I tried Tacodeli the first time in Austin and when I was back in the great state of Texas I was hoping to find one in Dallas...and I did! We ended up calling in an order for a group of us and picking it up since our schedule (and the limited hours of this place) didn't work well for us. LOVE the Otto breakfast taco is my fave.. it doesn't have egg, which is fine by me! I am hooked and will seek out Tacodeli on my travels. Bring one to CA! read more

Fun atmosphere. Friendly service. Adequate food--not spectacular, but good enough. The kids quesadillas disappeared really quickly, and they were around $3. The sopa de pollo was pretty greasy and no white meat, and had a hefty scoop of Pico de Gallo which was an odd addition: lots of crunchy jalapeño & onion in a hot soup. read more

Yes yes and yes!!! I will drive from Fort Worth to Dallas to eat here it is that good. The queso is awesome, the homemade salas are the bomb but and the food is delicious and awesome quality!!! I would give this place 10 stars! read more

Not impressed. From the surly woman who took my order , apparently annoyed that I asked for a pen? To the overpriced tacos - $4.25 and served with questionable avocado - really? I'll stick to the mom and pop taco stands read more

Tacodeli - Expensive taco with bruised/dark avocado- not cool - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We've been here a few times and it's never let us down. Food is always fresh and yummy and most of the ingredients they use are local and organic. I order the frontera fundido with sirloin and it's amazing, highly recommend that one! read more

Just had shitty service here. After having the power down at home, stayed at the Belmont for the night, came here and ordered 3 egg tacos to wait 20 minutes and leave empty handed. I ask for an update 2x and no one seemed to know how long it would be. They were SO preoccupied with their caterings they disregarded the paying customers. I asked for a refund because I was tired of waiting. No one said they were sorry. The manager told the kitchen not to make my food and the female cooks said they didn't even have my ticket... so yea Taco Deli, shitty service. Won't be back. read more

Great tacos! I had the Tacoloco (beef) and the Space Cowboy (vegetarian) both were good but if I had to choose from both, I liked the Space Cowboy better. They have some speciality drinks like cold brew, aguas frescas, and juices and then they have Maine Root fountain sodas. They have 3-4 different sauces to pick from ranging from mild to spicy. It was a little pricey.. 2 tacos, a fountain drink, and a side of pico came out to be like $12. But overall it was good service and great food. Parking was easy, there's some parking out front and more parking in the back. I'll definitely be back, I'll get the Space Cowboy again but I'll try a different beef taco next time. read more

I have loved Tacodeli for years but today as I bit into my chicken taco, the chicken tasted off. All the chicken pieces in my taco were raw on the inside. This isn't a mistake that should be made. Unfortunately I got my order to go so was unable to take it back for something different. I will not be returning to this location. read more

If you have a hard time getting in touch with me on a weekend morning...chances are I am most likely nursing a hangover or my sorrows at Tacodeli!!! Long story short I fell in L-O-V-E with Tacodeli in Austin (at the recommendation of dear friends), and was one day driving through Trinity Groves when I stumbled across the new Dallas location. Out of pure joy, excitement, and couldn't believe my eyes/pinch me this isn't real feeling... I about jumped out of my moving car to run and grab a taco to go (this is how much I love this place!). Seriously though if you love tacos as much as I do be sure to come here and order the Otto with scrambled eggs and any of their specials of the day or month (this place basically makes you think Torchy's who?!). Also, the guacamole is some of the best I have ever had. Basically, all ingredients are fresh, organic and just plain amazing! You cannot go wrong here. 2016 New Years Resolution: eat more Tacodeli! read more

There are a lot of new places popping up in West Dallas, you can't help but notice all of the construction of apartments, restaurants, yoga spots, etc. Tacodeli is nestled among these new businesses on Sylvan, and from the looks of the traffic, it's off to a strong start. I ordered tacos to go, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they have a couple of vegan options on the menu. I went with the Florentino and the Freakin' Vegan. I also ordered some chips and guac on the side. First of all, I was so impressed with the freakin' vegan! The black beans on that taco were soooo good! The beans coupled with the fresh avocado and pico make this taco a winner! Be sure to get plenty of samples from the salsa bar while you're waiting on your order, they have a pretty good variety! The Florentino was decent...not bad, but nothing too exciting. The thing that I wasn't too impressed with was the guacamole. There was a lot of lime in it and a lot of cilantro. I don't mind the cilantro, and I enjoyed the spicy kick that the guac has as well, but the lime was too overwhelming for my taste buds. I'm a avocado fanatic, but I wan't a fan of this. Tacodeli is a nice addition to the nearby taco scene. For me, it's convenient, for everyone else, I suggest you stop by if you're in the area. Keep in mind, the lines get pretty long during the lunch rush, so expect to wait if that's the time you're going. read more

