4912 Cole Ave.
Dallas, Texas 75205

I'm running a little behind with updates.. I had a hard drive die, and I've been pulling my hair out trying to get the data off it... long story there.
Anyway, this is a great Mexican Place on Cole Ave. It's listed as being Tex-mex, but the decor almost seems Spanish.
This place was a little difficult to find, and on a one way street. We had to turn around on a dead end street, and in the process of doing that, Valentina scraped the back of her new car on a pole. :(
Here she is not being happy about that.
Valentina had the Carne Asada, and I had Chicken Fajitas. MmMmmmM...!
And margaritas of course! Because we needed a drink after our run in with the pole.. not that we wouldn't have had one anyway. :)
And for dessert, Val had Tres Leches Cake, and I had the Key Lime pie.. as I am on a mission to find the best key lime pie in town. This was very good, but so far Kenny's is still winning.
After dinner, we took a little tour of the restaurant. Apparently this is one of the few places in town you can still smoke, as they have a smoking bar. And the place is full of dead animals. Because I seem to be attracted to weirdness I got lots of photos. :)
Javier's 3 1/2 out of 5 stars
Ok, when I was searching for the address of the restaurant I found this article. This was published shortly before we went there, and we hadn't heard this.
Popular Dallas Restaurant Manager Missing
A well-liked manager from a popular Dallas restaurant is missing. And the man's daughter is desperate for answers. 
Jose 'Pepe" Ayala is the general manager of Javier's Gourmet Mexicano on Cole Avenue in Dallas. He has not been seen for over two weeks, and emotions are running high for his daughter, Carmen. "When they called me that my dad was missing. I had no idea immediately I thought the worst. That I may never hear from him again, may never see him again."
Carmen says Javier's is Ayala's life. He's a favorite among patrons and employees alike. "His employer told me that he was as dependable as the sun going down and the moon coming up. This is not him. This is out of character."
Flyers are being passed out in Ayala's neighborhood, as well as at the restaurant he's worked at for nearly 30 years. "I'm hoping for the best. I'm hoping to get his picture out there."
Ayala was last seen April 20 at his home near Northwest Highway and Jupiter. He left behind his car, clothing and diabetes medication. The only things missing were the garage remote control from his car and his wallet. Dallas police have an open case file on this. They classify it as a 'want to locate' report.
