Why Go

Elleño is what Tex-Mex looks like when a serious chef gets involved. The queso blanco is genuinely otherworldly — silky, flavorful, deeply addictive. The margarita program is equally serious. Lively atmosphere, great for groups, and the perfect bridge between authentic Mexican food and Dallas dining culture.
