I strongly agree about La Calle Doce.  Another one worth trying is Pappadeaux, which is a Cajun place with good seafood.  They do nice things with salmon.  Pappa. is in the Turtle Creek area, near Cedar Springs Rd.

I also agree that you must be mixing up Dallas with Houston (or Boston?) which are of course coastal.

ps:   if you stay at the Omni Melrose you will be a short walk from Pappa.

I like Pappadeaux, just off Central Expressway in Richardson. But if you
*really* want a great meal, try the fajitas (shrimp fajitas if you want seafood) at Uncle Julio's, on Lemmon near downtown, on Greenville or the new location just off the North Dallas tollway, just north of the LBJ Freeway.
