JOE LEO’S TEX MEX: Great food and a solid Tex Mex place! 💓 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: I’m not sure but it seems to be a local Dallas staple for years now. I only just found out about it. It’s pretty cute inside. Chips and salsa were fire >>> 🍒 THE VIBE: pretty casual, laid back, local Dallas vibes. 🍒 PRICE: ~$22 + $5 tip (my beef taco salad only) 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. •••• Overall Rating: 8.5/10 - This is definitely a solid place to grab lunch or dinner! If you’re craving Tex Mex, add this to your list because they do it right. - The steak in my taco salad had SO much flavor. The salad was lowkey drowned in their jalapeno ranch making it not so healthy- however the ranch was actually SUPER spicy. I loved it!!!! I would get it again next time. - I had a little bit of my friend’s brunch fajitas that were half chicken and half jalapeno sausage and she loved it I also loved it as well! - Service was great. Vibes were great. They have a huge patio that does have misters for the hot days. Inside is not that big but is pretty cute. Parking was a breeze.

3 DESSERT 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: make sure you Google “Mei Wei Taiwan Cuisine” when you look for this place because it’s a franchise inside of this business. It’s behind 99 Ranch and next door to Volcano Hot Pot. They’re know for their traditional Taiwanese desserts! 🍒 THE VIBE: the friendliest service ever!! Everyone is so incredibly nice and helpful. 🍒 PRICE: ~$10 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. •••• Overall Rating: 9/10 - Don’t let the looks scare you if you’re not familiar with Asian desserts- it’s just basically a big bowl of different kinds of boba to dumb it down. - I would compare this to how açaí bowls are smoothies in a bowl- this is literally like how this Taiwanese dessert is to a boba milk tea. - It’s a traditional Taiwanese dessert that has shaved ice with grass/herbal jelly as the base and grass/herbal jelly on top along with your desired toppings. It’s such a good dessert! - If you know Meet Fresh, this place is very similar but different in its own way. I will say the ice at Meet Fresh is fluffier and more snowlike but this is more like traditional American shaved ice texture. - They gave us a free bowl of the coconut milk with more tapioca toppings which was so sweet. The server told us that it makes the grass jelly ice more milkier and sweeter and he was right! - Customer service is out of this world- will be coming back!

A friend recommended this spot to me and she was absolutely right 🫶🏾✨ Plomo Quesadillas Bar is a new quesadilla bar in Dallas that is the perfect spot for a quick, quality bite! They’re open late every day and stay open until 4am on the weekends! 🌙 I’m always looking for solid spots that are quick, but still have good food, and this is one of them! The quesadillas are fresh, the service is great, and they have a parking lot so it’s easy to stop by! 🔥 Hands down, I recommend the CHORIZO MAC AND CHEESE and the QUESO! For quesadillas, there’s only two rules: add Doritos and ask them to make it dirty! Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with any option! 🌮

🔥 Just got my spice fix at AJ's Hot Chicken, and let me tell you—it was worth every bite! 😋 Their sliders at a heat level of three had the perfect kick, just enough to make you sweat but keep you coming back for more. 🌶️ The friendly service made the experience even better, and I couldn't resist trying their mozzarella sticks and wings—both spicy, crispy, and oh-so-good! If you're in the mood for a flavorful adventure, this spot has got you covered. 🍗✨

✨🍣 ALL YOU CAN EAT KOREAN BBQ, SUSHI AND SHABU EXPERIENCE We were driving around Carrollton a few weeks ago and wanted to try somewhere new so we hit up Bros Korean BBQ & Sushi. Here are a few things you should know before you go! The prices are really good for the amount of food you get. First of all, if you’re not a huge eater this might not be the spot for you - but if you can put back some food then go hungry and have yourself a feast. At lunch, Korean BBQ is $25, dinner is $39. If you want to add on unlimited sushi it’s just $10 more, then if you want to add on shabu too, it’s just $5 more. If you’re new to Korean BBQ (or hot pot) the servers there are really helpful, just let them know it’s your first time and they’ll walk you through everything you need to know. We only did the Korean BBQ and sushi this time, but if you’ve been for hot pot too, let us know how it is and if we should go back! Add it to the Love List ✨💕

Breakfast sandwich, Alamo Club This is a righteous sandwich. You can tell because it comes with a hash brown inside, but really, everything about it is exactly what it should be: the buttered bun, the well-done egg, the jalapeño condiment. It’s the model of a breakfast sandwich. I like it so much, I ate it outdoors.

Our adventure at Jungle Burger was unforgettable! 🍔✨ The Double Kahuna Burger, loaded with double patties and beef bacon, was a flavor explosion! The Mushroom Cheese Burger was equally delightful. 🌟 We couldn’t get enough of their giant onion rings, crispy curly fries, and perfectly seasoned regular fries. 🥤🍟 The Chicago Dog and hot dog were tasty, though the buns were a little off. But good news! They were just out of the regular buns, so next time, they’ll be spot on! The fresh milkshakes? Absolutely delicious and filling. 🥤😍 Swing by Jungle Burger for an 8/10 experience! It’s a family-friendly spot with live sports on TV. 🏀🏈 Don’t miss out!

HOUNDSTOOTH COFFEE || DALLAS 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: easy grab and go coffee place with another room attached to the other side for studying and WFH. Also, there’s a fairly large outdoor seating area with a great view I didn’t get to take a picture of bc ppl were sitting there. 🍒 THE VIBE: small and intimate, nature vibes 🍒 PRICE: $13 (kinda pricey I think bc location!) 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. •••• Overall Rating: 8/10 - A solid place to grab a quick cup of joe! The cappuccino I had was at the perfect temperature and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I have no bad things to say about the coffee it was perfect sweetness and perfectly brewed. - Definitely would consider this Houndstooth a grab and go situation. There’s a great outdoor seating area to sit and chat in nice weather. There is a small space to work from home/study but it closes an hour before the actual closing time just FYI. - The only complaint I had was that was the worst cookie I’ve ever had 😂 I love mint chocolate anything but omg it was so hard and not chocolate-y at all. I tried to dip it in the coffee to soften it up but the flavor was just not giving. Also, I was annoyed because I didn’t realize it was a $4 cookie until I already paid?! Like how are yall gonna charge $4 for a wack cookie 😭
