Chico Taco Lounge to Expand to Dallas

Frisco residents already know that Chído Taco Lounge is the ideal spot for tacos and tequilas. Soon, Dallas diners can enjoy the same great offerings, but without the drive up north. Because on May 24, Chído Taco Lounge will open a second location at 75 and Walnut Hill in the Preston Hollow Village Shopping Center.

Chído, which means “cool” in Spanish, has been a Frisco favorite since it debuted in 2021, serving as a go-to for tacos, cervezas and tequilas in a friendly and unpretentious atmosphere. Those tenets will carry over to the Dallas location, but the Preston Hollow Village spot will build on the original with Customs, a members-only tequila lounge on the second floor.

Garden Restaurant in Garland Offers A Fantastic Dim Sum

DSC08151by Steven Doyle

You are most likely familiar with a handful of wonderful spots in Dallas to eek out decent dim sum.  We recently stumbled upon an additional find that until now has gone under our massive radar, and this restaurant is a wonderful find. You will want to make plans to visit Garden Restaurant located in Garland.

If you were familiar with Arc-en-Ceil, one of the best dim sum restaurants that existed in Dallas (and Arlington), this is the same building in Garland. At Garden you will find a whole host of delicious Asian cuisine that varies from both Chinese and Vietnamese. The dim sum menu is good all day and night, but cart service flows only during luncheon hours. All other times you order off the menu and get the items you choose freshly made from the kitchen. This can actually be a good thing as the dim sum list is vast and always fresh.    Continue reading →

DFW-based La Pulga Spirits

One year ago, three local entrepreneurs launched La Pulga Tequila, a new spirit produced and bottled in Mexico, but born here in Dallas/Fort Worth. As the company celebrates its one year anniversary, La Pulga has expanded the portfolio to include a new ultra- premium mezcal, La Pulga Mezcal.

Now available across North Texas — and soon throughout the state – La Pulga Mezcal is crafted in the rugged landscapes of San Luís Potosí, Mexico, from wild harvested 100% Salmiana Agave, imparting a very distinct and flavorful taste and aroma of green chili, citrus, and green olives/brine. La Pulga Mezcal is a “joven,” or unaged mezcal.
