Crazy King Burrito brings authentic Cozumel-style burritos to Dallas

Crazy King Burrito

A restaurant with roots in Mexico is making its Dallas debut. Called Crazy King Burrito, it's a concept founded in Cozumel that's now open at 13675 Noel Rd. #160, in a new center near Galleria Dallas, where it's serving Mexican food with burritos as the centerpiece.

The concept was founded on the island of Cozumel in 2012 by Jaime and Haidee Gonzalez, using family recipes, with a slogan "Burritos Done Right." The original in Cozumel is still open along with locations in Michigan, Georgia, Alabama, and Lewisville, Texas at 4820 SH-121 #100.

The menu is simple, with burritos, sides, and beverages. However, the burrito section is teeming with 14 options including:

Crispy Cali, with breaded chicken, beans, rice, and avocado. This one's the best-seller.
Crazy King, with beans, rice, cheese, asada, shrimp, garlic, onion, chipotle sauce, lettuce, and sour cream. A surf & turf.
Bean & Cheese, with refried black beans and a nice slaw. Simple but good.
Molida al Chipotle, with ground beef, rice, cheese, chipotle sauce, lettuce, and sour cream. Hearty.
Loco Veggie, with beans, rice, cheese, garlic, zucchini, onion, mushroom, tomato, avocado, lettuce, and sour cream. So veggie.

There are also three breakfast-y options with eggs: spicy chorizo sausage, potatoes, & egg; ham & egg; and veggies with egg.

Sides include queso, bean dip, and guacamole, and there are two desserts: churros and a tempting offering called Mexican ice box cake, described as a cool, creamy no-bake treat with layers of sweet filling.

There is also a wide variety of Mexican beverages including Jamaica, a hibiscus-flavored iced tea, and horchata, the creamy cinnamon rice milk drink.

The opening is coming via franchise owner Jon Carter Ferguson, who says in a statement that their team is excited to offer authentic Mexican recipes to the community.

"Our menu answers that breakfast, lunch, or dinner question in a way that’s not only quick and affordable but also super healthy," Ferguson says. "We make everything fresh every day instead of warming up meals that have been shipped frozen from miles away." Ohhh burn.

A longtime Dallas restaurant is closing in 2026: Sevy's Grill, which has been open at 8201 Preston Rd. near Preston Center for nearly 30 years, will close on June 27, 2026.

According to a release from the owners, they're closing due to what appears to be an increase in rent.

"After months of negotiations, we were not able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement for our fourth 10-year lease," the post said.

The restaurant is located in Preston Sherry Plaza, which was acquired in September 2025 by Austin-based Endeavor Real Estate. Somebody gotta foot the bill.

Sevy's says they are looking at other locations.

"Our focus now is to finish these next 6+ months taking care of our guests and staff at the same caring level we built our brand on: Warm, professional service, consistently good food and a comfortable ambiance where the guest is always first," the post says. "First on our list of priorities is taking care of our guests in December and all the wonderful celebrations of family, friends and business groups. We do still have some availability for reservations, including our last New Years Eve at Preston Sherry. Come celebrate with us as the exciting anticipation of a new year for all of us."

"Our second priority will be the search for a new location to continue doing what we love," they said. "We are already reviewing possible sites and will keep everyone updated regularly."

Owned by chef Jim "Sevy" Severson and his wife Amy Severson, the restaurant has long been a neighborhood favorite with a lively bar scene, and was nominated in CultureMap's 2018 Tastemaker Awards for Best Neighborhood Restaurant. They were a frequent choice for winemaker events and are also known for the longevity of their staff.

"Eight team members have been with us all 29+ years, with an average tenure in the kitchen of 15+ years and a Management team that you all know," their post said. "Come support our staff as we celebrate the next 6+ months.Thank you again for your support through all the normal challenges of running a restaurant as well as economic downturns, market bubbles, Y2K, and of course the COVID era. As I tell my family and friends to “enjoy the ride in life”, wow, what an amazing ride it has been for us! And as always, Sevy’s Grill is here for you."
