Campuzano Reviews

Delicious! Loved the shrimp quesadillas, variety of salsa and the tortilla soup. Cool atmosphere too. Everything was great.

Campuzano has great food. Delicious tacos & fajitas. 3 sauces with chips- each a unique flavor. The margs are outstanding. Might be my favorite in the city. Two reasons for only 4 star rating- bar stools are very uncomfortable. Wait is always long. Sometimes the music is way too loud. I get increasing the energy but not being able to hear your guests is a problem.

this is the city that has more tex mex than even burger and steak joints as far as conventional restaurants go and i thought campuzano food beat many i've tried here. i'm a native so that's saying alot. service was good and no super loud music for lunch on a friday which was pleasant since i was visiting with 5 other employees from our office and we were enjoying conversation. good chips and salsas, margarita packed a punch, too. i'd highly recommend this place for your next tex mex crave.

My wife and I went here thinking it was another place I had been before. It wasn't, but we thought we would give it a try. The food was very good, but over priced. She had a1/2 chicken quesadillo that cost $12. Mine was an enchilada plate, also $12. Honestly the food can be as good for half the price.

The food here is among the best Mexican food in the area. This is the second time we've eaten there and we enjoyed the tacos so much last time, we couldn't bring ourselves to order something different this time. We did, however, branch out and have the brisket tacos and fish tacos this time, where we had the fajita chicken last time. The pico, hot sauce and guacamole sauce were excellent, but the hot sauce is about the best I've had. The wait staff was polite, promt, friendly. The best! The chips are hot, crisp, crunchy and the margaritas were exceptional. I highly recommend this place.

Dark menus with small font were difficult to read; I had to use my phone flashlight. The loud music was so overpowering, I couldn't pay attention to what I was eating, and even though the restaurant was not busy on a Tuesday evening, service was inattentive and my water glass was empty for most of our visit. I'd skip this one. Dallas has better places to eat...try Zaguan Latin bakery in the next block.

Good food and not crowded for lunch. Cool atmosphere with the windows open if you seat in the front near the bar.

I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant while on a business trip to Dallas. I enjoyed one of their margaritas, which was a bit strong but tasty. I had the Mexican Guiso as my main course which was delicious and just the right level of spiciness. For desert I had sopapillas and recommend them highly.

I was there with friends on Saturday night. Had a 20 min wait, which was totally reasonable considering how busy they were. This was my first time here on a Sat night and it was more of a party atmosphere. Music was very loud. Food was really good, but it did take a while to get it. Food ordered was enchiladas, ceviche, and filet. No complaints from anyone. Also, the chips and salsa are great! Overall I recommend.

Although this place was really crowded (We visited on a Friday night), the food was phenomenal. Everything tasted amazing. I had the ceviche and we shared the World Famous Campuzano Nachos & it was all so good. Our server was friendly and very good as well! Will definitely go back when we are in Dallas again!

My husband and I went to Campuzano about two weeks ago. The food was great and so was the service The one thing that I noticed was all of the servers were men. They were good at their job from being able to tell you the ingredients a particular dish had to keeping your glass full of soda, tea etc. The food was delicious! The Salsa and chips were ever so good. We enjoyed the main meal and was too full for dessert. The serving portions were quite large. There was enough in one serving to share with your company.

First, the food is no better than Taco Bell. Second, the service sucks!!!! Finally, I came out of the restaurant and found the valet parker was sitting in my car with the air running. I called the manager, and his response was “uh huh.... and?” He said the valet service is a separate company and the restaurant wasn’t responsible. I said regardless it’s a reflection of the restaurant. I am livid and I will never go to this crappy place again. My whole lunch was ruined. Let me be clear .... the valet sitting in my car with it running was just annoying (at almost $3/gallon, I am not paying for his comfort). What made me livid was the manager’s response that he didn’t, nor would he ever, give a s*!t about his customers.

We were visiting Dallas and decided to try this Mexican restaurant because it had good reviews. We were very impressed. The staff was super nice and attentive. The place had great decor on the inside. The free chips come with three different types of salsa, which were all very different and very good. The chips were also warm and fresh. My husband had the shrimp stuffed poblano pepper, and I had tacos with beans and rice and everything was great. Our server was “Barto#501” and he was awesome. We will definitely be back next time we visit!

Although the wait was long, the outside patio/bar kept us happy. Great drinks, excellent service, and delicious food. This is a MUST when you visit Dallas. The tamarindo chamoy margarita was my favorite!

The food was amazing and our waiter Eric was amazing! We never once had to ask him for anything! We will definitely be back!

