We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent service we experienced at
the Butcher Shop Steakhouse as well as RJ's Mexican Cuisine!  On Thursday, we wandered
into the Butcher Shop and Kelsey took extremely good care of us.  He was very attentive,
even though he also was attending to a large party that came in right behind us.  He told us
about RJ's Mexican when we inquired about good places for us to eat the following day.
On Friday we went to RJ's Mexican restaurant and Hilario Casas proceeded to take
extremely good care of us.  I would have to say that if I owned a restaurant I would want to
have employees like Hilario Casas working there and taking care of customers - he was
extremely professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of the restaurant, as well as very
attentive to everyone.  
We just wanted to take a few moments to express our appreciation for your excellent staff, as
well as quality food, at both your restaurants.  We will definitely return when we are in
Dallas again!  

Thank you, and please pass on our appreciation to
Hilario and Kelsey!

comments = Hi, I would just like to say that I visited your restaurant on 09 November
2009, with a few colleagues in from around the world.  We were in Dallas for a business trip
and decided to have dinner the the Butcher Shop.  Our server's name was Thomas and I must
say - I am thoroughly impressed with not only the food, but the service, as well.  when I
travel and eat out so much, it sure does make a meal much more enjoyable to have a server as
kind and friendly as he.  I would like to thank you for the phenomenal food, as well as the
exceptional service.  Thank you so much for making my trip much moer delightful.

It is our unbelievable eating experience at RJ Mexican Cuisine. This is our first visit at
Dallas downtown; we are from Florida visiting on business trip and found this locally owned
restaurant in downtown Dallas. We go out occasionally at restaurants but this is our best
ever experienced at RJ Mexican Cuisine. We went to RJ on Nov 2nd 2008, atmosphere at
RJ was so excellent, there entree prices were so low, actually we thought it would be a very
high price food restaurant., but it wasn’t so.. Food server was so nice and very attentive, our
food arrived shortly and we had an excellent time there. We never thought this place would be
as good as we ever thought it would be… we would rate this restaurant number one in all
aspects……
Pros: Excellent atmosphere, great food and servers
Cons: None

My rating: Good
RJ Mexican Cuisine: Great Seafood - Steaks - Chicken - Ribs

OH My Goodness... I wasn't really in the mood for Mexican Food when I walked in there
but I kept an open mind and I was blown away. Starting with the hot and spicy salsa...it
wasn't enough to drive me away from it but it was enough to make my nose run and want
some water. It was delish!
I order Tacos and they were wonderful. Although I expected to get a typical taco with meat,
cheese, lettuce and so but it came out with just meat and cheese and I was surprised with how
much flavor it boasted. It came with a side of refried beans (which I usually hate) but they
were also wonderful, slightly creamier than normal but they drew in a wonderful garlic accent
with some additional spices I couldn't put my toungue on.
The atmosphere was lovely and the staff was wonderful and a delight, RJ even opened the
door for us. Even though it was raining, they opened up the patio for us so we could have a
drink out there and be able to smoke. I would definately revisit them and I would recommend
it to anyone.
Awesome customer service and food!

I highly recommend anyone to go to Rj Mexican Cuisine! Their so kind and can take care of
you the way it should be. I went a couple of days ago the service was excellent. The manager
was so kind to make sure that everything was going good and that we were getting the
attention we need. I also remember seeing large groups of ladies coming in and all the staff
taking good care of them. Everyone seem to be enjoying their dinner. The food was great and
the decor was pretty!
Pros: Great service
Cons: none!
Best Mexican Cuisine!

Rj Mexican Cuisine was a wonderful experience for me and my family! From the moment i
walked in the door they made me feel as if they were there just to treat me. As i looked
around i noticed that they treated everyone with the same kindness. Our server was far the
most sweetest girl and very knowledgable about the menu. I didn't even have to ask for a
refill! She was very quick and never once showed any sign of negative attitude!! Our dinner
was excellent. The steak was prepared just like my husband likes it! The desert was
incredible! They even have a small area for big parties! As it looked everyone was enjoying
themselves and as the time passed i didn't see any complaints being made or any costumers not
happy with what they were getting! It was so wonderful and my kids loved it! I surely
recommend for everyone to come and check out the place!!
Pros: Great Dinning!!!!
Excellent service!

Loved the food the service and the pricing was very fair considering we are in the West End. I
loved the suiza! Everything looked good though, so I don't think you can go wrong. Say hi
to the Host for me. He was quite charming :) I too will be back!
Pros: Great food and service!
Cons: bring quarters for parking :) It only costs 50 cents tho.
I will be back! Loved the patio as well!

I loved the corner booth they put my party in. We had 6 people for a business lunch and it
was like having our own conference room with a personal waiter! The salsa was out of this
world and the standard of Mexican food I knew was just raised up a notch. All in all an
excellent experience! The ambiance was so unexpected for the west end, very elegant in a
Nuevo kind of way. If you like to people watch sit on their patio. Great place to spend an
evening or afternoon.
Pros: booths and patio... oh and I liked the food too :)
Great authentic Mexican food.

Great authentic mexican food. Loved the atmosphere and the Patio is beautiful with a great
view of the old cobblestone street. We had wonderful service and a great experience. We always
look for good mexican food when we come to Dallas, and we will for sure be back again.
Loved the Chile Rellenos. Convenient Valet parking right across the street. It was not there
last time we were in town, its an added bonus. See you soon.
Nice downtown/west end spot

Mexican with a twist

If you are looking for something completely different (or as the waiters call it)... a "dining
experience", then this restaurant is worth checking into. A fine collection of "traditional
mexican" food, but they go so much further. The menu included: Seafood, Steaks, Ribs
(which i tried the "Costilla del Campo" and loved it!), Quail, and a great shrimp ceviche!!!
The location is unbeatable, in the heart of the west end! And the indoor atmosphere
(included an incredibly large patio) was fantastic. I will be going again.
• Delicious food and good service in the West End

Rj serves dishes with fresh ingredients and prepared with refinement. I had a great salad and
vegetable quesadilla, both full of flavor. And our waiter was a lot of fun, too.
