Casa Rosa originally opened in 1981 and for more than two decades lorded over Tex-Mex in the Park Cities. After several spin offs and closure, the iconic spot noted for bringing fajitas to Dallas, reopened this year along Lemmon Avenue. And thankfully it’s back to its old wonderful self proving that good Tex-Mex is for […]
This Colombian institution in Carrollton is best at the soups available as specials on certain weekends, like ajiaco, a chicken-potato soup made with indigenous corn, or a Caribbean-influenced, curried seafood bonanza. The bandeja paisa, a regional sampler plate, is excellent for newcomers to Colombian cuisine, and the empanadas are good, too. Casa Vieja has a […]
The Silk Road-themed Casablanca sits like an oasis in the heart of the Bishop Arts District, just a few steps off the main artery. Here the mood is a desert oasis with sandy hues and a Moroccan aura. Like any cool desert hangout, it’s centered on a calming pool of water (which is not for […]

Cavalli was the Dallas area’s first pizzeria to become VPN certified, and while they’ve since let that award go, they’ve recently added an APN certification, which focuses on the pizzailoi directly. Either way, you’re likely to get a solid pie in both their Irving and McKinney locations.

But that wasn’t the case in early 2011 when former Green Bay Packers linebacker Brian Williams opened The Cedars Social, a warm, ’70s-inspired cocktail den across from the South Side Lofts. The upscale restaurant features a full-service kitchen, but […]
