What our guests are saying

Family-run Mexican meat market that has excellent street tacos. I tried 4 different kinds and they were all great. Even the tortillas and salsa were homemade. The store is a little hard to find as it is behind another strip of stores. I.e. it's not visible from the street, but it's worth the time to find it.

My wife and I stopped in today for lunch - tacos were excellent, salsa was A+++. Small family-owned business tucked back out of sight (often the best kind when you find them!) Will definitely be coming back!!

What is La Tienda Escondida? It's an idea taken from experience of working with many of the local mexican "carnicerias" throughout the DFW Metroplex. It's a slightly different take on a mexican meat market while holding true to the authentic grocery products, meat market and food served in the taqueria. Different in that the brothers have both lived in the Forney area since 1998 and affords them the opportunity to serve their family, friends and neighbors. It is a true family atmosphere without being artificial in its sincerity. We have an authentic "carniceria" or mexican meat market with mexican marinated meats, milanesa, picana, as well as more typical cuts of meat such as ribeyes, T-bones, pork chops and many others. We also have an authentic mexican taqueria restaurant with everything made from scratch such as quiso de lengua, quiso de puerco, and many authentic options such as gorditas, tortas, burritos, caldos (soups) and much, much more. In addition, we have a small specialty convenience/grocery store with dry goods, mexican soft drinks imported from Mexico, and fresh produce. The grocery section is more about convenience and has a limited selection of staple items like salt, sugar, pepper, flour, cooking oil as well as many more items. We offer convenience with quality products found in larger grocery stores within a family setting.
