The worst customer service received from the older woman owner of the establishment. Very rude and aggressive with her language towards customers. read more

El tacaso is open 24hrs I've never been there at night but I love going early on a Sunday to reverse the effects of a Saturday night I've eaten here a couple times but mostly to go It's a small simple dining room. Clean and quiet except for the sound of the ladies toiling away in the kitchen... Their breakfast burritos are stuffed with copious amounts of eggs and your choice of fillings We go all the way Chorizo potatoes cheese bacon Go big or go home amirite? Everything is made to order so don't show up without calling in the order first if you're in a hurry They're always friendly and they're bilingual so we gringos can feel comfortable ordering the authentic Tex mex I haven't had their dinner menu but if it's as good as the breakfast, you'll be good to go Will continue to frequent this place because there's a lot Of Saturday nights to come read more

Okay so El Tacaso basically has me in a chokehold right now. I've visited 3 times already in one week & don't regret it one bit. I first came here on Labor Day after a high energy pool party & needed something to fill my stomach quick. I'm unsure if the inside is ever open because each time I've came you could only order at the window. Each visit I've ordered their $8.99 taco combo with Barbocoa tacos on corn tortillas, rice & beans & a nice cold drink! I like that they aren't stingy with their meat & topping's; however, I would recommend that they use two tortillas for the corn tortillas. About time I'm home & ready to dive in they fall apart as I'm picking them up. Other than that the meal does what it's supposed to & that's to make me happy & off to sleep. Now don't expect some fancy tex-mex place. You're gonna get authentic tacos that you will crave all the time at almost midnight. Just get the good cheap eats & go on your way! read more

Great Food. This little gem is an Oak Cliff hidden secret spot. They have great tacos, gorditas and guisados. We've eaten here many times over the years and it's still really good. I highly recommend read more

My parents used to bring me when I was a kid, the place looks different but the service is AWFUL! There's always a cashier with long hair in a ponytail and she's extremely rude to costumers, always has an attitude, even to the elderly and gets the order wrong. I used to love coming here but honestly it's not worth it anymore. Mis padres me traían de niña, el lugar de se differente pero el servicio está PÉSIMO! Siempre hay una cajera con el cabello largo en un chongo y ella es muy grosera con los clientes, siempre tiene una mala actitud, hasta con la gente mayor y de paso no toma bien la orden. Me encantaba venir pero la verdad ya no vale la pena. read more

Ordered food for a pool party. It was SO good! The beef and chicken are perfectly cooked with great flavor. Bring the flavor up a notch with their green sauce. I like mine spicy! The guacamole a la mexicana is wonderful! My guests LOVED everything! Thank you El Tacaso! read more

I stopped for breakfast. I ordered breakfast tacos with hashbrowns and beans. They quickly prepared my food and brought it out to my table. It was delicious. I recieved a rather huge portion for just $11.00. I was able to package up the rest and take it to work. The environment was laid back and the place had a homely, intimate feel. read more

El Tacaso - My quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place used to be so much better. Not really sure what happened but we stopped by today to eat and we were very disappointed. The Gorditas were very greasy and filled with burnt fajita. The rice & beans were cold. I paid for guacamole and got a chunk of avocado. My husband spat his food out it was that bad. The soda machine needed to be replaced because all the drinks tasted bad. They deserved zero stars and that's sad because it used to be my favorite place. read more

Great authentic Mexican food Lots of flavor n very consistent. High demand, always busy, so there is always a little bit of a wait. Cleanness -needs improvement. Friendly staff n courteous. read more

The best tacos! I've gone to a lot of places . Between this place and Fitos-best tacos!

