If you love, small family, Mexican restaurants, this is certainly a great stop. Food was above average and prices are very reasonable. The service was quite attentive, but not intrusive. I had the nachos which are typically a favorite when I try out a new Mexican restaurant. These were the full plate kind instead of the pile of chips with Velveeta sauce over the top, which is more to my liking . Great place for lunch or an early dinner. Take the whole family. They are certainly welcome. It looks like they want my review to be a little longer. Let me add that they can see large and small parties as the tables are four top, which can be put together to see 8 to 12. It is casually decorated and a very warm and welcome place to have dinner. Again, a little Mexican restaurant to keep in mind the next time you're looking for a Mexican fix. Chris read more

Favorite spot for tacos Al pastor, always lean, not much fat on them, great flavor! Small spot, good service. Wish they would open up a location up North, Allen/McKinney area. read more

El Tizoncito - Tacos Al pastor 10/10 Flautas with Chicken and potato 10/10 - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I haven't been in a while, and never to this location. Unlike the Oak Cliff location this one is set up more like a diner. This time I had the torta de milanesa and Mango water they were both great. My wife had the pastor tacos and my daughter the flautas. The salsa was a bit of let down. The service was excellent! read more

Amazing restaraunt!! My friend and I decided to come here for a quick lunch and I was glad I chose a good location. We had 4 tacos each, and all of them came out hot, flavorful and fast. They serve salsa, cilantro and onions on the side and the horchata was delicious as well. The prices were very good and I will be coming back. Restaraunt was clean and the service was great too. Not very busy and no wait for a weds lunch. read more

After a hard day of work, this little place had a lot to offer. Open late, fast and friendly service, not fancy at all but good food. Had their Parrillanda (sampler) plate - $15 - 4 tacos in a variety plus a quesadilla and some guac. Great selection when you dont want to make a decision. Tacos were very good - authentic - tasty and fast. Chips/salsa (the bellwether of all mexican restaurants) was excellent! I recommend this place for sure. read more

El Tizoncito - Parrillada tizoncito - sampler taco place - very good - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I meant to go to one of my favorite taco places, Taqueria Los Angeles, but ended up here due to mixing up the names. For that price point, I expected the plates to be great plus to come with beans and rice, but it didn't. The complimentary beans was nice as well as the little ramekins of salsas and toppings. However, the food wasn't fresh or good. The food definitely needed all the ramekins and extra. I wouldn't go back due to it being overpriced and the low quality of food. Plenty of better taco places within the town at the same price point and even for cheaper. read more

This little hole in the wall may be some of the best food I have had in a while. The service was great! Not overwhelming or hovering, but kept an eye on us and cleared the table as we steadily cleared through our dishes. It's so hard to find good food that's open super late- and isn't fast food. My boyfriend and I often share every meal so we can taste everything... and this is the first time our insatiable greed has overruled an unspoken rule. Absolutely delicious and can't recommend it enough!!! Can't wait to come back soon read more

El Tizoncito - Four tacos Bistec Con Queso Corn Tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We came here as a spur of the moment. A quick bite to eat and out the door we went. Their tacos were good (my usual go to - Pastor Tacos) but the flan definitely hit the spot. The service was subpar. I think he was annoyed with us and couldn't wait for us girls to leave. He mentioned some drinks to my friend, which she went with and unfortunately it was the most disgusting thing we tasted. Otherwise, tacos after a night out. You can't ever say no too. read more

I was in the mood for tacos and el tizoncito didn't disappoint. The food and service was really good. You can't go wrong with the alambre or the tacos. Agua de mango and michelada comes highly recommended. Guacamole was on point as well. I will definitely go back to try out other dishes. My wife daughter and I left very happy. Thanks tizoncito. read more

It's been a while since eating here, but the last two times I have it's still as good as it was. Very small place with really friendly staff and good food. Tacos and tortas are delicious. The pastor actually comes from a trompo and that's what makes them good. Double corn tortilla with good flavor. read more

The presentation was good the services was good but the food was tasteless beware!! The restaurant was clean that's a plus

The best chilaquiles I've ever had. Make you wanna hit ya mama with a baseball bat good.

It was ok, but not what it's hyped up to be. I'd rather have Pollo Regio street tacos with chicken. Maybe I need to try again.

I've always loved the tacos, but the last few times I've gone I've tried other things and everything I've had is as good as the tacos. I think I found a new favorite today the sopas are amazing and full of some many wonderful favors that you will crave. read more

Good original Mexican food Over priced though extremely over priced. Ain't no way a torta damn near 15 with no fries read more

We came here on a hot summer day and we were pleasantly surprised of how good the food was. From the cold and perfectly sweetened horchata to the tacos, everything tasted amazing. Definitely get the pastor tacos with cheese, bacon and jalapeños grilled, personally I prefer to add quite a bit of the lime juice to cut through the meatiness and cheese, and also top with cilantro onions and the red salsa. Red salsa is much spicier than the green one. Both are really good. If I can ask for one more thing, I would just wish that they didn't keep the cilantro out for too long. You can tell when cilantro sits out and start to dry up and get wilted. Our waitress was very attentive and food came out within 10 minutes. The complimentary black bean soup was flavorful and light. Would definitely go back often! read more

