What Will It Take to Bring Diners Back to Dallas’s West End? | Eater Dallas

"An early restaurant opened by a local restaurateur in 2004 as part of a long-term effort to build a cluster of eateries on Market Street; it represents the owner’s early investment in the district and contributes to a portfolio intended to attract both locals and visitors." - Diana Spechler

Visiting Dallas, I went to RJ's in the middle of the day so seating was plentiful. We were seeved by Briseidy. She was attentive and helpful to explain the menu. The tortilla chips were freshly made. The salsa was spicy and delicious. I loved it. Though I must confess it might be too hot for some. The drinks were decent and colorful. Overall, I would visit again.

Had a date night with the hubby. The service was excellent! He kept our drinks filled without asking, took our order promptly, and we had our appetizer out within 2 mins and our entrees came out maybe 15-20 mins. The food was fresh and hot and very fulfilling. We had a great time.

Went there for any early dinner with our daughter and two grandsons. Our server, Ana, was great! She helped my daughter what to get her sons for dinner, and she was totally helpful. We never had to ask for anything. We even spoke with the manager, to tell her how much we enjoyed our visit there, as well as what a great server Ana is. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious! Ask for Ana, you will not be disappointed in the service she gives you. We plan to come back occasionally, since we only live in Mesquite.

I really felt the upscale Tex Mex vibe. Best Shrimp fajita I've ever had. The Tortilla con pollo looks small, but it packed a hearty and tasty punch. If time is an issue, that might suffice for a lite lunch. They have 1 halal steak option! Waitress was kind and very attentive. Cons: Expensive food. Budget $75 for 2. The dishes were a decent proportion for 1. Not enough to share a single dish. Mocktails had too much ice. Location is both a pro and con. It's a surprisingly hip place in Dallas' West End district. Come by car. If you come by DART, the West End train stop is one of the scariest spots in Dallas from a safety perspective. Cops are always very visibly present because they are needed.

Service was great! My favorite item was the carrots that come with the carne asada. The barbacoa was cooked to perfection as well. Very flavorful! I highly recommend! Grilled shrimp tacos were really good but the Mahi Mahi was not seasoned enough nor was the carne asada.

Wow—A++ all around! I genuinely wish there had been more on my plate because I could’ve kept eating forever. The chimichangas were absolutely incredible, and the mocktail? Let’s just say I was very pleasantly surprised to discover they even offered mocktails. It was delicious and exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Truly a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

We had a special celebration,our dinner and drinks were amazing. The place is very nice and the atmosphere so good. Everyone was very friendly. Our waitress Bella was very kind with us. After dinner we walked around the block so beautiful.

This place is one of a kind. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff is too. We’ve been coming here for years now and we will continue to do so. They definitely have the best fajitas and margaritas I’ve ever had. Especially their beeritas. Also they’re located at the West End so the view isn’t bad either. I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven’t yet done so.

Great Service from Samuel! The margaritas and mojitos were great. We ordered the Fajitas with chicken, shrimp & beef and it was the perfect dish for a party of 4. Thank you Samuel.

We came here for dinner on Christmas Day, not expecting many places to be open, we were so pleased to see that RJ was. The restaurant was decorated for the holidays inside , it was very cute! We ordered queso with chips and salsa as well. Both tasted delicious. We were served very quickly despite how crowded it was, and there were so many vegetarian options to pick from, making it a bit difficult for me! I was so happy to see that. I ordered the veggie chimichangas, they were seasoned well. Everything we ordered tasted fabulous, I was full and satisfied with food leftover to eat later.

Good Tex-Mex (not great) at a higher price point than I am used to for a similar menu. Chips and salsa are not free but worth the price. Margaritas are very sweet but also strong. We enjoyed a beautiful table by the window looking out into the West End and we were quite comfortable. My partner ordered piccadillo tacos which he said were quite tasty, I had cheese enchiladas which were ok and the portion was so large, I took it home and enjoyed it for lunch the next day. Service was good, no free parking and we had to search for a while despite the fact it was 7:30 on a Thursday night with nothing much happening. Great place to take visiting family who want to play tourists.

