Swamp Cafe

This locally spot is owned by a native of Louisiana who is also the chef. Everything is made from scratch, even the remoulade sauce. Try a soft-shell crab po’boy and a cup of jambalaya, but be sure to save room for the beignets. They also have muffalettas and fried green tomatoes.

Swank

Chef Luke Rogers and wife Geni have curated the near-perfect cozy local bistro in Oak Cliff, where a meal here feels like being invited to your neighbor’s home. Formerly known as Beckley 1115, the Rogers added a full-service bar and tucked a few more tables into the space as part of the rebranding. The menu still […]

Sweet Georgia Brown Bar-B-Que

Sweet Georgia Brown could easily be overlooked among the surrounding Family Dollars and pawn shops, but when the soul food mecca is called “the pride of South Dallas” (it’s actually in South Oak Cliff), it’s not the appearance they’re talking about. It’s the unbelievable food: melt-in-your-mouth ribs; crispy, greasy fried chicken; buttery sweet potatoes; and […]

Sylvan Avenue Tavern

This spot sits on the second floor above TEN Ramen at the Sylvan Thirty complex and is a sister-spot to Bryan Avenue Tavern. It’s a great spot to catch a game and have a cold drink but be sure to go hungry. Start with their West Dallas Deviled eggs built with a bacon jam base […]

Taco Cabana

Come 2:30 a.m., droves of inebriated folks migrate to the Lower Greenville Taco Cabana to fill their beer-bloated bellies with fast-food Tex-Mex. Its ’round-the-clock hours and location conveniently within stumbling distance of several bars makes it an excellent alternative to the Bell or the Bueno, and what it lacks in Doritos Locos tacos, it makes […]

Taco Diner

Tucked away in the hustle and bustle of Preston Center, this Taco Diner location offers what might be the best service and food of all the Taco Diners in the metroplex. The waitstaff is knowledgeable and helpful with questions about the menu, and service is quick and attentive. The food doesn’t disappoint either-the guacamole is […]

Taco Diner West Village

With a name including the word “diner,” patrons would ostensibly imagine a greasy spoon famous for tacos. That ain’t the case. Taco Diner’s interior is sleek and modern. Light wood, purple-and-white color scheme, tile bar wall and subdued evening lighting are on par with corporate owner MCrowd Restaurant Group’s original concept – the cuisine of […]

Taco Joint

Taco Joint is a fast-casual style restaurant serving Tex-Mex at three locations in Dallas and one in Richardson. Menu items include all the Tex-Mex favorites, from tacos to burritos, chalupas, enchiladas and more. Diners looking for a Tex-Mex fix first thing in the morning can enjoy Taco Joint’s breakfast offerings, including migas and chilaquiles. Taco […]

Taco Y Vino

One of Bishop Arts’ most welcoming neighborhood hangouts is dedicated to the proposition that tacos pair well with wine. This isn’t your grandmother’s wine bar; it’s a super-casual spot that takes all the elitism and exclusion out of wine-drinking. Have a glass on the lawn during loteria night and pair your bubbles with a dish […]

Tacos La Banqueta

It’s nothing to look at, but La Banqueta is without a doubt one of the best authentic taquer

Tacos Mariachi

Few Dallas-area restaurants are making cheffy, inspired twists on classic foods in the lowest price bracket. Tacos Mariachi, with its brilliant riffs on seafood tacos, is one of them. Where else in Dallas can you find a smoked salmon taco, the fish folded into a griddle-melted blanket of cheese? Other offerings showcase octopus and shrimp, […]

Tacos Y Mas

A less-corporate alternative to that “other” Lowest Greenville taco spot, Tacos Y Mas looks more like a permanent food trailer than an actual restaurant. It has tacos, as one might expect from the name — all the typical fillings including chicken, pastor, fajita, lengua and even tripa are represented, available on corn or flour tortillas […]
