Queso Fundido

El Paso-inspired Tex-Mex with enough queso options to make melted cheese feel like part of the restaurant’s identity.

Choose creamy roasted poblano dip or stretchy queso fundido, then add chorizo, shrimp, or truffle-roasted mushrooms.

Classic queso, picadillo, Compuesto, and fundido give this stop a whole wardrobe of melted-cheese personalities.

Melted cheeses, salsa, tortillas, and a memorable wild-mushroom fundido make this one worth stepping behind the curtain for.

A Nashville family institution since 1990, built from a borrowed $3,000 and still gathering generations around the table.

Three quesos, three personalities: classic cheddar Tejano, spinach-artichoke-poblano Queso Mesero, and sizzling chorizo fundido. A triple-stamp destination.

Queso, enchiladas, Christmas-style chiles, and a first taste of huitlacoche made this North Texas favorite a food rabbit hole.

White or yellow? Amigo Juan serves both, plus chili cheese dip and Katie's Flaming Queso with chorizo and jalapeños.
