Ooook this place is great. I got a Torta from there. And I was going by how the picture looked. My god i was VERY HAPPY with my order. It was sooooooooo delicious. Next time I go that way I will be stopping there again. I never said at a restaurant how much i liked what I got so many times before. But I was very satisfied. Again DELICIOUS

Carne asada tacos on flour tortillas were really good but the salsa made them great. I had the green avocado salsa ( my favorite) and the red which was also good. Stop by here and grab some tacos.

Dallas is the worst place in Texas but El Paisa is the saving grace. Great tacos. Great beans and rice. Great salsa.

I've only ever been here for breakfast and I always get the biggest breakfast burrito with ham...I think it tastes fantastic, like if I made it at home. They're also fast, even when busy.

Best Homemade Mexican food...all the food. Picture looks good. But the taste. Yummmm!😁😋 Meat just falls apart, it's juicy, You can taste the chili just enough so you can still taste how good the actual food is.😁 I already ate some off of this plate. You get alot! And really great price... My fav pit stop! Oh, & has a drive through😍

There's lots of Mexican restaurants very close by, I was not sure which one to choose. I Got so LUCKY! The Woman who took my order was Professional and Nice. When the Cook finished with my Quesadillas, he was Very Nice also. So their Salsa bar has 4 sauces, some Cilantro and onion and I think cabbage. The verde salsa and the lighter green sauce are so amazing. I have Never liked any of the orange colored sauce at other Mexican restaurants, but they put an orange/red sauce in my to go order...I tried it and IT WAS HOT- TASTY and So Amazing. The rice and beans are So fabulous- the meat in my quesadilla IS TENDER AND FLAVORFUL!! BEST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN A VERY LONG TIME!! BEST MEXICAN FOOD I EVER HAD.

The place was delicious, good food and the prices are great, mid average. The bathrooms were clean. The staff was friendly. They have a fresh salsa bar. I ordered the steak tacos 😍, they were fresh and delicious. I definitely will be back again.

Bomb local taqueria. Prices are all under $10 and they give you a lot of food. Location is small best for parties of $6. Parking is tight. But food comes out really quick and staff is friendly. Locals recommended this place and with all the competitors in the area this place comes out on top. Ingredients are fresh, meats are cooked well and the place is really clean. Great lunch and dinner spot. Everyone was raving about the tacos and opting for the fajita seasoned beef instead of any other type of meat

I order from here every other month or so. The food is unpretentious and good. I've tried many things and have yet to find anything that was bad. The place is a great value for a good meal (or two).

We have to get their nachos everytime we pass by. Tried their Giant Burrito w/barbacoa, and it was decent. I also got their guac & chips where I found the guac a little too lemony for my taste, but it was still good.

Tried to get in but the cashier woman just stared at me. Went next door to Gorditas and had a great meal. Other customers were coming and going.

Food wasn't good at all. I had the Torta with carne asada and it was bland. The highlight of the meal was the horchata which basically washed down the blandness with a ton of cinnamon flavor.

Usually the Food is Great, but they served me A Cold Plate of Nachos and Quesadillas with no cheese 🧀 and I called and they unplugged the phone line.
