    It's time for fresh air and fresh eats, especially at Dallas' West Village. A whole slew of new restaurants are either open now or coming soon, but it's never too early to start planning your meals.

     

    Here are four brand-new tasty spots to check out this spring:

     

     Honest Taco
    It's hard to improve on tacos, but this organic eatery's fresh take on street tacos, bowls, breakfast, and barcraft is as appetizing as it is accommodating. The facility is completely gluten, nut, and soy-free, and has a variety of dairy-free, egg-free, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, and keto options right on the menu.

     

     Hugo's Invitados
    Opening later this spring, Hugo's Invitados will bring "Mexican-influenced, guest-inspired" cuisine and cocktails to West Village. This second, flagship location of the "always fresh, never fried" restaurant will invite guests to explore Chef Natalio's expertly crafted Latin menu, which includes shared plates like red snapper ceviche and Australian lamb meatballs, mains such as wagyu carne asada and pan-seared diver scallops, and organic cocktails including the cucumber-serrano and grilled pineapple margaritas.

     

     Mendocino Farms
    Founded in Southern California in 2005 by husband-and-wife team Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen, Mendocino Farms has grown to 44 locations and counting in California and Texas. Mendo takes guests on a culinary adventure with its diverse menu of chef-driven, seasonal sandwiches and salads made from fresh, high-quality ingredients. Want to enjoy a free entree when Mendo opens this summer? Sign up for a My Mendo account and select DFW-WestVillage as your favorite store, and the reward will be added to your account on grand opening day.

     

     Van Leeuwen
    This Brooklyn-based, cult-favorite ice cream shop is opening its first Dallas location in May, with more than 30 flavors of dairy and vegan made-from-scratch ice cream. They use only fresh milk and cream, cane sugar, egg yolks, and the finest flavors ingredients from small producers locally and around the world. The vegan/nondairy selection is made from a variety of milks including coconut, cashew, and oats.

    Buzzy burger joint with Michelin ties to open in Uptown Dallas

    An ultra-buzzy burger joint is opening in Uptown Dallas: Called NADC Burger, it's a chef-driven cheeseburger concept serving Wagyu burgers that will open at 2908 McKinney Ave., in the former Playground Bar, which closed in 2024.

    According to a spokesperson, it'll open in early August.

    NADC — which stands for "Not a Damn Chance" — is a partnership between chef Phillip Frankland Lee (co-founder of Sushi by Scratch Restaurants and Pasta Bar) and professional skateboarder and Fort Worth entrepreneur Neen Williams.

    United by a love of food and skateboarding, the two set out to create the kind of burger they couldn’t find — one that felt indulgent yet familiar. The result was “the ultimate backyard burger,” featuring two 6-ounce Wagyu patties, American cheese, grilled onions smashed into the beef, secret sauce, pickles, and pickled jalapeños.

    They keep the menu simple:

    • Double patty cheeseburger with Wagyu beef, American cheese, sauce, onion, pickle, and seasoning by Williams' NADC spice company, for $16
    • Fries double-fried in beef tallow, either plain or in loaded "Beast Mode" with cheese, chopped pickles, jalapeños, sauce, and seasoning

    There are also brown butter chocolate chip cookies. Every detail — from the seasoning to the burger-to-bun ratio — is meticulously considered.

    Lee has previously earned Michelin stars for Pasta | Bar in Encino, California, and Sushi by Scratch in Montecito, California. (There's also a Sushi by Scratch at The Adolphus in downtown Dallas.)

    NADC started in Austin in 2022, and has since expanded in Austin, Denver, Chicago, Nashville (inside Jelly Roll's Goodnight Nashville bar), and Fort Worth, which opened in January 2025 (and which promptly won Best Burger at the Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival in April 2025).

    Some NADC locations are inside other venues such as comedy clubs, including Fort Worth.

    But Uptown Dallas will be a first-of-its-kind model, says Scratch Restaurants Group CEO Gavin Humes.

    "This is a standalone NADC Burger restaurant," Humes says. "We’re fully transforming it into our own concept. There will be a full bar onsite to support our new cocktail offerings, but it’s 100 percent a dedicated NADC space."

    Uptown will also be their first location to stand two stories tall, and will feature counter service, a full bar serving specialty NADC cocktails, and a casual hangout area with indoor and outdoor seating.

    "Uptown felt like the right move — it's a vibrant neighborhood that’s surprisingly underserved when it comes to fast-casual food done at a high level," Humes says. "From the start, Dallas was a priority market. It’s one of the biggest food cities in the country and a natural fit for the energy and flavor of NADC."
