Awesome pastor tacos! I don't live near this area at all yet it's a must stop whenever I'm around the area. Very close by to Love Field airport so great place to bring friends and family before or after their flight read more

Just an awesome tacqueria. Very updated and stylish. This was a novel experience for me and there were three lessons I wish I knew before starting. So, pay attention to the #'s if you want to learn before you order. Started with a small cup of a soupy black beans. Too watery for my tastes, but great flavor. #1) They don't give the standard free chips. Didn't realize that until after the meal, so consider ordering guacamole & chips as a starter. We didn't figure this out so we would up ordering them after everything was finished. We reversed the typical order. #2) The tacos come out VERY plain. You add the options from a little cart on every table. I thought that "with queso" meant melted cheese sauce so I avoided it. It was actually melted shredded cheese which should come on almost every taco. So order it with queso! It's not the watery stuff. #3) They have fantastic agua fresca!! The mango is to cry for. Go ahead, order this. Don't get the boring iced tea or the common place soda. read more

Price/Taste Ratio = Great Authentic and Quick. This is a place to go to for real Mexican food without having to go to a food truck or hole in the wall. There are so many things to try, so make sure to get your favorite Mexican dish. The tostadas de Tinga will forever be the personal go to. The nachos appetizers are good but I would definitely try something else as they are basically mini tostadas and not really nachos. Black bean soup is complimentary and a great touch. read more

Chilaquiles are my favorite in the mornings for breakfast and the sopes are good too.

Just had breakfast here and had such a bad experience. I'm getting my oil changed so I walked to get some food here and my bf got the choriqueso which was pretty good and I ordered a torta and told the server no tomato jalapeño and onion but they did not write it down just looked at me and then I get my torta and it only has beans and chicken no avocado and no cheese. So they had to bring it back to me twice and it was still not good the chicken had now taste and the server kept rolling their eyes at me. It was the worst experience and honestly there's better Mexican food places in Dallas. Also the server never apologized both times he took the food back ! read more

Good authentic Mexican food. Their grilled chicken tacos and nachos are excellent and they have several tasty frozen margarita flavors with a generous amount of tequila. Their fresh guacamole tastes nice and they also serve fresh cilantro, limes, and salsa at the table. Their service is always good and friendly. The restaurant is clean with good natural light and they play upbeat background music. read more

It was fine, the food wasn't bad. I'd rather go to a taco truck and get something exciting and full of flavor. The price is very reasonable here but the service is mid and the food is basic. read more

Place is very quiet and very good. Can't go wrong with a good taqueria! Place is really cheap for really good food. Fairly new place and really clean. This restaurant is authentic with what it offers. Lots of different options, but food does not come in large quantities. So if you're looking for a large quantity meal, I wouldn't recommend, but I do recommend to try because it's good! read more

Tacos were great, they don't have queso if that's what you're looking for. They give you black beans as an appetizer and the salsa is spicy.

The location on marsh lane is fuckin amazing! Beautiful women. Very polite, food is great I love this place !! I love the people!

Love this place! Everything on the menu is amazing, but the best item in my personal opinion are the chicken and potato flautas....outstanding. Second favorite item is the tacos al pastor. Busy place, service is good, staff is friendly even when rushing. read more

Out for a free thursday nite at the Meadows museum and needed a Tex Mex fix. The first place was packed and couldnt get in the parking lot. So thru my trusty and trusted Yelp app I found El Tizoncito. Great Find. Its so refresing to get a nice plate of food without paying 18 dooars. It seems no matter the quality thesse days everyone is trying to squeze every penny out of a meal. The refresing and reasonably priced El has a great menu of tacos, tortas, botanas etc at great prices. The best part? Its alla tasty good! I had an order of 4 pork tacos for lesss than 9 bucks. My companion had 3 very large flautas dressed deliciosly and beautifull for about the same price. The surroundings arnt fancy but comfortable. I recommend you by pass the two well known places down the street and give these guys a shot. read more

