Came to Tacodeli for lunch on Sunday with a large group of friends after church; this new location had just opened and it was sold to us as a "less greasy" version of Torchy's Tacos, so of course we had to come try it out.
There's a huge variety of tacos, and I was planning to order two, but couldn't choose between my final three so ended up just getting three instead: 1) their special of the moment, which was the akaushi chilled tenderloin taco with chile-forward portobello mole, queso fresco, green onion, and sesame seeds, 2) their Sunday special with no cilantro, which was the barbacoa with salsa de arbol, onion, and avocado, and 3) their carne asada taco with no cilantro, which came with grilled ribeye, avocado, onion, and a couple lime wedges.
The barbacoa was definitely my favorite of the three! Flavorful and juicy, with a little kick to it. Their chilled tenderloin taco was definitely interesting, but I'm not sure if I would get it again. I wasn't too into the flavor combination there. And the carne asada's meat was good but came out pretty lukewarm even though it wasn't a specifically chilled taco -- it was also pretty dry.
One of the people at our table got the queso, which was pretty mediocre, kind of watery and not super flavorful. I'd be interested in trying some of the other tacos on the menu (and the salads, actually -- a friend ordered the ensalada aguacate and they gave him an ENTIRE avocado in the salad) but honestly speaking other taco places in the metroplex are probably more worth your time.
