Tacos El Güero - the real thing

I have been living in Dallas for more than 12 years and I just find out this place courtesy of my colleagues. For my surprise, those are the real tacos, nothing but great ingredients, and no Tex-Mex seasoning. I had Steak, Suadero (skirt), tripa, cabeza and lengua (I'm not going to translate them so keep want it to try). Also you can ask for chorizo, pastor and a combination. Very important component: the tortillas, the right size (small) and texture. And the salsas are a hit. You also can ask for a torta of any of the meats or "gringas", flour tortilla, meat, cheese and other tortilla on top.

Any way, 4500 Bryan St is the address. Be aware that there are very few stools and you are eating right in the kitchen, which it make it more authentic. If is your first time ask for your courtesy taco, "el de prueba" so you can taste it and decide if you want to have 5 or 7!

Jorge's Tex-Mex

Yes an other one, but this one offers a bit different dishes in their menu, like chile relleno, fried chicken taco and a tostada, but more important, taste great, and the place is neat. Jorge's is located at the street level on the Arts One Plaza building, home of 7-Eleven and one block from the brand new Opera House and the Wyly theatre which make a very convenient stop before the show. What is great is the seating area on the patio, so if the weather is on your side, try it, is cool, nice and with a relax atmosphere, ideal for some drinks.

Geisha House, Hibachi Grill

Recently opened, Geisha House is located at 2600 Cedar Spring in Uptown Dallas, right across the street from Perry's steakhouse. The menu is a combination of Hibachi Grill (don't worry, I didn't know what it was either) and sushi. It has several seating options which make the place even more interesting. You can sit in a traditional japanese table (on the floor), in front of the grill and have the chef cook for you, at the bar, or you can just pick a table and eat without further ado.

I had the Grilled Steak Hibachi with stir fried vegetables and fried rice. Tasty, juicy, and well presented. Plus a soda I spent about $14 plus tip. Believe me, the place looks pricier.

I really hope this restaurant takes off. The concept is fun, the food is great and the service is excellent. Next time I'll go at night and try the sake. Can't wait.
