Owner Kay Agnew and staff serve refined Cajun/Creole-style food in a polished setting, albeit one with an industrial sensibility, due to its location in a design center and ample metalwork. The restaurant is awash in a red, black and white color scheme, with a large canvas of roses on one wall. It’s mainly a lunch […]
Small Theatre Venue at Fair Park
If you’re a history buff, tequila drinker, Tex-Mex fanatic or any combination of the above, a visit to Mariano’s Hacienda is mandatory. Way back in 1971, owner Mariano Martinez (he’s the handsome mustachioed one sporting a sombrero up on the wall) made history by inventing the very first frozen margarita machine. Said history-making machine now […]
Executive chef Tom Gunn offers his guests ritzy, white-tablecloth fine dining hidden in a 1.5-acre European garden that is itself concealed in a corporate office building. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer verdant views and al fresco dining, an oasis from the urban rat race. Still, a homey sensibility is retained in the elegant dishes, with the inclusion […]

Mario Alfano (formerly a front-room fixture at Gloria’s) and Sabino Valle took the worn Casa Blanca space, gave it some bright new colors and brought in some Salvadoran recipes. So it’s like Gloria’s, only with a more informal feel-and a more authentic home-style approach to cooking.
Originating in Tokyo, Marugame Udon now has two locations locally, one in the Old Town Shopping Center at Lovers and Greenville, the other in Carrollton. Their only other U.S. brick and mortars reside in California and Hawaii. Udon, ramen’s beefier, longer “big brother,” as Cudd refers to it, is an exceptionally versatile wheat-flour noodle capable […]
Some of the best Guadalajaran food in Dallas comes from this luchador-themed restaurant in the heart of Oak Cliff. Many first-timers come to Maskaras for its extraordinary collection of lucha libre masks, costumes and vintage posters, but they stay because of the awesome tacos ahogados (“drowned” tacos bathing in salsa), enormous tortas and rich carne […]

Matchbox, an East Coast chain that opened its first Texas location at the corner of Walnut Hill and Central Expresway, is introducing the city to Washington, D.C.-style pies. Yes, Washington, where people know how to get their hands on a slice of the pie, even if they can’t agree on the toppings. Sliders are a […]
This family-owned restaurant, the progeny of the venerable Matt’s Famous El Rancho in Austin, is a vast indoor and outdoor space. The giant two-level dining room (private room adjacent) has a bar in the back and a giant mural of Texas all-stars is joined by a rocking patio. The neighborhood joint is most lauded for […]
Nestled on what might be one of the most confusing intersections in Dallas, Mattito’s is, in contrast, nothing but easy-going, fun-to-eat Tex-Mex. Classics such as enchiladas and flautas (an excellent choice) mingle with variations of fajita platters and taco salads (go with the seasoned beef). The restaurant is also a favorite brunch spot and is […]
Fried Chicken and Champagne… Why the Hell Not?!

Chef Amador Mora’s upscale Mexican venue could be known for a line of creative margaritas, their stellar tableside guacamole, or compelling favorites such as the chile rellenos or queso fundido. All are good, but you’ll truly remember the roasted jalapeno salsa they present with two kinds of chips.
Named after the festival that commemorates a second century BC martyred Chinese poet, this Addison restaurant specializes in elegant culinary preparations of the best of regional Chinese cooking. This isn’t a greasy take-out joint whose only real specialty is MSG. It’s pricey. It’s also beloved by every major Dallas periodical and numerous celebrities as varied […]
In the late 1800s, Mayer’s Garden on Elm Street was a self-described “early pleasure resort of Dallas” that offered live animals, live music and beer that flowed seven days a week. We’re not sure about all that, but today, a new Mayer’s Garden lives on Henderson Avenue, and while it may not have live animals, […]
The Mayor’s House by Selda is an offshoot of North Dallas’ Selda Mediterranean Grill. At this second home in Oak Cliff’s Bishop Art’s District, it’s taken up residence in a historic two-story house built in the early 1900s that was at one time home to Dallas’ mayor, George Sergeant. The space is both historic and […]
