I would go back. They use big chunks of meat in their tacos. They do add grease to their tortillas, which I love. The taco trio includes any three tacos of your choice; plus the salsa, cilantro, white onion, limes, and red pickled onion. The tacos are big too. The big winner was the peach sangria swirl daquiri. read more

Side Door Taco - Tacos Near Me - Irving, Texas

Always takes an eternity to get food, half the time they cancel the order after 30-45 minutes. Too bad because the food is fantastic.

A TRUE (and literal) hidden gem! Behind an unmarked black door on the right side of Lamberti's lies an online-order-only authentic Mexico City taco shop that feels like you're in on the best kept secret in town. You place your order, wait about 15-20 minutes, and then call once you've parked in the designated spots to let them know you've arrived. We each ordered 3 tacos on flour tortillas: I went with the taco of the month (two taquitos), a pastor, and a stewed beef (Suerdo). Hubby got a Suerdo, a pastor, and a chicken tinga. We also split a $3 side of queso--pro tip: it does NOT come with chips. Good thing we were prepared and muled our own chips just in case. We also brought our own sour cream, because, you know, always be prepared. This is definitely an eat-in-the-car kind of deal, so BYO napkins because it was messy, and none were provided. And maybe a fork if you don't want to go full caveman on your tacos. Now, let's talk flavors--the pastor was incredible, easily worth the mess. And those taquitos? They should be on the menu permanently. Just eat them quick because they're packed in foil with some tomatoes and lettuce, so they get soggy fast. But hey, it's all part of the adventure, right? All that food for $22 plus tip was a steal! I mean, where else can you get a taco feast that tastes this good and feel like you're part of some secret club? read more

These tacos hit! You can't beat cheap tacos and cheap margaritas. The catch, they operate out of the side door of Lamberti's literally side door. Be prepared to eat in your car or home. These tacos are worth it! read more

Giving it a 4-star rating to not affect their average rating since I never actually tried the food. Using this post to let them know I WOULD have tried them if their ordering process was more clear. They show photos that don't represent what you're ordering. The chicken taquito shows three... you get two. The "Campechano! Sampler" photo shows what looks like 12+ tacos with queso and chips but apparently it's only six tacos with no queso... no chips. There's an option to add queso for $3 but it does not say whether it includes chips. Queso AND chips is $3.50 so I assume maybe not? But who knows? Also, not many choices for sides. Queso (and chips?) or Salsa and chips. No rice? No beans? No elote? No guac? After one clarification phone call and not feeling like making another in addition to the fact the drive was too far for the confusing goal, I opt'd for street tacos (and sides) closer to home. read more

This has been our go to spot to order some food that we know will be quality and leave leftovers. Once you know where to go to order and pickup (online "ten tacos" is the way to go!; pickup parking spots on north side of Lamberti's building), it's a great deal and super tasty! Great price for tacos (at least when you get the 10-that's what we always get-our favorites being the grilled chicken and asado), drinks to-go, and chips and salsa/queso. We have ordered here over 15 times for myself and my husband, as well as us and guests, and it's always a hit! The order has always been ready to go on time, with just a small wait if you also order drinks, and staff is very friendly. Definitely worth a try. read more

Cool speakeasy vibes. Kind of hidden though. But food is solid- flavorful, filling, and includes various different sauces and toppings such as cilantro, lime, onions. Have to drive up and call in your order so I recommend calling in your order before arrival. They also bring the food out to your car. Pretty good taco spot! read more

I love trying new taco shops, and street tacos are my favorite. We ordered ahead using their website. All tacos are prepared to-go and literally served from the back door of another restaurant. When we pulled up, we called to let them know which lane we were parked in. We had 5 tacos and all were bundled together with the extra toppings (e.g., cilantro, onion, lime) on the side. The meat was very good - chicken, spiced chicken, brisket, asada. The tacos were double wrapped in soft corn tortillas. The flavors were delicious but the tacos were really greasy. We also weren't given any napkins so it was messy, too. It made eating and enjoying the tacos a bit difficult. read more

I love that this is basically a "speakeasy" taco joint. I wouldn't have even known it was there...found it by accident. Delicious chicken tinga tacos. The suadero was really good too. Love that they give you pickled red onions. Plenty of them, too. I also really liked the hot sauces...especially the salsa blanca. It wasn't really spicy at all, but just creamy and yummy. They give lots of raw onions and cilantro also, but I don't like either of those. They are about 3 X the size of regular street tacos. Great value for the money. Frozen booze to go, too! My only gripe would be that it took about 20 minutes later than they said it would. I called them 3-4 times once I was parked outside their door, and let them know I was still waiting for my tacos. But, the manager made up for this by bringing me a few coupons for free tacos, the next time I'm there. I will definitely try this place again. read more

