The buzzy restaurants we’re most excited about
Dallas-Fort Worth is full of new and exciting restaurants to visit right now, and the Dallas Morning News food team has its favorites. From French food in Fort Worth to a North Texas Portillo’s takeover, there’s something for everyone and every mood. Reporter Imelda Garcia also shares why Austin restaurant El Naranjo is worth the trip — for authentic Oaxacan dishes and a sweet behind-the-scenes family story. And if you need some new words to zhuzh up your food vocabulary, the team discusses Merriam-Webster’s newest additions like cheffy, stage, torta and smashburger.
