Upscale but not stuffy, this local institution (which also has an East Dallas location) serves some of the best-quality Mexican seafood in town, from ceviche cocktails and tostadas to seafood chiles rellenos […]

During the week, you’ll find her lovely pastries, including croissants, cruffins and kouign amanns at coffee shops around the city. Then on the […]
The food here is as good as Tex-Mex gets, with made-from-scratch salsas and unusual care given to ingredients on which other restaurants cheap out. There’s no better way to get to know La Comida than to try one of the generous combo plates, like the one with a superb chile con carne enchilada and a […]
It’s hard to miss the larger-than-life pink flamingos on the side La Comida along Beckley Avenue in Oak Cliff. La Comida makes traditional Tex-Mex classics, such as fajitas of every variety, tacos and chicken dishes. But the soul of the restaurant is in the Yucatan-influenced food, from which the owners hail. Try the cochinita pibil […]
This “Latin brasserie,” sprung from the mind of ZuZu Handmade Mexican Food chain co-founder Espartaco Borga, is a collision of homespun recipes from Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico and Cuba. This makes for a sexy assortment of enchiladas, salads, quesadillas, grilled marinated picanha steaks and sandwiches on fresh-baked rolls. La Duni also has a […]

With Starbucks, Subway and other corporate chains taking over every corner, consumers are given more and more choices every day. But these shops that try to do a little bit of everything often end up doing nothing very well. Sometimes you want a specialist who does one thing very well, and if you’re looking for […]
This is a truly distinctive Mexican restaurant that is essentially a collection of family recipes inspired by the cuisine of Cotija (for which the cheese was named), a small town in the southwestern state of Michoacan. Sinking their American roots in Arkansas with seven Mexican restaurants, the Oseguera family made their way to Dallas to […]

The noodles at La Me, a Vietnamese spot in far northeast Dallas, go well beyond pho. Try my quang, a bowl of rice noodles with turmeric in the dough to turn them yellow. The noodles are loaded up with shrimp, peanuts and a showering of herbs. Or try a delicately flavored duck noodle soup with […]
La Neta is a swank Las Vegas import that is a restaurant, bar and lounge in Deep Ellum. The spot serves big club energy with a menu that is at times as flamboyant as the space. There’s a full range of Mexican appetizers, many with a pescatarian slant: ceviche, Baja-style oysters and tuna tartar with […]

The Webb Chapel road tortilla factory and take-out may be one of Dallas’ most compelling taquerias. The “Hot” in the restaurant’s name, however, really should be emphasized. And note, we’re not describing piquancy here, we’re talking about the ambient room temperature experienced when you walk though the gaping front door. It’s always hot in this […]
If you’re headed to the area around The Star in Frisco, reward yourself with a visit to La Parisienne, a newish French bistro that has been open now for a couple of months. In an effort to sate a bit of wanderlust and memories of outdoor cafes along the banks of the Seine in Paris. […]
Three things give this restaurant notoriety: the outside taco window, from which customers order tacos with fresh tortillas; the bubbling Chori-Queso Fundido presented on a fajita skillet; and live music. Of course, the kitchen offers its signature grilled meats, like the pork chop, as the establishment’s name implies. Among the other menu favorites are homemade […]
The food to order here is — you guessed it — tamales, albeit they are tamales of small stature. Among the permutations of filled and steamed corn masa are pork and jalape
