Hand-made tortillas that kick ass: That’s really all you need to know about Meso Maya. Chef Nico Sanchez doesn’t have to devote so much of his staff’s time and effort to tortilla-making, but he does, and that attention to detail filters down into most of the cooking in this Preston Hollow Mex-Mex spot. They turn […]

In 2023, Lower Greenville’s Belgian-influenced Meyboom Brasserie made its entry into our annual Best of Dallas list thanks to a stellar espresso martini that, quite frankly, blew us away. But Meyboom’s espresso martini is no outlier. The Meyboom team, guided by owners April Segovia and Jeff Karetnick, has set a high bar in all aspects […]
You just feel nice eating out at Mi Cocina. Whether it’s on the patio on a warm, breezy evening or inside, where the inventive lighting makes you feel like you’re paying at least $10 more for every entrée than you really are, the place has style. Fellow patrons are ever so tastefully dressed and good-looking, […]
The Top 100 Dallas Restaurants, No. 9: Mi Lindo Oaxaca is an extraordinary restaurant showcasing one of Mexico’s most complex regional cuisines. To make its mole from scratch, the kitchen starts by making its own chocolate. Breads and tortillas are made in-house too. But this isn’t a chef-driven fine-dining place – it’s a cash-only Oak […]
Mi Piaci is so old-fashioned it still offers logo-bearing matchbooks — and a bar in which to use them. Classic Italian dishes that have kept the upscale restaurant, a North Dallas staple, busy for more than 20 years. The handmade pastas pairs beautifully with a traditional Bolognese, but fresh pizza dough may be the winner […]

In 1981, Tiburcia “Butch” Enriquez opened the doors to a restaurant that would become as synonymous with Tex-Mex as chile con queso. Dishes are dedicated to family members, chief among them Butch and his Original Brisket Tacos (two brisket tacos filled with Monterey Jack, grilled onions and poblano peppers served with brisket gravy, rice and […]
If you think Uptown is all dude-bros and overpriced high-rises, you’re wrong. Find some respite in the impressive art collection at the MAC, a nonprofit gallery that showcases everything from religious banners to contemporary works from local artists. They even have their own in-house theater group, Kitchen Dog Theater. Bonus: Admission is always free, in […]
The soundtrack at this subterranean bar at the Joule Hotel in downtown Dallas is as well crafted as the neo-classic cocktails and art-deco interior. The swanky, dimly lit gem has speakeasy vibes. But the mirrored wall behind the bar holding the shelves of liquor bathed in backlighting lets everyone know the star of the show […]
Barbecue is best done the hard way. Sauces and rubs should be made from scratch. Meats smoked for hours under the watchful eye of a pitmaster. Since 1981, that’s how the eponymous owner has preferred to do ‘cue. Ravenous crowds squeeze into tables and vinyl booths, and on a busy day, they spill out onto […]

This Cedars bar is often labeled a dive bar, but there’s nothing shabby about Mike’s. Here a refreshing cross of swanky and unpretentious collides with a stripper pole and hot dogs. The bar has a pool table and darts; a ciggie machine and management wears suits, which is said to be a nod to how […]
This second iteration of the once-popular taqueria, Tacos Mariachi, just a stone’s throw away from the original, reprised much of the menu along with a whole new slate of ceviche tostadas and a shrimp burger that comes topped with chicharron crumbles and a jalapeño glaze. The standards include a filet of smoked salmon wrapped in […]
One of Dallas’ most underrated restaurants, Mille Lire occupies an opulent corner of the Oak Lawn neighborhood, with a spectacularly designed dining room, but still manages not to get the attention it deserves. The biggest headline it’s garnered so far hasn’t been for chef Giuliano Matarese’s generally superb Italian food and wonderful house-made pastas, but […]

Well, hello, darlin’. It’s so nice to see you again. Milo Butterfingers recently changed ownership and took a little time for itself to get one of those deep plane face lifts: We’re not sure what was involved or even if we want to know, but damn, it looks fantastic. The original location was one of […]
Just across the street from the American Airlines Center, this family-owned spot has great pasta, pizza, salads and bread (do NOT sleep on the focaccia) along with a big bar for any pre-concert or game nourishment. Heck, we’d go here without tickets to an event.
