EL Paisano

The inside is very cute and aesthetic. The food is amazing. Great tacos and my friend had the chorizo quesadilla. Everything was great and the server was very attentive to our needs. Plenty of open seating when I went Thursday night.

Stopped into El Paisano in East Dallas just to use the restroom and grab a quick taco, and I was honestly blown away. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. The space has such a cool vibe, warm, vibrant, and thoughtfully designed. It didn’t feel like just another taco spot. The staff was immediately friendly and helpful. You could tell they genuinely care about their customers. The restroom was clean (which always says a lot about a place), and the food was fantastic. What was supposed to be a quick stop turned into a surprisingly great experience. I had never even heard of El Paisano before, but I’ll absolutely be back. If you’re in East Dallas, this spot is worth checking out.

A novelty for sure! Beautifully decorated and a pink heaven, but the food was definitely nothing to write home about. I ordered tacos. The chicken tinga was the best. I also had Barbacoa which was dry and more smoky than spicy and a fajita taco which was old minced fajita. It was lunch before 2 for $40. May try again for their "Mexican" dinner but I will stick to gas station tacos.

This restaurant was so much fun. It is so beautiful. We waited a little extra time so that we could sit in one of the beautiful pink floral booths. The food was really good, too. There were multiple people celebrating birthdays while we were there and the waitstaff would come out with a dessert with a big sparkler and play a fun song. Even the bathrooms were beautiful. Definitely recommend eating here.

The ambiance was amazing. I shared a mocajete and guacamole app with a friend. The food tasted great. The pricing is more then I liked to see considering I was sharing a meal. The service was sub par. Maybe it was a language barrier but I think the server maybe assumed that we could not speak his language "Spanish". It appeared like he struggle with understanding what we asked for in English. We got guacamole but in reality we wanted some extra avocado on the side. We could also speak in Spanish.

I’ve been here a few times, and the pink decor is always fun to look at! The fajitas is something my boyfriend and I share, the portion size is perfect for the two of us and maybe even go home with some leftovers. They are on the smaller side though, a bit slim, so you have to put about 10 pieces in your tortilla to add up to one normal size taco. The one thing I LOVE is the salsa they give you when you first sit! It’s got a great spicy kick and it’s warm and fresh. The refried beans a very good, but the rice is something I can do without. I do love the floral theme, and I enjoy some of the music that’s played, especially when they throw it back to some old school reggaeton! But what gets annoying is when the music gets cut off and the same birthday song plays every time they come out with sparklers to someone’s table, the first time I went there, that birthday song played 7 times in 10 minutes. Drive me crazy. The staff is very nice though, I’ve never had a problem with slow service, or rude servers.

Omg. I love this place. It is decorated so beautiful!!!! The drinks were good and the food was even better!!! I love the pink and flower theme. We had our Galentine's celebration there!!!! I will definitely be back!

Beautiful place, pink all over, restrooms are wonderful 10 stars. Myself, 2 daughters and grand daughter. Food was great, had leftovers for 3 days. Service could be a little better, however will go back again. They have the best Birthday song ever!!

After reading several reviews, I met my buddy here at 11am on a Saturday, and parking and tables were plentiful. We scored a highly sought after pink booth for the full experience. The interior space is primarily bright pink, from the artificial flowers acting as draperies to pink chairs, booths,and walls. In the absence of a crowd, our food and service was excellent. I ordered a bowl of menudo (one of the best ones I've ever had) and my friend got some sopas with pastor, which he seemed to enjoy. Chips and salsa were solid, with the salsa being just right (good heat punch) for me and too hot for his pallete, a good thing for me. If you drink alcohol here, you will have a large tab, as all drinks are aggressively priced. I will likely not return any time soon, as it is really not my vibe. If you do go, I recommend you do not attend at peak hours, or parking and wait times will be a hassle.

Amazing food and amazing service. I paid $30 for my fajitas that my friend and I shared and still were full off of. Soooo cute on the inside, and yet the food is still authentic and amazing. You can tell the servers are having as much fun as the customers. Will definitely be coming back.

Stopped by for lunch such a beautiful place and the chips and salsa was delicious and the tacos was delicious as well will definitely will visit again

Nice looking restaurant with flowering decorations around. The service is good and friendly. The food was good but could have used more flavor.

