TACO LOCO @ ACAPULQUENA

2706 Samuell Blvd
DALLAS, TX 75223
(214) 828-0509

Specialties: TACQUERIA, TACOS, LATE NIGHT

Not as well known as some other Dallas area taquerias, El Taco Loco is a true taco lovers paradise. Open only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights from 5pm to 4am, these guys know how to do tacos right (see pic of yummy al pastor meat roasting on a pit for details). Attached to the Acapulcanea restaurant near I-30 and East Grand, you can spot this tacqueria by the line of people out front if its late at night or its glowing neon yellow and green sign. The taco choices are really simple: fajita, barbacoa, al pastor, chicharonnes, and lengua (that’s tongue for you non-Spanish speakers). And at a buck ‘fity a pop you can eat four or five at a time. That may sound like a lot of tacos at one sitting, but these tacos are weirdly light. Seriously, I’ve never eaten so many tacos and felt so good afterwards. In my humble opinion, the al pastor are the best choice, with the barbacoa close behind.

JOHN'S CAFE

2724 Greenville Ave
DALLAS, TX 75206
(214) 874-0800

Specialties: BREAKFAST, HAMBURGERS, PATTY MELTS

“Just Good Food.” It’s been the motto of John’s Café since the Lower Greenville restaurant first opened in 1973. After being forced out of their old location to make way for a new bank, John’s has returned to Lower Greenville once again. Still the neighborhood’s number one weekend breakfast spot, the café’s breakfast special is arguably one of the best deals in Dallas. Only a stone’s throw from downtown, John’s Café also draws crowds of policemen, professionals, and old timers during the lunch hours. These folks flood the tables to grab the daily specials, patty melts and of course…hamburgers.
