Tango Room

There are some Dallas restaurants that are great then there are restaurants that make Dallas great. Tango Room is both. The experience starts when you walk into the restaurant, which sits quietly in the shadows of showy Carbone. Here a sleek red sign no more than 2 feet high whispers its presence. Inside, Andy Warhol’s […]

Taqueria El Si Hay

Considered among the best of Dallas’ taco shacks, El Si Hay (pronounced L See Ay and translating to something akin to “Yes, we have it”) is situated across the street from another Oak Cliff landmark, Bolsa. However, the latter establishment can’t compete with the dedicated masses of El Si Hay fans. The lines are more […]

Taqueria Latina

It’s not hard to figure out why the tortas at this tiny taqueria are some of the best to be found in Dallas. The owners, who opened a deli just down the street, have been turning out some amazing sandwiches for over two years now. You might think that tacos are the thing to order […]

Tarantino’s Cicchetti Bar and Record Lounge

Tarantino’s Cicchetti Bar and Record Lounge sits on a strip of Parry Avenue across from Fair Park that is a growing hub of restaurants. This spot is the work of long-time Dallas restaurateur, Peter Tarantino. Here he’s serving the food he grew up eating in his large Italian family. Focaccinas are a unique item on […]

Tart Bakery

What’s a chic pastry shop without a pastel color scheme? Not a modern chic pastry shop, is what. Thankfully, the palette at Tart doesn’t fail. Owner Kristen Massad has established herself not only as a purveyor of sweet delights, like cupcakes and petit fours, but also a vendor of baking accessories in her cute shop. […]

Tatsu

Tatsu, the namesake Deep Ellum omakase restaurant from chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi, is the only Dallas restaurant to earn a Michelin star, but we’ve been enthralled with Sekiguchi’s lessons in the art of omakase well before the Michelin Guide came to town. Dallas’ omakase scene is growing rapidly, but we prefer Tatsu’s traditional and elegant interpretation […]

TC Shaved Ice

Mosquitoes. Heat stroke. Sky-high utility bills. The dreaded butt sweat. Summer in Dallas brings a plague of problems, but there are bright spots to be had: the annual opening of TC Shaved Ice, for one. The tiny light blue drive-thru hut on Garland Road draws droves of icy treat-seeking Dallasites in need of some cool […]

TCBY

Sure, it’s all about frozen yogurt at TCBY, which stands, as most Dallas / Fort Worth] fans know, for The Country’s Best Yogurt. Founded in Arkansas in 1981 on the cutting edge of the nation’s fro-yo boom, the chain offers soft-serve bowls of flavors like Cake Batter and Caramel Supreme, and waffle cones crammed with […]

Tei Tei Robata

This Japanese bar on Henderson Avenue specializes in robatayaki, the technique of grilling food over hot charcoal. Chefs at the bar tend to the grill, turning out excellent skewers of meat and vegetables, as well as crisp-skinned and fork-tender whole fish. There is sashimi on offer, too, and it’s at the same high quality. Once […]

Tei-An

The most influential figure on the Dallas dining scene might be Teiichi Sakurai, who is doing his best to build one of America’s best Japanese food markets. Sakurai’s previous restaurants, Teppo and Tei Tei Robata, are both still open and still outstanding, and his ramen shop Ten is a cult favorite. But Tei-An is his […]
