The aesthetics bring joy into the environment, however it does not make up for the mediocre service and their timing with getting the food ready. Waited 25 minutes for simple bacon and egg tacos, and they were still not ready. I have had the tacos, I had to leave before getting my order,and they are ok. read more

Menudo was great! Will definitely be going back! Tortilla were homemade which was awesome. Can't wait to try the other menu items

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants. Came in this afternoon ordered menudo and a bean tostada on the side, it was delicious. Hubby ordered the huevos rancheros he very much enjoyed his dinner also. Waitress was quick bringing our drinks and taking our order. I am knocking off 1 star because the flour tortillas get hard quickly. We will definitely come again. read more

So DELICIOUS! Great customer service and very authentic food! very clean family oriented. read more

See all

Best real Mexican food ! The soups are delicious and some of my favorites are the chicken mole, barbacoa tacos, the pork carnitas are great and the carne guisada is very good with good portions! read more

Popped in here the other morning on a whim (ok, I ran out of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and my 4 year old had a fit) and who doesn't love a warm breakfast? I wouldn't call it a whole in the wall but it certainly felt like a mom and pop place. All the breakfasts come with the diced potatoes and tortillas....both were legit! I got the chorizo and eggs which also came with refried beans (which were delicious comfort lard filled beans). Breakfasts were about $6-7 each...perfect price, perfect breakfast. I think I just talked myself into heading there for breakfast again right now. Mmmmm... my mouth is watering. The only thing I didn't like was that I walked out smelling like a fast food fryer. That was pretty nasty. read more

Loved! Great food, wonderfully authentic! Friendly service and laid back atmosphere. A terrific find! read more

Tipico's - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Loved loved the flavor of the beef fajita meat. Definitely marinated. Excellent rice and beans. I mean really excellent. I will come back for sure and try other menu items! read more

I really loved this place until today. The hostess were so rude from the moment I walked in. I had never experienced that after so many years of going to típicos with the family. We did not feel welcome and we were thrown out in the cold with a 4 month old baby. I'm very disappointed of this service. I won't be returning. read more

Food is EXCELLENT , I got the steak plate everything fresh and amazing , I will be ordering again & again delicious

They make their own tortillas by hand . . . you can taste the rustic smell. Not a physically good looking place, but the service is great, folks are nice, prices are good and food tastes good. Good Tex Mex! read more

Really good food, looked just like picture, covid safety enforced, and our waitress was friendly!!

I've been a fan of this hole in the wall for 20 years, love their food because It's true authentic home-style texican food (not tex-mex) but food my mom, aunts and grandma cooked, homestyle!! I am disgusted when paying my tab how surprised I became when I was charged $1.95 for tap water!!! Is that legal? I get the fact that their prices are very reasonable, this is why they're always busy, feel like I've been had, this, no doubt left a bad taste in my mouth, extremely disappointed. read more

Dive Tex-Mex restaurant located at the north end of Love Field airport. Service was great. Chips were good but fairly greasy. Food was excellent. I had tacos al carbon. Flour tacos were obviously made from scratch, steak was seasoned to perfection. So why only 3 stars? I really give it 3.5. Knock off 1/2 star for greasy chips, half star for loud noise level, and half star due to a lot of flies in the restaurant. Just the food though? 5 stars. Would I go back? Sure. read more

Service 5 Management 5 Menu 4 Authentic atmosphere 5 Sauce 5 Chips 3 Prices5 Manudo 5 Manudo served everyday, that is the only reason why I come here. There are many Mexican food restaurants in my way here but they only have Manudo on weekends. read more

Menudo on Sunday! Hangover cured, and it was even good the next day! They gave me flour tortillas, and I had the Mexican rice and retried beans with it. Pretty good stuff. I'd come for Menudo again, but that's about it. Wasn't too impressed with the rice or beans, neither was my daughter. Won't be my go to spot, but they had great carry out service and counter service! The place was pretty packed as well, so enjoy! read more

Real down home Mexican food. This is not Tex-Mex! I go there all the time for lunch. It is so good! Get the pork Guiso! Yummy!!

