On this Dallas food tour, we’ll experience West Village restaurants during happy hour — the best time to go!
With our unique pay-as-you-go model, you get bigger portions for the price, and drinks are discounted for a satisfying but inexpensive two-hour food crawl. Just bring $40 in cash to hand to your guide at the start of the tour, and they’ll take care of the rest. Paying in cash guarantees faster service and larger portions so you get more for your money.
We’ll start at The Rustic. This laid-back kitchen and bar specializes in locally sourced drinks and food. Try their hearty Cactus Fries and Wild Boar meatballs, but don’t fill up because this is just your first stop.
Next up, Grimaldi’s Pizza offers authentic coal fired New York style pizza made with NYC water!
At Baboush, indulge in a delicious Mediterranean mezze platter with hummus, falafel and baba ganoush!
Then end with something sweet at Pop Factory for some handmade, all natural Mexican-style paletas! You’ll learn how these fruit bars are different from the run-of-the-mill popsicles you and I grew up with. If you’re stumped on which flavor to choose, your guide can advise. If you’re feeling frisky, we definitely recommend one that’s liquor-infused. After all, it’s happy hour!
