The 50 best spots for quesabirria in Houston

Our go-to spot for breakfast tacos! Portions are big and super tasty, almost like getting a burrito instead of a taco. We drive almost an hour to get here and it’s always worth it!

Absolutely the best breakfast tacos in the Heights! Jessie the owner is very nice and is always greeting customers! Their green sauce is the best in town!

I ordered food for pickup the night before. 8 tacos all different and upcharged. When I arrived at 9am for the pickup it was not ready until 9:15 which was frustrating since I ordered ahead. I was told the chicken would be another 15-20 minutes. Why have that as an option if the place opens at 8am and you don’t serve things on the breakfast menu until an hour and a half later. The tacos were so soggy. The potatoes were clearly stale/more than a day old. The jimmy bean taco was stone cold and we just threw it away. I am disappointed to have spent $50 on 8 tacos that weren’t good especially in Texas.

Disappointing first visit here, will look forward to a redeem trip! Pretty much out of all food by 12:45 PM (queso, eggs, enchiladas), which I think was a fluke. Fajitas were ok. Realized after we left we never got the chips and salsa we ordered. Very sweet staff, lovely to our kids.

Make your conclusion Placed my order online at 8:30 AM and was told it would be ready by 9:20 AM. I arrived at 9:30 AM, expecting a quick pickup, but the scene was chaotic. I mentioned my online order and still had to wait another five minutes before receiving it. Over an hour for a basic egg and potato taco? Not worth it. There are other spots nearby that serve tastier tacos with far less hassle. Note- This is not first time it happened. here.

Big tacos, a regular adults will fill up with just 2! I had the barbacoa taco and my wife had the pork en salsa verde. They both tasted really good. If only they had better salsas it would be great.

Great food, but after visiting multiple times, the wait for both dine-in and carryout is unacceptably slow at peak times or weekends. Expect to wait 30-45 minutes more than you’d think for similar food/restaurants, even if calling ahead

Authentic Tacos That Transport You Straight to Mexico! This taco shop is DELICIOUS! I had the lengua, tripa dorada, and barbacoa tacos, and each one was absolutely amazing—packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The authenticity reminded me of being back in Mexico. The tripa was crispy just the way it should be, the lengua was tender and flavorful, and the barbacoa was rich and juicy. You can tell they put care into every detail. If you're craving true Mexican street-style tacos, this is the spot. Their aguas frescas were the perfect complement. Highly recommended!

Today I decided to stop at taco La Bala The beans were OK. They did offer prompt service They were a little runny for me. The rice was missing a little bit of personality and flavor. The Barbacoa tacos were OK. I liked them. The meat was tender and it was flavorful and the place was packed so I guess people do like them. I do also know that they have four different locations.

The tacos are amazing! So far it’s been my favorite taco joint in Houston! 9/10 highly recommend the barbacoa and asada tacos.

Stopped by yesterday after work. Burrito and tacos were good. One thing I liked the most was the salsa verde. It was full of flavor. Most places lack on spice.

Delicious flavors. I felt good bang for buck. The red and green salad were spicy and tasty. Some of the meat felt dry and overbooked. The al pastor (aka trompo) meat has a nice flavor profile.

Authentic Mexican food. Their food taste like when I'm in Mexico. It doesn't take long for it to come out. Update 3/6/2022 - Came here on a busy Sunday and the place was packed with super long lines and surprisingly the line went super fast and people left super quick. The place is well maintained by the cleaning crew because as soon as someone leaves there they are cleaning and picking plates up. The food is still amazing and delicious.

Taqueria La Bala is a hidden gem on Belair Boulevard that serves mouthwatering Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere is Mexican, staff not so friendly , and authentic flavors make it a must-visit spot. The tacos are a standout, with flavorful fillings and freshly made tortillas. The salsa adds an extra kick to the meal. The service is attentive, and the prices are reasonable. For an authentic Mexican dining experience, Taqueria La Bala is the place to go! If you’re in the southwest

Do not go here! They are extremely rude and the customer service was terrible! I asked for their chicken mini taco combo and the cashier asked if I wanted three tacos, I said no, I want the chicken mini taco combo. He said okay and the proceeds to charge me for the three tacos which is significantly more expensive. When I received the wrong order and politely told him about the corrections, he just went to make my original order with no refund in sight. When I told him about the refund he grew very angry and aggressive (slamming receipts on the table, rolling his eyes at me, openly mocking me.) Eventually when I asked for my final receipts he grabbed my bag, purposefully scratching me in the process, before rudely showing me the receipt in the bag. Then just when I thought it was over THIS is how I got my food back! Just haphazardly thrown together & spilled all over! Really really rude!

