Coffee Shop - What a charming and cute coffee shop! I absolutely adored how the decor is and how nice the baristas are. We got their dirty chai and the Oat Cliff, which words cannot explain how delicious both are! Definitely a worthwhile stop for a good cup of coffee (and a whoooole lot better than Starbucks any day.)

Mexican Restaurant - I love this place! We come here at least once a week and everything we’ve had is delicious and authentic. The chilaquiles and breakfast dishes are a must and the mini pan dulce is addicting. Sofia and her husband make us feel like we’re special guests in their home every time we dine here. So happy we have this place in our neighborhood!

Mexican Restaurant - O M G ...LOVE.
Really didn't expect this place to really impress me so much. It looks like a small diner from the outside but when you walk in you notice it's a lot more spacious than that.
The food tho and the service is fantastic! The tacos are delicious and they're not stingy, full of food and flavor! You can order pick up and to go. The waitresses are attentive and very pleasant. A wide variety of breakfast tacos and lunch meat tacos. They offered me a tamale sample that their going to start adding to the menu regularly and I was amazed again. Just quality, flavorful food at decent prices. I believe the tamales will be sold in the dozen tho. The only thing for me is they close at 3pm. I think that's too early, next door the mixing bowl closes even earlier at 2pm. I prefer the food and service at Mago's Cafe, plus they have seating tables and the other place is only to go orders. No bells and whistles just really good food and friendly service here.

Italian Restaurant - (Reservations only; You can make reservations on their website) Lucia is nothing but amazing. From the great service to the modern Italian cuisine, I loved every minute of my experience.
I started the night by taking recommendations from the waitress. She walked me though everything, and highlighted a few of her favorites. Everything selected for me was delicious, way beyond the normal Italian I've found all over the city.

Steakhouse - Divine food, decent climate and great workers. This spot's got everything. We requested lobsters and crab cakes as our starters. Mouth-watering taste, and the sauce with it added flawlessness to the dish. We ordered Double Cut Lamb Rib Chop; the absolute best that I have eaten in Dallas. If you love lamb, you'll love this spot. We had stunning experience.

Brewery - Brewery that gives off a great local coffee shop feel and oh yeah, they have phenomenal espresso as well. Environment is sleek and comforting—the staff is even more pleasant. The food is better than most restaurants who’s sole focus is to just make food. Lastly, the beer is all fantastic. We live in a time where breweries will attempt crazy beers that you truly only want to try once; they definitely experiment here but it’s done with precision and care. Every beer will you leave you wanting another which can be easily done by grabbing some of their beautiful cans to go in their fridge. Overall—A+ Nothing but all around good vibes. A great spot to just unplug from the craziness of the world while also having a crazy good time yourself.

The burger I had was absolutely amazing. For $10, it was well worth the price. I've come by a few times before for some groceries, and always had pleasant experiences. Their selection is pretty impressive, even for the small store that it is. They have a plethora of vegan, gluten free, and keto foods at prices competitive to Kroger and Whole Foods. The small sale section is also a little treasure trove of items. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Bakery - (Must order online, and pickup on Thursday) Each week, they offer a rotating, seasonal menu filled with naturally leavened, and whole grain-infused bakes. They always offer sourdough loaves and sweet & savory pastries and often offer challah, focaccia and cakes slices. They draw inspiration from South African flavors, their travels, and the seasons.

The pizza and wings here are to die for! We got the 16 inch New York Style crust Porky the Hag. This is a super rich pork pizza, with Canadian bacon, bacon, pepperoni, extra cheese and spicy pizza sauce. It was delicious! I loved the spicy sauce and the crust. We also got some lemon pepper boneless wings. They were also super delicious! And they are open 24 hours a day!

My favorite fried chicken ever! The sandwich is the best.
I ordered two spicy 3-piece dark plates, each plate comes with a biscuit and your choice of 2 sides. I got my plates with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, fries and creamed corn. I also got the Mikes Chicken Sandwich. My total for all of these things was about ~$27. And let me tell you, everything was great.
3 piece dark plates: Chicken pieces are really big, with a super flavorful, crispy skin. The meat is very juicy, and the skin is so delicious.
The sides were good too! But they're not the star of the show. Mashed potatoes, french-fries, creamed corn, and coleslaw were all pretty standard and complemented the meals well.
Mikes Chicken Sandwich: SO good! The portion is huge, and it's a really great sandwich. Enough said.
Service is fast, and I suggest you call in your order, or order online if you plan on picking it up. It gets pretty busy.
All in all, I love this place. The chicken is so good, and so far everything I've tried has been great.

There's no eating inside though, and they only accept cash. It's also sometimes best to call in your order 10 minutes in advance.

Movie theater - The Alamo is the only place I want to go see movies due to their great in-theater beer selection, policies against noisy patrons and children, and comfortable seats. Going to any other theater branch feels like a horrible experience compared to what the Alamo provides. It also has a gorgeous roof-top patio that offers stunning downtown views.

Six tacos + bottle of house wine for like $35. Red house wine was decent... Tacos were really good. Great for a meet up. Good local vibe in a mixed residential neighborhood. Not a place to club/get trashy faced.

We came for the Dior exhibition. I bought tickets online because they were timed. Upon arrival we paid $15 to park in garage. Neat experience overall. Everyone was nice and pointed us in the right direction. As you walk in there's a cafe and store. I like the entrance design as they have some seating to wait and it's a drive up to pickup or drop off.

Even took some time for lunch and ate by the elephants exhibit. Parking was perfect. Price was doable. Staff were very nice and open to all questions. Bathrooms were stocked. Gift shop was equipped with all your favorite animal souvenirs in which our folks from out of state got to take home to show off. The freeway construction was not the greatest but as soon as you park it is as if you are entering another world!
