Mia's Tex-Mex Restaurant

The interior of this longtime Tex-Mex favorite has been fancified (new paint, etc.), but the brisket tacos are still hearty and delicious. Lola’s Special, a simple platter of three chalupas—bean, queso, and guacamole—still satisfies. Service is as efficient as ever, so you can be in and out in less than an hour at lunchtime, but you can still linger over margaritas at dinnertime. Beer and margaritas.

The Mia's interior got a facelift.

Series Preview: Rangers at Rays

Newsflash: BJ Upton and Carl Crawford are fast. As in fast enough to combine for 69 steals in Tampa Bay’s first 80 games. That’s good enough for the duo to put Tampa 4th in steals in all of Major League Baseball. By themselves. As a team? Oh, the Rays have managed a humble 121 steals, which [...]

$5 Lunch in Dallas: Antoine’s

Antoine’s has been on my list for a while now, mostly because Nancy told me they serve po’boys. Now, I had a New Orleans po’boy in my mind when we headed to Harry Hines today. I was thinking fried shrimp, maybe oyster. Definitely served warm. Antoine’s was different than that. But it was all good. [...]
