Description

Since 2001, Santiago Peña and his employees have been faithfully serving the hungover masses and breakfast-taco fanatics. The spongy homemade flour tortillas are great for sopping up the overflow sauce from the filling, while the sweet corn tortillas are strong enough not to crack under the weight of these hefty tacos, like the number one seller: El Santiago, a carne guisada taco with potatoes, sliced onion, avocado and diced tomatoes in a huge tortilla. This bare-bones stand-alone building also has a wood-plank rooftop deck. On the deck customers enjoy views of downtown while trying to consume more than one of Peña's tacos. However, if tacos and handmade tamales aren't your thing, the menu does include a "Gringo" section.

    A seismic wiggler is rippling through Deep Ellum. Not enough to crack the streets, but maybe enough to rustle the nose jewelry. Over the summer, the space once home to Mel's on Main reopened as Main St. Sports Bar, a haunt that serves wings and... More »

    We Oui Warp

    The Crescent Court carcass of Phil Romano's We Oui, his casual restaurant that was a little bit French and a little bit slutty, is poised to morph into an upscale casual New Orleans grubbery called Gumbo's. But first the new concept owners,... More »

    So this may not be what she thought when you told her "dinner and dancing." But with prices like this, you can afford to buy her flowers, too. Dining al fresco, as is the situation at Taco Loco, is always exciting, especially on a bustling Deep Ellum street. Taco Loco offers 17 kinds of tacos, including a few vegetarian choices, all priced at less than four dollars. Other dishes--tamales, enchiladas, fries, desserts--round out the menu, plus it's open all night on Friday and Saturday. And... More »
