Mia's Tex-Mex
A family Tex-Mex institution founded in 1981, famous for its brisket tacos with jus and a Dallas signature dish.
Founded in 1981 by Butch Enriquez and his wife, the restaurant is now run by their daughter Mia. In 2020 it moved to a striking bright yellow building on Lemmon Avenue. The signature Butch's Original Brisket Taco is filled with tender brisket, Monterey Jack cheese, grilled onions and poblano chili strips, served with rice, beans and a small cup of brisket jus. In its early years it was available only on Wednesdays, in limited quantities. Brisket nachos and brisket burritos are also on the menu. The Dallas Observer lists it as a must-try Tex-Mex spot. The atmosphere is family-friendly, and mealtimes often mean a wait. Expect about US$20–35 per person. It is located in the Oak Lawn neighborhood.
