Would have liked to try their food but they were closed during open hours. Came when they were supposed to be open and they were closed If the hours posted are no longer correct they need to be updated. If not open when claimed to be then thats the fault of the business. read more

Classic original tacos! As of Jan2026 I got 10tacos & large Horchata: $31.00 (6-bisteak 2-Barbacoa 2- al pastor) You have a choice on corn or flour tortillas (I always go corn) Stumbled on this place a few years ago and only now decided to take pics and leave a review. **Please know it's CASH ONLY + No Seating** They speak English & Spanish - don't be worried lol. Same with the Elote man around the corner...yes they have an Elote cart! I see a lot of 'non regulars' get up to the window after waiting in line dumbfounded. YES there will likely be a line, it's for good reason. 1st line for ordering Tacos && 2nd line is usually for Elote. Simple tacos, but done right. They do have their off days where it feels like the tortillas aren't hitting as the usually do, but the are dealing with a lot of turnaround. Definitely go!! & try to eat them in the car soon as you get them, best when fresh from the window. read more

They do not open at 10am. We went and stood in line for a good half hour and they never opened. I'm not sure when they open but it isn't 10am. read more

Taqueria El Si Hay - Closed at 10am. Waited for a half hour before leaving empty handed. - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Saw this place featured in a YouTube as being one of the best taco places in Dallas. The line was very long when i first arrived, so I was definitely expecting a long wait but it wasn't too bad (maybe 20min). After I ordered my tacos I got in line for the elotes and really enjoyed watching the man make each order fresh. The tacos and elotes were both good, but neither really blew my mind (7/10 for both). There isn't really a formal seating area but i saw lots of people either eating in line, in their cars, or in the field behind the restaurant. This place is cash only so make sure to stop at the bank/atm before going! read more

This is a weird review to make. So it's a little sketch. Which usually doesn't bother me. But there was a couple of guys who were asking for money. I ended up giving them my Coke because this place only takes cash and I didn't have much cash. So that was the bad part. Little sketch. However, the tacos, I've been thinking about this, I think they were the best tacos I've ever had. Maybe not. But I think they were. AI recommended me to try certain tacos. It was mostly wrong. Both my wife and I agreed that surprisingly their best tacos were the chicken tacos. Insanely flavorful. How can you make chicken taste that good? Bistec were great. Lengua was delish. Chorizo was better than chorizo. When you're talking about the best tacos you've ever had possibly, it comes down to execution and details. The ratio of onions and cilantro was spot on. The flavor was out of this world. The corn tortillas soaked up all the flavor grease in a good way. It doesn't make sense that tacos this good come from this place. But then again great things come in small packages read more

Only take cash (very reasonably priced) usually a long wait - but the tacos are as good as I've ever had

This place has been running for 30 years and I can see why. I went there during my short trip to Dallas while strolling in the area. First was at night and again in the morning. No matter the time of the day there is always a line and everything made fresh to the order. There is a little bit of wait time but tacos came out piping hot. I had chicken tacos and they were bomb. The only thing missing is a hint of lime but it tasted amazing for such a small price of just $2.75 per taco. At night I had Mexican street corn. A huge cup of steaming corn with cheese, red sauce, sour screen and butter was just $5. If you are going during the day, just wait in the car bcos there is hardly any shade and in Dallas heat, you become a taco yourself. There is nothing to write about the ambiance. It's just street food but it's a few streets away from the main vibrant bishop art district so it's much quieter but still safe. read more

We still talk about Taqueria El Si Hay despite living in LA.. The Lengua and Barbacoa tacos are so tender and great value at $2.75 each! We also got fresh Elote for $5, which was fun to watch the man skillfully make and delicious. Please note this place is cash only and does not have seating! read more

El Si Hay has the best tacos in Dallas--hands down. I've been a regular for years, and their food is consistently simple, delicious, and spot-on. My go-to is the Al Pastor, but honestly, everything on the menu is great. They offer both green and red sauces--get both. The green has a nice kick with tons of flavor, while the red is bold, smoky, and seriously spicy. You can choose your toppings and opt for either corn or flour tortillas, depending on your preference. Every so often, there's a vendor outside serving fresh, made-to-order elotes. Don't skip that--it's an incredible bonus. A few tips: They're cash only, there's no seating, and there's always a line. But trust me--this local gem is absolutely worth it. read more