The location of this place is a shopping center, so there's quite a bit of parking! I'm going to be honest this place doesn't look like much, but boy is everything top tier! Although, the staff mainly speaks Spanish they were all so kind and patient. The bathroom was clean. Anytime the stove/kitchen are visible it gives me a certain level of comfort because I can see the food being prepared! I ordered street tacos with corn tortillas and steak, so yummy! I ended up ordering 4 more... My mojito was perfect! And I ended up ordering another one of those as well... Although this place looks quite humble, I highly highly recommend it! I'll definitely be back read more

It's one of those nights when you are on the prowl For good authentic tacos and finally found one not too far from home. With all the great review we read on yelp we ended up here. Plenty of parking and only a few people sitting inside. It's a small place with several tables and 3 wait staffs. Our server was very nice and offers great services. We were served with a black beans bowl complimentary to your meal orders. A condiment trey comes with limes , hot and mild sauce , cilantro and onions. We ordered a tamarind/guava/mango margarita with salt rims around the glass that was full of tropical flavors. Also ordered the signature overnight brisket dishes and a couple of soft tacos which was amazing and delicious. Price are reasonable and affordable with great drinks . Services are good also. Would come Back again read more

Excellent service! This is a taco house so don't be surprised. You get the best black bean soup you will ever eat and delicious condiments when you sit down. They ran out of menudo when my husband got there but they were kind and made sure we got a small bowl after our dinner because she heard we came there specifically for the menudo. My husband loved it but just a warning that it is spicy. The street tacos were amazing and I highly recommend the green salsa. Red is good but hot. read more

Authentic. Authentic. Authentic. This Mexican joint ALWAYS delivers. This is a comfortable, cozy taqueria. Order the tacos pastor, menudo, & tortas. They serve you with black beans (frijoles negro) as soon as you sit down. They are fantastic. Best bang-for-your-buck Mexican joint you will ever go to. read more

E V E R Y T H I N G here was amazing. We found this restuarant via Yelp. My favorite was the mushroom and cheese appetizer - whoa. As I am writing this it leads me to crave it again. I would 100% revisit this place again, and I look forward to doing so. The place is really small, but we walked in and were seating immediately. The food came out quickly and it was all fresh. We also had the Torta - super good. I love how they present the salsas in the little carrier, its a nice touch. read more

Food was flavorful and well marinated! The meat was so juicy and most places I visit have dry meat. The cheese added an amazing touch in the tacos. I appreciate the fact that the double corn tortillas were not soggy or greasy. This is probably top 2 taco places I've been to. Very impressed. They give you an assortment of onions, two sauces and cilantro. They served piping hot beans which my partner absolutely loved! (Both of us are not bean fans) amazing flavor all around! We unknowingly went in 35 minutes before closing. We didn't realize until after we had already ordered but staff were still so very polite and accepting of us eating in. Service was very fast and food came out hot and fresh! Definitely one of my favorite places in the DFW. read more

I saw the reviews and thought why not try this place. Overall the customer service was great except for the cashier who decided to stare strangely while I paid my bill. The meat on the tacos were good. However, I do not agree with the skimpy misleading "large" guacamole. I paid $8.50 and I expected to see a large guacamole. It was the same portion you pay at Chipotle for $5.85 which includes the chips. Needless to say it only was the portion lacking but it's definitely lacking flavor and I eat guacamole at least 2times a day. I have been ripped off. read more

Great Mexican food and Agua Fresca and VERY REASONABLY PRICED The problem with this place is after you eat here you will be disappointed when you go to other places!!!! They offer free refills on the agua fresca - tried both the hibiscus and mango and they are excellent their quality is even better than any fruiteria in Dallas. The portions are generous and everything is cooked fresh to order. Don't miss their GIANT flautas - they are a treat !!! read more

We actually went here on a random night and it did not disappoint. I definitely was a little thrown off and nervous because it was two breaths close to being a hole in the wall joint, but once I realized everyone barely spoke English- I knew I was in for an authentic meal! We ordered a lot of tacos and a sample platter- every single item was amazing! I am so glad we went here and the prices were great too! read more

I love El Tizoncito! However limited, their menu is just perfect. Their dishes are not greasy at all. The pastor tacos are served straight from the torno, so the meat is never cold or sitting on a tray. Their salsas are flavorful without being overpowering. Their drinks are so good! And the service is great, always prompt and with a smile. read more

Well I was excited they were open late and close to where we were located, but unfortunately the actual taste of the tacos didn't own up to the 4 stars this restaurant has on here. We ordered a combo of everything within our tacos and 1 thing that was consistent is that ALL were bland. I like how they provide all the condiments as a cute little display on your table, but even after adding almost all of them to the tacos, that didn't help. Im a corn tortilla girl and the ones on these were hard as I don't know what. Now they do give you some complimentary bomb black beans with lots of flavor, so adding the juice of these to your tacos helped, and the lemonade was good, but I can't give more than 2 stars. I may give them another try if in the area and hungry, but yeah... read more
