Lakewood has a new neighborhood hangout: My Dream Latin Cuisine, a family-run Latin restaurant that quietly opened this week at 7260 Gaston Ave. The spot is aiming squarely at locals, mixing family recipes with shareable plates and casual, come-as-you-are staples.
Founder Salvador Gamón, who grew up in Zacatecas and has worked in Dallas kitchens since 1992, teamed up with his brother Hugo and niece Ivette Ipina to bring the restaurant to life. Gamón says the menu is the product of decades in professional kitchens and a lifetime of family cooking. “Quality is first for us,” he told reporters. “So far, we have had only happy customers,” according to CultureMap Dallas.
What’s on the menu
The kitchen leans into Latin American comfort favorites such as tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, empanadas and enchiladas, with larger entrees designed for the table to share. Online ordering listings also show appetizers like birria empanada and chicken flauta among the options, as listed on Uber Eats.
Hours, prices and the bar
The team lists hours as 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, with Tuesdays off. A lunch combo special runs $12 for two items and $14 for three, each served with Mexican rice and beans. Entrees land roughly in the $16 to $26 range, and desserts are $9 each. There is a full bar on site with a soon-to-be-issued alcohol license and plenty of parking, and the restaurant is making its corn tortillas in house, per CultureMap Dallas…
