What a find! This place is delicious! The gauc is soooo good. While we like our gauc a little chunky this one is more creamy but it's so good. It's a little spicy and has lots of citrus. The bfast tacos are also soooo good (I'm at a loss of words, lol). read more

So here's the thing. I've been to Tacodeli down in Austin several times now, and as is documented in my reviews of those locations, I honestly wasn't a fan especially when you compare the chain's tacos to some of the wonderful options in Dallas and Austin alike. The Dallas location of Tacodeli mimics the Austin locations brilliantly, and arguably even improves on many of those locations with more floorspace and a great contemporary location. Even so, I still don't really think the tacos at Tacodeli really compete with some of the elite tacos in Dallas like Good 2 Go (http://www.yelp.com/biz/good-2-go-taco-dallas), Velvet (http://www.yelp.com/biz/velvet-taco-dallas?osq=Velvet+Taco), and Come (http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-come-taco-dallas). Bottom line? If you absolutely love Tacodeli down in Austin you will be smitten with the new Dallas location. If not, or if you've never been to a Tacodeli, you might be more inclined to agree with my A-OK marking here. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? As I touched on, the Dallas Tacodeli location is brilliant, with abundant floorspace and a streamlined and friendly service pipeline keeps the lines manageable even during peak hours. Speaking of hours, the fact that Tacodeli is only open for breakfast and lunch keeps it busy pretty much throughout the opening hours, so be advised that seating may be a bit limited even though it's abundant. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? While Tacodeli could probably charge a premium being a hot new Austin-born kid on the block, they keep prices more than reasonable, and my tacos ranged between $3.00 and $4.50 even though they were pretty large. Chips and queso were sub-$5.00 as well, and the trend continued across what is a very broad menu. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? So here's the breaking point. At the end of the day, both here and in Austin, I think Tacodeli's tacos are really nothing special. The standard options like Carne Asada and other traditional street tacos have decent flavor and the traditional onion and cilantro combination, but it was the breakfast tacos that I was really excited about, which were nothing more than plain. You can tell even by the picture that these are made assembly line style, with the eggs, jalapeno, etc. cooked separately and then stacked, which in my opinion is far inferior to cooking everything up together. I get that the partitioned approach allows them to come out faster, but at places like Good 2 Go and Velvet you can tell that everything is made to order together all at once. I will say that the queso was very, very good - as were the chips, so tack them onto your order if you're inclined. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Again, if you love Tacodeli, you'll love the Dallas location. If not, like me, you'll stick to the Dallas classic spots. No Star Granted. read more

I made the long drive for this little slice of Austin and it was worth it. The tacos are fresh the service is quick and the space is large enough for people to gather and still be intimate. I love their sides to tacos. I mean they have mashed potatoes on tacos. How can you not love that. I just tried breakfast and I had the Otto and a make your own (chorizo, mashed potatoes and avocado). Yum and more yum. I love this place. I will make the drive again next weekend. read more

Tacodeli - The Otto and build your own taco - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

TacoDeli offers absolutely delicious vegetarian tacos! Very often the veggies provided at other taco places seems like just a concession to Vegetarians, not much consideration to the seasoning or lacking creativity in general. I tried the Freakin' Vegan and the Portobello Frontera Fundido. Nicely spicy! I could eat an entire bowl of the beans that form the base of the Freakin' Vegan... they are that FREAKIN' GOOD! I'm looking forward to eating my way through the rest of their veggie menu! read more

Tacodeli ... you are a hit... or a miss... but I'm still going to give you 4 stars! Being a child product of Austin, this place serves tacos in... whole wheat tortillas?? WHAT??? "Healthy tacos"?? Or, at least tacos I can pretend are healthy so that I may justify adding an extra taco to my order :) Add in a kombucha drink and you're on the road to being psychodeliclly groovy! This place has an expansive menu, but some tacos are good, some aren't that great. I personally like tacos stuffed with a variety of ingredients, and sprinkled with cheese. Whereas, my fiance is a not cheesy (no pun intended) and prefers his tacos simple. But at the end of the day, it's all relative to your tastes, but there's something for everyone! The chips and queso here are "do". My only complaint is that 3 out of 3 visits, the service has been relatively slow.... so plan on taking a long lunch if Tacodeli is your destination. read more

Food was good, service was great, a guy named Jorge went out of his to make sure our food was perfect. Thanks!