Astounded that this place has so many high reviews and not as many negative. Whole experience was sub par. Hostess sat us at a table that was dirty. The table had the personal belongings and dirty dishes from a very messy family at the adjacent table. (There were plenty of clean open tables, I have no idea why they sat us at the 1 dirty one that needed to be bussed) Quesadilla came out hanging off the plate touching the table when the server set it down. Very greasy, nothing special about the food. Barely touched the food and decided to leave before ordering entrees. Overall food selection was small. The only non-seafood burrito or taco option was a ground chuck taco. In a city with so many good taco trucks and Tex mex spots, don't waste your time and money here. It's not worth it.

First time visit and I enjoyed my visit. The decor is kind of vintage meets modern but trendy. Our server was nice but average. Our food was delicious. I really enjoyed the fajitas and everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The sangria was fruitful and tasty. I did think the Mexican candy shots were overpriced and that is the reason for 3 stars. $27 for two shots seems a bit much especially when other places offer the same for a lot less. Overall I would return for the food and stick to either a menu drink or not drink at all.

I loved this place. We were visiting the museum of illusions and came in to kick some time. We sat at the bar and Bela was at the bar and let me tell you she was awesome. The margaritas were well balanced and we also ordered chips and queso- a steal! Portions was good for 2+. I had the perfect margarita and my spouse had the top shelf. It felt like we had met a friend from way back. We'll be back for sure. This place is a gem

Yummy Mexican food! I feel like you can never go wrong with Mexican! It's definitely a fave of mine and we found this place while in Dallas! I ordered fajitas and a mocktail watermelon drink and it was sooo good!!! I could have had another mocktail but the drink was already huge! The service was great and our server was quick, food came out piping hot and portions were good! Some had leftovers! Ambiance of the restaurant was lovely! Overall a good place for good drinks and food!

The food - 10/10 The drinks - 10/10 Price - 9/10 The service especially at the bar, Sherri is 20/10! Super attentive, communicative, and always ask for refill when needed. Great place to eat, dine and just cool off especially on a weekend.

Brought a group of 9 to the restaurant. Got there to find out it's not handicap accessible. They have a small wooden ramp they will bring out but it's not flush with the step. Dangerous. The food was good - not great. Shrimp fajitas, fish tacos, enchiladas and tortilla soup were ordered. The whole restaurant was different from when I'd been before - granted several years ago. It used to be a little fancy and upscale inside - now it's more rustic and worn looking? When did that change? I kept thinking I had gone to the wrong place but the street location was right. Samuel was our waiter - not sure if we were making him crazy. He would look mad and then give a great smile. I don't think we were being too demanding. We did have to wait for 3 of our group to arrive so he was waiting to take our order for a while. All in all it was an ok experience. Just disappointed it wasn't the place I remembered. Maybe different owners?

We had the steak and chicken enchiladas. The steak was not worth the 50.00 it had good flavor but it was full of fat - cheap cut not worth the money. The enchiladas were delicious. Service was slow, and it was a slow time. The ambiance seems it could a fun at a different time. Stay away from the steak.

Location is nice.. found easy parking. Have to pay for chips and salsa. A little pricy for ordinary Mexican food. A little bit too cheesy for the kids food. Overall not bad, but definitely not favorite. Restaurant is very spacious with outdoor and indoor seating though. So maybe good spot for drinks and apps

Came here before a concert nearby at House of Blues. We had to wait a little while to be seated. Our waiter took our order and the food/drinks came out in a timely manner minus my cocktail which took a while to receive. The food was a good temperature but the spice level was a bit more than expected. The location is clean and spacious. The restrooms were clean and well stocked.

Excellent! Great service and food! I see why they call it the best Mexican food in Dallas! Sat outside on a beautiful day and took in the sights and sounds of downtown Dallas!! Highly recommend if you are in Dallas!

Food was beyond amazing!!! We loved how accommodating they were finding us a seat even after we had settled on the bar. Robert was an amazing server. Highly recommend. We sat inside due to the heat, but the outside seating was absolutely fantastic.

The most ridiculously expensive Mexican food, ever! Steak Fajitas for $35, Combo Fajitas $50, 3 small tacos $19. Rice was undercooked, the fried red beans tasted bad. The only cheap thing on the menu is the chips and salsa for $2, which everywhere else is free! Absolutely not worth the price. Never going back.

Food was great but our server was not having it. we had to ask for everything twice and he would always forget it anyways. The Margaritas were bomb! Shrimp Cocktail had more spinach then actual shrimp! Music was great!

