Taqueria El Si Hay

The best tacos and corn you will find in the entire city of Dallas. The competition does not even come close to this powerhouse of a taco stand. This place is a must have and a go to spot if you want the absolute, hands down, best tacos in the city.

The best tacos and made to order elote that is delicious, everything is insanely fresh, flavorful and overall incredible. Only thing that would make it just a tad better( that last 0.5) was if the tortillas were made fresh to order but honestly in the little shack there is no space to do such, so they make do. 9.5/10. Recommend the elote on the side of the building and the green salsa which is more flavorful than being spicy, red if you are a fan of spicy. Can’t go wrong with any of the tacos. Staff is very friendly, but it’s just a shack with no seating and parking is sometimes difficult when it gets busy

THIS IS A MUST WHEN IN DALLAS! Tacos were absolutely PERFECT! Tortillas freshly made, both corn and wheat, attention was perfect, great pricing and great filling, ELOTE was absolutely DELICIOUS! Best tacos we’ve ever had! Long line because everyone knows how great this place is, but service was very QUICK!

Heads up — it’s CASH ONLY! I live nearby and come here often. Weekdays are definitely the best time to visit—shorter lines and the food always seems fresher and even better quality. Prices are super reasonable (around $16 for 6 tacos), and the portions are solid. I usually get the chicken fajita, beef fajita, and lengua tacos—all flavorful and satisfying. They come with lime and sauces, and the green sauce is my absolute favorite! The person taking orders is consistently friendly, patient, and attentive, which adds to the charm. Occasionally, they have an elote stand too. I’ve tried it twice—not my favorite, but it’s a fun option to have on the side. Not sure why there are negative reviews. If you’re expecting “5-star service” and fancy ambiance, this may not be your spot. But if you appreciate authentic, delicious tacos from a local gem, you’ll love it here.

I first came to this small stall 8 years ago and had the elotes. It was delicious and full of flavor. The corn was fresh. Came back here again 8 years later and it's still just as good. Simple limited choices but executed perfectly. Highly recommend.

I was told that I needed to come try these tacos and they didn't disappoint. They packed a lot of flavor. The green sauce is subtle while the red sauce was spicy! I would come back here if I'm in the mood for tacos but please be aware that you must have cash on hand.

Taqueria El Si Hay in Dallas, Texas, serves up some of the best street tacos I’ve ever had. The meat was incredibly tender, and the homemade corn tortillas were nothing short of amazing—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the tacos.We also tried the street corn, and it was remarkable. The combination of flavors was spot on, making it a must-try if you visit.However, be prepared for a bit of a wait. The place can get quite busy, and parking is limited—we waited about 50 minutes for our food. But trust me, it was absolutely worth it. The quality of the food more than makes up for the wait time.If you're in Dallas and craving authentic street tacos, Taqueria El Si Hay is definitely the spot to check out.

Great flavor in the meats, flavorful salsas (I love the green!), and food tortillas. Some of the best street tacos in Dallas.

Finally got the chance to visit Taqueria El Si Hay and all I can say is YES YES YES! Not only were my expectations high but they were exceeded! The size of the tacos were very large, way larger than I expected for a typical street taco. The establishment is small and walk up style. We also got our food very quickly. We got to try the bistec, chorizo, and barbacoa and they were amazing! The perfect lunch! We will definitely be back!

Food still good but a 3 star rating due to presentation Hardly any meat on tacos! My family grandparents parents uncles have all been coming here for years since I can remember This used to be our go to spot. The long wait didn't matter because it was worth the flavor However, unfortunately, we have noticed the tortilla isn't cooked properly also they hardly put any meat on the tac anymore considering the price increase Don't get me wrong again the flavor is there. I just hope that they read this and don't take it the wrong way Great job on the years of success guys!

This little taco spot has quickly become my favorite in the area. It's just a small stand that looks about 100 sq ft., but they are pumping out good food. Limited menu of tacos (Al pastor, barbacoa, lengue, etc) and drinks (agua Frescas and Jarritos). Topping choices are onion, cilantro and a salsa. Cash only, and they don't have an ATM, so come prepared! You're outside to wait for your food and there's no seating so park close by so you can wait in your car for your order. I ordered a sampling of different tacos with the green salsa. Everything was fire, meat very flavorful. The barbacoa and al pastor were my favorite bites and the salsa made it even better.