I don't add many reviews but ordered pastor tacos and chips and salsa, pastor was Cooked decently 6.5/10 tortillas were crumbly not fully cooked 4/10 Chips were cooked crispy but in oil that's been overused as well as over salted. Oil is burnt and bad tasting. Salsa verde was very watered down and no spices. Vegetables provided abundant. Overall 2.5/50 only 3.0 based on amount of food provided for 20$ read more

Really surprised by our experience compared to the reviews, not sure if they just had a bad day or what. This "ghost kitchen" is run by Lamberti's; their chefs cook the taco menu on the side. Smart business idea for some extra money, but this also means that when the restaurant is busy, your taco order falls to the wayside. We ordered 6 tacos-- shrimp, chicken, and beef-- plus the chips and queso. They told us it would take 30-40 minutes. Really long time for a small order. It ended up coming out closer to 55 minutes after the order was placed, after we called them twice inquiring about it. It was ALL cold when we got it. -Shrimp were completely raw, inedible. We threw them away. - Chicken was dry, unseasoned. - Didn't personally eat the beef, but was told it was not good. - The queso was so cold it was hard and we had to microwave it back home. - Got 2 of every salsa and was really unimpressed with all of them. - All tacos were very small and pretty overpriced for the size alone, even if they tasted good. - Queso tasted almost exactly like those jars of Tostitos queso you buy at the store. Was so excited to try this place, but it was so disappointing. Lamberti's serves great food so I would never expect them to put out such subpar cooking. Absolutely would not be back or recommend it. read more

So I was on the hunt for some authentic tacos. I came across "Side door tacos". I read the reviews and there was some good feedback about the tacos. I was very excited to try this place. As it turns out this place hands down has the worst Tacos and Nachos I have ever had. So in a nutshell ( LAMBERTIS RISTORANTE) is slanging horrible tacos out of their kitchens side door. The reviews about this place must have been forced from the employees because the food was extremely underwhelming. read more

You had me at Taco, but was still very surprised at what I brought home. We ordered the Campechano Sampler. People, you need to know this is full size tacos! A great deal for the price but so much fooood! So as one might assume, the sampler had every type of taco on the menu. They were all delicious. A review said to get the queso, it was accurate. Queso was delicious and worth the drive alone! The website said there was dine option, but that was not accurate. We were told we could sit on the patio if we wanted though. This may be added to my "dinner menu" rotation. read more

Cool concept. Very good tacos. They're bigger than most and very generous with the filling. Delicious and diverse assortment of sauce options. read more

Wow this place is a great deal for the price! I'd say the tacos are slightly larger than what I think of when I think of food truck street tacos, but very packed with meat! My favorite was the chicken tinga, followed by the pulled pork. The carne asada is pretty good, but a little too tough. But that's my only complaint! The salsa is fresh and spicy too. The taco trio comes with tons of onions, cilantro, and pickled onions to add yourself. Yum! The only way to order is to call, so call before you arrive and save some time. Look for parking spots with the Side Door Taco logo next to Lamberti's. read more

Food was good much bigger than most places they were very kind just make sure you know " side door " should be taken literally!

I want to give this place a 5 so bad! The food is just so good! But it takes SOOOO LONG to get your order. Best tacos in this immediate area and it's not close. The wait is actually worth it. Wish they were open for breakfast tacos - they'd have all of my business! read more

Nailed it. Torta, chicken tacos and Asado Tacos were so good. The food was so good. The sauce are spicy but not overwhelmingly that you can't enjoy the food. The Torta is huge. The tacos are big, everything is separated so the food doesn't get soggy, honestly, Genius! Pro tip: Order online or call ahead. When you arrive for pick up park on the labeled spots and call again. Someone will come out of the side door with your order. Overall, I will definitely order again !! read more

Side Door Taco - Three Taco Trio (Choose 3) with Chips and Queso 6 oz - Tacos Near Me - Irving, Texas

You're JOKING!! I didn't have the highest expectations considering it's run out of another restaurant but let me tell you, these were some of the B E S T tacos i've had in a long while!!

