Tacos la Banqueta

This place no matter what time it's is will always be busy and packed full of people enjoying the food here especially for the tacos. Every so often I go for their restaurant style tortas which are absolutely delicious along with tacos al pastor. In the mood for tacos check this place out.

Just your average taco spot. The first two times I've been here had been great with great service! The last few times was anything but. I was hoping it was just an off day the few times, so ofc I would still come back to try again, and to my disappointment it's just not the same. The tortillas really throw me off since they're no longer soft and warm, they come out more stale and chewy.If you're looking for decent authentic Mexican food to catch up with a friend or late night munch, then give them a try! But if you want the best arlington has to offer, it's not here.

My boyfriend and I came here before the rangers game to grab a quick bite. This isn't the place where you go and expect drive through times. I definitely waited for about 15 minutes before actually getting my food. I had the green salsa with my quesadilla which was super spicy! I loved it! I also ordered a Horchata and it was so delicious. Not too watered down and not overly sweet.I wasn't able to try the tortas since we gave them to another friend, but whenever I'm in Arlington I will give them another chance so I can try the tacos! They also have a desert menu that I need to try but maybe when I have more time on my hands!

Look out folks, the Dallas/Fort Worth area has a very, VERY legit Mexican establishment. Typically you can't find this kind of quality in Houston (where I'm from) unless it comes from a food truck. Don't ask me why that is--ironically, life always tells a funny story.But let's dive into what makes this place so awesome (and the little things I can knit pick at). The tacos are FILLED. I mean, the shells are small--don't get me wrong, but they get filled (with plenty of cilantro and onions, too). Now typically I don't mess with tripe, but these guys make it amazing. If I could go back, I would just order 4 tripe tacos rather than play the field. Suardero is a very tender (cut of beef or pork that's in-between the belly and the leg) protein. It's worth trying and is what my friend claims is his favorite meat.Another important element is the sauces/salsa. Very tasty salsa Verde and Roja. Great kick to them, too. Quesadillas can also be fried like a super large empanada; it's not bad, but I'd definitely just invest in more tacos. Gorditas are also traditionally made. The bread is cut and stuffed with cabbage, queso Blanco, and your choice of meat. Suardero seems to be the popular option. Again, I'm a taco kind of guy... but honestly, I think all the food is quite good.Fruit Flavored Aguas frescas don't seem to be made with real fruit. Horchata and Hicama seem fine. The Pineapple one is delicious, but clearly made with artificial elements, and to be honest, that fact won't stop me or my friends from ordering it.Definitely not a big fan of waiting in a huge line to pay for our meal. The line seems to comprise of to-go orders amongst other tables... it seems extremely inefficient and creates traffic that can be otherwise avoided if servers just rang up the ticket and handed you the bill.Ambience wise, it compares to your run of the mill, typical taquerias. Brown tiles... orange interior paint... that kind if vibe. Not a big fan of all these Styrofoam plates either (especially for brick and morter), but it does seem like it makes their jobs easier.Overall, an easy 4-stars. I appreciate my good friends Thao and Jordan for showing me another gem inside the Dallas area.

It's been awhile since I had tacos la banqueta and I was missing it too. I was tempted to order a lot but then I stopped myself and now I'm regretting it. I love the flavor of their pastor. Its my top choice when I come here. This time I got the tripa crispy and lengua. I love their green sauce but my friend likes the red one so to each their own. I wish I got the fried quesadilla with pastor because it was so good. It was a pretty good price range for our party of two, less than $30. Service is great! The food came out fairly quickly when we ordered. The ambiance is very casual. My friend described it as "hole in the wall" so don't expect fancy. A lot of people like to come here on their lunch break here. It's so good and the people are friendly. I'd come back! I'm pretty sure I've been addicted to their tacos and sauce for years.

Not Tex-Mex! Real, authentic, Mexican, food! One of my favorites locally! The staff doesn't speak much, English, which is a good thing when it comes to places like this, but they will send over a waitress that can take your order properly.

Goodness gracious the tortas are huge! I had the Torta Bombocha, it has steak, sausage,chorizo cheese and ham with tomatoes and avocado! THE BEST! The horchata was soooo good!! . When you come in, you pick a table and the waitress will take your order. Food arrive fast. If you don't speak Spanish, no worries at all, I was able to order in English. The only downside is the line to pay for your food before you leave. You have to go to the counter, but dont let that stop you from coming here!

Love this little place for authentic DF tacos. The booths and chairs are not super comfortable. Service is not great, but I will deal with it for the tacos and tortas. It gets busy especially in weekends. Call in an order for pick up to save time. Get the pambazo torta. Its amazing.

Absolutely amazing. The street tacos were delicious and so fresh. We even had to order seconds! The service was great too!

Good food - specially if you want a tortaBad prices - $2 for a taco? Pinche greedy assesMid service - ladies too busy with the chisme to check up on tables
