Dallas’ 13 Best Taco Spots

In Dallas, tacos aren’t just a meal — they’re a way of life. Whether you’re craving street-style classics, creative Tex-Mex, or breakfast tacos worth setting an alarm for, the city has no shortage of incredible options. We sifted through the favorites, hidden gems, and buzzy newcomers to bring you the 13 best taco spots in Dallas.

Revolver Taco Lounge

2646 Elm Street

This Deep Ellum spot opened in 2017 in a small space with just 49 seats. The popular taco lounge has since expanded to a storefront on Elm Street with outdoor seating, adding to its to-go space and intimate Purépecha tasting menu experience on Main Street. Owned by Regino Rojas, the corn tortillas are house-made and fresh as can be. The Octopus Al Pastor taco is the must-try here. It appeared on Netflix’s Taco Chronicles in 2023. And although $15 may seem like a hefty price for a single taco, it’s worth it.

Donde los Tacos

900 W. Davis Street

Opened in Oak Cliff in 2025, this new Mexico City-inspired spot instantly became a hit in the Dallas taco scene. It’s known for its grilled onion appetizer, Cebollitas Al 100%, suadero, trompo, vegan pastor (made with plant-based protein) tacos, and more.

Mami Coco

4500 Bryan Street & 2706 Samuell Boulevard

Opened by Gustavo De Los Rios in 2018, this East Dallas taco spot earned a spot in Yelp’s Top 100 Texas Restaurants in 2022. Since then, it’s expanded to a second location. Don’t miss Taco Tuesday, when you can get five tacos and a canned drink for just $10.25. Mami Coco favorites include shredded beef, barbacoa, beef tongue, and chicken. The enchiladas (with your choice of meat) are also quite tasty.

Resident Taqueria

9661 Audelia Road, Suite 112

Founded in 2015 by Andrew Marc Savoie, this Lake Highlands spot offers some of the most unique tacos in Dallas. The chef-driven menu includes the Pecan Smoked Chicken, Ode to Texas Short Rib, and Braised Pork Shoulder. They also offer sides like elote, garlicky pinto beans, Mexican fried rice, and more.

Tacos Juancho

3604 Oak Lawn Avenue

Just opened last fall by Juan Rodríguez (owner of El Atorón and Ever Jordan), this new taquería earned a spot on Food & Wine magazine’s 8 Hottest New Taco Spots to Visit in the US this April. During a recent visit to the new Oak Lawn restaurant, we enjoyed the barbacoa, pastor, and asada tacos.

El Come Taco

2513 N. Fitzhugh Avenue

Established in 2013, El Come brings the roots of Mexico City to Dallas, serving traditional tacos. Located in East Dallas, the counter service taco shop offers so many taco options. From meat lovers to more adventurous tacos, such as the Lengua de la Casa — a cow tongue taco—, there’s something to eat for whatever mood you’re in.

If you’re feeling adventurous, slip into the neighboring La Vuida Negra, also run by El Come owners and brothers Javier and Luis Villalva. Disguised as a bridal shop from the outside, this tiny, moody mezcal bar has become a fast local favorite.

Chilangos Tacos

Multiple Locations

With locations in East Dallas, Downtown, and beyond, this Chingona Mexico City-inspired taqueria has quickly taken over Dallas since its debut in 2019. Owners focus on the basics here, offering the most natural ways to serve tacos as if you were in Mexico. The menu has everything from al pastor to hongos, and you can even ask for a surprise off-menu taco. Carne asada tacos are another favorite, along with barbacoa.

Milagro Taco Cantina

440 Singleton Boulevard, Suite 100

Founded by Jesus Carmona, who formerly owned Tacos Mariachi before both locations closed during the pandemic, Milagro Taco Cantina recently expanded to offer more than just tacos. The menu now boasts Tijuana street flavors and Tex-Mex classics. But, in our opinion, the tacos are still the star here. The popular pulpo (octopus), smoked salmon, and shrimp tacos remain hits.

Taqueria La Ventana

Multiple Locations

Known for its funky and casual vibe, this taqueria offers everyday Mexican street tacos, with white corn tortillas and fresh salsas handmade every day. There are three Taqueria La Ventana locations in Dallas, including one at the Dallas Farmers Market, so take your pick for lunch or dinner.

Taco y Vino

213 W. Eighth Street

A favorite spot in Bishop Arts, this taco and wine bar serves up some stellar tacos in an old home on Eighth Street. There’s a spacious outdoor patio and indoor seating to enjoy everything from cochinita pibil to crispy ahi tuna tacos. The Six Tacos & A Bottle of Wine special for $48 is popular — featuring mix-and-match tacos with a choice of a daily selection of red, white, or rosé wine.

The Taco Stand

3227 McKinney Avenue, Suite 100

This authentic taqueria comes from La Jolla, California, and opened in Dallas’ Uptown in 2024. The menu includes carne asada, al pastor, pollo asado, mahi mahi, nopal, and several other tacos served with handmade tortillas. You’ll also find breakfast tacos like chorizo, mushrooms and spinach, bacon and egg, and more.

Tacos La Banqueta Puro DF

1305 Carroll Avenue and 7233 Gaston Avenue

This hole-in-the-wall spot serves up some of the best Mexican food in the city. Taco options include al pastor, bistek, cabeza, tripa, and so much more. You’ll also find breakfast tacos featuring chorizo, bacon, and potatoes with egg.

Tacodeli

Multiple Locations

I have to include one of the taco spots I visit most often, Tacodeli, for its Pollo En Mole taco and the Tacodeli bowl. Since opening in Austin in 1999, Tacodeli has only expanded to the Dallas area — keeping things local to Texas. I’m sure you’ve seen their Papas, Egg, & Cheese, Jess Special, and Migas breakfast tacos in coffee shops all across Dallas. It’s just that popular. They also offer daily special tacos, so there’s always something new to try.
