Te Deseo

The food was definitely one of the highlights. It had an authentic taste, which is always appreciated. The drinks were beautifully presented, and some definitely stood out more than others. The service was good, but there were definitely a few moments that felt rushed. I don't think I would recommend for a large group, but as a date night, it's definitely cute. Our only major complaint was that the building was extremely hot. There was very little airflow. Not sure if there were repairs going but it was a huge discomfort. Would be willing to return. Definitely recommend checking out the rooftop for the views.

This place is truly a vibe! Ideal date night atmosphere or evening of upscale dining with friends. The Latin Cuisine here is delicious and well presented. The customer service was top-notch. They also have an exquisite selection of cocktails and mocktails! I would give them 20 stars if I could!

Love the Music and vibe, the service was amazing, our waiter was the best! Adult beverages were delicious. So, I had ordered the 'Chuletas de Cordero' Now, the grilled lamb chops lacked in flavor a bit, maybe a lil more sazon.. I had also asked for chops to be medium, an rcvd medium rare. The asparagus was good, but that avocado and mint salsa verde was old and turned brown already, was not appetizing. Flavor to Price not matching up on this one. Brisket Tacos were okay... Had an odd flavor to the meat that I couldn't put my finger on and they make it like a discada.. chopped and cooked with tomatoes and onion. 'Cod Moqueca' roasted cod filet, crab, shrimp, coconut milk tomatoes all good but the broccolini was undercooked to where you couldn't cut through it. Also way too much turmeric which overwhelmed the plate as a whole. Wasn't a fan of the poblano rice, weird flavor, and beans needed a lil salt. BUT I will say the 'Ensalada de Sandía' was good, the combination of the flavors. Not sure if the price is worth the food.. service yes, but food ... Eeehh...

I been to Te Deseo a few times now and every visit has been a top tier vibe. They sat us in the private dining room this time so I couldn’t catch the rooftop this time, but the drinks were flowing, the food was solid, and the energy was giving sexy date night or fun dinner with friends. We had the best time celebrating my sister’s birthday this past weekend. This time I got the Guava Blossom cocktail and the Pollo a la Brasa meal. Everything tasted great!

Tried this Mexican restaurant once and honestly… that’s enough for me 😂😂😂 Service was okay, but the food was just so-so. The atmosphere was wired, so dark I could barely see what I was eating. What really got me though? I was still eating and the staff suddenly took all my plates away… My scallops were barely touched! I only had one! 😅 Oh, and apparently they don’t allow hats inside the dining area? In a Mexican restaurant? That rule just felt random and unnecessary.. 😲 Not planning to come back…

Came with some friends for a birthday party and it was amazing!!! Our server Rosa was so sweet and made sure we were all taken care of through out the night. Love it here

We had margaritas, elote corn, veggie quesadillas (hands down one of the best I’ve ever had), and ceviche—all super fresh and full of flavor. The vibe here is unmatched, with a beautiful layout and a rooftop that makes the whole experience feel special. Our server was amazing, attentive, and even surprised us with watermelon shots on the house, which made the night even more fun. Between the lively atmosphere, creative cocktails, and outstanding service, Te Deseo is easily one of my new favorite Dallas spots. Perfect for a night out with friends or a celebration—you’ll leave already planning your next visit!

I went here for my 23rd birthday with a group of 7 people. The service was great! The place has a great atmosphere with really good food! We had dinner on the first level then went up to the club after.

Yesterday night at Te Deseo rooftop was pretty awesome. The vibe was there and the service pretty good. would recommend for the food definitely . My girl enjoyed it as well. Also don't worry about parking in that area! They have a complimentary valet parking service , the guys were great ! Took our car and brought it back so quickly ! (Don't forget to tip them as they´re that welcoming )

The food was really good and the drinks were amazing. Claudia was super nice too. The guava blossom was my favorite drink!

Girls night! We made reservations and got a table outside! Now it was at 8:45 pm so it wasn't too hot but it was hot. We thought it was upstairs outside but it was on the side, I appreciated that the staff brought us additional lightening for our table and fixed the table bc it was wobbly. We had just had dinner elsewhere so we had some appetizers and drinks. I can't complain they did take care of us considering they were packed inside and we were outside. They had great music playing - my friends Shazammed most of it and added them to her playlist. Well definitely comeback. One day I hope to actually sit inside the main restaurant bc everytime I come I sit at the bar or outside . Just a happening place to be at I guess. TIL next time Deseo!

