Ojeda’s is unabashedly Tex-Mex, without even a hint of “Fresh-Mex,” “Mod-Mex” or any other such stabs at upscale Mexican and/or healthy food. Sometimes you just gotta have a chili relleno or some enchiladas smothered in greasy chili, and if that’s what you’re craving, Ojeda’s is the place for you. Other menu options include tacos, fajitas, […]

If you’ve grown tired of Tex-Mex, there’s a solution on Lower Greenville Avenue. Amidst the auto shops and gas stations at the intersection with Henderson Avenue, Palapas Seafood Bar sits in a nifty-looking hut with thatch-roofed patios. Do your best to sit outside. The scenery isn’t the best but the vibe is. Music softly plays […]
The folks at the Dallas Observer are relieved and grateful that our favorite Deep Ellum lunch spot has reopened in bigger, sweeter digs a few blocks east of the old location on Elm Street. We come here for the cheerful service and excellent lunch specials, including Pescado Vera Cruz, a lightly breaded catfish fillet served […]
Established by two cousins (“primos” in Spanish) in 1986, this popular eatery offers Tex-Mex family recipes and standards that draw area chefs and hospitality workers after their shifts. It’s easy to understand why, what with signature dishes like the piquant Tacos Camperos (a quartet of corn tortillas filled with onions, jalapeños, a cheese blend and […]
A carry-out/delivery business borne out of founders Paul Oltmann and Steve Daroche’s disappointment in delivery services, Quesa-D-Ya’s takes a cutesy name and brings customers fresh, cooked-to-order Tex-Mex with an emphasis on — what else? — quesadillas. Among the large-portion hits here are the best-selling Smokey Mountain D-Ya (pulled pork or chicken with barbecue rice, bacon, […]

When you do pull over, you’ll discover Raul’s Corral, a Tex-Mex restaurant that also claims to serve steaks. That giant longhorn out front isn’t actually in the Raul’s parking lot. It stands in front of the ghost town next door. It looks like something straight out of an old Six Flags. Walking inside Raul’s is […]
Chef Andrew Savoie’s tacos are straightforward delicious. Cauliflower, kale and other dutiful-sounding greens prove to be better taco fillings than one might suspect, and the braised beef short rib taco with chipotle crema is a delight. Resident’s creative specials – think birria, Philly cheesesteak, duck breast or crab cakes inside a taco – have grown […]

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 […]
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 […]

Tequila Social, on the Katy Trail, serves Tex-Mex classics and a host of margaritas, ranch waters and cocktails. Tequila Social’s expansive patio (seating 200) is the main attraction. And when North Texas’ hellish temps finally begin to subside to tolerable levels, we imagine this patio being crammed, especially during happy hour. The indoor dining room […]
