\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMama Cuca’s is now open near Central Arlington. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
A tsunami of soccer <\/a>is headed towards North Texas and AT&T Stadium. The Texas Rangers are also back at Globe Life Field. <\/p>\n The FIFA World Cup could bring a record economic impact to the region. The Michigan Journal of Economics\u00a0estimates<\/a>\u00a0visitors to Dallas will generate between $1.5 and $2.1 billion in regional economic activity. AT&T Stadium will host nine games, more than any other venue in the U.S. <\/p>\n As part of the excitement of the games, fans will be looking to visit local restaurants. We have a full guide to restaurants around AT&T Stadium<\/a>, but here are some new options that visitors and (mostly) locals should check out. <\/p>\n Loma TXMX<\/p>\n 1011 Nolan Ryan Expressway The Londoner<\/p>\n 1409 N. Collins St. Th\u00e9odore\u2019s<\/p>\n 2918 W. Pioneer Parkway, Dalworthington Gardens The Original Roy Hutchins<\/p>\n 1600 E. Copeland Road, Arlington, Now Open Mama Cuca\u2019s<\/p>\n
Opening Date: April 2
We\u2019re excited to try Loma TXMX <\/a>from Brandon and Hannah Hurtado of Hurtado Barbecue. This upscale Tex-Mex spot is on the outer rim of the old Rangers ballpark and across from the Loews Hotel near the Rangers\u2019 Globe Life Field. Menu highlights include mesquite-grilled wagyu skirt steak fajitas and fresh tortillas. Mesquite wood-fired Oyster Oaxacapener are finished with an espelette-harissa cream. There are short-rib wagyu enchiladas and shrimp brochette. Wash all that down with a margarita made with one of 50 tequilas and mezcals. <\/p>\n
Opening Date: Late April
British pub The Londoner has a few locations in Dallas. This newest addition to the family is located on North Collins Street across from Lincoln Square; it\u2019s taking over the former Shakertins space. They\u2019re hoping to do a soft launch in late April. Just a mile west of AT&T Stadium, this will be a great spot to pre-game or watch a game if you don\u2019t have tickets. Dark beers and dark bars always hit. In addition to a wide selection of UK and Irish beers on tap, they also have local craft beer. The food menu has all the pub essentials like fish and chips, bangers and mash and cottage pie. Keep an eye on their website<\/a> for an exact opening date.<\/p>\n
Th\u00e9odore\u2019s is about 10 minutes from AT&T Stadium, but it\u2019ll be worth the drive. This steakhouse is from chef Moose Benhamacht, a classically trained chef who also owns Cafe Americana, closer to the stadium (a great option for a meal in Arlington as well). Th\u00e9odore\u2019s is an upscale steak-and-seafood restaurant. You can get classic cocktails, seafood towers, a seafood risotto and hand-cut wagyu steaks. We haven\u2019t got eyes on prices yet, but we will update when we do. Make reservations through Resy<\/a>. <\/p>\n
The Original Roy Hutchins Barbeque is not to be confused with the other Hutchins in McKinney; this big barbecue family has two separate restaurants. The original location for this branch is in Trophy Club, and RFK Jr. recently visited<\/a>. This new location near AT&T Stadium opened in March. Look for big trays of smoked sausage, brisket and home-cooked sides. They also have Texas Twinkies<\/a>, which may be our U.N. food delegate: bacon-wrapped smoked jalapenos stuffed with brisket and cream cheese.<\/p>\n
