At the home offices of craveDFW we love our tacos, and we know Dallas loves a good taco as well. The fastest growing segment in the local restaurant industry must assuredly include the word ‘taco’ or ‘taqueria’ in their name.
We were the driving force behind the Dallas Taco Tour and we certainly have our opinion of who makes the best taco, be it al pastor, lengua, barbacoa, carnita or a simple breakfast taco. What we want to know at Crave is what is your favorite?
The most commented taco stand in Dallas-Fort Worth will be awarded a nice plaque from us and you will win a Taste of Dallas/ BestBuzz Prize Pack that includes a fistful of tickets, food coupons and much more.
We will accept nominations through the long weekend, giving you plenty of chances to run out and sample some that you might read about here.

I would say El Padrino at the bishop arts district, hands down and feet down as well. Don’t think I’ve seen a taco stand stay as strong, delicious, and friendly as long as they have. Plus, they give you authentic Tacos, can’t beat these boogie taco places that rip people off.
For a girls night out, Taco Diner. Not only do they have good tacos but good drinks too.
!!TacoDiner!!
El Padrino at the Bishop Arts District. Hands down and feet up, yo! Plus, not expensive and authentic.

For TexMex tacos Mi Cocina and for authntic street tacos Taco Diner.
Best Taco stand in Dallas is El Padrino in the bishop arts district. Love me some Al Pastor Tacos.
I have to go with El Padrino as well….I love their chicken tacos!
Best Taco “Stand” I go with El Padrino at either Bishop Arts District or Jefferson Blvd in Oak Cliff. Veal Tacos, please!
Hands down for El Padrino at the bishop arts district here.
El Padrino in the bishop arts district – North Oak Cliff. Chicken Tacos ROCK! I get my drink on at Glorias then walk across for some Tacos.

I want to c ote for Cafeteria y Loncheria El Padrino at the Bihsop Arts District for Best Taco!
El Padrino – hands down. Also the best red chili sauce on the side.
El Padrino is totally the best. Taco Diner is sucky TexMex.
We always go to El Padrino in the OC, it’s the best!
El Padrino FTW!
I’ve been to almost every taqueria in Dallas county and El Padrino is hands down the best. Killer veal tacos and pastor to die for.
El Padrino in the bishop arts district!
Nothing beats El Padrino in the B.A.D.
Pollo Tacos at El Padrino in North Oak Cliff.
El Padrino at the bishop arts district. My favorite tacos are their breakfast tacos, eggs with potato, topped with cheese.
LOVE El Padrino!
El Padrino in Oak Cliff. Chicken Tacos.
Lengua Tacos are my favorite at El Padrino – Jefferson blvd location.
For breakfast tacos, El Padrino on Jefferson is tops.
El Padrino. Sweet people and even sweeter tacos!
Lengua and pastor at El Padrino are the best tacos in Dallas.
There are lots of great tacos in Dallas, but none to compare with El Padrino in OC.
I have to join with the people in voting for Cafeteria Y Loncheria El Padrino.
el padrino hits the spot for me. Their salsa is one of the best if not number one. Its not fancy and updated like all these taco places but thats what i like about it, traditional and authentic. Dont be fooled by the exterior but this place the food speaks for itself.
El Padrino at the Bishop Arts District. From the food to the service behind the taco window….this is the Spot to get your tacos in Dallas Texas. I’ve been to all the other spots these people are talking about….Padrino’s has my vote
You can get a good taco anywhere. But if you want a great taco there’s really only one choice. El Padrino.
Good 2 Go Taco is the most unique!
A gringo taco, I know, but Torchy’s had a monthly special that had a whole split grilled jalapeno sausage, brisket, queso and a freakin’ fried egg on it that was just ridiculous. Brisket tacos at Taco Joint. Top Secret Carnitas Tacos at Cane Rosso. But it sounds like El Padrino is the place to be.
Jay Jerrier is right. El Padrino is the place to be.
We went to lots of these places over the weekend so we would know which is best. It’s not even close. Cafeteria y Loncheria El Padrino is WAY better than Good 2 Go, Taco Diner, Fuel City, Guero, and Bachman Tacos.
Looks like a landslide.
I was going to say Tacos El Guero, till I saw all the people praising El Padrino. It only seemed fair to try El Padrino before voting. Boy, am I glad I did. INCREDIBLE tacos. El Padrino is my new all time favorite.
I want El Padrino now! I am out of town but when I am back in Dallas this will be the first place I visit. Next week!!!
