Tacebuds at 6801 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75235 "Tacebuds" Definitely lived up to the Hype First, Impression, this is a rundown building off of Harry Hines. That seemed better days. The front cashier staff she's kind of rude, extremely good looking but she definitely focused on all of the orders that are coming in. She's a soft spoken lady and the music in the front is really loud. She has to take payment and hand out all the mouthwatering delicious food. It very hot inside this place with limited seating, you could go on and on and on, with all of the negativity critiques, if you would like. The moment, you eat this decadent food. You stop thinking about all that nonsense and understand that this place is the truth. It is built for you to get the food and better yet. Trust Doordash , get a subscription and order this every day of the week. If you want too. Today I got the ox tail cheese steak with the ox tail taco rolls, aka giant fried ox tail egg rolls. It was a Sunday afternoon and this place was constantly busy. It's not meant for you to sit inside and enjoy a delicacy food experience.. In some fancy area, it's meant for you to indulge in decorates, flavor and an immense taste sensation that will overwhelm your senses in the comfort of your own home with friends and families or just sitting in vehicle A/C.

It's not a sit down and eat spot! It's a get it and picnic in the car or rush back to the house spot but the food is good! This was our second time, we got the salmon cheesesteak, fried wings with fries, jerk chicken pasta, and the Tace Philly cheesesteak eggrolls. The eggrolls alone are worth the trip! read more

I've been here three times already so something keeps bringing me back! The chicken wings are fried crispy and Midly seasoned! If you love heavy seasoned this wouldn't be for you! The fish is also really good! Be prepared for a sight wait but they are always accurate or early with timing! I prefer being early versus late! I got the jerk chicken this time, I almost have it a 3, it just tasted like jerk chicken on a pizza, because v the crust cheese sauce lacked any flavor it wasn't for me! I got the personal pizza! I'm going to try the oxtail next time. Ambiance is almost like ordering at a gas station so don't expect much there read more

Tacebuds is a place I've been wanting to try forever. But I'm so disappointed in this particular item. We ordered the super potatoe..while the quantity was sufficient and the one we ate was perfect. When I went to eat the other portion not only was the spiral potato completely raw and inedible the whole thing was black inside. The way I am completely disgusted bc I was so ready to eat the rest of my food. The jerk pasta however 8.5 out of 10. I may give them another chance but UHHHHH TACEBUDS. Whyyyyyyyyy :( read more

The service was really good and the food tasted great I got the Fry-Day only special which is 3 catfish filets and fries for $10. The fish was mildly seasoned but fried nice and crunchy but fish still moist and flaky and not hard inside. read more

My family and I stopped here for lunch while on our roadtrip back to California and I must say the service was unpleasant. The young lady at the front didnt greet us or even ask if we were ready to order. She simply stood at the register and looked at us until I asked her if she was ready to take our order. Im not sure if this is a Dallas thing but where im from we are greeted & with a smile. Outside of us waiting 30-40 minutes im more unsatisfied with her attitude. Simply dont come to work if you dont want to be there. Food was 10/10 but im leaving low stars because of my experience. We also received our tacos and shrimp plates with no sauce in the bag & went back in they gave one sauce for 6 tacos & 22 pcs of shrimp ! read more

July 10 25 We spent $53.06 (including a $7.99 tip) for two meals and two drinks..... Not good. We ended up giving all that food to someone in need and going to another place to eat. Philly cheesesteak looked like roast beef with cheese sauce on top. It did not look like what I saw advertised on their social media. I looked first to make my decision on what to eat. I needed to cut it in half because it was messy. But I didn't have utensils. I had to share with my friend. My initial reaction to eating the food is all recorded because I Vlog..... and this was the worry Philly I've ever had. Fries were not good. There was no ketchup in the bag either, which would've made them a little better. Lemonades were like $3.50+ each and bland. Like lightly sweetened lemonade and a Kool-aide packet. Not as sweet as I would've liked them to be. Blueberry 2/5 and strawberry 0.5/5 Loaded jerk chicken rice bowl- tasted just like rice and chicken with bbq sauce on it. Two bites, and we decided to just find something else to eat. Instead of throwing it in the trash, we did give both these meals away to someone who was grateful to receive. Glad to have fed them!!! This is my Second and unfortunately my last time l'll be here. Saddened because I wanted to try the Tace Rolls. But I just cannot risk the money. $20 down the drain for me and an additional $10+ for food elsewhere. read more

