Best Authentic Restaurants in Design District

Great food, great service, and great aesthetic! I really enjoyed dinner tonight and would definitely return!

Best night EVER celebrating 🩷Valentine’s at The Mexican👏🏻👏🏻 Here were a few of my favorite things about this place:) This atmosphere was BUMPING!! 🥳 Fun, energetic and very well managed! Waitstaff all very kind and helpful, they appeared to really enjoy being here!! Aisha was our AMAZING waitress. Very attentive, absolutely beautiful and treated us like we were family! The shrimp and steak fajitas were so delicious, and the margaritas were OMG next level!! And last but so important to me-bathrooms were very clean! I’d give The Mexican 💯 See you again, soon!

Delicious from start to finish. Smoked salmon and blinis, avocado toast with dark bread and poached egg, (used the remaining smoked salmon on top of that), followed by profiteroles and double espressos. Wish they had dessert crepes on the menu. It was pretty loud but in fairness there was a wedding shower happening at the next table with at least a dozen awkward chittering college(?) girls drinking a little too much. But it was fun and a real surprise to have such a delicious brunch. A definite must!

Our sever, Fernando, was absolutely amazing and all of the staff was so friendly. The food was delicious and cocktails were great. We loved coming back and brining a first time guest. We appreciated our visit and look forward to returning soon!

First off, great food and service. There are two valets, one for tango room and the other for carbone, we accidentally used the one for tango, but the valet didn’t make an issue of it and took the car anyways. Upon entering, there truly is no difference between carbone and vino other than limited menu and decoration. The “two different restaurants” are split by large potted / fake plants. I suppose the distinction allows for quicker service (for what is known as an already slow spot) either way the food was good. Bar is a typical mainstream bar. If you are a tequila aficionado, best they have is Lalo (from what I saw from my seat without getting up and studying the bar) and if you are reading this, 1942 and Clase Azul is NOT good tequila. But their wine list is expansive. If you’re in to that. We took a pizza to go for Super Bowl Sunday. Our waitress, who I think was named Mackenzie was amazing. And our bar back / second server was a Hispanic female that was also very attentive. Also, don’t let the “business casual” dress code listed fool you. There were people there with fresh off the golf course attire, men with By Way of Dallas bomber jackets and jeans / collar shirt throughout. Just don’t look messy and you should be fine getting in.
