Campo Verde recently got new owners. The Christmas lights are still a spectacle, but the menu has had some tweaks.

Campo Verde sits on a corner spot along Pioneer Parkway in Dalworthington Gardens, a small city tucked inside of Arlington and notable as being the motherland of the band Pantera and antsy cops on Bowen Road. A satellite dish the size of a Honda is perched on the roof of this colorful space, looking skyward, a hint of the time warp below.

About a decade ago, after my first visit to the spot, the term that stuck in my head was"kaleidoscope of crazy." And that shoe still fits like a red-bottomed, four-inch, knock-off Louboutin. From the aforementioned neon cheese to the decor, it is still a scene that would baffle even Mulder and Scully. However, things have recently changed a bit.The original owners retired, and when a new restaurateur stepped in, he did something most unexpected: he cleaned up the place.

Wood paneling and floral-patterned carpet serve as the canvas here, with what must surely be the original tables and chairs that were bought when the space opened 40 years ago. Christmas decor is then lacquered over everything. A bartender told us that starting in early October, one full-time employee does nothing but string lights and set up decorations. In early November, she was almost done. We watched her carefully consider every ornament she placed on a nearby three-foot tree.

Frozen margaritas are $6.95 for a 10-ounce; $12.95 for a 22-ounce. A 10-ounce beer is $4.95 and a pitcher is $16.95. During happy hour, everything is a dollar off. They have local beer on tap plus cans of Texas Ale Project's Pantera Golden Ale.