Tell me why it took until I moved to Dallas from Austin and it opened here that i became a fan of their tacos? The quality of these tacos are just great and filling. Yeah, they are a little on the expensive side but comparison to getting a plate of a tacos at a sit down restaurant and these at an order at the counter spot, I would choose these tacos hands down. Right now, the lines are out the door but it moves fairly quickly and somehow when you think all the seats are taken, one opens. Not to mention they serve Tweed Coffee as their daily drip. Dope. Come for breakfast, come for lunch, come for dinner. There's a taco waiting for your appetite at all occasions. Not to mention, their queso is right up there with Torchy's and Kerbey Lane. Now I'm hungry again. read more

The food is here is to be obsessed over. Idk what you guys put in the tacos but damn I love it. Manager dude up front is dope AF and always takes care of his customers. We bring our dogs over too and it's such a welcoming environment. read more

I was hesitant to eat here based on some of the negative reviews. Knowing this was an Austin import in a trendy area of Dallas, I wasnt sure if people were reviewing this from with their stomachs or not. Im glad I was wrong! This is the kind of place that throws all your perceptions of what you ordered out the front door. I ordered the chile relleno and el picosito. Im not a fan of the fact that they dont show prices (not that Im aware of), but the cost was around 8 dollars (reasonable for hipster tacos). I had to wait about ten minutes in line, and then wait about ten minutes for my order. I dont recommend coming here starving, but expect a little wait. Once they arrived, I sampled all four of their in house salsas. The verde was good, the dona was a little spicy at first, but was really good after a couple of bites, and the habanero had a nice kick with a lingering burn. Surprisingly, my favorite sauce was the rojo. Usually Im not a fan of anything made of tomatoes (heartburn reasons) but this stuff was smooth and creamy. I could have slammed it down from a drinking cup full of rojo! The flour tortillas were not special, but they were sturdy and pleasantly chewy. Both tacos had this overwhelming marinade to the meat. Im ok with this, but I feel it can outweigh some of the other ingredients at times. The chile relleno was a surprise winner. I dont know how they did it, but they managed to have a huge slice of poblano pepper, hammocking a glob of pork be delicious. The picosito very very marinaded, but I still enjoyed the flavor (especially with the rojo sauce). If you want instant gratification and cant wait in line for a few minutes, go somewhere else. If you want "authentic tacos", you're already in the wrong place. But otherwise, come here with no expectations and you should do fine. I cant wait to try some of their other items (especially breakfast). read more

Wow these are some great taco's the torilla's are charred perfectly which is the way they should be served traditionally imho, the menu is simple, we needed a little explaining being our 1st visit everyone was very friendly and helpful, this is definitely a trendy location. I would love to see one open in the Fort Worth area. It's a little pricey at 3.50 per taco but well worth it once you sink your teeth into them I ordered beef tenderloin and the beef was plenty and cooked in cubes on The Cowboy,blended on the El Picosito and wasn't overcooked still maintained the flavor and juices of the beef, the Frontera fundido Portobello is great meaty substitute for the Vegetarian,salsa comes 4 flavors Mild, Medium,Warm and Hot.. They serve Austin Based soft drinks Jalisco and a wide variety of others. The Blue Plate special is any 2 taco's with organic rice & beans they also serve vegetarian menu as well. the place has it all good atmosphere, location, plenty of room, great service and fabolous taco's ...It's a keeper and when going that way it's a no brainer gotta get some to go after having a few there read more