Always get a flour taco with eggs and beans and can never go wrong. Big fan, food is great. Chicken soup is so filling and good. Definitely recommend for some authentic Mexican. Highly recommend!!!!! Parking can be tight but worth the hassle! read more

Good food don't get me wrong but poor and bad customer service from just only one person , this big dude at the register is so rude and treat women with no respect ! read more

I got serious food poisoning from their food. I asked for guacamole and got a plain avocado with no flavor. I also asked for corn tortillas and they gave me flour ones instead. This used to be my favorite place to eat until I spent my night throwing up everything I had for dinner.. read more

3 words: ORDER THE MENUDO. Seriously, it is the best and tastes the exact same everytime. Yes you may have to wait 10-15 minutes for a table but it's worth any wait.. and worth any drive - I drive an hour to eat here. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Dallas. It's not a hipster taco joint or "gourmet" Mexican. It's a straight up norteño Mexican style restaurant. Amazing Guisado de Puerco con salsa roja with the homemade flour tortillas is your best choice. Tostadas with beans or guacamole or carne molida are also great. For breakfast, huevos rancheros or menudo are the bomb. I haven't had the caldos but my family loves them. read more

This place is amazing! I cannot get over how delicious the food is here! The Chilaquiles are the best I've ever had! The tortillas are also pretty awesome! We drive all the way from Frisco just to eat here! read more

We were looking for breakfast tacos like you'd get in South Texas, this place hit the spot. Great tortillas!! Carne guisada con guacamole was delish! Come early this place gets packed. read more

I am judging this restaurant from two different views: food and originality. On the food side, I would probably give it 3 1/2 stars as their chips and salsas that they bring for starters were definitely above average, and the carne al carbon tacos were very good (although not really charbroiled). However, on the originality side, this restaurant offers the SAME items that most Mex-Mex, Tex-Mex, EX-Mex restaurant do. It's kind of disappointing to not be able to find a wider variety of Mexican dishes in these restaurants. Anyway, that's just my view... read more

THEEEEEEE BEST tacos el carbon on the planet. I live in Los Angeles and have some great mexican restaurants in my city but NOTHING has compared to these tacos. I'm in Dallas a few times a year and this will always be my favorite place for tacos in the US. read more

This is a favorite of mine as it's near my workplace. Took my family for the 1st time and they enjoyed it. I love the caldo de res (beef stew), which is what I always order. The chips and salsa are good too. I'll be back. read more

I found Tipico's via a Yelp search. I was in Dallas for work and ready for some great Mexican food. Eh. I wanted to like Tipico's, but first, the menus were sticky and filthy. I washed my hands after touching it. The waitress was new--no worries--but she didn't know a thing about the menu. I wanted two tacos and a tostada. I ended up with a taco AND tostada dinner. Holy food! I told the waitress, but she still wasn't sure what went wrong. Then, I ordered chips and guacamole, and another waitress scooped the chips with her bare hands. Totally grossed me out. The food was super greasy and soaking wet. I was legitimately nervous I was going to get sick from the food. Thank goodness I didn't! I don't recommend Tipico's. read more

