Downtown Dallas scores tacos all day via new Fort Worth taqueria

Downtown Dallas gets a taste of Fort Worth's beloved taqueria when Salsa Limón debuts its "Flor de Mayo" location on March 16, at the Mayflower Building at 411 N. Akard St. The taqueria opens bright and early at 7 am, and it will offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night dining.

Salsa Limón serves Mexico City-style tacos, generous in size and with a range of fillings, from grilled steak and pork shoulder to garlic mashed potatoes and barbacoa. The tripe taco has been the "star taco" since the first branch at La Gran Plaza in Fort Worth. Another good option is the "molca bowl," a layered dip consisting of refried beans, Mexican rice, cabbage slaw, chips, and choice of meat.

Among the taqueria's accolades was its inclusion on Texas Monthly's list of best tacos in the state, which spotlighted its El Capitan taco, made with Oaxaca cheese and pickled cabbage, along with choice of protein.

"Flor de Mayo" is Spanish for Mayflower; the Dallas branch is the fifth location, including the highly anticipated Distrito, set to reopen in Fort Worth in the spring. The Dallas menu is basically the same as the others, but each Salsita is designed to complement its surroundings, while maintaining elements of traditional Mexico-sourced materials.

Co-owner Rosalia Ramirez serves as the company’s lead creative director and is excited to showcase the Dallas design inspired by the 1980’s architecture of the Mayflower Building.

"Design at the Flor de Mayo location will continue to marry the surrealism of popular Mexico decor and modern architecture," she says. "We're tailoring our signature brand of handwritten signs and custom countertops to elements of the '80s, with an art installation of neon lights. Like always, it will showcase deliciousness wherever it can."

Co-owner Ramiro Ramirez says that the company's success comes from a combination of a hardworking team with an eye for detail, great food, and love and support from our community. "We are so excited to share this new adventure with our fanatics in the great city of Dallas," he says. "Tacos, tacos, tacos everywhere!"

The Mayflower is currently under renovation, with a plan to make it a mixed-use project with apartments, retail, and on-site parking. Ramirez says that the location — a short walk away from Klyde Warren Park, Neiman Marcus, and YMCA — is ideal.

"It's in a great location, with high-rises all around, and Klyde Warren Park up the street," he says. "We're hoping to attract people who live and work in the area, but also the diehards who will drive down because they want a great taco."

The Dallas branch will be its fifth. Its location in Fort Worth's West Seventh district attracted media attention when the entire restaurant was moved by Fort Worth's Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission to White Settlement Road, to be part of the River District development along the Trinity River; that branch has not yet opened. It also has three food trucks.

The Dallas menu will be basically the same as the others. "We're tweaking our pastor, but that's because we're always refining and improving what we do," says owner Milo Ramirez.

"It's in a great location, with high-rises all around, and Klyde Warren Park up the street," he says. "We're hoping to attract people who live and work in the area, but also the diehards who will drive down because they want a great taco."

Downtown Dallas gets a taste of Fort Worth's beloved taqueria when Salsa Limón opens on March 16, at the Mayflower Building at 411 N. Akard St. The taqueria will open bright and early at 7 am, and will be open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night dining.

Salsa Limón serves Mexico City-style tacos, generous in size and with a range of fillings, from grilled steak and pork shoulder to garlic mashed potatoes and barbacoa. Another good option is a "molca bowl," a layered dip consisting of refried beans, Mexican rice, cabbage slaw, chips, and choice of meat. The tripe taco has been the "star taco" since the first branch at La Gran Plaza in Fort Worth.

Among the taqueria's accolades was its inclusion on Texas Monthly's list of best tacos in the state, which spotlighted its El Capitan taco, made with Oaxaca cheese and pickled cabbage, along with choice of protein.

The Dallas branch will be its fifth. Its location in Fort Worth's West Seventh district attracted media attention when the entire restaurant was moved by Fort Worth's Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission to White Settlement Road, to be part of the River District development along the Trinity River; that branch has not yet opened. It also has three food trucks.

The Mayflower is currently under renovation, with a plan to make it a mixed-use project with apartments, retail, and on-site parking. Ramirez says that the location — a short walk away from Klyde Warren Park, Neiman Marcus, and YMCA — is ideal.

"It's in a great location, with high-rises all around, and Klyde Warren Park up the street," he says. "We're hoping to attract people who live and work in the area, but also the diehards who will drive down because they want a great taco."

