El Jordan Cafe — Restaurant in Dallas

Not a super fan of this place, it was just okay at best. Their flour tortillas were rubbery and I'm not 100% sure on this but I assumed they were NOT homemade or made in house. The chips and salsa where the highlight of our meal as those were very tasty. I tried to order a migas taco but the waitress didn't seem to even know what that was and said that they couldn't make that even though they obviously have All of the ingredients necessary and are a Mexican restaurant that serves Breakfast tacos / Burritos. As I previously mentioned They have chips for the salsa and being a "restaurant" you can't tell me they don't have eggs, onions, tomatoes and cheese which all mixed together makes "migas" anyways moving on from my anger and not being able to get a migas taco the food that we did get was just average and kind of bland for what it was. Don't get me wrong I've had worse and all in all it wasn't a bad experience it was just not memorable or satisfying really. the question is would I recommend this place? And the answer to that would be, I most certainly would not ask you to go out of your way to dine at El Jordan Cafe but I would say if you are in close proximity and craving some Mexican food and just don't want to go any further then yeah sure why not.

Why three stars and not four: An Unrememberable an unremarkable experience losses you one star and having a Mexican restaurant that doesn't know what a migas Taco is loses you another.

I arrived at 6:40 AM. Our trusted Google maps info matched the hours on the door Open: 6:30, yet the door was locked. A gentleman looked up from the Kitchen as if to say oops, time got away from me. He quickly made his way to the door and opened with a friendly Ola. He quickly went to the back to pour me a cup of coffee while the other person I'll call "Kitchen Lady" and I looked over the menu. She says if I order the breakfast burritos I'll need 3 or 4 due to their size. Omlette sounded good so I asked if they could make a Spanish Omlette even though it wasn't in the menu. See Senior, anything you want. Spanish Omlette it is -- OR SO I thought. When the to go box arrived kitchen Lady opened the box with a flare and a "see", I was introduced to the prettiest and what I would soon find out -- the best Spinatch Omlette I have ever tasted. Yes, you read right, I said Spinatch, not Spanish --oops. The language barrier however worked to my advantage this time. I'm glad I decided to pass by the Cafe Brazil on my way to the new, best experience with a Spinatch Omlette I've ever had compliments of the Bishop Arts District. Meal complete with potatoes , Refried beans, corn or flour tortillas, and homemade Salsa. Wheel Chair accessible but not automatic. Handicapped parking is hard to find. El Jordan was. Real find for this lover of Mexican food. I hope to return for lunch or dinner one day. Great job. Friendly attitude and cooking skills more than made up for the mild...

There is a sweet lady, didn't catch her name, that works there with a kind and welcoming demeanor that set the dining mood just right. Unfortunately, she didn't end up being our waitress. These other two ladies ending up waitressing for our table but didn't give the same treatment. They weren't rude nor geniunely caring. We signal them for some napkins only brought 2 napkins for a party of 5. We asked for a refill for coffee but stated that they were making a fresh pot and it wasn't ready. The newly seated couple from across asked a for cup of coffee and were given their cups of coffee right off the bat. They would make rounds to each table asking if they needed anything or chitchat about the food and once they get to our table they would completly ignore us. I guess they didn't take a liking to us and gave us medicore service. As for the food, it was bland at best. Didnt hit the spot for...
