Anna’s Mexican Grill serves Tex-Mex cuisine, connections in Colleyville

When opening Anna’s Mexican Grill in Colleyville in 2014 with his business partner George Perez, Alfredo Gonzalez filled the menu with cuisine he knew would be popular based on 30 years of restaurant industry experience. 

“Basically, we have Tex-Mex because it's what the customers like,” Gonzalez said. “Everyone wants Tex-Mex paired with a margarita or a Corona. We have skinny and spicy margaritas and a bunch of flavors.”

On the menu: Dinner, lunch and brunch are served at Anna’s Mexican Grill. Fajitas hold the top spot for the dinner menu while enchiladas are most popular with the lunch crowd, said Gonzalez. 

“People like the fajitas because it has all the fixings in one dish,” Gonzalez said. “Like the guacamole, pico de gallo, rice, beans and tortillas. You can have everything.”

The Good Feet Store relocates in Southlake

A business that specializes in arch supports, The Good Feet Store, has moved into a larger location in Southlake.

What they offer: The new location has an additional fitting station, going from three to four, new technology and should be able to serve more clients, said Matthew Hudson, chief operating officer of Waterman Arch Supports, the parent company for the Southlake location.

Diving deeper: Part of what sets The Good Feet Store apart is a focus on all four arches of the foot, whereas other similar businesses may only look at one or two, Hudson said. The Good Feet Store’s products are meant to address balance and alignment, along with pain, and also come with a lifetime warranty, Hudson added.

Meet The Candidates
Q&A: Meet the 4 candidates running for lieutenant governor of Texas

Four candidates are running for Texas lieutenant governor—the second-in-command to the governor—in the Nov. 3 election.

What's happening: Libertarian Anthony Cristo, Democrat Vikki Goodwin and Green Party candidate Kevin McCormick are challenging Republican incumbent Dan Patrick, who is seeking a fourth term.

The lieutenant governor leads the Texas Senate and can exercise the powers of the governor if the governor dies, resigns, is removed from office or is absent from the state, according to the Texas State Historical Association.

How we got here: Patrick won his Republican primary race in March, while Goodwin advanced to the general election after beating another Democrat in a May primary runoff, Community Impact reported. Cristo and McCormick were selected as their parties' respective candidates during nominating conventions in April.

Looking ahead: Early voting in the midterm election runs from Oct. 19-30, and Election Day is Nov. 3.
