April 7, 20187 yr Had Revolver for the first time a few weeks back and it was absolutely glorious. Can't wait to go back.
April 23, 20187 yr Who's had OMG Tacos? This one is next on my list to try: http://www.omgtacos.com/menu/ . Southern Cali-style Mex which to me looks like a cross between Mexican/Tex Mex/Gringo style. Pastor fries:
April 23, 20187 yr I’ve been driving west and skipping Trompo to go to Tacquero. Great place to sit outside on a nice day and have loved everything I’ve ordered there.
April 29, 20187 yr I know the guy that owns OMG tacos. They were decent. I prefer street tacos... Love me some Tacos La Baqueta.
May 1, 20187 yr Went to Revolver Taco on Friday. As stated many times before, it was excellent. We got one of every taco except the veggie. The carnitas and pato were probably my favorites. Definitely interested in their tasting menu. Has anybody on here done it?
May 1, 20187 yr I think Lando or C-Man have been (or are planning too soon). Found it. Edited May 1, 20187 yr by DDD Dad

May 25, 20187 yr I have a Saturday June 9th back room reservation for 4 at Revolver Taco if anyone wants it. Turns out I’ll be in Vegas that night and @C-Man can’t use it either. It was a hard reservation to get (been sitting on it for like a month) and before I just cancel it, thought I’d offer it up to one of you surly bastards. PM me if interested

June 15, 20187 yr New entry in town: Taco y Vino in Bishop Arts. We went there last week and it's really good. It's not a taqueria and the tacos are elevated, but they are not overly gimmicky. They rely on traditional tastes: barbacoa, carnitas, cochina pipl, carne asada, etc. Each is just a really good version of a the traditional taco. There are no sides and only two apps, but they are very good: a crab and shrimp stuffed jalapeno and pretty killer tamale croquette things that are additive as hell. The wine and beer is good too, all with approachable prices. The whole thing is supposed to offer a fun night out that doesn't break the bank. It pretty much hits that mark.
October 16, 20187 yr Author Anybody ever been to Tortas Insurgentes (might be Torteria Insurgentes) over by Bachman Lake/Love Field? Dallas Observer called them out as one of the six best at last weekend's Tacolandia. Looked online and I'm very intrigued as I live about 5 minutes from there.

Is it in a shitty gas station?

The one I’m talking about was on NW Hwy west of the lake a bit. It was a total shithole. I mean like felt as if you stepped into a gas station in Mexico. Had trompo tacos there that were pretty damn good. Not sure the health department had been around in a while. But other than that...damn good.
October 16, 20187 yr Finally tried el si hay in Oak Cliff. Everyone swears by it but I found it to be underwhelming. Maybe I caught them at an off time. Had a pastor and chicken taco. Place is always packed. Will try again.
October 24, 20187 yr El si hay is very hit and miss, I've found. When it's on, it is incredible. When it's off, it's off.

That's why, I have pretty much switched to Trompo for that style of taco (different meats, I know, but the street taco style). The elote guy at El Si Hay is always outstanding if you are willing to deal with the complexities of how he chooses who is next in line...and there is always a line.

October 25, 20187 yr Machete tacos in deep ellum was fucking legit. Family style where they just bring a pile of meat tortillas rice and beans and you serve/make the tacos yourself.

May 22, 20196 yr Finally made it to Revolver today. Freaking awesome. Had the trompo, the pescado, and the carne asada (now my favorite steak taco in town). It's pricey though. $50 for two of us before the tip. We ordered 3 the first time around, then asked for two more carne asada tacos each. Yeah, I'm miserable- four would have been perfect. I will say their housemade corn tortillas are the best out there.
June 6, 20196 yr Who's had OMG Tacos? This one is next on my list to try: http://www.omgtacos.com/menu/ . Southern Cali-style Mex which to me looks like a cross between Mexican/Tex Mex/Gringo style. Pastor fries: Went there tonight after our axe throwing outing. Had 3 street tacos and elotes. Would return.
June 12, 20196 yr Cinco Taco at walnut hill and 75 is legit. Mexican style tacos with house made tortillas (corn were exceptional). Also different queso than you get at most tex-mex places. Will definitely return.
June 12, 20196 yr Author The guy that started Whistle Britches is opening a taco place in the old Taco Diner at Preston Center.

They were good but not very big for the price. Asked for the hottest salsa they had and they do a pretty good habanero. Rest of the menu looked pretty good as well, I'll have to go back.

I was pleased every time I went.
July 1, 20196 yr Swung by the OMG Tacos they opened up near the Richardson Alamo Drafthouse. Nothing to write home about but I'd go again.
July 3, 20196 yr As far as gringo tacos go, Rusty Taco does a bang up job sometimes. They can be hit or miss but I like their breakfast tacos, chicken fajita, and the above pictured fried chicken "team fave" style (add avocado).

Tacos patron, pretty good stuff but a little pricey for tacos. Good drink specials

Looking forward to a change in lunch spots.
July 4, 20196 yr I’m sure I’ll get negged for this, but I find the difference between average tacos and great tacos to be negligible. Almost not even worthy of their own thread (could just fall within Mexican or TexMex thread). I love them. But the best one I’ve ever had wasn’t that much better than an average one and wasn’t all that memorable.

July 4, 20196 yr I can eat whatever I damn well please so you can GTFO. Mexicans lost the taco monopoly a long time ago. Eat whatever you want. Just don’t call that shit a taco. Gringo tacos are a tortilla sandwich. Fight me!
July 5, 20196 yr no way... good street tacos are so much better. Velvet taco is garbage. Only go there if I’m drunk and nothing else is open. Tacos la ventana... nope Fuel city tacos.... meh... Tacos y mas... meh Tacos la Banqueta .... fuck yeah Mario Bros Tacos.... fuck yeah again Need to try El Come Torchy’s, Taco Deli, velvet taco I wouldn’t lump with the ones above. Taco Deli > Torchy’s >>>>>>>>> Velvet taco.
