La Calle Doce — Restaurant in Lancaster

I'm going to start by saying My Family and I Luv, La Calle Doce! The Oak Cliff location mostly. The East Dallas location is even great! This Lancaster location has so much potential. However, the service we experienced was Horrible, and there was No Accountability! I've been a waitress before, so I understand being in the weeds and every aspect that comes with working in this industry. We've had plenty of experience in the hospitality industry from family and friends who are owners of their own restaurants. Here, it's very clear they have their favorite customers, which is fine. The only issue is that you shouldn't totally neglect all the other paying customers. This is how you get repeated customers that keep you in business and spread the word that this is a place to go! Just from our point of view, the managers were too busy entertaining instead of helping their employees or checking on ALL customers. One manager walked past us customers, waiting to be seated. She was on social media. We stood at the door for 7 minutes before we were acknowledged. We waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came over to the table. We didn't get silverware, we requested a few times. Our food came out, and it still took time to get silverware. They ran out of silverware! Mind you at this time, the restaurant was semi full. In the room where we were seated, 5 tables were empty. Again, full but not packed! When we tried talking to a manager because we finally had enough! He NEVER took accountability! His exact words were "well we were busy tonight, believe me, you're not the only ones." When we pointed out the tables that were occupied around us were getting service and had silverware and drinks, he srugged his shoulders. Lol... We just stopped him there and said okay that's fine..... We frequent the Oak Cliff location often. This location is packed very often. The manager there, she's always pleasant, she assists her employees & visits all the tables busy or not to ask if all is well. I so wanted to have the semi same experiences with the Lancaster location! We've visited this location a few times. It is a very beautiful ambiance. The food is great. The accountability and the clear favoritism to neglect others is what lost me/us. This has been our experience here. We...

The waitress was so sweet really nice girl and always attentive to her table. To start off the building is nice they did such a great job on the inside very nice. The places gives it a higher-end place to eat love it. The down side was the Jamaica water was kinda odd tasting I think it needs the device that stirs it around because the taste was a little tart like it was ready to go bad. I should have gotten soda. We tried the salsa the red sauce yum the green is okay but the red is better really spicy. We ordered a caldo de camaron it was good a good 4 out of 5. Also we tried the brunch enchiladas it was okay maybe a 2.5 out of 5 it's 2 stack tortillas with cheese in the middle with cut poblano pepper and side of over cooked potatoes no rice or beans just that for $13. Everything else was fine. I would go back but be better off ordering soda and maybe caldo or try something else. I seen the huevos rancheros it seemed okay. The fajitas looked okay but needed to sizzle when they come out, I think it's the veggies on the bottom that kept them from sizzling but the meat looked good and come with Pico and guac and cheese the beans to but they seemed they had more caldo then beans but a food...

La Calle Doce is my new go-to spot for some authentic Mexican food. I loveee a good chip and salsa, and theirs was DELICIOUS! The salsa verde has just the right kick. FYI the salsa is warm, I know some people prefer it cold. I don’t mind it, and the flavor was fire.

Now, onto the entree: the enchiladas verdes. It was a bit too much sour cream for me, but once I got past that, I really enjoyed it! The chicken was tender, and flavorful. I do wish the sauce they used on the enchiladas was the salsa verde they gave for the chips and salsa. It comes with beans and rice, which was also really good! I’d give it an 8.5/10.

The house margarita definitely snuck up on me! It's not too sweet, and they did not let up on the alcohol! 9/10

As for the vibe, La Calle Doce nails it. The place was clean, and the atmosphere is so welcoming as soon as you walk in. The staff was attentive and friendly, and will make sure you leave with a smile on your face.

Overall, if you're craving authentic Mexican flavors served with a side of warmth and hospitality, La Calle Doce is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be...