Downtown Dallas gets a taste of Fort Worth's beloved taqueria when Salsa Limón opens on March 16, at the Mayflower Building at 411 N. Akard St. The taqueria will open bright and early at 7 am, and will be open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night dining.

Salsa Limón serves Mexico City-style tacos, generous in size and with a range of fillings, from grilled steak and pork shoulder to garlic mashed potatoes and barbacoa. Another good option is a "molca bowl," a layered dip consisting of refried beans, Mexican rice, cabbage slaw, chips, and choice of meat. The tripe taco has been the "star taco" since the first branch at La Gran Plaza in Fort Worth.

Among the taqueria's accolades was its inclusion on Texas Monthly's list of best tacos in the state, which spotlighted its El Capitan taco, made with Oaxaca cheese and pickled cabbage, along with choice of protein.

The Dallas branch will be its fifth. Its location in Fort Worth's West Seventh district attracted media attention when the entire restaurant was moved by Fort Worth's Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission to White Settlement Road, to be part of the River District development along the Trinity River; that branch has not yet opened. It also has three food trucks.

Losing some spice

Beloved neighborhood taqueria to close after 37 years in Dallas' Oak Cliff

Cafeteria y Loncheria El Padrino will close its doors at the end of 2026, following 37 years serving the neighborhood.

An Oak Cliff taqueria will close its doors at the end of 2026, ending nearly 37 years serving the neighborhood. Cafeteria y Loncheria El Padrino, the brightly painted-brick gem at 408 W. Jefferson Blvd., will lose its lease at the end of December, according to Juan Contreras, son of the restaurant's owner.

Contreras confirmed to CultureMap that property managers will not renew his father's lease and have given the restaurant less than three months to vacate.

“Honestly it’s not a surprise,” Contreras says in an Instagram post. “With Bishop Arts and all the development interest around it, something was bound to happen eventually.”

The little restaurant sits at the end of a row of thrift and quinceañera dress shops, a few blocks from Bishop Avenue and the evolving Bishop Arts District.

Contreras, who shares his father's name, says the little Oak Cliff El Padrino was his dad’s first restaurant. “His dream," Contreras notes. "He’s been feeding this neighborhood since 1989.”

The family later opened a second location in Pleasant Grove.

Both restaurants are beloved for their welcoming atmosphere and unfussy, authentic Mexican fare.

"As a small business in Oak Cliff, we know what it means to be part of a community. Our neighbors are not just customers .. they are family," notes a Facebook post from the taqueria.

While handmade tortillas and tacos are staples, customers also come for antojitos — or "little cravings" — such as guacamole, menudo, pan dulce, queso, French fries, and chips. Heartier options include machacado (shredded meat) and eggs with bacon strips and cheese in the beans.

Regulars know, love, and fear the camarones a la diabla — shrimp that made a deal with the devil — with shellfish "swimming in salsa roja so picante, it’ll make your abuela say '¡Ay, Dios mío!'," says El Padrio's Facebook page. They recommend ordering a cold agua fresca de piña bien before taking a bite: "That sweet pineapple coolness is your lifesaver."

The younger Contreras, who is involved in local advocacy and community organizing, says the history of Oak Cliff — particularly the area around his father’s restaurant — illustrates the less welcome side of neighborhood revitalization.

“This has been building for years. Elected officials and interest groups sell you a beautiful picture of what a neighborhood can become," he says in his social media post. "What they leave out is that the people who stayed and kept these neighborhoods alive when nobody else wanted them are usually the ones priced out or pushed aside for ‘better’ tenants.”

The elder Contreras came to the U.S. "with nothing but his hands and the hope that his kids would have it easier than he did," says the son, "the way so many of our fathers did."

Unless something changes before the end of the year, the Oak Cliff location will continue operating throughout 2026, Contreras says. The Pleasant Grove location will remain open and unaffected, he adds.

“If you’re one of the Oak Cliff regulars or you’ve been meaning to stop by, now’s the time,” he says. “Come eat, order out, and tell your friends. Every visit means a lot to my dad right now.”

Hope is not entirely lost for the owner and local fans of his restaurant, Contreras says. The Contreras family has weathered its share of challenges and does not intend to give up on Oak Cliff easily. They just need to find an appropriate and affordable space from which to operate.

“This isn’t our first rodeo. If you know of a move-in-ready space in Oak Cliff where my dad can plug in and cook, send me a message," he says.