Super cute spot located in a food court with so many different options. Pricing is decent and customer service was on point. Def coming back!!

Tacos were delicious. However the corn was sour & they refused to compensate me or give me something in place of the corn. DO NOT. & I REPEAT DO NOT GET CORN IN A CUP. If you order from this place, know that they don't care if the costumers are satisfied or not.

Good al pastor tacos as well as chicken. The street corn is really good as well, the Post is a nice place to visit with family!

The food is awesome and our serving staff Carmen did a great job in taking care of us

Great service, Lucy was very nice. The tacos al pastor and nachos were delicious.

Tacos are always so good, 10/10 never misses. Shoutout to Lucy for always giving great service and great food!

If I died today and this was my last meal, I’d die a happy woman. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in Houston. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and authentic. I highly recommend checking this place out! Also, I didn’t get a picture of my coffee because I finished it too fast it was that good.

First time here and had a hard time deciding what to get so many delicious looking things. I settled on a quesadilla with mushrooms and I was not disappointed. It was so savory and meaty but meatless. The green sauce and pickled veggies accented it perfectly. I will be back to try more and bring the hubby next time so we can try more dishes. 😋

The chips and guacamole were a great starter, flavorful. The quesadillas is huge, definitely worth the cost and the extra cost for the addition of chicken. Green salsa was a great topping to that as well. The cashier gentleman was very soft spoken it was a bit hard to hear him considering the moderate noise in the restaurant. Would recommend to speak up a bit. Customer service was still great!

Damn i was actually surprised how the food and everything was so good. Love the chill somewhat quiet atmosphere with some old latin tunes (some jazz as well). The food though? My goodness, extremely flavorful and spicy! But i loved it. I came by randomly after a jam session with some homies, the place was literally a minute away. I really hope this place continues to stay open. AND its vegan friendly!

I hardly give out 5 starts, however, this place definitely deserves it. Everything here was delicious! From the horchata, to Totopos (chips), breakfast burrito and tres leches French toast! As someone who loves Mexican food, you know that the right green sauce can make or break a taco place; this place has amazing green sauce! The chorizo in the breakfast burrito was delicious and authentic ! None of that chef experiment bs, where they add pickles to it like WTH lol (a breakfast spot in montrose). The chorizo here tastes like something they made for me at home, as a kid when I was growing up. The horchata was homemade and creamy and perfect! The tres leches French toast, need I say more ? This place is so good and I will definitely be coming back. I’m so glad we found it!

Always a great experience at Cochinita & Co! Recently treated myself to a meal to-go and there was a slight mishap with the order. The staff quickly remedied the order without hesitation. Supererb customer service! We often take our friends and family from out of town to try some of Houston’s finest food. The brunch menu is a favorite. You can’t go wrong with any item but I’m partial to their vegan chilaquiles! ☺️

Absolutely outstanding, I could eat from here daily! OK, I've only ever had one bowl, but the quality was above and beyond. I'm definitely ordering again, the rest of the menu looks equally good. I'll let y'all know

When driving to this food truck, you might miss it, but you'll be happy that you found it. They provide a small indoor area, but I think the majority of customers just eat in their cars or take it to go. The food was great, and the portion size for the price was solid. The green salsa was spicy, but a must try. I wish I could've tried the beans, but since I went right as they opened, they were cooked just yet. I recommend going around 3ish to have the full menu available. Everything tasted fresh. I definitely need to go back and try the other items on the menu, but i tried the large quesadilla and corn tacos. I tried the beef, pork, and the mix.

This is the best place in Houston for street tacos and tortas. The pastor meat is one of the best I've ever had. It's a food truck they do have seating available in their patio that is attached to the building which inside is bar. They are very fast even when they are busy. Must stop for late night Street tacos.

