Love this place! Such a fun vibe and the tacos are phenomenal. Fresh made flour tortillas (love that they’re not too thick either). Every taco I’ve tried has been delicious. They also offer really yummy margaritas. The veg focused tacos are also fantastic, which could be boring and basic but they are def not that; they are vibrant and flavorful. The bodega style BEC sandwich is also really good (makes me miss nyc)
Flavors and creativity of tacos and guacamole are top-notch and stand out in a field of tacquerias where it's hard to be "special". They nail it. Servers very friendly and hospitable. Happy that I discovered this place on move-in day, it will be a staple for me.
This place is one of my very favorites in Dallas. I come with friends. I come with family. I crave it and drive over here even now that I live outside of Lake Highlands. Tacos are amazing! Love all the veggie options that taste so good! Really creative combinations. Staff is friendly and welcoming to all. Atmosphere is relaxed and fun! 5 stars!
Multiple visits. Love these tacos and sides. Not your run of the mill tacos. It’s like a farm to market foodie taco. Flavor explosion, well executed. Pricy, as tacos go, but these are not your average taco.
The only issue I had was how small the restaurant is. Counter ordering for service. So small you should be prepared to wait, outside, as there’s only enough room for a couple people and you’ll be asked to step outside. Then you may have to wait to get a table after receiving your food. Even with this hassle I’ll go. Tacos are damn good.
Cute little family owned restaurant! I just wish they weren’t closed all the time. (Mondays and sundays, which unfortunately for me are usually the only days of the week I’m ever in that part of town. 😣) And before anyone says anything, these are NOT authentic tacos! They are definitely inspired by other cuisines/fusion tacos, but they actually pull it off very well which is the reason why I keep coming back. (If they’re open lol) Their homemade aqua Fresca and salsas are always good and fresh. My favorite tacos are the cauliflower and pork belly. Oh how I miss the good old days when I only lived just a few mins away. 😭
Update: I could eat here every week and not get bored. The flavour profile of each taco is sophisticated with each bite being delectable and the housemade tortillas stand up to the generous fillings, never crumbling in your hand. From the perfectly cooked shrimp, to the toasted pepitas, not a single ingredient is overlooked. Today I tried the new duck breast which had exquisite crispy skin, my favourite escargot, the tempura shrimp, the magnificent mushroom and the ever popular paneer with a subtle kick. As always the margarita and service was top notch.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars everytime !!
What ! Escargot tacos with a delicious garlic butter flavour ! Who would have thought ! Also tried the duck breast, fish, shrimp, and paneer options. All were unique in taste and preparation. Taco chips are freshly made as was the guacamole. Cucumber margarita was also spot on. Staff are all friendly and super helpful when you order.
Resident Taco is a great place to get a spin on a classic dish. The sheer variety of different flavors offered on the menu makes every stop in a different experience. I sampled a few of their tacos and I'll say that I enjoyed eveey bite. I'll be back in the future.
This place is great, really close to a 5. Their tacos are unique, sides are tasty and cocktails are perfectly balanced. Staff is so, so nice.
The cauliflower in the cauliflower and kale tacos was not cut small enough and made it really hard to eat - but it was still so good.
Pork shoulder was too sweet for me, it needed a heavier/smokies salsa or sauce to balance out the grilled pineapple. The tempura mix they use is slightly too thick, but was overall very good.
The mushroom and poblano taco was amazing. Both cooked to perfection with a lighter than expected queso sauce.
Roasted tomato soup - great smoky flavor
Guacamole - sweet peas and sunflower seeds are a great twist
Salsas - great flavors. But put them in bottles!! The tiny cups are really annoying.
Tacos are between $4-$5 now. They are the small street tacos. The flavors were good but could be more pronounced with their own sauce...ie. short rib taco had a cinnamon flavor but would have benefited with the sauce it was cooked in....the pork belly meat was a little dry. Could have had more fat and the same....the flavor was good just more of it. Loved the fillings, pickled onions, cilantro, scallions....the smoky side sauce was good.
Amazing tacos, such good flavors. We had vegetarian and vegan options (hard to find sometimes) and these were phenomenal. Slow cooked mushroom! Cauliflower and kale! Brussel sprout special! Cooked perfectly!