First off this place accepts cash only! The tacos are delicious. I tried the chicken, carne asada and fajita. My favorite two were the carne asada and fajita.

Excellent!!!! From the tacos to the horchata. 10/10! It is cash only! ATM inside gas station in the same lot. Super nice ladies! Got our food super quick.

Awesome local spot just around the corner from me in Bishop Arts! On a Monday it was busy but the line moved quickly! The food came fresh and delicious. No complaints about any of our food. The salsa that comes with the tacos was delicious (warning: the red is spicy). Can't beat this type of local joint! There is even an elote Cart on the side. Will definitely be returning frequently !

still fantastic, but I wouldn't say they are worth waiting in line for over 20 minutes. There are other taquerias around the surrounding area that would be quicker than waiting here. I was fortunate to have them at 3pm when there was no line. Inconvenient that its cash only, but maybe one day they will modernize? They gave me lemons instead of limes which was interesting, but still get the job done in acidity. The salsa is fresh and fairly spicy. The barbacoa and pastor I ordered both had a pronounced taste, and the flour tortilla was soft.

Ok but what in the Mexican tacos is this. Tacos are great!!!! Pastor was definitely my least favorite, does not taste like pastor and they are way too greasy. However, bistec and chorizo were SO SO good !!! Definitely going back. FYI... there's nowhere to sit down so you have to eat inside your car or Mexican style (standing)

The only reason I'm giving 1 star is to the elote man on the side. The tacos lack flavor and the meat was chewy not tender. Had to add salt and a ton salsa just to make them edible. Salsa wasn't good either. Don't let the long line fool you.

CASH ONLY! Good tacos located in a little stand with a long line at night. I tried the barbacoa, lengua, and fajita tacos. They don't include much else in the way of the toppings, so the meat really has to carry the flavor. The barbacoa and lengua were both juicy and tasted good, but the tacos just lacked a bit of complexity in flavor because it was mostly just meat (their spicy sauce is extremely hot and I would not recommend putting too much). The fajita meat was a little tough. The star of the show was the elote - an abuelo prepares them on a separate table from where you order the tacos, slices the corn kernels from the cob, and adds delicious cheesy cream and spicy tamarind(?) sauce that you then mix together. Finally, I had a large horchata (must have been 30oz or so) for $2.50. It was a little too sweet and not enough cinnamon/spice flavors, but for the price it's a great deal and good accompaniment to spicy salsa and elote.

I had heard great things about this Taco place and finally got to try it out! This place is anything but fancy. You'd miss it if you actually walked by. However, they have some of the best, traditional tacos in DFW. I come here always craving a pollo taco and the elotes. Great combo and you won't be disappointed. I don't eat much red meat, but the friends I have brought here also have raved about the tacos al pastor. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

Been going to this place for years, I'm telling you this is one of the best tacos pacers I ever been to. The fajitas is the best tacos they got. Sometimes they make really good lingua but it all depends on the time you go but this place is a must try

You've probably read about the wait, cash only, and that it's located far out in Oak Cliffe and you're wondering if it's worth it? Simple answer? Yes. The el pastor tacos are AMAZING. Such crisp. It's satiating to the taste buds and I would tell you 100 times over to come here and try a few tacos. I'm already planing on coming back.

This place NEVER misses! When there's a line around the back literally every day/all day, you know the food is delicious! Very authentic and you definitely get the bang for your buck! Highly recommend!

Over hyped no thanks I've given them multiple tries and havent been impressed. No flavor

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement... Long lines made me feel like I was in for a treat, but that wasn't the case. By the time I ordered, they were out of most meats. I ordered Fajita & Barbacoa, with onions & cilantro please! Unfortunately, both meats were pretty indistinguishable, & left more flavor to de desired. Gas stations sell better tacos!

