"If you like tequila cocktails, this is the place for you. There's an extensive selection on the menu to get you started, including a number of enticing frozen margarita options; this is Dallas after all. The tacos are the stars of the show here, from BBQ spiced shrimp to borracho brisket, via smoked chicken and fish asada. The most popular of the lot are the time-honored crispy beef tacos of childhood, served here with salsa and "very special sauce". Racer is also a place for cold, refreshing draft beers, sipped in the achingly cool garden. Tucked away at the lowest end of Dallas ' hipster-friendly Lower Greenville, it's a chilled outdoor drinking spot as much or perhaps even more than it is a restaurant. And that's the way the locals love it." - David Landsel, Diana Oates, Jonathan Thompson
