[LOCATION/PARKING] Taco Chon is located inside the new gas station off Western/Haltom Rd. Ample parking spots. When you walk in the gas station, Taco Chon will be in the back area of the gas station. [SERVICE] Taco Chon is a family-owned joint and the daughters are working the front while mom and dad are working on your food in the back! The entire family is very nice and welcoming and you'd have no trouble ordering your food here. All the food came out in a decent amount of time. I've never had a long wait for my food. They accept card and cash. [FOOD] I am definitely a big fan of the tacos and elotes here! They have different types of meats you can choose from. I have tried barbacoa, asada, pastor, carnitas, and chorizo on corn tortilla. My favorite are the pastor, carnitas, and asada tacos! Tacos are $1.75/each. The meat-tortilla-onions ratio is perfect and the tacos aren't soggy at all. They have 3 different types of sauces (green, red, and yellow sauce) and I'm a big fan of all of them. I forgot which peppers were in each one but would definitely recommend giving each of them a try to figure out your favorite! The small size for elotes is $3.50 and you really get alot for what you pay for. They have lots of seasonings (e.g. lemon pepper, chili powder, etc.) and sauces you can put on your elotes.

These tacos are really good. I don't what it is about gas station restaurants but they haven't disappointed yet! I ordered the pastor tacos and there's enough meat in one taco to make two! Really good and quick lunch!

Barbacoa and pastor tacos & chicharrón sopes.

Not impressed... tacos I got were barbacoa and pastor; subpar, had better. But the biggest let down was the sopes ! What Mexican taco spot uses actual sour cream instead of Mexican creama or cotija cheese which instead was replaced with regular shredded cheese. Not authentic. The daughter of the owner was nice and courteous. The only thing I enjoyed was the chicharrón and salsa. Actually the chicharrón was fire ! If I go back it would be to get a hefty serving of it ! All in all for ten bucks.

Food in a gas station! Street tacos you would expect from a local taco truck. The location has a few bar stools at the cooking counter but no sit down space. If you are in the area and want a few tacos it definitely is worth the visit. The hottest hot sauce is habanero based and can add some heat if that's your thing. The steak tacos come with cilantro and lime kind of standard for street tacos. Add some lime. Definitely will go back and try some other tacos. I don't believe they have a drive trough.

Loved this place! Tacos were very tasty and the staff was very friendly. I had the pollo, pastor, carnitas y chicharrón, the meats had great flavors and the 3 different salsas gave an extra kick! Tacos were around 1.75$. They also have burritos, tortas and other options. Stopped while getting my car looked at down the road. Super convenient ! Is located inside the Exxon gas station.

First time, 6 street tacos 2 grilled pork, 2 marinated pork, and 2 chicken tacos. And a side of rice.

Came here for the first time, they're located inside of a gasoline station called Ducky's Mart. We got 6 street tacos, 2 of each, marinated pork, grilled pork, & chicken. First let me start by saying the customer service is great and very helpful, they accept all forms of payment. The flavor to me of the tacos and rice was a little blend, especially with the grilled pork, equivalent to carnitas. Thet have lots of other choices of meats for tacos, burritos, tortas, and tostadas I will come back and try other items in all fairness.

I'm so glad this place is back. Takes me back to growing up in Mexico. Great food, excellent service, family own, local taco joint. Their tacos are legit. My boys all love them too. Can't wait for them to grow into having a full restaurant. Esmeralda is the best!

The tacos are so amazing! Me and my friends have ate here almost ever day this week. It's family ran and they are the sweetest ever. The service is super fast so it's the perfect place for a quick lunch break.

The staff is friendly and everything we have tried is excellent! Their tortas are the best in town, hands down. Portion are large and quality is great. You won't be disappointed.

