FOOD INSTAGRAM: @NORTHTX.GEMZ •••• 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: not sure, I just always saw it passing by on the highway near the galleria/north Dallas and my boyfriend recommended it after trying it with his friend! 🍒 THE VIBE: surprisingly very classy inside. I would recommend this as a good first date/date night place. Recommend going when there’s good weather because the patio outside seating is very beautiful. 🍒WHAT WE ORDERED: • Chicken Al Pastor Tacos • Carolina Chicken Adobo 🍒 PRICE: ~$45 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. •••• 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.

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!!

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.

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!
