    Parrillada tizoncito - sampler taco place - very good
    David F.

    After a hard day of work, this little place had a lot to offer. Open late, fast and friendly service, not fancy at all but good food. Had their Parrillanda (sampler) plate - $15 - 4 tacos in a variety plus a quesadilla and some guac. Great selection when you dont want to make a decision. Tacos were very good - authentic - tasty and fast. Chips/salsa (the bellwether of all mexican restaurants) was excellent! I recommend this place for sure.

    We came here as a spur of the moment. A quick bite to eat and out the door we went. Their tacos were good (my usual go to - Pastor Tacos) but the flan definitely hit the spot. The service was subpar. I think he was annoyed with us and couldn't wait for us girls to leave. He mentioned some drinks to my friend, which she went with and unfortunately it was the most disgusting thing we tasted. Otherwise, tacos after a night out. You can't ever say no too.

    This little hole in the wall may be some of the best food I have had in a while. The service was great! Not overwhelming or hovering, but kept an eye on us and cleared the table as we steadily cleared through our dishes. It's so hard to find good food that's open super late- and isn't fast food. My boyfriend and I often share every meal so we can taste everything... and this is the first time our insatiable greed has overruled an unspoken rule. Absolutely delicious and can't recommend it enough!!! Can't wait to come back soon

    I was in the mood for tacos and el tizoncito didn't disappoint. The food and service was really good. You can't go wrong with the alambre or the tacos. Agua de mango and michelada comes highly recommended. Guacamole was on point as well. I will definitely go back to try out other dishes. My wife daughter and I left very happy. Thanks tizoncito.

    We came here on a hot summer day and we were pleasantly surprised of how good the food was. From the cold and perfectly sweetened horchata to the tacos, everything tasted amazing. Definitely get the pastor tacos with cheese, bacon and jalapeños grilled, personally I prefer to add quite a bit of the lime juice to cut through the meatiness and cheese, and also top with cilantro onions and the red salsa. Red salsa is much spicier than the green one. Both are really good. If I can ask for one more thing, I would just wish that they didn't keep the cilantro out for too long. You can tell when cilantro sits out and start to dry up and get wilted. Our waitress was very attentive and food came out within 10 minutes. The complimentary black bean soup was flavorful and light. Would definitely go back often!

    Visiting the DFW and found this place. Prompt service. Food was great. I had the Parrillada Tizon, my wife had the Gringa and my son had the chicken quesadilla. All of it was delicious! Salsas were amazing and spicy. Mangorita was pretty dang good too. Overall was very good and will definitely eat here again.

    The location of this place is a shopping center, so there's quite a bit of parking! I'm going to be honest this place doesn't look like much, but boy is everything top tier! Although, the staff mainly speaks Spanish they were all so kind and patient. The bathroom was clean. Anytime the stove/kitchen are visible it gives me a certain level of comfort because I can see the food being prepared! I ordered street tacos with corn tortillas and steak, so yummy! I ended up ordering 4 more... My mojito was perfect! And I ended up ordering another one of those as well... Although this place looks quite humble, I highly highly recommend it! I'll definitely be back

    It's one of those nights when you are on the prowl For good authentic tacos and finally found one not too far from home. With all the great review we read on yelp we ended up here. Plenty of parking and only a few people sitting inside. It's a small place with several tables and 3 wait staffs. Our server was very nice and offers great services. We were served with a black beans bowl complimentary to your meal orders. A condiment trey comes with limes , hot and mild sauce , cilantro and onions. We ordered a tamarind/guava/mango margarita with salt rims around the glass that was full of tropical flavors. Also ordered the signature overnight brisket dishes and a couple of soft tacos which was amazing and delicious. Price are reasonable and affordable with great drinks . Services are good also. Would come Back again

    The menudo they made for us since they ran out. My husband enjoy and it is spicy and well flavored.
    Tyra G.

