Te Deseo - Dallas, Texas

I went to this place to celebrate a friends birthday. The decor was nice and cozy, we had a large party so we sat in a section outside of the main dining area which was nice. The prices are decent however my only issue was they didn’t have a ton of seafood options, which most restaurants normally don’t unfortunately. Mostly everyone was nicely dressed which was nice but it seemed like the dress code was just a suggestion.

I had the cod dish with a side of rice. The dish was $30+ and the server recommended I add a side of rice to complement it, I’m confused as to why this dish didn’t come with rice to begin with? The dish was colorful and nicely plated, but not the most seasoned, BUT THE RICE WAS GOOD! Our waiter was also very friendly and helpful. Overall it was a nice experience!

My boyfriend and I celebrated our two year anniversary at this restaurant. The atmosphere was incredible, very lively! And the entrées we ordered were absolutely mouthwatering. But I will say, even though we had our reservation, it took over 30 minutes to get seated, and our waiter came off a bit cold and standoffish. But I know they are human so I gave them some grace, you never know when someone could be having a bad day. But overall 10/10 would recommend ❤️

My wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary here. This was the perfect nightcap of our evening. The setting was intimate and personal, the entire staff was friendly and courteous. The food was freshly prepared. The drinks were DELICIOUS. We’ll definitely visit again

To start there’s a dress code desperate to make this place feel more exclusive and important than it is. The flavorless margarita and apparent build your own tacos with the fattiest barbacoa meat I’ve ever had left much to be desired. The almost completely empty restaurant speaks for itself I suppose. It’s a shame because the ambiance and our server were very nice.

Quick trip from OKC, have been wanting to try this place. Beautiful decor, inside and out. We came on a Sunday, where there is an option to sample lots of tapas style plates. This offered a great variety of of things to try. We ordered the flaming skull dessert, did not disappoint. Pretty cool thing to see, much BIGGER than we expected. ?

Overall, a great experience. We got an online reservation and utilized Complimentary valet parking. The vibe was very moody and trendy; good service overall. Definitely order something off the dessert menu - the Choco taco was great. All cocktails can be made non-alcoholic. The chips/queso were so good too.

To Robert, the GM at Te Deseo. I appreciate you for reaching out and correcting our bad experience and making it a wonderful one. The food was absolutely delicious, although I didn't get my skull yet, I will definitely be returning again. Christian, our waiter was superb this go around. If you haven't been, it's definitely a must. Thank you, Te Deseo **UPDATE

***UPDATE 8/3/24 I have personally spoken with the GM, and he offered to make it right. He has invited me and my guest for a night out. He was really nice and apologized for the horrible experience. He sounded very sincere, and I will take him up on his offer soon. I will update then and do a whole new review.

UPDATE!! AS OF 7/26/24 Be AWARE
Keep your receipt because if your server is Christan, he will update your tip without your consent. I don't have my receipt anymore, but I will be disputing the charge and calling since I left my contact information and no one has called me from their relations department yet. You give bad service, you get the tip you deserve, not what YOU want to give yourself. *

This was our first time here, the ambiance was nice, the food was great, my drink Deseama was wonderful. Now, the waiter Christian lacked customer service. When we walked in for our reservation, we had to wait a few minutes, so we went to the bar, grabbed one drink, and our table was ready. Waiter never asked for our drink, I had to ask for a drink. We ordered our food and fajitas, and we had to ask for tortillas because it didn't come with the plate. He said tranquila the kitchen is getting them ready. I'm thinking wow the food is going to get cold before they come out."" Finally, they came. He never really checked on us, never asked if I wanted another drink, never refilled the soda on the table, and we had to ask for that as well. We wanted dessert, but he seemed to rush to worry about anything we needed, so we didn't ask for anything. He brought the tab and no pen, not even a thank you, just gave me my tab and walked away. What could have been a great first experience was definitely not. It left a bad taste, to say the least. I doubt I return, I had been so anxious to check this place out and finally had the chance for service to ruin our first time here.

Upscale restaurant, beautiful ambience. Really good service. Our server “Gio” was really good. My wife and I had the Picada Argentina and the flaming chocolate skull for desert. Food was pretty good. They also provide valet parking at no cost.
