Tacodeli serves more than 40 different kinds of tacos (including breakfast). Oh, and it's BYOB. Need I say more?
Address: 1878 Sylvan Ave, Ste 100, Dallas, TX 75208
This little gem is one of Dallas's best kept secrets. Everything is homemade, even the tortillas, and 100% authentic. One of their most popular items is the mole because the cacao beans are peeled by hand and make the flavors pop like nothing you've ever tasted.
Address: 607 N Willomet Ave, Dallas, TX 75208
Street tacos are the name of the game at Salsa Limon. The best part about that? They're small enough for you to order several and sample different combos! The pastor, carne asada, and barbacoa tacos seem to be the obvious winners, and all the sauces have been praised in the absolute highest regard.
Address: 550 Throckmorton St, Fort Worth, TX 76102
Locals recommend the fish tacos at Tamale House, partially because they're so big that even our Texas-sized appetites might have trouble finishing them. A huge tilapia filet is marinated and grilled to perfection, plated on two corn tortillas, and topped with pickled onions, guac, and a to-die-for chipotle dressing.
Address: 1707 E 6th St, Austin, TX 78702
The Migas tacos are where it's at at this iconic Austin food truck. Fluffy eggs, crispy tortilla chips, pico, shredded cheese, and avocado all piled in a homemade corn tortilla. It doesn't get much better than that.
Address: 1704 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78702
From breakfast to carne asada tacos, crunchy to soft shells, mild green salsa to fiery habenero and everything in between, this hole-in-the-wall joint is definitely a hidden gem in San Antonio. Your only regret will be not ordering enough food!
Address: 20323 Huebner Rd #111, San Antonio, TX 78258
This long-standing joint in Houston draws foodies from all corners of town to chow down on some of their famous breakfast tacos. Potato, chorizo, and egg is probably their most popular (and arguably most flavorful) menu item. Oh, and did I mention they make their own tortillas?
Address: 1604 Emancipation Ave, Houston, TX 77003
Everyone who's anyone knows that Houston's very best barbacoa can be found here at Gerardo's. It's the perfect marriage of fatty, juicy steak and seasonings that bring out the natural flavor of the meat. You'd better get here early if you want some, because it sells out faster than you can snap your fingers!
Address: 609 Patton St, Houston, TX 77009
