Alas... all of Texas Mexican seems to be ground beef, Tex-Mex. I'm not a fan. Can anyone suggest any Mexican restaurants that have shredded beef or are somewhat similar to California Mexican? Thanks y'all... :) Sat Oct 20 19:19:13 -0700 2007 136253 keykey 1 3054580 Luna De Noche has shredded beef tacos. They're a local chain with several locations: RIchardson and 75@Coit.

Pure "Tex Mex" places may not since the El Fenix standard is ground meat not shredded.

I am completely addicted to their barbarcoa tacos. I usually get two and a shredded beef quesadilla and I am stuffed for hours. I have heard from several people that Fuel City, another gas station taqueria, has the best tacos in the city. They are near the mixmaster on Industrial. Their picadillo tacos are very good, but their barbacoa arent as tasty as the ones at Fuel Town. I guess it really just depends on which of the two that you are nearest to.

Order the Brisket Tacos, you won't be disapppointed, they are a mama's special. Mia's Tex-Mex 4322 Lemmon Ave Dallas, Texas 75219 214-526-1020 Mon-Sat 11am–10pm http://www.miastexmex.com/ Mon Oct 22 12:19:47 -0700 2007 3053120 136645 bwilson11 1 3060326 Run, don't walk, to Fuzzy's Taco Shop (two locations in Fort Worth) for the Garlic Shredded Beef Tacos. I live in Austin now but that's where I always eat when I drive through Fort Worth. Great tempura fish tacos as well.

Tue Oct 23 15:27:34 -0700 2007 3053120 136975 amerztx 1 3073249 We call them "brisket tacos" here, and they can be found many places, but I will suggest the ones at Luna De Noche at Preston in Plano, and Taco Diner (many locations) has a version that is good....I'm sure that most Mexican food Restaurants have them, those are just two places that I know have good ones... Sat Oct 27 19:00:52 -0700 2007 3053120 71851 jinet12 2 3073925 I'll second that rec for the brisket tacos at Luna de Noche. I don't like much else there, but the brisket tacos are killer.
