La Popular Tamale House

A local fixture since 1984, La Popular is one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. Founder Jesse Moreno, Sr., wanted a place where everyone could gather to share food and lively conversations. Today, his son carries on his tradition of offering large portions at reasonable prices. The servers treat visitors like family, and visitors are only strangers once. Texas Monthly calls the homemade tamales the "best in Dallas." The chefs serve them by the dozen, with choices including beef, chicken, and pork jalapenos.  

Bubba's 

Considered one of DFW's comfort food meccas, Bubba's began in Mary Beth Vinyard's home kitchen. She and her husband opened the restaurant in 1981, to share the time-honored recipes they grew up with. The chefs allow the ingredients' natural flavors to shine, and their yeast rolls are a customer favorite. Enjoy their fried chicken with a side of green beans and mashed potatoes.

Si Tapas

Quite frankly, there is no better place to get top-notch tapas in Dallas than at Si Tapas. Here, you'll find everything from Iberico cured ham to Angulas al ajillo (baby eels in garlic sauce) to your choice of three different types of Paella. Executive chef Jose Luis Lopez is truly a master in the kitchen, and the reputation of Si Tapas is a testament to that fact. We recommend the Solomillo a la mostaza (sirloin steak in a delicious dijon sauce), or, if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, Cazón en adobo (marinated baby shark).

Stoneleigh P

The Stoneleigh P has been a Dallas institution since its inception in 1973, and for good reason. Their menu has a wide variety of sandwiches, burgers, enchiladas, and other dishes. We recommend trying their Legendary P burger and Swampy Mama gumbo, and, of course, their Godiva pie is NOT to be missed (their guacamole is also delicious). This is the perfect place to grab lunch with friends, or to stop in for evening drinks.