Went to eat at The Carrollton Location on Beltline Rd, today 12-26-11. The Food was ok! But, my gosh the servings are very scarce? Son bien codos aki, siervanme mas alcabo les voy a pagar, no me lo estan dando gratis...No sean tan Monterrey's y codos!!! La mesera ni si quiera jamas regreso aver si no necistabamos algo mas, mejor regreso otra, por aun asi ni si quiera les quice dejar propinas a las juevonas, por k les estube k amar la atencion k me siervieran mas refresco y mas chips con salsa a mi y mi esposo y un amigo k por primera vez lo llevamos aki! What, I said is they are very cheapskates and skimpy on their portions? Guess it depends on what day you go? Don't think I will be returning to this Location anytime soon either! Me fui con Hambre, I was still hungry when I left here...I feel cheated here for the price of food they charge...Just saying! Oh Well, our so-called waitress barely only got a $2 tip from us cause on this day our Service was very crappy and it embarrassed me to have taken my husbands here for the first time! Ok, Since I never finished this Review from the last time cause I have Shiny ball syndrome and get easily side tracked...LOL Here is another review from this same place on another day! It was around August 10th weekend....Anyways, Food was so Delish and Portions were so perfect. I was enjoying my meal eating a Chicken Burrito with Lettuce, tomatoe, cheese. and I was down 2nd to the last bite when all of a Sudden I felt something kinda hard in my mouth, first, I thought it was a hard bone or the grisel of the Chicken. But, to my Surprise it was...OMG...are you ready for this?...You know the SILVER METAL SCRUBBERS THEY USE IN THE KITCHEN FOR THE POTS AND PANS? Well, it was one of the strands of the METAL SCRUBBER ABOUT an inch long in my Chicken Taco...What the crap!!! OMG...I could have swallowed that darn thing and it could have done alot of internal damage to my esophagus, my Intestines, my Teeth had I bit down harder, the damages are unspeakable! I was so trying not to run in to the bathroom from thinking about where that scrubber has been!!!! I should have called the manager the next day and told him about it..But, I didn't dumb me. I told the Asst. Manager though and not sure if she con-vied the message over to the manager the next day. But, next time I go I will bring it to Manager's attention. Should have even sued these people. So, Now I will not even return there for this reason I now am afraid of what else I may find in my Food here! So, the Carrollton Location is outta the Question for me! And so is the Northwest Highway Location...Hadn't been there to that Location in Years...last time I was at the Northwest Highway Location I found Molded Black Cabbage in my Caldo de Pollo...I was almost done eating that caldo when I happened to turn my cabbage to the other side to cut it in half cause it was to big as I turned it...OMG....Black mold....Can you believe this crap? Well, goes to show they do not do through inspections of their Foods before they use them! Gonna have to find a new to go to Tex-Mex Restaurant? Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Inspect your foods People...guess, we can't be to trusting...But, I have learned a great lesson to check all food before it goes in my mouth! read more

I was born and raised in Dallas and actually ate here when it was Don Pepe's on Hampton or Westermoreland in West Dallas? Anywho, I moved to Nevada in 1998 but I promise you every single time I fly into Dallas to visit family, which is about 2-4 times per year, Tipico's is my very first stop. My family knows where to find me as soon as my plane lands. Funny how they even text and say "meet you at the spot" LOL. My all-time fav is Tacos de Barbacoa or Lengua in flour tortillas but the Pollo a la Mexicana is also awesome. It may be a run down lil hole in the wall but when it comes to flavor, this IS "the spot". You just have to try it. read more

Best beans and rice in DFW. Homemade torts. Carne guisada is legit.

I love mex-mex. I went here for lunch after reading another yelp review. I had 3 beef (make that steak!) burritos with guac, including rice and beans for $7.50. It hard to get a better value than this(5 stars for value). The most expensive thing on the menu is Mexican shrimp at $10.50. This is my kind of place. There were actually a fair amount of Gringos in there when I went. I give it 4.5 stars. Everything was really good, but couldn't give it quite 5 stars. I will definitely be back though. read more

By far the best menudo in town! Their homemade tortillas are also amazing! All of the food was authentic that it reminded me of the way my great grandmothers food! I can't wait to go back. read more

By recommendation of an old friend, we stopped here on our road trip across the US. The salsa!! Delicious! This was Mexican food different from what I was used to, but it was super bueno. Also, Tipicos had a great lively vibe on a summer afternoon. The family who runs the restaurant is extremely friendly and welcoming! I really appreciate their hospitality and enjoyed stopping by to eat their delicious food. If I'm ever in Dallas again, I'll have to be back. read more

