• Mexican / Southwestern • Oak Cliff / Bishop Arts

In 1983, after the success of La Calle Doce, Oscar and Laura Sanchez wanted to open another restaurant but they didn’t want to duplicate their previous success nor did they want to open just another Tex-Mex restaurant. Oscar wanted something that wasn’t found in Dallas, something that reminded him of home. Since both Oscar and Laura are from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon in Northern Mexico, they decided to open a restaurant that specialized in Comida Norteño (northern food) and Tex-Mex featuring dishes such as cabrito, mollejas, and asado de puerco. Today El Ranchito is known for it’s authentic Mexican food, freshly made tortillas and festive atmosphere where mariachis play daily. These elements – the food, the music and the friendly staff – have helped El Ranchito achieve it’s ultimate goal of creating an atmosphere where the customer feels as if they are back home in Monterrey.

• Contemporary Asian • Downtown

In 1852, Matthew Perry, father of the USA Steam Navy, was assigned a diplomatic mission by American President Millard Fillmore to open Japanese ports to the west trade. The Admiral sailed four steam ships from Norfolk, Virginia to Japan. Along that trip the salt water stained the metal ships black. At that time, the Japanese had never seen such machines and referred to them as the “black ships”. This is where we take our name. Perry didn’t just open up Japan but all of Asia. This fateful meeting of the East and West cultures plays out in our menu.

We made reservations through open table and arrived to ask questions regarding the menu and the two initial servers (that was crazy, we had 3) didn’t know how to answer. It was a bit disappointing and to be honest we were about to leave when our third waiter arrived and did an excellent job reviewing the off menu items and answering our questions. I had the chicken and waffles and it was excellent. Their bartender was superb! She was the reason we stayed to have brunch. Her french 75 was incredible. We had a side of the garlic potatoes which ok but they balanced the plate perfectly. Their coffee is not the best but hits the spot especially if you’re meeting to catch up with friends. Overall good job.