This place is a bit hard to find parking for if you're not using valet but there are some street parking close by if you can find them. The service was slow for it not being too many people there. We were given the wrong order, our appetizers that we ordered well before ordering the food came out after our food did. I ordered wine and didn't get it so i had to ask again. The food itself was okay. I wasn't very impressed with the snapper nor broccolini. The flavor was mild for the snapper but it was nice and flaky. The broccolini was hard to cut through and the flavor was strongly... natural. The drinks and arepas were the best part of dinner. The arepas were like a saving grace for this date night, they were so delicious. I ordered the Caribe cocktail which was really good ! Reminded me of a pina colada almost. Ambiance was nice but it's pretty dark inside. The hostess sat us but did not pay attention to my question and comment but i chalked it up to her not hearing me as she was having a conversation with a worker about her day. I want to like this place so I'll give it another go but not anytime soon.

To be fair, I didn't try a whole lot of items on the menu. I did really like tuna tartar tacos. The chips for the guacamole was very salty for my liking. And the guacamole lacked flavor. The octopus was mid. But I have to say the service and ambience was great. I just wish I was more happy with my meal but again I didn't try enough of the menu !

My fiancé brought me here for my birthday dinner! The vibes were giving very much grown and sexy. The lighting was very low and it was decorated beautifully. For starters we had the wedge salad and it was amazing!!!!! For entrees, I got the snapper and he got the lamb chops. We also got a side of potatoes, that green sauce was out of this world and added another layer of flavor to the dish. Service was a 10 as well. Thanks for making my birthday dinner wonderful.

Te Deseo is, hands down, one of the most exceptional dining experiences. From the moment we walked in, the vibrant ambiance, impeccable decor, and lively energy transported us to what felt like an upscale Latin American oasis. Every detail of the restaurant was perfection. What truly made our evening unforgettable was our incredible server, Thalia. She went above and beyond to ensure our experience was flawless. Her warm smile and genuine enthusiasm immediately made us feel welcome, and her knowledge of the menu was outstanding. Thalia's recommendations were spot on, and she guided us through the menu with the expertise of someone who clearly loves what they do. We started with the ceviche, which was fresh and bursting with flavor, followed by quesadillas and nachos that were nothing short of divine. Each dish was beautifully presented and crafted with high-quality ingredients. Thalia's attentiveness was unmatched; she anticipated our needs without being intrusive, and her cheerful demeanor added such a personal touch to the evening. She made us feel like VIPs and turned an already amazing dinner into a truly special experience. Te Deseo is a must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional food, a fun and lively atmosphere, and top-tier service. And if you're lucky enough to have Thalia as your server, you're in for an absolute treat! To help us celebrate 15 years of marriage she also left us a nice treat at the end of the night. Thank you, Te Deseo and Thalia, for a night to remember. We can't wait to come back!

Our server Gabby was great. The food is way too expensive for what it is. Bar/club upstairs.

Honestly, two stars is being nice. Insanely over priced for BLAND food. I ordered shrimp Diablo and I got about 10 pieces of TINY shrimp that was not seasoned at all. My friend sent back two of her plates because both the brisket and the chicken did not have any seasoning whatsoever. $40 for 10 pieces of bland shrimp and a $30 free to bring my friend a birthday cake... I absolutely do not recommend this place especially because the rooftop bar is nowhere near nice enough for their prices. CHOOSE A DIFFERENT BAR!!

Thalia was a true delight from start to finish! She was incredibly attentive; when we noticed our table was unbalanced, she promptly came over to fix it. I allowed her to choose some expertly crafted drinks for us, and I was not disappointed. We began with the ceviche trio, which was delicious and accompanied by popcorn and corn chips. For the main course, we savored the braised short rib and camarones brochettas, both of which were outstanding. Thank you once again, Thalia, for your exceptional hospitality! Overall it's a pretty cool vibes!

