    Pastor tacos
    Anna K.

    Food was good, came out quick. Price was reasonable and they are open late. Margs were good also

    Churros yes!
    George A.

    I got 3 traditional tacos. Al pastor and chicken yes!! The steak was dry. Horchata is really good but probably a lot of sugar. And then the churros are damn good. Nice vibes and friendly staff. Pretty clean. I'll come back.

    I have never written a bad review but this deserves it. I stopped eating my food half way just to write it. The meat and oily and overcooked. The tortilla is soaked in oil. If I would give it zero stars I would. I was disgusting. It is literally dripping in oil.

    Came here to have dinner before a show at the Winspear Opera house. We did not want to do a fancy dinner. We opted for tacos. Ordered the 5 taco plate plus an additional taco. Plate came with rice & beans and Jalapeños. Also ordered Jamaica drink. Total bill came out to $22. Not bad for a downtown location. The Al Pastor was a bit dry. The chicharon was good. The lengua was also good. The airconditioner was so loud, it's annoying.

    Laid back ambience in this casual Mexican restaurant downtown. Ordered the veggie quesadilla which was excellent. Prices are reasonable, with lots of choices. Order at the front, will give you a number and deliver your food to your table. Took off one star only because some of the tables were not clean.

    Authentic taco spot in downtown Dallas! Walking in, I knew the place would be awesome when I saw the trompos! Tried all three (pastor, pollo, y asada) and they were all great. Quick service with a full bar. Happy hour at this spot is a must! Pro Tip: if you order the tacos definitely mix and match the meats!

    5 Taco Plate

    This place is clearly a Dallas favorite. It is a kick ass little taco restaurant located in downtown Dallas.. super friendly staff addictive flavor filled tacos and good alcoholic beverages with an outdoor area to eat and chill. Makes this place a great spot to visit after a late night of drinking or even for an afternoon lunch worth a stop considering driving all the way to Dallas again just to get me some tacos here!

    Tacos de trompo and steak

    We have ordered here almost every weekend for weeks. Never disappointed. The tacos are so god. Plenty of flavor and just so filling. Love the double tortilla. The limes and cilantro, onions are always fresh. The horchata always hits so damn good.

    5 Taco Plate
    Jonathan C.

    I loved getting to try out the Tex Mex at this spot! I started out with the guac and chips which came with a very generous portion of chips. They included some salsa along with their guac. I was getting full before the rest of the meal! I had their 5 taco plate and tried a variety of the tacos they had on their menu. I loved getting to sample their different proteins and options here. The only thing I'd change is that the tacos were single tortilla instead of double like some street taco places, which made it easy for some of the filling to slide off.

    Twisted Fries

    my friends and i decided to eat here due to our texmex cravings. this place resembled that of a fast food restaurant and was very lively inside. there was a solid selection of items you could order from. my partner and i shared an al pastor fries, chicken salad, and birria tacos. the chicken salad was amazing!! there was soooo much chicken and it was very juicy. they had all the ingredients that i love in a salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, spring mix, lettuce). the birria tacos were alright. the sauce was pretty yummy. the fries were a bit underwhelming for me. i felt like a lot of the al pastor pieces were all fat, no meat. the cheese was at the bottom of the tray (for some odd reason). the sauce for the fries was yummy though. overall, my texmex cravings were satisfied. i would come back just for the chicken salad.

    Twisted Fries no sour cream

    The food was a solid 8/10 but the service was just.. not it. Called ahead to ask for suggestions for parking and the girl who answered didn't even know. we asked for recommendations on what to order (first timers); when we arrived and the same girl took our order and again didn't have much to say. Maybe it was just an off day.. We ordered the barbacoa twisted fries with no sour cream. Very flavorful and a lot of food for the price. Was impressed. Will try again for sure, food is worth it.

    Street tacos and twisted fries
    Aisha S.

    Great food, nice ambience, and friendly staff. The location is also so great. There is street parking. Note it's located in downtown Dallas so you may have to find a garage during the day.

    Is the chicken white meat, dark meat, or a mix?

    Dogs are allowed so do they need to stay on the patio?

    Yes

    Does Twisted Trompo have many gluten free options?

    Pretty much everything is gluten free unless you get your tacos with flour tortillas. Go for corn!

    Any chance their corn tortillas and chips are gluten free? Sounds like my kinda place, but I have to ask.

    Corn tortillas are always gluten-free

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.

I hit the jackpot gem with Bucket and Rope. This place is just off the main areas in downtown near the Dallas Farmer's Market. The patrons are mostly locals who know what's up. The layout is spacious but welcoming. I sat at the bar as I was solo, but there were plenty of great seating options including comfortable couches. The patio is currently being re-done, but will be perfect for the upcoming fall season. The menu offerings were plentiful and varied, but there are specials and rotating options as well. Alexa at the bar greeted me, and went over the menu and specials with me. She did a great job making my cocktails and giving casual conversation throughout. I ordered the off-menu Steak Frites with broccolini and fries. The steak was charred perfectly on the outside and moist and at the lovely medium temp on the inside. The broccolini was on point with just a bit of spice from the red pepper. Fries were shoestring style, and they did it right with that perfect crisp on the outside and soft inside.
