If it is a nice day, try to sit on the patio. good service, server was nice, but not interactive. corn chowder a,little spicy but good. whipped feta was great. Huevo ranchero was ok. two eggs on top of soupy blackbeans and two fried white corn tortillas. It's a different take but not a good one. Parking is $10, as most people go to George W. Bush museum

Our family of four enjoyed a delicious lunch at Cafe 43, located next to George W. Bush's presidential library in Dallas, Texas. The restaurant's modern and bright ambiance made for a pleasant dining experience. As vegetarians, we appreciated the vegan and vegetarian-friendly menu options. I chose black beans with eggs, my son had squash spaghetti, my wife enjoyed fried avocado, and my daughter tried a unique dish with cream cheese-like base topped with a few vegetables. For dessert, we indulged in key lime pie and cheesecake with fresh berries and mango. The service was prompt, and the locally sourced ingredients made each dish authentic and flavorful. It was convenient to have a meal at the restaurant before heading back into the library. We also observed a painting by George W. Bush featuring cacti. Overall, our visit to Cafe 43 was enjoyable and memorable.
