I seriously believe I have found the best taco place in the state. Ok ok maybe in Dallas. But I am talking phenomenal. The Taco Joint at 911 N. Peak in Dallas is that place. Located in a small strip mall the place doesn't look like much from the outside... but then these seem to be the best places to grub. I went for lunch this past week and left with the biggest smile on my face and a stuffed belly.... what can I say I couldn't stop! The place was packed... with only 11 tables and a counter along the windows... people were everywhere and standing waiting for others to get up. When entering you are greeted by a large mural on the wall of various Dallas sites... and black and white photos of what I am assuming are customers. (let's just say I WANT to be on that wall!!)
The line wound to the door and just looking around at all the baskets of food I knew choosing would be a challenge. And the prices... extremely reasonable... nothing over $7.00... I can totally handle this. When I finally got to the counter to order I was still at a loss as to what to order. So I asked..."Should I get soft tacos or hard?" The response "Both. The Lester Plate" Of course this is what I ordered then after I revealed that this was my first time I was handed a poker chip to redeem a free queso. You always win with free food and by recognizing a new customer. The queso was delicious... just enough flavor and the salsa was great too. I couldn't wait to get my food.
When they called my name this is the deliciousness that I picked up from the counter. The Lester Taco is "A warm, soft flour tortilla layered with refried beans then folded around a crispy corn shell filled with ground sirloin and then topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese". Let me just say, this is no double decker from Taco Bell. Just look at it the picture speaks for itself. I also had a little taste of the brisket tacos... they were also amazing.
Taco Joint also serves breakfast tacos... one of my favorite things to eat and which I will definitely be going back to partake in. Their website http://thetacojoint.com tells how the place got started... though it is a little unbelievable, though hilarious. :) If you're hungry and feel like eating some delicious tacos this is where you should go... if you need someone to go with you... I'm your girl!
