FIFA World Cup Dallas Dining Guide: North Dallas & Addison

Addison has more restaurants per capita than any city in Texas and consistently ranks among the highest restaurant-dense cities in the entire country. That statistic surprises people who think of it as a suburb on the way to somewhere else. The Belt Line Road corridor alone packs more serious food — steakhouses, Italian, Southern, Japanese, Mediterranean, Pan-Asian — into a walkable strip than most full cities manage. North Dallas runs alongside it with its own deep roster of neighborhood restaurants that have been feeding Preston Hollow, Park Cities, and the Preston Forest corridor for decades. Together they form one of the most underestimated dining destinations in the Metroplex, and during the World Cup they’ll be well positioned to serve visitors staying at the Addison hotel cluster and the North Dallas hotel corridor along the Dallas Tollway.

Dragon Casa in North Dallas Is Serving a Cuisine Most Texans Don’t Know Exists

Kung Pao Taco

Chinese-Mexican fusion sounds like a joke until you understand where it comes from. In the late 1800s, Chinese laborers working on the railroads and in the mines of northern Mexico put down roots rather than returning home.

Most likely you have had their burger. They landed on our mega burger list we ran last year, and have multiple locations across the city. Village Burger Bar makes a quality burger, along with some of the better fries around. Now owners Mike and Susan Matta are  announcing their fourth location will open Tuesday, October 22nd in North Dallas.  The new location is across the street from Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas – at 12300 Inwood Road.

Co-owner, Mike Matta says, “ We sought to create a neighborhood burger-centered concept that’s offerings, environment, staff and price point made it appeal to a larger audience.  Our panini sandwiches, salads and starters were not an afterthought.  When we opened in The West Village, we knew that many of the tenants and center employees would be visiting multiple times per week.  With that in mind we were careful to craft a menu that allowed them to enjoy a unique experience each visit.  We have guests that come in multiple times per week because of the variety of menu items we offer.”     Continue reading →
