At its flagship location, you'll find a charming patio area and casual-chic interior. Highlights include the mole enchiladas, pozole verde, arrachera (mesquite grilled skirt steak) and budin azteca (a cheesy layered tortilla casserole that's similar to lasagna). Great food and service, plus a killer cocktail menu make Meso Mayo an indisputable must in downtown Dallas.
