    Dallas' Harwood District adds new restaurant featuring Tex-Mex and tequila

    The Harwood District near downtown Dallas welcomes yet another new restaurant, this time Tex-Mex. Called Tequila Social, it's the latest concept from Harwood Hospitality Group, and will open in the 3100 McKinnon building on the ground floor at 3100 McKinnon St, #G100.

    According to a release, it'll open this spring. Not open yet. Coming soon.

    The concept is a "casual, West-Texas inspired dining experience" featuring:

    • Tex-Mex
    • extensive margarita and frozen drinks program
    • large patio on the Katy Trail

    They'll be open for lunch, dinner, and brunch. Smash hit.

    The Harwood Hospitality Group team behind it includes culinary VP Taylor Kearney, VP of development Stephan Schneider, and hospitality VP Warren Richards, who've taken their inspiration from Big Bend and the laid-back towns of West Texas.

    In a statement, Richards says, “Tequila Social provides an energetic environment, perfect for socializing with friends after work, a day out with the whole family, a lively weekend brunch, or a fun date night. The beverage program showcases agave through a variety of margaritas & frozen cocktails, while a selection of easy drinking beers will provide relief even on the hottest summer day."

    Kearney says his menu "will honor Tex-Mex classics such as charred skirt steak fajitas, Baja fish tacos and queso while taking a light-hearted approach with dishes like buffalo chicken flautas and a decadent bone-in burrito."

    It's a big 10,000-square-foot space with seating for 355 and that includes a spacious dog-friendly patio with 200-plus seats, not to mention 60-inch big screen TVs, fire pits, social games, and live entertainment. The restaurant will be accessible from the building's parking garage but is also directly accessible from the Katy Trail, so very pedestrian-friendly.

    This is Harwood's 13th restaurant concept, joining a portfolio that includes Dolce Riviera, Elephant East, Happiest Hour, Harwood Arms, Magnolias: Sous Le Pont, Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens, Mercat Bistro, Poco Fiasco, Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar, Te Deseo, The Grove at Harwood, and the recently opened market Fig & Favor. They're also developing a 22-story boutique hotel, Hȏtel Swexan.

    it's brunch time

    3 Dallas eateries make OpenTable list of top brunch spots in U.S.

    Brunch is a big topic in Dallas and OpenTable has some interesting ideas about who does it best. The online reservation site has a new list of the "Top 100 Brunch Restaurants" for 2025, and three Dallas eateries make the list: Al Biernat's Oak Lawn, Cafe Pacific, and Kenny's Wood Fired Grill.

    These three Dallas choices are all quite elegant, adept at turning a casual meal into something more posh. But … brunch?

    Released annually in preparation for Mother's Day, the list is determined using over 10 million verified diner reviews and dining metrics (such as reservation demand). Restaurants are not ranked, but arranged in alphabetical order by their state and name.

    Al Biernat's is an OpenTable favorite. The steakhouse made it on OpenTable's inaugural Icons list in 2024. The restaurant offers a traditional weekend brunch service with classic staples like a brioche French toast, chicken and waffles, and an "American Breakfast" consisting of all the usual breakfast items (eggs, potatoes, gravy, toast, and a choice of sausage or bacon).

    "Packed since it opened in 1998, restaurateur Al Biernat’s Oak Lawn chophouse has made a name for itself for world-class steak, exceptional seafood, and a 700-bottle wine list — one of the city’s largest," OpenTable's editors wrote in the restaurant's profile. "Whether at the lively bar complete with a domed ceiling and glass art-inspired painting or in the opulent dining room outfitted with rich leather booths, every meal here feels like a special occasion."

    Cafe Pacific is a Highland Park favorite probably better known for its lunch. The restaurant serves brunch on Sundays only, offering upscale dishes like a crab cake or Rosewood Texas Wagyu benedict, Nova Scotia lobster omelet, and Tex-Mex favorites like huevos rancheros and chorizo migas. They also feature a premium caviar service during brunch, though it costs hundreds of dollars.

    Kenny's Wood Fired Grill is described as a "beloved Dallas destination" that combines comfort food with an upscale and sophisticated atmosphere, which shines through its weekend brunch service. In addition to classic brunch meals like chicken and waffles, French toast, and egg Benedicts, Kenny's also serves a hearty bacon and egg burger and chicken fried steak and eggs topped with cream gravy and smoked bacon.

    Only two other restaurants in Texas made the list, both located in Austin: Aba and Perla's Seafood and Oyster Bar.