Best tacos in Dallas. Open till 4am. Cute spot. I'd go here if you're craving good tacos. I'm from California and I'm sorry but our Mexican food is the best in America. These guys are up there with California Mexican food. Good service. Very busy at 4am lol

Hey again! Here's my review of the infamous Pretty in Pink Tacos. Walking in, my friend joked, "It's like a sweet 15 party"--and she wasn't lying. Think chandeliers, floral arches, and every shade of pink imaginable. Latin music filled the air, really setting the vibe. Super cute. Now the real question--how's the food? We sat in a flower-wrapped booth and were greeted with great, attentive service. The menu is bilingual (English and Spanish), which is a plus. Food: Since it was Good Friday, I went with the Garlic Shrimp and swapped rice for extra fries. The shrimp was decent--tortillas were fresh and handmade--but I had to season it a bit more. I'd give it a 7/10. My friend got the classic fajita tacos and rated them an 8/10. You really can't go wrong with tacos. Drinks: I ordered the Pink Malibu (oddly, not pink) and my friend got the Pink Barbie. I wasn't impressed--mine tasted like straight rum and I gave it a 5/10. My friend thought hers was cute but gave it a 6/10. Con: Prices are fixed--even if you order just one item, it's full price. Keep that in mind. Overall: It's cute, definitely packed, and the tacos are good--but don't expect too many photo ops inside. Not gonna lie, I don't see myself coming back--but it's definitely one of those places you go to for the experience and to enjoy the moment. Cute vibe, fun time... just not a must-do twice. Thanks

The vibe of this place is so chic, I have already been here two times in one month during lunch and though it's crowded, I still have been able to find a parking. So this is a Mexican restaurant with Mexican staff and some of them do not speak English which can be a deterrent for some. Luckily, both times that I have went I've translated for my friends. Customer service is unquestionably A1 and the food is an A+. I am not a fan of Mexican rice and for me to say that I even remotely like it is a major plus. Their refried beans are just OK to me, but their Mexican style eggs are amazing and they make fresh tortillas which are delicious. So for all my girlies who wanna do lunch I'm down....

I saw this place on TikTok and knew I had to try it for its cute pink vibe. The place was super pink and so pretty inside. We arrived around lunch time on a Friday and were able to get seated right away on one of their cute booths with the flowers. Their staff were very friendly and brought us chips and salsa as soon as we sat down. I ordered Barbie's Martini and although super cute, it was weak and I felt like it was more of a mocktail. For my meal I had a Taco plate with two Trompo tacos, two fajita tacos, rice and beans. The food was not good to me. The fajita tacos seemed dry and I really disliked the Trompo tacos , I felt like at one point I was chewing on crushed bones. Their bathroom is super cute and perfect for those girly selfies and the only reason this place gets three stars. I wouldn't come back for the food.

Had my birthday here on a Wednesday night. Got here at 6pm -parking was pretty easy to find. They don't take reservations so I just went there a bit early than I told my party to come to make sure I could claim table space and set up my birthday balloons. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful I took pictures inside and out! The birria tacos were subpar - could've been better. The papusas were good and shrimp plate were really good and the drinks were pretty good as well just a bit pricey!

We tried this place for the first time. It's a lovely restaurant with great decor and ambiance. The staff was kind, and the service was fast, but the food was just okay.

The atmosphere was BEAUTIFUL and very clean. Food was great! I recommend the sopes and tacos! All the staff were friendly and very clean and presentable. I'll definitely be coming back when I visit Dallas. it was so beautiful and welcoming!!! 100/10

I'll never visit a viral restaurant again without checking Yelp first. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon for a late lunch and was really hoping to enjoy my meal as this place is closer than my normal taco spot. I got the birria tacos (3 for $20) and a side of rice and beans. The beans somehow tasted watered down (??) and the rice had no flavor. The tacos also somehow tasted like nothing. I ate 1.5 tacos, 2 bites of rice and beans and then closed my tab and left still hungry. I will note that I did like their salsa.

Beautiful restaurant down to the restrooms. Authentic Mexican flavor and menu. True spice so expect a warmer dish than Tex mex!

