The August issue of the Oak Cliff Advocate featured a “Taco Tour,” where we started a game of taco telephone and asked local taco spots where they would eat tacos, other than their own business.
We started with Taqueria El Si Hay, which has won the Best of Advocate Best Tacos several times. But y’all had some things to say about it after we posted the story to Facebook.
Here are some of the comments:
“What’s crazy is that those tacos would be just passable in Mexico.”
“Nope..Definitely not the same and not worth the wait…”
“They straight buns.”
And many of the comments critiqued our starting choice while also providing some suggests, so here they are.
Jerry’s Supermarket
This was the name I saw the most in the comments, and their loyal fans noted that they are generous with meat portions and have a shorter wait than El Si Hay. Somebody also shouted out their pico de gallo.
“I never would have known to look for freshly made tacos at a grocery store,” one person commented in response to a Jerry’s endorsement.
Taqueria Pedritos
Located on Jefferson, the comment suggesting that Pedritos is superior got several thumbs up.
La Banqueta
While this spot is not located in Oak Cliff, I saw it mentioned a couple of times. If you’re willing to drive to east Dallas or Arlington, this spot offers an “authentic taste of Mexico” and “the best tacos in town,” according to their website.
La Paisanita
On Davis, this spot’s taco plate with rice and beans “always hits,” according to one of our commenters.
Don Taco
The last spot I came across in the comments and shares was Don Taco Mexican Food on Cockrell Hill. They also advertise themselves as having “the best tacos in town.”
