Good morning, Dev Test County. December will bring a taste of Mexico to the Design District as La Lupita Taco & Mezcal makes its highly anticipated U.S. debut. After earning international acclaim from GOOP and Condé Nast Traveler, this Los Cabos sensation will introduce Dallas to its 27 taco varieties—from Wagyu beef to adventurous grasshopper options—alongside an impressive mezcal selection that's bound to spice up our local dining scene.
While we await these culinary delights, the city is busy with practical matters. Dallas officials are hosting Town Hall meetings for District 1 residents to shape the upcoming budget, with both virtual and in-person options available. And cyclists can finally celebrate some transparency—the city has revealed its twice-monthly bike lane sweeping schedule for all 90 miles of on-street lanes, complete with an online tracking system to monitor when that special (if breakdown-prone) mini-sweeper will visit your route.

🏙️ Dallas wants your input on how to spend tax dollars. The city is hosting Town Hall meetings for District 1 residents to weigh in on the upcoming 2025-26 fiscal budget. Meetings will be held both virtually on August 25 and in-person at Tyler Street Church on August 26, with Spanish interpretation available at both events. This provides residents an opportunity to ask questions, offer feedback, and help shape city priorities directly with their council representatives. The full Budget Development Timeline and citywide meeting list is available online for those interested in participating.
🚲 Dallas finally reveals its bike lane sweeping schedule. The city maintains 90 miles of on-street bike lanes, with an additional 58 miles in parks and trails. A newly released memo details that lanes are swept twice monthly—some between the 1st and 15th, others between the 15th and 30th. A dedicated webpage now tracks maintenance efforts and features a map of sweeping routes along with monthly reports. The special miniature sweeping vehicle, which frequently breaks down, cleaned 30 protected lanes in June according to the latest data.
🌮 Mexican taco sensation lands in Dallas' Design District this December. La Lupita Taco & Mezcal, a globally recognized restaurant from Los Cabos, will make its U.S. debut at 1201 Oak Lawn Avenue in the former El Bolero space. Founded by Mexico City native David Camhi, the restaurant has earned praise from GOOP and Condé Nast Traveler for its creative tacos, vibrant atmosphere, and extensive mezcal selection. The menu features bold offerings like Wagyu tacos, grasshoppers, and 27 different taco varieties including vegetarian options. A second U.S. location is planned for Scottsdale's Old Town in early 2026.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
