Calle Doce Restaurante (La)

Description:

  • This cozy Mexican joint, in a modest old blue house in Oak Cliff, south of Dallas, has been one of the best home-style Mexican restaurants in the area for more than 25 years. A cult favorite, it deserves to be much better known. The extensive menu focuses on nouvelle Mexican fish dishes, such as superb ceviche (fish and shrimp marinated with lime), Mexican seafood (such as octopus) cocktails, mahimahi tacos, and other main courses such as chile relleno de mariscos (poblano pepper stuffed with shrimp, scallops, octopus, and fish). They even do respectable Spanish paella, or you can opt for the more standard Tex-Mex plates. The soups, such as sopa de pescado (fish soup) and caldo Xochitl (Oaxacan-style chicken soup) make wonderful appetizers. The margaritas are among the best in town. If your kids like Mexican and Tex-Mex, they should feel like they're eating at Grandma's house -- that is, if they called Grandma Abuela.

    Excellent food. Must try.
