Long-standing restaurant serving gourmet Tex-Mex cuisine in a sophisticated, art-adorned setting.
Family owned and operated since 1978, Armando Palacios’ long-time eatery—fashioned after 1920s Mexico City—consistently is packed with friends, regulars, celebrities and local socialites who love the famous fresh-lime juice margaritas, delicious queso flameado and signature fajitas.
Designed by Armando and his wife, Cinda Palacios, the restaurant is decorated with beautiful antique mirrors, an intricate sunburst latticework ceiling and rich red draperies offset by crisp, white table linens. The restaurant also houses a collection of authentic Mexican pottery and cookware showcased in dark, custom wood cabinets. The warm décor and lighting perfectly set the mood for multisensory culinary excellence.
