The flagship restaurant in Oak Cliff, situated in a cozy house with a wide patio, has been serving coastal Mexican cuisine in a quaint atmosphere since 1981. The owners have since opened a second restaurant in Lakewood. What makes Calle Doce stand out among the area’s panoply of Mexican fare is the focus on seafood—ceviche, shrimp cocktail served with avocado and cilantro, stuffed clams and blackened grilled tilapia, to name a few examples. It’s the perfect place to sit outside and enjoy lunch or dinner accompanied by a margarita or a Corona.