Side Door Taco - Tacos Near Me - Irving, Texas

It's tough to find. Located in the side of the Italian restaurant and across from crumble cookie. I tried the Al pastor and carne asada on flour. Both were great as was the tortilla. The chips and queso were fire and are a great deal. I'll definitely go again! read more

This place is literally a hidden gem! The tacos are always on point and nice size. The drinks are always amazing. And the staff was amazing in case you miss the "door" love this place. I always come here for lunch. read more

I don't know how I chanced upon this place with a random Google search, BUT.. BEST freaking food. I actually called them to convey how their pastor torta blew my mind and became one of my favorite restaurants instantly. That was embarrassing. But I don't care. read more

I would give them five stars but they forgot my sauce. What a great change as far as taco's go. There is so many tx places so go. But this is so different. Real mexican tacos. So many choose. You cannot go wrong no matter what you choose. You can get drinks to go. So here is important info. Order online or do order ahead take out. No counter or access to building. Try this once. You will never go back to your local taco place. Why would you. read more

Amazing food! Our favorite was the tinga tacos and el pastor!!!! Definitely coming back! Food was ready quick !

I guess they're out of business since we ended up at an empty store front defined in maps as their location.

They possibly have the best tacos in the DFW area!!! Taco sizes are amazing full of the type of meat or item you order. Price is great for the amount of food you get. Really awesome place. It is not much to look at and it's literally a side door next to a bigger restaurant but man is there food amazing! Highly recommend read more

Last time I went the queso was really good, this time the consistency was a bit off. Also the grilled chicken tacos were dry. I may come back to try the shredded chicken but it'll probably be a last resort. They had the right idea but the execution wasn't the best. Service was good otherwise. read more

Had the chicken tinga, which I was not a fan of they are very tomato-y Along with pastor which was dry. It's an okay place nothing to great. Meats were not flavorful. I would give it another chance thou. read more

Went here about 30 mins before they closed, tacos were fresh and pretty good! My fav was the chicken tinga, least fav was the grilled chicken as it was a bit too dry for me. I also had the margarita, though it wasn't strong it was decent/expected for a $3 margarita. I will definitely return! read more

What a refreshing treat. Foodsby delivered to the office today three (3) street tacos. Today's choice was Suadero (braised then pan fried beef). These were AWESOME! Each taco wasn't soaked and falling apart (a problem when ordering delivery). The side of cilantro and pickled onions was outstanding. I chose the WHITE sauce (hot) and it was fabulous. Bonus: you get one for EACH taco. I will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Fantastic tacos! Absolutely nothing went to waste. I got the grilled chicken tacos with chips and queso and everything was perfect. Chicken was juicy, the tortillas were fresh, queso was terrific, and the chips were crispy! Excellent customer service as well very nice and obviously appreciative of our purchase. Will be going back again soon! read more

Boyfriend and I had just moved here and our first meal was tacos. I can't tell you how amazing these tasted. We were a little thrown off by the location (it's a literal side door to a different restaurant) but it only added to the experience. Customer service was great over the phone and in person. Definitely some of the best food I've had period let alone best tacos. read more

They literally serve tacos out of a side door!! Lol the tacos were great and were actually bigger than most street tacos I have had before. They were packed with meat and came with a lot toppings that were neatly placed on the side of the tacos. The salsa was amazing and warm which I loved! The queso wasn't really my style, I could tell that it was made from scratch but I like my cheese pretty processed ‍. Customer service was also very good, we were greeted with a smile when picking up our tacos. Sooooo glad we stumbled upon this place while visiting Las Colinas! Must try!! read more

I have ordered from Side Door Taco now 4 times. I'd like to add a picture, but I usually end up digging in right away. I have tried all of the different meats except the chicken tinga and they were all good. It's nice to have some options for the taco sauce (they have 4 choices). The verde is my favorite. It always comes with plenty of chopped white onion, pickled onion, cilantro and limes. $3 margarita is a bonus. read more

Meat was dry with no flavor and tortillas fell apart. Ordered 10 tacos and only received a few tiny containers with salsa. Asked for green and they gave me red and white. Don't waste your time, not worth the cost. read more

Delicious tacos. One of my favorite places in the area. Got the 10 taco variety option and they're all delicious. Definitely my coming back.

Found this place on complete accident. "Side Door Taco" isn't just some hip name. There's literally a door on the side of a different restaurant where a person comes and brings you the tacos you've ordered. Ok let's talk about these tacos. Chicken Tinga is full of flavor!! Carne Asada tacos were my personal favorite. Onions and cilantro are on the side so you can pile on take it light, your call. The pork tacos were super greasy. Stay away from the queso, it's not tasty, not even really cheesy. It's super watery and the flavor is BLAND. They're not called "Side Door Queso" so don't let that stop you. Two of the three tacos were absolutely delicious, oh yeh and they give you little side salsas too. You can order more if you like it saucey. Also they have boozey drinks to go!! There's no seating because this is strictly a to-go restaurant. read more