Thick chips, three salsas to chose from, lively music, and the attentive staff make for a great experience. During warmer days windows are wide open allowing for open air experience.

Leave it to Dallas to have a great place like this to eat! The food was beyond great and the staff was excellent. I would suggest splitting a dinner between two people, you get a lot of food for your money!

Fajita Fiesta is the dish here. If you order it for two, most likely a table of four could be satisfied. Chicken, beef and shrimp with ample peppers, tomatoes and onions are on this platter. Service was great!

Location is good and the atmosphere is nice too. Inside its nicely decorated too rustic charm, if you will. Nice outback seating area too. The wait staff is always amazing and the food is really good as well. Even you don't see what you want exactly they will make it for you... well for us they did on different occasions. cons - parking can be iffy and sometimes its get really loud inside... but that's only because everyone is having a great time! Try it out.

The food here is very good. The Big Red margarita is even better. That is a drink more places should have on the menu and so glad they do at Campuzano. I would give 5 stars, but they have VERY limited parking and just recently turned most of it into valet only. Great place to eat and drink, but difficult place to get in and out of with a car.

I visited solo after a business meeting and sat at the bar. The bartenders and waiters are all very friendly. The place was packed. I thought the margaritas were a little sweet for my taste but that didn't stop me from having 3! I just asked for a little shot of alcohol to knock down the sugar. I enjoyed queso with ground beef and really liked the orange salsa. They serve 3 options. I had a small chicken taco salad that was super. Will definitely return.

We ate dinner here and it was delicious! We had chicken and steak fajitas, quesadillas, and cheese queso. The portion sizes were huge, all of us had leftovers. Before our meal we were given chips with three different salsas, all of which were tasty. We went on a Monday night, and by 7:00 it was pretty busy., it seems very popular with the locals. I would definitely recommend you try this restaurant!

One order of Fajita Fiesta is a sizzling hot plate of freshly cooked seafood and fish which is enough to feed 4 people, served to the table. Fresh tortillas and great side dishes make up a wonderful authentic dining experience, which is great value. Campuzanos is a step above the usual TexMex that are ubiquitous in these parts.

Very casual and very busy!! Food was wonderful and the drinks were rather strong. Very loud in the restaurant so not an ideal place for an intimate or romantic dinner. You want a lively place with great service and great food...this is it!

Extensive margarita selection, lively atmosphere and high quality food. Love this joint! There’s usually a wait during happy hour, but worth it and they fill drink orders promptly while you wait.

Love the chimichanga steak and relleno with beef. Always get queso on top. The margaritas are also good and they have so many flavors to choose from.

i have been here 3 times and I am never disappointed. the waiters are super nice, the restaurant ambiance is cool. The food is amazing. favs include: chile relleno, puff taco, and cheese enchiladas. the rice and beans are even as good as the main entree.

I used to live around the corner and came here allllll the time for brunch. It is fabulous!!!! I always get the Texas Dinner (chicken fajita enchiladas) and they are fantastic! One of the best parts was the $5 bottomless mimosas, but since TABC cracked down on all that they are still only $2 for a big mimosa! Win in my book considering the prices of everywhere else in Dallas! The staff here is amazing as well. There's a DJ inside at brunch too - I usually opt for the back patio!! Highly recommend!! Love love love this place!

Was recommended by the driver at our hotel down the street. We sat outside in the back patio. Our waiter Guillermo was fantastic. Margaritas were 100 octane and smooth. Food came quickly and was tasty. Definitely worth giving it a try. Would return when back in Dallas.

The atmosphere is great. Small and friendly. Patio is available. Bar with great and very helpful bar tenders. Valet parking. We sat at the bar. My wife says the beef tacos were the best she has ever had. That is a huge statement. I had the señor campuzano. The filet is very thin but tender and tasty with cheese and grilled veggies all over it. I was thinking it would be thicker but it was very good. The shrimp were butterflied and grilled in shell. Nice presentation. Only criticism I have of the place is the shrinp were dry and over cooked. It's an expensive plate and I hope they make adjustments to serve the shrimp bursting with juice and flavor. We LOVED all three salsas they bring out. The orange salsa is my favorite. The guacamole was good. The staff are all great and it's a cozy place and thet have their system down and it works. This place is a long way for us to drive so we can't gonas often as we'd like. We were in Dallas shopping and were referred to this place. The flavors of all the food really is tremendous. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed. I am looking forward to trying more dishes here.

