"Coco’s is known for its mole. The Jalisco- and Guanajuato-style menu features Pollo Oaxaca, chicken smothered in a creamy white sauce, and the star of the show: its mole casero. For an added touch, many plates and cocktails are served in terra cotta dishes and glassware, making dining here feel extra special. This tiny cafe is tucked behind a few shops, in the back of a street in Bishop Arts. Just keep walking back until you hit the host stand. It has an indoor dining room that’s a bit ad hoc as a space, but the wood-lined back dining room and the patio are solid." - Courtney E. Smith
"A small, tucked-away Mexican lunch spot in Bishop Arts that’s easy to miss—you enter through the street and pass a smelly candle shop and a knickknack store before reaching the dining room. The generous three-tostada plate features spicy ground beef, round tomato and red onion slices, loads of crispy iceberg lettuce and a cooling squirt of sour cream; it felt like a bargain at lunchtime with no line and no reservations required." - Courtney E.

"Dallas has no shortage of great Mexican food. That includes in and around Bishop Arts, which has a remarkable number of great tacos per capita. Coco’s Fire & Ice is for when you want celebratory sit-down dinners reinforced with margaritas and live music. Like the name, the menu is a study in contrasts, with bright ceviches, earthy huitlacoche quesadillas, and tender chicken bathed in deep, dark mole. The restaurant is tucked behind a series of shops, so keep your eyes peeled for the billowing papel picado and “besos papi” in big blue letters next time you stroll down Bishop Ave." - kevin gray
"Stop by Coco’s for a quick lunch after scoring the perfect vintage fleece at one of the shops on Bishop. This spot has fantastic mole, with just the right levels of rich and sweet with a kick of spiciness. Roll bits of the chicken mole into their homemade corn tortillas, which you can hold with one hand while the other grabs a flauta or glass of ranch water. Just make sure whatever leftovers you pack up don’t spill on your shopping haul." - lee escobedo, gabe bergado, emily smith
