Read an article today about Lincoln Property buying the Lakewood Shopping Center. It mentioned that Matt's is indeed closing for a MiCo early next year. Did some digging and found a D magazine article from late April. Oh well. Place will look better but the food definitely won't be that much of an upgrade.

Yeah, I hope matt's moves somewhere close. They have great cheese enchiladas.

Mextopia on Greenville has been our new favorite the past year. Best salsa in Dallas, great Pozole, nachos, tacos. Always fresh ingredients prepared well. Ricardo is a good dude as well.

Where on Greenville?

I think it's in that strip where Teppo and Zubar are. Funny I can't be sure about that since I drive past it twice a day. It opened about a year ago by Ricardo Avila after he and Mama Avila had that bitter break-up over Avila's on Maple.

Been there a couple of times and it's pretty good food, much like Avila's. But don't be fooled by that fake endorsement from Guy Fieri on the menu, he's never been to Mextopia best I can tell.

I've always liked the concept of Matt's more than the execution. Great location and atmosphere but subpar food IMO.

It is across the street from where the Arcadia theater use to be before it burned down...about a block south of Belmont. They sell Christmas trees there now every fall on the empty lot where the theater use to be.

That was pretty sad when Arcadia burned down, though I haven't frequented that area in years. Does Arcardia Bar across the street still exist?

by **jtstang** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:13 pm

Nope, the plan for that area where the Arcadia used to be is to make it into some kind of food truck park with picnic tables. They've already started work on widening the street down there.

That's a very cool idea. Love it.
