"Tacos? Check. Pan-fried tacos? Check check. Frito tamale pie? Of course. All the Tex-Mex classics can be found at Odelay, located in the Park Cities, including crispy flautas, cheese-laden chile rellenos, and puffy gorditas. Here, diners can also find a few options from New Mexico (try the green chile pork stew) and a Texas-style bacon-wrapped quail. This restaurant is big but often packed with people, so prepare for a wait. In addition to the booth-filled dining room and U-shaped bar inside, there’s a nice, large covered patio out front, plus plenty of easy parking in the lot." - Amy McCarthy
"Honestly, some nights Tex-Mex is the only thing that satisfies. If that’s how you feel about New Years Eve, go for it at this neighborhood spot. It will serve its regular menu, which features damn good queso, “perfect” nachos, and an incredible chile relleno. Or splurge on the red snapper, three quails served Texas-style, or a dish of tenderloin Tampiquena. No reservations, just vibes." - Courtney E. Smith
"Odelay has an expansive porch that’s open seasonally and perfect for enjoying a Mezcalerita or sipping tequila from its extensive menu. And, uh, order a little food with that." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
"Tacos? Check. Pan fried tacos? Check check. Frito tamale pie? Yes! Flautas and chile relleno and a gordita? All the classics are here. Plus a few options from New Mexico and a Texas-style, bacon-wrapped quail." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy
"Order the “Ritas and Queso” Queso from the apps menu here and get exactly what it says — but do add on chili con carne, guacamole, and sour cream for the whole experience." - Courtney E. Smith
