About the Company

TRENDS ARE NICE BUT TRADITIONS ARE BETTER and we have been proudly serving our family traditions for 45 years. It’s that family touch that makes all of the difference.

Ever since we opened back in 1976, Desperados has always considered itself a different Mexican experience and we are proud to say that most people agree. We invite you to come in and enjoy this delicious Dallas original. You can only find us at two locations; in the heart of Dallas on historic Greenville Ave. and in the Garland/Richardson area on Campbell Rd.

My husband and I live in Florida now and every time we come visit family in Texas we always ask to go to Desperados. Their Desperados Tacos are the perfect plate of Tex Mex. The margaritas are strong, the service is exceptional and the food is a little slice of home.

Really good Tex Mex. Wednesday is HH all day. Get the $3.00 Margaritas. Nachos are tasty! Salsa is mild but if you like it hotter, just ask Ramon who bartends on Wednesday. He is a great host and makes sure everyone is taken care of just like Mike the owner does. Really good place with Al fresco dining available.

it s always a pleasure to return here! Even after months of not being here, even the manager recognizes this as well as our favorite waiter Palo! Our dishes were tasty and delivered hot out of the kitchen! Additions like chop Serrano peppers were no problem and we were well taken care of! Parking: Park out front, there is handicap as well and come inside and eat or take a patio seat and enjoy yourself! Kid-friendliness: Beautiful child and her mother sitting two tables away from us amongst many adults in the restaurant and all was handled very well! The manager and the staff all work together to make everyone welcome! Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking, ramps post on the outside of the building, and on the inside of the building, easily operable gate to the outside patio and plenty of service!

Food and service are good, prices compare to similar places. Had beef fajitas, they were good (Not tough and chewy like other places). Wife had Chicken-Itza which she enjoyed. Guacamole, queso and flan were good. The dining lighting was little dark, and the ramp from front entrance to tables was a little steep & not well lighted for my wife who uses a walker. Plan to go back soon. Parking: Wish there were handicap spots closer to the front door. There were THREE Pick up Food-to-go spots next to front door. Long steep walk from existing handicap spots.

I enjoyed this restaurant. The food was good. The atmosphere was nice but a little dark. It is located in a shopping center. So, parking was an issue. The restaurant is small; there was a little wait even though we came before 6. Also, we were seated in an awkward spot where people are coming in and out of the kitchen. Even so, my family enjoyed it and will consider coming back.

This was my second visit and I wanted to leave a review because the service is exceptional. I visited with a large group of 17 at lunch on Tuesday. We thought there was a reservation but there was not, but the staff quickly got us set up with a table for 20! During lunch time. We arrived before the lunch rush, but they did get busy while we were there. We were separate tickets with some parties of 2. They gave us plenty of time to look at the menu, and they kept our drinks refilled. Our orders were taken quickly and the food came out as fast as possible with such a large group and at lunch. Everyone seemed to have gotten what they ordered, the food was hot, and it all came out at almost the same time, with the only delay being not able to put all the plates on one tray. I had the fish tacos, which is the Friday lunch special but you can order them any day or $1 upcharge, with rice only no beans. The tacos were served with cabbage and cilantro and a fresh lime slice. The fish was one big piece of fish in each taco and was fried nicely. But it was a fairly large piece of fish and I would ve liked more cabbage and hot sauce. I used salsa and they had tabasco, but jalapeños or something else would ve enhanced the flavor. The rice was fine, but again, could ve used more flavor. The puffed taco shells were good I heard, but the filling fell out after the first bite because of the shape. The guacamole tostada again could ve been more flavorful maybe spice or garlic or salt or all of the above, just something more. The checks came out quickly and were all correct the first time around! Which again, for a large party was impressive. Checks were cleared quickly and we enjoyed our meal. The exceptional service and attentiveness of the whole staff made up for any issues with the food, we ll be back for sure, and maybe try a margarita next time :) Parking: Lots of free parking - some right in front of the building but also a full shared lot Wheelchair accessibility: There s a ramp outside on the sidewalk as well as a ramp going down into the restaurant - plenty of room between tables

Saturday dinner after church. Short wait. The waiter was quick and only mildly confused. The wife had chili relleno with queso sauce. I had the sample platter. Plenty of food without the ubiquitous beans and rice. The vegetables were a nice change of pace. Looking forward to the next visit. Parking: Shared parking with other strip center clientele. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on two levels and the entry is on the upper one. There is a wheelchair ramp, but it is narrow.

We have been loyal customers for about 8 years. For the entire 8 years no matter how early we come on Wednesday, we can never get a booth. They have 12 booths but all 12 are always reserved even at 3 in the afternoon. I have a knee issue and cannot sit on a hard chair which makes it very difficult for me to sit long enough to eat

I m sorry we chose to go on a Saturday night. We sat at the bar & had horrible service. We had to flag down the bartender for every single thing we needed. From drinks, to chips & salsa, & silverware. When our food order came out, it was cold. It also was not correct. By then we were done & wanted to leave. We paid our check & left. We will not go back.