I wanted to love this place! But unfortunately it missed the mark. I always see very long lines, that's a good sign right? We ordered our food/paid, waited 25-30 min for food to be ready, mouths salivating the entire time as it smelled delicious. They finally called my name as food was ready and packed up in to go boxes. Upon receiving my order, I am informed that eight of the tacos that we originally ordered, they ran out of that meat while making our tacos. So they took the liberty of changing our order from 8 Al Pastor to 8 Fajita, (we ordered 19 total tacos) without calling my name to ask or inform us that they had ran out, they just did it. Was I annoyed? Sure but I said "no problem, that's fine" and kept a smile on my face. We get home and start eating. The bistek and fajita tacos were S. A. L. T. Y! When I say salty, I mean extremely salty. So much they were inedible. The barbacoa tacos were good, hence why I'm giving 2 stars and not 1. Here's a photo of all the tacos that were left over. Maybe they had a bad night? That's what I'm hoping because the long lines sure don't paint a picture of people returning for their daily sodium intake. Likely won't return tho.

This is the ideal hole in the spot for bomb tacos and some fire elotes. There's an abundance of taco shops in the bishop arts area , but on this day I was looking for the one with a good crowd . The more people around it , must mean that the food must be slamming right?! So I took the chance and hopped for the best, and I made a great choice. There was a smaller line around the taco line than there was for the Elotes. After trying both I completely understand. Tacos were very good and shouldn't be downplayed at all. I opted for corn tortillas with beef, and chicken plus onions and cilantro. Good sized tacos and Authentic taste, made to order and meat wasn't dry or stale tasting. Elotes were made to order as well and the corn was very fresh. Great combination of flavors and pricing wasn't bad either. One cup of Elotes was 4 bucks and 4 tacos came out to be 11 dollars even. I most definitely will make a return to Davis street to get another serving !

Me encanta! I love this little taco building. Complete with Elote stand getting freshly boiled corn on the cob (he cuts it off the cob when you order. Awesome) There was a line Sunday night 8pm. It went by fast. We had someone make the taco line and someone make the Elote line separately. We took our order to a nearby bar that didn't sell food. The parking lot itself is small but there is lots of street parking even when busy. Overall great experience. The beef fajita was so good! Al pastor was good too. Chicken taco was sold out, but I was surprised both lengua and barbacoa (cheek) were available.

Pides tacos para llevar y te dan de lo ellos quieren pedí de lengua y eran de fajita verdura. Aparte y nada de verdura ponga un foco para que distingan entre lengua y fajita

Love this spot been going for some years now. Just be ready to pay with cash only and depending on the time of day, this spot can get packed with folks in line either waiting for their or or for to place their order

This place has some pretty cheap and good quality tacos. We went at night time on a Friday so there was a little line, but it moved pretty fast. I orders three tacos at $2.75 each. Lengua, Al pastor, and bistec. The lengua and Al pastor were fantastic. The bistec was pretty bland. Their horchata is also fantastic. We also got in line for the elote. That line moved a little slower but not bad. It's a pretty big cup of corn but it cost $4 per cup which was a little much for corn.

Good tacos that are worth it even though the line can be long especially during peak times, just wish they took credit card, apple/google pay. Only cash

Best Tacos and Elotes around!!! I moved out of the area but when im passing through I surely make it a point to stop!! You know there good when you see a line to order!! Elotes sell out so place your order as soon as he sets up!!

These tacos bussssssss! I had the Al pastor, fajita(beef fajita), and chicken fajita. Some places do not season their meat and leave the flavor to the cilantro, onion, and lime, but this place seasons their meat. The green salsa is flavorful. The red salsa is spicy. I would recommend only a few drops of the red in your tacos for nice kick. This place is a must try!

I love the food. It's amazing I recommend this place for everybody. Nice area, clean and good service.

Cash only, no frills, authentic tacos for $2 each. The lengua (tongue) had a great texture. For my taste, the al pastor was missing that flavorful sauce that the meat is usually cooked in at other places. 3 tacos ($6.25) came with one salsa, and I went with green since she said the red is super hot. Overall not bad, but I thought the flavor was a little lacking. Got here around noon on a Thurs, and it took 30 min from the time I got in line, until I picked up my food. Still recommended trying this place, if you have cash and time to wait!

