Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Leading up to September's Best of Dallas® 2017 issue, we're sharing (in no particular order) our 100 Favorite Dishes, the Dallas entrées, appetizers and desserts that really stuck with us this year.
La Botana Taco Bar, the food truck often posted up at Truck Yard or Sisu, makes a phenomenal taco. What's the only thing that could make these tacos better? Cheese. And not just any cheese, either.
La Botana sears soft white Chihuahua cheese, creating this beautifully crusty, melty, stretchy bed of cheese, stuffs it with the taco filling of your choice (we suggest pastor, flank steak or the daily veg option, like caramelized mushrooms) and stuffs it all into an impeccably fresh flour tortilla topped with Botana's stellar tangy salsas. Keep an eye on the daily specials, like the occasional costra made on a cauliflower tortilla.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