    Excellent service! This is a taco house so don't be surprised. You get the best black bean soup you will ever eat and delicious condiments when you sit down. They ran out of menudo when my husband got there but they were kind and made sure we got a small bowl after our dinner because she heard we came there specifically for the menudo. My husband loved it but just a warning that it is spicy. The street tacos were amazing and I highly recommend the green salsa. Red is good but hot.

    Made our reservations for 4 via OpenTable. Your seating choice is apparently misleading because we…read moreselected "standard" seating thinking that would be the dining area. It's definitely different than sitting in the bar section in very small tables and booths next to the bar. I would never choose to sit in the tables in the bar area. Unfortunately, as our luck would have it, whenever we select the standard seating, we tend to be sat in the small bar tables. This time I asked them to move us. They accommodated us (there were two large booths available in the main area), but the attitude was not great in doing so. The bar seating issue is enough to make me think about whether I want to go there again. Our server, Madison, was great. She was helpful, friendly, communicated well, and let us set the pace. Started with cocktails, which was an interesting experience, because the bar had some difficulties and so each of four drinks was brought out one at a time with a few minutes in between each. Not a huge deal but weird. Enjoyed a couple of wedge salads, which were nice. For entrées, one couple shared the flat iron steak, which they both enjoyed. The crabcake and fillet special was very good. The fried pork rustica was excellent. It's a lot of pork, but I would recommend it.

We weren't too hungry last night so we had appetizers. The crab dip and crab cake, garlic bread and voodoo sauce, trust me you must try it! I've had the fish and chips, shrimp and grits in the past all very tasty! I love the rotation of the specials and can't wait to bring my parents there next month when they come to visit! Please stay consistent!! Definitely a restaurant to add to the rotation!

I tried my best to get the mystery ingredients from one of the cashiers, but she held strong lol.

I expected to be able to sit down inside with my family and was pretty disappointed that the entire sitting area was blocked off and they're only allowing to go and take out orders. I waited about 35 minutes for two plates of food and spent $71 which I thought was way toooo pricey for just two plates. The soulful bowl with brisket was okay, the brisket wasn't super flavorful, the mac & cheese was a bit too salty and I had high hopes for the yams but they were pretty dry. The catfish and shrimp plate was also below expectations as the shrimp batter was falling off (not fried long enough) and the catfish was a bit fishy. Also I had to beg for cocktail and tartar sauce and got a little attitude when I asked for them. All around not the best experience and don't think I'll be making it back.

A Wednesday night with the place less than 1/3 full, so it was relatively quiet for this type of restaurant and decent for conversation. Eventually one guy had his entree' Caesar salad served, which he finished before the next dish arrived. A few more came sporadically over another 15 minutes, the rest arrived in bursts like it should. The food arrived in the all too common practice of showing up tableside as the staff holds it above eye level while shouting "WHO HAD THE blah blah?", instead of using an order seating system and just quietly serving it without having to shout at everyone up and down a long table 16 to 30 times. Personally, this type of dinner service really bothers me as it shatters any ambiance the place may have had, and kills conversation. It shows the wait and kitchen staff lack training and organization skills, but worse, that they have no concept of what dining out is, or should be. This isn't the Catfish Shack guys, get a grip. Unfortunately, I ordered the Cobb Salad which was sub par made with hamburger toppings, factory diced iceberg lettuce, diced tomato, diced egg, diced avocado, with all appearances of being shaken out of a bag, unfortunately with the wrong dressing. Dressing was on the side, thankfully, so that was fixable by flagging staff and waiting another ten minutes. It might have been resolved faster had waitstaff asked how is everything??? The Cobb was 75% of an entree serving but more than enough given what it was. A friend had the glazed salmon and rice which looked very good, other entrees looked fair, some of generous proportion. Unfortunately , as this is a larger restaurant with nice covered patio seating, it is possibly the worst of the lot as Preston/121 location is top notch in comparison. It is in need of decent management, perhaps to train/retrain the whole staff. Rather disappointing. I have no desire to return to this location.