El Tizoncito provided exactly what I needed: great Mexican food to go within close proximity to Love Field after 10pm. The Pollo y Papa Flautas were delicious. Delightfully light and crunchy, and topped with generous portions of Mexican cheese, crema, lettuce and avocado slices. And the salsa was dynamite! Bonus: my order also came quickly. read more

I enjoy my El T's every morning for last 3 years because of the finest Latin food/drinks and best customer service.....Grazie ! Antonio read more

This is one of my go to spots whenever I come to Dallas to get me a strawberry mango margarita and some tacos... Located in the shopping center near hospital just in case you overload on chips .. guac .. and queso lol If you need chill place and good food to just chat then check them out ! I've only have frozen drinks there so I can tell you how their other drinks are but the frozen drinks are good cheap !! read more

Bean soup was great... that's all we were ever given with the poor customer service we received. A bus boy handed us some soups off the counter and we were never ever greeted after that. Multiple waiters stood and watched the soccer games never asked us if we wanted any water something to drink, an appetizer, or meal. Even the cooks and all the people in the photos never once helped us. It wasn't until we stood up to walk out 45 minutes later they decided to make any eye contact with us. Customer service is key. I work in this field and it's just not acceptable, especially when this many people were standing around. read more

Great authentic food! I love the food here. The ladies that have served me have spoken Spanish. Luckily I've had a Spanish speaking friend with me every time. Get the horchata! You won't be disappointed. read more

The micheladas here are super solid, I like mine with a Modelo, and it was deliciously refreshing with just the right amount of kick to it. I ordered the tacos meal, and it came out really fast and tasted really solid. The small cup of beans they give to everyone is also really good. This is a really great modern quick service establishment with authentic taste and flavor. I did think the rather loud 90s American pop music was an odd choice, but that's a matter of preference. read more

Elena is the best...!!! Always so attentive and knows the menu and what my family may want! Super good!!!

Great food and fantastic service from Mardiel! I'll definitely be back for the chicken nachos and mango margarita!

The food is delicious, the portions are huge and the prices are more than fair. We ordered the menudo - savory and spicy! It included plenty of hominy and I loved that the meat was cut up in small pieces. I think it had a hint of sweetness which I'm not a fan of but delicious nonetheless. As usual, it came with oregano, onions, cilantro, jalapeño and your choice of bread or tortillas. We ordered the cebollitas preparadas and they were so good! Salty and limey. We ordered the rajas - the veggies on this one were too crunchy for me. The rajas themselves were pretty much uncooked. The flavor was still good but not real rajas that I was looking for. Then we ordered two sopes - BEWARE! Sopes are the size of pancakes! A great problem to have but just keep that in mind since it's hard to reheat them after they have crema and lettuce on top. Will be back, will order less food though. read more

Me and my family's go-to Mexican restaurant. I have yet to try something from here that is bad. This is authentic good Mexican food. The service is great. Kinda upset that now over the years more and more people go and it gets more and more packed on the weekends, but this place is great. Open pretty late on the weekends, so I know its a place lots of young people go after the bar/club. Their service is always great, the cocktails are some of the best. read more

The mangorita is really good! However, I don't know what style Mexican this is but they don't give you chips and salsa, they give you black bean soup, which was still yummy! I ordered the Parrillada Tizon. It was one of each meat taco on corn tortilla, small dish of guacamole and a cheese quesadilla. The tacos were very plain and dry, even though I used the complimentary cilantro, onion, lime and hot sauce generously. Overall dissatisfied by the entree. read more

Amazing brisket tacos! My fav! Mango water... superb! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

OMG, the best menudo in town. You're going to get the same taste every time. You will not be disappointed!!!

I love their menudo on the weekends. It is just like mom used to make. It's a big bowl with all the condiments if you want them.

Wonderful place to eat the choriqueso is great! Thank you so much. Every time I eat here I love it!

