This Deep Ellum mainstay won last year's award for Best Tex-Mex in Dallas with homemade tortillas, great Margaritas, tacos and tamales.
For the amount of work the kitchen puts into their dishes, from the hand-made tortillas to the fresh salsas, the menu provides a great value.
This hole-in-the-wall is lauded for its enchiladas and dedicated regulars -- 30 years of scarfing down the popular whopper plate, The Jimmy's Special should get you a discount.
Don't sleep on the earthy pazole -- it's one of the best renditions in Dallas.
The chili relleno served at Avila's made this year's 100 Favorite dishes because the kitchen leaves the pepper naked instead of breading it. Watch out for that salsa -- it packs a punch.
Cuquita's serves of simple Tex-Mex that may hit the cheese a little hard, but still doesn't leave you feeling like you need medical support to get home.
If you've been a fan of the upscale Tex-Mex of Mi Cocina, get out of your groove and give Mr. Mesero a try.
This place is insane on a Friday night. The line is always out the door, and every time someone steps out, the deafening sounds of Mariachi music pour into the street. Try the cabrito.
Their salsa packs a punch, but it pairs well with their queso and crunchy beef tacos. On Wednesdays, they do food specials all day. Branch out from standard fajitas and enchiladas and try the posole.
