La Hacienda Chichen – Itza

BEST TACOS! And conchas! Good price and very friendly people. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommended, came here randomly, from SF, fantastic service, fantastic tacos… Wish i could come back

Tasty and NOT GREASY! The real deal!!! My two buddies and I were all impressed. Hole in the wall perfection. Real street tacos but let me emphasize NOT GREASY! BUT DELICIOUS! Get in here!

The best food is often found at unexpected, hole-​in-​the-​wall places and this is one place that proves this dining maxim. It’s a simple, authentic panaderia serving tortas y tacos and little else in a standalone building behind a 7 – 11 on lower Greenville Avenue. Interior is basic with a few tables and Mexican murals, counter service only.
The menu is basic beyond basic: eight to ten varieties of tortas listed on the chalkboard menu mirrored with the same or similar choices for tacos, plus a few a la carte sides. Ordered the Torta Milanesa with a side of chips and salsa and a Mexican soda. The torta was perfect, a freshly fried crisp pork cutlet in a thin sandwich on freshly baked white bread that was large enough for two servings. The salsa was actually more of a chunky pico de gallo with freshly fried tortilla chips, with both red and green sauces provided from squeeze bottles.
The other part of their business is the bakery selling Mexican cookies and pastries. Looked like a good selection in the display case, will have to try some next time. About the only downside to this place is the lack of a website showing what they provide in more detail for those of us largely unfamiliar with each item.
Great food for a great price, especially for the quantity and freshness. Nothing too fancy, only a single staff member running orders and busing tables while some cable movie played on the television. Tables and chairs out front for patio dining that no one ever uses, and the place isn’t open late. Always passed by but never stopped to try it, and now I’m hooked.

WOW… my wife surprised me with dinner for our daughter’s football game as I drive the band truck full of instruments and I am always low on fuel when I get to the stadium. I told her to surprise me and she got us both chicken tortas from here. The chicken was cooked to order while she waited… she said it took a bit longer than normal… but man, was it worth it! These things were Mexican Subs… they were so big I could only eat ½ at my first sitting. We put the other ½’s in the fridge and I ate mine 2 days later… and it was even better! Still tasted fresh and filled my tummy!

Repeat after me: hole in the wall restaurants have the best food.

I had myself an amazing, super cheap lunch here. Had three tacos (they’re ALL good), a big Mexican Coca-​Cola, and bought a big bag of pastries to go (the bag of two cookies and a chocolate shell pastry was 88 cents!) to eat later.
The pink cookies taste like my Puerto Rican childhood. I know this place is Mexican, but it still tastes like the cookies my grandmother would give my cousins and I when I was a kid.
Everyone there was super friendly (owner, his wife in the back, and son in the front) and there were Mexican telenovelas on in the background. I felt like I was at someone’s home, that’s how friendly and cozy it is.

The tacos were fresh and delicious. Tried the chicken and al pastor. First time here but will be returning.

This place rules! authentic, tasty Mexican food. The tortas are where it’s at! I am currently trying a different one with each visit. I have not been let down yet. The pastries are also good if you have a sweet tooth. It’s a mellow sit down spot but also good to go.
PLUS from time to time you can catch great shows featuring local and traveling artists, usually punk and metal bands. So if you are looking for some rocking food and a rocking good time check this place out.

The BEST tacos! Love these guys. The flavors are incredible & a great Mexican bakery too! Plus when I want to explore my palate, they always help me :)

Great authentic food, it its the taste of mexico you wan then ignore all these chain restaurants and stop by this place, you can’t miss the building from the outside. Inside its very minimal but this is what its about as long as the food is great which it is.
A torta the size it should be at a great price.

Nice Mexican tortas and tacos shop. I tried the cochinita (slow-​cooked pulled pork), the alpastor (crispy bits of lamb?), and the milanesa (fried chicken cutlet) tacos. The tacos were simple but the meats were well cooked and tasty. For $ 2 a taco, it’s a great deal.

Oooooo the chichen chicken!
Super friendly spot behind the 7 – 11 on Greenville. Been there seemingly forever. Large dining room, friendly counter staff and quality food. Huge tortas, and the tacos aren’t too shabby for $ 2.50 a piece. They even offer the choice of flour or corn tortillas for those of us who are not really into corn tortillas. The chicken was cooked well and of good quality. Tacos come with onions, cilantro, and lime wedges, as well as two types of salsa. Couldn’t figure out which salsa was spicier, but both had nice authentic flavor. One was green, one red. Their to-​go containers make it easy to split up an order between friends to eat at a bar down the block, or you can dine in. Food comes out super fast as well, so if you’ve just robbed a bank or something you can probably get in and out before the cops show up.

Had the Milanese Torta and a raspberry filled pastry for lunch today. The torta was pretty good, but I think I’ll go with the pastor next time. The pastry was awesome, and only 60 cents! Definitely going back!