What a great place that I'm sure gets overlooked by the mainstream - and I'm glad! Authentic Mexican food that's very inexpensive. I ordered the Tacos al Carbon (a.k.a., fajitas for lazy people!) and the meat was spiced wonderfully! I only wish they had margaritas, but oh well. A Corona with a lime sufficed nicely. And, here's a tip - the only thing I WOULD NOT order is the queso - it's the nacho cheese from a can. Other than that, food is wonderful and a great off the beaten path kind of place to go! read more

I only discovered this place a couple of years ago when I started working a couple of miles away, but I've definitely made up for lost time, as it's made a meteoric rise up to the very top of my list of Tex-Mex joints in Dallas. It's on a stretch of N.W. Highway near Bachman Lake that was once upon a time a really nice restaurant row. After a couple of decades as a rather seedy string of strip joints, it's now morphed into a 2-mile run of Mexican restaurants and retail. Each meal starts with a bowl of chips and 2 kinds of salsa, one of which will light you up if you're not prepared. Décor is very unassuming, looks like it was probably a sit-down Pizza Hut in a previous incarnation. You seat yourself, then afterward, go to the register and tell them your table number when you're ready to pay. And be ready for sticker shock (the good kind) - you'll probably wonder if they left one of the entrees off the bill. I've tried at least a dozen things on the menu, and they've all been incredible, from the plump chicken and beef enchiladas slathered in generous amounts of sour cream sauce and chili, to the tacos al carbon and chicken tacos, both served in homemade tortillas. The pork guiso was a little fatty the one time I had it, but the flavor was out of this world. All of the pollo is obviously cooked in-house and shredded, nothing like the processed "fajita strips" you find in a lot of chain restaurants. You'll need several napkins when you eat the chicken tacos, because they are quite juicy. As somebody has mentioned already, the beans are probably the best I've ever had - the "secret ingredient" is bacon. Sweet, heavenly, bacon. Or bacon grease, if you want to get technical. So very decadent, and so very irresistible. I'm not sure if this should be mentioned publicly, but during one of our first lunch visits, my buddy and I actually high-fived each other across the table after we tried those beans. They're that good. The caldos are giant and chock full of pretty much everything. I haven't tried the menudo, but I've heard good things. As for service, it can admittedly be a little spotty. Ironically, it seems the busier they are, they more attentive. Maybe the servers play down to the level of competition? During my last visit, on a slow Tuesday evening, I couldn't seem to get a chip or tea refill to save my life. I hope someday they open one of these in E. Dallas (there's another in Carrollton), so I can work it into my rotation a little more often. Every time I go, I can't help but wonder why in the name of all that is good and holy are people waiting for an hour to get a table down the street at Pappasito's, when they could be here? Seriously, this place is twice as good and less than half the price. read more

Way too greasy. Salsa was good but the chips were greasy and thick. Chicken was dark meat. Beans seemed to even have a grease taste. I could have just drank the salsa and been better off. read more

Excellente! From the chips to the salsa to the Mexican Coke to the tacos al carbon - it was awesome! Service was fast and attentive. I would recommend this spot for a quick lunch if you are in the area. read more

Place is a must for those who want some menudo or just great Mexican food. Salsa is amazing as well. For as busy as they are they will need to expand on establishment soon! The food is that good. read more

The bad service begins at the top with the arrogant owner. I placed my to go order and waited outside for more than the 15 minutes he said it would take. He was extremely rude when I approached the counter to check on my order. He said that they were busy, that I was "wasting his time," that I only waited 20 minutes, and that I should wait longer. I was too surprised to speak. He told me to go in the kitchen and help or he would give me a refund and I could go somewhere else (he said "go somewhere else" twice). I mentioned that I had been a good customer for 10 years--since before he started working there. At that point he informed me that HE was the owner. After learning that, I decided to take the refund. He handed me the money and told me "you are not welcome here." Tipico's was great for 10 years, but I don't think this new "owner" (or son of the owner?) likes Anglos placing to go orders. I can't think of any other sane explanation for his bizarre (or racist?) behavior. There are other Mexican restaurants in Dallas that welcome everyone with open arms. read more
