Tupinamba?
thats it...any good?
decent... very similar to El Fenix
imho, aggie or not, that food is really bad
it's a slight step above el fenix with better margaritas
Tupi tacos are great. They're like Jack in the Box but better.
Nothing wrong with El Fenix...or Tupy's either.
You gotta try Carros on BlueBonnet Circle in Fort Worth. The chips and salsa are awesome.
Tupinambas
but, IMO, there are MANY places with better food.
I'd take Luna De Noche, Uncle Julios, Pappasitos, and El Chapparito's over Tupis

Tupinamba's is good....... not the absolute greatest Tex-Mex, but good......... at one time, there were about three choices for Mexican food in Dallas-- El Fenix, El Chico and Tupinamba..... Eddie Dominguez is the founder and owner. He played college basketball for Shelby Metcalf. He attended Shelby's funeral a couple of weeks ago.........
There is an inverse relationship between the cost of the decor and the quality of the Mexican food.
Javier's rejects that inverse relationship...
"Mexican Food" implies Tex-Mex. Javier's is Mex-Mex and out of the equation.
Monica's Aca y Alla
El Fenix is dog crap

Monica's is good stuff from a Tranny.
I'll take El Fenix, you can have that Pappacitos Velveeta-filled cheese enchilada crap.
Oh dear, Macks knows Monica's secret.
I loved Tupi's when it was on Northwest Highway. Eddie's Dad was the founder and it was a great restaurant in a really nice building which is no longer there. Haven't been since Eddie moved it to North Dallas.

The new location is nice too....... give it a try!
I remember the old Northwest Highway location....... on Fridy nights, the line was out the door. Minimum one hour waits!

I might have to hit Tupy's for noon chow today.
I miss that place Chick.
The last time we ate there was after the Dallas/Phillie game with Tony Franklin and his folks, it was his first year playing for the Eagles.
Mr. O'dwyer always had our company Cristmas parties there which were always a blast.
I'll have to try it in the north Dallas location.

I may go to Monicas/Ron's on Thursday for enchillada night

Where on Northwest Highway and how long ago was it there? I seem to remember it being at the southwest corner of Midway and 635 about 10-15 years ago, then it opened up where it is now. Probably before my time I guess.
I'm older than dirt. Tupinamba actually started in Oak Cliff. We had Spanish Club banquets there when I was in high school. I've followed them everywhere they have moved.
However, my new favorite Mexican restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall place on Arapaho in Richardson -- Holy Frijoles. Outstanding home cooked meals. Atmosphere isn't the greatest, but the food is definitely worth it.

probably was "before your time" it was on Northwest highway until the early to mid 80's I think. Eddie took over after his Dad died, if I remember right and moved the restaurant to the North Dallas location.

Mmmmmm! enchilada night at Monica's. Another great place in Deep Ellum is Pepe & Mitos on Elm Street. Great food. If you haven't try it sometime.

I'll give that place a try sometime soon.
Or you can take me, your treat.

You're on, pick a time and I'll meet you there.
I haven't been there in awhile but we went there all the time when our office was at Fair Park.

Matt's is the best. Not aggie owned though
Mia's Tex-Mex on Lemmon is fantastic. Very-South Texas-ish.
Monica's is not mexican, but it is good.
I like Casa Navarro off of Marsh and Forest and there are a couple of restaurants off of Josey near Valley View lane that are really good. One place just serves tacos and the other is your typical mexican restaurant.
[edit: Oh and the restaurant off of Josey is called Coquitas.]

El Norte on Parker in Plano. Best food with awesome prices.
Holy Frijoles on Arapaho has become one of my new favorites....plus it's like 3 minutes from my house
I don't understand the infatuation with El Fenix. I'm so glad I grew up in West Texas and even though I can't get it anymore, I was spoiled by really good Mexican food.
