From the moment we walked in, our waitress seemed visibly bothered by us. We were simply having a conversation when she approached, yet her attitude was cold and irritated from the start. We asked about the sopas and requested no onions. She rudely snapped that they don't come with onions. I opened the menu where onions were clearly listed and politely asked if she was sure. She rolled her eyes and raised her voice, repeating that they don't come with onions. Trying to move on, I asked for a cup of ice. Instead of basic courtesy she rudely asked, "Is there anything else you're going to ask for before I walk away?" At that point, it was clear she was unhappy to be doing her job. After realizing we weren't pleased, she completely avoided our table and never checked on us again. Poor attitude, unprofessional behavior, and terrible customer service ruined what should have been a simple dining experience. read more

My boyfriend and I came here before the rangers game to grab a quick bite. This isn't the place where you go and expect drive through times. I definitely waited for about 15 minutes before actually getting my food. I had the green salsa with my quesadilla which was super spicy! I loved it! I also ordered a Horchata and it was so delicious. Not too watered down and not overly sweet. I wasn't able to try the tortas since we gave them to another friend, but whenever I'm in Arlington I will give them another chance so I can try the tacos! They also have a desert menu that I need to try but maybe when I have more time on my hands! read more

Just your average taco spot. The first two times I've been here had been great with great service! The last few times was anything but. I was hoping it was just an off day the few times, so ofc I would still come back to try again, and to my disappointment it's just not the same. The tortillas really throw me off since they're no longer soft and warm, they come out more stale and chewy. If you're looking for decent authentic Mexican food to catch up with a friend or late night munch, then give them a try! But if you want the best arlington has to offer, it's not here. read more

Very good tacos would recommend 10/10. Food came out quick and the horchata is really good. Tacos perrones

This place no matter what time it's is will always be busy and packed full of people enjoying the food here especially for the tacos. Every so often I go for their restaurant style tortas which are absolutely delicious along with tacos al pastor. In the mood for tacos check this place out. read more

3.5/5 Hit or miss, when it's good it's good and bad when it's bad. I've given up on the tortas, but the gorditas and tacos are good. The aguas frescas are good and the salsas are spicy! They've gone up in price over the years but still reasonable in comparison to what's in the area. read more

Came all the way from California..Food was authentic. None of that tex-mex. Staff was very sweet. Great service. I wish I could go back.

I travel far and wide always looking for great local tacos, this place ranks right up there with the best. The food is great, the service is awesome and they are quick. Give them a try please. Ask for Elioenai Y Violeta read more

It's been awhile since I had tacos la banqueta and I was missing it too. I was tempted to order a lot but then I stopped myself and now I'm regretting it. I love the flavor of their pastor. Its my top choice when I come here. This time I got the tripa crispy and lengua. I love their green sauce but my friend likes the red one so to each their own. I wish I got the fried quesadilla with pastor because it was so good. It was a pretty good price range for our party of two, less than $30. Service is great! The food came out fairly quickly when we ordered. The ambiance is very casual. My friend described it as "hole in the wall" so don't expect fancy. A lot of people like to come here on their lunch break here. It's so good and the people are friendly. I'd come back! I'm pretty sure I've been addicted to their tacos and sauce for years. read more

Tacos La Banqueta - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Look out folks, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has a very, VERY legit Mexican establishment. Typically you can't find this kind of quality in Houston (where I'm from) unless it comes from a food truck. Don't ask me why that is--ironically, life always tells a funny story. But let's dive into what makes this place so awesome (and the little things I can knit pick at). The tacos are FILLED. I mean, the shells are small--don't get me wrong, but they get filled (with plenty of cilantro and onions, too). Now typically I don't mess with tripe, but these guys make it amazing. If I could go back, I would just order 4 tripe tacos rather than play the field. Suardero is a very tender (cut of beef or pork that's in-between the belly and the leg) protein. It's worth trying and is what my friend claims is his favorite meat. Another important element is the sauces/salsa. Very tasty salsa Verde and Roja. Great kick to them, too. Quesadillas can also be fried like a super large empanada; it's not bad, but I'd definitely just invest in more tacos. Gorditas are also traditionally made. The bread is cut and stuffed with cabbage, queso Blanco, and your choice of meat. Suardero seems to be the popular option. Again, I'm a taco kind of guy... but honestly, I think all the food is quite good. Fruit Flavored Aguas frescas don't seem to be made with real fruit. Horchata and Hicama seem fine. The Pineapple one is delicious, but clearly made with artificial elements, and to be honest, that fact won't stop me or my friends from ordering it. Definitely not a big fan of waiting in a huge line to pay for our meal. The line seems to comprise of to-go orders amongst other tables... it seems extremely inefficient and creates traffic that can be otherwise avoided if servers just rang up the ticket and handed you the bill. Ambience wise, it compares to your run of the mill, typical taquerias. Brown tiles... orange interior paint... that kind if vibe. Not a big fan of all these Styrofoam plates either (especially for brick and morter), but it does seem like it makes their jobs easier. Overall, an easy 4-stars. I appreciate my good friends Thao and Jordan for showing me another gem inside the Dallas area. read more

