Deep Ellum Tacos was a quick and inexpensive spot for Mexican food in Dallas, TX. It's a hole in the wall, to-go only spot but they do have some tables set up on the street up front. We ordered the street style taco, gordita, nachos de la casa, and handmade quesadilla all with veggies. The taco was made with mushrooms, fajita veggies, white onion, cilantro, and lime grilled on a corn tortilla. It was solid but nothing super special. It was served with a habanero sauce which definitely enhanced the experience. The gordita was a fried masa stuffed with mushrooms, fajita veggies, lettuce, beans, cotija cheese, Mexican cream, and guacamole. The gordita was absolutely amazing. It was crunchy and filled with the perfect amount of food. I just wish the fried masa had been a little less oily. The nachos were made from homemade tortilla chips, cheese, veggies, guacamole, beans, cream, jalapeños, and the habanero sauce. The nachos weee easily my favorite item of the menu. Finally the quesadilla was a deep fried tortilla stuffed with Mexican mashed potatoes, lettuce, cream, and cheese. It was solid but again nothing amazing.Overall Deep Ellum Tacos had some great food for a great price. I'd recommend the nachos and gordita both for their tastes as well as portions. I'd definitely stop by when visiting Dallas in the future!
