About Us
Desperados Mexican Restaurant has been serving Dallas area residents real dishes from the heart of Mexico and traditional Tex-Mex favorites for more than 43 years. Many of the original menu entrees are still available as they nicely complement the newer and more contemporary menu selections. They like to say "We are not Fancy we are Family (…well maybe we can be a little fancy)." Their Guacamole is recognized as one of the city’s best, the Desperados Tacos are world famous, and the Chili Con Carne is a Terlingua Chili Champion to name a few but, let’s not forget the Five-Time award winner of the Best Margarita in Dallas. Since the beginning Desperados has always considered itself a different Mexican experience and they are proud to say that most people agree. You are invited to come in and enjoy this delicious Dallas original.
