Village Grill, Lewisville

Village Grill slings hearty plates of Tex-Mex, Italian, and American recipes in a large, contemporary dining space. Recipes inspired by Cozumel and Monterey envelop enchiladas, quesadillas, and chicken breasts in cornhusks, adobo sauce, and pico de gallo. Center-cut pork chops and thick-cut steaks sizzle in skillets with merlot, white wine, and Jack Daniel's sauces before waiters ferry plates to cozy café tables amid red, green, and yellow walls dappled with murals and black-and-white photography. Village Grill also caters celebrations with platters of layered fruit or stacks of ribs, and memorable items such as watermelons carved with snappy phrases or annotated translations of War and Peace.
