The “hype is well deserved” at this “small” Bishop Arts District nook, where chef David Uygur is “in the kitchen working magic” to conjure “outstanding” Italian fare while his wife oversees the front of house; set in a historic building dating back to the ‘20s, it’s “hard to get into”, so “reservations are a must.” Well worth the price.

Considered among the best of Dallas' taco shacks, El Si Hay (pronounced L See Ay and translating to something akin to "Yes, we have it") is situated across the street from another Oak Cliff landmark, Bolsa. However, the latter establishment can't compete with the dedicated masses of El Si Hay fans. The lines are more often than not long, the wait longer, but the payoff, all agree, is worth it. El Si Hay can do no wrong in the eyes of its longtime customers. Don't arrive expecting to eat on the property, unless you want to dine in your car or on a parking lot behind the establishment.

It's pretty gutsy to open up a Midwestern-style barbecue joint in a city where Texas barbecue reigns king. But the trio of brothers behind Babb Brothers BBQ & Blues have managed to pull it off successfully by offering a perfect mix of succulent hickory-smoked meats and live music in a decidedly laid-back setting that includes picnic tables and a wall of guitars. The menu provides plenty of ways to indulge your inner carnivore: there's everything from pulled pork and jalapeno sausage to juicy brisket and stellar St. Louis pork ribs. Add in a side of tobacco onion straws, and definitely leave room for banana pudding, it's a real crowd-pleaser.
