T Blancos is a Taste of the Unexpected
T Blancos, 4.3 Stars Bite after bite, there was one word that kept coming to mind after diving fork first into each dish: Unexpected. From frozen Crown and Cokes to their apple slaw laced in cilantro, poblano peppers and zesty lime, T Blancos is definitely here to make taste buds ponder. For their second location, T Blancos decided to go big in Addison. They occupy the building that once belonged to popular lounge and restaurant, Button’s. The space was completely revitalized, there’s even talks of adding an upstairs patio. Having never visited T Blancos’ original location in Lakeport, Texas, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the eatery. Still, I…

Escape to Tortaco
Tortaco – 4 Stars miling and holding a half empty bottle Alejandro said, “There is an old saying in Mexico.” Handing over a slip of paper it read, “For all that’s wrong mezcal, and for all that is right as well.” Taking in another drink of my tonic, I quickly realized this saying was likely doctrine. Appearing more like a cozy ravenous dungeon than a restaurant, Tortaco is an escape from the “norm” when it comes to Mexican style cuisine in Dallas. Their menu does not boast margaritas, enchiladas and the Tex-Mex must, queso. Instead, you’ll find an assortment of delicious soft flour tortilla tacos, tortas, bowls and…
Avocado and Tequila Make it Official
Usually, I prefer for my avocado and tequila to keep a respectable distance. They may go to the same party, but they have different friends. One kicks it hardcore with tortilla chips, while the other is best buds with shot glasses, and limes. So, when I heard that there was an avocado margarita being served at Cantina Laredo I immediately thought a line was crossed? What were these two doing canoodling together? Happily this is a love affair that works. Recently launched at all Cantina Laredo’s, I decided to test out this new concoction at the 32-year-old Addison location. The margarita is made with 1800 Añejo Tequila with Midori Melon…
The Magic at Henry’s Majestic
Henry’s Majestic-4.5 Stars TXMB Tucked in the corners of McKinney there is a rather hidden but well-known gem. I should rephrase, for me being a rather unfortunate soul at directions it is pretty hidden. I had to ride around the neighborhood about 15 additional minutes to find the place, despite my phone navigation declaring that the destination was on the left. Once I found Henry’s Majestic, it wasn’t long after that I realized I’d found magic. Arriving around 5:45PM, the evening began with a kind greeting from a valet attendant. Because of course, you’re not Dallas unless you have valet. We clearly love it. Henry’s however, is complimentary, which is…
Sliders vs Swank at the Eberhard
The Eberhard 3.3 Stars Swank is not the easiest thing to pull off. In fact, it’s actually quite difficult, but when done correctly, there is no question that you get the feeling you’re sitting in the lap of luxury. It’s safe to say that the Eberhard has definitely done their research on swank. I arrived close to 6PM on a Friday to meet up with my pal for a little chitter chatter and happy hour. Pulling up, it was no surprise that the place requires valet. After all, this is Dallas, TX and valet is a way of life. Opening the large doors, I was pleasantly greeted by two lovely…
Terrible Number Two
Eddie’s Napolis Fine Italian Restaurant TXMB Rated 1.5 Stars The desire was there yet again, and the decision of taking a much needed nap or searching for food came upon me. Well, I decided the belly was beckoning for Italian and the belly in this hour made itself known that it was more important than the eyelids. So, I hopped in Old Blue and made my way to Eddie’s Napolis Fine Italian Restaurant. Napolis is defiantly your definition of a hole in the wall. Like several of the restaurants I’ve visited in Garland it is inside of a shopping center. From the outside, the place is nothing special and a…
Yum Yum at Tom Yum Thai
Tom Yum Thai-Rated 3.8 Stars txMB It was time again, and the beckoning of the belly was upon me. For this gastric adventure I decided to go Thai. I’d heard quite a bit about Tom Yum Thai from different people. Hooray, hooray they all say, go and get the lunch buffet. Well, I’ve said once, I’ll say it a trillion times, I am a fan of a good buffet. Endless choices, flat price and plate after plate of comida. Buffets and booze over boys anytime. With that in mind, I hopped in reliable Old Blue, and headed to Tom Yum Thai. It was a Friday, and Friday’s are special at…
