Ka-Tip Thai Street Food · Dallas
Flavor-packed, budget-friendly Thai street food with generous portions.
Taqueria El Si Hay · Oak Cliff, Dallas
Named on both Dallas Observer's 12 Best Tacos and Infatuation's 16 Best Mexican. a 25-year Oak Cliff stand where everything is under $3 and the beef fajita on double corn tortillas is the whole case.
Angry Dog · Deep Ellum
This Deep Ellum bar is named for its own signature dish, a split, grilled kosher dog on a toasted open-faced bun piled with chili, grilled red onions, mustard, and shredded cheddar. It is a bar-food classic that predates the recent wave of gourmet hot dog spots, and the chili dog remains the reason regulars keep coming back.
