La Calle Doce, Mexican restaurant in Oak Cliff, Dallas, US.
La Calle Doce is a Mexican restaurant located in a converted house in Oak Cliff, offering seafood and traditional dishes from Mexico. The establishment operates two locations throughout the Dallas area.
The restaurant began in 1981 when Oscar and Laura Sanchez converted a residential house in Oak Cliff into a dining space. Growth in customers led to opening a second location in Lakewood nearly two decades later.
The menu draws from coastal Mexican cooking traditions, featuring grilled fish, ceviche, and shrimp dishes prepared with fresh ingredients that reflect the family's origins. These recipes have remained largely unchanged over the decades, anchoring the experience to authentic regional flavors.
The restaurant opens at 11:00 AM on most days, with extended hours in the evenings on weekends. Reservations are advisable, especially on weekend nights when the place fills up quickly.
The original location still looks like a residential house, creating an intimate setting that distinguishes it from typical restaurant buildings. Many long-time customers say this feeling of dining in someone's home is part of what keeps them returning.
