Destanie & De’Ron’s Southwest Dallas Faves: Tacos, Gas, & More!
Real estate pros by day, foodies and fun-havers by night.
You already know we sell homes, but did you know we’re also lowkey experts on where to grab a bite, catch a vibe, and fill your tank (literally and emotionally) in and around Southwest Dallas?
We thought it was time to share some of our go-to spots complete with our real reviews, because if we’re not keeping it honest... what are we even doing?
🥩 Restaurants We’re Willing to Drive Across Town For
De’Ron: Ocean Prime, Dallas
Listen… when I’m feeling fancy-fancy? I’m at Ocean Prime. Suit jacket on, glass of whiskey in hand, ordering that sea bass like I actually know what day it is. They bring out the food and I just sit there nodding like, “Yeah… this is grown man energy.” Perfect spot for a celebration or if you want to impress your in-laws.
Destanie: Paradiso, Bishop Arts
This is my soft life sanctuary. The patio? A whole vibe. The cocktails? Don’t play. I’m coming for the atmosphere, but staying for that ricotta gnocchi and the Instagram lighting. Feels like vacation but with free parking (kinda). Also…girls’ brunch? Absolutely!
De’Ron Bonus Round: Crab Kingz, DeSoto
I don’t care what anyone says. The butter sauce from Crab Kingz deserves federal protection. It's messy, it’s spicy, and it’s right down the street. Judge me if you want, but I'm cracking crab legs in public like it's a sport.
🌮 Taco Spots We’ll Defend With Our Whole Chest
Destanie: Fuel City, Dallas
Fuel City tacos hit like 2AM wisdom. There are other Fuel City spots in DFW but you have to go to the one off 35 near Downtown. The pastor taco with lime and cilantro? Elite. And yes, I’m ordering 3 plus a cup of elote. Don’t judge me.
De’Ron: City Street Tacos, Duncanville
This is the hidden gem your cousin thinks he discovered first. Affordable, authentic, and if you know you know. It’s the kind of taco that makes you stop mid-bite like “Wait… why is this so good?” IYKYK.
Destanie Bonus Round: Taqueria Taxco, DeSoto
Listen. Just order the chicken taco plate and thank me later. So good and the mean is very well seasoned.
⛽ Where We Fill Up (Gas & Snacks)
Both of Us: Costco in Duncanville
We’re not above a gas line if the price is right. Plus, you already know we’re going inside to “just get one thing” and somehow walk out with 32 protein bars and a kayak.
De’Ron: Fuel City in Cedar Hill
Because if I’m gonna get gas, why not grab tacos an Essentia water too? It’s basically a cultural experience. One stop shop for me and my stomach.
🍕 Pizza Nights Done Right
De’Ron: Sam’s Pizza, Cedar Hill
This is where the real ones go. Not flashy, not corporate, just consistent, cheesy deliciousness. Fold the slice. Dab the grease. Mind your business. Respect the crust.
Destanie: Zalat Pizza off Lamar, Dallas
They get me. They got us! We have pizza night every Thursday in our house and we can’t wait to splurge on these guys. The flavors are wild but work and, they’ve got a spicy ranch that I would probably buy a Costco size of if they made it.
🛒 Groceries (Because Adulting)
De’Ron: Costco, Duncanville
Two words: bulk savings. And let’s be honest, that $1.50 hot dog and drink combo? It’s giving value. I walk in there like a dad who knows what aisle the batteries are on. It’s home.
Destanie: Trader Joe’s, Lower Greenville
Don’t sleep on TJ’s! Their produce is typically cheaper than most chains and when egg pricers were going crazy, they held the line! I’m here for the vibe, the tiny carts, and the seasonal snacks I didn’t know I needed until I saw the endcap display. Plus, my son loves going because they always give him about 20 stickers that end up all over his carseat!
🎉 Entertainment (a.k.a. Realtor Recovery Time)
Destanie: Whiskeys, South Dallas + Cidercade, Dallas
Whiskeys gives grown & sexy with a super chill vibe. Perfect after a long week of showing homes and it’s black owned. And when I’m feeling competitive and playful? Catch me at Cidercade beating someone’s high score on Pac-Man while sipping something fruity with bubbles.
De’Ron: Electric Shuffle, Dallas
This is not your grandma’s shuffleboard. It’s like Top Golf had a baby with a DJ and a cocktail bar. Great for date night, friend night, or team night (we should probably host an event here 👀).
