Our Guestbook
“ The restaurant is right across Omni hotel. It's a small cute restaurant tucked in with other stores in the block. We had a really helpful waiter who went through all the menus with us and what the difference between each enchiladas were since I wasn't sure which one I wanted to order, and what was popular at the restaurant. We had flautas for appetizers and it was crispy and delicious, it was hot that we knew it came right out of the fryer. The enchiladas were also cheesy and delicious. My friend also enjoyed the steak fajitas as well. I wouldn't say it's the best Mexican restaurant I've had but the flavors were there and would definitely recommend it. ”
“ Although I didn't grab a picture of my food, I did grab a picture of the ice cream!! This place was amazing!! Authentic & fresh! Every staff member was friendly & kind! If you're second guessing going here, don't!!! ”
“ The restaurant is very cute right across from the Omni valet entrance. The food was good, we didn't know what to expect because of the mixed reviews. When we got there, there was only one other table occupied, so we thought our service would be good, however we didn't get lucky there. We had to constantly look for our server, for water refills, to order, for our check...pretty much for everything. Service was a disappointment, but the food was good, which is why I am giving them 4 stars. ”
“ Cafe Herrera is another restaurant located next to the Omni, and as I understand it Omni owns this place as well. I appreciate them having a variety of dining options for guests. We stopped in for lunch and ordered the shrimp enchiladas which comes with rice & beans and the chicken tinga nachos. The nachos are huge and more like tostadas, which our server did inform us. The enchiladas were tasty and so were the rice & beans. What I appreciated the most was that the food/plate was piping hot. You know how sometimes you go to a restaurant and the plate is hot but not the food? Yeah yall know what I'm talking about. I don't even know how that happens. Besides the point here though. I was informed that the nachos were just okay, but they cured the hunger. The service was lovely and we received a generous discount for the birthday girls special day. If nothing else, Omni and the restaurant staff know how to treat their guests. The vibe is chill, very casual and what's to be expected at a Tex-Mex eatery. I would absolutely return. ”
“ In Dallas for a conference at Kay Bailey. There's a parking garage in walking distance, but they are across from the Omni. Service was good. My server was prompt and attentive, even when it was crowded. It's not a big restaurant. I ordered the fajitas and they did not disappoint. The gauc is also very tasty and well seasoned. If you are staying at the Omni or any nearby hotel, I recommend. They open at 11am so if there is a large convention, I suggest getting there right at that time. ”
“ Had some tasty drinks here! Great location by the Omni with a separate parking garage which is super needed downtown. The restaurant will validate parking. You can't go wrong with the queso fundito! ”
