With Over 200,000 Lights, Campo Verde Is The Most Festive Restaurant In Texas

Everything is bigger here in Texas, and the holiday season is surely no exception. People often drive by Campo Verde in Arlington without so much as batting an eye, but more than 200,000 lights adorning the building make this tiny Mexican eatery the most festive restaurant in Texas.

Beginning in October, this unassuming Mexican restaurant transforms into an extravagant winter wonderland. It's become such a popular spectacle that the lights remain on until March!

Owner James Williams ups the ante each year, with over 200,000 glittering bulbs adorning every inch of the restaurant this season. The display has received many accolades, including being featured in local newspapers several times.

In addition to the lights, you'll also see 3,000 yards of garland, 50 Santa Clauses, and 30 Christmas trees. This place gives Clark Griswold a run for his money!

Take your time deciding where to sit, as each section is an entirely different scene. Whether you'd prefer to dine next to Rudolph or a hardworking elf, rest assured there's an open seat.

Nothing quite compares to enjoying a nice meal amidst dazzling lights covering your entire field of vision. Filling your cup with holiday cheer is effortless in a place like this.

Not many light displays have food readily available, so this is a pleasant deviation from the norm. It's impossible to go wrong with a big plate of Tex-Mex favorites!

Address: 2918 West Pioneer Parkway, Arlington, TX 76013. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday & Saturday.

You can head over to the restaurant’s website or Facebook page for additional information about the festivities.
