Cesar Tacos Y Gorditas

The nacho yellow illuminiscent glow of Cesar’s fast food sign, which perhaps might have been a churches fried chicken at one point, beckons delicious greasy tacos and a little taste of Mexico.
Inside the colorful carnival menu didn’t seem to be as cheap as I had imagined with $ 7 plates, and a $ 6 3 taco plate with rice and beans.
I ordered 3 tacos, guac and chips and paid $ 10, which again seemed pricey, which when I got home, didn’t include rice and beans and was missing the guacamole. The chips were kind of bogus, and they served me a thing of salsa in a Styrofoam plate that was smashed under a plate of chips.
Perhaps my lack of Spanish contributed to the errors, but I love Cesar’s slummy carnival Mexico vibe, and I do like the tacos just fine, but I kept thinking I could pay the same price at Urban Taco for a much better product that would include 2 sides.
I’ll be more careful when I go back to Cesar’s which might not be soon, or if only to reclaim my lost guacamole.
On a second visit the tacos were significantly better, perhaps an attribute of having a Mexican dining companion, who ordered a gordita and the deep fried sandwhich covered in red chile sauce, the envied dish at our table.

Great little place I go here at least once a week. The food is great, especially for the price and they have quick service.

I feel like this is a Mexican food emporium. The place is not so big, but the menu is huge — and touches just about everything that’s authentically Mexican. You want gorditas? check. Tacos? check. Ceviche? check? Fried whole fish, sopes, barbacoa, flautas, raspadas, nopales, carnitas, chicharrones, quesadillas, enchiladas? Yup… all checked.
Now, that’s pretty impressive, for a taqueria. Tell me if you know if any other taqueria that sells all of these things and more. And it’s open 24 hours?
Case closed. Okay, but really…
Anyways, I came to break my virginity with gorditas, and I can tell you gorditas are like sandwiches made out of corn tacos — nothing like the Venezuelan arepas (which are better, imho, but that’s just me). But for what it was, it was good, and affordable. And I had them add steak into it, just for the hell of it! ;)

We decided to grab a quick dinner here.
I ordered the barbacoa taco plate, which came with 3 tacos, rice, refried beans, and toppings — lettuce, tomato, onions, and cilantro. My hubby ordered the barbacoa gorditas plate, and my daughter had chicken flautas and cheese quesadilla.
The barbacoa was okay. It was a little bit too salty for me, but the good thing was that it wasn’t too fatty. Sometimes barbacoa can be super fatty that it’s unappetizing to me. The rice seemed a bit old; it tasted funny to me. My hubby enjoyed his gorditas and seemed satisfied. My daughter’s quesadilla was fine, but the flautas were over fried and super greasy. The chicken inside was pretty much like chicken jerky.
I really liked the fresh salsa that was available at the window where you pick up your food. Also, the salsas in the bottles were pretty tasty.
The restaurant didn’t have a «clean» feeling; it was a bit grimey. I tried not to think about it too much while I was eating my food.
Overall, we would return. The food was okay and was served quite quickly. The price point wasn’t bad — $ 19.00 fed 2 adults & a kid.

They were open ²⁴⁄₇ and pretty much our only option after a late night flight into Dallas. Ordered gorditas to go — the food sure was greasy but it was what we needed after starving in the long flight, and the sauces were awesome! Prices were very good too.

Love this place! The gorditas de chicharon are my favorite! Me & my coworkers order from here often & it never fails! Good Mexican food for very low prices.

After searching for hole in the wall places… I finally found this one.
I just moved here from LA so I am a big foodie and a big authentic Mexican food fan.
I wasn’t too fond of this place. The décor was blah and the menu was all over the place but my biggest concern is the food.
I ordered several things as a tasting and it’s very salty. Chorizo taco was mushy that it reminded me of dog food n the salty ness was unbearable that I only had 1 bite. The pastor was ok but then again very salty. I also had the bistek taco which was ok. Remind you my tacos and the aluminum foil that was wrapped in it was soaking with oil.
The flautas was sooooooo hard that it seemed the meat inside was 10 days old. Their guacamole… Well let’s just say that was not guacamole. As for the burrito, I asked for carne asada, rice, beans, cheese and pico de gallo. What did I get inside? Meat and rice and it was dry like the Arizona weather. Probably won’t go back here again.