We were a group of ten and were seated at the nice patio area in the back. Our wait staff never kept us waiting. The margaritas are delicious, especially the guava flavored ones. The shrimp fajitas, combo fajita plate, chicken nachos, and shrimp nachos are great dishes to try.

It's pretty sad that what I will remember most about this restaurant is the inability to park my own car. Though this restaurant does have a few parking spaces (probably for employees), most of the spots are valet parking (and not many of those either). Food was good; fajitas had lots of meat, and the onions were cooked perfectly. The fajita salad was very good as well with plentiful ingredients. Service was adequate; I could have used some help packing up my food to take home since I had two broken wrists.

We went for dinner for 6. Ordered appetizer stuffed jalapeños. Didn't get them as appetizer. Server was going to give us with meal. Ordered diet coke on refill he gave my wife Dr pepper. Had to send it back. When dinner came two of the dishes were cold had to send them back to get redone.when asked for extra salsa was told it would be $3 extra. He had a an attitude problem over all so. We have decided not to go back there.

First time for our family of 5 to have brunch at this location. The atmosphere was great, great ambience, nice crowd and fantastic food. Great Breakfast Nachos! Portions are big! You might consider sharing.

Our first visit to this restaurant, and we would totally return! Loved the different salsas and the queso. The food was great! Waitstaff was very friendly and helpful.

Had lunch here. The pico de gallo and warm chips were a great start. We both had Mexican Guiso which was delicious. Our server was very helpful in getting the kitchen to customize the level of spiciness in our dishes. Both food and service get an A+.

Our waiter was awesome. The food was awesome. The beers were awesome. We took an Uber and I was really surprised they only had valet parking. It is a small place but the windows were all open so it was like sitting outside. This was my favorite place we ate in Dallas.

The food Is really good! I want to be Hispanic, not that the restaurant isn't Mexican. I had a half order of shrimp quesadilla and there was shrimp in every bite. The chips are cooked to perfection and you will receive a trio of salsa dips. The salsa is a little too spicy for me but I cure that problem by adding sugar, so all is still good. I would also recommend the chicken tortilla soup. Great flavor and full of meats chunks. I will certainly be back!!!!

Found this place just driving by it. Glad I did. I finally found a true Mexican restaurant in Dallas. This is not tex-mex. Fresh tortillas came to the table with 3 different salsas for dipping. They were all fantastic. Dinner showed up in a very timely manner piping hot and ready to eat. Taste and presentation were beyond WOW. Meals are not cheap here, but affordable. I would say just beyond a tight budget. There's a bar at the entrance address which is highly visible throughout the restaurant. I wouldn't recommend kids come here do to the atmosphere. A date for sure. Music is a bit loud, which would make it difficult to have a business lunch/dinner. Although the atmosphere is definitely geared around entertaining. Waiter was so concerned about quality, he even offered to replace my chips and salsas for fresh when I got done eating dinner.

This restaurant is a quaint place nestled amongst so many place. It has eclectic decor with dining available inside as well as on two different patios. Charging stations are available for a working lunch or dinner. Prices are modest and the food is excellent. A fully stocked bar for those that want a drink with dinner. I recommend this restaurant to anyone; family, friends, and business associates. Go eat and enjoy the amazing atmosphere.

We walked into a noisy restaurant that got louder as we moved to the back. Back to the front table, we were curtly asked for a drink orders. There was no eye contact with the male server (I forgot his name). He returned and I asked for a small change to the huevos rancheros (leave the tenderloin off), he seemed confused and said this was not normal. I just asked to remove something?? Anyway, our food came, my eggs and guacamole were great. The beans were as dry as clay. Moving on my friend ordered an enchilada plate and was underwhelmed. The steak and tortilla in one enchilada was dry and uneatable. This place has a fun small spot vibe, but the noise and the below average food made us nonbelievers.

Great place for al fresco dinning.... Stumbled on this place for a quick brunch Saturday morning! Great find! The Huevos Rancheros was very good and plentiful... just don't fill up on chips and the trio of salsas that they will bring you!

The food was really great. Not to mention frozen drink called the Black Uber it was awesome. They have a large selection of drinks. The staff very professional . Mindful get there early on weekend because this place is busy,busy .

Was brought chips and three different salsas right away. I ordered the shrimp fajita salad. Sooo many shrimp :) ! If you're looking for a light, healthy lunch, I'd recommend you order it with light/no cheese and substitute the sour creme with double guac. Service was on point. Would definitely go again.

Great dinner with friends and Campuzano. Warm, welcoming environment with a very interesting wall of doors - very cool! The wait staff was excellent and our meals were good to very good. I was a little disappointed at the fajitas for two... just kind of plain-tasting meat - am accustomed to more marinated flavors. I'd definitely return again, but would likely order something else!

