Ely's Mexican Grill

I decided to stop in and it was 10 minutes before their Closing time! Yes I know poor planning on my part. I was greeted as if I was the first customer of the day! I asked to sit a the bar as to not make a mess of the clean dining room. Being so late I asked what would be convenient, to which I was told everything is available, by whom I find out later is one of the owners. I ordered Barbacao tacos, charro beans, with two chicken tamales. With chips and salsa. Let me start with the Homemade chips, fresh homemade Salsa that is perfectly done absolutely could eat a gallon of it. The Barbacoa tacos, close your eyes imagine being at a cookout and they pull back the tarp and leaves from the buried jowls, the taste is that authentic. True Mexican not Tex Mex! The Charro Beans are absolutely amazing flavorful and a large portion. The Tamales are definitely something I will be asking to order a dozen or more to take home, large hearty well filled great tasting. For me coming in so late I was completely shocked that I was treated so well, fed well and this is now a Must Goto place for Us. The Owners are extremely Nice people.

Based on previous reviews, you'd think this place was awesome. Food was decent, but... you better check your tickets closely. We had a group on 3 separate checks. All 3 checks were overcharged with items we didn't order. One in our group ordered a Non-alcoholic pineapple. The ticket showed a higher price than the menu. We were told "you got the one with Alcohol"... well, we didn't order the Alcohol drink and if there was Alcohol in it, sure couldn't tell. All together, our 3 tickets were $25 more than they should have been. They fixed the tickets, but it was much more of an ordeal than it should have been. I won't recommend you not to go, just check your tickets carefully.

Menu app does not work with Android. Print too small to read. Finally came up with one menu. Server half-listened to our order and acted like he couldn't get away quick enough. This place used to be great. Will not be back.

We stopped by this little spot otw home to Oklahoma; we’ve been in Dallas for 3 days and this was by far our fave spot. The food is amazing, everything is authentic, the staff is friendly and attentive. I had the pork (asada) street tacos w/charro beans and rice…😍 10/10 My companion ordered a shrimp tostada that was out of this world! We will definitely make this a regular stop on our visits to Texas.