Great local taco spot, it was definitely a full dining room but still managed to get my to go order out in 15-20 minutes. Authentic with good prices would come back again for a non-local in the area. Beef Tongue (Lungua) was so tender not overcooked at all and was a big fan of their Gordita as well as tacos. read more

Stopped in because this place always has a crowd. It is a seat yourself wherever you can place. Despite being super busy at lunch time, the service was spot on. Great service! I ordered the lengua tacos and they arrived quick and hot. They were good, but not great. I'm searching for great awesome street tacos like you find at those pop up tent stands on side of road. They had a good flavor but seemed over cooked to me. Just your typical, everyplace taco. The horchata (-1 star) was watery and thin. I'm sure it was not made in house. When I went to pay, the counter had several kids buying candy slowing down the pay line. (-1 star). Due to the good service I will be back and try something else. read more

Goodness gracious the tortas are huge! I had the Torta Bombocha, it has steak, sausage,chorizo cheese and ham with tomatoes and avocado! THE BEST! The horchata was soooo good!! . When you come in, you pick a table and the waitress will take your order. Food arrive fast. If you don't speak Spanish, no worries at all, I was able to order in English. The only downside is the line to pay for your food before you leave. You have to go to the counter, but dont let that stop you from coming here! read more

Tacos La Banqueta - torta bombocha - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Truly some of the best tacos around. This is your typical neighborhood taqueria, super casual, affordable, and delicious. The staff is friendly and food comes out fast. There's a bright yellow, gigantic printed menu up on the wall behind the counter where you order. They've got tacos, breakfast tacos, tortas, gorditas, huaraches, sopes, quesadillas... The meat options are suadero (thinly sliced grilled beef), pastor (pork and pineapple), chorizo (pork sausage), carnitas (pork), bistec (beef steak), cabeza (cow head), pollo (chicken), tripa (tripe), and lengua (tongue). All the good stuff! Personally, I'm a pastor taco kind of person -- especially when there's pineapple involved. I get a couple pastor tacos on corn tortillas with beans on the side. Yum. Make sure you get some of their house made salsas, the red and green both make everything taste even better. read more

Love this little place for authentic DF tacos. The booths and chairs are not super comfortable. Service is not great, but I will deal with it for the tacos and tortas. It gets busy especially in weekends. Call in an order for pick up to save time. Get the pambazo torta. Its amazing. read more

I've heard the praises about this place and to be honest, the tacos were extraordinarily average. Now that it's a chain with multiple locations I feel that they are coasting off of their old reputation. I went to a Tacos la Banqueta like 5yrs ago and the tacos were great, but now not so much. The chicken taco was downright not good. read more

Amazing every time. They have the BEST TACOS IN TOWN. Favorite is the beef but the pork is amazing as well. If you haven't been. Go!

I'm not saying these tacos were bad, because they weren't bad, they just weren't the best tasting tacos I ever had. They were ok. I didn't really care for the salsas that came with the tacos. They give you a red and a salsa verde. They just didn't do it for me. Not that every taqueria has to sell guacamole, but this place doesn't, just an wanted to note that. The positive about these tacos, is that they are definitely affordable. We got six tacos for about 10 bucks and some change. read more

For some reason the other la Banqueta spot doesn't have the gordidas, which is the highlight of this restaurant. I've recommended to plenty of friends and all absolutely rave about them. To me their best meats are the chorizo and pastor. The pastor can sometimes be too dry but when it good, it's good. What I love about them is their sauce, it all nice and spicy which totally makes the meal perfect!! Their steak isn't as good as I'd like and chicken is chicken so nothing special but not bad either. Their quesadilla are not bad, nothing overly unique about them either just cheese and meat read more

Yay tacos! & Gorditas (my favorite)! Been craving it all week so I decided to come eat here on the weekend. The place is so busy that the parking lot is packed. We walked in and a server/waitress asked us for here or to-go? Surprised they had full waitress service here! Service: the employees are friendly, patient, and nice. Food: I ordered 2 chicken gordita and 1 pastor gordita with everything in it. They were tasty, I preferred the pastor over the chicken one. Two gorditas filled me up quick! Prices are decent. Interior: very homey and decorative. I like the tiled tables. Would definitely come back and try their other foods as well! read more