While helping a friend move in just a few blocks away, we stumbled upon this place and what a great find it is! Everything is simple, made with few ingredients, on good, textured, rustic corn tacos. filled with fresh cilantro, dark meat chicken (or other proteins), and onions on request. That's it. And the price: $1.75 per taco! Amazing! Make this your go-to, freshly-made taco place. And, expect to wait in line. Your taste buds will thank you.

The best tacos in Oak Cliff for sure. The line is usually insane and it's a long wait but definitely worth it. We were only able to try the pollo y fajita y Barbacoa because they were out of the porks.

Babe wanted elotes...so I said "LET'S ROLL!" Now if I knew the line was gonna look like the 1st of the month at the WIC office I may of though twice about coming here. Ctfu...frfr. However the wait was well worth it as this was some quality elotes!!!

I am writing this review in their parking lot because it bothered me that much. I have came here before and experienced the same thing but I brushed it off. The food is good but the customer service is horrible. The lady at the front is very rude. She got my order wrong. I love my tacos on flour and once I got the order, I smelled corn. I checked and it was corn. I went back and told her I said flour and she told me I said corn. I saw her write down flour. I got 8 tacos and she gave me 1 red and 1 green sauce. I ordered for three people and when I asked her for an extra sauce, she wanted to charge me $0.75. I told her it's for three people and she basically said she doesn't care. Safe to say that I won't be going back. Also the tacos are $2.75. Not worth it

First time to eat here. Lived up to my expectations. Quality and great tasting tacos and salsa. Looking forward to making the trip back out there again.

Taqueria El Si Hay roughly translates to "Bussin Bussin Tacos" in english. If you don't believe me, go ahead use google translate. Don't get it twisted, It's a no-nonsense, walk up to the window, order, thne walk out culinary food sanctuary. In other words, a taco aficionado must. This Mexican taco joint located in the Oak Cliff / South Dallas border. Taqueria El Si Hay has a variety of meat options. The standout tacos for me are the al Pastor (Pork) and asada (Beef). I'm still on the quest to try their Chorizo (Spicy Pork). The tacos are $2.00 dollars a pop. The reason why these tacos are so tasty is because the tortillas are drenched in meat juices. The tacos are pretty big. They are served with onion and cilantro. The green salsa stand out for me. Yelp Tip: It's a cash only establishment with very limited parking. Don't be discouraged by the long line, these customers are there for the same reason. An epic taco at a very decent price.

Don't take cards or apple pay cash only business . Huge inconvenience because I really wanted to try this place

My family and I tried the chicken, steak and pork tacos. They were out of the chorizo. I were ok, the pork was the best. We are use to the street tacos from California, so there's a little bias. But definitely worth a try if your in the area. They only serve tacos and they only take cash.

Okay so your looking for a good authentic mexican taco. Well this is it, this little spot keeps the meat turning and its fresh. Yes there is a line but that only means its that good! I ordered three tacos de fajita with onion and cilantro. And lets not forget a coke! Bring your appetite while you wait grab you a corn in a cup. Five stars!

Best Tacos in the DFW area hands down, and we have tried our share of tacos. some other places come close but still not as good. Hubby has been going to this place since he was in HS long ago at Adamson. I prefer to go during the week before the lunch hour to avoid the huge lines. Oh, and they make them bigger now than before.

This was our first stop once we got in town for lunch on the way to our job site. When we arrived, it looked closed, but it was an off time a little before lunch hour. We looked in the window and realized they were open, so we decided to order a few tacos. We tried to order a mixture of all the meats, but some were not ready. We went with chorizo, bistek, fajita, and lengua. I got my tacos on corn tortillas while my coworker got them on flour tortillas. We looked around and found a single bench on the side of the taco stand to sit down. This place is definitely for take out primarily. They called our name after a few minutes and we had our tacos. They are cash only, so keep that in mind. We both dug in and found them to be good. They included a cup of red and green salsa with the tacos. Red was a bit spicy, but flavorful. We chowed down on our tacos and enjoyed our lunch. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and would stop for a taco if in the area.