Legit tacos and elote that are worth the wait. Cash only at this spot. Elote is cut off the cob as you wait and it is masterful. If you get with the spicy stuff it is pretty darn spicy. Green salsa also pretty spicy but not so noticeable when on your tacos. Tacos served with lime wedges and onions on the side. Basic, authentic and delicious. Every time you drive by you will see a line. Do yourself a favor and stop. read more

Tacos are greasy. Chicken had odd taste/texture, like it wasn't chicken.. Pork was a little burned/had an odd texture as well. It is a little slow. I don't understand why they serve everything in to go boxes. read more

This little taco spot has quickly become my favorite in the area. It's just a small stand that looks about 100 sq ft., but they are pumping out good food. Limited menu of tacos (Al pastor, barbacoa, lengue, etc) and drinks (agua Frescas and Jarritos). Topping choices are onion, cilantro and a salsa. Cash only, and they don't have an ATM, so come prepared! You're outside to wait for your food and there's no seating so park close by so you can wait in your car for your order. I ordered a sampling of different tacos with the green salsa. Everything was fire, meat very flavorful. The barbacoa and al pastor were my favorite bites and the salsa made it even better. read more

Finally got the chance to visit Taqueria El Si Hay and all I can say is YES YES YES! Not only were my expectations high but they were exceeded! The size of the tacos were very large, way larger than I expected for a typical street taco. The establishment is small and walk up style. We also got our food very quickly. We got to try the bistec, chorizo, and barbacoa and they were amazing! The perfect lunch! We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious tacos ! I got the bistec and chicken tacos and they were both delicious ! I would definitely come back and recommend.

Finally got to try this famous taco spot that everyone has been raving about and it did not disappoint! The line was pretty long but it was so worth the wait. We tried almost all the flavors and bistek and chorizo really stood out. The meat was seasoned so well and juicy. The tacos are pretty small so definitely order multiples. There's no seating as it's a takeout spot. We were so hungry so we just tailgated by the car. This is a must try taco spot in Dallas! read more

The long lines on a Saturday night and the sparse crowds at the surrounding food trucks should be an indication of what you're in for with this little gem. It's just straight up authentic tacos, corn or tortilla. What makes them special is their made fresh - the meat and fillings. The Elote is also made fresh, scraped from boiled corn on the cob. My wife had a conversation with the gentleman serving the fresh elote (served in a cup with mole, cheese, lots of butter) and he has been doing it for 40 years. Be warned it can be a long wait after you order but well worth it and decently priced compared to the more expensive eateries in the area. Bring cash they do not take anything else. We made this mistake the first time we came. read more

Excellent!!!! From the tacos to the horchata. 10/10! It is cash only! ATM inside gas station in the same lot. Super nice ladies! Got our food super quick. read more

Food still good but a 3 star rating due to presentation Hardly any meat on tacos! My family grandparents parents uncles have all been coming here for years since I can remember This used to be our go to spot. The long wait didn't matter because it was worth the flavor However, unfortunately, we have noticed the tortilla isn't cooked properly also they hardly put any meat on the tac anymore considering the price increase Don't get me wrong again the flavor is there. I just hope that they read this and don't take it the wrong way Great job on the years of success guys! read more

Food is so fresh and delicious if you are visiting Dallas, please visit this place you will love it! Remember is cash only.