Came for the first time with colleagues for dinner. I'd never been here before but Google searches suggested they could accommodate a vegan. Waiter said they could do tacos, fajitas or enchiladas vegan so I went with the enchiladas & they were really good. Had guac for the appetizer & waiter was good to point out that the chips are made in a shared fryer so I appreciated them knowing to point that out. Service was good - it wasn't very busy on a Wednesday night. Valet is shared with Happiest Hour - it's free with info to Venmo/Zelle/Cashapp a tip. I will say, this restaurant is DARK inside - really weird when you walk in & it's so dark. Your eyes do slightly adjust but it's just dark. I had to get out the flashlight on my phone to look at the menu. Couldn't take pics of my food it was so dark. I'm glad we stayed to go to the rooftop - much brighter up there. I was surprised that it wasn't hot up there. There was a nice breeze and it was really pretty. Had a mango rosemary cocktail that was tasty & my coworker had a pina colada-esque drink that was delicious. Would definitely come here again - I might pack a headlamp though...

Our bartender Claudia was amazing will be flying back from out of state just to visit her. Service was great drinks were amazing vibes were immaculate & the food was delicious

I was not allowed to enter because I had a sheer vest on. I mean this is not a five star restaurant, you serve nachos, it's 100 degrees outside and I'm wearing Bottega!!! Oh well.

The food was delicious. The service was great. Save for a server that shoulder checked my husband. Our server brought him to our table to make him apologize making the party uncomfortable. V odd. Drinks were good. Came to celebrate a bday. We were recommended to go upstairs to check out their rooftop. Server was unaware there was a private party occupying it. As we were leaving, they stated it was a mistake and they would be opening soon. It was too much whiplash. So we left.

I understand that it's summer in Texas but the restaurant is HOT. They advertise as "indoor seating" but it's really a covered patio with no central AC I'm assuming. our whole party was sweating. We asked if we could move tables, they said no. We ended up leaving before we even ordered food. Their fountain was broken and leaked water all over the floor (it's VERY dark in there. Someone could've slipped) and my gown got soaked. We were with a wedding party. The server was very nice but you'd think that with the issues we were having, she could've escalated to management but they didn't. I told 2 employees that my gown got wet because of their broken water fountain and nobody apologized. Every time I've gone, there has been an issue, or something distasteful happens.

We decided to go here on the way to an event. I saw that the reviews were good, and the brisket tacos were suggested as a good menu item. When we arrived, the place was super dark, but I loved the cute decor and the unique look. Food was bland and unremarkable. No chips and salsa (which is fine I guess), no Dr Pepper, and the $19 brisket tacos were small with no seasoning. The menu is completely different from what I saw online. The food pictures aren't accurate anymore either. When I went to the restroom, 2 workers were together, smoking a cig and a blunt in the large stall. Lovely. Disappointed and won't be back.

Evening started with the restaurant not opening its doors until 1710- which is 10 minutes late. There were 29 people in line waiting. Service was not up to par. I ordered a water refill at 1737. It came at 1757...20 minute wait for water. The server had not come to check on the table during the entire 20 minutes.. the meal came at 1803 after 45 minutes.....finally the plates were placed in front of the wrong diners. I was served my wife's meal and vice versa.

I made reservations to come here after the MAVS game. The interior was so cute. We started off with the queso and it was delicious. I ordered flautas. They were really good. It came with a fresh salad on top and that was tasty. I was also able to sample the stack quesadillas and the cheese that was used made it so delicious and creamy. Definitely coming back when I'm back on this side of town.

I dream about Te Deseo's stacked brisket quesadillas! I get a side of chimichurri to dip them in too. OMG. Our server was nice. The vibe is cool. I tried to go up and enjoy the rooftop but that was quickly ruined because of a creepy crawly r**** that crawled near me and I'm deathly afraid. But it was outdoors so I guess they can't really control that. That aside, please go try the quesadillas for yourself!

