When we are in town visiting relatives this is our favorite Tex-Mex. Whether takeout or eat in, the food is always excellent. A diverse, broad and creative selection of both standard and dishes special to Desperados.The service is fast and attentive, handing even large groups of our family smoothly. And the way they are setup to handle takeout is impressive.

We love this place. My wife and I have been dining at Desperados since they opened on Greenville Avenue back in 1976 IIRC. So having Desperados Dos in our neighborhood is a good thing. We love dining here and typically are in at least once a week. Thursday's is our favorite as the desperados tacos are the special that night- $10.99 for chicken, $12.99 for beef.Service is usually very good. We have had an off night here and there. Everyone has those days. I can usually overlook it. We have another couple we typically joins us that drives from Addison to eat here. He asked for extra pickles jalapeño slices on his chicken enchilada and was told there would be a charge for them. I was embarrassed. This is just bad business IMO. Anyway, he got it sorted.Food was excellent. We love this place.

This is a nice small restaurant that serves Tex Mex. The food was tasteful and the atmosphere was very nice and lively. There was a wait time of 45 minutes to be seated.I had the enchiladas with I believe crab meat.Service for us seemed slow as it took a while to have our order taken, thus the three stars.They have an open bar where you can wait to be seated.$$

Fantastic margaritas! They were perfectly balanced with just the right amount of kick. The ceviche was also very fresh and flavorful, with a great mix of citrus and spice. The presentation was beautiful too. On top of that, the service was excellent--our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed.

We placed an $150 to go order for the holidays and restaurant would not even give us chips. Mind you we ordered 2lbs of fajita meat, 1 quart of taco meat,a dozen enchiladas,rice, beans, guacamole, salsa and queso. That was really disappointing.

I'll say it's aesthetically ok and seemed very clean. Service at the bar was just an order taker. He never came back to check if the food was ok, it wasn't, or to see if we needed another drink. He just talked to who I suppose was the manager...We barely ate the food, just wanted to pay and leave. Another strange thing is when a phone order came in the greeter announced it over the loud speaker.... It was absolutely dead and we were the only two people in the bar. The greater was three feet away and could literally turn around and say or signal there was a call instead of broadcasting it over the sound system. Was basic at best, amateur,and unfortunately food was not good except the salsa