Awesome local spot just around the corner from me in Bishop Arts! On a Monday it was busy but the line moved quickly! The food came fresh and delicious. No complaints about any of our food. The salsa that comes with the tacos was delicious (warning: the red is spicy). Can't beat this type of local joint! There is even an elote Cart on the side. Will definitely be returning frequently ! read more

This little taco stand stays busy! The food is excellent! Unfortunately, there's no seating areas, so you do have to take it to go. It will be a place we return to. read more

still fantastic, but I wouldn't say they are worth waiting in line for over 20 minutes. There are other taquerias around the surrounding area that would be quicker than waiting here. I was fortunate to have them at 3pm when there was no line. Inconvenient that its cash only, but maybe one day they will modernize? They gave me lemons instead of limes which was interesting, but still get the job done in acidity. The salsa is fresh and fairly spicy. The barbacoa and pastor I ordered both had a pronounced taste, and the flour tortilla was soft. read more

So good! Was recommended to come here from Darius Cooks and I am so happy I did. These tacos was fire! I love a local taco small restaurant/ taco truck. The flavor is very authentic and cooked very well. Service was great . The tacos was Juicy and seasoned well. We tried steak and pork. I would highly recommend and would definitely go back. We drove right up and ate in the car. read more

CASH ONLY! Good tacos located in a little stand with a long line at night. I tried the barbacoa, lengua, and fajita tacos. They don't include much else in the way of the toppings, so the meat really has to carry the flavor. The barbacoa and lengua were both juicy and tasted good, but the tacos just lacked a bit of complexity in flavor because it was mostly just meat (their spicy sauce is extremely hot and I would not recommend putting too much). The fajita meat was a little tough. The star of the show was the elote - an abuelo prepares them on a separate table from where you order the tacos, slices the corn kernels from the cob, and adds delicious cheesy cream and spicy tamarind(?) sauce that you then mix together. Finally, I had a large horchata (must have been 30oz or so) for $2.50. It was a little too sweet and not enough cinnamon/spice flavors, but for the price it's a great deal and good accompaniment to spicy salsa and elote. read more

We need to be real and admit that this food is sloppy and low quality, people who stand in line and wait for an hour here are stupid, and these clowns only take cash. The elote guy on the side of the building rules though. read more

Tacos are just so good here. I always get the fajitas a pastor, but don't get me wrong pretty much any tacos here are really good. It's cash only no cards. Also it's only togo no dine in. This taco place is a must try in Dallas one of the best read more

Been going to this spot since i was a teen, always delicious tacos! Same flavored as always soo good

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement... Long lines made me feel like I was in for a treat, but that wasn't the case. By the time I ordered, they were out of most meats. I ordered Fajita & Barbacoa, with onions & cilantro please! Unfortunately, both meats were pretty indistinguishable, & left more flavor to de desired. Gas stations sell better tacos! read more

This is the ideal hole in the spot for bomb tacos and some fire elotes. There's an abundance of taco shops in the bishop arts area , but on this day I was looking for the one with a good crowd . The more people around it , must mean that the food must be slamming right?! So I took the chance and hopped for the best, and I made a great choice. There was a smaller line around the taco line than there was for the Elotes. After trying both I completely understand. Tacos were very good and shouldn't be downplayed at all. I opted for corn tortillas with beef, and chicken plus onions and cilantro. Good sized tacos and Authentic taste, made to order and meat wasn't dry or stale tasting. Elotes were made to order as well and the corn was very fresh. Great combination of flavors and pricing wasn't bad either. One cup of Elotes was 4 bucks and 4 tacos came out to be 11 dollars even. I most definitely will make a return to Davis street to get another serving ! read more

I had heard great things about this Taco place and finally got to try it out! This place is anything but fancy. You'd miss it if you actually walked by. However, they have some of the best, traditional tacos in DFW. I come here always craving a pollo taco and the elotes. Great combo and you won't be disappointed. I don't eat much red meat, but the friends I have brought here also have raved about the tacos al pastor. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

Yeah what they say is true these tacos are amazing. I always get the fajita or al pastor. The price for the tacos is also way worth it compared to a lot of "high-end" taco places read more

Really good maiz Pastor and fajita tacos. Reasonably fast service. Expect long lines.

Me encanta! I love this little taco building. Complete with Elote stand getting freshly boiled corn on the cob (he cuts it off the cob when you order. Awesome) There was a line Sunday night 8pm. It went by fast. We had someone make the taco line and someone make the Elote line separately. We took our order to a nearby bar that didn't sell food. The parking lot itself is small but there is lots of street parking even when busy. Overall great experience. The beef fajita was so good! Al pastor was good too. Chicken taco was sold out, but I was surprised both lengua and barbacoa (cheek) were available. read more
