Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in South Oak Cliff

Wonderful experience!! Friendly & warm greeting, quick service & excellent food!!!! The staff created an environment that made us feel relaxed so we could take our time visiting & enjoying our food! Guacamole was amazing and spinach cheese enchiladas were out of this world!!! It’s worth your time to try this incredible restaurant!!

Another great meal and experience at El Carlos Elegante! We started with cocktails, Cherry Moon and Negroni Cafe, and both were great. The one-hitters, Surf + Turf and Brisket, were exceptional. Don’t miss those two! The Salmon Ceviche and Okra + Shishitos were spot on as usual. We rounded out our meal with a hand-made masa, Chorizo Molotes, which was delicious. Nice crunch on the masa, stuffed with chorizo and refried beans and served with warm salsa roja. The atmosphere was cozy and festive at the same time. To add to the fun, the restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays. We’ll definitely be back. A “go-to” restaurant for us. The food and service never disappoints.

Fun place with a cool vibe, awesome tacos, and clever cocktails! Attentive service and not over the top expensive. Loved it!

Good service, tasty food! Menu is simple and restaurant is casual, but very good. Will definitely come back!

This is our favorite place after work. Food is always great and can’t beat the happy hour. Also, the staff? Phenomenal. Will continue to be our after work spot.
