"It’s not on the rooftop of the building, but it is on the rooftop of the restaurant — the wraparound patio at Mexican Sugar is beautifully designed and has enough shade to protect diners during the harsh, sunny summer days. It’s got a cantina feel and is a wonderful spot to sit and sip margaritas." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy
"The second-floor patio alone is reason enough to head here for a margarita. But add in a selection of seasonal margs flavored with the fruits at their heights and it’s a winner. Add to that the huge agave library in this place and ding ding it’s a winner." - Eater Staff
"Mexican Sugar Uptown The newest Mexican Sugar locale captures the Uptown vibe effortlessly. Ask for a table upstairs — especially if you can get one on the second-floor covered balcony — because the views of The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas and the full Uptown skyline truly epitomize a night out in Dallas. A seat at the bar rivals those al fresco tables, too, because there you can ask the bartender to handcraft a margarita with your choice of Astral Tequila. Better still, request a simple shot of Astral Tequila Reposado served neat or over a large ice cube with a wedge of lime and dusting of salt or Tajin on the rim. Sip it slowly as you work your way through a chile-brined bone-in pork chop slathered in cilantro garlic butter." - Steven Craig Lindsey
"An unexpectedly excellent hamburguesa features visible bacon and cheese, a seared poblano on top, and is finished with pico de gallo and three kinds of salsa verde — delightfully messy (you may need a fork and knife) but highly recommended. It pairs well with the house tortilla chips and guacamole." - Courtney E. Smith
"Don’t have the budget for a destination wedding in Mexico? Consider this Uptown spot instead. The expansive first floor dining room also boasts a gorgeous staircase that would be a great entry point for the big moment. And the upstairs has a bar and a wrap around outdoor patio for margarita moments." - Courtney E. Smith
