Best Cozy Restaurants in South Dallas / Fair Park

I visit Dallas twice every year. El Carlos Elegance has been a regular for me the past 3 years. I eat there EVERY time I'm in Dallas. The service, drinks, and food are truly fabulous. A diamond of a Mexican restaurant. Tequila is their thing. The mezcal margaritas are amazing. Attention to detail is the signature for their food. This is a must experience restaurant. Very highly recommended. But book ahead if you're eating 7pm -9pm. It's busy!

My best friend and I celebrated my birthday with lunch at The Charlotte, and it was such a wonderful experience. We ordered the spicy vodka pasta and the Cajun truffle malfadine, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The restaurant was stunning during the day, and I imagine it would be even more beautiful at night. I highly recommend visiting, whether it’s with someone special or a group of friends.

The Mansion is a classic. Always consistent, always excellent. Always drawing us back.

My first time to Sister!! Atmosphere is charming and the food is over the top. I will return for sure

Intimate atmosphere with unique flavors. I was happily surprised with the portions. Bartender/server was exceptional. Had the shrimp rice cake, tuna stracciatella, and the black bass with garlic noodles. Tuna and the noodles were the stars of the night. Make reservations and enjoy the flavors.
