Taqueria El Arquito - Dallas

Excellent food, nowhere to sit to enjoy it. The outside of the place was super sketchy, but we were glad we risked

Really great service delicious food don't miss outI had tacos rice and a

Listen....this place is where you get REAL norteño street tacos. Everything is fresh. The trompo is spinning by the grill. Their salsa perrona is to-die-for (I want to drink it...even my dog whines for it). They have horchata. The staff, who are always smiling, remember what you always order and call you amiga . I never speak English here, nor do I want to. It 's a dive. The tacos are a steal. Don 't come here looking for a sit-down restaurant. It 's a taqueria inside a tiny gas station for goodness sake! ....but DO come here if you want the best authentic dive street taco experience....the kind that last for years because it becomes a habit....a favorite habit...and you only let it go when you move to a different neighborhood/city and start all over.Dietary restrictions: They are just conscientious about not putting cheese or pork on my tacos or serving me wheat tortillas. The staff even remember my preferences when I come. I appreciate that.

I am a proud Texican and I mean bidness when it comes to tacos. I search high and low in whatever neighborhood I live for the *best* dive taqueria around. I don 't speak English there. I don 't order tortillas de harina. I expect the very *best* salsa perrona, fresh everything ....breakfast tacos and lunch/dinner tacos.....great refried beans....and bonus if they accept plastic. I don 't want frills because the very best taquerias don 't have them. If you want a place to sit down while paying 3 times for frills and worse tacos, go to Velvet Taco. If you want the real deal....the tacos that will stay on your mind....the smiling staff that call you amiga and remember what you always order.....come here. You 'll be glad you did.

I LOVE this place. Food is always hot and made fresh!! I come here at least 3 times a week!
