Our neighborhood is home to so many taquerías that food writers have created enterprises attempting to review all of them. But a few Oak Cliff taco joints stand out against the crowd, and Los Torres Taquería is one of them. This family-owned taquería opened about a year ago, serving Sinaloa-style cuisine. One thing that sets it apart is goat. Chivo tatemado is slow-cooked goat seasoned with two types of chilis and five seasonings, from a Torres family recipe. It can be ordered as tacos, on handmade corn tortillas or by the pound. Barbacoa roja estilo Sinaloa is different from other barbacoas in that it is a mix of beef and pork, served more like guisado. “We are the only ones around here who do this because it’s our style,” says co-owner Ramiro Torres, who runs the restaurant with his wife, Evangelina Torres, and his sister, Irene Torres.

1 Taquería Rositas

Excellent tacos al pastor and deshebrada fried tacos are enough to make this a regular stop. Also try the flautas plate and aguas frescas.

Very good chorizo and barbacoa tacos. And if you’re in the mood for a sno cone, there’s that, too.
