All the places we love eating at in Dallas.
Great for all meals, especially dinner and brunch. MUST GET their peach bellini, but be careful, they are strong. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Call ahead to get reservations, can be busy!

In our opinion, best tacos in Dallas, even though trendy pl. will say Velvet Taco (good but their sides are better than their tacos). Taco Joint has one of the best quesos in town along with a great frozen margarita, which is a goood size. This is a fast, causal style place. You can sit down or take to-go. Not fancy.

Our other favorite Tex Mex restaurant located in the Deep Ellum neighborhood. This is a little more upscale and a sit down restaurant. This has our FAVORITE queso in town. It comes flaming in a HUGE bowl. Also get their Ibirra Tacos, truly will leave you wanting more.

All around great place to eat for all meals. Fantastic food (brunch, lunch, and dinner). There’s not a dress code but think upscale casual (jeans and nice shirt). You have to get their jalapeño cornbread with honey butter and not share. They also have starbursts as their after dinner ‘mints’.

Deep Ellum is a hip music scene with tons of live music venues. It’s always busy and fun to explore, day or night. Oliver Peck, from Inkmaster, shop is located here and called Elm Street Tattoo. Mama Tried is a fun country style live music venue. Brain dead is a local brewery, fun place to hang but not great beer or food. Also all the best murals to take your IG snaps in front of.
