    Food Award Season

    Unexpected Dallas restaurant makes semifinals in James Beard Awards 2014

    A surprise restaurant in Dallas made the cut as a semifinalist for the 2014 James Beard Awards, announced by the James Beard Foundation on February 19. The restaurant: Casa Rubia, which earned a spot in the Best New Restaurant category.

    Casa Rubia is the "modern tapas" spot at the Trinity Groves complex from Jonn Baudoin and Omar Flores, owner and chef at Driftwood in Oak Cliff.

    Other Dallas semifinalists were more predictable. Outstanding Chef: Southwest nominees include Matt McCallister of FT33, David Uygur of Lucia and John Tesar of Spoon. Abacus and Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek are semifinalists for Outstanding Service. Cafe on the Green at Four Seasons Resort & Club has been recognized for Outstanding Wine Program.

    Nabbing a semifinalist slot doesn't guarantee you'll end up a finalist; just ask previous semifinalists such as Teiichi Sakurai and Nick Badovinus. The list of semifinalists is long, but that's not the case for the finalist list — five in each category — which will be announced on March 18 in Chicago.

    But how about that Casa Rubia, which must be feeling a tingle all over this week, as it earned the No. 2 slot on Texas Monthly's list of the best new restaurants in Texas, issued on February 18.

    Casa Rubia is a semifinalist in the Best New Restaurant category of the James Beard Awards.

    Fajita News

    Adios Fajitas in Park Cities Dallas will deliver fajitas & margaritas

    A fajita-obsessed restaurant is coming to Dallas: Called Adios Fajitas, it'll open across from Inwood Village, in a former Wingstop at 5535 Lovers Ln. #B. According to co-owner Richard Torres, it’ll open in September.

    The concept: fajitas to go, either pickup or delivery, with a focus on fine-dining level food, but in a convenient quick service setting.

    "We specialize in prime-grade beef, chicken, and veggie fajitas, bringing restaurant-quality Tex-Mex to your doorstep with zero hassle," Torres says.

    Torres also works for produce distributor Chefs' Produce. His business partner is Nick Gambill, a restaurateur with fast-casual restaurant experience. They launched the concept in 2023 with a first location in Rockwall, where they live.

    "This second location helps us reach more fans with the same top-tier fajitas,“ Torres says. "We hand-deliver everything, which is important to us. We want to make sure we can control the integrity of our items. Our slogan is, 'our meat ain’t cheap,' so we want to make sure you’re getting what you paid for."

    The new location does have a small counter area for some lunch seating, but it's mainly to-go. Delivery is done in-house with the restaurant's custom pink and blue vans.

    Fajitas come in four options: Wagyu beef, chicken, and shrimp. An order comes with refried beans, Mexican rice, guacamole, tortillas, chips, & salsa. An order for two people ranges from $34 to $45.

    Wagyu is twist on the skirt steak traditionally used in fajitas, but it's part of their approach to use top-of-the-line ingredients like Gulf Coast shrimp, grilled over an open flame. Torres' connection with Chefs' Produce guarantees their produce is fresh.

    In addition to fajitas, they serve tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and salads, plus a few non-Mex items like chicken tenders and waffle fries.

    The icing on the cake is that they also offer margaritas to go, on the rocks or frozen in flavors such as lime, watermelon, and mango — by the pint, half gallon, or gallon, as well as beer, wine, palomas, and mojitos.

    "We’re pairing that sizzle with the best frozen and rocks margaritas in town, made with premium, additive-free tequila," Torres says.
