    Po' Boy News

    Sandwich shop with high-end po'boys to open in Dallas' Preston Center

    Po'boys from PoBoy Shop

    Kathy Tran

    A new shop specializing in po’boys is rolling into Dallas: Called The PoBoy Shop, it will open in Preston Center, in the former Yonkers Pizza space at 8421 Westchester Dr., with a target date of July 7.

    According to a release, the PoBoy Shop is from Shops Hospitality Group and Evan Meagher, owner of Highland Park neighborhood butcher shop, Evan’s Meat Market. The concept started as a lunch special at Evan’s and quickly became a fan-favorite.

    “There’s something powerful about taking what you grew up on and sharing it in a new way,” Meagher says in a statement. “Louisiana has such a deep history with the po’boy, and this is my way of bringing that heritage forward, updated with a little Texas edge and a lot of passion.”

    The menu offers po’boys, salads, and Southern sides.

    Po’boys include:

    • Fried Shrimp – with lettuce, tomato, onion, and Cajun mayo
    • Fried Bologna – with cheddar, tomato, yellow mustard
    • Chicken Cracklins – Fried chicken bites with onion, tomato, and Cajun mayo
    • Cauliflower Bang Bang – Fried cauliflower, coleslaw, and bang bang sauce
    • Debris – A nod to the po’boy that started it all — with roasted beef, red onion, and provolone

    There are also cold po’boy sandwiches featuring deli meat from Evan’s Meat Market including turkey, ham, all-beef bologna, salami, roast beef, and pastrami. There’s also a muffuletta with ham, bologna, salami, provolone, and house-made giardiniera with pickled carrots, cauliflower, onion, celery, and chopped olives, served on a 9-inch round loaf.

    What sets a po’boy apart is the bread. The PoBoy Shop will source French bread from Langlinais Baking Company in Lafayette, Louisiana.

    Sandwiches will come in half (4-inch) and whole (8-inch) sizes, with prices starting at $9 for a half Dirty Cajun with boudin, and topping out at $22 for a whole fried shrimp.

    Salads, or what they amusingly call "breadless po’boys," feature po’boy-style toppings — fried shrimp, cauliflower bang bang, and Muffuletta — over greens.

    Sides include Zapp's Potato Chips, potato salad, coleslaw, and Cajun curly fries served as-is or as “Make it Dirty Fries" by adding griddled boudin, pickled jalapeño, melted pepper jack, and Cajun mayo.

    The restaurant has partnered with Dallas-based Oak Cliff Beverage Works to bring small-batch sodas made with real Louisiana sugarcane to the table.

    Operating as a 1,200-square-foot facility, the interior pays homage to sister concept, Evan’s Meat Market, with touches like butcher block countertops and white subway tile, plus Louisiana-inspired wallpaper featuring playful nods to the region’s rich cultural heritage. An open kitchen will allow customers to see the sandwiches being made.

    Flexible seating options will include four indoor tables, four patio tables, and take-out service.

    They'll open with limited soft opening hours from 10:30 am-3 pm through July 13, then be open daily from 10:30 -8:30 pm.

    Tex-Mex News

    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.
