La Calle Doce (12th Street) has very good Tex-Mex and Mexican food. more on Yahoo! Travel

This cozy Mexican joint, in a modest old blue house in Oak Cliff, south of Dallas, has been one of the best home-style Mexican restaurants in the area for 25 years. more on Frommers

The food is tasteful and more or less has an idea of what Mexican food is suppose to taste like. more on Yahoo! Travel

Service was flawless and friendly. more on TripAdvisor

They also offer a nice variety of non-seafood Mexican fare, but their claim to fame is the fresh fish and shellfish dishes. more on Yahoo! Travel

Awesome shrimp cocktail, served in a parfait glass, spicy with cubes of avacado and plenty of cilantro. more on Yahoo! Travel

Everyone I bring, always bring someone else. They have got to have the best ceviche on the planet. And extremely potent margaritas. Yum. There is nothing bad here. I highly recommend the cod soup though. It's light and deliciously ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Disappointing- the dishes lacked flavor they charged us $2.50 for a 6oz kids orange juice because it wasn't included in the $6 kids meal! Service was slow much of the plate was covered in lettuce to distract from the small ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I would have to disagree with the last person who wrote a review. The food is tasteful and more or less has an idea of what Mexican food is suppose to taste like. Although the food may taste different at times because ... more on Yahoo! Travel
