The Travis Avenue bar and restaurant scene is a favorite hangout for the uptown crowd. From the porch of Mexican kitchen and Tequila Lounge, you can look out on a street lined with fancy cars and beautiful people, or you can look inside at the breezy California-style dining room, rich with dark cherry tables and floors, and white adobe walls. Walk into the bar area and sample any of their 100-plus tequilas—they even have several top shelf tequilas on tap. Have drinks with friends or sit down for a delicious gourmet Tex-Mex meal.Here you can get the most virile tableside guacamole known this side of the Minute Men; a place where haute Mexican regional cooking unfurls in fresh clear flavors, including the prime New York strip ranchero; short ribs braised in cabernet and Mexican chili; and nachos with lobster, black bean puree, avocado and jalape�o jelly. Trece is where good Mexican lives in Dallas. Here?s hoping more follow suit.

2008 | Best Guacamole

That guacamole might be allowable on a strict diet plan seems at best ludicrous, but we have been consuming guac all over town and still losing weight. Might have something to do with the two hours of aerobic activity we do every morning and the... More >
2007 | Best Mexican Restaurant

Chalk it up to climate change—everything else is—but it's getting increasingly difficult to stir up deft authentic Mexican cuisine in Dallas. Most of the stuff that tries passes muster, but it won't spark the Pavlov reflexes. That's why Trece—or... More >
2007 | Best Margarita

Forty-five bucks worth of mindless tribute, that's what it is. Named after "famous for being famous" Dallas "barrister" Steve Stodghill—who gained fame partly by investing in Mark Cuban's Broadcast.com and partly by flaunting the demeanor of a... More >

It's hard to get used to the 4513 Travis St. address in this guise. Its predecessor Sipango was a temple of boho chic, a hall of used brick and mortar grit softened by dense nicotine cumulus roiling in the bar. The Cal-Ital cuisine, dispensed from... More >
Freaky Number

By Mark Stuertz | Thu, April 13, 2006

For most of the 19th century the most common ill-luck superstition was 13 at a table: If 13 people sat down together at a table, one would die within a year. So what happens if 13 people sit down at a table in a restaurant called 13? Does the sola... More >

That guacamole might be allowable on a strict diet plan seems at best ludicrous, but we have been consuming guac all over town and still losing weight. Might have something to do with the two hours of aerobic activity we do every morning and the fact that we're forced to slather the Mexican munchie on celery sticks, but hey, it's tasty, good for you and most important: no prohibido. So we feel qualified to make the Best Of call on this appetizer, which has gone considerably upscale (read: expensive) throughout the onset of our fat years. Trece's guacamole is every bit as expensive ($12) as it is exemplary, which is evident from the restaurant dedicating several cart-wheeling guacamole chefs to perform its Guacamole Live programming. Avocados are sliced, diced and mushed together with cilantro, serrano and habanero peppers, lime and garlic. Also mixed into the brew are onions and tomatoes, roasted, not raw, which may make the difference in flavor (smoky) from your run-of-the-mill expensive guacamole�also the long, narrow homemade chips�yes, we tasted a few despite violating the sacred covenant of our diet. But it was for the best, right, and 15 extra minutes on the treadmill took care of those crispy dippers�though their memory will never, ever be erased.
