Honestly Chilangos Tacos is not talked about enough.
Their location on Harry Hines has always been solid, and their grand opening in East Dallas is killing it!
Fresh tortillas, flavorful salsas, and yummy frozen margs.
Def on my top 3 tacos spots in Dallas.
I’m taking notes 📝

Last year my old boss offered me equity to open up a Fachini

in Houston.
I turned it down to become a partner of a concept that did not yet exist, but one I truly believed in.
Although there was no security, I went with my gut feeling.. as it has never failed me.

All the hard work and dedication in the last 10 years are truly paying off. What was once a dream is now my reality.

This was my boss’ first Rolex and also one of his first big boy purchases. This watch once meant the world to this man. It was gifted to me as sign of friendship. “You remind me so much of me, and I know you’re gonna go off and do your own thing soon and I can’t wait”

Exactly 2 years ago I achieved a dream I’ve had since the age of 13. Being put in such a high position at 22 is absolutely life changing. I’m 24 now and my vision is clearer than ever. Thank you to everyone who’s helped me through the beginning of my journey.
What’s next?

The furthest my dad saw me go in my career was me learning how to become a decent cook. At the time learning how to make naturally leavened sourdough. One of the last meals I cooked for him was soft scrambled eggs with my freshly baked bread.

2016: There was literally nothing in my wallet, just a lot of dreaming. During this time my dad was in his final weeks, my mom wasn’t working bc she had to take care of him. I had to grow up really fast and step it up for them. All the odds were against me. And here I am now.

Namo is literally the best sushi restaurant in the city. I’ve witness ppl who did not like sushi love this place. The craziest part about it all is this gem is owned by a 26 year old. Go check it out.
Thanks for making me crave it even more Rog 😣

Chilo is officially a server at Fachini 🥺 Incase y’all didn’t know not just anyone can become a server there, you have to really know food/wine/service.
Funny thing is he’s been knowing the menu better than all of them bc he’s always in the kitchen lmao. Ask for Chilo guys!!

I just wanted to say real quick..
El Carlos Elegante is one of the best restaurants in the city and THE BEST modern Mexican restaurant in the city.
From the food, to the service, to the ambiance. Exceptional. I’ve been 3 times already and I am still blown away.
Trust me.

Salt bae really opened up a restaurant in Dallas, as are so many other anticipated chefs/restauranteurs/restaurant groups opening up here as well. The competition is growing like a mf and most of us don’t realize that Dallas might just be the next big city to dine at soon.

He should have cooked the ground beef before the peppers to get a nice layer of fond. He also should have saved some pasta water to add later on to homogenize the pasta and the ragu. He needs to also stop using Kraft Parmesan and start using Parmigiano Reggiano. Dumb kid.

Be careful who tf you keep in your circle. Sometimes “friends” are bigger threats than enemies. Enemies you keep at a distance, friends learn your vulnerabilities, and they decide wether they want to take advantage on it or not. An enemy can’t turn on you, but a friend can.

You got me fucked up if you assume I’m pulling up to your business expecting to get hooked up. I don’t expect shit and I’m more than capable of paying full price to support the locals. I don’t need charity so do not expect that from me if you’re coming to “support” our business.
