Dallas has a michelada on every corner. So why drive half an hour southeast for ours? Because Dallas doesn't have this patio: picnic tables under string lights, palapa umbrellas, a trailer kitchen, wide-open Texas sky, and room for the kids to run without anybody worrying about a parking lot.
It's an easy drive, too. US-175 runs straight from the south side of Dallas to our exit. Leave Pleasant Grove by 11:30 and you can catch the noon kickoff with a michelada already on the table.
How to get here
DALLAS → CR 4106 · 28 MI · ~37 MIN
From downtown Dallas, take I-45 south and merge onto US-175 (the C.F. Hawn Freeway) heading southeast. Stay on US-175 through Seagoville and toward Crandall, then exit at County Road 4106. It's about 28 miles and 37 minutes without traffic. From Pleasant Grove or Kleberg you're already halfway here.
Why Dallas makes the drive
Dallas regulars usually come for the botanas preparadas. Chicharrón preparado is the one people search for by name, and it comes out loaded for $9. Tosticeviche is $10. A Paloma or an Azulito is $9. No cover charge, no dress code.
Throwing a party in Dallas? The trailer travels. We can set up for backyard quinceañeras, block parties, tailgates and office lunches. Tell us the date, the address and how many guests, and we'll quote it.
If you've been searching "chicharrón preparado Dallas" and coming up short, take US-175 out of town for 37 minutes. Bring a cooler for the leftovers. You won't have any, but bring it anyway.
Coming out from Dallas
Time it right. Traffic on US-175 is lightest on Sunday mornings and weekday early afternoons. Friday after 4 PM, plan on extra time getting out of the city. We're open until 11 PM Friday through Sunday, so there's no rush once you're here.
Bring a crowd. The patio is built for big tables, and the drive feels shorter in a full car. Order a couple of cubetas, a round of loaded nachos and every botana that sounds good. Tosticeviche, pepinos preparados and conchitas are the ones Dallas groups tend to discover here first.
Pick a driver before you leave the city. Our Azulito sin alcohol, Jarritos and Mexican Coke mean the driver doesn't have to sit there with just a water.
Dallas folks who come once usually come back for the same reason: it doesn't feel like the city. There's no valet, no wait list on a tablet, and nobody's checking if you're done with the table. You order at the window, you grab a seat outside, and the string lights come on when the sun goes down. Kids play between the picnic tables, the game's on inside, and a michelada with a chamoy and Tajín rim lands at your table. If that sounds like the Sunday you've been missing, US-175 will get you here in under forty minutes. And if you can't make the drive, the trailer can make it to you.
