We went with Torchys, it was awesome. We got in later than expected so was kinda rushing to eat and get to hotel. Thanks everyone for the advice. I just went with tacos, again, they were great.

In case the Dallas people don't reply today, they suggested HG Sply and Mia's to me recently. I don't know how close to SMU they are.

Kuby's German restaurant. Snider Plaza. Something different, but you mentioned nothing was off the table.

Javier's is not far for fancy Mexican that is probably over priced.

The Knox Henderson area is close and fireside pies is good for pizza and awesome salads. The Porch is also there. Lots of decent choices off Knox Henderson.

Pecan Lodge bbq in deep ellum

There will be others who chime in with good suggestions.

I grew up right there. Just drive down Mockingbird to Mi Cocina in Highland Park Villiage. Not great, not terrible. Girls like it. I eat there whenever I'm back in town. Couple minute drive.

Snider Plaza is right down Hillcrest. Has Peggy Sue BBQ, Banditos Mexican, Cisco Grill, and others. None are bad.

Torchy's is really close to the hotel on SMU Blvd. There are several bars and restaurants along that strip. Torchy's would be casual but really good. They have a full bar there too. Twisted Root Burgers is on SMU Blvd. and is really good. You could go to Barley House (young crowd) or Milo's (dive bar) for a drink after. Really close to the hotel and walking distance is Snider Plaza which has lots of restaurants. Peggy Sues for bbq or Half Shales for sea food. There are some other places over there but I haven't been to those.

Someone mentioned Mias and its great. It will be a crowded cluster frick and the waiting area is the size of a closet....so be prepared. Javiers is close but is over priced avg. mexi full of pretentious see & be seen types. E-Bar is my goto mexican right now and its pretty close.

On lower Greenville avenue there are a lot of places. HG Supply gets hype but again, avg IMO. La Palapas is a good sea food mexican place on lower greenville. One of the best sushi places in Dallas is on lower greenville called Teppo. Blind Butcher is another good place....house made sausages and full bar with craft beer. Truck Yard is great but will be packed. Libertine Pub is my favorite place on lower Greeville for craft beers and food. GGs is great Mediterranean and BYOB.

For Pizza, I would send you to Louie's. Cracker thin crust pizza in a great Dive bar. Make sure you have them sit you on the right side (where the bar is). The left side is an addition with no character. We usually sit at the bar and eat if its just the 2 of us.
