Below is a list with a quick review of each of the best Dallas Mexican & Tex-Mex restaurants and what makes them special. I’ve sampled and frequented these places often since moving to Dallas five years ago, each for different reasons, so I feel they are consistent with what they offer.  There is something special about the way these particular places mix these. Each have their own special dish I’ve tried to highlight below.

Pepe’s & Mito’s Mexican Cafe – Their Wine Chipotle Enchiladas make cheese taste like a delicacy fit for a king. (no website) Yelp

Manny’s Tex-Mex Restaurante – Great tortilla chips, cool patio, and cheese tacos to dye for. website.

Mattio’s Cafe Mexicano – Amazing all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet and bottomless mimosas for Sunday brunch. Inexpensive beef fajitas for lunch. website

Desperados Mexican Restaurant- This place has the best value for beef fajitas in town. They don’t charge extra for cheese, guacamole, or extra corn tortillas.  website

El Fenix – The fastest and best service when you’re in a rush.  El Fenix is also very inexpensive.  website
