Are you ready to explore all the best things to do in Dallas this month? There are so many amazing local businesses in Dallas! We’ve created the ultimate bucket list with some must-visit local businesses in Dallas and other fun stuff to do for you.

Taqueria El Arquito

Taco lovers, you’re in for a treat! We’ve found a hidden gem taqueria located in a small convenience store on Ceasar Chavez Boulevard that you can’t miss out on. Taqueria El Arquito is a family-owned business with seven locations in the DFW area. We highly recommended trying their famous trompo tacos made with their unique family recipe. Some of our other favorites are the Torta Cubana, Mi Special, Gordita, and their delicious Horchata.

Texas Rangers

It’s the Rangers 50th anniversary season and you don’t want to miss being part of it! Going to the Rangers game is the perfect summer activity because no matter how hot it is outside, Globe Life Field is climate controlled and will always stay around 72° F. How cool is that? Did you know that Globe Life Field has over 100 concession stands? Some of our favorites are the hotdogs and ice cream served out of a fun baseball cap.
