There are all kinds of fun adventures to be had in Dallas but I’m always partial to eating in some of our great restaurants. This week’s restaurant review is concentrated in the Deep Ellum area. When I worked at Dallas Public Library we loved to go to Deep Ellum to eat because it cost only $0.50 to park. What a bargain!

12-27 Note: I just found out that the Deep Ellum area no longer charges for parking during the lunch hour. That really is a bargain.

One of my fav’s is Omega’s - 2713 Commerce Street, 214-744-6842. This small, family run TexMex restaurant is on the north side of Deep Ellum. They actually put spices in their food. This isn’t one of those chain restaurants. I always order the fajitas but they have some other delicious dishes. If they are still operating like they did at the old location, they won’t bring you a check; you pay at the counter and just tell them what you ordered.

The Angry Dog - 2726 Commerce St, (214) 741-4406, www.angrydog.com. Great place if you like hot dogs. And the burgers are pretty yummy too - some would say the best in Texas. It’s basically a bar with some tables and it’s crowded. There’s usually a line at lunch.
