Lanny's Alta Cocina Mexicana
Address: 3405 West 7th Street, Fort Worth, TX 76107
Classic techniques and a formal understanding of haute cuisine shape the way Executive Chef Lanny P. Lancarte II approaches his Mexican-inspired menu. Growing up in the kitchen of Joe T. Garcia, his great grandfather, Lancarte translates the meaning of the meal in Mexico through a menu that offers possibilities like the Cream of Oaxacan Pasilla Soup, Mole Braised Lamb Shank, and Arroz con Leche to finish. Lancarte compliments his dishes with an Old World/New World wine list that exposes patrons to selections usually reserved for the cellar. While Lancarte continues his work learning and experiencing Mexican cuisine, the fruits of his labor make for seriously enjoyable dining.

Cafe San Miguel
Address: 1907 North Henderson Avenue, Dallas, TX 75206
Providing a vibrant space adorned with eclectic handmade accessories imported directly from San Miguel de Allende, Café San Miguel pays tribute to authentic Mexican cuisine with a menu that highlights otherwise hard to find dishes. Mole, a time consuming and complicated sauce, is featured prominently in dishes, while the Enfrijoladas de Cangrejo, consisting of home-made corn tortillas bathed in a black bean and tomato puree, and layered with jumbo lump crab, is an education in delectable indigenous flavors. Fine cocktails and margaritas are also presented, and Antigua Cruz Tequila is featured as a must-try.