Pretty authentic Mexican food! Born and raised in Houston, I am pretty picky when it comes to authentic Mexican food. Generally though, the meat was not seasoned enough and a bit on the dry side. We got the carnitas which were super dry, and Barbacoa and fajita beef tacos. Tortillas were not soft, but more chewy. Prices are pretty good, and they give you plenty of salsa, cilantro, onion and lime on the side for take out. Worth a try if you’re in the area, but compares pretty equally to any other taqueria in Dallas, so don’t make a special trip if you don’t have to!

Great inexpensive Mexican food. The ambiance isn’t great, so I’d suggest take-​out; but they do have free wi-​fi while you wait. The Carne Asada plate is a great deal at around $ 8. Along with the meat, rice & beans, you also get a small salad, tortillas, and half a fresh avocado.

PERFECT! You know it’s good Mexican food when the menu is only in Spanish! I spotted it from the road and KNEW it was gonna be good! It delivered! The chillaquiles taste like angels made them

Pretty much the real deal here. Looks like DF tastes like DF. Nice service, grimy décor like authentic DF. The guacamole is like no other… Very spicy! And that’s good.

The Bistek a la Mexicana had me hiccuping with the first bite. That’s good spicy hot Mexican food – the kind you will only find in Mexico and in Texas. This is the kind of food that separates the men from the boys. Just like Turkish Doner Kebabs that you buy in Oxford, England after a night with the Blokes in the town at the pubs and clubs on the way home from the roach coaches owned by British Turkish immigrants, this place will have you FARTING FIRE the next day. That’s a man’s dish right there. Good luck finding that in Dallas Turkish cuisine it’s all sedate in comparison like men who drink rum and cokes. See a show at the Kessler and stop by here for excellent tacos and other Mexican dishes. Peace.

Just the BEST tacos you will ever eat. Get the beef fajita, with cilantro and onion, then put their green sauce and lime on it.
Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Don’t worry if you are the only gringo. Everyone here is very nice, and I have never felt uncomfortable. (My 21-​year-​old daughter goes with no problems.)

Unfortunately, Unilocal needs to get hip and offer a scale that reads up to 10 stars… because Cesar’s would get a 10 from me! Although the building seems a bit dilapidated, don’t let the cover of the book fool you. Once you dust off the cover of this book, you will find wonderful and magical things! I ordered the spicy pork gorditas (amazing!) and a bistek taco. Talk about spicy, the have HUGE chunks of jalapenos that are grilled just swimming all up in your food. It makes for a beautiful kick that must be washed down with a ½ liter of Mexican Coke. $ 1.15 for a taco, $ 1.69 for a gordita and 7 mins from downtown… what more do you want in life? Go give Cesar’s a shot and you will become a regular just like I did!

For 24 hour authentic Mexican food cravings, Caesars is the best. It’s right there and it’s always open… but you have to go more than once, no matter how bad your first experience is. I waited almost 45 minutes for my tacos the first time, and now they know my name. Their barbacoa is always perfect and their tortas and nachos really hit the spot, plus they have fresca, topo chicos or jarritos to accompany it with delicious crisp bunelos for dessert.

Its open 24 hours– that’s a plus! Kind of fun kicking it at 3 am with Oak Cliff hipsters, quincenera party-​goers, and just anyone jinsin for a gordita or taco at the midnight hour. Mexican cokes and orange pop compliments, a variety of hot tacos and gorditas– if you don’t want to amp up your grease intake go for the chicken, if you want full flavor go for the carnitas or «al pastor» ask for it all –it really doesn’t count if it isn’t chaperoned by cilantro, chopped onions, and red and green salsas. The place is not much to look at– can be a bit dirty at night – yellow swivel chairs and garrish lights, plus norteno music of course.

If you are in the area and in the mood for $ 1.07 damn good tacos… stop by Cesar’s at this location.
Don’t be scared when you walk in. Sure, the staff is barricaded in for a reason. But, if you stick to the daylight hours, I am sure nothing will happen during your meal.
I ordered the picadillo and the bistec tacos. YUM
Made fresh with the standard side of lime, cilantro, and onions.
Unless you live nearby, I can’t suggest you make the trek. But, if you live near Davis and Polk, make this a frequent pitstop.
