Last week, we dove into the oldest restaurants in Dallas that have passed the torch from one generation to another and still draw a crowd.

I grew up — in part — in Houston and would do anything for an enchilada plate at Monterrey House, which closed a long time ago. Others chimed in, providing a trip down many memory lanes, and we thought we’d share them here.
These are a mix of closed restaurants and many that are still thriving. Notably, the person who figures out how to bring back a cafeteria might be onto something.
