The food here is very solid. What sets them apart is all the tortillas are made fresh. Echo a mano, which means they are made by hand. The tacos I recv were flavor-able and hit the spot of this Saturday noon. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other items. read more

Taqueria el tocallo - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Had such a wonderful experience here. Originally came to this restaurant as I saw a TikTok post from the owner's niece. The owners were so wonderful and attentive to make sure we enjoyed everything. My dad ordered the steak quesadillas while I ordered the torta al pastor. The meat was cooked wonderful in both and the sauces on the table wet great. There is a great amount of options for everyone based on what spice level you like. We order jarritos with our meal but were curious to drive the agua frescas they offered. The owner ended up bringing us samples of the drinks to our table. We tried the pineapple and strawberry drinks, and ended up ordering them to go. The restaurant has very nice artwork and was very clean as well. There is also an elote stand outside of the restaurant. read more

Homemade tortillas for the win I love the tacos here. Fajita Tacos. It's cash only last time I went but definitely call ahead and order and just swing by and pick up. read more

I originally went a couple of months ago and I believe I met the owner who was a really nice lady ordered my food ate my tacos and rice and beans in the restaurant and the food was pretty good. I just went back yesterday and the food was horrible!!! I ordered 5 tacos, 3 barbacoa and 2 pastor. The barbacoa was all fat and looked old and tasted gross! The pastor was dry and tasted like bottom of the pan. I took my tacos back and asked for my money back and the man gave me my money back bo questions asked but I was extremely disappointed and asked him "is this how all your tacos are?" And he said " yes that's how they come." I know that's a lie because they definitely didn't look/taste like that the last time. I have pictures below for reference and you will see. I will never go back again and have told many people not to as well. read more

With so many different spots in Oak Cliff, this spot is the real deal! By far the best tacos in the Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts area. Homemade corn tortillas!! SO SO GOOD! This is a Cash only spot. Make sure to leave some room for corn in a cup! read more

First time time trying this place and we waited for almost 25min for 4 tacos Came home and the meat was burned. They gave us some free fries. We were wondering why? Because they probably knew we were gonna be disappointed with the burned tacos. read more

This place sucks. Bad. Food is 2-2.5 stars, maybe could have got a 3 star review with a better experience, but with the overall current one, its a 1 star. 2 things I ordered didnt make it, those that did spilled all over eachother. Beans suck, rice sucks, tortillas are meh, the meat quality sucks on there steak and pastor, chicken was the best one, and maybe lengua could have been, but no salt or flavor, no onions and cilantro anywhere, missing items. Long story short, ...This place sucks! Dont go here! Not worth it. read more

This place is not a looker but it was very authentic and delicious! It was simple yet flavor exploding! Everything is homemade and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I ordered chicken tacos with rice and beans oh soo good! Small note they only take cash so we had to walk to the grocer next door! read more

Seriously incredible and authentic tacos! Be sure to leave room for the elotes stand outside. Honestly the best Hidden Gem in Oak Cliff! Do not leave without grabbing their lengua or pastor. read more

very good service the food is delicious 100% recommended, the unique flavor of Mexico, the tortillas very good texture made right there

Let me preface this by letting you know this place is CASH ONLY. Anyway, I was in the mood for a place with tacos and elotes and I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place. We came on a Sunday during brunch time and the place was not very busy. I was way too hungry so ended up getting a delicious fajita torta and and my husband got a chicken quesadilla with a HAND-MADE corn tortilla. We also got a piña (pineapple) agua fresca. The elotes we're good too. The staff was so nice and sweet. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the bishop arts area. read more

This is my favorite taco place, I am very picky but their fajita tacos , tortas , and sopes are always on point. The meat is always cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The place is very clean. I highly recommend it I love tacos and these are my favorite. Also the tortillas are not drowned in oil like other places. Their green salsa is also so yummy. read more

I've tried several taco spots and this one dominates. The owner, Hector, was so kind and generous when I placed my first order. He personally cooked my dinner on the grill and made it a special. The fajita tacos were piled high with fresh cooked meat w/grilled and fresh onions and cilantro on the side. I ordered the flour tortillas (same price) and Hector wanted me to try their hand-made corn tortillas - so he put one in with my entree to try. The texture and taste was perfect. I always seek out the best authentic Mexican hot sauces and these guys have the best creamy avocado jalapeño sauce. The interior of the restaurant has been updated and they are making more improvements. Friends, this one is worth the drive. read more

Taqueria el tocallo - Torta d lengua @ El Tocallo - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Wow! Where to start...this place is filty. There were so many flies in the place and the payment pad was disgustingly dirty. Seeing how dirty things were so far, I should have left qithout ordering but..... I then went into the restroom while my food was being prepared. The toilet...GROSS...Ill leave this one to your imagination...but think outside gas station that hasnt been cleaned maybe ever,, paper all over the floor, trash can over flowing. The floors in the qhole place looked like they hadn't been mopped in months. So at this point I'm planning my escape. I go outside to buy elotes which are normally the best in Oak Cliff....but not today...the corn and everything in the cup was cold. I decided I'd better chalk this one up to a fail and leave...without the food I'd paid for because I'd probably end up with food poisoning if I ate it. Avoid this place at all cost...it's GROSS!!!! read more

The tacos and tortas were very good. The restaurant was clean and Sarah was very friendly.