I chose maybe for my recommendation because the food is wonderful & beautifully plated but they charge for everything! I was looking for my "utensil usage" charge - yep, it's that ridiculous! Chips and salsa are not complementary, they cost $2.07 with no refills! My sister & I planned to split a meal but we were told it would be a 30% up charge for two plates. So we ate off of one! I was waiting for them to say something... Anyway, it's in a dead area of West End in Dallas with no parking near the building.

We made a reservation here and walked from the Dallas World Aquarium. When we came in Juan greeted us at the door. He was immediately warm and welcoming! We had made a reservation for outside but in the walk i decided I needed to be inside and they were very kind and accommodating. We sat in a comfy back corner booth and our drinks were brought out so fast! After some chips and salsa (that was fantastic flavor and kind of a thick soupy consistency-with just a hint of spicy), we ordered our enchiladas. The rice comes in a cute little pyramid shapes and is so delicious. I ate the rice and beans before I even touched my enchiladas! You can see in one of the photos just how cheesy those enchiladas are! Juan was our server as well and he brought the dessert out (on the house) for my birthday! I really can't tell you how kind the staff is here and how good the food is! Definitely stop by.

Fantastic service at this restaurant! The manager and crew quickly rearranged tables to accommodate our walk-in party of 25. Servers Angel, Jenny, and Robert were very attentive to everyone in our party and chips, drinks, foods and checks were all delivered to us quickly. They even provided separate checks for everyone. Wonderful experience at RJ! We will be dining here for years to come!

Visiting Dallas for a couple of days. Saw this place had good prices (old menu that's on Google) I posted the new menus here. Upon arrival to the restaurant we noticed lunch specials outside, we went around 2:15 and we intended on having lunch, no paper menus. Scan QR and it was a newer menu. Prices for food during lunch is reasonable. However the prices after 2pm is more than doubled. We ordered fajitas to share.. our waiter told us it would be enough for two people that is why the price was higher. The size of the meal was not filling for two people, they only brought out one plate of rice and beans for one person... overpriced for such a small portion. I have never been to a restaurant that starts serving dinner at 2pm. They didn't have the time outside for the specials either, so it's misleading.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. They don't have a lunch menu on the weekends, so you have to order from the dinner menu. This limited our options for a smaller meal, so we decided to order two bowls of tortilla soup and one plate of beef fajitas to share. The tortilla soup was very good, with lots of chicken and vegetables. It was well seasoned and warming. The fajitas were good - the meat was nicely cooked and the onions and bell peppers were caramelized. We also ordered Chips and salsa for $2. It was well worth it - very tasty chips with a nice seasoning blend. Overall, we had a sufficient amount of food. We will be back to try the lunch menu. Service was great! They kept our glasses filled and were very friendly.

Amazing service!! Came here with my boyfriend and was served and waited on by Mr. Quan. I have a complicated allergy list and he made me feel heard and safe with eating here, checking with the chiefs and others to see what accommodations could be done. Not a local to Dallas but I'd come back just to eat here!

Rj Mexican Cuisine had a clean and friendly atmosphere. The chips and salsa was good. The hubs ordered fish tacos he enjoyed it, but wish he requested corn tortillas. The tortillas were store-bought. I had sour cream chicken enchiladas they were ok comes with three. We both enjoyed the refried beans and the rice was ok. We believe many products were store bought rather than made from scratch. The "perfect margarita" was good. Overall, it was good food. We would probably not go again.

My sister recommended this place to us and it did not disappoint. We were seated right away and our waiter Alex was great. Very attentive, had great recommendations, and made sure we were good throughout the night. Now on to the food. We got the guac with chips. I asked Alex beforehand if it was good good. He replied with it's his favorite and boy was it good!! Prob the best guac I've had in a while. Very flavorful. We also ordered the chicken enchiladas and combination fajitas. Everything was good. The fajitas were great, well seasoned with every bite. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I wish I took pictures but trust me, it's worth a try.

1st time at this place. My family was greeted and shown a table immediately. The server was by with water, chips, and salsa as well. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. I appreciate good food, and this did not disappoint. I must say the chicken enchiladas were a HIT! I will definitely be back!

I would give zero stars if possible. Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Everything was prepackaged and tasted of preservatives. Prepackaged chips and tortillas too. Expected more as this is an "upscale" restaurant. Disappointed to say the least. If you're reading this beforehand DON'T DO IT!!!

