Best Pastor and Barbacoa on the planet. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, bowls.... whatever. Everything here is crazy good.

This place has never shown up for me before, probably because we just moved from Irving to Coppell and it is now much closer. WOW, I am honestly sad I did not know about it sooner because this might be my new favorite Mexican spot. There is a huge rotating sphere of pastor pork cooking in the back, the tortillas taste homemade, and the prices cannot be beat. My husband had the three taco combo with rice and beans ($12). The beans were piping hot and incredibly good. His meat choices were pastor, birria, and chicken, and the birria might have been the winner. I ordered a gordita with pastor for only four dollars. It was stuffed with meat, beans, cheese, salsa, and all the good things. The outside was like a fried, crispy corn pita situation that I am still thinking about. I will be hard pressed to order anything else because the gordita was that good, but I already know everything here is going to be delicious. It looks like they recently added sopes too, which I adore, so we will definitely be back. Oh and bathroom was nice and clean! read more

Really good street tacos! We tried the Pastor, Chicken, Barbacoa and Steak tacos, the refried beans, Mexican rice, and chips and salsa. Our favorite was the steak taco! Rice and beans were very good, chips were great, the salsa was good but it wasn't spicy at all so if you like spicy salsa I would skip this one. I didn't think the hot sauces were spicy enough either, but they were still good! Everything came out very quickly, servers were friendly, and food is good! I would come back! read more

Good place to go for a quick street taco fix. You order at the counter, you're given a number, and then they bring the food to your table. There's a soda machine as well as bottled drinks in coolers. It's a very casual, relaxed atmosphere. My husband and I stopped in to try a new place. It was clean and comfortable. He ordered the 3 chicken taco combo with refried beans and chips and salsa. I ordered the barbacoa tacos with black beans and chips and salsa. My husband's order was incorrect when they brought it out, as he was given rice instead of refried beans. He kept it and we shared his rice and my black beans. The individual servings are big, so plenty for 2 people anyway. The chips are a huge serving also, but the salsa is in a smallish container. My husband really enjoyed his food. Honestly, I didn't like the barbacoa, so I just took it out of the tortillas and ate them by themselves. The barbacoa was very strong and had a wild meat taste to me. There was a TON of barbacoa in the tortillas. A TON. I still gave the food 4 stars because I'm sure many people would enjoy the barbacoa. The chips and salsa were so-so. We cleaned up our own table, put the trash in the bin, and sat our trays on top. Easy peasy. read more

I don't know maybe I'm confused? It wasn't "bad" but it certainly wasn't "pay $35 for two people at a walk up counter" level of good. I would go to Torchy's or even fuzzys any day over this place and be much more satisfied. 3% up charge for credit card which I didn't see clearly visible anywhere. Space was clean and I saw them go clean the table immediately after another group left. read more

Been coming here since 2016. The chicken nachos have always been such an amazing meal. They'd tacos are always good and they are generous with their meats. Their horchata has a great amount of cinnamon. The chips always have a good crunch and their salsas add a wonderful flavor. The yellow queso is always delicious and one of my favorite. If you need a good craft beer or a nice refreshing beverage, this a great stop. Casual and very great quality. The owner remembered how much I loved coming into this spot. They are super sweet. Always a little bit busy. Also no outside beverages. read more

Came here for a quick lunch while in the area, and was not disappointed! You order at the counter and then wait for the food to be delivered to your table. There was a line, but it moved fairly quickly, and the food was ready after less than 10 minutes! I ordered a steak burrito, which was large and very well portioned. The steak tasted fresh and wasn't chewy like some places. We also got elotes, which was an aluminum circular dish of corn piled high with mayo and cheese. It was great! Service was friendly and polite. They also sell beer for those interested (see photo). They have a good variety of beers to choose from. I'll be coming back if I'm in the area again! read more

Ale Taco - Beer fridge - Tacos Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

First time ordering a bowl, and I'm wondering if there's a lettuce shortage I'm unaware of. I ordered takeout--three tacos with two sides for a friend and a steak bowl for myself. The food was ready on time, but the meat was inconsistently flavored. The rice, which I expected to be Mexican-style, tasted more like plain white rice. Overall, I'll be sticking with the tacos next time. read more

Ambiance: fast casual/counter order. Plenty of tables. Not recommended for groups larger than 6 (mostly small tables) Service: kind, quick Food: 5/5 stars The tacos are so good! I ordered the steak/beef tacos with cilantro and onions. They were generously portioned and tasty! Additionally, my husband ordered a side of the corn cup (elote). The portion was plenty between the 2! It was a whole plate full, and SO good! read more

Genuinely how does this place have good reviews. If this place has no haters I am dead. I wish I had a photo of the slimy wet disgusting meat I paid $75 for. I have never had taco meat come wet. read more

Solid taco joint in Carrollton! $2 per taco and pastor and steak are awesome! The meat is quite tender and I could say that the steak needs a little more flavoring. Orders usually take less than ten minutes and the churros are heavenly! They have plenty of parking and have an unassuming building. It's always friendly counter service as well. read more

We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop by since my fiancee had ordered some to-go food for his employees several months ago and they all enjoyed it. First impression - pretty cool spot when you walk in. The coolers with lotsa beer options was super cool and the clean restrooms are always a plus. The menu was a bit overwhelming, although I did appreciate all the choices. I went with the gorditas - one chicken one beef fajita. It's usually loaded with beans, lettuce, crema and some other stuff. I went with just frijoles and grilled jalapenos. They forgot the jalapenos and when she tried to take it back, I just asked her instead to bring them to me on the side so I could start eating with my fiancee. She brought be sliced cold jalapenos when I was half way done with my food. : ( The gorditas were good, I like that they lightly fry them so theyre a bit crispy. The chicken was juicy and very flavorful. My fiancee had some tacos, he stated they were fine however, the barbacoa was very greasy, more than barbacoa should ever be. So he didn't eat that one. The al pastor was flavorful and exactly as expected. The service was very dry. No smiles no effort, didn't seem like no one wanted to be there other than to socialize with each other, with the exception of one young lady who seemed to have nothing to do so she started cleaning the glass door. read more

