The Dallas-based House of Blues resides in the Victory Park region, just southwest of the downtown area. With the state of Texas bordering Mexico, it stands to reason that more than 35 percent of Dallas' population identifies themselves as Hispanic. As a result, Dallas, including the area surrounding the House of Blues, plays host to its fair share of Mexican restaurants.
Boasting a casual interior, complete with dark wood tables and modern lighting designs, Luna de Noche's Tex-Mex Gourmet sits two blocks from the House of Blues. The lunch and dinner menu features such traditional Mexican cuisine as chimichangas, fish tacos, burritos and chalupas. The restaurant also offers a special gourmet menu, offering such items as garlic salmon, short ribs and pork loin. Luna de Noche features catering services as well for private events.
