About This Spot
Stepping up to Tacos Cantú Dallas feels like finding a cherished neighborhood secret that’s been lovingly tended by hands that know their craft well. Nestled just off South Lancaster Road, this casual local eatery hums with a steady, easy rhythm — the kind where the day’s pace slows a notch and you’re invited to savor simple joys without fuss. The modest exterior hints at something quietly special inside: a spot where familiar aromas mingle with warm greetings and the steady flow of regulars feels like an unspoken welcome.
There’s an unpretentious comfort here, a gentle reminder of those small mom-and-pop places where the focus stays on the flavors that carry stories. Whether you’re dropping by early for a breakfast taco that hits the mark with just the right balance of spice and warmth, or visiting later to indulge in a plate packed with richly seasoned meats and freshly made tortillas, there’s a sincere feeling of homestyle care. Drinks like the bright and refreshing agua de melon or a cool cucumber lime agua fresca seem tailor-made to wash down everything with a hint of sunshine.
The way the staff moves—friendly, patient, and familiar—only deepens that sense of belonging. The spot’s everyday practicality, with options to walk up, drive through, or settle at a nearby picnic table, creates a laid-back vibe where everyone can find their own pace.

This is my go to for authentic tacos. I normally only go for breakfast burritos and breakfast tacos because it’s by my job. They don’t miss! 10/10 every single time. The green sauce is the perfect spice level for me and is delicious. The staff is always super friendly and sweet. It’s really a small mom and pop type of establishment and I think that’s what makes it so great to me. Love it here!

The food was delicious! I had fajita gorditas, it was flavorful, well packed gorditas. The rice was so moist and flavorful. I also got a Cucumber lime sting and I LOVED it, it has real pulp pieces and refreshing. This THE SPOT

This is our 2nd time here & we will be back!! This is definitely a hidden gem in Oak Cliff & glad we found it. Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. Homemade flour tortillas & the meat is well seasoned.

Really goood!!! I was worried because they didn't have what im used to. ( Single tacos) I got the taco plate and I was full before I finished... And finished anyway....I will be back. It's drive-through and walk up. They do have a picnic table area..

I usually order tacos or a taco salad with the green sauce and they always taste great! The agua frescas (cucumber lime is my fav flavor) tastes so fresh well. Love that there’s a drive-thru option because I don’t always want to stand outside to wait on the food. Will continue to be one of my go-to taco places.