La carne era recalentada, me tocó una quesadilla de pastor muy desabrida. Además de que tardaron mucho en preparar la comida. Aunque fueron muy amables. read more

awesome authentic mexican food. A great place for any occasion. this location in specific is great for any outing with friends or family. Pastor tacos are 10/10 and so is the soup! read more

This place raises their prices every 6 months. It's gotten out of hand. You can literally follow the progression with the menus posted here in yelp. I've stopped coming here altogether as it's now priced against the top Mexican food places in town. read more

We went last night for dinner. I ordered beef flautas and a chicken taco on the side. I was brought a plate with 3 beef tacos. We brought it to the servers attention and shortly after received 1 chicken taco with just chicken and a corn tortilla. We then let her know we still had the wrong order as we ordered the flautas not the tacos. She didn't apologize for the error and just charged us for both orders read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in, but I left feeling full and satiated. Things I liked: -The complimentary black bean soup! It's delicious, and I always like to start off with something that warms my stomach. -Great pricing! It was $7.50 for 4 standard size pastor tacos! Cheaper than average for equal, if not better taste. Great for grad students who are short on money (like me). -Good vibe for small or medium size group gatherings. Things I didn't like as much: -There isn't the bottomless chips and dip that many other places have, although it was not a personal problem for me -- one order of chips was cheap and combined with the tacos was more than filling. Overall I had a great experience. The staff are friendly and eager to help with menu choices. I will definitely be coming back! read more

After living practically above this place for about year and a half. I finally walked down there one Saturday morning to try the menudo and it was a big bowl of spicy goodness loaded with meat and hominy very satisfying definitely will eat again. read more

Ah man this was a neat find. Instead of chips and salsa on the table there was a half shell of baked cheese. You break it and munch on the salty yumminess while you decide what to get. I coulda eaten 12. I recommend the Chuleta (pork chop) con queso, either as a taco or Alambre. The table has a rounder of ramekins with cilantro, onion, limes and sauces to finish off your selection just to your liking. One table mate had the chicken tacos, which were disappointing...but honestly it was chicken so what do you expect?!?...and the Pastor which were super yummy. A friend across the table had one of the sandwiches, with homemade bread which was reported to be very light, delicate and full of flavor. I woulda tried it but the "friend" didn't offer. We aren't friends anymore. As a finisher the flan is creamy, tasty and light. Perfect. read more

Their tacos were the best items I tried. I've had almost everything else on the menu. I like the platter with different types of tacos and one cheese quesadilla. The hotcha was super good but a little too sweet. They give you a bean soup thing at first. The flan is super rich and dense. It must be shared with other people. read more

Impressed! Came on a Saturday around 4pm and it was perfect cause there was no wait. Location is in a okay area, no issues with parking and very clean. Hostess and waitress were attentive, polite and always checking on us if there was anything needed. The only issue I came across that I am not a big fan of is that there are no refills on your drink as your option is either a can or bottle. The other thing I was disappointed on was that they do not serve complementary chips and salsa. My rating did not reflect these two bad things cause there service was great and there food was spectacular. The tacos were not greasy, they were warm and very very good. They do complement your party with a bowl of beans a piece so I guess that makes up for it if you like beans. Overall my party was very happy with the quality of food and service. read more

EXCELLENT. I am a super fan of mexican street tacos, and these are AUTHENTIC. You have to love food that is a) delicious b) does not break the bank. They serve their tacos with warm tortillas and just the meat on the tacos, with all the essential sides on the side (such as cilantro, onions, pineapple for pastor, and sauces). I was craving for a place making good pastor that included pineapples and this place gave what I needed. I will be back! read more

I always order the chicken nachos with the green salsa and they are unbelievably good! They also have a delicious mango margarita! The black beans they give you before your meal are so tasty. I have been to this restaurant 3 times this week and I just can't get enough of the great service, friendly people, and delicious food! read more