I visited twice in one weekend before writing this review. First, with my girl friend because of the fun, posh, pink atmosphere. Second, with my husband because of the food and customer service. The first time, there was a decent crowd but no wait. We were seated quickly and helped immediately. We ordered specialty drinks - mine came quickly and cold with chamoy and a lollipop! They were so delicious that we had a second round. We were served chips with a warm, spicy salsa. This was a first for me and it was so delicious that I don't think that I'll be able to enjoy it cold! We ordered tacos - chicken, steak, and el pastor. The chicken wasn't the greatest but they were more than happy to swap them for a delicious set of steak tacos. The staff is so friendly and helpful! To be clear - this isn't an "I'll go and tell your server" sort of restaurant. If you need help, everyone is more than happy to serve you. The second time, my husband and I ordered a flight of 12 tacos with assorted meats and we tried some more specialty drinks. We had shots and a really good time. It was late, less crowded and an even better experience. 10/10 in my book. I love when I know what to expect, and I love consistency even more!

Very well decorated, fun atmosphere, Needs better drinks and food options though. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Willing to give it another shot

12% tip added automatically for party of 3? I would have added more than 12%. Disappointing. Food was good but music was too loud for a lunch crowd.

The food here is absolutely fantastic, and the service is equally commendable. The staff members are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Recently, the interior was upgraded, which has transformed the atmosphere into something truly beautiful and inviting. With stylish decor and a warm ambiance, it enhances the overall experience of enjoying a meal in this establishment. The parking situation is not very good.

my sisters brought me here for my bday celebration. the staff was great vibes! the place was clean & beautiful!!!! loved the food also. thank you for an amazing experience. will come again for sure.

Comida no esta buena Bebidas alcohólicas tampoco estan buenas Comida no es la mejor Baños necesitan mas de un baño para tanto cliente

MAN I LOVE ME SOME TACOS ! THE BEST SERVICE I EVER HAD AND THEY WAS AMAZING AND VERY NICE AND THE FOOD WAS AMAZING . THE Presentation was fantastic and they was good with costumer service skills and i appreciate that Because that was my first time going and it was amazing and i will coming back again and again and i will bring more people next time Thank You for a great experience keep up the good work yall is amazing and im proud

Beautiful place. We went for an early lunch they sat us right away but took about 20mins to come get our drink order mean while they all huddled in a group and talked away. The place was empty at that time no way they took that long. Food came fast but meat was dry on the tacos this time. What a bummer. And I'm pretty sure I was over charged I ordered 4tacos/rice&beans, my sister ordered 3tacos rice&beans, 2kids plates, 4 can sodas and paid $80 plus I tipped him $10.. I thought about it once I got home and made counts they ain't no way it could've been $80 if tacos are $2.79each.. But anywho not complaining just a bad experience. I did try calling but the number on google is not in service

Food was amazing as always but the service lacked in several areas, they got my order wrong twice, I literally watch them throw away fresh food when two ladies went to the bathroom, and they came out and their food was gone, hopefully they can get the communication on point since this is one of my favorite places to come eat, I also love the new pink aesthetic of the place and the music was amazing. When we left the mariachi was coming in so We didn't get to listen to them play

This place was fire before they remodeled and they're always like 500 workers and they're all judgy and give fugly looks, it was just better before, the food isn't even close to as good as before. Also the flowers always have spiders on them

The wait was too long almost an hour just to leave. I was with my family and they were pretty upset about the wait time and left. I assume the food is good.... The place was super cute though.

Food is great, the staff are always welcoming. Been coming here for over 15 years. Best salsa and chips in the game. Tacos are always fire.

The place is absolutely pretty, it's decorated very well and makes for great photos. That's about the extent of it. Unfortunately the food was bland. The best thing I had was the complimentary chips and salsa. Our waiter was very friendly. The parking was so full, we ended up parking in a weird spot. The location itself is very questionable. I dont see myself coming back at all. This is just another influencer friendly type places. Great aesthetics, bad food.

The experience was amazing my daughter had her 16th birthday dinner there the staff was so nice the service was amazing and the food was beyond wonderful my daughters friends had so much dancing at the restruant and they lit my daughter a birthday cake and sang to her 10/10 experience highly recommend

Some friends and I went here a few weekends ago after a late night out at the bars. The restaurant is so cutesy and was filled with people at 2am. No complaints on the service. However, the food is very mid. I had the carne asada tacos. Very bland. Very boring. My friends all had barbacoa and got really bad food poisoning. Don't think we will be risking it and going back.

Me encantó la comida mucho regresaría otra vez. Ya venido varias veces y cada vez vengo pruebo una comida nueva.

After waiting an hour for our food we were told that they still had 2 tickets ahead of us. 3 tables that were seated after us got their food before us. They are very disorganized. Don't waste your time.