If I could give this restaurant less than zero stars, I would. Our experience was nothing short of disastrous from start to finish. We had a 6:45 PM reservation, well before the peak dinner rush on a Saturday. Upon arrival, we were informed that our table wasn't ready because the previous party was still paying their bill. Fair enough--we were told it would be 10-15 minutes. However, after one drink at the bar, I asked for an update and was then told the kitchen was "backed up" and it would be another 30 minutes. Keep in mind, the restaurant opens at 5 PM, and they had only seated their first round of reservations. How can the kitchen already be overwhelmed? By this time, it was 40 minutes past our reservation, and we had tickets to a comedy show at 8 PM. Trying to stay patient, we asked the hostess if we could sit at one of the five empty tables near the bar due to our time constraint. Instead of accommodating us, they seated our group of four at a small two-top table. Again, we kept our composure, paid our bar tab, and moved to this less-than-ideal seating arrangement. Once seated, we immediately placed our dinner order, hoping the food would come out quickly. Another 30-40 minutes passed with no food. We repeatedly asked our waiter for an update, and after another 10 minutes with no resolution, we decided to cancel our order since we were now at risk of missing our show. What happened next was shocking. Instead of apologizing or attempting to make the situation right, the waiter had the audacity to bring us a bill for the drinks we'd ordered while waiting at the table--even though we had already paid a tab for our first round of drinks and queso at the bar. When we raised the issue, the waiter called over the manager, who--astonishingly--needed us to explain the situation from the beginning. Shouldn't a manager be aware of how their customers are being treated? After over an hour of waiting, we left the restaurant having eaten nothing but queso. The lack of professionalism, accountability, or basic courtesy from the staff and management was appalling. Even as we walked out, we overheard another group behind us complaining of the exact same issues. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The staff and manager showed zero remorse and made no effort to rectify their mistakes. They didn't even offer to refund our first check. I will never return, and I would urge others to avoid this poorly run establishment.

IT WAS HOT! The manager said the air was broken and we would not be conoensated. Our pictures turned out horribly, because we sweated so much. Drinks are expensive. Foor was good. We will not go back.

My wife and I came here for birthday. Seated right away. Our server Janelle was over right away and took great care of us all night. We knew we wanted the date night special. First of all way more food then two can eat but the flavor of all the meats and the two sauces was outstanding. Cooked perfect MR sides were delicious and flavorful. Flaming skull dessert is a must we will be back. Could be a little brighter inside.

Te deseo was one of the first restaurants I tried when I moved to Dallas 4 years ago, and it's been in my top 3 best restaurants ever since. They have complimentary valet, and the ambiance is amazing with beautiful art, low and moody lighting with plenty indoor/outdoor seating space. The food is delicious, I always get the brisket taco when I'm there and each time it tastes phenomenal! Their elote, street potato, and poblano rice are my absolute favorites. Service is also great never had a bad experience.

Lo único mal k vi ahí k no me dejaron tomar foto con el letrero de Te Deceo las bebidas y comida muy bien precio razonable

I highly recommend going here for happy hour! The strawberry margarita & coconut margarita taste better than your average margaritas and are hands down the best happy hour margaritas I've had. The happy hour food is excellent! It's smaller portions than the same items on their regular menu. The Bartender gave us great service!

The service was great !!! Our server was Thalia she was fast, bubbly and attentive. First time being at Te Deseo the atmosphere is such a vibe ! Great drinks, great food and music !!! 10/10

We celebrated valentines Day late and TeDeseo did not disappoint. We were seated immediately upon check-in, followed by being greeted by our server. The seating could've been better but, the restaurant was very vibrant and the overall restaurant was aesthetically pleasing. I ordered the Arrachera Fajitas which were perfectly seasoned and tender. My Fiance order the short rib which was equally as good. I look forward to going back sooner rather than later.

