Rusty Taco. It’s not only what the neighborhood cat lady calls her womanly bits. Now it’s also a place you can eat! On Greenville at University, that old Just Brakes location is now a swank-ass taco stand with like 30 tables of shaded patio seating. And beer and margaritas. And…
As a countdown to the Dallas Observer’s “Best of Dallas” 2010, City of Ate is serving up 100 of the favorite dishes we crave, savor and hope to scarf down again soon. These dishes are in no particular order. Some are little known, others celebrated. Some are pricey, others can…

A loosened tie. Rolled-up shirtsleeves. Ditching heels for flats. Friendly banter during the ballgame or an “I’ll get the next one.” Any beer commercial can extol the virtues of expressing your real self after a hard day working for someone else, but that’s all posturing…and the fake slaps on the…

The first taste of the baked Dungeness crab dip provoked a moment of quiescence. The silence, short-lived, was followed by ravenous arm wrestling for more. The appetizer dip, served with shards of unleavened bread—think matzo par excellence—was a reward for the tortuous hunt for non-valet parking in the eatery-heavy Knox-Henderson…
When I walked into Burger Bueno, the crazy variety of menu options immediately threw me into an order coma. I guess I expected this place to offer a bunch of different “bueno” burgers. Maybe even something weird and American/Mexican fusiony, like a burger with salsa on it. They did, indeed…
Tacos, tacos, tacos. That should be the theme of this month’s Revolving Doors. With Rusty Taco finally opening their doors, the Austin-based Torchy’s Taco making a move to Dallas this summer, and Fuzzy Tacos and Urban Taco adding more locations, that’s all anyone can talk about lately. Well, we definitely…
Before you take the first bite of Screen Door’s tasso ham soup, pause a moment to listen. This soup talks to you. It’s a lady with a sweet Southern accent, speaking softly and gently into your ear. She says, “Come on, hon, eat up while it’s good ‘n’ hot, ’cause…
Even the parsley at Arcodoro & Pomodoro is reason for excitement. Rather than garnish a dish with a sprig or a scattering of minced leaves, the kitchen places a few crispy cooked shoots of the herb atop certain dishes. It’s a novel touch—and the slightly salty, slightly oily taste is…
Good 2 Go Taco at The Green Spot market and gas station in White Rock has been providing inventive takes on the south-of-the-border sandwich for more than seven months. But that hasn’t stopped owners Jeana Johnson and Colleen O’Hare from expanding their horizons. The pair is preparing to roll out…
Since the age of the Cro-Magnon, Dallas has had the hell whomped out of it by all manner of steakhouses serving all manner of wet-aged, prime, wagyu, Angus, choice, dry-aged, and just plain horseshit beef. But we’ve never had a wet red meat romp quite like Dallas Chop House. DCH…
Although opening day is weeks away, the folks at Perry’s Steakhouse gave us a glimpse yesterday of the Houston-based chain’s first location in Dallas. Set in the flashy 2000 McKinney Avenue high rise adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton, Perry’s Steakhouse is still a work in progress. Painters are putting the finishing…
Tam’s Egg Roll looks dark from the outside and way too small to even have an actual kitchen in it, but open the door and you’re immediately transported to a land of stir-fried goodness. Sure, there are some giant creepy masks and giant handheld fans on the walls (put there…
While waiting outside for our table at Urbano Café, we noticed a gentleman, probably in his 60s, stumble out of the restaurant and turn a collapsible cooler upside down to dump the ice that formerly chilled white wine. He was followed by several more parties of AARP members, something that…
On a day when you’re feeling all up in your fine self, when your wrinkle-fillers have smoothed out the frown lines and your good car is out of the shop, that’s the day to go to Ocean Prime. Because any other day? You’re going to feel way out of place…
This March kept true to the saying “in like a lion, out like a lamb,” kicking off with a four-alarm fire on Lower Greenville on March 2. The fire started in Terrilli’s and soon destroyed Hurricane Grill, Mick’s and Greenville Bar & Grill only a few weeks before one of…
