This contemporary Mexican restaurant, by the same folks behind Oak and Pakpao Thai, eschews regular Tex-Mex standards in favor of showcasing Mexico's intriguing regional cuisine. El Bolero, which refers to Mexico's omnipresent street-side shoe shiners, aims to take diners on a South of the Border journey-- not only through its cuisine, but also with its decor, which includes custom carved wooden doors, hand-crafted mosaic walls and other Latin-inspired design elements throughout. Expect to find dishes like carnitas and fajitas, along with elevated regional classics-- ranging from aguachile de camaron (a traditional coastal Mexican ceviche) to Cochinita Pibil (a slow roasted pork dish from the Yucatan). Not to be missed are the restaurant's mezcal laden libations, which can best be had on the oasis-like patio that boasts views of downtown Dallas.
