The amount of excellent food available in Dallas is dizzying, leaving no time for mediocre meals. Your Eater Dallas editor dines out frequently and comes across many standout dishes and drinks that need to be shared. Here are the best dishes I ate in Dallas this month.
800 West Arapaho Road in Richardson
One of the best excursions I made in July was the short drive up to Richardson to try this Mexican spot, which will open a second location in the Park Cities in the fall. Sueno had so many excellent dishes that it is hard to pick just one to highlight, but the carne asada (a grilled Angus rib-eye) with grilled vegetables, frijoles a la Mexicana, tomato relish, and guacamole fresco was a home run. It also comes with a side of the housemade tortillas, and a bite with every element of the dish stuffed inside a warm tortilla was heavenly. I also tried the carajillo with dessert, which is so much more decadent than most in the city. The tableside presentation of the espresso cocktail involves sprinkling cinnamon on top while an open flame hits it, causing sparks to fly. So much fun.