As with many other places in this plaza, this restaurant is pricey for not enough average food. I got the Akaushi Hanger, Al Pastor, and the Barbacoa taco. The Al Pastor was the better one of the three, but not spectacular at all. The meat (especially the beef), was not cut properly, and it was very difficult to eat, especially since they come in big chunks. It seemed like they were trying to make authentic Mexican tacos, but it does not compare to many taco shops in Dallas. The flavors were off, and the meat was not flavorful or tender enough. They do give you free chips if you ask (not sure why you even have to ask them). The sauces are pretty tasty. The place is overpriced for the amount of food. They really should just serve you chips with your order, but you do have to ask them to get it. Line can seem long, but moves fairly quickly. read more

I was expecting more. I guess I should've tried it while in Austin first. This is a glorified taco joint. I would rather go to a hood spot and pay less. I would never come here again. Although the black beans and Mexican rice we very good and flavorful. read more

Tacodeli - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I just love Tacodeli so much, I have to eat here at least once whether I'm in Austin or Dallas. Their dona salsa (creamy green) is so good, I pour copious amounts of it on every taco I eat. I also really like the roja...it has a really pleasant roasted flavor. I am a migas devotee, so I usually order a Jess special and something else like Frontera Fundido with portabello mushrooms. The only disenchanting things I've found are their guac, which is a little runny and tastes like it has tomatillos in it, so it's not my favorite. I thought their barbacoa taco was pretty good, but I've had better from taco trucks that were significantly cheaper, so I wouldn't waste my time on that one. Otherwise though, great tacos, phenomenal salsa. read more

OH MY GOSH! This may be my new favorite taco place! Atmosphere: hip and fun! Definitely a busy restaurant but there are a lot of tables inside and outside. The tables had beautiful artwork on the tops of them. Everything was colorful Customer service: one of the best I've ever seen. The workers made sure we had everything we needed. They even remembered our names when coming by to make sure the food was good. They were all cheerful and helpful! FOOD: I had "The Heather". Sooo delicious! Instead of lettuce I put spinach on it. The tortillas were soft and perfect! We also got the chips and queso...be careful with the queso, it's so good you'll want to drink it! I'll definitely be coming back and telling all my friends to come here read more

Tacodeli - The heather! - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My experience at this establishment was not satisfactory. My wait was long and the tacos I ordered were distasteful.

I've been coming here for awhile now and if they ever built a location in Arlington I'd probably be their best customer. I always get tacos on their fresh wheat tortillas. Through the years, I've probably tried at least half of their tacos and I must say that there's never been a time when I've been disappointed. My favorite salsa is their most popular one, the Dona. It's green with just the right amount of spicy to it. Some of these tacos are a tad pricey, but it's totally worth it. I love how fresh everything tastes and that only two or three tacos can keep me full for most of the day! read more

Discovered them in Austin. Love love love their breakfast tacos. So imaginative and freshly made. Lunch and dinner is also great. Only draw back one lightweight in our family said no spice and it was beyond hot! read more

Seriously the best breakfast tacos ever! It's so nice to see this Austin tradition expanding to other cities. I do wish that they'd placed the Dallas Tacodeli in a more central location, but I'll drive a bit further because they're just that good. We could tell that the tortillas in Dallas are a bit different (amazing!) than the Austin ones, and we were right--Dallas uses a local supplier for its tortillas, and they are just wonderful. As far as specific recommendations for breakfast tacos go, you really can't go wrong with any of them. The chorizo is nice and spicy, and their other toppings are good too. read more

The service and food was fantastic!!!!!! The staff was so welcoming and helpful!! The food was amazing!! Seasoned well cooked!! The ambience was also nice!! read more

I was a tacodeli customer in Austin for years and now I have some at home! Been going here regularly since day one of opening in Dallas. I love the great choice of breakfast and vegetarian tacos! The space cowboy is good but the papadulce is my favorite. The Otto and the Jess are highly sought after. I recommend dumping the papadulce filling on top of the corazon salad for an exceptional experience. A bit slow but made fresh and always delicious! Dinner eaters beware, they close at 3! read more