I'm giving a 5 star because the food is good, but the customer service could be better....I've been coming to this location for 10+ years and when the older women were there they were patient and so nice now that the younger ones are employed they have no manners...they need to be more attentive to the orders, make sure the order are correct, update the website to reflect changes such as the prices, separate the orders/prices instead of one card for all orders, and remember the customer is always right, don't be argumentative....after paying over $60 dollars it will be a while before coming back for those reasons after today 2/10/22 so maybe changes will be in effect. read more

The food is delicious besides the hair on my plate and poor customer service. I will not come back again. Please wear hair nets. Be prepared to wait 30 minutes or longer for your food. They forgot my pancake and I asked for it 15 minutes later no pancake. We got up and left. Will not be returning read more

First time here for breakfast, place is open 24 hr. which I didn't know. Very few people in there, the lady behind the counter was quick to take my order. Wait time was about 8 minutes for my 3 breakfast tacos and a gordita. Chorizo con papas taco was very good, the gordita de rajas con queso is bomb. I would recommend this place if you are in the area and looking for some authentic Mexican tacos. What was a bummer is that they only had one sauce in my plate while mostvplages offer two options for salsa. Idk if the lasy just gave me the two of the same kind but yeah. read more

24 hours and on my way to work? I'm eating too many tacos. Tacos are $1.25, then about $2 with cheese. So far every time I go, I get one more than I did before. This morning I got four. Two chorizo and two barbacoa. Both with eggs and cheese . Total was just under seven bucks. Both were amazing. My to-go bag came with two hot sauces, plenty of cilantro, and a couple limes. The building is fairly clean on the inside and there's a whiteboard with all of the rotating specials. Service is very friendly, though sometimes hard to understand. If you get there too early, the lobby won't be open and you have to order at a walk-up window. Not sure when this cutoff is, but it looks to be around 7am. Coffee is alright. Not amazing, but inexpensive and better than some of the surrounding donut shops. There's lunch specials and plate deals that I have yet to try, but maybe one these days I'll pull away from the flour tortilla tacos and try one. read more

Delicious food and outstanding customer service! Mark and his wife came out to cater for an event I had, I can't express enough how unbelievably good the food and display was! I honestly couldn't have chosen anyone better, and would highly recommend them. Thank you guys! read more

The Avocado Tostadas are Excellent. Especially if your vegetarian. My husband raves about their beef fajita torta. We take out at least once a week! Customer service speaks Spanish but if your not Spanish speaking they'll work with you (you can point at the picture too). Lol read more

I've come 3 times. First time was alright. Last two times I got food from here (including today) I got the shits. And I'm not one to get sick in the stomach easily. That's all I'm gonna say read more

I rarely write reviews here. But I had to make an exception in this case for the worst breakfast experience I have ever had in Dallas. I live less than a mile from El Tacaso and I have stopped in for tacos in the past and they have been very good. This morning I went in and placed a to go order at 7:05 for huevos rancheros overeasy and 4 breakfast tacos to bring back home for the family. I speak Spanish but the man working spoke English to me so I ordered in English. He wasn't friendly but he didn't really seem friendly to anyone so I didn't think much of it at first. After 40 minutes, I finally got my order. Four different groups of people who all ordered after I did had all gotten their food first. Several had already had time to eat it and leave. It appears that they didn't even start making my food until they made the food of everyone else who came in after me. I was not happy about it, but I finally had the food and took it home. The tacos were ok. I am conscious of the fact that my experience with the ridiculously horrible service may have affected how I thought the food tasted. So when I say that the tacos were "ok", maybe they were great and I was just upset at the way I had been treated. The eggs, however, were not overeasy. It is not difficult to slightly miss the mark on overeasy so that the yolk is not very runny. These eggs were so overcooked that I needed a knife to cut the yolk. I don't know why I was treated so poorly. I was the only white customer this morning, so that may have been a factor. Or maybe they just have a policy of always cooking the orders for people who are going to eat there before those of anyone who orders to go? Who knows? What I know is that I will never be back. Fortunately, there are many other great places in Oak Cliff to get breakfast tacos. read more

For anyone that does not know EL Tacaso is owned by the same people as Fuel City Tacos in downtown dallas City View Tacos in Duncanville and many other Tacos stands that they have around dallas mostly inside gas stations read more

The service was fast and friendly; professional. The atmosphere was chill and restaurant was clean! There was a variety of menu choices; priced inexpensively. Food was good, and everything that was ordered by myself and family was fresh. read more

