There’s a new family-owned taqueria in Dallas that has a thing for baseball: Called Taco Base<\/a>, it’ll open on December 22 at 4043 E Trinity Mills Rd. #122, at Midway Road, in what was previously a short-lived restaurant called Krab Kingz.<\/p>\n

Taco Base is from chef Patricia Acosta and her husband Nahum. Patricia grew up in the restaurant industry, helping at her parents’ restaurant El Paisa Taqueria, the well-regarded local chain that just opened a location<\/a> in Carrollton, starting when she was 10 years old. Nahum, who is originally from Veracruz, also worked at El Paisa for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now time for us to have our own place with the knowledge that our parents left us, and for us to leave something for our kids,” Patricia says.<\/p>\n

Their menu is large, featuring Tex-Mex basics with some authentic Mexican touches including fajitas, nachos, quesadillas, and burritos. Entree-style meal plates include enchiladas, gorditas, and flautas, ranging from $10 to $15.<\/p>\n

Street tacos come in varieties such as tripe, fish, chorizo, tinga, barbacoa, chicharr\u00f3n, and al pastor street. They offer choice of three kinds of tortillas: corn from a local producer; or else housemade tortillas in choice of corn or flour for $1 extra.<\/p>\n

One signature dish they offer that you do not see everywhere is the pambazo \u2014 the Veracruz sandwich that’s like meat-and-potatoes on bread, a sloppy delight featuring chorizo and potatoes on a roll that’s been dipped in guajillo sauce and fried.<\/p>\n

They also make aguas frescas in-house with sugar cane, in an assortment of flavors including tamarind, horchata, and lemonade.<\/p>\n

The name Taco Base celebrates their love of baseball, including their two sons who are big baseball fans; their logo features a baseball bat. The restaurant’s interior features posters honoring big baseball personalities such as Mexican player Hector Espino, alongside Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Nolan Ryan.<\/p>\n

But they also liked the idea of their restaurant serving as a base or meeting spot, just like corner street tacos in Mexico, where people meet regularly and enjoy good food.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to be part of the community, with a home feel where tacos are always there \u2014 we want to be there for our customers,” Patricia says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There’s a new family-owned taqueria in Dallas that has a thing for baseball: Called Taco Base, it’ll open…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97420,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[423,160,162,161,3570],"class_list":{"0":"post-97419","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-openings","9":"tag-plano","10":"tag-plano-headlines","11":"tag-plano-news","12":"tag-tacos"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
