Tacos El Guero

The theme of today was confusion, because today's trek to Tacos El Guero ended up in much confusion. This tiny taco stand, located in East Dallas, is very clean and fast, but it was hard to order especially since staple items (chicken, beef fajita, barbacoa) were missing from the menu.

While the menu may be very traditional for a taqueria, items like tripas (intestines), cabeza (head?!), and lingua (cow tongue!), made most of us a little nervous...This was by far our most adventurous stop on the tour!

When you step into the cramped space to order, you are handed a complimentary taco to try, a bonus! Since I knew this was normal cow beef, I ate it up. The man behind the counter, who sounds like the owner from the Yelp reviews, was very friendly but there was still a language barrier. I think most of us are still wondering how ordering a barbacoa taco resulted in a cabeza taco.

They did have an entire wall of currency from far away lands! Egypt, North Korea, Mexico, Honduras, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, India, a US $2 bill - it was pretty cool to look at!

  1. But Tripas and Cabeza are some of the best tasting tacos out there...I know it takes a lot to try stuff that's a little out of the "comfort zone", but it's worth it (almost every time!)
