Best brunch ever and definitely will get your money's worth. Get 1 entree you'll get unlimited mimosas for $1 a piece until 3pm on Sunday.. service was great that even the host/MOD will ask what you want to drink. You are always well takin care of. If there's a party, a conga line will go around and everyone in the conga line will be blessed with a shot of tequila. They invite everyone to join. If you want to have a sunday funday come to this place and you won't be disappointed. Will be booking my 28th birthday weekend here�.
Best TexMex brunch spot in Dallas!! Food is always good! I recommend the chicken nachos, brisket tacos, either of their soups... Service is even better! They have great specials at brunch and throughout the week.
This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. Food is delicious, bottomless chips and salsa, super good margaritas and other drinks and a good mix of music. Me and hubby love to sit outside on the patio. For some reason it makes us feel like we're on vacation �. We took friends and family and they loved it too. I definitely recommend it to everybody.
This is the best place ever! The food is excellent and the staff is so personable! My place!
I walked in during a rainstorm and left with the sun shining. As soon as you walk in you’re greeted with an authentic and genuine warm welcome. The food is so wonderful it would take another review for me to get into details, but just know I have never had anything bad come out of that kitchen.
$1 mimosas for brunch? Challenge accepted
Delicious Chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce? Sounds like a good breakfast to me.
Need some service? The owner was helping fill waters and make sure we were taken care of. I can get behind that service any day.
You better believe they will see this mustached face at their place again.
Victor was our server today and he went above and beyond for my complicated order. Will definitely return and recommend to all my friends
This place and staff did an amazing job last night. We had a party over 25 people and they treated us like royalty from the moment we made reservations. The food was delish and the service was impeccable. I don't know how these few individuals did it but everyone at our party was impressed with their service. Keep up the amazing job and a big thank you to our server from last night,, you are a rock star!
My husband and I went for the first time Sunday. The food is excellent. Price is well worth what you get. Service is above and beyond. Staff was friendly. Everything I had from a glass of tea to the white queso dip to the Cajeta Cheescake was delicious. I will definitely be back..by the way I am going tonight (two days later). You have to try this place if you have never been. I believe you will love it like I do. My favorite Mexican Restaurant now!
Excellent atmosphere and place to eat. Food is great and great place for Sunday brunch.
Best restaurant ever!!! We had our wedding dinner with over 60 people!! Jose made our dinner reservation such a delight!!! Thank you for the amazing service!!!!!
Awesome service and great staff. Food was great!! Definitely recommend!
They don't advertise that they have so many options that are gluten-free, but they should. Rice and beans GF. Corn enchiladas with all the sauces GF. Sauces made with corn starch. Ceviche fresh. Ask for the Manager Jose and he will tell you every ingredient. I eat here every week. Tuesday is 1/2 price night!
Great food the service was amazing! Best place for Mexican food!! Loved it!
Always a great time. Ive been going there for years since the beginning. Owners are great people and staff always takes excellent care of us. Food is good too!
I absolutely love this place!! Celebrated my 40th birthday their for brunch with my family and friends; the staff was Absolutely AWESOME!!!
Love it! Have a blast every time I go. Great food. Excellent service. Mimosas on point!!
Showed up and took patio seating. Friday's happy hour allllll night long!! $3.50! Chips and salsa.... AMAZING. White dip queso was spectacular. Not to mention the chicken enchiladas! Nothing bad to say about this restaurant. It's even CHEAP!!! Omg so happy. GET YALLS BOOTIES TO MARACAS.
Pretty good enviromemt with great outdoor covered seating and delicious salsa! The margaritas are tasty and thats just the house one! Top class tacos, a true treat!
Live music, friendly staff, light up drinks from the bar, Congo lines, chips and salsa - what's not to love? The brisket enchiladas were delish but still nothing like the ones from our favorite Mexican cuisine restaurant- Frankie's.