The street tacos are sooo good! Will be back! They accept cash and Zelle Ordered: 3 carne asada tacos with cheese. Comes with grilled onions, salsa and onions and cilantro on the side.

Came on what seemed like a slow night for the bar attached; which made ordering easy and service fast. I ordered everything to-go. Ordered 5 tacos (3 bistec, 2 trompo) and it came with lime wedges, cilantro, fresh chopped onions, and a red and green salsa. My wife also got 5 tacos and a side of grilled pineapple and a cup of charro beans. Everything totaled to $29 ($1 Zelle fee they have posted). It’s convenient they’re not cash only but they also accept cash. Everything was plastic wrapped pretty nicely and I didn’t worry about it moving around in my car. We got home, prepared our meals and had a fantastic time. The tacos were delicious and the trompo is definitely what they’re known for. You don’t see that a lot and they do it very well. We used the grilled pineapples for the trompo tacos and I recommend you do it too. Both salsas were really yummy but I think I preferred the red with these tacos. The regular charro beans were also very delicious. They offer ones with toppings but we opted for the “plain” option. They are anything but plain. We will definitely be back with friends!

10/10 best tacos I’ve had !!! Taste just like from Mexico you have to go here !!!! And the price point is great

Wow. Large portions, quick service, delicious salsa anything comes with cooked and fresh onions. Trompo is amazing!

Food was amazing. The trompo torta was insanely delicious. We had the green sauce and it was great but be warned it is very spicy! The service was just ok, they were really busy.

The service and the atmosphere are good. Unfortunately, the food was plane and had not flavor. Is a self ordered and on the screen that recommends (extra cheese for $2) and ( guacamole for $4). I definitely don't recommend any of the 2 extras. The extra cheese definitely takes away the little flavor the birria has, and the guacamole is just generic smashed avocado with no flavor or even salt or chips to accompany. It tastes like the ones pre made from supermarkets. I don't think I will come back.

Oh darn it, because dishes were so enticing, I forgot to take photos of them once I received them 🤪😋 The guy at the front register was patient and kind. The music from the private event was very loud, so it was hard to hear. Typically, when I order quesabirria, I look for how good their consomé is and how good their sauces are. Tonight, I was like the Goldilocks who found the perfect consomé - not too salty, oily, or dense - I was truly thrilled finishing every drop of it (it was on the smaller side). This consomé took everything to the next level especially for the tamales. Their tamales were the best I have ever tried. To my surprise, they were pretty big and moist. Still, I poured plenty of the green sauce & consomé all over my tamale. Even though initially I was lamenting that they didn't have more sauce variety like other places, but everything (green sauce, consomé, side veggies, and the tamale or quesabirria) blended so well together, the need for some red and other types of sauces dissipated. I still could use more consomé though, because it was literally like a super yummy beef soup for me personally 😍 I also got a large mango juice. I asked for less ice, and it was completely filled to the top 🙌🏻 I do appreciate that! It was super refreshing and not too sticky sweet, which I loved. This is a fun location, yet it's also family friendly! I can't wait to go back, get some tamales again, try their birria burger, and take more photos!

The best Birria Tacos, Birria Quesadilla & Birria Tortas in H-Town I would put these against anyone....located in the Cervatory on West Alabama near Galleria

AMAZING quesobirria, the barbacoa was really tender and the consume was a flavour bomb. The churros were good, a little more cake-like than I'm used to but still really crispy and tasty. I would definitely recommend this place!

Food court location at the conservatory galleria. Service was prompt and the food prep was nicely done. Birria tacos wee tasty and quesadilla was excellent. Just like you expect... a little greasy but yummy,!

First time coming here trying to branch out because I eat Birria twice a week from the same spot so I decided to give them a shot. Definitely not worth the money you spend. It was a nasty, sloppy, cheesy, soggy mess. Then they put it on paper in the box and the greasy sloppy mess absorbs all of the pink dye on the paper. Not only was the food not anything to return for but specifically my experience picking up my food too. I placed my order in advanced through grub hub, I got there , there was one person standing there on his phone I can only assume he ordered already and was waiting for his food and I could see only one employee at the time and he was working the grill. So I stood at the counter and waited for him to finish so he could acknowledge me and I can get the food. He looks back 2 or 3 times never opened his mouth. I can (but painfully) overlook that part but what gets me is another lady walks up and stands beside me and we’re all standing there for 2-3 minutes more the guy turns around again packs an order then ask the lady that came after me how he could help her. He gives her her order, doesn’t acknowledge me or even look my way then gets back on the grill. Another employee finally comes around the corner and ask if I was picking up which I confirmed I told him my name twice and ultimately ended up having to showing him my screen for him to determine what order I was trying to pick up. Overall nasty food and a less than desirable experience I definitely won’t be back.

