Reviews for El Vecino Tex Mex in Dallas, TX
Stopped by for dinner; the place is clean and they had great music. They were very busy so the place was loud- but not the... annoying loud since we were able to hold a conversation with no issues. Our server was Victor, he was very attentive, despitethe dinner rush, kind and shared the chef?s specials without us asking (that?s a sign of a great server) The appetizers & foodcame out quick. We got queso and guacamole; both had good flavor. My boyfriend ordered the ?Carne Asada & Enchilada? and Iordered the Nonny?s Dinner. The carne asada was perfectly cooked and seasoned well and the chicken breast in my meal was juicy,tender and well seasoned/marinated. The sides were all good as well. They have an extensive margarita list; he ordered the ?ElCaliente? it was great- heavy on the tequila. The only thing I didn?t notice was a baby changing station. There were twodesperate bathrooms but the one I went into didn?t have one so I had to change my baby on the counter. Would definitelyrecommend and would definitely dine in again! Read more

Found El Vecino Text Mex after looking for a new spot to try on Sat. night. El Vecino is a lovely & colorful place situated in a... strip mall near White Rock Lake/Lake Highlands. Waited less than 20 mins. to be seated & served. Ordered the Brisket StreetTacos, Stuffed Crab Enchiladas & a Margarita. The food & drinks were so good! Their chips & salsa were even good. Willdefinitely add this spot to my list of favorites. Read more

This Tex-Mex restaurant is a fabulous little gem within the White Rock/Lake Highlands area my family loves coming to on most... Sundays! Our first visit was Nov 28, 21 and haven't tried anything new since! But before that, I've been noticing thisrestaurant for years when passing through everytime going or coming from the NorthPark and/or Mockingbird areas. I then figured,"if its been there this long, it's gotta be good." I then pulled up the pictures and reviews, here on Google maps, and becametempted. When my aunt lived in the Casa Linda area, she said she's eaten here a couple times and says they are very good andrecommended it to us before she moved. After all, it was a great find and we have been enjoying every visit since lastNovember. Everytime we enter, the hostess is very nice and welcoming as she asks "How many?" and when we are seated. As for thewait-staff, we've had the same waitress every visit. I still haven't gotten her name, but she is a very sweet lady who is veryattentive and always has a smile behind her mask. Which is good that the staff is following complete safety measures andprotocols during these uncertain times. But like our waitress, the entire wait-staff are very nice people and very helpful toone another in bringing customers their meals in excellent timing. The chips are awesome and super warm when brought out of thekitchen served served with their house salsas, red and green. Both are good, the green has a sweet and sour taste which is aninteresting taste, and the red is the perfect mild. (But have to say my favorite spicy salsa is Ojeda's) When the food isserved, the plates are made with excellent presentation and is served at the perfect temperature. Everything we've had has beendeliciously excellent! The brisket street tacos are the best I've had anywhere, enchiladas are made with authentic perfection,their Mexican stir fry is amazing and the Mexican lasagna is fulfilling! Still more plates to try... And their house coff Read more

It?s very close to White rock Lake an and off Buckner Blvd and North Cliff Drive.it?s been here for severalyears and although we haven?t been in the last year or two due to pandemic and such we went back again and the food, atmosphere,and service was all spectacular. This place is very family friendly with lots of families and lots of kids plenty of space andeverybody seems so relaxed. There is plenty of help and the servers are spot on. The food is fantastic, no matter what you getit?s really, really good. The drinks are good too. The salsa is especially good, and the green salsa, wow? it?s very citrusy andhas a bite to it but it taste so fresh, just love it, the red salsa is also excellent. On this night we got the fajitas andenchiladas. The beans were spectacular and tasty, the meat on the fajitas came out just smoking sizzling and it was so soft andflavorful. There are plenty of options to choose from, so no doubt you?ll find something wonderful to try. So it?s a really goodplace and carries a good vibe to it with all customers and staff.
