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.
Oak Cliff is the most underrated food neighborhood in DFW and it is not close. While everyone fights for reservations in Uptown, we are eating better food for a quarter of the price.
