Eatery offering both counter-serve tacos & a room with reserved seating for a chef’s tasting menu.

This rating is for Purepecha, not the taco lounge. Is the food good? It is OK, good, not great. Is service good? Yes, actually, it was outstanding. Is the atmosphere good? Not really, not bad by any means but could be better. So the big question, is this dining experience worth what you pay for? ABSOLUTELY not! Extremely overpriced for what you get and the flavors. I can pay half of what I paid here at amazing restaurants like Perry’s, Lucia, 61 Osteria, and many others. The chef does come up with inventive and unheard of menu items, like chilaca chile filled with rabbit, cooked oyster with curry, jocoque based sauce, dulce en tacha, etc., but somewhat lacking flavor. If this would be priced at half the price it currently is, I would rate higher and would go again, but until then, I’d rather go to Lucia a couple times 🙂

The octopus and barbacos tacos are truly excellent. The carne asada and duck tacos are decent and so it the steak quesadilla. The price point is very high, which might be a deterrent from visiting another time. But might be some of the best tacos you can get in the area.

This review is for the overall restaurant experience. The food is okay, but definitely not worth the price. The dishes feel very overpriced for what you get.
The course-style meal was mid overall, but it would have been better to choose the dishes ourselves rather than having a fixed selection.
The drink menu was also disappointing. Most options were alcoholic, and there weren’t many authentic or traditional non-alcoholic drinks.
The best part of the meal was the tortillas and salsa l. easily the most authentic and enjoyable part.
Service was excellent; the staff was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the atmosphere felt underwhelming for the price.
Would I come back and recommend this place? I will not
Food: 3/5
Service: 5/5
Atmosphere: 2/5

We did the Purepecha 4-course menu. It was a very unique experience because you feel like guests in a stranger’s home. It’s very intimate with only a handful of other diners. The food was terrific: the tortillas, pescado crudo, seabass, and desserts. The only food that disappointed was the entree. It was a stuffed pork chop in a too sweet mole sauce. Not bad, but we expected better. Honestly, Revolver’s tacos are soooo good, you should get them instead

The guys (see photo) behind the counter with the red nails was extremely rude and racist. I ordered 2 tacos from Rusbelis (young lady at the register) and I also asked for sodas. She pointed to the right of me to let me know where the sodas were located. She spoke very limited English but okayed me to get the 2 sodas. As I began to walk towards her to finish checking out, I lifted the two drinks up so that she could see them and she nodded. The guys (see photo) at the bar looked at me, frowned, and rudely asked what I was doing. I explained that the lady who took my ordered okayed me to get the two sodas. Rusbelis was watching the entire interaction as I was walking towards her. He stated that she couldn’t have done that because she didn’t speak English. She informed him in Spanish that she told me it was okay. In English she even said, it’s okay. Very oddly, the guy in the photo walked down a little further, stood in front of me after I paid for my order, he snapped a photo of me with his phone. Then he started throwing his fingers and speaking to Rusbelis in Spanish. I started videoing him afterwards. I used Google translator to speak to Rusbelis and she stated that she didn’t know why he was acting like that and she apologized but, that’s not good enough for me. The guy is has a nasty attitude, disrespectful, and kept frowning his face up at me for no apparent reason. I would NEVER recommend this establishment. I would give you all 0 Stars if it was an option.

My wife and I visit this establishment every time we come to Dallas. We’ve been coming for about eight years, back when it was just a small takeout spot, because the food was truly amazing—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and always offering a unique twist on traditional tacos.
We visited over Christmas and were really looking forward to having Revolver again after a few years away. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing. The original lounge is now only a takeout window with no seating. Instead, you’re expected to take your food to go or sit in the new bar-style seating area. The charm of the original space is gone—no longer can you watch the food being prepared, see tortillas made by hand, or enjoy the thoughtfully crafted drinks that made the experience special.
The food itself fell far short of what we remembered. We ordered our favorites: pulpo tacos, tacos de lengua, and a steak quesadilla. While the pulpo was tender, it had no seasoning, was lukewarm, and the toppings—pineapple and cilantro—looked like they had been sitting out for some time. The tortilla was neither fresh nor warm. For a place where we were always happy to pay a premium for quality, not a single part of the meal was enjoyable.
To make matters worse, the staff behind the counter seemed inconvenienced by our presence, and we were required to order food at one end and beverages at the other, which added to the frustration.
I’m not sure what’s going on at Revolver, but things have definitely changed—and unfortunately, not for the better.

We were really excited to try this place based on the reviews and photos of the food we saw. Cool, colorful atmosphere. You order at the counter and then sit. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I found the menu to be small and expensive. The prices listed are per taco and ranging up to $15 for one taco. Unfortunately, the food does not taste as good as it looks. We found the food to be underwhelming and lacking flavor for the price and compared to other Mexican restaurants. We ordered 3 different tacos and the chicken flautas.

We tried the food initially as part of a Dallas secret food tour, but it was so good we came back again for the Sunday brunch buffet. $35 seemed expensive for a buffet at first, but Food was absolutely outstanding. Tortillas are made right in front of you. Everything had distinct and authentic flavor. Staff was incredibly friendly. Eating here will basically save you a trip to Mexico. The buffet included as many homemade corn tortillas as you could eat, fresh Chilaquiles and tamales, mole, carnitas etc. I didn’t get a chance to try the mole, but I was just too full!

Wow. Never had Tacos this good in my life. Delicious and they even got my “no cilantro” request. Super nice staff. Fantastic atmosphere and restaurant. The food came fast. Really delicious drinks too. Highly recommend. In a group of 6 including a vegetarian and everyone was raving about it.
The salsa is fantastic.
Tacos are so otherworldly- each ingredient being bold and oh so flavorful.
