Such a lovely experience dining at Via Real! It was my birthday and glad that we picked the place to enjoy our dinner there! I think this restaurant is going to be one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas/F.Worth from now on. Food was delicious, atmosphere was romantic, the server was very nice & helpful, the greeter lady was amazing with her charming presence & kind words she made us feel so good! Loved this place we would definitely come back again!
P.S: if you’re planning to celebrate a special event with amazing food & atmosphere pick this place without any doubt! Just make sure to book prior if you’d be more than two person.
1st things 1st STAFF IS AMAZING. Nice clean. Great ambience 5 stars for that but 4 for everything else. Guac was terribly bland. Salsa great! Chocolate cake was good. Carrot cake is different because of the type of frosting they use. I think waiter said it's a white chocolate cream cheese type but seemed like I also tasted a bit of lemon somewhere in the bite I had. It was good but just different than expected.
Enchiladas were average. Sea bass was good but didn't care for the mashed potatoes in the pineapple boat that I tried a bite of. I'll have to return and try something different. Find something I really like because I love the atmosphere and the OWNER is delightful.
Absolutely an amazing dining experience! Everything we ordered was prepared to perfection. The pecan crusted Chilean sea bass was excellent. From the valet to the server everyone was very friendly. The suggestions from our waiter Rafael were great! He knows the menu very well. The owner personally came around to introduce herself and check on her customers. Now that’s what I call service and hospitality!
Our server, Roque, was phenomenal. He took such good care of us. The entire staff is so hospitable and makes you feel like a VIP. So many sweet extra touches to make our anniversary special. We can't wait to come back! 10/10 would recommend.
We were here on a Tuesday evening at 8 PM and this restaurant was buzzing with corporate crowd. We had a table for two and we ordered two meals.
For the vegetarian we had the squash enchiladas. The tortilla itself was a little under cooked but the enchilada was very flavorful. we also had Taco de res, tenderloin tacos, which were really intense and flavorful. The corn on the squash enchilada was probably one of the best corns I have had.
The best part was the dessert, we had a flan and a rice pudding made like a cheesecake, which was highly recommended by our host And we absolutely loved it.
For two people we spent approximately $40 per head but definitely a place I would love to revisit and spend some time. Great ambience Great food and a great host.
