Best Thai food in Dallas, hands down. Try the Chan-Poo if you're looking for a noodle dish that isn't Pad Thai. Their Tom Kha is fantastic and the corn patties are to die for.

Pretty straightforward Tex-Mex on the cheap here. There are better options around town, but this spot is quick and tasty when you stick to the basics.

This is sort of a hidden gem because they have yet to be reviewed by DMN or any other major publication (as far as I can tell).

The Mexican Lasagna is excellent and unique though a little on the heavy side, but that's to be expected. I especially love the vegetable tamale's, which are on the appetizer menu, but can be substituted on an entree if you'd like. Before your meal, you will receive an Amuse-Bouche, consisting of a round tortilla chip with salsa, refried beans and a dab of sour cream. It's a nice start for a budget Tex-Mex house.
