About Us
A restaurant that spoke Tex-Mex
We started as El Taxco in 1947, a local at McKinney and St. Paul in downtown Dallas. El Taxco was famous for its hot sauce with the emphasis on hot. We also served enchiladas with that wonderful chili gravy, nachos piled with cheese, sour cream and guacamole that the tortilla chips disappeared from view.
Casa Navarro,
daughter of El Taxco
After financial difficulties in the 80's, Blanca and Joe Navarro decided to found Casa Navarro as a result of no-nonsense earnestness. They ran the restaurant from 1974 to 1987 in a matchbox space at Marsh and Forest Lane. For El Taxco fans, taste that food was like coming home again.
Incredible Mexican Flavors
Taste our hot sauce, chips, old style nachos and fajita nachos (tortilla triangles folded around skirt steak, grilled peppers, and onions). The warm bean soup is a new extra. Asking for an assorted half-order, a mix of gobs of guacamole, cheddar, sour cream and jalapenos. We also have various combinations of chicken, beans and beef.
Lunch Specials for You
Enjoy our delicious plates with fresh chewy corn tortilla rolled into a cheese enchilada smothered in chili gravy and a cheese taco draped with light-colored cheese sauce. Or if you ask for our fresh-fried taco shell, if greasy, and stuffed with beef, lettuce, tomato and cheese, and the refried beans have that deep, almost sour taste.