First, because I live a block away from Sylvan Thirty, I am SO excited about the new restaurants opening slowly. Second, Tacodeli definitely lives up to the hype. With an almost overwhelming menu, I found myself wanting to try everything...A good problem to have, I suppose. A man, whom I presumed to be the owner or manager, met us at the door and welcomed us then asked if we had any questions. (we did) We tried two of his suggestions, The Cowboy taco which comprised of sirloin, grilled corn, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, huac and queso fresco, and the MoJo Fish which had gulf drum, a yummy sauce, huac and pico. Both were super yummy and full of flavor. We also tried the shrimp taco, which was good but not as good as the fish taco and the Frontera Fundido Chicken. I can't wait to go back and try the other tacos, however, the Cowboy will definitely be my staple, get this every single time, taco. My ONLY complaint is that this place is only open for breakfast and lunch. No dinner here folks. And that makes me sad, because tacos are life. read more

feel kinda bad for messing around on taco joint, but i think taco deli wins. im new to the breakfast taco game, so it's not entirely my fault. really into the salas available and their fountain sodas are so rad (diet mexican cola ftw), so dont sleep on those. the jess special and freakin vegan win for me. get the chips too. as the kids are sayin, you only live once! read more

Slow, slow, slow. This location is the slowest of all the north Texas locations. I'm a tacodeli fan but this is the worst location of the bunch. Food is good but plan on waiting 20+ minutes for a taco shop, and 50/50 chance your tacos are somehow already cold also** DO NOT order the mashed potatoes. They're runny like water ....It seems as they've opened more in the area, they've lost good managers to those new locations. Need a reboot at this location...**CAME BACK TO GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE...20 minute wait for two tacos on a call in order with no line when I arrived. Should bring Bree from walnut hill over to get this place in order. read more

Tacodeli - Mashed potatoes or potato soup? - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Tacodeli has become a weekly breakfast staple in my household. I first tried Tacodeli in Austin and this location is just as crave-worthy. The service is quick, even on busy days. Their patio is comfortable year-round, with heaters in the winter and good shade in the summer. Our large Great Pyrenees mutt loves to join us for our breakfast outings. My husband and I have tried many breakfast tacos during our time in Dallas, and Tacodeli's are by far our favorite. The flour tortillas a fresh, soft, and almost melt in with the inner taco ingredients. The Otto, with the addition of an egg, is literally the perfect breakfast taco. To top it all off, their salsas are amazing, a requirement for a proper breakfast taco. We prefer the La Dona salsa, but they have 4 different types that are different spice levels. Overall I highly recommend Tacodeli and think everyone should try their delicious tacos. read more

Medium sized place, it is actually kind of loud, because everyone is exciting and talking. More like a fast food set up, a decent line during lunch. Our food was delicious. Be careful adding sauces they are quite spicy. The service was nice, welcoming and efficient. They have the Mexican cane sugar sodas at their fountain. The portion size is decent, probably have to get at least two things on the menu to fill your tummy. We will definitely be coming back and may try to visit the Austin location. read more

Great fast casual tacos! They have a great variety of different proteins and creative twists on classic tacos and most everything I try is great! They also offer sides and kids menu so you can make a meal out of any group. They have outdoor seating which is great for lunch with friends, although some tables sit in direct sunlight which can be really hot in the summer and fall so don't count on finding a seat outdoors in the lunch hour. This location is great because it's right next to houndstooth so you can grab coffee before or after your tacos. I personally think the mashed potatoes on tacos is a bit weird and would prefer the normal roasted potatoes that go on breakfast tacos. Other than that their bkfst tacos are a must! read more

