Velvet Taco

There are two tribes in the world of tacos. There are the steadfast purists who prefer things simple, who value well-cooked, well-seasoned meat inside a double corn... More »
ZuZu

4140 Abrams Road, Dallas, TX 75214

This tiny area chain, co-founded by Espartaco Borga in 1993, is a health-conscious bargain muncher's paradise. None of the menu items is more than $10. The kitchen goes to... More »
Desperados

4818 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX 75206

Mexico native Jorge Levy opened his Tex-Mex hall in 1976 to great applause. The applause continues. The barely altered menu has much to do with it. Among the items... More »

Cantina Laredo

6025 Royal Lane, Dallas, TX 75230

Every bit as good as the original Addison location, possibly better, and in much more stylish surroundings. As always, we enjoyed the flawless tomatillo and... More »
Casa Navarro

A homey neighborhood joint with a huge Tex-Mex and Taxco-Mex menu that's found quite a following, and with good reason. For starters--along with the usual chips and... More »

Scott Reitz writes for Dallas Observer on Velvet Taco

At 2 a.m. on a recent Saturday, the intersection of Knox Street, Henderson Avenue and Central Expressway was a tangled mess of cars and tipsy foot traffic. That's often the case late on the weekends. Sissy's, Victor Tangos and Hibiscus all stop serving plates before midnight, but The Dram, The Old Monk and Vickery Park keep loosening their customers' inhibitions with shots of Jameson and...

Scott Reitz writes for Dallas Observer on Cafe Maya

It was a small, unassuming, black plastic dish I might have overlooked had it not come with an ominous warning. My waiter was very clear. Be careful, this is spicy, he warned the table.

Rude unhelpful staff with first time visitor, food looked like a 7 year old playing in the kitchen made it. No one in my party would eat the queso on a dare, food was over seasoned and nasty.

I lived in the neighborhood a year before I realized this wasn't a biker bar but rather an AWESOME mexican restuarant. Oh yeah and they make good margaritas too.
