Cute taqueria off the side of the road (Lovell Ave) with about 3 picnic benches inside and 5 outside. Cash only. Tacos are $3.50 each w flour tortillas (they didn't ask if I wanted corn for my regular non-breakfast tacos). I had a chorizo & egg, barbacoa and chicharron. The barbacoa was outstanding - soft meat with no gristle fat or grease. The other 2 were pretty good as well. The green sauce is solid but I felt the red salsa was better - had a spicy kick though so be advised. This was going to be a 4* review but their horchata aguafresca put it over the top: strong flavor, not watered down, with a nice hint of cinnamon - one of the best I've had! read more

Good breakfast burritos for sure. Smaller but plenty of food for us. Fun little place! read more

Husband, son and I go there for asada gorditas. Always so delicious and tasty with the red salsa. Can't go wrong with a big Mexican coca . The lady's are nice too! read more

We love their pork taco plates with good beans. Good price, easy call in/pickup service.

Cute taqueria on the side of the road with a very authentic atmosphere! I liked the al pastor gordita, but my friends said the tacos were just okay as the tortillas didn't taste fresh. Solid value, but keep in mind they only take cash!!! read more

Melis Taqueria - Top: Asada Middle: Barbacoa Bottom: Pastor verde tomatillo salsa & hot habanero salsa - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Ordered Carne Asada(Steak) for the family. Ordered Tacos, Burritos, & a Torta. The meat was dried and subpar without flavor. Beans tastes as if they were from a can. Rice was ok. Which would have mattered if the price reflected the food ordered. Bit out order with two Tacos plates, one Torta plate, two burritos, three large Horchata's, and a bottled water...$73. Definitely not worth it. Would not recommend and will not be returning. So unfortunate, we seen the reviews and thought we found a jewel. read more

if i were to look up "hole in the wall" in a dictionary, i'm sure this place would pop up. When i put this place into my gps, it told me to take some weird residential streets lead me to a place that seemed desolate/run down. There were no cars parked in front, and for a second we thought it was closed. they have tables outside, but i don't think anyone uses them. On the inside, there's 1 or 2 tables. I think people typically pick up to go. i'm torn about this place, since i typically love hole in the walls, but one of the items i got just wasn't worth it. We ended up getting a breakfast burrito, gordita and a 3 taco plate. If i ended up only getting the breakfast burrito, i would have rated this place 4 stars. The breakfast burrito is really good, and i can see why people come here to get breakfast. However, for the 3 taco plate, it was 9 bucks, and it came with rice and beans and a small side of guac. I don't think the taco plate is worth it. i ended up getting al pastor, steak and carnitas. most of the meat were dry in the tacos, and the tacos just felt bare. Not too much going on with it. (you do get to pick between flour or corn tortilla) This place also reminds me of a small mexican market, as they sell other miscellaneous sweets and treats. this place is cash only, which is another reason i gave it three stars. read more

Ordered carne asada and it was NOT carne asada. 100% not carne asada. Dry. No flavor. Asked if they were street tacos. 100% not. Regular tacos. The only reason they got 2 stars is because the green salsa was delicious. Left the left over tacos in my car while I ran in somewhere and came back and my car smelled like a fart. Will not be returning. Nor do i recommend. read more

The food is always so good, fresh and hot and Delicious!!! I love this place. The only draw back is that they only take cash but it is so worth it. A friend showed me this place and I always tell people that don't mind just picking it up or eating outdoors. It's not a fancy place but a great place to eat. They are always friendly and welcoming and willing to give you a great meal. read more

The food tasted good. The service needs a lot of help very unprofessional person at the window and they don't take cards. You must use cash or some other type of money transfer. It looked pretty quiet when I got here. I was the only customer. read more

I love Melis and their food is always good to me, but there are some ways it could be better for others. The menu can be challenging to understand. The service is relatively quick as it's a taqueria stand. There are some benches to eat at which is nice. I'd recommend planning on getting your food to go and finding a nearby park to eat -- usually what I do. read more

We just had to get out a get a breakfast taco. After 4 unanswered phone calls we were about to give up. Glad we stuck it out. We ordered three bacon and egg breakfast tacos, a mexican coke and a regular coke. We hot both green sauce and red and both were excellent. Husband said red was hot as he finished what was left in his solo cup. Eggs are fluffy, bacon is crisp and tortillas are homemade. A must try! read more

Best place for tacos. Always fresh, great friendly service, natural setting outdoors.

Barbacoa is decent. Carnitas & pastor was dry with no flavor at all. Honestly I thought they gave me diced chicken instead of pastor but oh well Anyways I'm still hungry & out $20 read more

A true hole in the wall where a pleasant woman takes your order from a kitchen window that faces a small covered area. Limited, but there is open air seating. Cash only for these phenomenal and tasty, yet fairly inexpensive street tacos. There is a depth and complexity to Meli's that are not found elsewhere. I expect there is some secret family recipe that she has perfected over time -- the herbs and spices bring out the best. read more

Melis is awesome. Everything is made fresh and absolutely delicious. Also the burritos are huge.

