This story from the Washington Post about Priceline naming Dallas the most affordable travel destination mentions only one Oak Cliff spot, El Ranchito.
That Tex-Mex gem on West Jefferson actually ranks very high on my list of places to bring out-of-towners. It’s in the original Red Byran’s Smokehouse; it’s got a random Elvis fascination; and the food is not bad. Germans love it.
But it got us to thinkin’: What other spots must our out-of-town guests see? Yes, yes, there are all those places where a presidential assassin walked and slept and ate and got arrested. But besides that. What are the neighborhood places that give you a real Texas or Oak Cliff feeling?

Leslie Brenner reviewed Sushi Bayashi at Trinity Groves. The bar has a “tragic” design flaw, but she gave it two stars.
City of Ate reviewed Chino Chinatown and discovered that Mexican-fusion ramen tastes like pho.