Second time I've been here and both times service is not good. Very slow getting to you, taking your order had to ask for things several times before it was brought and finally had to ask for check. Food is decent but not spectacular. Nachos were pile of chips with a little melted cheese on very top so once that cheese is gone you have a pile of plain chips. Really disappointing. I won't be going back for a 3rd try.

I'm all for trying a new restaurant, but the advertising for this place was a bold face lie. We came here because on their website, FB, and IG pages, HH is advertised Mon-Fri 11am-6pm. Upon arriving, it took 10-15 minutes after we were seated for our waiter, Pedro, to come to our table. We weren't too hungry we simply came to enjoy a drink or two. Two margaritas, one appetizer, with salsa and chips is all we ordered. The salsa was spicy asf, but had a good flavor. I just couldn't get past the heat to actually enjoy it. My margarita (watermelon/mango mix) was extremely sweet, which hid any signs of actual liquor. My lady's house margarita was nothing to rant or rave about either, but at $5.00 a pop, we weren't expecting much. The queso was awful! Thick and gritty with a hint of spicy, which again made it hard to enjoy. Finally, we asked for our bill all to be hit with the okie doke that our bill was $43.14. WTF?!? So, my lady showed Pedro the HH advertisement on their website, to which he replied, "We no longer use that website. I have spoken with management to deactivate it." But what I found strange from his apparent lie was, "If the website was no longer being utilized, why was their current Cinco de Mayo celebration specials being advertised on it?" Not to mention the same daily lunch special that are posted at the front door in the restaurant. At that point, my lady and I knew he was full of shyt, so we paid our bill and left. I called to speak with a member of management, but no one answered their telephone. I wouldn't dare recommend this place to anyone. Do waste your time or money, Yelpers. Roni's pick

Juan, our server was amazing! Recommended great margaritas and the chips and salsa were great--the salsa with just the right amount of kick. The area is great--beautiful historic area and the inside of the restaurant is modern and sophisticated...surprising considering the exterior!

I'm from S. Texas, guess I am a little spoiled with our home made corn/flour tortillas at every restaurant, our food was ok though . When I googled best Mexican restaurants in Dallas, this place popped up with a price range from $10-$20 , WELL, they need to update that, our appetizer guacamole bowl was almost $16, not to mention the combo fajita platter for 1 that is more than double the $20 !!! I don't mind paying for great food but, it was ok food with fake butt flour tortillas. Service was good, Ambiance was nice as well.

Fist time here. Went with family friends. I ordered the beer-Margarita and that was way to SOUR...ugh... couldn't finish it nor enjoy it.. Chips & Salsa was good here. Not free. Like 3$, I believe. I order the vegetable pasta could use more seasoning and sauce, but was a light 16$ dish.

Leslie E.

Yelp
Honestly, the food was amazing, and the restaurant was very pretty, but our server (Esbeyda) could not have cared less about us. She chewed gum with her mouth open every time she was at our table, she never smiled, and she made us feel as if asking her for anything was a huge inconvenience. She never checked on us to refill our drinks, and several times we had to ask other servers to get her attention so that we could order or get a refill. I would recommend the restaurant, but not Esbeyda.

This opera Hispanic music is the worst vibe ever !!! Please stop playing this music!! We left because of it. Food is good. Margaritas taste like they are from a cheap mix. And cheap purée additives. We asked the waitress if they charged for chips and salsa and she said "no, it's $2" .... What?

Decided to try a new place and came to RJ Mexican Cuisine for Valentine's Day with my partner. While we waited for a table, a Black couple was told by a host that it was a 40 minute wait, and they sat at the bar instead. No one left the building, and a Hispanic couple walked in and was told the wait was 25 minutes. Still, no one left the building. I think you know where I'm going with this...yea, it really rubbed us the wrong way, considering I'm biracial (Black & white) and my partner is Black. Anyway, we decided to stay because it's Valentine's Day and everywhere was busy. Our waiter, Pedro, was fantastic. The drinks were strong and flavorful, and the chips and salsa were good. However, the queso tasted very average and was not flavorful. The enchiladas we ordered were decent, but the rice almost tasted store bought (I'm sure they weren't, but that's how it felt). The refried black beans were okay. Overall, I don't think I will come back here because of paragraph #1 alone, let alone the food not being the best.
