On this two-hour food tour, you will visit some of the best Tex-Mex and Southern cuisine food stops that the Historic West End of Downtown Dallas has to offer.
Cross to the other side of the tracks and find out how the joining of two railroads in 1873 changed the landscape forever, making Dallas the center for commerce in the Southwest — unprecedented for a city without a major river or seaport. Walk the tree-lined streets and bask in air-conditioned comfort at each stop as we explore this unique neighborhood.
Our unique pay-as-you-go model lets you enjoy more of what you want for less money, a better value than comparable food tours. Simply hand the guide $30 cash on your arrival, and the guide will take care of the rest. They’ll pay for the entire group at each of our four stops, minimizing wait time. Paying cash also makes it easy for each restaurant to offer more food so you’re guaranteed Texas-sized servings.
The sky’s the limit on this taste of Texas food tour.