Waited over 20 minutes for a sediment heavy horchata and a simple chicken burrito that was way too salty and in an absolutely filthy dining area (think dirty napkins, plates, tables, and pieces of leftover food all over the chairs and floor). Just...No. read more

The elotes is really tasty and their meat was juicy and seasoned well. The vegetables were fresh and the fruit juice was actually fruit juice. Seriously. Real, recently juiced fruit. There wasn't anything I didn't like. $18 for two people to eat a little more than they needed to with no complaints. We had just left the Texas theater and started driving to a restaurant she knew when I spotted a food cart on the corner selling something mexican looking. I'd had a hankering for mexican for the past few days so I asked her what it was. Elotes. I asked what it was and she made a u-turn. We were just going to the stand to get the elotes, but then we noticed the stand had the same name as the small restaurant in the same parking lot. We decided to try it. As we entered I noticed mexicans were eating there. This place must be legit :) The inside is two slightly separated and small dining areas with a counter and window for ordering and getting your food from the kitchen. It's all bar seating with a bar wrapping around the entire interior and stools to sit on. All very basic. I liked it. If I weren't a shy hermitty person that only speaks english I probably would have talked to all the other people sitting around the edges. Lots of people were talking. Comfortable enough despite it all being open. And it still seemed easy for us to talk amongst ourselves and ignore the other diners. There was room for maybe 11 people to sit. I also had a few drinks at the theater's bar just minutes before, and was there with someone I'm newly in love with, so who knows what it was actually like. I know it smelled good in there though. My girlfriend speaks spanish and did all the ordering. I saw the word gordita on the menu and said I wanted two of those. She also ordered us each a fruit drink of some sort and the "elotes"(delicious corn in a cup thing with cheese, sour cream, chilis, seasoning, i think there was feta in there, butter?, ...). While we were waiting for the food I tasted each drink and was really surprised to taste actual fruit juice. We got a cantaloupe juice and a watermelon juice. It tasted like they roughly juiced the raw fresh fruit and added a bit of sugar. Next time i'll ask for just the juice with no sugar. I always just order water at restaurants because I don't drink soda so it was a nice surprise to get a delicious drink that's not bad for you. They didn't look like any gorditas I ever had before. Turns out you can get all kinds of toppings like cheese, onions, cilantro, etc... but I can't read spanish and just said I want the gorditas. So mine were plain. They were delicious. There were slightly more delicious with the salsas. And even more delicious when eaten with the elotes. What I got was simple. Gorditas(one chicken, one beef), salsas, salad and the elotes. It was all done well and fresh. She got a burrito of some sort and said it was really good. I'd eat here again. Also if you drive around to the front of the restaurant and drive along the side of it back towards what seems like the parking lot for it. Don't. When you get back there there's no parking and it looks like you can just drive into the parking lot next door. And you can. It's just that the restaurant's pavement is 4-5" higher than that of the parking lot next door, but there's no divider. It's not apparent at night that there's a drop off, so off we went. The front end scraping the ground after the drop off sounded terrible. So either park in the lot next to the place and walk over or park right in front of it. I ate at http://www.yelp.com/biz/komali-dallas a few days before the taqueria and it was wonderful. Everything was just great. Fancy wine tasting, delicious appetizers, filet mignon fajitas, mole, intoxicating dessert. Just amazing. I was almost as happy leaving this little taco shack and it was like 1/6th the price. I'd come here a lot more often too. Cheaper, faster and I don't have to get dressed all fancy if I don't wanna. If only they had mole. They probably do, I just couldn't read the sign. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could! They took almost an hour just for some two sopes and two gorditas and the guy in the front kept repeating everything like he didn't pay attention! read more

The best elotes!! But the restaurant sucks! They took over 20 minutes for 2 tacos. The tables inside are always dirty as well as the floors.

The tacos are good here; the meat was seasoned well. The tortillas estan hecha a mano, what else do you want? If you're looking for the bishop arts district experience, don't come here. JK! But don't be picky! The cashier was nice and attentive. And if you want a good elote, go at it! read more

The food is decent but the service is terrible. The first time I went everything was great but the second time I ordered the same thing and they charged me like five dollars extra and the priced were still the same and the same thing happened to a friend of mine when he went. read more
