Cadillac Bar

1800 N Market St, Dallas  75202 • 214-999-0662
Distance: ~0.41 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. If authentic Mexican is what you're after, then you need to take a trip to the Cadillac Bar. This popular restaurant features traditional decor and its ambiance is full-fledged FIESTA! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere (complete with live music) is energetic. Locals favor the Cadillac for its renowned margaritas. Classics like Cabrito al Pastor (roasted young goat) and Camarones Enbrochette (stuffed shrimp) are among the many tasty menu items. To complete your bona fide Mexican meal, the Tres Leches dessert (pound cake soaked in three types of milk and whipped cream, then topped with cinnamon and vanilla) is an absolute must.

Fresh salsas and ingredients fill the menu, a welcome change from the grease and cheese you'll find at some lesser venues.