Let me say this restaurant exceeded my expectations. I truly had a good time and enjoyed my experience. I stuck to my plan of having appetizers and sides. With drinks and cocktails to finish the evening. I would go back and try the main entrees now. Ambiance 4 STARS The inside restaurant space is decorated nicely. I love the turquoise and red colors. The tree in the center is quirky. The flowers running down the walls add a nice touch. It's truly charming with the open air roof. When you step into the bar area downstairs is cute and comfy. Looks like a totally different restaurant. The rooftop bar matches the main restaurant and is a nice spot to chill. Food 4 STARS Elotes-yummy, flavorful and love the crunch my topping, I highly recommend this to share. Arroz Chaufa-delicious rice and well seasoned. This was my favorite dish. All the components mixed in the garlic flavored rice worked well. The shrimp and avocado, eggs and much more were pure deliciousness! Order this and thank me later! Queso-it was ok my friend enjoyed it. I don't recommend it. Street Cart Potatoes- they were different I'm undecided on this side dish. It was good, but not sure if I would get them again. Enjoyed trying them once. SKULL DESSERT-presentation and taste 5 STARS It was so cool and tasty at the same time. Inside the head was a mini chocolate molten shaped cake. It's paired with vanilla ice cream in a cute taco dessert shell. Definitely shareable and a chance to get cool photos and video options. The skull will be set on FIRE! Service 4 STARS My waitress was nice and helpful. She did a great job of taking care of our table. She made the dinner special by bringing my mom a small birthday cookie lit with a candle. Drinks 4 STARS The drinks were great and strong. Nothing was watered down. They were beautiful and colorful. We all loved our choice. Bonus-Mexican Candy Shots were awesome. I ordered a round for the table. We all loved the scrumptious shot. Cheers to the birthday girl my mom was a perfect finish to celebrating. I left happy, full and satisfied! The bill comes in a cute black holder with a red rose on it. It was pricey, but was well worth it for a cool and unique experience! It's the small touches like this and the girls wearing a red rose in their hair that make it classy. Overall I had a wonderful time and visit.

I celebrated my Chapter 62 birthday here and had a wonderful time. Enjoyed the great service, the complimentary valet parking, the soothing ambiance with the beautiful flowers and candles everywhere and loved the rooftop for dancing and views of downtown Dallas. The only disappointment was that I couldn't experience the chocolate skull dessert because they ran out of them it's so popular, but I'm coming ba

We came here for the skull dessert and the skull dessert only. It did NOT disappoint! It was so much fun to watch and, to my surprise, it even tasted good! I was really expecting it to look cool, but taste horrible. The staff were really fun and hyped us all up as we cheered while it burned.

Te Deseo had a nice dark romantic scene to it, the food was delicious! And our server was helpful, the only complaint I have is when we had to pay the bill on one card their system was a bit confusing. Other than that it was great!

Service was slow for how slow overall the restaurant was but the best elote I ever had made up for it. The fajitas and shrimp diablo tacos were delicious. However, it was so uncomfortably hot and humid INSIDE the restaurant that I started to feel sick and thought I was going to pass out. For that reason alone, I would be incredibly hesitant to ever return unless it was the winter.

This was my first time coming here! Food was great but we had a little problem. Wife and I had a little too much of an entre to handle and they offered to take our food and hold it while we went upstairs to their upstairs bar. While we were there for about an hour we were ready to leave. We gave the staff our number that that they gave us to pick up our food. turns out they couldn't find it. I guess the boogeyman ate it or the closet monster did. We were very disappointed since the food was very pricey. I wouldn't recommend trusting their staff to hold your stuff while you get a a drink. A whole meal gone to waste. Thanks a lot

Food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Ambiance is spectacular. My wife and enjoyed the entire experience

Perfect vibe Perfect mezcal (gaviota) Perfect shrimp tacos and enchiladas And PERFECT Corn

Food is good Service is very bad! Our waiter was rude and took forever to even bring a cup of Coca Cola *Busgirls were really nice and friendly though

Fun birthday celebration for my brother Sunday night. Chase is a great host. We were reserved for the 'La Familia' tapas, we were seated and told that they no longer offer the 'La Familia!' Got that sorted out & they chose to provide for our reservation. Our easy-going server made the confusion all better. Food was good. The pièce d'resistance was amazing...a skull chocolate lava cake, which they flambé with perhaps too much alcohol, served with ice cream taco & fresh fruit garnish. It was simply too fun for words. This has to be THE place to celebrate Day of the Dead!

This place is kidding itself with its dress code, enforcing rules at the door that are different than what's online. Mid $20s plates by the arena thinking it's upscale but it's not worth the time

Update 2/14 I finally decided to give this establishment another chance and take my partner there for valentine's day. There was a preset 3 course menu with a few selections for the first course , second course , and dessert. Upon entering the restaurant it seems the hostess table was in a frequent rush which is understandable due to it being busy. We were immediately seated in an area outside the main area which seems like it missed the ambiance of the night. Our server was amazing and very attentive he even escorted me to the restaurant to show me the way. The food was very very subpar and simply bland. For it to be $85 per person I expected more. Somethings were room temperature and not served hot and somethings just seemed rushed as if I were at an all inclusive resort buffet. The drinks were definitely the star of the night. The pours were generous and the drinks were refreshing. Whoever the bartender was for the night I could definitely tell they knew what they were doing. Ambiance 3/5 Food 2/5 Service 5/5 Drinks 5/5

The food was amazing! The service was great but the restaurant is very dark! Hard to even see the menu. Didn't bother me too much because the food and service made up for it!

