PAVAROTT'S ITALIAN CAFE Dallas, TX
My God, I love this place. If you are hungrier than Ezra during lunch, do whatever it takes to come out here. For $4.95 you get more food than you can shake a stick at. The Chicken Pavarotti is Excellent, and receives my honorary 'CHIEF'S CHEAP CHOICE' for 1997. Try dining in and sitting down when you have the time. The chefs are truly blessed at Pavarotti's, and the prices will make you never want to leave. As for the atmosphere...well, we can't have everything, now, can we? The staff is cordial enough, and will happily grumble 'water!' when they remember that you need water. This will only add to the dining experience. Let me recap: cheap, great, carnosaur portions, strange atmosphere. Cheap, great, strange portions, carnosaur atmosphere. Great, cheap, strange, carnosaur atmospheres. Portions. Eat Cheap. chief.
Guadalajara Restrnt Dallas, TX
Cheap, great ambience since they put in the flourescent green lights in the window. Be prepared to speak spanish and bring plenty of your own beer. I recommend (as always) the carne asado burrito, one burrito will damn near be enough for your entire meal. My dining partners were all carnosaurs, so they give it a whopping eight out of five stars. They'll eat anything you put in front of them. And they'll drink a lot of beer while they're at it. Signing off, I am...Chief
Mia's Tex-Mex Restaurant Dallas, TX
It's nearly impossible to find bad Mexican Food in Texas. Mia's is no exception. Great food, good atmosphere. Interesting stories about Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson will cause you to partially lose your appetite, but if you get there during peak dinner hours, you'll have to wait a few minutes, and this will allow you to regain your appetite.
Chow Thai Addison Plano, TX
Since I eat here quite a bit, it's hard give an unbiased review. Suffice it to say that this is a truly unique dining experience. The food is extremely flavorful, the decor is pure California. If you like curry, order the panang and worship the chef. Also great is the Tom Kha mushroom soup, the Tum Yum, Gapow (Chili Mint), Curry With Green Beans, and Pad Thai. Basically it's all pretty good. Be sure to get a glass of Thai Iced tea or a Bombay Sapphire from the well-stocked bar.
VICTOR'S TAQUERIA Garland, TX
Well cats and kittens, I have to give this particular restaurant a '3' due to the fact that my dining partner and I were divided on opinions. He ordered the carnosaur special; lots of sausage and whole slabs o' bacon, and later complained of tummyache. I, on the other hand, ordered the fajita B'rito (excellent. I highly recommend it.) , chicken fajita tacos, several tamales, and chips/guac/hot sauce. As a general rule I like to give at least four stars to any establishment that serves HOT HOT salsa, and the salsa was heated, which I generally give Five to SIXTY stars for. Bottom line: Make the pligrimage to Garland to eat at Victor's. Authentic mexican doesn't get any finer. However, if you aren't in the mood for tummyache, avoid the carnosaur plate.
