Juuuuuuuuters

The only perfect 10 was the fact that is Friday. Other than that, the hooters's girls were as sour as their ranch and their smiles as sparse as their boneless wings. But hey, we all know that it is almost impossible to go wrong with cold beer and colder girls. 2.5 out of 5.

Zaguán-tanamera


Is like Carlos Santana playing with Maná, for some people is great, for others... not that much. I agree with Armani Xchain del cono sur, inconsistency is the problem, I ordered a Cachapa with Carne mechada and melted cheese and this time was really good. I add salsa and on top (just the way I like it), the combination between the sweetness of the corn and the spicy touch of the Salsa creates a really great one.
I also share a Arepa Reina, kind of mexican Gordita filled with avocado chicken mix, it was really, really good.
3 out of 5 points.

El Zaguán


Located at Oak Lawn and Routh, very close to Downtown Dallas, this eclectic café/restaurant is promising yet somewhat of a disappointment. The menu looks great, with typical plates from Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina among others. The photo shown here is their Venezuelan Cachapa, a sort of pancake made of corn which I ordered filled with beef, cheese, peppers and onions. The Cachapa, when well prepared, is delicious. Yet this restaurant is inconsistent in quality, taste and service. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it sucks. It has the potential, they just need to improve service and consistency. You go and try it, maybe you catch them in a good day.

______________________________


I think I went on one of those good days that the Zaguán has, I ordered a Veggie Arepa and it was really good, also somebody share with me an Arepa Reina and Ecuador Chicken (II think that was the name), everything was delicious, and well cooked in a relaxed and fresh ambient I give it 3 points of 5.

El Zaguán is the place to go when Hispanics want to feel at home and that is not because of the food, is more like every single table in the place is speaking in Spanish at our very peculiar loud volume and laughs everywhere, I think it could be like a “Happy Place”

The only thing I doesn’t like was the coffee they said it is Colombian, but I suppose they put lots of water on it or they overheated it, because you can’t get the Colombian coffee taste at all (it supposed to be really good).

Fito.

Ax:

I'm sorry this has to be my first review. I liked "La Taverna". The food is good, the service friendly, the menu is interesting and affordable. Yet one suggestion: for dessert, order a Peptobismol. Say no more.

J1txo:

I had the soup of the day, a tasty "Tomato bisque" and the "Rissoto a la Vin Santo", with asparagus, prosciutto and pecorino. It was very good, too much asparagus in my opinion. All around, in a scale on 1 to 5, my verdict: 3.5

Fumario:

I liked the Maserati parked outside. I liked the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I liked the service. I liked the Pizza. I didn't like the fact that Luis thought the croutons were old.

Fito:

Good selection of beers although I should be taking red wine but the risotto was awesome, a little bit to much, I think that 2/3 of the plate could be enough. Have to come back cause many of the plates on the menu makes me want to try them, also Fumario’s Gambas pizza was RIIIICCCCAAAAAA!!!!

Mexi-Can:

The Food is very good and the prices are not bad either. The ambiance is better for dinner although we had the place to ourselves. The Garganelli pasta, very fresh, very subtle. Overall two thumbs up!!

TasteBud:

The Taverna Pizzeria And Risottoria in Armstrong Avenue has great tasting Italian food, that’s prepared with extreme care and fresh quality ingredients, and it shows once you take the first bite. The Risotto ai Frutti di Mare was a joy to eat, a satisfying portion that won’t leave you feeling Texas size. The ambience is casual, not dark like your usual Italian Restaurant and it’s decorated with good taste. Try the pizzas, prepared with thin, soft dough that makes you feel closer to Rome.

Tiff:

I had the Paglia e Fieno. SO good... and i think i'm a picky eater. Great service and the prices weren't bad. Nice atmosphere, maybe a better place for dinner. and did i say the service was good?

4Head:

"Taverna-culos" this term apply to those who really like this restaurant like me. As usual I ordered Risotto with Chicken and Balsamic and it was really good, my friend Lamb Gardel got the same but also got some curious reaction on his underwear. Great service. My score is 3.5 out of 5