Ehh I was disappointed. After hearing how AMAZING this place was by Austin natives I was stoked to try it. I love tacos so I came prepared in my stretchy pants post trinity river run. We ordered build your own breakfast burritos, which my sister said were great. A kids quesadilla, which my child devoured. So if a one year old eats it... it must be good, right? Lol And 2 tacos, asada and pastor with rice and beans and a medium queso. The queso was pretty good, I like how the bags come prepackaged so I had an entire bag to myself. The pastor and asada tacos were nothing to write home about, in fact I really didn't even enjoy the pastor tacos at all. But I was hungry and I hate wasting food. Also, pastor is my absolute favorite so it really sucked hating it. The beans and rice were the same for me, they were good but not amazing. I will say the atmosphere is great, all the staff I interacted with were so nice and patient. And man was it busy, lastly, this place is in a great location so I can see myself coming back to try their shrimp taco. Hopefully it rocks! read more

So, my co-worker insisted that the food here was great and I must concur! The chips and guac are fantastic! The Guacamole has a prominent lime taste but is not too over powering. It's super creamy and filled with flavor, total mouthgasm!! I've only had the Pollo Fantastico tacos but can't wait to try the others they have on the menu! I do have to say that it is a bit pricey for the portion and size of the tacos, but they are very delicious! read more

This is a great place to come to grab some tacos for a quick meal. I came here for lunch on a Saturday after a previous night of drinking and I must say these tacos were just what I needed. On Saturdays the breakfast tacos are served all day an I opted to get 3 different breakfast tacos and also chips and guacamole. All of my tacos were amazing and their special green sauce is the perfect addition to their tacos making them taste that much better. I also enjoyed their chips and guacamole because the guacamole has a kick to it & I'm a sucker for spicy foods. I would definitely recommend to come here to grab some very good tacos(which they have plenty to choose from). read more

Woke up this morning, and my buddy told me this was the place to go for breakfast and it for sure didn't disappoint. First off I'd never had breakfast tacos so this was a new concept for me, but a delicious concept. The menu wasn't huge but what they had was plenty to choose from. I built my own with potato egg and cheese and also got the sirloin breakfast taco. They were both amazing! The potatoes were not what you are thinking, the typical sautéed ones but mashed!!! Such a great idea! Oh and their hot sauces!!! Omg! They were so good, and the habanero sauce was the best. It was actually really spicy. Can't forget about the staff. Very friendly, very personable and also very helpful. Next time I'm in dallas, I'll for sure be coming back here. read more

I made it to this spot for breakfast. The service was pleasant and the menu was explained up front. I had the sirloin, egg, and cheese taco and the frontera fundido taco with chicken. The latter was the better taco. Nothing special for breakfast, but the ingredients were fresh and the veggies lightly sautéed. I only wish they asked upon ordering if you like your poblano and onions caramelized or lightly sautéed. That option would be a nice touch as I prefer caramelized and I know some people prefer lightly sautéed. read more

Tacodeli is by far my favorite taco place. I'm from Austin where we also have a million different taco places. There tortillas are fresh. There ingredients are high quality and great portions of meat/avocado /sauces. The breakfast tacos are cheap and you can build your own. They have different specials every day of the week. The queso is Awesome! I could eat here every day. I would definitely recommend and I always take my out of town guests to eat here when they're visiting Dallas. The meat in all the tacos is juicy and never over cooked. read more

The Food is Good. The Ambience is Good. A little Pricey to me. Paid $2.50 for a 12 Oz Can of Diet Coke. I have been there to dine 3 times. Customer Service needs Major Improving. Staff is not Friendly. Stood a Register almost 4 Minutes before anybody Acknowledged me to take my Food order even though several Employees saw me standing there. I asked a female Employee if they call your Name on to go orders Female Employee just looked at me made a Frown & said yes as if I ruined her day by speaking to her. Employees spend more time chit chatting with each other than being focused on Fast Service. Unsure if I will return in future! All 3 times I have had Poor Customer Service. read more