I've been here for both breakfast and dinner and both have been delicious! The service and food at this spot are both exceptional! After ordering at the counter it didn't take more than 5 minutes to get your food! My husband and I both got the 3 taco plate with beans and rice. We also got a side of queso and chips. The waiter brought over two bottles of salsa. My husband loves the spicer green one but I'm a fan of the more mild orange/red! I added a little of the milder salsa to the queso and it added the needed heat. The tacos are great! i'm a big fan of the pastor and the barbacoa! While the barbacoa is delicious it's definitely on the fattier side and is much better with a little bit of spice from the salsa. Don't forget to try the churros here!! This place is definitely a staple in the area! read more

Great little gem! Who doesn't like tacos? The fish taco was ok, the mango pico was not it, you can take it off and add some salsa to save the dish. This dish lost a star on the rating for me. Loaded nachos is what this place is all about! read more

Lot of positives about this place. First time trying it out December 2023. Lot of good options, and I went with a fish taco and carne asada fries! All the flavors were there but I will say I'm used to San Diego fries which uses shredded cheeses and mixed guac and sour cream. Here they use queso, but that's good in a different way. Mango margarita was great too! I'm ready to go back! read more

"The website advertisement is misleading. It shows a picture of two fish tacos for $3.75, which led me to believe I would receive two tacos for that price. However, I only received one taco for $3.75. I called the restaurant after receiving my order, and the employee advised me to call another number to request a refund. When I contacted that number, I was told they could not issue a refund, even though they acknowledged that the website is misleading." read more

Best tacos in Dallas! I got the three tacos, two sides deal which was very reasonably priced at like, $12 or a little less. Whatever, I would have paid more. I got the barbacoa, pastor, and chicken. All three were delicious. The Mexican rice was delicious. The salsas were delicious and served cold, which is so so good. The black beans were a tad bland. The service was great. They forgot one of my husband's taco and they brought it out before he had even finished his first taco. They weren't super friendly but they weren't rude or anything. They were slammed for lunch but were still working super efficiently. Plus. I was there to eat tacos, not make friends. Duh. read more

Stumbled upon this place a few years ago and it's a definite go-to every time I'm in Lewisville! The trompo in the kitchen hints at the legit al pastor tacos they serve up, and don't sleep on the asada ones either. Heads up, an elote order comes in an aluminum pie tin - a bit unexpected but tasty nonetheless, just make sure you really want that much elote or have someone to share with. My go-to order? The taco plate with 2-pastor, 1-asada on corn tortillas with rice and black beans, and a side of chips and guac. The chips are always freshly made and always piping hot! Go for the green salsa, I'd drench everything in it if I could! The staff is always really nice and the food comes out quickly, and they've always got music playing that'll have you moving in your seat. Hidden gem, indeed. read more

Decided to come here on a whim and I'm glad I did! I ordered 3 dozen tacos ahead of time, and still had to wait a little bit for the order but it was well worth it. The tacos are fresh and so tasty. I got a Mexican Coke while I waited for my order. They even have homemade desserts that I will check out next time. There is plenty of seating and parking. They even have beer and margaritas. The inside is nice and welcoming. They also have breakfast tacos. I will definitely be back. We tried the steak, pastor, chicken, barbacoa and fish tacos. All the meats were seasoned well. read more

I've really only had their burritos on repeat for a while now. They keep the place clean. They are fast and efficient. It's counter serve; you order at the register, pay, and they give you a number; you bring the number with you and find a place to sit. Plenty and varied seating. When the food is ready, they bring the food out to you along with green and red sauce squeezy bottles. Napkins up front. You can ask for a cup for water; grab the H2O from the soda machine. Bathrooms are in the back. Parking is easy peasy. Food is good enough that you may want to repeatedly come back. read more

On a Saturday hunt for a lunch spot, we stumbled upon this little gem nearby and thought, "Why not?" The moment you step inside, you can sense the cute, hip vibe, thanks to the trendy interior decorations that give it a welcoming feel. The person behind the counter was helpful when we're ordering. We tried a variety of tacos - barbacoa, steak, pastor, fish, and shrimp - and they were all very impressive. My kids particularly enjoyed their breakfast tacos. There's an authentic charm to this place that left us eager to return. read more

Great tacos. I love fish tacos and mango salsa always makes my day. I have never had catfish on tacos but it's great. I wouldn't mind more spice on the tacos but the sauces they keep on the table adds a nice kick. The pastor and shrimp tacos are great also. read more

Had some awesome tacos from fish, chicken, pork. Wish fish had more mango. Overall good stuff and will be back.

Great food and service! The red and green sauce are the best I have had anywhere. The burritos are amazing then add the sauce spectacular!

We took the tacos Togo. They have great menu and combo plates seems like great deals but I don't feel like rice and beans at the time I order so skipped the combo. I ordered babacoa, fish, and el pastor with no additional toppings. Everything tastes fantastic and well seasoned without additional sauce. I like corn elote a lot and decided to order it. It's cheesy and cream but lacking of flavor. I added the red sauce (salsa Roja) which comes with the tacos for extra flavor. It add some kick to the corn. I guess the Elote is supposed to be seasoned with their Cheetos topping but since we are on diet restriction and can't have Cheetos, we feel the elote is under seasoned. I like the atmosphere there and want to try more items and desserts next time. read more