My family loves authentic Mexican food and that's exactly what we found at Melis. Simple ingredients made from scratch tortillas and a sweet mom and pop place. I will be back. read more

I always love coming to this place. You literally walk up to the window on a back porch, order, pay cash, and walk way with the best "street" tacos around. YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP when the staff and majority of customers only speak Spanish and the place only accepts cash: EXCELLENT TACOS read more

One of the best taco/torta spots in FW! They are cash only which is a bit inconvenient but the food is definitely worth it. I've taken many people to try this hidden gem and everyone has enjoyed the food. read more

Amazingly flavorful authentic tacos at a great price. I'm working my way through the menu!

The gorditas were good but the tacos al pastor weren't that great. The green salsa was very spicy.

I graduated from TCU in 2013 and I lived off Hulen and Vickery at the time. My husband wanted to go find the taco place that we used to go to when I was going to TCU. We hadn't been back, and now we live in the North Fort Worth-Alliance Area. We were SO HAPPY to find it! We were so worried they knocked it down during the whole Chisholm Trail Parkway expansion but THEY DIDN'T and ITS STILL HERE! They added a patio deck that looks so good! Food is just as good, even BETTER than I remembered! I love the fact my go-to taco place is still there and I'm so proud that they have a patio area now! Keep up all the good work y'all and Fort Worth, GO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TACO PLACES! Sincerely, One Very Proud Taco Enthusiast read more

Excellent breakfast burritos with a welcoming staff. We tried a few different burritos and they were all spectacular. We'll definitely be back on a regular basis, read more

This is a delicious cash only place to get awesome breakfast tacos!! I love the chorizo and egg tacos!!

Two words, baby. Torta Pierna. If Angelo's chopped beef went to Mexico on vacation and came back with more than a tan, this is it!

Menudo. 2 stars because food used to be very good. Menudo tasted bland today plus this piece of metal in here. read more

Melis Taqueria - Menudo plus "extra toppings" - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

First off, CASH ONLY and tacos are $1.75 each now. Gotta love out of the way places. The funny thing, is that this place is not that far off of I-30, but unless you know it's there, you'd never know it's there. Clapboard, particle board scrap metal and faded painted signs let you know that Melis has been around for quite some time. I call it character. I love the menu, just all types of meat on a faded painted sign. I had so many choice between various beef, pork and chicken options. I'm sure all are good. I got barbacoa, chorizo and lengua tacos on corn tortillas and a side of rice and beans. As all street tacos around here, they come with onions and cilantro and a wedge of lime. The chorizo one had tomatoes as well and was actually my favorite of the three. I got the accustomary red and green salsas with the tacos. Both were great. The green was actually hotter. As for the rice and beans..... wow, the refried beans were CREAMY. So good. I don't know, I keep finding more and more taco places. Not sure when I will have the chance to revisit them. They are all inexpensive and all really good. I really haven't had to many bad tacos around here. They all have different varients to them and I've liked them all. I guess I will keep hunting them down. In Texas, there's no end in sight. Enjoy. read more

I really like this little spot. It's one step above a taco truck. They have some seating outside and on a little patio area, which is a little buggy but still comfortable. Their Barbacoa is to die for and their green salsa is great too. Not a fan of the red, too hot for me. But overall I enjoy this taco spot. Not my very most favorite but if I'm on this side of town this is probably where I would choose. I'd skip the rice and beans if I was you. Go with street tacos or a torta. read more

Food was really bad beans and rice had no taste and beef was hard and dry. I've drove by serval times usually hole in the wall place are the best. Sorry but not my thing. read more

Amazing breakfast tacos. Tortillas are perfection. If you are looking for a off-the-path joint this is THE spot!

I wish I had photos but I can never wait. Well mostly my husband can't wait so we dig in simultaneously. Between us, we've had everything on their menu. Bring cash. Humble little joint, very authentic. Nothing I wouldn't recommend. It's a small place with limited seats, so get it to go for a picnic! read more

The best in town!! 7am Burrito the is filling till Noon. Service is quick and efficient.

Absolutely love this place!!!! I am a local and this place is an absolute go to!!! Their service, ambiance, and food are all major factors and attributes of this place!! I absolutely love it and 100% recommend all i g ahead for efficiency purposes because it is worth getting up early nowadays to get and maintain that stellar breakfast that helps one take on the day that is fucking busy season!!!!! read more

Meli's Taqueria is such a hidden gem in Fort Worth! It's located on the side of W Vickery Blvd, quite a distance away from the little taquerias I usually frequent by the Northeast 28th St area. Even though it may seem a bit shabby on the outside and there is no formal seating, the tacos they sling out are more than enough to overshadow their outward appearance. The carnitas, dressed with lettuce and tomato, were tender and juicy. On the other hand, the pastor tacos were served with the traditional diced onions and cilantro and the marinated meat was packed with mouthwatering spices and flavors. If you're ever craving some street tacos on this side of town, Meli's Taqueria makes for a great pit stop for some tasty and affordable eats. read more

Melis Taqueria - Lengua and Carnitas tacos - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We buy the same thing every time and the price is always different yet even amount of cash.

If they would make their own tortillas I would definitely give them another star OR if they would give you enough salsas for the amount of tacos you order, there would be a 4th star. Attendant was very sweet, got the order right, and they are fast. Looks pretty dingy on the outside but it was busy, reasonably priced and the food is good. I only got 4 salsas and ordered 7 tacos and when I asked for extra, she told me they are $.25/each. These are definitely some of the better tacos I've had in Fort Worth, but the store bought tortillas keep them from being the best. Pastor was better than the carnitas (no flavor) and the breakfast tacos are all good. I recommend the potato egg and cheese! read more
