With taquerías on the brain, DeepUpYourEllum and I had to hit up a new gastro adventure. El Rincon De Villa, located on the corner of Greenville and Park ln., offers the menu selection of a taquería with the environment of a sit-down restaurant. Its (Poncho Villa) themed decor was clever and unique. Though I can not testify for the cow-tongue taco, my usual pastors and barbicoas were quite satisfying.

In contrast to La Michoacana, I just couldn’t buy into the whole experience. El Rincon was just in limbo somewhere  between fancy and grass roots. The prices were a bit harsh (fresh oj for $5, no refills) and the atmosphere quite dreary. I liked the hustle and bustle of the market that La Michoacana provided.

VS.

Coming off a fresh win, La Michoacana stands victorious once again, reigning (thus far) as the best taquería in Dallas. Prove me wrong.

Being from Texas, the best Tex-Mex I’ve ever had has been on street corners. Similar to the mobile sno-cone trailers, these mini buildings on wheels are choice for enjoying a wide variety of tacos, tortas, burritos, etc.  Less overhead, one or two employees, the costs saved is carried on to us, making everything on the menu extremely affordable. Since moving to Dallas, I have yet to encounter a prized local establishment.

Since my last taquería review I have been to a couple others including La Michocana. Located on Greenville and Blackwell, this meat market offers a wide variety of assorted Mexican eats. I didn’t get a chance to peruse their produce as much, but I can attest that their tacos are fabulosos. At under $2 each, it’s hard to deny the mouthful of awesome for such a sweet price.

Though La Paloma made a good showing,  I just wasn’t feeling their CMYK makeover on the gas station that was once there. Inconvenient vehicle access also makes it quite a battle predicting when to exit 75.

With ample menu selections and a full mercado to culturally explore in, the choice is oh so fácil. La Michocana for the win.