I had an amazing time with my friends and the interior was so beautiful! The staff was extremely helpful and I cannot wait to go back again for drinks!

I loved the ambience upon entering. The dark dimly lit dining room really appealed me. The staff here were all dressed really nice. Everyone was very friendly. Service was prompt and efficient. The snapper was amazing and I thought the portion was large. The drinks left something to be desired to me. I felt like they all could have had a better presentation. They looked sloppy to me and tasted a little bland. The staff was very lovely to my pregnant friend and made her some lovely mocktails though.

Chase was our host. His manager stated he was promoted to server and we WILL BE BACK to see him! Thank you so much for taking care of us

They should do brunch every weekend! Great service Awesome DJ Tasty cocktails and great company The empanadas were crispy fried goodness El Chicano burger was so Pretty I didn't want to eat it but I did and WOW the marinated tomates are not to be missed imo La Colombiana steak and eggs were pretty much perfect And the mojitos and spicy margs were consistently delicious I've always loved coming here for dinner and always WISHED for them to open for brunch.. I'll take what I can get but they do brunch right and I can't help but keep my fingers crossed for this to be a weekly occurrence Great experience

I really wanted to love this place. We came on a Thursday to try out their date night special dinner for two. Upon arrival we were sat in a small table away from their beautiful courtyard. The little table where we sat was uncomfortable and the picture that was next to me had dirty food splatters and was throwing off the vibe. Our waitress was friendly and greeted us warmly. For a drink I ordered the Deseame. When the waitress was going over the ingredients of the Deseame drink she stated that Aguardiente Antioqueño was from Brazil, which I immediately corrected her and told her she was not correct because Aguardiente comes from Colombia. She then asked me if I was sure? Which I immediately told her 100% because I am Colombian. She apologized and I also understood that maybe this was not her fault, and more of a training issue. However after this I did not want to get any more drinks. I was afraid to ask for the Maluma Baby and her tell me that Maluma is also from Brazil. The drink was good but definitely not very strong. The Caesar salad came out and it was just okay. The Parrillada was very delicious. All the meats were very flavorful, but my favorite was the sausage. The Parrillada came out with rice, beans and tortillas. It was all good but the rice was absolutely delicious. We upgraded our dessert to get the flaming Skull and it was really awesome and delicious. However we had told our waitress that we were getting the skull when we ordered the food and it still took about 20 minutes to get to our table, so definitely keep that in mind. Overall this place is very cute and I wish I had a better experience.

This was a dinner spot for a group of girlfriends before heading to our final spot. The vibes are very upscale, 30s & up, sexy, etc. The restaurant is so cute! The food & drinks were good! No issues with service. A little on the pricier side. I was a little surprised to see $17 guacamole. If you're prepared for that, you'll love the restaurant.

The decor and ambiance was amazing! Fun roof top for Latin music with a dj. Great restaurant for a date night. Food was good.

Absolutely impressed! We went for the date night special. It didn't disappoint. Very generous portions of high quality food. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our server Thalia was fun and very personable. Can't wait to come back!

First time here! We went on a Saturday night and we were afraid we won't be able to get in because we didn't make a reservation. However, the hostess directed us to go to the bar and we'll be assisted by the server soon and YES we were greeted, shortly after. We sat on the rooftop bar, great atmosphere with a great view. We weren't super hungry so we ended up just ordering chips with queso and fajita. The food was super delicious with a tint of a special flavor from the meat and vegetables of the fajita that wasn't out of line. It was a Saturday night and I saw how busy of a night it was. However, one thing I wasn't too happy was that the server came by often despite how busy it was but not once was she able to take a look at my cup and see that I was out of water. I had to ask to have my glass refilled because she couldn't notice. Although the food was on point, due to lack of service, I would give a 3 star instead of 5. I always believe reviews are based not only on food but service as well so hopefully next time I visit, I'd be able to give a 5 star.