Best torta in town! Its a bakery as well, so the torta bread was buttery and perfectly toasted, not falling apart from dryness. I had the hawaiian torta with pinapple. We thought 6 tacos would be a small meal, but turns out they are twice as regular street tacos. And we ate like kings.

Loved it. Every part of it. The have cochinita which is a yucatan favorite… the best part about this place is that they carry pickled red onions, which is often used in the cochinita. I asked for extra to put on my steak tacos as well. My first 2 tacos were the cochinita and the steak. The steak was so good that I ordered 2 more. I had 4 tacos, two sweetbreads and a espresso w milk for 11 dollars. What a deal. The steak tacos are ace. They also have free wi fi and very friendly service. Tacos were 2 dollars but larger than your average «street taco»

I wish this place stayed open late. It’s east Dallas legit. I always get them to go .but it reminds you of being in someone’s kitchen. Don’t pass this place up if you’re close.

How cool is this place? I mean the name alone is genius, It stirs up the idea of the famous monument, as well as a pun, «kitchen eat-​za.»
Awesome place for an unpretentious date.
I have been coming to this place for years, and for good reason.
When I walk in I expect exactly what I get, a genuine taqueria experience.
I always feel like I’m back in south texas when I come.
Great, freshly cooked and delicious Mexican food.
Not to mention the ridiculously tasty Pan Dulce (sweet bread) selection.
I feel its a heresy no one has mentioned it thus far, its always baked fresh in house, and they do it up right, all the classics are there: maranitos, conchas, polvitos.
But they even had some I hadn’t seen since I lived down south.
On a personal note, the term «street taco» keeps getting thrown around, but I’m not sure I fully understand why.
This is an enclosed establishment with tables and friendly service.
Not a dusty street corner in Mexico, but it seems to be the american thing to give different things buzz words so they can sound hip and young.
Mexican food is poor people food, It’s not «gourmet», it’s «get through the day.»
This place is authentic a Mexican experience as you’re gonna get, without waking up with a scorpion in your boots.

This is my favorite torta in the area. Its inexpensive, delicious and served with a smile. This is not the place for someone looking for over the top service or décor, just home style cooking. Breakfast plates are bomb dot com as well, but then again, I usually get a loaded Torta Al Pastor (pork).

I read the review for this place and was a little apprehensive. But after trying it, I was extremely pleased. The street tacos are fantastic and very authentic. The place seems a little sketchy from the outside, but I promise you it is worth it. Pricing is very fair, atmosphere is very laid back, and the staff is friendly. I will definitely be a return customer.

Hmmm. I went in around 11:30am. I thought about getting a breakfast taco, but they told me they serve them all day. So I went with lunch instead and thought I’d try breakfast another time since I had already had that meal. for the day. I ordered a pastor taco and it was not at all what I expected from my abundance of taco experiences. They asked if I wanted everything. Of course I replied yes assuming this would be the standard taqueria taco with the basics of cilantro and onion with a side of salsa and a lime wedge. Not so much.
So here’s what I got:
1. A large flour tortilla — not that big of a deal to me
2. Sour cream on top — I like sour cream, but not on a street taco
3. Pico de gallo — fine, not what I’m used to again, but okay I guess
4. A smidgeon of red onion — okay, I can deal but need more
5. Tid bits of cilantro — I need much more, with some white onion!
6. No lime wedge at all — Completely Unacceptable!
7. Shredded cheddar cheese — No, not with this even though I love cheese!
The sad thing is that this was some good Pastor that was ruined by all of this junk. There was too much competition with all of the wrong ingredients screwing up my taco. The meat was better by itself. It tasted kinda like a soft taco from the Bell but with real meat. No big deal since it was 2 dollars. I don’t want my 2 dollars back, but it’s a crying shame this place looks like a taqueria, smells like a taqueria, but it doesn’t taste like a taqueria. It was all wrong. This is one reason I usually don’t order a lot at Taquerias the first time around so I can test the waters before I become a regular patron. If the pastor isn’t good then I don’t trust the beef options.
It didn’t help that I saw one of those baby cockroaches on the counter after I got my food and had eaten ¼ of it. If I lived in BFE I’d probably give them another chance, but this will be it for me with too many other options nearby that I love. I know there are bugs in many kitchens, but I don’t need to see them. I didn’t finish my soft taco and said gracias, hasta luego.
They were very nice, so I can give them a 1 and ½ star with an E for effort. Now we just need and E for Exterminator. I just wish that when I pointed out the bug, the guy behind the counter would have at least pretended to be shocked and killed it rather than just brushing it on the floor like it was no big deal. So, back to Hmmmm ;)
Sometimes it’s better to stick with what you know. Taquerias can be risky, and that’s part of the cheap fun, but you might wanna skip this one! By the way, I was the only person in the place.
