Big plates of Tex-Mex and remembering the old days at Casa Navarro.
, a little Tex-Mex place in North Dallas at Marsh and Forest lanes is one such place. We’ve been going there for years, two or three times a year reflexively, without much thought or analysis. It’s seemingly been there forever, founded by family members of the old El Taxco, which opened in 1947.way back in 1994, 30 years ago, and even then the writer waxed nostalgic about the neighborhood. Those intervening three decades have only caused the nostalgia to grow.
Decades have passed since we’d first go see a movie at North Town Mall and afterward cruise that area of Forest Lane, some in Camaros, others in our parents’ Ford Fiestas, with Judas Priest blaring from the Sansui-driven 100-watt Rockford-Fosgate amp as we pulled into Arby’s to loop back in the other direction. There was a Jack in the Box for tacos then, but there was also Casa Navarro. And there still is.
So, if you haven’t been in a while and find yourself in the area, definitely stop by. Don’t sleep on this area or this small, cozy restaurant that has just quietly trudged on day in, day out over the decades. North Town Mall may be gone, but the no U-turn signs at every intersection on Forest Lane and, thankfully Casa Navarro, remain.
