I first ate Pacheco Taco n Burger as a pop up at the Oak Cliff cafe Everyday Works on a whim in early 2023. Fast forward a year to visiting their brick and mortar location in an unassuming Grand Prairie gas station, and I could not be more pleased at what I saw: word of mouth had clearly propelled them to new heights as the line was wrapped around the shop and nearly out the door!
It took about an hour during Saturday lunch rush to order and get our meal which normally would have deterred me, but due to the quality of Pacheco’s food I’d say it’s worth the wait, or simply come at a less busy time. I also can't fault them for growing pains due to their well deserved success.
As for the food, we got double smash burgers, asada fries, and barbacoa tacos, cue review:
The double smash burger was the ultimate beef experience. I truly don't know a smash burger I like better in the metroplex off the top of my head, or really anywhere for that matter. The buns were warm, bordering hot, soft but not greasy, and perfectly toasted in between. The well-seasoned patties had equal crisping and full texture around the edges with juicy insides, and were piping hot. The cheese melt was textbook execution and I really couldn't ask for more - it seemed like they layered the cheese on the fry sauce to give it an almost liquid-like texture. Finally, vegetation (lettuce) was crisp and very finely chopped, present yet not overstated, and the pickles were finely diced and mixed with the sauce. All in all I would say this is as close as you can get to a perfect burger.
The asada fries were slightly expensive at $15 but I would say worth it as a splurge or if you haven't had them. Pacheco wisely utilizes thin McDonalds-style fries with a good cook on them to maintain crispiness even when loaded up with a mountain of asada chunks, sour cream, fry sauce, and salsa verde. They were also seasoned to perfection and stood out on their own.
Honorable mention to the barbacoa taco which is a strong contributor on its own - I would probably have Pacheco on my radar even if they only served tacos, it was that good.
I am excited for the future of this business and hope they can expand their...

Read moreDon’t walk run and get here to Pacheco Taco and Burgers now!! When I say they have one of the best smash-style burgers you can find here in the Dallas Metro area, they’re up there! I ordered the Texas Sun Burger it’s loaded with flavor, fresh grilled onions, and a little spice (not too spicy). It’s topped with their house “heat sauce,” which has the perfect amount of flavor, and the Swiss cheese was melted to perfection!
Freshly cut French fries nice and thick, so delicious I double-dipped mine in ketchup and ranch! I was greeted and served by Jenni shoutout to Jenni because she’s amazing and steered me in the right direction.
I used to love Barbacoa; however, after several inconsistencies from different providers outside of this food chain, I’d drifted away from my love of it. So here I am today giving it another try! I squeezed a fresh lime all over my Barbacoa and took the biggest bite I could and wow! I’ll definitely be back here again. I’m almost certain I’ll order the same thing at some point or another. Definitely give this place a try these Barbacoa tacos are not only inexpensive (two for six dollars plus tax), but they’re seriously good.
I want to give a special thank-you to the kitchen staff — Lead Chef Adan Pacheco and the assistant cooks Deonta (Tae) and Artees! Their attention to detail and the way they handle each order with the same amount of energy, care, and flavor is unmatched. I can’t express it enough you guys have an awesome team, and I pray you never waver from what...
