The best tacos near Lake Lewisville aren’t exactly hiding. You just have to know where to look.
The shortlist
NJ’s Taqueria. Tucked on FM 2181 in Hickory Creek and absolutely worth finding. Street-style done right — cilantro, onion, homemade salsa, no ceremony.
Taqueria Los Pinos. Built the old-fashioned way, one taco at a time. A Lake Dallas gem on Hundley with regulars who drive out of their way to stay loyal to it. Cash only.
Maria’s Mexican Restaurant. Family-run just off I-35E, under their own line: from our family to your family. Fresh homemade tortillas, carne asada tacos, menudo on Sundays.
Angelina’s Mexican Restaurant. The Hickory Creek neighborhood favorite that’s been quietly holding it down since Angelina Velez opened with ten tables in 1986. Still family-run, still no-nonsense.
Save this for your next taco run near the lake.
