Description:
DOWNTOWN. If authentic Mexican is what you're after, then you need to take a trip to the Cadillac Bar. This popular restaurant features traditional decor and its ambiance is full-fledged FIESTA! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere (complete with live music) is energetic. Locals favor the Cadillac for its renowned margaritas. Classics like Cabrito al Pastor (roasted young goat) and Camarones Enbrochette (stuffed shrimp) are among the many tasty menu items. To complete your bona fide Mexican meal, the Tres Leches dessert (pound cake soaked in three types of milk and whipped cream, then topped with cinnamon and vanilla) is an absolute must. |

Description:
IRVING. Spacious and elegant, this upscale establishment has become one of the area's most popular destinations for dinner and drinks. A refined Western decor distinguishes all its venues, which range from restaurant to bar to billiard room.

Venison and baby back ribs are also available, along with salmon and Australian lobster tail. Desserts are absolutely luscious, whether you opt for fresh berries with Grand Marnier cream or bread pudding with an addictive sauce of Makers Mark bourbon and pecans. A variety of bands play Thursday through Saturday, and the lounge offers aromatic cigars and a fine selection of cognacs. |

Description:
GREENVILLE AVENUE. When the urge for Cajun food strikes, head to Dodie's. The family-run restaurant is a favorite with local college students, who love to sit on the patio, people-watch, and dig into spicy treats like Cajun tamales (crabmeat-stuffed jalapenos), jambalaya, the zesty house coleslaw, and Dodie's famous "swamp fries," which come smothered in gravy and cheese. Non-seafood eaters, take heart – Dodie's has roast beef po' boys, blackened chicken, and red beans and rice. Only one dessert is on the menu, but regulars agree that you must save room for it – a fantastic bread pudding! |

Description:
UPTOWN. This sophisticated dining room features an open kitchen, smartly appointed tables, and stylish European-themed prints. Although the cuisine is billed as modern soul food, such a definition barely scrapes the surface. Southwestern, Asian, Cajun, and Italian influences find their way into many dishes – pulled baby back rib meat with stuffed jalapeno ravioli, manchego-stuffed beef tenderloin with chorizo cheese grits, and tempura-fried and nori-wrapped ahi tuna with miso and crawfish rice. |
