Jefferson Boulevard in Oak Cliff is the best taco street in DFW. You can walk a mile stretch and hit 8+ taco spots. Here is the crawl I take friends on.
The route (south to north on Jefferson):
Stop 1: La Banqueta (Jefferson near Beckley)
- Start here. Cabeza taco and a horchata. $5 total.
Stop 2: El Come Taco (Jefferson near Zang)
- Slightly more upscale. The rajas con crema taco is vegetarian perfection.
Stop 3: Taqueria El Si Hay (Jefferson near Tyler)
- Birria tacos. Get the consomme. Weekend only.
Stop 4: Maroches Bakery (Jefferson near Madison)
- Paletas and pan dulce break. You need a breather between taco stops.
Stop 5: Random taco truck (varies, check the corner of Jefferson and Zang)
- There is always a truck here on weekends. Whatever they are serving, get it.
Tips:
- Go on a Saturday morning between 9-11 AM
- Bring cash. Half these places are cash only.
- Parking: street parking on Jefferson or the lots behind the shops
- Walk it. The whole stretch is under a mile.
- Bring a friend. You want to split tacos so you can hit every stop.
Source: I have done this crawl 12+ times since 2024. It has never disappointed.
Anyone else have a taco crawl route? Drop it below.
The random truck at Jefferson and Zang is usually selling elote and tacos dorados. Both are incredible.