This over hyped taco joint isn't bad. But it isn't OMGood as the other reviewers have commented. In my humble opinion, I would rather have tacos al pastor from Tacos al si Hay or mole from El Corazon. Tacodeli's take on both Mexican classics are imperfect salty versions. The line is really long, you can overhear people raving about its Austin location. I think these are the same people who think Austin is the best city on the planet. Tacodeli is to taco stands what Austin is to Texas-- a gentrified Hollywood version of authenticity. It's "green" and "local" yet every food item uses at least three pieces of consumer waste. The Austin of old produced some fantastic chain eateries-- Chuy's for example-- but the new Austin, the less weird Austin, is giving us nothing to write home about. Did anything stand out as OMGood? Yes, the agua fresca is delicious. This place belongs in DC or NYC, not deep in the heart of a traditionally Hispanic area of Dallas. read more

The only thing wrong with my first visit to Dallas TD was my own ordering fail. I failed to properly scope out the taco size before ordering six between me and my beautiful SO. Yes she is tiny, dainty and has small hands and feet and I am tall and probably have two stomachs, but damnit if she didn't eat half of those six tacos. Just after they brought our tacos out and I realized the gravity of my mistake, I began nervously watching the line and estimating the approximate time it would take me to share these six tacos with her and then get back in line to order what I needed to fill up. Of course right when I ate that last bite, the line mushroomed to the point where I sadly resigned myself to leaving hungry. So the verdict on the six tacos? Very solid. Tacodeli uses flavorful ingredients in thoughtful combinations that work well together. The Otto with its refried black beans, thick bacon, avocado slices and cheese was a favorite from my Austin visit, and this version was just as good. I'm a sucker for picadillo tacos - a delicious ground beef mixture garnished with chopped cilantro and white onion. Our two pork taco selections: the conquistador (slightly salty but flavorful) and the Delibelly Saturday taco were probably my favorites. The crispy pork belly was minimalistically paired with just chopped cilantro and onion, and slivers of avocado. It was lightly filled but quite delicious. Our final selections were the space cowboy vegetarian taco which she liked but I tactically passed on sharing to try to monopolize all of the picadillo taco, and a steak, egg and cheese taco that paled in comparison to some of the "signature" items. One thing that struck me as funny was the pre-bagged chips. They buy them from a vendor, and the bags apparently keep them fresh longer. It was just a funny looking thing to see everyone carrying these plastic baggies of chips. I would have assumed that they would be made in house. Letting them focus on the tacos, while importing their chips and tortillas seems to be working though. Salsas were unanimously delicious, and the habanero packed a nice hot kick. I am pre-disposed to dislike fusion-type restaurants. The "americanized" taco thing usually doesn't work well but these small-ish tacos are really good, some with authentically mexican flavors. Sylvan 30 is a happening place. Rest assured that when I go back I'm eating all those six tacos without sharing. read more

Tacodeli vs. Torchy's Tacos. It's a battle of the two Austin-based Taco chains. After hearing about a Tacodeli very close to where I live, I just had to try it out. Tacodeli has an expansive menu of tacos available to try. I heard some may be good, and other aren't. This visit I tried out the Space Cowboy and the Frontera Fundido tacos. Both were very solid. The Space Cowboy definitely has a very healthy feel since it is a vegetarian taco. The roasted portobellos made that taco for me. Conversely, the Frontera Funded was also well-balanced in its flavor offerings. However, I just must be a fan of Torchy's more than Tacodeli, however, for the menu offerings Tacodeli has, it caters to more of a wider audience than Torchy's. But, I still like Torchy's better. read more

I like these tacos and I especially like them away, from the counter at the grocery or farmer's market. They travel well. I like their tomatillo and that it is also sold at Whole Foods. If you have read any of my other reviews, you know I feel practically nothing is worth an hour's wait. I go in off hours. read more

Tried this place out on a Sunday afternoon. The inside seating was crowded but our party of 5 found a table to squeeze into. The line to order moved fairly quickly. We got chips and queso to eat while waiting. the queso was extremely runny and not very flavorful. The chips weren't anything special either. I ordered 3 different tacos- Mexico City Sirloin, Pollo Fantistico, and Shrimptastic. The Mexico City Sirloin was the only one I really enjoyed. The chicken was overly salty and I coukd barely eat it. The sauce on the shrimp taco wasn't good and tasted..... dirty. My family all had different tacos and none of them really were standouts. My dad has subpar migas. All in all it was a let down. read more

