Diego’s Taqueria — Restaurant in Richardson

Diego’s Taqueria: A Mixed Experience That Falls Short of Expectations As a taco enthusiast, I was eager to try Diego’s Tacos, drawn by their promise of fresh, handmade tortillas. Unfortunately, my visit left much to be desired in terms of flavor and execution. I ordered two barbacoa tacos and three carne asada tacos. The barbacoa tacos were disappointingly greasy, with an overpowering oiliness that drowned out any depth of flavor. The seasoning was lackluster, lacking the rich, smoky complexity one expects from well-prepared barbacoa. The carne asada tacos fared slightly better, offering a passable taste, but they were unremarkable and failed to deliver the bold, savory punch characteristic of high-quality carne asada.

I shall be back...especially when it's down the street from my job. 😁 One more thing...this place is inside the gas store.⛽️ There is some seating if you prefer...

I’ve lived in Garland for almost two years and always drove by this spot—finally stopped in once and have been back three times since! The breakfast tacos are amazing, the service is fast and efficient, and the ladies working there are so kind. The habanero salsa is fire. My only critique would be that I wish they had homemade tortillas, but I get that’s not always easy—and honestly, everything is still so good. Can’t wait to come back and...