Delicious shrimp tacos. Much better than what you expect for Tex Mex in the burbs. They have a wonderful crispy flour tortilla and a good sauce on the shrimp. The crab empanadas were good too. But next time Id just get shrimp tacos. Its a very suburban Texas Tex Mex place. The clientele isnt very hip. But the shrimp tacos are actually worth a try.

I recently relocated to TX and have been sampling many different restaurants. Desperado catered an event I attended and the food was decent, but I wanted to partake in the entire dining experience so I decided to treat myself to dinner for my birthday. I was a party of one and was seated immediately. The restaurant was fairly empty, and after a considerable amount of time the waitress finally came over to take my drink order, and I placed my food order. The food arrived in reasonable time, but I never saw the waitress again after she took my order. After I finished my meal I waited another 30+ mins before someone came to see if they could remove my plate, at which time I asked for a takeout container. I waited an additional 15-20 mins until someone came and just left the check. Well, it would have been nice if I was offered the dessert menu or asked if I wanted anything else. Additionally, I needed to order takeout. After more waiting I decided to go to the hostess. Being my first time there I wasn t sure how things worked. I explained to her that the waitress never came back after taking my order, and that I wanted to add additional food to my bill. She began to retell the story in Spanish to a gentleman. I assumed he didn t speak English because she spoke to him in Spanish. He just stood there looking at me for a moment as if he was waiting for me to say something, and then rudely asked (in English) if I was ready to order. I don t know what that was all about. I ve never experienced that before. The food was decent but the service was terrible. I wish I had chosen a different place for a birthday dinner. I won t go back.

I picked up queso with chips and a dinner with a cheese enchilada and chicken enchilada. The cheese enchilada was the worst Ive ever had: greasy, not much cheese, sauce was all meat and lacked flavor. The chicken enchilada was better, but not great. The beans and rice also lacked flavor. The chips and queso were edible, but the rest of it was a waste of money.

My husband and I eat here almost every Friday night. Ask for Paulie or Javier. They are awesome. Paulie knows our orders and remembers to bring my husband a little bowl of chopped onions with his order. The food is good, and the line is usually long on Friday nights. If you go be sure to make reservations on a Friday or Saturday night. The swirl margarita (they call it the Texas Tornado) is awesome.

Easily some of the best Mexican food in Dallas. We went on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. We had a 15 minute wait but it was worth it. We sat down and learned it was happy hour all day and $4 margaritas. That wasn t even the best part. The food. Simply amazing. We shared the Fajitas for 2 and our friends got some outstanding dishes as well. The service was on point as well. We sat on the patio on a beautiful day at the end of January. That s right. JANUARY. It was great. We will be back for sure!!

Been many times now. Older established restaurant with a dedicated clientele. Really good food and really good service. This is the old family tex mex restaurant with the classics that didnt sell out. Worth the trip for the comfort food of your childhood in Dallas.

I recently dined at Desperados Mexican Restaurant Dos and ordered a veggie Fajita. The server, upon bringing my order, was honest enough to inform me that the beans contained meat. They graciously canceled the order without issue. Its rare to encounter such honesty, and I believe it should be acknowledged and rewarded. Hence, I am writing this review to express my appreciation for their integrity and customer service.

Its a good place, food is good, just not amazing. Salsa is ok but dont have a spicy one. The staff is always friendly and its busy all the time. Just not my favorite Mexican food around!

I dont care how special you feel your dog is, they should not be allowed in resturants or on resturant patios where people are eating. So disgusting and will not be back because of that

Way too many steps. Bathroom smelled like a sewer. Horrible heartburn after watered down margaritas.

Love Desperados! The Garland / Richardson location is tucked away and easy to forget about, but I m here to tell you - GO! We most recently had a team lunch for 7 people. The price was very reasonable. The service was fast and friendly. I had the Tuesday special - Guiso de Puerco con Chile Cascabel - and it was delicious! It s not my usual texmex pick, and I m glad I branched out! Desperados tacos are also always a fan favorite.

Easy 5 star. The desperado tacos [steak ] are the best tacos Ive ever had. But what makes desperados even more special than the food is the people. Great combination of both really!

I could not give them 5 stars because they have a serious gnat problem at the bar. I came Saturday 11/18/23 and sat at the bar for dinner with a friend. The drink and appetizer I had was good but I had to fight gnats the entire time. I opted to take my dinner home to eat in peace. I felt bad for the people who did not sit at the bar and had to wait for their server to pick up their drink order because there were gnats all over them. The food was fantastic to say the least, just very turned off by the gnats at the bar.