Yayyyyy!!!! First visit of many. The BF and I are huge fans of this place in Austin and we are glad they've expanded over to Big D. The service today was stellar as was the portobello taco, the salmon taco (perfectly seasoned) and the scallop taco. It's fun coming to a place that has lots of veggie/pescatarian and gf options. The food is consistent (okay so we've already been there about 5 times since they opened) and fresh, the salsas and sauces are worth the burn- Dona- and the agua Frescas are the perfect counterpoint to the spicy. If you haven't gone yet- get in your car first thing in the morning and get some delicious breakfast tacos!! Oh yeah- they close early so don't be a slacker :) read more

All I can say is, WOW!!! I live in Florida now, so I can;t get breakfast tacos, anywhere. :( I flew in to Dallas for the weekend and came across this gem. I had the Jess and the Juevos Blancos add steak, with a side of guac. Everything was delicious! read more

Taco deli was always my favorite taco in Austin and I love having one in Dallas. The space in Dallas is nice and there's plenty of parking which isn't always the case in Austin. And the tacos are good as ever!!!! Like seriously these are the best tacos around. read more

Hell yes. Visited on NYE, and then again on New Years Day. I'm not sure if there are lines at certain times but on both visits was able to just walk in and order, which was a welcome change from my visits to Austin locations. Service was super nice both times too. I am in love with the Chiles en Nogada holiday special they had and will be really sad when it's gone (hope I can get it at least once more). But the frontera beef taco and al pastor pork tacos are great as well, and can't get enough of that Dona sauce!! Really nice, open atmosphere in the Sylvan Thirty development and I'm looking forward to eating on the patio (it's pet friendly) when warmer weather returns. Can't wait to return..hopefully it's on a day where they have the delibelly special because I remember that one being amazing in Austin. read more

Awesome tacos, great service. Try the doña salsa (the creamy green one), it's super spicy and super tasty. read more

I've tried so hard to love this place many times but I'm done! The slowest service everrr! No reason why a cup of soup should take 18 min. Yes, I was keeping time. Everything is overpriced too. Done. read more

Not my flavor of TexMex. Bland and doesn't taste very fresh. Plenty of people like it but it's not my thing.

Just when I thought Tacodeli could not possibly get any better, it goes and does something like this. By 'this' I mean bringing in some of the best homemade flour tortillas Dallas has to offer. I feel bad for the gluten free folks because these flour tortillas are what dreams are made of. All of the usual suspects are here, including the salsa that cures any hangover; salsa dona. If you don't like Tacodeli, you can't be trusted. That's all there is to it. read more

The food was OK. Definitely not bad, the ingredients were fresh and the place was clean. The restaurant will do well because it will be frequented by people who want Dallas to be more like Austin. But in a city where legit, hole in the wall taquerias are everywhere, does Dallas really need another white people taco place? We already have Velvet Taco, Urban Taco, Rusty Taco,Taco Joint, Torchy's....I'll always be more inclined to pull out some cash and go to La Banqueta, Pinocho, El Si Hay, La Paloma, the corner store gas station, etc. read more

First timers here! And we've been wanting to try this place since we heard they were building one in Dallas. The place closes at 3.. Which I hate, but it is what it is. Everything is local grown - Plus! And I LOVED they offered whole wheat corn tortillas. (Which are all 6 inches ;) I ordered 3 tacos - which was about enough for me. The Mexico City Sirloin, El Conquistador and Al Pastor. (And they do NOT SKIMP on the meats!) The steak in the Mexico City was cook to perfection. Juciy, nice and tender.. delicious. The El Conquistador (my favorite) was amazing! The pork was so flavorful.. and was a bit crisp. Not crisp in a bad way though. And that chile pasilla sauce.. Mm Mm!! Sadly, the Al Pastor fell a bit short. The meat, surprisingly, was dry! I couldn't even finish it. However, the red chili adobo (sauce) was good. The queso was a bit watery, but after it cooled down, it was at its perfect consistency. 2 bags of chips for a medium order! The side salsa are bomb, and they have one "made in house" green salsa which is spicy but was definitely my fave! I will definitely be back! read more

Tacodeli - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The breakfast tacos are excellent here. I always order the Vegan and Migas on corn tortillas. For lunch, their Barbacoa tacos are a must order! It's offered only on Sundays though. For sauce, I use the Dona. Dona is a spicy sauce mixed with Garlic. Their Mexican rice and chips with guacamole are great side options too. read more

