This small hole-in-the-wall taco place is fabulous. The tacos are amazing, especially the OMG beef tacos. Open until 2am.

Voted best fried chicken in Dallas, this korean-style chicken joint is fab and easy on the wallet. It's on a side-street that is one-way, so go down Campbell and turn on Alamo and go through the strip mall to get there.

Drinks & Nightlife

Because I love craft cocktails, this place can't be beat. It's fabulously appointed and the walnut old fashioneds are to die for.

TOTALLY worth the trip out to Fort Worth, this Tadao Ando museum is reason to go in itself, before any of the artwork! Have brunch in the fab café first, and don't forget to check out the Kimbell Art Museum next door. Sundays are free admission.

This gorgeous Louis Kahn building might be small, but the artwork packs a punch. I usually do both this and the Fort Worth Modern Museum in one day to make the trip out worthwhile.
