Enjoy Tex-Mex favorites at the Blue Goose

The Blue Goose Cantina offers up Tex-Mex favorites at five locations across the metroplex. The menu boasts all the favorites: enchiladas, fajitas, tamales, and of course a big 'ol bowl of chile con queso. They also have rotating weekly specials, including specials during hatch chile season. The Blue Goose additionally offers a weekend brunch menu, complete with a Bloody Mary bar and is one of the few places in town that offers Machacado con heuvos, a shredded dry beef in a scramble. It's also not Tex-Mex without a darn good margarita, and their ritas are award winning.

Put a little Austin in your taco at Torchy’s

Austin taco chain Torchy's Tacos has branched out to Big D with a location in North Dallas, bringing its famous tacos with it. Torchy's is a breath of fresh air, considering how few really good taco stands call DFW home. Torchy's takes gourmet ingredients, mixes them up in clever combinations and wraps it all in a tortilla. The Mr. Pink (Ahi tuna and chipotle sauce), the fried avocado (self explanatory), and the brush fire (Jamaican jerk chicken, with mango and grilled jalapenos) are a few favorites on the menu. Torchy's is also open for breakfast, with a special breakfast taco menu (though they will let you order off any menu whenever you want). Add to that four house-made special salsas to choose from and green chile queso that is dabomb.com. Warning: consumption of Torchy's Tacos tacos can lead to a condition often referred to as "taco coma."

Eat me at Fuzzy’s Tacos

DFW's beloved Fuzzy's Tacos serves the metroplex Baja-style Mexican food that's always fresh, and with a slogan like "Eat me!" every order always comes with a small side of attitude. After gaining a following at their original location on Berry Street in Fort Worth, Fuzzy's has since expanded with several locations across DFW, the state and even the nation. While everything on the menu is good, most patrons visit Fuzzy's for their Baja tacos (especially of the shrimp tempura or crawfish variety). They also have ample TV's set up for your sports viewing pleasure, keep the margaritas and beer flowing and make some of the best chile con queso in town.