I wanted to like this place, but consistency and honesty matter to me. This time I ordered wings through DoorDash and they were clearly fried in old grease. The taste was heavy, stale, and off enough that I couldn't finish them. What made it worse is this isn't my first issue here. Months ago, I ordered during a catfish special and was served fried tilapia instead. That's not a small mix up. That's a completely different fish. I'm from South Arkansas/North Louisiana. I know the difference, and I don't play about food substitutions or quality. If you're out of something, just say that. Don't swap it and hope people won't notice. At this point, I can't recommend this place based on my experiences. Transparency and freshness go a long way, and both were missed here. read more

When I say someone should have told me about this place A LONG TIME AGO!!!! Y'all have been gatekeeping a gem!!!! Gate keep no more is what I say, because when I tell you I have be telling everyone and their families about Tace buds!!!! It's actually a funny story how we found this hidden gem! My boyfriend was driving in the area on his way home and he passed by it ever so quickly! He called me asap and all he had to say was that it was local and they have fried catfish! lol! The rest was history! We didn't eat in, but I was told they do have plenty of seating and table to sit at! However, just because we got takeout, doesn;t mean the food didn't hit the same! We were told they became popular for their jerk chicken pasta, so we got it! Along with their 10$ fried catfish special! lastly, we got a cherry flavored lemonade! And oh my gawd, everything was spectacular! For one, the jerk chicken was so tender and flavorful in the pasta, and that combined with their sauce was SO GOOD!!! As for the fried catfish, it was crispy, favorful, and HUGE! I was shocked how many pieces they gave for the discounted special! Definitely worth the 10$! And the cherry on top is that they use REAL catfish, not swai! The cherry lemonade was sweet, and the perfect drink to wash it all down! Safe to say we will def be returning! read more

Imma keep it blunt! the food was seasoned well and tasted amazing! can't give them 5 stars because the wait for the food was about an hour and when we got back to the car there a small roach in the plastic bag (praying this is a one off) but food price for the plate size was worth it. read more

Okayyyy Tace budsss! I ordered my food online, because I heard that it's usually packed. When I arrived two women were infront of me but the place was pretty much empty. So my food was good honestly.. I hated that they put my ranch on top of the fries because when ranch is warm phew we already know what happens.. So I thought my tacos were going to be small because that's just what I'm use to, but it wasn't! Y'all they were bigger than my hands and my hands are small! When I added onions to my taco I thought it would be the grilled string onions not the diced ones.. I do feel like the chicken could have had taste to it, and wasn't dry but it wasn't bad! The fries were crunchy as well and good! When I ordered the pizza I ordered the personal pizza which was good as well, just a tad bit salty.. I'd definitely be going back to try more! read more

Taste Buds nailed it with their jerk chicken pizza. Spicy, flavorful, tender chicken on a perfectly crisp crust -- every bite hits. It's bold, different, and seriously delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Passed this place a few times leaving the airport and decided to finally try them out. Customer service was 'eh', I asked the cashier what flavor lemonades they had and she simply pointed at a sign. Food was made to order but actually came out pretty fast, definitely didn't take the 20 minutes that they advertise. I got the catfish plate with fries, mild sauce and hot sauce and a blue raspberry lemonade. The catfish tasted VERY fishy and didn't have a lot of flavor. The fries were seasoned well with the lemon pepper but they were soggy. The lemonade was a little sweet but overall enjoyable. Being from Chicago, the mild sauce definitely didn't hit- too much barbecue flavor. Overall, they were okay. Did hear some good things about their pizzas and jerk chicken so might go back and give those a try. read more

The service here was amazing. My husband ordered the rice bowl that had rice lettuce cheese steak shrimp and chicken with a sweet BBQ sauce. He loved it. I ordered the jerk chicken Alfredo. The chicken was bomb but I didn't care for the Alfredo sauce. It tasted kinda like a jar sauce. The portions were huge. They lasted us 2 meals and we spent $40 after tax. read more

