La Popular Tamale House – Dallas, TX

Three girls, one goal: eat tacos for every meal. Goal met. We started our taco trek at The Market at Dallas Farmers Market. If you haven’t been to The Market you need to give it a try. It is a ginormous indoor food hall including restaurants, food vendors and shopping. We bellied up to La Popular…

Texas Spice – Dallas, TX

I love a staycation. L-O-V-E. I recently staycayed at The Omni Dallas Hotel. Check out the hotel review here. For breakfast I went downstairs to Texas Spice. The decor is really refreshing. I would call it repurposed Texana. Upscale rustic. I felt very welcomed and comfy. There is a great patio with plenty of seating…

BGR The Burger Joint – Dallas, TX

  Recently, I was invited to try BGR The Burger Joint.  If a great burger is what you are after this is the place.  It is not a one-burger-fits-all joint. There is a burger for every taste. The Burger is prime, dry-aged beef grilled over a flame.  It is served on a fresh-baked brioche bun made locally…

HG SPLY Co. – Dallas, TX

A couple of weeks ago I reviewed Remedy.  Later, I found out the owners of Remedy also owned HG SPLY Co.  Well, if HG SPLY Co. was half as good as Remedy, I had to try it.  It did not disappoint.  A friend and I ventured out on a drizzly Halloween afternoon for lunch.  We had a short…

Val’s Cheesecakes – Dallas, TX (Part Two)

I fell in love tonight.  His name is Val.  Yes, Val of Val’s Cheesecakes.  Here’s the story.  I was checking Instagram and saw that Val’s was featuring Ginger Man cheesecake slices tonight.  I messaged to see if there were any slices left.  Val responded that there were.  I headed down the DNT to claim my…

Remedy – Dallas, TX

Remedy is a restaurant like no other.    I fell in love as soon as I walked in.  The charcoal gray tufted booths, the mix of old and new architecture and fixtures, the creamy mint green accents…pure bliss. One look at the menu and I knew this place had a remedy for what ailed me….

El Tizoncito Taqueria – Dallas, TX

This little gem just opened in the location of an old Starbucks at the southeast corner of Marsh Lane and Frankford.  El Tizoncito is a pleasant surprise.  First off, I had this place pegged as more of a fast food restaurant.  It isn’t.  The small restaurant is clean and well-acquainted.  The majority of the diners…

Taco Diner – Addison, TX

Taco Diner serves consistently great, quality food.  Dallas, Richardson, Frisco, Fort Worth, Southlake.  No matter the location, the food is great. EVERY time.  Addison was the location of my last visit.  We were greeted to the light, airy decor with pops of green and colorful wall art.  The waiter brought the chips and two salsa choices….

Cafe Brazil – Carrollton, TX

I am a fan of Café Brazil and have visited a few of their locations in the area.  I like that they support local artists by displaying their work.  The restaurant was clean and bright. A friend and I arrived for an early dinner around 4 PM.  There were only two other tables occupied.  The server greeted us…

AllGood Cafe – Dallas, TX

AllGood Café has been on my restaurant bucket list for some time.  I was glad to have the opportunity to try it.  We arrived right before the rush and I am glad we did because the line grew quickly. I loved the thrown together interior.  The origami pieces floating from the old ceiling tiles were…

Seven Mile Cafe- Denton, TX

Took a road trip up to see my daughter at UNT and tried Seven Mile Café on a colleague’s recommendation. Seven Mile is greatness. First off, there are two of them. One larger restaurant and a smaller coffee shop right across the parking lot. Both serve their amazing single origin coffees and bakery items. The restaurant has…

Zuzu – Addison, TX

I am not exactly how long Zuzu has been around but it has been awhile. In the early 90s I frequented two locations: Skillman and Lakewood. The Lakewood location is and cotijo. I was surprised and saddened when I couldn’t find it on the menu, though it still appears on their website. I love the bright, colorful interior….