I've always driven pass this place and it's always PACKED. Finally was able to try it out the other night, was very pleased, and excited to have delicious tacos down the street from me! (I don't have to wait to go to downtown Dallas after bars to get them anymore yay!) We (party of 9) went on a Friday night so you had to sign in on a waitlist and only waited about 30-40mins (was def worth it). The servers were really nice, quick, and efficient in taking our drinks and food orders. As busy as it was, we only waited about another 20 mins for our food. Horchata: soooo gooood, so cheap for such a large cup! Beef quesadilla: meat, cheese, and lime. Basic but good. The tortilla was soft but had a nice crunch to it. Beef/lengua/pastor/carnitas tacos: all so yummmy, it came out hot&juicu. I wish I could've have eaten more but I was so full. Do try it with the white sauce, so good and so spicy, use a little!!! I basically poured it on my 2nd taco and scorched my taste buds. Will be back to try the other items!! read more

Stopped here to get some tacos on a Tuesday at around 10 pm after seeing it on my fyp on tik tok , there was a long line but it went pretty fast and a decent amount of people sitting down eating. I bought the fajita tacos , thin beef and pork tacos. They were pretty decent only thing Is they don't grill onions for your tacos you have to buy a side and put it in your tacos yourself sadly. Other then that it was a pretty decent experience. read more

I met my aunt here for a late breakfast. She eats here frequently but this was my first time checking it out. We both ordered the Sopes Sencillos (simple sopes). They were pretty tasty, especially with the red sauce they bring to the table. They also bring a green salsa that I didn't get to try. The other food being brought out looked so good. They sell some very big tortas, almost a shareable size, gorditas, breakfast tacos, and other authentic Mexican plates that you'd expect from a traditional Mexican restaurant. I'll definitely be back to try more of the food. The food was 5 stars but I gave them 4 stars because the coffee was served out of styrofoam cups, which I find to be pretty wasteful. read more

Best tacos in DFW! The food is amazing and the service is just as good! The prices here cannot be best for the quality of food.

Food was great ! Deshebrada meat was delicious ! It is a hidden gem for sure ! The drinks were alright I have had better .

Tacos La Banqueta locations in DFW are some of our favorite places to go for tacos in the area. This Pioneer location has some issues and isn't my favorite, although it still hits the spot every time I have a taco craving. They're usually pretty busy and get a lot of takeout orders, although they're usually quite quick and can prepare an order if you call it in within about 15-20 minutes. This is one of the more spacious locations, with a sizable dining area if you are staying to eat. We haven't eaten inside recently and get it to-go due to Covid, but they were usually quick and friendly with the service. You have to go up to the cash register at the front to pay, even if you dine in. A little inconvenient, but not a big deal. The main little issue that I have is with the tacos. We love to order the tacos and gorditas from Tacos La Banqueta. They taste really good and are some of the best tacos you can find in the DFW area. The salsa is VERY spicy but goes great with them. Just make sure you have plenty of water available! The tacos are extremely small, however, and I've noticed that they tend to be stingy with filling them up with meat and other toppings. The location in Dallas, which we've been to a few times as well, gives you much more and really fill up the tacos. Combined with the fact that prices continue to inch upwards and now cost about $2 per taco, it starts to feel a little bit like it's not worth the money. We've stopped going as often, as the number of tacos that you have to buy in order to fill you up, considering the minimal amount of meat they provide, and the rising prices, make it a higher expense than it used to be. They also don't give enough salsa in take-out orders for the amount of tacos that you get! I'll still come to Tacos La Banqueta when I'm craving some delicious tacos and Gorditas, but perhaps to one of the other locations and not as often. I still do consider it one of the best places for tacos in DFW, though. read more

Tacos la Banqueta is your typical hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. They have Mexican plates, burritos, tacos, sopas, and gorditas. These are probably the best gorditas (in my opinion) in the DFW metroplex. 2-3 of their gorditas will have you full for the day. They don't skimp on meat or flavor. Each gordita packs enough flavor to keep you coming back for more. My personal favorites are Al Pastor, Asada, Lingua, and Cabeza. Each bite is filled with sweet, salty, and spicy Mexican flavors. The feta, crema, and lettuce, are creamy and cool on the pallet getting your taste buds ready for the next bite. The actual Gordita bread is warm and soft with a crunchy exterior. Tacos la Banqueta is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. No bells and whistles. Just really really good food. Do yourself a favor and grab a gordita from this place. read more

So affordable and very authentic to me! The place is always so crowded and after going there more than 2x, I can see the hype. I've grown to love tacos because of this place, despite my dad always bringing home mexican food. The tacos are soft and there's a huge variety for meat. The scallions/onions enhance the smell and I think you can ask for cheese on the tacos? Will try to next time. All the hype about the gorditas, now I understand, it's soo crunchy and the sour cream really makes it rich! My to go taco place! 5 star :)) read more
