" Taqueria El Paisano is one of those hidden gems in Dallas, a top choice for authentic tacos and late-night cravings. I highly recommend the al pastor tacos—full of flavor and definitely a dish that showcases their authentic Mexican cuisine. The salsa served with chips has perfect heat! My dining experience was pleasant aside from a minor hiccup in service, as the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Still, it’s a must-try place! Just be prepared to bring cash as they don’t accept cards. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very mixed experience here. The tacos I ordered were good, no doubt. I loved the spicy salsa, but the service left a lot to be desired. I stood at the front for nearly 10 minutes without any acknowledgment before being seated. It’s worth mentioning that the cleanliness of the restaurant could definitely improve. I understand the authenticity angle, but it just doesn’t feel right when the place looks neglected. Still, I’d recommend it for the food alone if you can overlook the issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively across Mexico, I can confidently say that Taqueria El Paisano is one of the gems of Dallas. Their tacos are packed with authentic flavors, reminiscent of the street food I enjoyed while visiting Mexico City. The salsas have just the right amount of spice, and I appreciate that they serve complimentary chips before your meal. The atmosphere is lively, perfect for anyone craving a late-night bite. It's become my go-to place every time I'm in town. Just remember, it's cash only—bring some cash for the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty solid experience at Taqueria El Paisano recently! I loved the varied menu options and decided to try out their barbacoa tacos. They were flavorful, but I found the tortillas a bit thick for my liking. Service was prompt, which was nice, but the interior could be spiffed up a bit for a better vibe. Totally loved the complimentary chips and salsa to start off! Overall a nice experience with good food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a must-visit for taco lovers! I ordered the fajitas and they were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning. The portion size was generous, and it felt like a real feast. The complimentary chips with spicy salsa were a great starter. Be prepared for cash only, though. I took my friends with me and we had such a good time that I plan on being a regular. The laid-back atmosphere makes it a great hangout spot too. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not gonna lie, I was somewhat disappointed on my recent visit to Taqueria El Paisano. The place was buzzing with energy, but I found the cleanliness lacking. Taco portions were decent, especially for the price—but my barbacoa was on the dry side. Lots of hype but it fell short for me this time. Service wasn’t terrible, but it felt isolated with limited interaction. I might give it another shot down the road, but I wouldn't rush back immediately. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Taqueria El Paisano after hearing about it on social media from friends who swear by their tacos. I ordered both the al pastor and barbacoa tacos. While the al pastor was flavorful and juicy, the barbacoa was a bit disappointing. It had more of a brisket vibe and tasted reheated. The service was okay, but I felt rushed since they were at capacity when I arrived. I guess if you’re looking for a quick bite after hours, this place suits the bill, but just know that not every visit may meet your expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
