There are many cities in our country with great restaurants, but if you ask me, Dallas is one of the greatest cities for food junkies like myself! Here are a few of the best restaurants in Dallas that will surely make your mouth water.

1. Meso Maya

Living in Texas, the majority of us crave Mexican food at least once a week. Meso Maya serves authentic Mexican food from the interior parts of Mexico. My favorite dish is the budin azteca which is like a Mexican lasagna. You can never go wrong with Meso Maya. The service is unbelievably outstanding and the food is mouth-watering goodness. With a 4.4 out of 5 rating on Google, Meso Maya never fails to impress me.

2. Nick and Sam's

Nick and Sam's is your place for steak and seafood. My family and I go to Nick and Sam's on very special occasions because this restaurant is that special. I have never had a steak that was as outstanding as the steak at Nick and Sam's. This steak melts in your mouth and is bursting with flavor. It is worth every penny.

3. Ming Place

Are you craving Chinese food on a daily basis? I know I do! Ming Place is one of the places that you can never go wrong with. Every dish is absolutely amazing with my favorite being the chicken fried rice. This fried rice is completely out of this world and full of flavor. The service is amazing and very quick! It is definitely worth a try today (or everyday...)

4. El Come Taco

This is the perfect taco stop. These type of tacos are your traditional street tacos. Oh, you're in the mood for quick Mexican food but not tacos? Not to worry! There are a variety of other dishes to choose from such as pambazos or quesadillas. It is the perfect place to get your traditional Mexican taco fix.

5. Belini's

Located in the great Uptown area, you can find some amazing and authentic Italian food. As soon as you walk in the door, you feel as if you are in Italy. The waiters and waitresses make you feel as if you are at home. It is the perfect place to find your savory pizza and creamy fettuccine alfredo. If you want to go to Italy without leaving Dallas, Belini's is the place to be!

6. Gonzales Restaurant

Being from San Antonio, I must say, I know what good Tex Mex food is. I have been a bit disappointed in Tex Mex food places in Dallas, but not Gonzalez Restaurant. Gonzalez Restaurant has amazing Tex-Mex food with their tortillas being the star of any meal. The tortillas are as thick as pancakes. Talk about amazing. You can never go wrong with Gonzalez Tex-Mex food!!

7. Twisted Root Burger Co.

Located in Deep Ellum, Twisted Root Burger Co. has the juiciest burgers around. The second you take a bite into the burger, I swear, your heart will melt. It is the best place to get that burger fix on Sunday night (or any night for that matter). You won't regret it.
