   The architecture and design (inside and outside) is stunningly beautiful - fabulous attention to detail and superbly executed / superbly maintained. Great wait staff, reasonable prices, solid cocktails, tacos, and apps. Nothing not to love for an upscale casual dining or drink experience, and plenty to appreciate.

   Special menu for Valentines Day. Lobster Bisque was amazing. Every bit as good as the bisque at Dino’s Steak and Claw House, but with bigger chunks of lobster. Drinks were reasonably priced. Short rib was very tender and flavorful. Snapper was well prepared on lobster risotto. Sauce was on point. Tort was exceptional. First time guest but will definitely visit again in the future.

   We booked a reservation on Open Table for dinner NYE at Two Mules Cantina for the first time. When we arrived, they did not have our reservation and proceeded to tell us they had a special NYE buffet dinner priced at $85 person. They also told us to find our own table. This info was not posted on the website nor Open Table. Because we also had tickets to a Murder Mystery show at that location for NYE, we decided to try the buffet. In short, the buffet was worth maybe $30 a person. Certainly not what they charged. This was not a good dining experience. As such, we do not recommend Two Mules Cantina.

   We made a reservation through Open Table but when we arrived there was a special event taking place and we were told we couldn’t keep our reservation. We’ve been staying at Texican Court and eating at Two Mules Cantina for years, celebrating birthdays, watching football games, celebrating other events with friends…so we were saddened to hear the host tell us the reservation wasn’t honored. In my opinion, Open Table should have been alerted by Two Mules Cantina about the special event so that if reservations were not being accepted during that time, no one would have been able to make them. Or there could’ve been a plan in place for what to do should Open Table still allow reservations. Hopefully, this can be a learning experience that can be helpful for better planning, next time there’s a special event. It’s sad to have long-time customers disappointed by something that could have been rectified and turned into a “win win” to share good news about customer service. We stay at all of the Valencia boutique hotels. They’re all great! This was just a one time experience with Two Mules Cantina. OpenTable has always been trustworthy to reflect available reservations. This time must have been due to lack of communication by Two Mules Cantina.

   Enjoyable and rustic outdoor seating available. Food and service was good-especially Happy Hour prices. Live music when we dined outside under a warm star filled sky.

   Our party of 4 went for dinner at 7 PM on a Tuesday evening. It's a really neat restaurant that's in the Texican Hotel. It's right across the street from the Westin hotel/Irving Convention Center. We all ordered the chicken enchiladas, everyone enjoyed them. The waitress said they were one of the more popular menu items. Top Shelf margarita was great. Service was good, food came out promptly.

   The food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by the professional management and staff are the main reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure that everything about the dining experience is excellent. I highly recomend this restaurant.

    This was our second time at Two Mules and unfortunately it did not live up to our first at all. Their menu had changed and the only vegetarian option available was an impossible taco. I asked if they could make anything else vegetarian and was told I could get a plain cheese quesadilla for $14. I asked if they could at least put some peppers and onions in it and was told all the peppers and onions have been pre-cooked with beef (huh??). I eventually ordered the chicken enchiladas without the chicken and got cold cheese enchiladas. Our friends ordered the loaded tots, brisket on the side, and it was not in the side. I never have this much trouble finding a vegetarian option at a restaurant these days and was surprised how unwilling they were to accommodate.
