Muchacho

The Got Weekend take

Why go

Muchacho brings chef Omar Flores’s Tex-Mex cooking to Grand Avenue East in Southlake, with handmade tortillas, sizzling fajitas and craft cocktails at the center of the experience. Flores is a five-time James Beard Award nominee, but the reasons to settle in are straightforward: tacos de pescado, queso and margaritas, served in a lively, colorful dining room with a patio. It’s a place to build a meal around familiar Tex-Mex favorites rather than save for a formal occasion. The schedule gives you several ways to make it a weekend stop. Saturday and Sunday brunch runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., while Southlake’s daily happy hour stretches from 2 to 6 p.m. If you’re feeding a group elsewhere, the restaurant also offers catering and online ordering for its Southlake location.
