The New to Texas "New Guy" introduction!

[The_Architect_23]

Stopping in to say Hello and introduce myself to the forum.
I am brand spankin new to Texas in the DFW area.
Up until now I have only visited for work or friends so everything is still very new and exciting.

Custom 3D design, product development, prototyping and fabrication is my area of expertise. Parts / Accessories for other enthusiasts and exotic armaments has been my main business for almost 15 years.
I am currently settled and looking for a decent company to call my day job as I wont be able to open for business for some time here just yet.
Looking for folks local that want to go shoot, or just want to throw some advice my way to integrate a bit faster.

Happy to be aboard!

Howdy.
In order to integrate, be conservative, don't be gay, don't gripe about tex-mex food.
And don't take stuff personal.

I think I can handle that, Tex-Mex is a new concept. Recommendations?

DFW is a large area. I'd be hard pressed to suggest anything close to the center of it.
Abuelo's is good.
Uncle Julio's
On the Border
Lot's of local mom and pop restaurants that are better than any chain.

 

[The_Architect_23]

More specifically I should say, locations to visit. Mexican food I am familiar with but the fusion of Tex-Mex makes that the new part.

The ones I mentioned are chain restaurants.

Owner / operator, mom / pop will be the most interesting. Excellent ones scattered all over the Metroplex. First time visitor should start with a decent chain like the ones above, and maybe Papacitos.

Abuelo's looks very good and embarrassingly enough - up until a few minutes ago, I thought "On the Boarder" was solely a chip brand if that tells you anything about the newness
I know where I am going tonight, Appreciate the recommendations!

 

[Eastexasrick]

If you are in the Allen, Mckinney, Melissa, Anna, area check out San Miguel Grill. The owner, Arturo, has several interesting items, off menu. And ask for a " fresh squeezed" margarita on the rocks.

In DFW: Desperados, Mi Cocina, Gloria's, Matt's Rancho Martinez, and on some days, Chuy's (best fajita chicken salad) and Blue Goose.


Edit to add Lupe Tortilla. Its my current favorite.


Also some good local ones depending on where you live / work.

If you like margaritas, try the "El jeffe" at Abuelos.

Abuelo's..

The Grande at Abuelo’s would be the mexican dinner plate equivalent. Focus on trying each of the enchiladas and the chile relleno before hitting the rice/beans as filler.

Wait until you discover brisket breakfast tacos.
