drink. Get an array of apps, especially the cauliflower, loaded fries, wings and queso
Gonzalo Jorge: Great terrace!
💎Nadia Fern🌿 ⚾💙🔫🎉💁: Delicious cocktails! Small inside but a really cool spot if you can find a seat!
Laura L: Enjoyed the food. The space is small and tables are first come first serve according to most staff.. However, it appears that some of the servers will help you navigate the cluster or go early!
Lee Diaz: One of my Deep Ellum favorites. Incredible drinks, like the Bonnie & Clyde. Start with the Pulpo, then consider their burger (ask what the burger of the week is), and get the Spatzle as your side.

LJ Herman: Best Drinks in Uptown. Just tell them what you like and you won't be disappointed.
Oh Hey Dallas: The cheese plate is not to be missed - one of the most beautiful in dallas
Eater: This uptown spot is a breath of fresh air on McKinney Ave. Sip a Life & Death, champagne spiked with Aperol and absinthe, or try a shot of Dude, Sweet Chocolate-infused Rumpleminze.
Adam Langdon: Oh man. The food highlight of our time in Dallas. The banh mi that comes with broth makes it this amazing Vietnamese version of a French dip! Great rolls and try the spam musabi!
Laura M: Khanh & his friendly crew make food w/ love. Not traditional or pretentious, just yummy fresh ingredients. Add everything from condiment bar, including pickled red onions. Hey there is booze!

Yadira Cruz: Perfect combination fajita tacos, some chips with hot hot sauce, and an agua de horchata. (Rice watere) mmm..mm.mm yummy
Can't go wrong with fajita tacos on corn tortillas...onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lemon....and of course...the awesome salsa.
Erica Pasquale: Tacos de fajitas are the bomb! Horchatas are tasty too :)
