The restaurants in this edition had me craving enchiladas, barbecue and seafood, all in the same week. I admit to scrolling through far more pictures of barbecue plates than was even remotely necessary to do my job, so I have only myself to blame. Whatever you’re craving this week, we’ve got you covered.Enchiladas Olé and Holy CueWe have bad news, good news and more good news here. The bad news is that restaurateur Mary Perez had to close the North Richland Hills location of Enchiladas Olé, announcing in an August Facebook post that the building had mechanical issues that could not be overcome and a new location had not been determined yet. It’s a good thing Enchiladas Olé’s Facebook page is a virtual space because otherwise a (mostly friendly) fight might break out over exactly where the new location should go. It seems no one wants to be too far from their favorite enchiladas and that legendary rice. Perez told the Report that they have narrowed the search to two potential locations: one on Southlake Boulevard and another on Heritage Trace Parkway. The good news is that the locations on Forest Park Boulevard and Camp Bowie Boulevard in Fort Worth are still open and the North Richland Hills staff has been absorbed into those locations to help with delivery and catering services to north Tarrant County. The “more good news” part comes in the form of a new ghost kitchen that Perez opened Sept. 5. Known as Holy Cue, it will fuse two of Texas’ favorite food groups: Mexican and barbecue. Perez calls it “barbecue with a twist.” The menu will feature specialties such as smoked poblano peppers stuffed with brisket and cheddar, green chile chicken, spicy ribs and conchitas, which Perez describes as “a Mexican version of mac and cheese.” Delivery and pickup orders for Holy Cue will only be taken by phone until they’ve had a chance to gauge demand, then they will add online ordering. Enchiladas Olé, 6473 Camp Bowie Blvd., Fort Worth; 817-386-4555. 2418 Forest Park Blvd., Fort Worth; 817-984-1360. Holy Cue, 2418 Forest Park Blvd., Fort Worth; 817-984-1360225° BBQOver in Arlington, there’s another team bringing “Texas style BBQ with a Mexican twist.” After a wild journey moving with their barbecue trailer through different locations — with fans tracking the truck through Facebook announcements — a recent post announced that the family-owned business has found its forever home. Loyal fans will recognize the Main Street location because 225° BBQ took up residence in the former Mavericks Bar & Grill from October 2022 to June 2023, serving barbecue from one end of the bar. That collaboration didn’t last, but the location became available as a standalone operation after Mavericks closed its doors near the end of 2023. It’s been an “emotional roller coaster” according to a Facebook post, but the team is ready to serve up its unique menu mix of brisket elote, beef ramen, barbecue baseballs and Texas Twinkies, alongside their staples of brisket and ribs. 601 E. Main St., Arlington; 214-433-0685Pacific Table – SouthlakeFar Out Hospitality knows when it’s got a good restaurant concept going, and it knows how to make more of it. The Fort Worth restaurant group, led by celebrity chefs Felipe Armenta and Graham Elliot, is taking the successful restaurant brands it originated in Fort Worth and multiplying them in the surrounding areas. Pacific Table – Southlake opened Aug. 19, serving the same Pacific Northwest seafood menu that made the brand so popular in Fort Worth and Las Colinas. The group announced that a fourth location of Pacific Table is planned for Dallas inside The Sinclair, a 46-floor luxury residential tower. The group’s popular Press Cafe opened a second location in Aledo earlier this year. Far Out Hospitality also owns the Tavern, Towne Grill, Le Margot, F1 Smokehouse and Maria’s Mexican Kitchen in Fort Worth. 2221 E. Southlake Blvd., Southlake; 817-516-6328We’d love to hear from you!