Don't believe the hype, ifs not worth it, you might as well go to el paisano on lombardy! We waiting in a huge line for 1 hour, we waited 1 hour for food to come to our table, then we waited another hour for our tab to come to us!!! The staff seemed very un organized. They were all over the place. They need a good foundation and more training i feel. My food cane in but was missing half of my food. By the time they brought the other half i was done with the first half! To top it off, we paid at the register with my group of friends and they still had the audacity to stop us while leaving the restaurant and blame us of not paying 1 tab out of 5 tabs! How embarrassing! And then the waitress said "oh nvm we got everyone's tab. Everyone looking at us like we were running away from paying the tab. Terrible service. We also didn't know who our waitress was because she was no where to be found the whole time!!! I feel like the owner needs to coordinate her team . ALSO THE FOOD IS NOT WORTH THE PRICE!!!!! Save yo little coins. Its cute environment but not worth it, if you want to take pics just stop by to use the restroom and call it a day. They also gave us 1 napkin and no spoons and forks for my rice and beans. Have me scooping with my bare hands!!

If they had negative star I would hit that icon It's bullcrap they are investing more one the looks on renovations and not the taste of the meats nor the cooks they messed up my order repeatedly at this point I'm switching to FUEL CITY TACOS it's embarrassing the small Food truck has a HORRIBLE SMELL like WET DOG makes me wonder what's going on behind there is anyone having that nasty CHIVO TASTE on Fajita meat ? Exactly something fishy going on cause when you get close to food truck it stinks really bad this will be my last time even after they open the new place the cooks and the young guy that takes orders at night messed up all my order I asked for 4 fajita and 5 pastor that ahole gave me 2 fajita and 7 pastor like he made his own decion for me what I must eat like no sir yall need to train them better cause the new look won't work when having staff like that I feel like the paisanos on Webbchappel and harry hines They share the meats back and Forth cause even the pastor meat is loosing it's taste and color. Gross no more paisanos everyone the owner needs to step it up cause there plenty of taco joints now a days every corner there's a taco stand a taco truck in every street I rather those than this crappy pink place And crappy stinky taco truck sitting outside paisanos on Carrol

No toilet paper in rest room got my order wrong waiters don't check on you. Told waiter about toilet paper and still didn't go

The place is really cute, but the music is way too loud, making it tough to chat--you basically have to yell to be heard. The food was decent; I tried the beef tacos. But when I went to pour the red salsa, a hair was coming out of the bottle. I called the waitress over, and she insisted it was just a cilantro stem, but it was definitely hair. I paid the bill and just left.

Service was fine. Food was terrible. Overrated place. I got pastor and barbacoa tacos, the pastor tacos had the taste of dog food like the scent it gives is what you can taste. Margaritas were $14 not good as well overpriced, save your time and don't come. Also you might be cold A/C was blowing at noon on a Friday.

beautifully decorated with pink decor & chandeliers, stays open until around 3am, friendly staff, great food

I just got back from Paisanos, with my family. They brought us chips and salsa, all of a sudden my husbands start pulling a long ass hair out of his mouth after eating the salsa, then here comes the second long hair that came out of his mouth and the waitress is literally witnessing it! She said she was so sorry and we told her it was ok, it happens! So here comes the main courses; my daughter's chicken nugget plate had 2 long ass hairs and my nieces tacos had another long hair! I had to get up and talk to the owners daughter, she argued the fact that all her kitchen staff have hair nets. I told her I was not making this up and told her the waitress saw when my husband pulled out the hair! The owners daughter said she will cancel the tab and that we didn't have to pay. My other family members food was ok , so they ate as others didn't like myself. The waitress comes to the table and starts crying saying she got yelled at!!! She then comes back and said that the owners daughter said we had to pay! I told hell no! Wtf is that, I was not going to pay for hairy infested food.

Had a very HORRIBLE experience at this restaurant, food was very good but the service was horrible, we had Sandra and she had a bad attitude since the beginning, the table and chairs were very dirty and when asked to clean them she rolled her eyes. she brought out our food wrong and once the food was dropped off never came back to check on us or bring us the check, we had to get up on our own and ask for the receipt, never got offered refills and was never checked on again. Very disappointed on the fact that we didn't get to celebrate my grandmas birthday but everyone else got a happy birthday sang to them. Very disappointed.