Terrible customer service. My dad and I stopped to grab some food on the way home. The woman at the window had an attitude towards my dad and then towards me. My dad asked her a simple question and she got annoyed. I was trying to order my food and my sisters and she couldn't understand me. I was speaking English and had to speak Spanish and she still couldn't understand me? She was speaking Spanish, how does she not understand it? Not only that but they got some of our items incorrectly and they were very unprofessional. I had to intervene between that woman and my dad because she was just horrible. No proper communication skills. Also, the food was so and so but not the best so we're definitely not coming back. read more

Just went there to order to go tacos with beans and rice. I sat at the table waiting for my order when she brings me out a plate. I told her my order was to go and she rolls her eyes at me. She also forgot to add beans and rice and I got more attitude about that. When I paid with a $20.00 she made a big deal about it cause she didn't have change. I asked for salt packets to go and she said they were out. When I got home my tacos were all over the place. Beans and rice were mixed together. The corn taco shell was wet and mushy. Not worth the $14.00 I was charged for four tacos, beans and rice and a drink. Save yourself your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Ordered bacon and egg breakfast tacos to go. Service was terrible as the lady taking our order was rude and abrupt. Paid and after waiting an inordinate amount of time I asked about the tacos and they had been sitting there for a while. If the tacos had been good all would have been forgiven but they were poorly served and we were given two small portion cups of salsa for 6 tacos. Definitely will not be back as there are plenty of taquerias in the area with better food and much better service. read more

The food was good but the customer service wasn't so great. The lady who took our order gave us the wrong drink and when my boyfriend asked her if she could fix it she got an attitude and charged him for the other drink AND kept our original drink. Don't know if I'd go back. read more

Cookers are really distracted had to drive back because they had messed up my order , and it wasn't only one time no it was multiple times. And the waiters have a really bad attitude towards the customers. read more

Came here because of the high ratings but was severely disappointed! Apparently no one knows how good fajita tacos are supposed to be made anymore! Meat was not finely chopped, but chunks of meat that were unevenly cooked due to the varying sizes. Not enough onion and cilantro. Ordered 10 tacos and was given a spoonful of onions and a spoonful of cilantro. Ugh! Don't get me started on the runny salsa and that they only had one mild option. By far one of the worse fajita tacos I have had! If any of the people that gave this place rave reviews really want to know what a GOOD fajita taco/authentic mexican food tastes like, look up the Los Altos De Jalisco taqueria. I regret not making the trip up there and instead stopping at this place just because it was on my way.... read more

Great values, good food. Service terrible, employees slow and rude. Value goes only so far. Poor service cannot always outweigh good food.

I ordered my usual. A bacon and egg taco with potatoes on a flour tortilla. The hot sauce is homemade and almost worth the trip.

The only place I trust to get real barbacoa tacos. They don't just try to pass off shredded beef as barbacoa. I've yet to find their equal in the area. And I've done plenty of looking! read more

I LOVE IT!!!! Flautas/Gorditas/Guiso are AMAZING!!!!! They have $5 plates Mon-Fri 11am-2pm

Best mexican style tacos i have had in a while!! highly recommend it!! service and atmosphere are great!!! prices are decent and menus has a great range in variety read more

Seriously the best breakfast tacos! Potatoe & Egg, Chorizo & Egg, Bacon & Egg. If your looking to enjoy some great homemade style breakfast tacos. This is the place, look no further. FYI this isn't a place to sit down and eat, it's really small. I always call and place the order for pick up. That's what the majority of people do. Avoid Sunday's or call ahead and give them some time because it gets packed. read more

Place is just all around terrible & gross. Always getting my order wrong, always rude & unprofessional! Definitely won't ever be back. Don't waste your time, it's not worth the drive or the x amount of money they're gonna charge you to wait over an hour & get your order wrong cause someone who doesn't know a lick of English tried to take your order in English like if you don't look more Mexican than them. read more

Great homemade mexican food for a good price. Friendly and fast service plus the horchata is amazing
