Zaguan on a Sunday

Brunch at Zaguan Latin Bakery and Cafe provides a good change of pace for a Sunday morning. Located on Oak Lawn Avenue in a strip plaza, Zaguan also provides outdoor seating which some were taking advantage of despite the high temperatures. The picture menu was helpful for first timers like us not knowing what to order. We also asked the waitress and both ended up with what she says is one of the most popular items, the Cachapa with beef and cheese. Served with plantain chips or a fruit cup, I could see why this would be popular- it's delicious! We also had to try a bakery item and chose the cherry pasteles. You may also note the free samples of bread provided on the counter.

Greek Delights in Oak Cliff

Apollo’s Platter

Someone told me once that living in the Dallas suburbs and in the city are about the same. Granted, I have found some pretty good food in Irving and Richardson, but as for most of the newer suburbs, that's not true, especially when it comes to food. This little Greek restaurant in Oak Cliff is one of those places you're not likely to find anywhere but in an old city neighborhood.

Located in the Bishop Arts District, the Greek Cafe & Bakery has all the favorites including Mousaka, Pastitsio and Lamb Chops, plus bakery items like Baklava and Tsoureki. Nothing fancy about the decor, but the staff is old-world friendly and the portions are generous.
