Specializing in classic Mexican fare, this vibrant taco spot brings a rich blend of flavors and textures that celebrate traditional recipes with a modern twist.

From the moment you approach the walk-up counter, the enticing aromas of sizzling meats and fresh tortillas set the scene for a satisfying meal. El Tacaso's menu boasts standout options such as their perfectly seasoned Beef Tacos with Flour Tortillas and the ever-popular Breakfast Tacos, crafted with eggs paired with bacon, ham, potatoes, or spicy chorizo — each bite a comforting embrace of familiar, hearty flavors. The Quesadillas melt together gooey cheese and tender fillings, while the generous Burritos California envelop savory beef fajitas, potatoes, and cheese for a filling and mouthwatering indulgence.

One can’t miss the array of chalupas and gorditas, priced affordably around $3.00, each bursting with authentic fillings like Pastor Pork that delivers a smoky, adobo-infused punch, or the uniquely textured Gordita De Nopales which highlights tender cactus with cheese. The Spicy Beef Tacos ignite your palate with just the right amount of heat balanced by fresh salsas and cool dollops of sour cream, which are conveniently available as sides to customize your feast.

The dining atmosphere feels warm and genuine, reminiscent of a beloved neighborhood taco stand where locals gather for quick, flavorful meals any time of day. Several guests praise their efficient service and accessibility — with parking nearby and the option to call in orders even late at night. This genuine vibe is echoed by loyal customers like Keydy Sanchez, who hails the barbacoa as “without a doubt the best in Dallas,” while Charity Powell raves about the tacos and quesadillas being so irresistible she visited three times in one week.

    Amazing food that took about 10 minutes to wait on. Wish the portion size was a bit bigger for the prices of the tacos but loved the burrito that made up for everything!!

    El tacaso is amazing, a must try! Without a doubt the best barbacoa in Dallas, and the pastor is onion and adobo seasoned pork that give grease and meat a new standard, anyone with a Soul should experience it at least once. The fajita is seasoned and cooked with sliced onion finding the perfect balance of steak, fat, and seasoning that coats your mouth and lips with a delicious flavor, and this place is open 24 HOURS!!! What else you need to hear? The tacos are consistently delicious I hope they continue blessing us with their tacos for many more years!

    My first time at this business. It’s awesome- it has an elote stand, small convenience store and is a taco stand. The store closes at 9pm, while the taco stand stays open late night. I had breakfast tacos today and bought a snack and a drink inside the convenient store. I’ll be trying their tacos another day. It definitely has authenticity vibe.

    Omg! Omg! Omg! The tacos and quesadillas here are sooo good. Ate here three times in one week. Affordable prices ($2.50 per taco, $10 per quesadillas) so good I packed some for my road trip back home. I recommend this highly. They take credit cards and they accept call in orders (even at midnight). Don’t think about it anymore- just go!

    No joke, the juiciest barbacoa taco ever. Al pastor was absolutely delicious. This place 100% HITS when you’re hungry. And it tastes high quality, and very very authentic. Legit taco stand.