I saw this on TikTok and gave it a try. I ordered delivery. Due to the distance, I wasn't surprised that it wasn't piping hot upon arrival, so no issue with that. The arrival time did extend, however, I was just glad delivery was available for my area. I got the jerk chicken taco and the oxtail pizza. Both tasted good. I do regret selecting grilled onions on the taco. FYI, use choose a taco, then you have all of these options as to what you want on it. I thought they would be more like a few soft, caramelized type grilled onions. My fault. I did pick those off. For you onion lovers, you get a lot. I also added more cheese of my own. The taco was huge. It came with a side of jerk sauce. There was more than enough jerk chicken for 2 regular size tacos. The oxtail pizza. Never would I have imagined I could have both oxtails and pizza as one dish. Definitely not your typical pizza. Lots of meat and lots of cheese. That alone sold me. If you're not a cheese lover like myself, you may have to request less. Don't expect a lot of pizza sauce like traditional pizzas either. Think meat pie plus cheese to get an idea. The crust was great. There are other menu items I plan to try, as well. read more

My husband and I have been ordering from Tace Buds I know for more than 2 years now. Our go to is the Jerk Chicken and Shrimp pasta! This pasta has a wonderfully rich and unique flavor, perfectly suited to their cuisine. I intend to try something different next time, but I haven't quite managed it yet. If you like jerk chicken and enjoy a blend of spices with a excellent cream sauce, then this is the pasta for you! We consistently receive a generous portion size, resulting in leftovers. I highly recommend checking out their menu and stopping by to try their pasta; you'll surely enjoy it! read more

Pasta was a no go. The sauce was watery and underwhelming needs more attention to detail other than that the catfish was excellent

Absolutely loved the food. Guy behind the counter was really cool! Favorite dish - Jerk Chicken Pasta and the Jerk Pizza Tacerolls. The restaurant is a little bland with so I do takeout or DD! Definitely work the time to go to! read more

I don't even know where to start. I found this restaurant on TikTok and was genuinely excited to try it. We arrived at the restaurant and it is extremely smaller than expected. It was hotter inside the building than outside, it was 7:45pm and maybe 95 outside. I get to the counter to order my food, two people walk to the counter. The male said absolutely nothing to me, he appeared to be the manager. The young lady greeted me and was very pleasant. She was the only positive thing about the experience honestly. We ordered 4 wings dinner, catfish dinner and jerk pasta dinner, total came to $51. The catfish was decent, nothing spectacular. The French fries were battered, not good at all. The chicken wings had no flavor. The jerk pasta sauce was runny and lacked the "jerk" taste. I waited an hour for this food and the customer service sucked. The ambiance was terrible, the food was mid and the service was 1/10. I wouldn't go back based on the attitude of the manager alone. Save yourself some trouble and avoid this place. TikTok definitely over hyped this trash ahh food! read more

Great food and amazing koolaid. you will wait for the food but it is worth it. I was very happy how to food turned out I will definitely be coming back read more

The food is sooo good. I ordered on door dash and it got here fast and was still hot. The catfish omg 5/5. I'm going to order catfish every single time. Wings were good. Tacos bussin! Everything 5/5! read more

TaceBuds wasn't tasting my trip there! We ordered the jerk pasta with chicken & a tace burger & neither tasted good. The pasta had no authenticity. It tasted like they brought the jerk sauce & Alfredo sauce from Kroger and mixed it together served it. The burger was dry and falling apart. Its a definite one and done for us! read more

In my opinion, this place is overpriced and the wait was horribly long. Someone came from the kitchen and apologized for the wait and give us free kool aid while we waited. That was nice. Decently decorated. My food was delicious but felt so greasy tbh. I had the oxtail Philly $25. It was good but had a strong aftertaste of meat, if that makes sense. Hubby had fried catfish and fries. Decent but not worth over an hour of waiting. There was a sign that said wait will be at least 25-30 since it's freshly made. I understand that, just wasn't thinking it would actually take over an hour. read more

I got the jerk tacos and they were so so good. I really enjoyed them as well as my catfish nuggets. They were fresh they were tasty. I have no complaints with them. The customer service here was very good. They were very patient. They made sure that I knew what I wanted, and they waited for me to decide as well. You can eat here it's a very small inside but the vibe is pretty good and they have nice music playing so you can either dine in or take out. I would do either when I went I sat in and enjoyed my food with my date. read more

