Dallas-Fort Worth has both Tex-Mex classics and authentic regional Mexican food. Oak Cliff is the heartland, but great tacos are scattered throughout the sprawling metro.
Oak Cliff Authentic
El Si Hay
Cash only, no-frills taqueria. The barbacoa on weekends is essential.
Tacos La Banqueta
Truck turned permanent spot. Al pastor from a spinning trompo.
Trompo
Trendy but authentic. The tacos al pastor are some of the city's best.

Dallas Tex-Mex since 1918. Not artisanal, but authentic to Dallas history.

Cheese enchiladas and brisket tacos. Old-school Dallas vibes.