Loved the chips and salsa. For our entrees we ordered the Beef and Chicken Chimichanga’s. Both were very good. We also ordered the Chicken Fajitas to go and had that for lunch/dinner the next day. Portion size was large and very filling. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Quickly earned a "favorite" status after opening. Extraordinary food. However, the deafening bar/dance music playing and out of control party noise in recent months makes it not worth a trip. Staff seemed to be offended when asked to turn down the volume although there were only 8-10 tables occupied.

We decided to try this place out while in town. It was loud and crowded and we were advised there was a 45 minute wait. Luckily some seats outside opened up and we were able to get seated sooner vs. waiting in line. The service outside was very good but the food was just average. I ordered the Filet and my Fiancé ordered the Carne Asada. My filet was very tender but everything seemed to lack flavor. My Fiancé's Carne Asada was also bland and a little tough. Chips and Salsa and good top shelf margaritas. But probably would choose another place next time. Too many really good spot in the area to settle for average.

As a disclaimer the rest of my family likes this restaurant more than I did. I did feel it was a little far outside of downtown to travel when there are better options closer if you’re staying right downtown. The atmosphere was very busy and there was a buzz to the place but it was a bit too dark. I had the fish with zucchini. The zucchini and the beans on the plate were amazing, the fish was take it or leave it. We also tried the 3 jumbo prawn dish, flavors were there but prawns a little dry. All in all if you’re in the area it’s not a bad spot, but I wouldn’t drive in from anywhere for it. Family friendly.

This place was recommended by our doorman at the hotel. We had the beef fajitas natchos - best I’ve had in a long time. Jalapeño margarita was spicy and tasty as well. Wished they had draft on tap but a wide selection of beers in the bottle.

Tried this place during a teacher conference. We really enjoyed our meal. They have lunch specials Monday through Friday. 3 types of salsas and flavorful food.

I enjoyed a nice dinner on a Friday evening and was really glad we arrived early (6:30) as the restaurant was full and there was a “line” waiting to enter the restaurant by 8 pm. Valet parking is pretty much required, I think, as the parking is limited but the staff seemed to handle this just fine. Great margaritas and there is a full bar. Staff is friendly and fun! I would certainly eat at this restaurant again.

Dallas is a haven for Mexican Food lovers,but this place should be near bottom of the list. A small intimate place with outdoor seating,valet parking and good service. However the food is ordinary and somewhat overpriced . Taco plate with rice and beans 15.00. What could be a positive experience is ruined with loud ,loud music .With hard surfaces and the offensive music a normal conversation is impossible. A request to change to perhaps Christmas music( it was the week before Christmas) was met with a blank stare and that the absent owner chose the playlist. With all the choices of great and varied Mexican food in the neighborhood we will not be frequenting this establishment again after 3 attempts.

The outdoor patio upfront is awesome. Food was amazing and staff very very friendly. Definitely I must stop when downtown on a weekend

Went for 1st visit today. Fun atmosphere where you can dress down and hangout with friends. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The food and margaritas was average.

I had lunch here, and will try to go back for dinner. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The sauces on the table with the chips were spicy, but not so hot that you couldn't taste the flavors. Chalupa and enchiladas and tacos were excellent! Lunch specials!! Fast service!

We went there for dinner and I ordered the fajita salad with chicken. The chicken was cut so small and the salad was covered by cheese. I don't think I will go back!

Came here with friend from out of town and we loved it. We had mimosa and guacamole with chips and queso to start and it was very good. We ordered fajitas for two and they where cooked just right. Overall it was wonderful!

I went here for dinner for a party, and wow was the food fantastic. I ordered the chicken fajitas. You can TOTALLY share this with someone. It was huge! The drinks were flowing, the atmosphere was great! I would recommend this place. Valet parking lot gets full quick, so just park in the parking lot next door for free. Come early because lines and large groups take up this tiny place quick.

In comparsion, the food here is less than average, service was great, our server was attentive to our needs, outdoor bench seating was comfortable.

