Overall Rating: 8.5/10
- Another good Mexican restaurant to add to your list! Let’s start off with the chips and salsa. It was absolutely fire. Every thing is handmade and every thing has a great Smokey flavor. When chips and salsa are homemade and good you know the Mexican food is gonna be good.
- The chicken Al pastor tacos were SO good and actually pretty spicy! I definitely finished off my plate it was so good. The green rice and cabbage were chefs kiss.
- Okay, so my mom’s Carolina adobo had amazing flavor from the chicken to the vegetables. HOWEVER, the chicken was pretty dry… and the vegetables were extremely oily. Like I said the flavors were great but I don’t think a great effort was put into these dishes. I would recommend trying something else.
- Flavor profile here is immaculate. The venue is beautiful and large. The service was okay, our server was kind of passive aggressive and not really welcoming but I assume he just wanted to go home lol.

Ambiance, staff, cleanliness & food 10/10. Thelma was our server and she was amazing. Helpful for recommendations & very attentive. Texas has very very limited good true Mexican food and this is a great upscale Mexican restaurant. We got the carne asada nachos, carnita tacos & verde pollo enchilladas. Everything was delicious. Their verde sauce is an absolute must!!! It came with green rice & black beans (which they are great with switching out sides)
The asada was perfectly cooked tender. Fresh ingredients. 2nd time visiting this place, will definitely be back!

Upscale in taste and presentation only - reasonably priced. Great porch and open air seating with good ventilation. Loved the shrimp tacos in corn tortillas. Good cocktail selection. Very attentive wait staff. We'll be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining here and it was truly a fantastic experience. The restaurant's employees were exceptionally friendly, going out of their way to make me feel welcome and attended to. They were attentive, helpful, and created a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Now, let's talk about the food. It was simply outstanding! The flavors were exquisite, and the attention to detail in the preparation was evident. Each bite was a delightful surprise, leaving me thoroughly satisfied.
Overall, it was a memorable experience. The friendly employees and their exceptional service added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. The incredible food, prepared with skill and care, surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking both friendly hospitality and amazing cuisine.

When I left the house this morning, I asked a few neighbors if we were still in Dallas. The weather had changed so drastically overnight that I couldn't believe it.
Shadow and I headed out for a morning walk, Deana headed to Pilates, and we would meet later in the Know Henderson area for lunch.
Sun shining with a nice breeze made it a perfect outing. I ran a few errands, and then we headed off to Knox Street and were floored with all the people out and about. We found parking and made our way down Travis to find Deana, and then the three of us searched for something new to eat.
We decided to try Doce Mesas because of its outdoor patio seating area and healthy food choices. It was the perfect place for Shadow. He had a great view of all the action happening while we ate.
Deana and I decided on the Taco Salads, one with beef and one with shredded chicken. It was the perfect blend of greens with a light avocado vinaigrette dressing. After seeing some on another table, I also had some guacamole- you can even go wrong with Guac.
Shadow- I highly recommend Doce Mesas, and if you decide to bring your humans along, they will like it, too.

Elevated Mexican food. Great atmosphere and the margaritas were good as well. I would go back again. And there was a birthday party and they were dancing on the chairs....alot of fun!

Great atmosphere and great food. Limited cocktail menu but all quality tequila based cocktails. The fish of the week is fun and delicious. I had the Redfish, and it was cooked to perfection. Please stop in for a classy , lite atmosphere.

This is a great location just off the main busy street. It's perfect for a date, especially if you sit on the patio on a warm breezy day. It is also a great place for brunch/lunch during a break from shopping. The alley seating looks ideal for couples. Be mindful that the waitstaff uses that pathway to go back and forth.
The menu has ample variety without overkill. The dishes we had were delicious and presented well: sopa, guacamole, and enchiladas. The staff is attentive. It is a quaint and cozy restaurant. I'll definitely revisit and bring others. A relaxed boutique restaurant, a true gem...

The waitress was kind and attentive. The ceviche was filling with great taste. My husband favored the white enchiladas the most.
We had a very sweet spontaneous date here.

We had a wonderful dinner at Doce Mesas out on their front deck. Food was great and our server Johana was just awesome! She was so attentive and always had a pleasant smile on her face even though it was quite warm outside.

Love this place. It's very upscale looking inside but you can dress casually. Food it too notch. Have been a few times. Loved everything I have gotten. I really praise the brisket tacos. They have a jalapeno relish....it deserves a chef's kiss for sure. They also serve a Strawberry tres leches that is the creamiest, most delicious tres leches I've had in years. Makes you want to eat the whole cake. Last time I got the chicken Pineapple tacos and they were amazing. I preferred the brisket though.

I was taken completely by surprise when I shared a lunch here with good friends. I checked out this place online and thought, "Oh, another ho hum TexMex place." Boy, was I wrong!! The ambiance is exceptional, as is the food and service. The chips and salsa were over the top, as was the guacamole. I enjoyed the chicken Mole enchiladas, and I have never tasted Mole like theirs. We also tried both deserts, the flan and their tres leches cake, and both were phenomenal!! Definitely check this place out!!

Went here for brunch and the food and drinks were amazing !! The bartender made some great drinks and the tacos were so good!! The menu does not state Gluten Free options, but the staff were aware and knowledgeable, they advised me of what could safely be prepared.

Beautiful cute spot .
The margaritas were awesome . I feel in love with the chile relleno of shrimp !!
We order the composted #4 the enchilada was good . But the Brisket taco was 3 star the tortillas was super cold and hard and a lot of oil . Chips and salsa were so good !!! Definitely recommend making reservation for weekends.

Small, unassuming spot in McKinney area. Upscale feel right from the start. Service could be a little faster but was very friendly. Best Margaritas around. And the Chile Relleno was the best ever... highly recommend. I had the grilled cod... DELICIOUS. Overall best bang for your buck in a high-end setting.

Great local spot for lunch or dinner. Drinks are the best! We try to come in early as it can get packed. And maybe you can tell by the name, there is not much room so it gets packed. They do have a nice patio area and the see ice is great no matter where you sit. Haven’t been? You gotta try it out and have a Doña to cool off in the Texas heat!

Dos Mesas is a hidden gem. Second experience and I’ve enjoyed it immensely both times. The food is excellent, prices are very reasonable, and the service is prompt and professional. Additionally, the margaritas are good. Pictured is the “catch of the day,” which was grilled Redfish. And the #5 enchiladas. Both great meals.
