About the restaurant
Mesero is beyond Tex Mex, but lives up to its promise of Mexican Spirit American Life. One taste of the iconic Queso Mesero and brisket tacos will keep you coming back for more. The shrimp loaded ceviche is truly crave worthy. Be sure not to skip the amazing drink list, it’s the best part!

We had a great meal and a fantastic time. Jose and his staff do a great job. The food came quickly and was delicious. The margaritas were the best in DFW, and the prices are good. What more can you want?

About the restaurant
Whereas traditional Tex-Mex uses a Santa Maria Grill, Tex-Que derives from our offset Smoker to cook all of our proteins and incorporate them into our inclusive menu. Smoky Rose offers all of the Texas staples from our top rated Brisket Queso, to our delicious smoked Brisket Tacos. We have it all - made fresh in our scratch kitchen. Bring your furry friends to our dog park and enjoy the beautiful weather at our patio with live music every weekend. Located right across from the Dallas Arboretum.

Address: 8602 Garland Rd. Dallas, TX 75218.

Smoky Rose is good. In East Dallas in the Fall like tonight, it’s incredible! First the Valets! They were buried. Lots of valets more drivers. I parked my car, gave them keys and name, they hunted me down on restaurant to give me my ticket. Check in seamless. Christina waitress, absolutely a gem. I last was here July 4, 2021. 100 plus. Food was good then, service too. But Lord have mercy it was hot And not near the size it is today . That tells you how successful this place is . We both had Carne Asada medium rare, and it was good. Both had the house margarita and it was good. We were going to a concert at flagpole Hill. So service was prompt, professional, courteous, and outstanding. With the volume of plates that these people put out in such a short period of time , The food was exactly like it should be reliable and delicious . The food is priced perfect for the area and, by the crowd size this evening people have no problem, affording the wonderful foodservice, and atmosphere this smoky rose provides ! Check out was perfect valet had my car and a short few moments and we went

Excellent service. The waitress was attentive, but did not constantly interrupt our meal. As always at Mesero, the food was delicious.
