Dallas Restaurant Guide

Opened in 2004, at the North West Corner of Preston and Frankford, Berryhill Baja Grill and Cantina was a hit. People lined up to get the legendary tamales and famous fish tacos. Distinguished from the typical Tex-Mex, Berryhill Baja Grill has a southern California and Mexi-Cali offerings that are like nothing else. The famous North Dallas eatery is a full service restaurant with a large elevated patio; perfect for sipping some margaritas. The restaurant seats 200 patrons inside and 85 on the patio. In addition, a private party mezzanine, that seats 45 persons, occupies the second floor.The bar is always filled with regular neighbors that frequent Berryhill to keep that sense of family going. You can catch your favorite show or sporting event on the 120 inch HD screen while enjoying some inexpensive drinks at the bar.Since 1928, Berryhill's tamales have been a tradition. It all started with one man, a bicycle and a recipe. Those who like to wax nostalgic about the good old days will remember the tempting taste of Walter Berryhill's homemade tamales, which he sold from a pushcart along the street corners of the posh River Oaks area of Houston. Much to the sorrow of those who loved the man and his tamales, when Walter Berryhill retired in the 1960's, he took his cart, tortilla press, and the coveted recipe and quietly went home. The famous recipe and the little tamale cart sat in a warehouse until 1993, when the first Berryhill restaurant was born: a little taqueria, lovingly named Berryhill Hot Tamales in Houston.
