Tacos DF: Reviews & Ratings

My coworker got this recommendation from her dads friend, and these tacos were legit. I ordered the carne asada and Al pastor tacos. Carne asada tacos had a nice char grill taste to them and the Al pastor tacos were flavorful. Don't forget to grab some cilantro and onions because they don't come with them on the tacos. They definitely got me wanting to grab some from lunch next and try other items.

Tucked away in a corner strip mall at Dayton/Parker, it's easy to go right past Tacos DF. If you like tacos or pozole, this would be a mistake. You can expect tasty tacos and other items done Mexico City-style, as the name implies. They offer suadero, not common around places I frequent, tasty pina-laden pastor, and above average asada, to name a few. Huaraches, tamales, enchiladas, and gordita are other items available. The star for us has been pozole. It tastes like memories of Tuesdays in Guerrero, when the pozole flowed like wine, or something like that. Quality's on point, portions are plenty big, tacos, too. Tip: Tacos on the taco plate come w lettuce. Sin lechuga a la carte. Do not expect gringo'd up Mexican food and you'll be stoked you stopped in.

These tacos are tasty, authentic and big. The barbacoa and cabeza tacos are standouts, I can't remember ever having barbacoa and cabeza tacos that were better. The meat in all the tacos is juicy, fresh and delicious. Eating inside is a great experience. They have a self-serve salsa bar with some delicious salsas and cucumbers, they have Mexican music playing energetically and there is a steady stream of people coming in and out that seem to really enjoy the food. Great vibes all around. Like I mentioned, these tacos are big. Four tacos is all you need to get full here, ordering more than that may be a mistake. I personally prefer street tacos to be smaller, but to each their own. I would also pass on the chorizo, not much going on there. Overall though the food is scrumptious and I look forward to coming back to try a quesadilla (they were cooking some up when we arrived and they looked on point).

I gave 4 for the food but the place needs frequent cleaning. You can see dirty floors in the kitchen and dining area. The tables were sticky and not wiped off of crumbs. I'd still go back but I think I'll eat in the car.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I used to live down the street from this place and I never tried. Now I live 30+ minutes away and finally tried and I am upset because of all the times I should've been eating here. These tacos were crazy good.... The carnitas and cabeza were so flavorful and tender. The onions and cilantro bring it to a next level and the salsa is amazing!! I cannot wait to go back. I definitely would give both tacos a 10/10, I licked my plate clean AND I'll get four different tacos next time. I also got their carne asada burrito that was on the salty side but I still enjoyed it, but I'll definitely get it without cheese next time. Btw their carne asada is also amazing and nicely seasoned. Happy stomach :)))))

Delicious Mexican food in a strip mall just off Parker and Dayton. They offer fillings that are less common than most taco shops. We tried the barbacoa tacos as well as the chilanga sandwich with steak and Mexican sausage. It's like a torta but slightly different. Their quesadilla was really tasty and different as a home-made corn tortilla is used in lieu of the flour that most restaurants use. I had the chicharron prensado (bacon) which is something I don't see very often. It was smoky, slighly chewy and very good. The salsa bar is awesome with four types of salsa (one is a guacamole), cilantro, onions, limes, radish, spicy onion and jalapeno mix, pickled carrots and peppers, etc. Friendly staff. The interior is basic and kept very clean. Give Tacos DF a try for sure.
