    School may be out for spring break, but culinary classes are in session. This week, learn to make mezcal cocktails, chocolate bonbons, and Asian favorites. Chow down on vegan barbecue, and shop local at the first day of a favorite farmers market, too.

     

     Wednesday, March 11

     

     Mezcal 101 at Las Almas Rotas
    Head into the Spirits Room for a class exploring the history and production of mezcal. Participants will receive a flight of five mezcales made from five different agaves. Tickets are $30 and the class starts at 7 pm. Seating is extremely limited.

     

     Friday, March 13

     

     Handpainted Bonbon Making Class at Kate Weiser Chocolate
    Four teams will form to make unique Kate Weiser Chocolate bonbons (think basic skills like ganache making and piping). At the end of class, flavors will be shared to create a 35-piece box to take home. Bring a bottle of wine and make it a date night. Tickets are $100 and the class starts at 7 pm.

     

     Saturday, March 14

     

     White Rock Farmers Market Opening Day
    ​
    The 12th season of White Rock Farmers Market kicks off with favorite local producers. There'll be locally grown produce, meats, eggs, cheeses, honey, baked goods, artisan food, handcrafted goods, and more. All vendors must come from within 150 miles of Dallas, and the market takes place each Saturday from March 14 to December 19. The market will take place 8 am-1 pm in the parking lot of LakePointe Church, 9150 Garland Rd.

     

     March Cooking Class at Asian Mint Richardson
    Chef and owner Nikky Phinyawatana hosts a hands-on cooking class at which participants will learn to make larb mushroom and chicken basil. Recipes can be made gluten free and vegan, if needed. Chef encourages families to participate and kids 8 and older are welcome to attend. Tickets are $40 and the class starts at 10:30 am.

     

     Kegs & Eggs at Foxtrot Market Uptown
    Just a few days before St. Pat's Day, enjoy two free breakfast tacos and $2 Guinness beer pints. Did we mention the kegs are dyed green? This event is free and the promotion lasts from 10 am to noon.

     

     Sunday, March 15

     

     Tiferet Israel presents Dallas Kosher Chili Cook-Off
    The Kosher Chili Cook-off will feature chili tasting, music, kids' rides, and more. Partnered with The Texas Jewish Artists Association, the event will showcase an art show and sale, live music, vendors with items for sale, and a Kosher food court. Funds raised will benefit Jewish family Services Mental Health programs. The fun begins at 11 am at Tiferet Israel, and tickets are $6-$12; free for children 3 and under.

     

     Vegan Brews and BBQ
    Vegan soul food comes back to Dallas via Southern Fried Vegan. They'll serve up a loaded menu of Southern staples and sandwiches, including fried chickun, BBQ, mac n cheeze, Jambalaya, Cajun corn, beer-cheeze battered Beyond Burgers, and "totchos." The event takes place 5-10 pm at Pegasus City Brewery.

    New Dallas Tex-Mex Texano Cocina opens in former El Fenix space

    The name may change but the Tex-Mex goes on: A new concept called Texano Cocina has opened at 5622 Lemmon Ave., in the Lemmonwood Shopping Center, taking over the space that was most famously El Fenix, but has seen a series of Tex-Mex concepts open and close in recent years.

    The space was most recently occupied by Eddie's Cocina & Cantina, and prior to that was home to Tex-Mex restaurant Casa Rosa, which closed in 2024.

    Eddie's was from Eddie Cervantes whose previous restaurants include Primo's in Uptown, now closed, and E-Bar Tex Mex in East Dallas, now owned by Ernie Quilantan. Cervantes also owns Eddie's Tex-Mex Cocina at 2018 Greenville Ave., which he opened in 2021.

    The location at Lemmon and Inwood is adjacent to Park Cities, Preston Hollow, and the Medical District — all neighbors who desperately want a Tex-Mex nearby. El Fenix had been in that location for 60 years before it closed in 2020.

    A release states that Cervantes and his former partners have decided to part amicably, and describes Texano as a rebranding, boasting an updated vision while continuing to deliver the restaurant's signature flavors and hospitality.

    "We are incredibly grateful for Eddie's vision and contributions to establishing such a beloved spot on Lemmon Avenue," says managing partner Rick Castillo. "We wish him nothing but the very best in his future projects. As Texano Cocina, we are excited to build upon the strong foundation he helped create, introducing new recipes, fresh ideas and an enhanced experience that celebrates the vibrant culinary traditions of Texas and Mexico."

    That means a menu fusing Mexican and Texan flavors with a commitment to exceptional food, outstanding service, and a memorable dining experience.

    There are fajitas, chicken with mole, steak with onions, mushrooms, & peppers, guiso de res beef stew, chile relleno, and redfish, pan-seared or blackened. There's also a smashburger, a Mexican cheesesteak, and eight tacos with options such as carne asada, brisket, or shrimp.

    There are lunch specials including combo plates with rice and beans priced from $12-$14; and appetizers like ceviches, queso, nachos, and Texas torpedos, stuffed with chicken and cheese, then deep-fried, grilled, or wrapped in bacon.

    Guests can look forward to a new remodeled dining and bar area, along with a patio area for dining in the cooler months, and an expanded menu featuring more regional Texas-inspired dishes.
