CHILANGOS

Chilangos has expanded over the years with locations from downtown to Legacy Hall. Plus, they have a new location coming to Garland in 2025 too! It’s a hole-in-the-wall dive meets contemporary taco spot, and they're serving up fantastic street tacos and other fare. While you can’t beat any of the tacos they offer, the al pastor is unbeatable, as is the mushroom quesadilla. Make sure to order one of their freshly made aqua frescos or horchatas, we promise you will thank us later!

EL COME TACO

This place was one of the first places we ever went to in Dallas, and it was like discovering heaven. And four years later, El Come is still serving our favorite taco spots. Words that make us crave a taco: authentic, hole-in-the-wall, cheap, and, most importantly, family-owned. El Come is all that, and more. Order the Pollo a la Mexican and the el pastor with pineapple!

FUEL CITY

Fuel City is a car wash that, yes, is also one of the top taco spots in Dallas. Some Dallasites have long claimed that Fuel City is THE top spot. While waiting for your tacos, you can drive through the $5 car wash and take advantage of the free vacuuming service. After you pick up your tacos, you can hang out with the cattle out back while you eat.

MAMI COCO

At Mami Coco, you can get the street tacos for $1.99 or the tripa dorada for $2.50. Those prices cannot be beaten! They have lots of different meats to choose from including pork, beef tongue, chicken, and more. You can also get a burrito, flautas, and other classics if that's more up your alley!

RESIDENT TAQUERIA

Resident Taqueria takes a more modern approach to a taqueria with a menu that reflects a more vegetable-friendly crowd. Expect to find a fantastic cauliflower taco with kale, pepita, and aioli, and an out-of-this-world slow-cooked mushroom taco with queso, poblano, and almond salsa. They also have meat-heavy tacos that are great too!

Another spot with a taco that melts the cheese on the tortilla first -- Salsa Limon’s El Capitan taco is divine with its Oaxaca-Jack cheese, pickled cabbage, onion, cilantro, and your choice of meat. This Fort Worth favorite also serves breakfast tacos ALL day, and the horchata is the best we’ve had in Dallas!

Home of the non-greasy taco, Taco City y Mas has been a Trinity Groves favorite for years. Serving up Mexican classics like huaraches, flautas, and tostadas, this spot hits all the right notes.

TACO DELI

Two words describe why we love this Austin-based taco “deli:” breakfast tacos. And you can find them all over town as they sell to many coffee shops including, including Houndstooth and Merit Coffee, so if you can’t make it to Taco Deli in the morning, you can probably find their tacos at a coffee shop nearby!

TACOS LA BANQUETA

Ask any Dallas foodie who has been around long enough, and they will name Tacos La Banqueta as one of the best taco institutions in this city. It might not be the first place that catches your eye, but the tacos are phenomenal. Get the Cabeza, aka cow head meat, lengua, aka beef tongue, and suadero, aka a braised cut of meat with charred edges.

TACO Y VINO

Tacos and wine...ee couldn't name a better duo if we tried! This Bishop Arts spot is a crowd favorite offering a few seafood starters and create-your-own tacos and quesadillas. We love their 6 tacos and a bottle of wine deal, which is only $40. You can even mix and match their different meat offerings to experience different flavors. If you're looking for a delicious brunch, visit for their breakfast tacos on the weekend!

TAQUERIA LA VENTANA

One of Dallas’s gems set behind the historic El Fenix restaurant, La Ventana has a Miami-type vibe with hanging lights, colorful decor, and lively music.

There are several more locations now too, scattered around DFW - we love the one on Cedar Springs for its vibrant patio and murals!