Great Salsa. I have been coming to Dallas on business for several months now and always make sure that I hit Maracas for high-quality margaritas - the way God intended them to be made, without sour mix. What keeps me coming back is their killer habanero salsa. Served hot - physically and chemically - it is sure to keep you sweating. I highly reccommend this unassuming restaurant in the funky Deep Ellum area
Writing a glowing review for the folks at Maracas is the least I can do for the hard work that went into making my wife's Birthday special!
The food was great but the service and entertainment was spectacular! We had 30 people and the staff worked quickly and was very accommodating for such a large group.
We brought in our own cake and dropped it off three hours before our reservation so we could enjoy the Deep Ellum Arts Festival. When it was time for dessert, they brought it out with candles lit, then took it back to the kitchen to cut and serve. Perfect service!
The live music was also incredible! They involved us the entire evening because they knew our party was there. My wife got to dance on stage and lead the Conga line (complete with Tequila shot)!
Overall, it was an awesome experience especially given how busy things were with the Arts Festival.
Muchas Gracias!
Nice joint, with forward thought Mexican grub. Friendly staff, live music on Saturday nights- Chilo. Good spot.
Good Food and Service. I stopped in "Maracas" (the new name) for a quick dinner at the bar. Service was fast, courteous, competent, and he made a good drink to boot.
Dinner was the brisket tacos (authentic Mexican taco style, NOT TexMex) with a double side of black refried beans and no rice. It was served promptly with all the food at a proper temp or hotter. There was also a green hot cilantro sauce, as well as fresh lime slices on the side. The tacos were very good, but maybe could have had a bit more spice. Maybe not? They were good either way. The beans were very good, but just slightly under-seasoned (a shake of salt fixed that).
Service was impeccable, as were the accommodations.
Worth a repeat.
Something a bit different than you'd expect. Monica was making her trendy interpretation of Mexican food before it became fashionable. Years later, the food is still top notch. Marry that with a cool surroundings, top-notch mood bands in the evenings, and their sangria swirl, and you're bound to impress your companion.
Food was great...loved the chips and salsa.
Half off Tuesdays. Monica's has half off their entire menu on Tuesdays. Great time to try something you would not normally eat. Staff is friendly and they have some traditional items on the menu along with the "Gringo Mexican" standards.
Went traditional with the tamal & mole, both were excellent. Service was excellent on a quiet Sunday night however sometimes that can be the worst if they're bored.

Mexican food with a twist. Geared towards the yuppie crowd of Dallas but they serve really good food at a moderate price it in Deep Ellum stop by Monica's...
Friendly staff parking sucks.
Brunch is so much better here. They have the Mexican lasagna, breakfast calzone & the famous queso. $1.00 mimosas & margaritas
Great Brunch. I went to Monica's last Sunday for Brunch and was pleasantly surprised! The food there is great and they have Mimosa's for just $1. I enjoyed the Torta Cubano which was basically a Cuban Sandwich with bread that had a hint of sweetness, and refried beans, and pork, with lettuce and tomato. My only 2 complaints about this place is that I wish my dish a just a little more meat, and I didn't like the paint color at the restaurant-Blood Red. Would definitely go back!
The food is very flavorful and enjoyable. I went on a Sunday for brunch. Can’t beat $1 mimosas! Do know, you only get three for $1 each, and you must get at least three. I ordered one and our waitress brought all three out at once. I really enjoyed their chips and salsa. Expect to spend at least $10-15 per entree. Service is decent. My only complaint is the parking situation. The lot across the street was $10 for all day parking. The spaces are very tiny and the lot is tight.
This has been our go to place in Deep Ellum for almost 20 years. Sadly, it never has a big crowd, but it does make it easy to get in and out. Parking is not the easiest.
The Tex Mex food is always tasty. Usually very good service!
