French mex

Or more like a taste revolution. This restaurant was a very nice surprise. The pepito Steak sandwich was very well devour and the ice tea was cold, fresh and plenty. I can tell by the eyes and expressions of my fellow lunchers, that they were really delight by the tender of their meat and the mixture of flavors. I will have to go back to try the Chiles en Nogada, and maybe his time, I will have 3 or 4 of their amazing Sangrias. After all, if you can't beat the heat, might as well drown it. Fumario.

Soley at Henderson

I found out about this restaurant about 6 months ago, since then I became a fan of several of their dishes. French-Mex Fusion make it very unique. I love their ceviches, Mussels Soley with light cream and Chorizo, if this sounds weird to you wait, there's more, Chile en Nogada (poblano pepper) filled with duck, Spinach Salad with goat cheese breaded with Chicharrón instead of bread (pork skin). For main entrees I have try, Pork Chops with marinated in Chile Ancho, La trucha (trout) with Nopalitos and cilantro sauce Crepes, Steak and French Fries, and for me, the best of the best, Duck breast over mashed sweet potatoes and a side of spinach with bacon, olalájúa.

The only think I don't care that much are the desserts but the chocolate cake made without flour (attention Atkins' followers) is good. 9.5 out of 10.

PS I try their lunch, it was good but the service extremelly slow, I'm sure they'll fixed.

el tizoncito

far far away from Dallas we found El Tizoncito right at Illinois ave. The first time I came the experience was really bad. But my craving for a real tacos make me comeback, the result? It was great. We order first Cebollitas Preparadas (onions with seasonings) taste was good but they didn't came as it use to be, the whole onion but in slices. Alambre al Pastor was next, really good as well as the Bistek (steak) Tacos. The only think they need to work on it, the tortillas, not the best ones. The salsa was good as well. At the end I try a bite of Flan de Caramelo. Good consistency, great homemade taste. I will give 9 out of 10 points.

Pei Wei Asian Diner

Pei Wei, located in the corner of McKinney Ave and Pearl. Pei Wei is a scaled down, informal version of P.F. Chang's. It's a hard place to review, considering it's a big chain restaurant. Yet the service is quick, the food is good and the place has a good ambience. I had a chicken fried rice bowl, it was okay. The size was generous, I didn't finish the plate. The good thing: I spent under $10 for the dish plus a soda. Good deal.

Sammy's BBQ

Sammy's BBQ (http://www.sammysbbq.com) is definitely my favorite BBQ restaurant close to Downtown Dallas and surrounding areas. The website says it's family owned, and it shows. The menu is classic Texas BBQ. You can't go wrong with the beef brisket, just delicious. Plus the sauce is always dead on - not spicy, yet flavorful. The side dishes are fantastic too, with enough choices to please anyone. Today, I had potato casserole and fried Zucchini. 

The decor is rustic and relaxed. Big, comfortable tables and chairs. A nice air-conditioned dining room plus a huge terrace for those days of forgiving weather. If you're feeling like having BBQ, Sammy's is your best choice.
