I absolutely LOVE San Martin and I honestly do not know why I have yet to come back sooner!…read more I recently popped back into San martin after not being there for a while, and OMG! I was instantly reminded why it is such a Dallas GEM! I did not pop in to eat this time, but to find a nice spot to work with a friend on our laptops and yap over a coffee! And while we weren't planning to do much, the experience was still a 10/10! I ended up ordering a White Chocolate latte and it was AMAZING! You can tell they actually put time and effort into their coffee and lattes! Everything is also brewed fresh! Which I love! My friend ordered a artesian hot chocolate and wow! It was probably some of the best hot chocolate I have ever had! It was def made with real cocoa! We did end up splurging on some pastries, because DUH! It's it so hard to ignore the bakery section when it is so stunning and filled with beautiful baked goods! I got a oreo croissant and tortuga concha! I did not eat them (My bf did) but they looked so great! I did try my friends banana custard filled bread and that was great! I would go back for it! Overall, we ended up sitting inside of their beautiful space for hours, just talking and catching up! It was amazing and comfy! We def want to return for some of their dinner and drink specials too! Highly recommend!

We came out for their opening and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience…read more We arrived at 4:30 AM and got in line. Based on our count, we were around #40, #41, and #42, so we should have been within the first 50 people to receive the free bag. However, by the time we made it inside, they had already run out. The biggest issue was the lack of organization. There was no ticketing or clear system to keep track of who was actually in line. We also noticed people arriving later and joining friends and family who were already in line, which made the whole process feel unfair. I understand openings can be hectic, but when you're advertising something for the first 50 customers, there should be a system in place to make sure those who actually waited in line are counted. We got there extremely early for a reason, so it was definitely disappointing to miss out because of poor crowd control.

Great little place at the Farmers market. We tried the…read morelobster bisque and the chili. The bisque was creamy and flavorful, perfect spiking to bring out the lobster taste. The chili was great as well, true Texas chili without beans, it was delicious, but only slightly spicy. The other soups and stocks looked really good as well. They even have a window where you can see into the kitchen where they make it all. Definitely recommend trying it.

We are in a heat wave and it was still the best broth I've ever had. I can't wait until winter to sit by a fire and sip on that! I also got broth for pets for my grand dogs. They are going to love it!! There's no onion or garlic so it will be easily digestible for them. I walked away from there with 8 sticks, broths and lard. Ohhhhhh, the jalapeño broth is soooo good too. And nice little kick on the back end. I can't wait to try each of items I bought! Joanne is a wealth of information and so friendly and interesting.

I loveeeee the art around the restaurant and its decorations they did such a good job with blending and appreciating both cultures which I thought was very unique. The food was very good more on the hearty side! The platters are enough food in my opinion for three people.

As someone who loves Mexican and Vietnamese food, I found my palette to be quite confused at this place but I really loved the collaboration and the thought out process you can tell they had when they put the menu together--what might work? It was really busy on an early Friday night which was really great to see, and there was plenty of parking outside. Staff was friendly and really attentive! They were all helping eachother out and still was able to coordinate super well. We were only able to try the phoritto and phozole before getting full, I will say the phoritto is exactly how you would expect it to taste, pho inside a beautifully fried tortilla burrito. It tasted almost identical to pho and with the side of broth which I appreciated, I liked this dish! It was inventive but also paid homage to pho. On the other hand I personally was not a fan of the phozole, I love pozole and pho separately but I couldn't enjoy them together. I think the pozole was cooked really well and was flavorful, I liked the spicy sauce that came for the meat, but I would probably try something else if I returned. In general I really see and feel the love of this restaurant and commend Cris and John for collaborating flavors that are very different! It's awesome to see!

Interior was lovely and quiet. Parking is currently a bit of a pain with construction but overall not an issue. Happy hour is fantastic with both food and drink specials. We tried edamame with spicy garlic sauce, thai dumping (bit like a siu mai), ka thai shrimp ceviche (everyone was very impressed with this dish), crispy vegetable spring roll. This was enough for three adults and we also ordered pad woon sen which was cooked perfectly. Will be back with the fam!

A Deliciously Fun Night at Culinary Dropout!…read more After attending a nearby art gallery opening last week, we headed to Culinary Dropout with friends for a fabulous evening of food, drinks, and fun! We had reserved a table on the upstairs outdoor patio, and Mother Nature absolutely delivered with gorgeous weather. Add in the lively, upbeat atmosphere, and we were off to a great start! Our server, Lisa, was fantastic from beginning to end! She was attentive, engaging, and full of great recommendations for drinks and shareable plates. We were in excellent hands! First up was the Episode 163 Chef Board, loaded with a chef's selection of thinly sliced meats, cheeses, and snacks. Then came the Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket with honey mustard crème fraîche (yum!) and Crispy Brussels Sprouts with gochujang, mint, and cilantro dip. We followed those with White Truffle Deviled Eggs topped with crispy prosciutto and chives, and Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp stuffed with cornbread dressing and served with pimento aioli, Cajun butter, and Parmesan. Talk about a table full of tempting bites! By this point, we were pretty sure we couldn't eat another thing. But then Lisa started talking desserts... and suddenly, we found room! We couldn't settle on just one, so naturally, we ordered THREE to share. Because why not? The Monkey Bread with cinnamon apple brioche and vanilla ice cream was downright delicious. The Mississippi Mud Pie, packed with chocolate ganache, espresso fudge, whipped cream, and toffee crunch, was decadently rich (almost too rich!). Thankfully, the chef's daily swirled soft-serve ice cream creation was the perfect refreshing finish to our sweet extravaganza. All in all, it was a terrific evening from start to finish! The fun atmosphere, beautiful patio, delicious food, outstanding service, and, best of all, wonderful friends made it a night to remember. Great food, great company, and a little dessert overindulgence? That's our kind of night!

Overall: 4.2/5 [dine in]…read more They served three banchans and their kimchi was really good, though I didn't care for the green onion one. Each soup came with a bowl of fresh white rice and a dipping sauce for the meat. The soup bowl looked a bit small at first but I was comfortably full by the end of the meal. Just a heads up that the soups come unseasoned so there's salt on the table for you to season to your liking. #3 Seok Uh Sulung Tang ($17.99): Ox bone soup with mixed meat and thin white noodles. I loved the variety so this was perfect for me. The soup tasted a lot better with 2 spoons of salt. I also added some black pepper and green onions to round it out even more. #9 Won Gi Tang ($23.99): Came with beef baby back rib, ox knee, beef brisket, and green onions. The broth had a slight green onion flavor but was otherwise similar to the other soup. My only gripe was that the rib meat wasn't very tender so it was hard to eat off the bone. Solid spot and a great choice for a recovery meal.