Wifey is from LA (Los Angeles) and is always looking for good tacos de asada so when she told me that this joint was opening up, I was excited to see what was in store for us. First things first, if you're looking for a nice place to sit down and have the full on server/patron experience, this isn't the place since It's inside a gas station and seating is a sit-up bar. Don't let that dissuade you though...the food is definitely worth it and, more than anything, full of soul! I ordered their loaded nachos with al pastor, wifey ordered a taco de asada and a tacos de al pastor, our two kids had a taco de asada and pollo. As soon as I saw the owner pull out a handful of tortillas, cut them in quarters and fry them for my nachos, I knew this was going to be good! The serving sizes for both the tacos and nachos were very impressive and were only topped by the flavors of the proteins. The al pastor was seasoned very well and the carne asada was probably some of the best we had in DFW (super tender and juicy)! Perhaps the biggest surprise was that my 7 y/o son (who's SUPER picky) ate not one but two tacos! I looked up from my plate and saw him attack the taco de asada with reckless abandon! The ONLY reason I gave this place a 4 star (and BTW...WTH can't we give 4.5 stars!!??) was because the nachos had unmelted shredded mozz instead of a cheese sauce. Whether it be a standard variation or something more homey, the nachos would be perfect with it! Either way though...rest assured, we'll be back and very often!! read more

Great spot! We always enjoyed them when they were a food truck, and now with counter seating available, it's much better to dine in the new location. It's in a gas station, but do have some seating. Clean and bright environment! The food is excellent. I had tacos and my husband had a torta. The meat is perfectly cooked and spiced. Sides are good too, and I'm thrilled they now offer elote! The staff is so wonderful. It's a family operation with the parents cooking and daughters doing the customer facing things. I think the best taco shop in the area! read more

My order (Combination steak tacos, steak tostadas, and elote) was ready when I got there and they made sure I got all the kinds of hot sauce I wanted.

I tried this place for lunch yesterday. I got the combination plate with three tacos, rice and beans. I had two Al Pastor tacos and one Carne Asada. The Pastor meat was delicious...flavorful and not overly spicy. The Asada had a great smoky taste and the beans and rice were exceptionally good. While I was waiting for my food I saw a large pan of chips and when I asked the gentleman who was waiting on me what they were for, he said they were for the nachos. The chips were clearly homemade and i'm going to have to try the nachos next time. The only downside is that they're closed on Tuesdays so I can't go back today.

It's easily our favorite place for anything birria. From the birria pizza to the tacos, everything is incredible. The dipping consomé is seriously to die for, and the meat is cooked to absolute perfection. The service is great, and the Chicano art painted throughout the restaurant gives the whole place such a cool, authentic vibe. We always share the combo because you get a little bit of everything, and trust me, it will definitely fill you up. Seriously, get it. This is our number one taco spot in DFW, and after your first visit, it might be yours too.

Let's start with my husband's jalapeño burger... y'all... he took ONE bite and immediately hit me with "this tastes like a high-quality homemade burger." And he wasn't lying. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked--like backyard grill mastery but elevated. Now let's talk about the kiddo's chicken tenders--because WHAT?! These weren't your average frozen, tossed-in-the-fryer situation. These were hands down some of the BEST chicken tenders I've had in a long time. Fresh, crispy, perfectly breaded, cooked to absolute perfection--and don't even get me started on the fries... golden, crispy, and downright addictive. And then... MY plate. The street taco plate with carne asada. Listen... this didn't just meet expectations--it BLEW THEM OUT OF THE WATER. The meat was fresh, insanely well seasoned (not overdone, not dry--just PERFECT). The flavors were bold without being overwhelming. And the sauces?! Unreal. The serrano sauce had the perfect kick without burning your soul off, and that avocado salsa? Smooth, flavorful, and chef's kiss. As someone who lives in Texas, I can confidently say--this is NOT your typical Tex-Mex spot. And thank goodness for that. So many places either overcook everything or completely miss the seasoning... but not here. This is authentic flavor, done RIGHT. This has officially become my go-to taco spot. No question. No competition. We WILL be back--and not just once... this is going into regular rotation. If you're even THINKING about trying this place--STOP thinking and GO. You can thank me later.

While we wanted to like it here we were very disappointed with the sushi itself. The rolls were mainly rice and the toppings, if fish, were verrrry small. You're able to order 4 rolls a round but we opted for 3 and then 2 with some of the appetizer options like gyoza, cucumber salad, and a miso soup. For the price, yes you get affordable sushi, but the quality isn't really there. The rice to fish ratio was not good and the Wasabi tasted very light, almost diluted as well. Overall I'm confused with the previous 5 star reviews. Service is a solid 3, freshness is also a 3, but for quality overall I'd have to say a 2.
