You can only get a Steak Finger Country Basket or a Hungr-Buster at a Texas Dairy Queen. The reason why goes back to a franchise owner who wanted his restaurants to offer local flavor.

In a category rife with parity, our insight served as the basis for a unique positioning strategy, and the slogan, “DQ, That's What I Like About Texas” was born. No other chain can stake a claim to DQ's favored son status, and it served as a point of true distinction for the brand in The Lone Star State.

The very first Dairy Queen was actually opened in Joliet, Illinois, even though the chain is so popular in Texas, it's literally known as “the Texas stop sign”.

Texas is loco for tacos and at a Dairy Queen near you, we have the fix! We start with a crunchy corn tortilla, and then fill it with fresh ground beef, spiced to perfection. We then pile on the crisp lettuce, juicy diced tomatoes, and freshly grated cheddar cheese.

Tex-Mex tacos are usually made with a soft flour tortilla or crunchy corn shell, while Mexican tacos are almost always made with soft corn tortillas. No matter how you dip your tortilla chip, Tijuana Flats believes in Tex-Mex For All and satisfies our guest's craving for bold Tex-Mex flavors!

Although DQ soft-serve products are the same no matter where you go throughout the U.S. and Canada, Texas DQ locations have their own unique food system, Texas Country Foods, which the rest of the country does not offer. The DQ Chicken Strip Basket was developed in Texas.

Texas ranks fourth nationally in milk production. Texas dairy delivers: A $50.3 billion economic impact (direct and indirect). $1.6 billion in local and state taxes and $2.5 billion in federal taxes.

Happy Tastes Good The DQ brand has launched a new tagline - Happy Tastes Good - which exemplifies the heart of the quick-service company.

These details are so central to the Texas DQ experience that it would be jarring to cross over our border into Arkansas, stop at the DQ on Magnolia's Main Street, and see only chicken fingers - no steak! - accompanied by the numbingly banal tagline “Happy Tastes Good.”

Dairy Queen brought their frozen treats to Texas in 1947, making it a part of the Lone Star State for 75 years. Originally from Illinois, DQs in Texas have something that makes them all unique. Each Dairy Queen is individually owned and operated by Texans.

The Mexican restaurants in Texas started adding more ingredients preferred by Texans to accommodate their tastes, resulting in what we call today “Tex-Mex.” Examples of Tex-Mex food include fajitas, nachos, and any dish that uses beef, black beans, canned vegetables, wheat flour, or yellow cheese.

The Tex-Mex meaning can be most simply summed up by the different types of ingredients used. Tex-Mex recipes feature the use of chili powder, a savory mix of ground chile peppers with spices including cumin, oregano, and black pepper. Alternatively, Mexican recipes call for chile peppers, not the chili seasoning blend.
