Best! Lunch! In! Dallas! Hands down, do not pass go do not collect 200. If you’re in downtown and it’s lunch time - go here. This is the best hole in the wall place. Everything about this place screams family, and community. Right down to the chef thinking each person for coming in and enjoying his food. The staff is incredible. The food is truly amazing. Thank you for a great experience for lunch today. Looking forward to coming back many more times.

Literally this is one of those hole in the wall gems. My wife and son ate here and it was some of the best food we’ve had. Chef_tastebudz don’t play either he makes sure them tacos were packed with great tasting seasoned meat and chicken. We had the lunch special and even took a Birria pizza to go. Definitely will be back soon. If you’re a foodie and wanna take some great pictures as well the atmosphere and food are great.

This was my husband and I first time visiting. It was a little chilly outside. However, it didn't stop the owners (of both businesses) and employees from personally greeting each and every one of us, and I was very impressed. It didn't take long at all, for us to order and get our food we ordered a pizza and tacos. While we waited on our food, we visited the gentleman's booth and got freshly squeezed lemonade drinks flavored with passion fruit and watermelon, and I added cucumber to mine for a little razzle dazzle lol. They are big drinks, they're refreshing and absolutely delicious. Now, back to the food lol the tacos were good, as expected. I never had a Birria Pizza before, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. It was sooooo freaking delicious. The meat chicken and beef were seasoned, and each layer was topped with some goodness. We will definitely be going back and trying something else from the menu. I highly recommend that you give them a try.

My friends and I are in town from Orlando and from the moment I walked up to this taco stand I knew we had struck gold. The food was delicious, portions were more than fair and set at a great price. (We had their lunch combos) The clerk at the register and the chef (assumed owner as well) were both incredibly kind and personable, I’d come back just to chop it up with chef even if the food had not been that good... HOWEVER much like the service, it was incredible! 10/10 we will be back before flying home. Much love from Orlando FL!

Chef Tastebudz is located on the corner of Jackson and Record street on the West side of Downtown Dallas just South of the West End district. The location is easy to access in an area with less traffic than most of the other areas of downtown. Ordering is easy with a sidewalk sign, menu at the ordering counter and friendly staff willing to offer suggestions. Seating is limited with a 4 chair bar. I am a fan of Birria tacos so that was my order for this visit. Birria tacos- crispy corn tortilla with plenty of beef birria meat and cheese with fresh chopped white onion a lime slice and cilantro on the side with salsa and beef consomme. The spices were great, the meat was soft and flavorful and the cheese was perfectly melted. Birria and chicken quesadilla- crispy flour tortillas stacked with meat, cheese, onion and cilantro inside with like slices and beef consomme on the side. This was similar to the taco but with soft stringy chicken. #dallastexas #dfw #tacos #dallastacos #birria #birriatacos #BirriaQuesadilla #cheftastebudz

I always have to hit this place when I am travelling through Dallas. The food is SO GOOD! Chef is a really nice guy and always grateful for the support! Very friendly staff and open late. Good portions and reasonable prices. Give this hidden gem a try. You will not regret it. Keep in mind that seating is outdoor tables, so I usually take it back to my hotel if it's too hot outside. Short walk from the convention center or Dealey Plaza.

This spot keeps it simple and gets it right. It’s a hole in the wall with just the right touch of character. This is what a taco shop should feel like. Skip the trendy places clearly designed to appeal to a specific Downtown Dallas crowd, and give this hidden gem a try instead.
