    These are hands down the best street tacos in all of Dallas. And the food comes out SO QUICKLY. I was in the restaurant maybe three minutes tops and they had my tacos and chicken quesadilla out and ready. Everyone is so nice here. It has a hole in the wall vibe but in the best way

    Tacos de Lengua, Cabeza & Suadero. Delish!

    Great Mexico City style street taco joint. Lots of families there and great selection of meats. Good old school taco joint.

    This establishment is very hot inside. The flat top where they cook all meats is at the very front of the entrance. Therefore, the restaurant gets hot very quickly. I will say all meats are well seasoned and marinated and cooked perfectly. If you order tripa (chitlins) tacos they automatically ask you if you want soft or crispy tripas (chitlins). I will always ordery tripa tacos extra crispy, and they did not disappoint. However, the tacos are small and with double tortillas. If you want grilled onions, you have to order them as a side, but it is a hefty side of grilled onions. When you get your order handed to you, they give you two bottles of salsa, the green and the red salsas. They have a variety of Mexican cokes and Mexican flavored waters. The service is quick with food orders being hot and fresh.TIP: They also do not sell alcohol and do not allow alcohol into the establishment.

    This is a beautifully done taqueria. They even have shoe cleaners. They It has beautiful colors and it feels like a home. They have a wonderful selection of food. The Jamaica was so refreshing. Their staff were attentive and so kind. They were so warm and welcoming and the food smelt so good when walking in. The canary yellow trim and large sign will help you find it. Order at the counter. Take a seat at either a booth or table and you get to enjoy the cute robot serving you food. The Cabeza(beef cheek), Suadero(thin grilled beef), and Lengua (beef tongue) was so juicy and perfect texture with the roasted corn tortilla. The torta bread is from a local Panaderia. The chipotle sauce is made in house. I loved the bombocha torta. Perfect for meat lovers. It has friend beef, ham, and seasoned hot dog. It wasn't too much breading on the Milanesa(friend beef) and the jamón (ham) Salchicha (hot dog) was a beautiful melody of meat. The chicken quesadilla comes with lettuce, crème, Mexican queso. 10/10 this is a wonderful spot. The owner was so sweet and even stopped by to say hello. Love this location.

    Casual taco restaurant with fast and excellent service! Clean tables and chairs. The tacos are amazing! Full of flavor and generous with the portions. Salsas are spicy and great as a topping. The tortas are also filling and worth it! Excellent prices overall; will be back soon! Parking is limited in fromt of the restaurant, but there's street spaces!

    My favorite street tacos in DFW. Friendly counter service and amazing tacos and salsa. My hungry belly is always pleased and satisfied. A lot of seating with booths and tables for small parties or groups.

    Authentic tacos were bomb ( I would recommend the other type of tortillas... the meats were well flavored... the salsa ... the service was quick ... I love the decor and the artisanal looking tables, beautiful ...

    Small taqueria in the outskirts of Downtown Dallas. Now visiting from NC, we can definitely notice the difference in tacos from NC to TX. These tacos here were very delicious than any taco in NC, FOR SURE! Now with that being said, they didnt blow us away either. They could've been better and bigger. Either way for an agua fresa and 6 tacos it was only $18 and in NC it would've def been around $30+. So either way we were happy with our TX tacos and their price point. Small location but it does have quite a few tables inside to sit down and enjoy your food. They offer not only tacos but Burritos, Quesadilla's and Tortas. Parking is a bit tight and limited so if you come during their peak hours, I can definitely see it being a bit of a problem. The ladies who take your order, they are not the friendliest but they are about their business. They take your order, get payment and get the line moving.

    Overall, this place was good. Very VERY cheap tacos but obviously they're smaller + the tortillas are a little mid. But the meat all have great, unique flavor coming from San Diego tacos. Quesadillas (Quesatacos) are the move: price of a regular taco (everywhere else), much bigger and the crispy tortilla + the cheese makes it delicious. Salsas were also great, they had a kick to them. Come for good tacos and cheap prices but don't expect to have your pants blown off.

    Asada, Pollo, y Pastor tacos
    Rome L.

    My favorite taco spot in Dallas. Service is typically prompt even when they are packed, I don't think I've ever waited more than 15minutes to receive my food. Flavor is always good, portions match, and the price is fair. It's your typical taqueria so they have a no frills dining area. Parking is very limited so if you come on a busy day you may experience the parking lot congestion and/or have to park off-site.

    Quesadilla de pollo & tacos

    Small taco spot, but Good prices, and delicious food. The salsas are amazing too. Definitely recommend the quesadillas. 10/10

    Pastor and something else I forgot IT WAS GAS

    Celebrating our 1-year anniversary at The Mexican was nothing short of extraordinary…read more From the moment we walked in, the energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for excellence were evident in every aspect of the experience. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service came together to create an unforgettable evening.

Her knowledge of her craft, warm personality, and thoughtful recommendations made us feel truly welcomed and valued. It's rare for me to give an establishment a perfect score, but this one has earned it without hesitation. 10/10--an exceptional dining experience and the perfect place to celebrate life's special moments. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We can't wait to return!

The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and the bartender was even kind enough to take my picture. From the service to the vibe, this place exceeded my expectations. It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

    Came in on a whim on a Friday night around 9pm with no reservation. We were instantly taken aback…read moreby the ambiance here. My wife and I agreed it felt like we were back in Mexico City. Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    I've been here twice. Everything we ordered was very good both times…read more During our first visit, I had the Caesar salad, which I declared at that time "the greatest Caesar salad I've ever tried." It was glorious and bountiful--there was ample dressing, cheese, and other ingredients I'm forgetting that made it unique. Unfortunately, during our second visit, the Caesar salad was significantly different. I think they used the same dressing, but there was very little of it. There was nearly no cheese and the other ingredients were similarly sparse. It was still good, but it in no way was the greatest I'd ever tried. I hope that this was a 1-off experience, as it truly was the best. I will report back next time. Service was great both times- they were very careful about my Cilantro request (none) and even though they gladly prepared dishes without it, they also made a list of things that already had none by default. Salmon ceviche, Pork al pastor, Carne asada, and the machete were also very good. The machete is a specialty- it had the house made masa and fillings can vary.
