Tacos Cantu

At this 8-year-old spot on the east side, breakfast tacos come with an optional side of “unleaded.” Housed inside a Shell gas station, Tacos Cantu is the handiwork of husband-wife team Cadreyta and Jose Cantu, who spend more time preparing the food of their Nuevo León homeland than making sure you have a comfy place to sit. If one of the few stools isn't available, feel free to eat off the cases of beer stacked up in back. Breakfast tacos are made with corn tortillas, and they're sheer delights. Made in-house, they're outlined in crispy edges and cradle fluffy scrambled eggs and your choice of bacon, ham, chorizo, barbacoa and sausage. Our go-to is the machaca, beef shredded so finely, it practically dissolves at the touch of your tongue. 

Good to know: There’s a second location in Dallas, in a standalone building, at 2507 S. Lancaster Road.
