DALLAS — Although Dallasites have always loved steak, the most recent rankings of the area's highest-rated restaurants show that diners have an eclectic palate with options from seafood to soufflé making it to the top.
One fifth of the top-ranked restaurants in the Dallas-area were steakhouses, but seafood restaurants were a close runner-up, according to rankings by TripAdvisor.
Mexican and Southwestern food also had a solid showing on the list. Some restaurants were even so popular that they made the list twice. Meso Maya locations at Preston Road and McKinney Avenue both scored a spot in the ranking.