These tacos were AMAZING! Totally worth the drive. Was a pretty short wait for a Saturday afternoon. Will be back for sure. And the horchata. Wow!

Very delicious tacos. Always hits the spot Freshly made. Sometimes they have a lot of people but the lines goes by fast is Worth the wait.

Long line for dry food, not what it use to be anymore. Waited 1 hour for a huge disappointment today, won't be back.

I've heard this place mentioned as best tacos in Dallas and I could definitely see that. I got barbaoca, Al pastor and lenguie in flower tortillas, I also tried some fajita. The fajita was just amazing, I don't even like fajita but it was so flavorful. The barbaoca was also very good and the other 2 tasted so good. The line wasn't nearly as long as I heard. I was very impressed and would definitely go back.

This taqueria is somewhat good, there was a very long line that wasn't advancing and there were many people waiting over time. They do not accept cards and it seems that they can improve both the movement of line by hiring more people such as: cashiers, cooks and runners to live faster. Also the Flavor was not as good as I thought. The tortillas were old and the salsa was not good either. We also bought three elotes which they were good but again there was a waiting factor that could of taken advantage.

Even in the pouring rain/freezing cold, there was a line of folks waiting to eat here! The tacos are authentic and good. I was somewhat disappointed the batbacoa wasn't more flavorful... And also bummed that the man who makes elite wasn't there... But overall, it was a good experience.

Great authentic tacos in Dallas! The fajita tacos with corn tortillas are my favorite. A lot of taco places don't give a ton of meat, but they do. Be sure to bring cash because that is all that is accepted!

My fiancé and I were in the area looking at a wedding venue and decided to stop by for some tacos. I've been to this place before but I couldn't remember if I liked it or not. I remembered that last time I was there that they had an elote stand but sadly because of Covid, it wasn't available There was a little bit of a wait before we got our tacos. We ordered fajita, al pastor, and barbacoa tacos. The flavors were good, the tacos were not greasy which I appreciate. The red and green salsas were not too spicy. I've had al pastor tacos elsewhere that had better flavor and added pineapples on top which I felt was lacking here. All in all we had a good experience.

This is nothing fancy . . . It's a stand - no table or seats, no drive thru . . . Just a stand where only CASH IS ACCEPTED. So now that we have gotten that out of the way, let me tell you about this hidden gem where they make bomb ass tacos. My first encounter was after a concert down the street and I asked someone where can I go grab something to eat from and I was told to come here. There were people are cars everywhere (pre COVID) and someone was playing music and folks were dancing in the parking lot while waiting for their tacos. We got our food and sat in the car and ate these wonderful tacos but I was like well that was after some drinking and I didn't want to think that I was overhyping them. So on another day (during COVID) I wanted tacos and decided to make a trip in the middle of the day. I took my partner with me and he was a little reluctant (he's bougie) but I told him don't let the look discourage you (and I'm telling you the same) - we ordered 6 fajita tacos that comes with onions, cilantro and limes along with salsa and headed back to the house. When we got home he dug in and oh how his attitude changed. They were just as delicious this time as they were last time. Now every time he wants tacos, this is his new go to place. So go give them a try . . . Remember to bring CASH!!!

Love their Tacos and the Street Corn. What I do not like is the ever increasing price of their tacos. I used to frequent this business because I could get a lot of Tacos cheap and feed my family. The tacos were $1.50 before COVID and now they're $2.75. I did not scoff when they raised the price to $2.00 because I felt it was still a value, however, I no longer frequent this business because the price has nearly doubled in the last 2 years and the food has gone unchanged.

we bought tacos on Friday afternoon 9/22. and we got really sick. one person got the runs aka diarrhea. the second person had to be admitted to the hospital and having vomiting fever and throwing up blood. something is not right. too many dirty hands. no gloves. person in hospital will have to undergo many procedures to make sure there's no damage done to the stomach. never again will I eat here.
