Not looking to spend a whole lot. Thanks! Wed Jan 03 16:51:40 -0800 2007 63805 DebbieJ 1 2149113 Do you want to stay downtown or are you willing to venture out a few miles? Wed Jan 03 18:47:44 -0800 2007 2148579 52988 BellaDonna 1 2150485 I won't have a car, so staying downtown or venturing out a short cab drive away would be preferred. Wed Jan 03 23:46:03 -0800 2007 2148579 63805 DebbieJ 1 2150947 The palm in the west end has been reliably good for me and is not super expensive. Thu Jan 04 01:56:53 -0800 2007 2148579 63962 don62 2 2153773 The Palm has an outlet in Chicago, and it's better than the one in the West End. Thu Jan 04 21:15:12 -0800 2007 2150947 10024 Kirk 1 2152299 There are quite a few places in Uptown along McKinney Ave that are reasonable. What sort of food are you looking for? Thu Jan 04 16:04:03 -0800 2007 2148579 23825 munchie1 1 2155360 I'm not fussy. That said, Mexican is weak here in the Chicago burbs where I live. I miss my Los Angeles Mexican food (lived there for 6 years). Certainly Dallas has some? I think the key here is location and moderate pricing. Thanks!

Close to you and moderately priced...Mattitos on Routh St. Monica's in Deep Ellum, Ojeda's @ Maple and Wycliff. As for other places that are close and moderately priced, Amuse on Lamar St is pretty good and has a nice view of downtown. Fuse on Commerce St has interesting and tasty tex-asian fusion. As I said before there are quite a few places on (and near) McKinney Ave. Yutaka Sushi, S&D Oyster House, Uptown Bar and the Loon (burgers etc), Cru (wine bar), Arcodoro Pomodoro (Italian), Coal Vines (New York Pizza), to name a few. Fri Jan 05 17:40:52 -0800 2007 2148579 23825 munchie1 1 2156948 I would check out the original El Fenix downtown. Not the best tex mex in my opinion but supposedly they originated the frozen margarita so it can't be all bad, right? Angry Dog in Deep Ellum is solid and some others you were given - S&D Oyster, Uptown Bar & Grill, and Yutaka are very good along with Breadwinners.

I'll see where I end up. :) Sat Jan 06 03:17:15 -0800 2007 2148579 63805 DebbieJ 1 2164337 For good Tex-Mex that's a fairly short cab ride away, you might also add Primo's on McKinney. Another good Mexican place is Taco Diner in West Village. Mexico City style tacos. Great salsas. I'd also give a strong second to the mention of S&D Oyster Company. Good Gulf Coast style seafood.

I think the food at Primo's is subpar, especially for Mexican in Dallas. Primo's only advantage is that it is open late (until 2:00 am I think). My favorite Mexican places near the area are: -Monica Aca y Alla (downtown) -Rafa's Cafe -Chuy's (can't beat their happy hour margaritas and appetizers, and they have good tortilla soup) -El Rincon Tapatio #3 (for more authentic Mexican, less tex-mex) Mon Jan 22 19:27:30 -0800 2007 2164337 58707 missmaggie