We love the food here so far. Have been 3 times and the food has been good all 3 times. Good service and nice atmosphere. Small back patio and bar type chairs on front porch. 8-10 chairs at the bar inside too. Bar Keep is always very busy. The 3 salsas/sauces are very good. The Diablo sauce is my favorite. Smoky and hot. Guacamole sauce and house salsa are the other two. I had the fish this time. The bar keep called it sea bass. I cannot be sure that is sea bass but it was but it was very good. Their tacos are very good in our opinion to. Guacamole very fresh and tasted great to us. I've had fajitas in the past that were good. The menu has a good variety. Brunch is available on Saturday. Maybe Sunday too? Yes parking could be a hassle at times. They have a parking lot on the right side of the place but can fill up quickly. Staff have been excellent on our 3 trips. I like the wood bar and tables and shutters out on the front porch. Really like spending some time here with a drink and some good food.

Enjoyed a great lunch there! Good food and service! The location is convenient with a good atmosphere. Hope to get back soon!

The need for chips and salsa led me to Campuzano, as I had not tried since this location opened over a year ago. Restaurant has a fun atmosphere, and a welcoming front patio porch. I opted for the Pechuga a la Parilla, grilled chicken breast topped with Monterrey Jack Cheese, which is served with guacamole and charro beans. Parking is the only challenge, as I opted for a spot around the corner. Glenn Almack

If you're a local, Campuzano's has completed their secobd year in this smaller intimate oasis. If you're a traveler, this is a great friendly introduction to Dallas TexMex without the weighty big room crowds. Lunch is slow and liquid, dinner is long and generous. There's a patio and un nice weather even an open window. My favorite margarita, and shrimp diablo. Grilled meals are great, steaks generous. Parking is tight but consider Uber and another drink. Great staff.

The parking is bad & the place is small but the food is delicious. All of our food was enjoyed by everyone. The staff worked as a team. So even if our server was not around. Others would re fill our drinks & chips. I also like how they have a place to recharge your cell phones. I'm not sure if they all work bcs we could never get ours to charge. Although food was delicious & service was good. I don't plan to return because of the parking.

I've been to Campuzano's a few times for lunch. If you get there early you can find parking & get seated right away. The parking lot is TINY (they have valet at night) so if you don't get there early during lunch I'm not sure where you can park. The lunch specials are very reasonable, you can get one enchilada with rice & beans for only $5.

Nice place for happy hour with friends. Food isn't the best and a little pricey but the atmosphere and friendly staff make it worth the visit. Also, doesn't make sense to have valet parking when the parking lot is empty. I walked further to valet then if I parked myself.

Something changed in the kitchen. The food has become very pedestrian and bland. There are now better choices nearby for the price. Had such great promise and appeal when first opened.

Quaint restaurant with some different offerings, which makes this stand out over other cliche restaurants. Parking is small, but as mentioned, valet available if needed. Portions very large, taste was awesome. Drinks were fantastic- great variety of mojitos. Nothing overly spicy, great smokey taste in their "spicy" hot sauce. Would definitely recommend if you're in area.

Surprised this place has an excellent service. Attentive staff and really fast food and great food too. I love seafood and I ordered the grilled shrimp. It was so yummy and everyone else ordered differently but all enjoyed their food. Need to valet but it is complimentary I'm not overly crazy with their margarita.

We were at a market show and were directed to Campuzanos. From Valet parking to check presentation these guys are amazing. I have not seen such timely, courteous and prompt service. I'd like to meet the owner and shake his hand (or her!) This was on a very busy evening. Great spot. Second time here and so far they're batting 110%. PS. Good amazing too! R

We are very picky foodies & couldn't find anything wrong with this place! The BEST jalapeno poppers I've ever had. Hot, fresh chips & a TRIO of salsas brought to the table. Sangria Swirl, perfecto! The special Nachos were covered with meats & cheeses! Great looking tomatoes & generous guacamole! We WILL be back

We were in town for a hospital visit and were told it was good Mexican food. We decided to try it. It was pretty good. We ordered the Trio Fajitas, which were delicious and generous portions. They had 3 different dipping sauces, which were all fabulous. They had tons of different flavored Margaritas to choose from, if your a Margarita drinker. The staff were friendly and kept our drinks and chips refilled. It was a nice meal and experience. It has a small parking lot, so be prepared to have you car valet parked.

Stopped in for a bite to eat while visiting Scottish Rite Hospital with our son. The restaurant is beautiful and we very much enjoyed the open air environment. Service was so fast and everything had wonderful flavor. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

WOW. This was very very good. The bartenders, waiters & hostess were very nice and attentive. The food was exceptional. The 3 salsas served with the chips are a good variety (mild to spicy). The brisket tacos, recommended by the bartender, were excellent. The Pescado a la Parrilla also excellent. The guacamole salad is simply guacamole with a fancy name, but don't miss it. It was very good. We really enjoyed our meal. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive and friendly. When back in Dallas, we will definitely be back!