Everything was good and delicious. The manager and waiter made sure we was refilled and had fresh chips until our food came out. We also got fresh chips and salsa for the house but only one thing, the salsa smelled weird and the beans smelled and tasted funny the very next morning (our leftovers)
Fell in love during my first visit. A Saturday afternoon brunch. $1 mimosas. No crowd. Wonderful staff. Great atmosphere. Delicious food. I ordered the Maracas breakfast taco (2 tacos, black beans, potatoes) meal and a single pancake. Everything was amazing. Potatoes cooked and seasoned perfectly. Black beans are a hit, especially if you eat with tortilla chips. Tacos were great. Pancake big and fluffy. I can't wait to go back.
Food was good, chips were warm and the salsa was nice, which was good because it took surprisingly long for us to get our food considering it was as sparsely populated as it was in the early afternoon on a weekday. I didn't get breakfast, but if you like breakfast-y Mexican, with eggs and so forth, the menu is definitely worth having a look at.
I came for a Sunday brunch with my girlfriends because they have $1 mimosas. They came out with two per person, and then offered to bring us the bottles for $10. They split it between us all, and it was very reasonably priced. Their menu is VERY gluten friendly and delicious. and their service is amazing!
Went for lunch as a 13 person team, they handled the entire experience with grace. The drinks were there within minutes of arrival. After the order, we had unlimited chips and dip to snack on as we wait. This is now standard servicing, I love it. I order the massive Texas Burrito 🌯 - which was delicious! Bathrooms were clean, always a plus. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and stay here and will for sure be back for the enchiladas! Grab your friends, some drinks and have some good times! 👍
FANTASTIC service! Authentic food, TIMELY service, friendly staff, unique menu that still keeps classics at the heart of it all. STRONG MARGARITAS! Jessy is the bomb!
Service is great! Everyone is prompt on drinks and refills. Would definitely come back! Food was great.
A great Mexican spot in the heart of Deep Ellum on main Street. Staff is very friendly and the Chips and Salsa are to die for. Will definitely be coming back.
The food is pretty good at this place. It was pretty crowded on a Friday night but the food came out quickly. The house margarita is ok. There is constant music playing to give good vibe. The only thing I don’t like is the set up of the tables. If you get a bad seat, you can feel like everyone is staring at you.
So our server was super nice and gave us great service with the help of the bus boy which he did a great job. The food here is pretty delicious and they have one dollar mamosas. Check this place out for some brunch and good times.
This was a nice little spot, the crowd was a little older so no drama..well not much drama should I say. The drinks were decent and decently priced. The roof top area is a great place to be to watch the sun set. The manger was cool and was fully dressed for the 4th of July! It's definitely a good concert hall with the set up it has.

After walking in the heat for what seemed like hours today it felt like a miracle to find Maracas open and welcoming to my friend and I. We were warmly welcomed by the AC and the staff. We were sat in a corner booth with a table between us and another couple. Throughout the restaurant physical distancing was being practiced with tables between parties. The staff wore masks and wiped down the tables between customers. To cut down on any exchanges their menus are only accessible via QR code on their tables. It was super easy to pull up and access. We decided after checking out the menu to share an order of their chicken nachos. The nachos took a while to come out, but we munched on their chips and salsa. I decided to get one of their margaritas that were only a $1 with an entree. I think this is the reason for them being a little thin and watered down. But, it did have an okay flavor.
The flavor was helped with their delicious nachos. Their nachos were individual chips generously topped with chicken and pully cheese. In the center was generous portions of guacamole, jalapeños, sour cream, and pickled onions/cabbage. So yummy!
We hung out for about 30 minutes or so more and got to chat with the owner who was so nice! One of the hostesses asked us to return and we definitely will!
Yes! It's a great spot for brunch. They have $1 mimosas and they give you a hefty pour of the champagne too. Their waitstaff was all friendly and worked quickly to get food out when there was a 30 minute wait for people. Food was decent but their fajitas lack a lot of meat you would expect normally.
really great enchiladas and tacos, remarkable Mexican comfort food, great happy hour bar, try the mole... yum!
This place is awesome great waitress and great food and drinks