First thought pulling up was "oh this is where tigers cabaret moved to" with all the pink lights outside. The tortillas were hard on the tacos. They over did the decorating with the flowers all over the restaurant and even in the restrooms. Service was good but the waitress pretty much hovered around us like a vulture until we paid as if we were going to run off.

The place was absolutely beautiful i went for my birthday expecting a good wonderful time but instead got treated with disrespect and no urgency. no one spoke english i don't understand why if you know not everyone speaks Spanish.. our server charged the wrong table and expected us to pay their tab plus 65+ intrest for HER MISTAKE! we waited 47 mins exactly for our food tables that came in after us were already finishing up by the time we got our food. absolutely disgusting service . she wanted us to pay for the food before the food had even came out and refused to contact a manger acting as if she didnt know the problem... the food was disappointing and didnt look like the pictures on the menu nor taste good.i could get better from el fenix or anywhere else fr . i told them it was my birthday and got totally different taste from them when celebrating .

Went for the first time. Waited 1hr and 30 mins to be seated the tacos was really good it was nicely decorated. But I feel the drinks are overpriced and they charge 10 dolllars for salsa which is wild lol and I felt rushed eating they kept coming to ask if we were done back to back I assume to take our dishes. I feel like overall the service could've been better. Is it worth the 45 minute drive again probably not.

If I could give this restaurant 0 stars I would, the food sucks, the drinks suck & the service is even worse. The place is nice but that's all there is to it, go to the restroom take a pic and get out nothing there is worth it tbh, also be ready to pay for chips and salsa they don't ask if you want them they just bring them to you & don't even order the "pastor" I don't know what that is but I promise you it's not pastor all that money they make and the food sucks.

OVERHYPED! The gorgeous decorations will fool you. For starters the service was slow I was sitting at my table waiting for the check FOR AN HOUR. Cups weren't refilled until our meals were gone. The food was cold by the time it got to the table, and even then most of our orders were incorrect and missing. Our waiter Liliana literally disappeared for an hour. Honest opinion just grab a drink and take your pictures the food was not worth it. Also expect to pay for your chips and salsa

Stay the hell away from this criminal place. Went there for dinner and we ended up getting both of our credit cards cloned. Whoever is running the scheme is so stupid that they actually ended up using the cloned cards in the restaurant. Will be filing a police report with Dallas police. Stay the hell away from this place.

will never come here again the service was so terrible we got the chips and salsa quick but it took the server 15 minutes to get our drink order then left and said "excuse me i'll be back in a minute" took another 10 minutes and when he came back he talked bad about a black family giving him a problem. next thing you know it wasn't even them giving them a problem if we had the same problem with the server so who was really the problem? the name of the server was Jose O. our food wasn't even brought out by him but by another server , we asked for our check , the check already came with a tip included then he says he forgot to add a drink so our total ended up being $84 when i looked at both receipts i realized he never added a drink he added a salsa we never requested we only asked for the right lid he went to the back and added more salsa and add it to the check. then tried to scam me with the tip. when the tip was already included he had a problem with me and my friend requesting our change and said "well if such a problem i will pay for the salsa" worse service ever there was even a table that was there before us waiting for a hour to get their food and ended up getting their food as we were leaving we had already been sitting down for over a hour so i know that table must have waited longer to get their food. i think the owner should stop posting videos telling people to come instead of addressing her staff. my friend has worked in the serving industry and never has she said that , that's how you should treat your guests. hospitality wise this place is the worse

Bad service waiter only came three times, first for drinks, take our orders, then for the check. Have to pay 12% gratitude and hard to see it so we tipped twice by accident. The birria tacos had very little in it and a lot of fat and not warm or hot at all. Felt sick after

An hour and 15 to get your food that's not right and to just bring half of your food. I asked to speak with the owner or the manager and theirs no where to found my kids are still waiting for their food. They should at least say how long the wait is to get your food served. I worked is hospital industry for a long time and never had issues. Bad bad place. It's nice place but the service is not good at all. Still waiting to speak with a manager. And almost forgot I almost fell in the restroom.

First time trying this location and had the worst experience. Line was super long, the time to get seated and get your food took one hr. The food was cold by the time it was received. And at the end they had the audacity to say I didn't close my tab correctly when they were the ones who took my payment. Food was terrible and overpriced and staff was really rude! Cute place but thie drive was not worth it!

el lugar muy bonito y claro tome su respectivo video service by Jovana fue excelente y la comida estuvo riquísima. y venimos de visita desde California
