Food Stands in Dallas, TX

“I ordered from Rocio’s Handmade Tamales for the first time and I was very pleased. Best tamales I’ve ever had. They were fresh, filled with meat and very delicious. Even the green sauce was the best I’ve tasted, it had a fresh taste and just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be ordering from Rocio’s again. 5 out 5 stars, I highly recommend.“

“Remember it's a food truck, so the atmosphere is in pleasant grove, so a lil hood. The service was good just don't like the fact when you pay for a drink, they give the cup when you get your food, obviously because people take advantage of agua frescas since you serv yourself, no refills. The food was good. I got tacos campechanos with is fajita and chorizo, nice and tender and good mix flavor together and not skimpy. Tacos de trompo, we got the special 15 tacos for 20 dollars, the flavor was really good and seasoned, maybe a little to much achieved because my fingers looked like a I ate hot cheetos, meaning red fingers, but I liked them. Would I be coming back definitely yes. 8 out of 10. They also give potatoes with your tacos fixings. They also good and soft. Monterey style.“

“First time in this place.
I had head tacos which were very well seasoned at a good price. The attention of the qualified staff.
The bad thing is that you have to buy drinks from the refrigerators at the gas station and those are very expensive, try to bring your drinks.
It is inside a gas station so it has very little space for consumption on site, which is the reason for the rating, as well as the price of the drinks.“

“"Pearlie’s Southern Kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, bridging generations with recipes deeply rooted in Southern traditions. I was introduced to their amazing dishes at the State Fair of Texas, and it was a flavor journey back to authentic Southern cooking. Kerston Crawford-Thorns' passion and dedication to continuing the lessons from her beloved grandmother, Pearlie Mae, shine through every dish. The mouthwatering Deep-Fried Collard Greens and the show-stopping six-cheese macaroni are testament to this. With an exciting future ahead, including a Mobile Food Trailer, I'm eager to follow their journey on social media. Kudos to a brand that keeps family and heritage at its core!"“

“we live in the neighborhood we tried them tonight for the first time got to say the tacos 🌮 had flavor n were good can't wait to try their crazy loaded nachos“

“Few taquerías in Dallas have the cult status of El Si Hay. The tiny white-and-green stand on Beckley Avenue has long been a Bishop Arts rite of passage, drawing weekend crowds for its cash-only tacos and ice-cold Jarritos. From the outside, it looks exactly like you want a street-side taco shack to look: hand-painted menu on the wall, a metal counter for stand-and-eat sessions, and the scent of grilled meat drifting onto the sidewalk.

On a recent visit I sampled two of the staples — the fajita (beef skirt) and bistec (beef steak) tacos. At $2.75 apiece, they’re still a value in today’s taco economy. The tortillas were warm and doubled up in classic street-taco style, but they lacked the pillowy freshness or light char that separates a good taco from a great one. The meats, while serviceable, didn’t quite sing: the fajita offered a faint smokiness but no real punch, and the bistec had a one-note chew rather than the beefy depth I was hoping for. Standard cilantro and onion toppings kept things clean, but a vibrant salsa might have helped lift the flavors (extra hot sauce runs 75¢).

There’s no denying El Si Hay’s appeal. The stand is charming, the menu straightforward, and for many locals it’s a nostalgic taste of Oak Cliff. But with Dallas’ taco scene evolving, from trompo specialists to boutique nixtamal tortillas, expectations have risen. Compared with newer competitors, El Si Hay feels more like a dependable neighborhood stop than a destination worthy of a special trip.

Bottom line: If you’re nearby and craving a quick, inexpensive taco with old-school vibes, El Si Hay still delivers. But if you’re coming from “miles and miles” away expecting a revelatory experience, you may leave thinking, as I did, that the legend slightly outshines the reality.

Rating: 4 stars (out of 5) solid and honest, but not quite the transcendent taco stand its reputation suggests.“
