    Tex-Mex chain from San Antonio expands to Dallas-Fort Worth market

    There's a fun new Tex-Mex concept coming to the Dallas-Fort Worth market: Called Las Palapas, it's a fast-casual chain based in San Antonio that will open its first North Texas location in Keller, taking over a former Dairy Queen at 455 Keller Pkwy. which closed in December 2019.

    According to a post from the city of Keller, the restaurant will open in the spring.

    Las Palapas was founded in 1981 by Ron Acosta, a native of Los Angeles who merged a California flair with South Texas traditional cuisine. The concept has since expanded to 13 locations in the San Antonio area.

    Their menu offers tacos, enchiladas, flautas, fajitas, burritos, and sopes — loosely comparable to Taco Cabana.

    Their signature dish is their "Macho Burrito," a hefty specimen stuffed with rice, beans, and choice of meat, covered with a savory sauce and melted cheese.

    California touches on the menu include a selection of stuffed avocados with fillings such as shrimp, charbroiled chicken, and veggies.

    They have a strong breakfast game with breakfast tacos such as bean & cheese or chorizo & potato, priced from $1.29 to $2.39, plus menudo on the weekends, which you can order in regular or "jumbo" size.

    People love them for their "1981 rollback pricing" feature, where they offer one item all day on Mondays and Wednesdays with rollback pricing from 1981.

    A spokesperson for the city of Keller said that "we hear this place is delicious and we're excited to be filling the DQ space with something new to the DFW market."

    Closure news

    Longtime Thai restaurant Bangkok on Dallas' Greenville Ave to close

    A longtime Asian restaurant on Dallas' Greenville Avenue is closing: Bangkok, which has been authentic Thai flavors and heartfelt hospitality at 4503 Greenville Ave. since 1993, will close its doors on June 30.

    According to a release, owners Joe and Sunny Pumphaung, who have run the restaurant together since Joe, who was a server, took ownership in 2005, are closing due to rising operational costs and a desire to spend more time with their aging parents.

    The couple, who married shortly after Joe took over the restaurant, have spent their lives building a restaurant rooted in family, culture, and community.

    “While this was not an easy decision, we know in our hearts that it’s time,” Sunny says in a statement. “We’re so proud of the memories and meals shared here. Bangkok has been our home, and we’re grateful to have shared it with so many.”

    Joe grew up in a family of restaurateurs in Thailand and studied culinary arts at the Royal Family’s cooking school, where he was trained not only in Thai cuisine but also in the art of fruit and vegetable carving and floral arrangement — elements that reflected the importance of presentation, beauty, and tradition in Thai culture.

    These values were brought to life at Bangkok at Greenville in every dish served and every guest interaction.

    At one point, they had locations in Addison, which has closed; and Richardson (which hosted a Thai-themed afternoon tea); Richardson is still open, but Joe and Sunny are no longer the owners.

    Over the years, Greenville Avenue became more than a dining destination—it became a second home for guests who returned time and time again to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, quiet weeknights, and special occasions.

    “Many of our staff have been with us for 20 to 30 years,” Joe says. “They’re not just employees—they’re family. And to our guests, you are family too. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives.”
