Mi Chula's Good Mexican opens in Southlake

NHP_24JoeyShashy_59483.JPG

Dallas businessman and restaurateur Joey Shashy is Lebanese-American -- but he also comes from El Paso, so he knows about good Tex-Mex. He is, after all, the man behind the wildly successful Uncle Julio's restaurant chain. And in his private life, he's an excellent amateur cook who makes Lebanese cookies for his friends every holiday season. This is a guy who loves good food.

Joey has just opened a new "upscale fast casual Mexican concept" in the Shops of Southlake. Mi Chula's Good Mexican is located at 1431 Southlake Blvd., and it features family-friendly counter service with tableside delivery.

Among the dishes on the menu (which is displayed on four 42-inch LCD TV monitors) are fish tacos, guisada, asada steak, tamales, borracho beans, shrimp fajitas, chicken or beef fajitas, veggie fajitas, and spinach and roasted vegetable quesadillas, along with signature margaritas and other drinks.

Mi Chula's is open daily, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; call 817-756-6920 or 877-642-4852 for more information.

El Paso = Tex-Mex? I don't think so. No Wolf Brand chili on enchiladas there.....

I am writing in hopes this finds its way to the man who has no heart. My girlfriend brought her disabled son into your Southlake restaurant. She was asked if she was going to sit there and eat with her son, and she said yes. He then told her she was in the way. I hope one day you learn compassion for those less fortunate. In the future, maybe you should set a place, "John's Corner," for those who may need a little extra room and perhaps a LOT more understanding. I am very disappointed in how she was treated and even more disappointed in your lack of humanity.

Thank you, Karen
