Fort Worth Texas Food | Pre-Concert Eats Recommendation

Fort Worth Texas Food | Pre-Concert Eats Recommendation 🎤🍴 This trip to Fort Worth was for the BABYMONSTER concert! 🎶 While searching for guides, I noticed there weren’t many food recommendations near the venue—probably because most folks come mainly for the show. So before writing my concert recap, here’s my pick for the “best pre-concert meal spot”—Pappasito's Cantina 🇲🇽✨. This Mexican restaurant was highly recommended by our Airbnb host, around $30 per person, and super conveniently located—right next to the concert venue Dickies Arena 🏟️. Nearby are a botanic garden and an antique mall, making it perfect for a day plan: explore in the afternoon, enjoy a hearty meal, then walk straight to the concert. Perfect! The two of us ordered the host-recommended Beef Fajita, and because the ribs from a Texas BBQ joint a few days earlier were so impressive, we couldn’t resist adding the Manzanilla Ribs. The fajita beef was cooked medium rare—tender enough to “melt in your mouth” 😍. Be sure to ask for a side of garlic butter to drizzle over it—the aroma doubles instantly, elevating the flavor! The ribs were glazed with a sweet chili coating, caramelized to a sweet crispiness that’s absolutely addictive to gnaw on 🤤. The thoughtful restaurant even provides wet wipes, so no sticky fingers～ Each main comes with rice and beans, simple but comforting. The restaurant atmosphere is cozy too—soft lighting, upbeat music, relaxed vibes～ Almost forgot: the complimentary tortilla chips are incredibly crispy! So crispy that a chip fragment flew into my eye on the first bite 😅… Be careful, but you won’t be able to stop munching! P.S. They have multiple locations across Texas, so if you’re catching a show or exploring nearby, look one up～ 📍 Pappasito's Cantina 2704 West Fwy, Fort Worth, TX 76102 #RestaurantRecommendation#TexasFood#FortWorthFood#MexicanCuisine#ConcertEats#TravelFoodDiary
