Food & Drink

Pacheco Taco Bar in Las Colinas is pushing out some amazing Mexico City-inspired fare, along with one of the best tacos we’ve ever tasted.

We like tacos. And we like ice cream. But little did we know there’s a spot in Frisco where you can get both.

One of Dallas’ best little bars, The Grapevine, is moving to a bigger space just down the road. But before turning the lights out for the last time, they’re throwing a party and a bit of a garage sale too.

From cheesy brisket birra, to chicken mole poblano, Catrina Grill should be on your short list of places to try.

This Mexican ice cream shop sells everything over-the-top, from crepes to drinks to chocolate-coated popsicles. It’s a dessert lover’s dream.

Lionel Messi was in town, and so was David Beckham, who made the trip to Frisco and stopped at Blu’s Barbeque for some Texas-style barbecue.

We tried the wings, Nashville Hot chicken sandwiches, nuggets and cheesecake bites at Bad Chicken.

Lubbies Bagels is the newest entrant into the burgeoning Dallas bagel scene, taking up residence at the former location of 20 Feet Seafood in East Dallas.

Craft and Vine in Plano has a tap wall with more than 40 self-serve options. Is it beautiful or dangerous, or, perhaps, both?

On Sunday evenings, lowrider clubs show off their vintage cars and big sounds along Jefferson Avenue. It’s where we discovered Olidogs grilling LA-style dogs.

The duo behind Spinster Records offers an unpretentious cocktail and vinyl lounge serving light bites in the Bishop Arts District. We recently got a first look and plan to have many more.

The Royal Dinner for two takes four servers to offload and includes cream-infused curry, fresh garlic-studded naan, turmeric-tinted basmati rice, spiced Indian yogurt and more.

The owner of TJ’s Seafood, Malibu Poke, Escondido and Ramble Room has a new concept for East Dallas. Birdie’s Eastside, an expansive bar and grill, is going into the old Luby’s on Mockingbird Lane.

Sizzling fajitas and classic margaritas have always had a home here. Round two of Casa Rosa is just as good, and perhaps more endearing, some 40 years later.