Call me old fashioned. The overhead menu inside gives excellent descriptions of the food - but no prices. To me that's deceiving - like tempting you then surprising with the total once you've ordered. One of the breakfast tacos ordered was chorizo con huevo. Unfortunately the chorizo was added on top of the eggs as an afterthought. Maybe being from San Antonio spoils you - there we ALWAYS mix the egg and chorizo when cooking. Be forewarned - the chorizo is spicy HOT! Overall, don't understand the review hype. Seems like a taco place trying to be hip and trendy - and you pay the price. They do recycle tho, so for that they get an extra star. read more

Thanks to Yelp, I found this gem! Service was fast, sweet and helpful. Food was great, the sauces were great and I kept wondering why people took huge bags of their chips home and I must say their chips are the best you could ask for. They're not too drying or too salty either. I love how many options they have for tacos! I'm definitely coming back for sure! read more

I really don't get the hype about this place. Some of the saltiest tacos I've ever had. Terribly implemented Americanized tacos. Giving the place two stars for the effort and creativity. Hopefully it was just an off day. read more

$4.00 1 chicken taco is a bit much but I will say they were delicious. I order pollo Fantastico & pollo en mole & drink total was $11.26. The service is good. It's walk up order, sit & wait. Parking can be hard to find in this area, even at 11:30am. I can imagine how bad it can be in evenings. Overall it's good but I'd try another taco place before returning. read more

Tacos! There are an abundance of trendy Taco spots, but Tacodeli has me caught up in the rapture of Love. There are tacos are generously stuffed and their hot sauce is superb (Go for Green). Their kitschy decor speaks volumes to me and I have a slight obsession with their tables. I tasted them for the first time at Taco Libre and to be honest fell head over heels with their Freakin' Vegan Taco, it's just beans and avocado but OMG! The Staff must not be ignored either - Fun, Energetic and extremely helpful with suggestions. Surprisingly good Ceviche too. I think I'm going to head over there right now! read more

Tacodeli - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Okay, so if you are into Michael Bloomberg, you are into Tacodeli. He doesn't like big sodas or food and I guess neither do they, but this is Texas. (I think.) A sixteen ounce soda anywhere, but New York City (or maybe Austin) is not large, but when the bill comes back and a "large" drink, three tacos, and some guac set you back $20 maybe you are eating in the wrong place. The food is okay, but it just isn't great and average food at high prices doesn't earn my respect or more repeat business. It also seems to take an awful long time to get lunch, even during off hours, like 1:00 PM. There always is enough staff, but what are they doing because it doesn't seem like they are very quick on orders. Lots of people love them, so maybe you will too, but maybe they just aren't for me. Good luck in your foodie adventures... read more

Some of the best tacos in Dallas. I've tried almost everything on their menu and haven't found something I didn't like!

First off, all of the staff are extremely friendly and seem to enjoy working here. That says a lot already. This is a casual, more organic type restaurant with both indoor and outdoor patio seating. They cater as well as allow you to call in orders. The atmosphere is great and the place is very clean. I've never been to Dallas before, but I was recommended Tacodeli by a local mechanic. I figured it was worth a try as he spoke so highly of it. Having never been to Dallas before, I had of course never been to Tacodeli either. I asked the cashier for recommendations and she didn't even have to tell me what they were that I would get them. I identified one of the tacos as the "Cowboy." Both were absolutely amazing! I also ordered a side of quac and chips as everything already appeared fresh. It was just as great! Then there is a drink cooler to the right of the register. As people in front of me would pull out drinks from there over the soda fountains, I decided that I should as well. The tea that I chose was the "Amazing Blues Holy Kombucha." I have absolutely no idea what that means, but it is a nice cross between carbonation and flavored tea. I already want to come back and I haven't even left yet! Highly recommend stopping in. read more

Delicious Salsa and Guacamole. Was not expecting yummy deliciousness in smooth guacamole. Love their chips too. The tacos are flavorful and fresh and the pairings are excellent. Need to come back to taste the rest of the menu. read more

I probably won't come back. They said the tacos are six inches and three should fill you up. Yes the tortillas are six inches but the chicken inside is kinda light. I got 3 Pollo fantasticos and paid $13. Still hungry. They're good I'll give em that. read more

Sirloin egg and cheese was a great filler! O complement the more exotic tacos on the menu. 5 star read more

Tacodeli - Amazing sirloin egg and cheese!!! - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I am a fan because i usually come to crooked tree and they have the breakfast tacos from taco deli. However, when i had come the queso was really really watery and so were the potato mash- wasn't a fan but the veggie tacos were pretty legit so i think those made up for the sides. Highly recommend the breakfast tacos they are delicious :P read more

This place was not the best for me but my husband and friend love the tacos here! Great prices as well.
