Awesome Mexican food restaurant! I will agree with the other reviews that the area surrounding the store is a little rough here, but if you're willing to make the visit inside, you definitely won't regret your decision. The inside of the restaurant definitely feels like you're eating at an authentic Mexican restaurant and the staff is friendly as well.I usually get their tacos and they're priced very well for everything you get with them. The salsas are homemade and they come with limes, cilantro, and grilled onions as well. They also have other great dishes like Menudo and Huevos Ranchero I'd recommend too.All in all, if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, I definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if you live in or near the Lakewood area!

As others have said, it's a very modest place, but the food is great! Very generous serving of cecina! The rice and beans tasted just right. And you get hand-made tortillas! Help this small business out and pay with cash, if you can. The lady is very sweet and welcoming!

El trompo de aquí es lo mas parecido al trompo de Monterrey que he probado en Dallas.Trompo meat from here is the closest to the trompo from Monterrey that I've tried in Dallas.

Onion with a side of tacos trompo was flavorless, buche was okay, and the bistec was not seasoned at all. Green salsa was flavorless and red salsa was spicy, but too salty. The place was dead inside on a Friday afternoon about 1:30pm.

Hole in the wall with decent trompo. Beans and rice were good, but nothing special. Red and green sauces were good. Good service.

It's in a sketchy location and sometimes the employees smoke inside, but they have the best trompo (al pastor) tacos in dallas and it's dirt cheap

With so many high reviews, I was really looking forward to checking this place out. While they make a decent taco, it did not measure up to my expectations:Location: this place is in perhaps the sketchiest strip on Gaston, no small feat. There were a few homeless guys loitering in front of the taco place, one with a huge pit bull. Parking, walking in, and returning to your car here is not for the faint of heart.Food: I got three tacos, a trompo, a barbacoa, and a carnitas. While served with fresh chilled sauces, grilled and fresh onions, chopped cilantro, and citrus wedges, the tacos themselves were on the skimpy side (protein quantity and quality,) compared with my go to taco dive at the Quik Way ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/quik-way-food-marts-dallas ) at Southwestern and Greenville, a family run place that is cleaner, safer, and much more generous with their taco meat (much tastier and better overall value) than this place. Further, there is no 50% per taco upcharge for corn tortillas, as there is here.Now I know, and I am better-stronger for trying this place out. Venture out here to dine at your own risk- you have been informed why here, in this review.

Loved this place so much I literally went back the next day. First of all the tacos here are so cheap at only $1 each. I went with the tompo and barbacoa tacos which were so good. The green and red sauces that they give you with the tacos compliment it the tacos sooo well. Idk how these tacos are only $1. The horchata here is also one of the best horchatas ive ever had. Can't recommend this place enough as it is easily the best tacos I've had in Dallas so far. Only draw back would be the location is kind of sketchy at night but it's still so worth it. Can't recommend this place enough