Tace buds is a treasure. I love the various items on the medium that range from simple entrees like wings and fries to complex like jerk chicken and shrimp pizza. And everything tastes amazing. I enjoyed the chicken 6 whole chicken wings and fries with mild sauce on the side. The chicken wings were huge and fried to perfection. I like the seasoning on the chicken and it complements the mild sauce well. Thick crunchy fried and everything comes out piping hot. I place a pick up order, it took less than 15 mins and the service was quick and easy. There are few tables to sit inside too. Next time I want to tried the fried polish and the pizza. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The pictures on IG look soooo good, but pictures are misleading. To begin, when I arrived the entire restaurant was smoked out to the point it was hard to breathe in there. I wanted to inside to eat but couldn't do that due to all the smoke and burning smell. I placed my order then waited outside. I ordered the 2 pc fried catfish and one jerk chicken taco, it took 35 minutes to get my order. Maybe if i was able to sit inside the timing wouldn't have irritated me but it was hot outside and I smelled like the smokey restaurant so waiting 35 mins was the icing on the pissed off cake. I got home and dug into the catfish just to realize that IT IS NOT CATFISH. Why why whyyyy do some places claim to sell catfish when in fact it is not catfish?! Ugh. The fish was seasoned really well and fried perfectly, but I ordered catfish and refuse to eat this unknown fish. The jerk chicken taco had wayyyy too much going on, I took one bite and was done. So now I'm hot, smell like smoke, hungry, and out of $25. At least the coconut lemonade was worth the money and trip. read more

Service is very fast. Food has the flavor de spices. The employees here are very respectful. If they have made a mistake with any order they try their best to make it right. Great service. Great taste. It's very hard to find some good restaurants in the medical District I'm glad they have been added to the area. read more

The food came out hot. The flavor was good on the shrimp and wings. The fries have a dusting of Parmesan cheese and other flavors. It's a small restaurant with a few tables, looks like an old Waffle House. The prices charged do not reflect the digital board. The digital board had options shown that were no longer sold so we could not get what we wanted to try initially. The receipt shows a service charge and the employees could not tell me what this for. read more

The chicken Philly was not tasty at all. The burger felt loose in the wrapper. Horrible texture to the chicken was spitoutable. A waste of money. False advertisement. Sooo misleading and I drove 22 miles one way for this... never again read more

As I walked in the smell of the food was in the air and it smelled amazing. Unfortunately as I got there there were customers complaining about the wait time. Now I can speak for myself and my wait time wasn't long. The manager provided me with a free drink as well. The food was amazing I must say that was one of the best Alfredo sauces I've ever had as well as the jerk chicken was tender and seasoned perfectly. The aesthetics of the establishment put you in the feel of a old Waffle House. I rate my meal 4 out of 5 and will definitely be back. read more

Their jerk chicken taco was excellent and of good value. Really good flavor and a notable portion. The chicken wings were middle of the road overall, but I liked their crispiness. Fries had good flavor. The polish sausage needed help. It did not have the flavor I was expecting from a polish. Granted, polish sausage flavor varies widely depending on the supplier. It just didn't suit my particular tastes for a polish. $5 is not an unreasonable reasonable price for the polish. Ambiance is a 2 out of 10. Very sparse furnishings. 95 percent of the people there were picking up take out orders or ordered for take out. The guy and girl behind the counter were really nice and provided good customer service. I would definitely return for the taco and to try some of their offerings. read more

Mane ..... I went do to the pictures that was posted on social media food looked amazing, however I was highly disappointed. Overpriced and undercooked . Inside was not clean and the cooks looked like yeah I just woke up out of bed to fry you this chicken.... Never again read more

Service was great. The lady in the front was super helpful and nice. The food is where it turns. Ordered the chicken rice bowl and it tasted good but it was ice cold. The Alfredo with steak was more like a stroganoff, didn't like it at all. But the cheesesteak eggs rolls were pretty good. Drove 30 minutes to try it, won't be coming back. read more

No taste in the food, need lots of seasoning. The wings have feathers coming out of them, meaning haven't been clean. They use to put a lot of time in the food now it taste nasty!!!! read more

I ordered the Loaded rice with jerk chicken beef and shrimp and it was amazing. I also ordered the Friday fish special which was a 3 piece fish and fries. The loaded rice bowl was spicy and delicious especially the chicken. I shared with my wife who couldn't believe that it was chicken. I can only imagine what the potato would taste like but they were out. The fish simple not overly seasoned but good. I would definitely recommend this place and definitely will be going back when I am on that side of town. Prices were very reasonable. read more
