Fort Worth’s been on a new-restaurant roll lately, with several new spots opening in and around the city over the past few weeks. To help diners keep track, we are thus dedicating the March edition of our monthly Where to Eat feature on new restaurants.

Here's Where to eat in Fort Worth right now:

Beren Mediterranean Empire Kitchen
New family-run Mediterranean restaurant recently opened inside the Funky Town Food Hall, at 1229 8th Ave., underneath Wabi House. Nearly everything is made from scratch, including the excellent complimentary bread, served warm in a basket. Entrees include Mediterranean go-to’s, such as kebabs, gyros, hummus ,and baba ganoush — but also some dishes you don’t always see, including kavurma, a Turkish dish comprised of braised shoulder meat served over rice. During breakfast, they offer both Turkish and American egg and meat dishes, plus two types of Turkish bagels: simit, a pretzel-like, sesame-studded ring, and pogaca, similar to an American bread roll.

Cafecito
Located at 407 W. Magnolia Ave., in the historic W.F. Laurence building in a space that has previously been home to restaurants Fixture and Eazy Monkey, this buzzy Mexican resaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and brunch has been drawing big crowds since it opened a few weeks ago, upgrading from its previous life as a food truck and food hall vendor. Run by mother-daughter team Yaneth Sanchez and Cinthya Duran, the restaurant is bathed in pink - a nod to their signature item, pink corn tortillas, used as the base for their excellent tacos. There are also burritos, menudo, and fideo soups, and hearty dishes such as tortas, flautas, and sincronizadas, a sandwich made with tortillas instead of bread. Brunch items include chilaquiles, migas, and housemade pancakes topped with chopped strawberries and powdered sugar. There’s a great drink selection, too, from freshly made agua frescas and hot and cold coffee drinks, served boozy or not.

Lil JJ’s Smokehouse
North Fort Worth now has a terrific, independent barbecue joint, courtesy of John Berry, longtime owner of Berry Best BBQ in North Richland Hills. After nearly a decade, Berry recently closed Berry Best to open this spot in the Presidio Towne Crossing shopping center at 9321 N. Freeway. The restaurant features all the staples of Texas barbecue - brisket, ribs, snappy pork sausage, turkey, and chicken - along with scratch-made sides such as smoked mac & cheese and, his signature dish, baked beans cooked with brisket and other meats. Berry has dedicated the restaurant to his son J.J., who passed away unexpectedly last year.

NADC Burger
If you’re OK with paying $16 for a smashburger, the first Fort Worth location of this national chain may be your new go-to for the popular thin-patty, crusty-edges burgers. Located downtown inside the Big Laugh Comedy Club at 604 Main Street, NADC, whose name translates to “Not a Damn Chance,” specializes in double-patty smashburgers made with Texas wagyu beef (hence their hefty price tag), American cheese, onions, pickles, and a special sauce. Fries cooked in beef fat cost extra and come two ways: plain with a side of chipotle ketchup or loaded with cheese, jalapenos, pickles, and sauce. The restaurant is a partnership between chef Phillip Frankland Lee, who co-founded Sushi by Scratch Restaurants and Pasta Bar, and professional skateboarder and Fort Worth entrepreneur Neen Williams.

Taste Community Restaurant
In the works for nearly two years, the Arlington spinoff of Fort Worth’s unique, nationally acclaimed pay-what-you-can restaurant recently opened at 200 N. Cooper St., in a cool 1920s building that used to house the city’s water department. Just as they do at the original location in the Near Southside, owners Jeff and Julie Williams offer high-quality global cuisine with fresh and seasonal ingredients to those affected by food insecurity, as well as the general public. Current menu items include a Korean beef bowl with braised beef short rib, rice, pickled carrots, daikon, green onions, and gochujang mayo; jollof rice, a West African rice dish made with tomatoes, chiles, ginger, and spices, and served with spicy roasted cauliflower, fried plantains, and pickled red onions; and a Mediterranean-inspired chicken sandwich made with whipped feta and olive tapenade. The restaurant is open only for lunch; breakfast hours may be added later.

Terrebonne’s
After running a well-loved Cajun restaurant in Colleyville called The Cajun Market, and after a stint serving out of Bourbon Street Bar and Grill in Bedford, Phil Tullis and his wife Debbie have landed in west Fort Worth, where they’ve opened this new lively Cajun restaurant in the old Chubby’s Burgers space at 7914 Camp Bowie W. Blvd. As he did at his previous locations, Tullis has seafood delivered from various parts of Louisiana, his home state, for dishes such as seafood gumbo, crawfish etouffee, and barbecue shrimp, the latter featuring huge prawns soaked in a housemade butter sauce. The restaurant offers many other Cajun and New Orleans classics, from po boy sandwiches to jambalaya to gumbo and meat pies. There are also crawfish, crab, and shrimp boils and platters of fried, grilled, and blackened catfish, red fish, red snapper, and grouper.
