Mexican seafood

Ifsomeone asks, “Where can I get great Mexican seafood in Dallas?”, the answer is almost always La Calle Doce. The Sanchez family opened the restaurant more than 30 years ago in a renovated Oak Cliff home on Twelfth Street, and the accolades have been piling up ever since. There’s something adventurous about the seven mares, a spicy cocktail filled with octopus, oysters, scallops and shrimp; or the ahi tuna mixteca, fresh raw tuna combined with onions, capers and jalapeños. For the less adventurous, there are simple dishes such as the shrimp kabob with grilled veggies. —EmilyToman
