Always worth the visit - Edit
Discovered this restaurant was two miles from where my mother grew up and knew I had to visit it when I was in Dallas late 2019. Everything was good! Tacos were my favorite, not to mention all the desserts. Ended up taking extra to eat later. I’ve now ordered their tacos and nachos online multiple times and I never want to share!

Vegan Tex-Mex and Trad Mex - Edit
Im Mexican first and vegan second. So my review comes from my Mexican side . Also I’d been wanting to go to this restaurant for years but had never been able to time our road trips through Dallas when they’re open.
Read moreThe service was lovely. The girl up front was sweet and knowledgeable and patient cuz it was our first time there.
The place looks just like a traditional Mexican panadería and café and “tiendita”. Very clean , warm and welcoming. Norteña music was blasting from the TV. Reminded me of our parties with my family when I was growing up!
Now the food :
The marranitos (piggies) were a little dry.
The fries were decent but most Mexican restaurants are not known for their fries.
The coffee was ok but I’m a total coffee snob so I am a harsh judge. I won’t even drink Starbucks. They had Califa hazelnut and silk vanilla soy creamers as options. Not my favorite creamers but they were fine.
The rice and beans were perfect. Great flavor and texture.
The salsas on the table were excellent, not too spicy tho.
My flautas were delicious! It had been years since I had flautas cuz they’re not typically vegan so I almost cried with how good they were. And they were not greasy just flavorful.
My daughter and husband had the BBQ sandwich. I had a bite and it was so good! Very smoky and sweet.
My son had the enchiladas and he inhaled them
Before I could get a taste. He said they were “just fine” .
We all shared the loaded fries. Amazing ! Even tho the fries are just decent/ok, the toppings were so good and flavorful. We devoured the whole thing between 4 of us.
Now for the best part: the pan dulce . Oh my. I had pretty much accepted when I became vegan that I’d never eat pan dulce again. Oh my. Seriously better than I remember “regular” pan Dulce. My husband is not vegan and he does not like regular Pan Dulce because it does tend to be dry. He loved the custard/strawberry pan he got. Not dry at all . We each picked one (different varieties) and took more to go. The only one that was so so were the marranitos, but these are made to dip in coffee so they’re meant to be dry.
Please check them out when you’re in Dallas. Hoping to be able to hit them up on our way back from our road trip.
Pros: All vegan tex Mex , Excelent service , Pan dulce !

Don’t miss this spot - Edit
Best food I’ve had in a long time. We had the birria tacos, tamales, and queso. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and hit the spot. Go on the weekends to get the birria plate - the flavors were deep and rich.

Best Mexican food I've had in my entire life. - Edit
El Palote Panaderia is more than just a restaurant. It is a humble, wholesome, family owned and operated open hug! The food is leaps and bounds better than any other Mexican restaurant that I've ever ate at. The hospitality is second to none. The prices are more than reasonable. This is love in action folks. I encourage everyone to come support this Superb place!

Worth the Drive!!! - Edit
I cannot even begin to explain how divine this food was! Everything we tried was so authentic, flavorful, and filling in the best way! They even sell vegan meats by the pound, and I already can’t wait to go back here! This satisfied us in every way, from the rice and beans to their delicious conchas and tamales! Do not miss out on this place!

Delicious! - Edit
Full bodied, great flavor throughout. So much vegan food is fluff, lacking basic food seasoning principles, but this was uncommonly satisfying. We had tamales, tacos, and burros - good portions and price and super tasty. A rad spot, with a case of gorgeous Mexican pastries and bulk house fake meat for purchase. El Palote is doing a cool thing here - such a welcome stop on our road trip. We wish we would have ordered 3x more tamales!

Cons: I like less fake meat usually, Lack of such food in my town, .....

Vegan Mexican food! - Edit
If you’re in the mood for Mexican food, this is it! My husband got the enchiladas, I got the flaurrito plate (has jalapeños so cut if you don’t want them) and my son got the bbq sandwich. Surprisingly the bbq sandwich looked the best out of all of them! My son who is 16 loved it! Mine was super flavorful and good, just fried so I couldn’t eat all of it, hurts my stomach. My husband said the enchiladas were delicious. He said the hot sauce was the best! He likes super hot. IMO I wasn’t crazy about the beans, but everything else was good. They were a smaller size portion, but enough. Mine was enormous. I recommend getting the burritos here, have had them before and very good and large. I thought I took a pic of the bbq, but I guess I didn’t. I’m definitely trying that next time!

Authentic Vegan Mexican Food - Edit
This is the best Mexican vegan food place I have had! Very authentic; not Tex-Mex. We enjoyed the Menudo, el pastor taco, barbacoa taco, rice and beans and tamales. Everything surpassed our expectations. Corn tortillas are fresh, handmade. The service was excellent and the restaurant was very clean. We came on a Saturday at 5:00. Prices are very reasonable.

Amazing Mexican food - Edit
Okay, so we had the birria tacos and the flautario. Those tacos were insanely flavorful. The salsa great, actually has some heat. I’ve been looking for these flavors for so long and so happy we found this place.
Read moreI would say the sour cream is skippable, seems more like vegan mayo. Other than that, everything was perfect. Wish I had room for dessert as the pastries look amazing.

Greasy & Barbacoa tasteless. - Edit
Work on making the meat less greasy and more flavorful, offer some fresh food options (like maybe taco salad, tortilla soup)

Pros: Complete vegan menu, Great Mexican bakery
Cons: Very very very oily/greasy, spiced for heat not for flavor

Actually taco salad and tortilla soup are not authentic Mexican food. This place was absolutely as authentic as can be for Mexican vegan.
