About The Mexican Dallas

Upscale modern Mexican in the heart of Dallas

The Mexican Dallas brings a sophisticated, chef-driven approach to Mexican cuisine. The kitchen draws from regional Mexican traditions -- Yucatan cochinita pibil, Oaxacan mole negro, Mexico City-style street tacos -- while applying fine-dining technique and premium local ingredients. The result is a menu that respects the depth of Mexican culinary heritage without being bound to a single regional style.

The bar program is a genuine highlight: a rotating mezcal list spanning espadin to tobala expressions, single-estate tequilas, and house cocktails built around the spirits rather than masking them. The tableside guacamole program has become the restaurant's most recognizable ritual.

Ordering tips

How to make the most of your visit

Start here

Order the tableside guacamole

It is the restaurant's most talked-about dish for good reason -- ask for it extra spicy if you like heat. It is vegan and gluten-free and makes an ideal shared starter.

Go deep on mole

Try the mole negro

House mole negro is a multi-day preparation -- dried chiles, dark chocolate, spices and time. It is rarely done well at casual places; here it is the real thing. Order the chicken mole entree or the mole negro enchiladas.

Bar program

Ask about the mezcal flight

If you have never tried mezcal, the three-pour flight with tasting notes is the best introduction. The staff can walk you through espadin vs. tobala and seasonal expressions.

Taco order

Mix your taco selection

Tacos are served street-style in groups. Mix proteins -- one carne asada, one carnitas, one hongos for the table -- to cover the range of the kitchen's technique.

Reservations

Book ahead for dinner

Upscale Dallas dining rooms fill on weekends. Check themexicandallas.com for reservations. Walk-in bar seating is often available.

Dessert

Save room for tres leches

House-baked and soaked to order. The cajeta (goat's-milk caramel) version is the one to get. Split it -- it is rich.