I had THE best tacos I’ve every had IN MY LIFE! I believe they were called Birria Tacos and I chose the Birria meat as the filling and I opted for the extra cheese… wow wow wow. I will go home and dream about those tacos lol. 10/10 highly recommend.

Service is terrible, I called ahead and placed an order and when we got there the lady said that they had just sold all of the chorizo. She never made the food for us so they sold out. She said the person had just come and ordered 8 tacos. Additionally , she started make the rest of my order and I asked for no beans and she proceeded to make the tacos with beans. Instead of starting over she just scraped the beans off and kept making the taco. Do not recommend solely based of service.

Don't bother. Service is awful. I made an order online, and when I got there they had sold part of my order to another customer. They didn't have the rest of my order made because they ran out of food. This is poor customer service. I won't be back. Save yourself the expense and go somewhere they honor you as a customer.

The guy on the phone wouldn't let me place a to go order saying it would take 2 minutes (not the case) but never mentioned that what I wanted to order wasn't available. My husband is about to pay and the guy tells him NO CHEESE. Not that they didn't run out, he says no one wanted it so they stopped using cheese. What?! The tacos were pretty bad so not sure the cheese would have made them much better but come on. You can't have it on the menu everywhere or a decent breakfast taco without it!

It's alright. Green sauce was hot and yummy if you like burning. My daughter said "how is this a quesadilla?" And the tortillas are not homemade. I'm going to stick to chilosos. Parking blows too as it's in the gas station.

So glad I got to finally try this place. I used to frequent the taco truck over at Alabama Ice House. This newer location is close to my office. The beef fajita Mexicana and picosa were the bomb! The pastor was solid. This place is legit! Will definitely be back often. Great tacos and friendly service at a great price.

The staff was very nice, and the food was delicious and well priced. I ordered at the bar, but paid at the gas station register, so they take credit cards unlike the famous truck. I had a pastor taco, a lengua taco, a barbacoa taco, and a fajita quesadilla. The lengua and barbacoa were flavorful and tender. The pastor was well seasoned and a little crispy. The fajita had some sauteed onions and peppers. They offered onions and cilantro at no extra charge, and their green salsa was wonderful. I will definitely be back to try their other options like chicharron, pollo poblano, and camarones.

My pics are ready in their bio. This place will rock your face off. The best tacos in Houston are in an Exxon Station - off Shepherd/Durham. It’s awesome.

Great place for authentic Mexican food. You know it's good because there is always a wait but they get the line down quick. There is also a bakery in the restaurant that you can browse around while you wait. I got the big tex burrito and it was great. The salsa that comes with the chips is so delicious, we had to buy a container to take home too. The Hercules juice was so, so good and a definite must try. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We loved the gorditas too. Whatever cheese they put on them is delicious and passes the cheese pull test. Service was amazing. All of the staff were super friendly and attentive. Our food came out very quickly too. Parking is pretty easy since they have a large parking lot behind the restaurant.

I've been chowing down at this spot since I was in their booster seats. Now as an adult I admire their consistency. The salsa and chips are the best, but my go to is their gorditas, extra meat extra cheese for me. With an agua fresca you can never go wrong. This is a Houston staple and powerhouse. Parking is vast and you'll need it as it can get pretty packed at peak hours.

If you're looking for comida auténtica that hits just right, Taqueria Del Sol on Park Place is la mera mera. This place has been serving up classic Mexican dishes for years, and it shows in every bite - from the handmade tortillas to the perfectly seasoned meats. The atmosphere is alegre y acogedor — colorful walls, friendly staff, and a laid-back vibe that makes you feel like you’re stepping into la cocina de tu abuelita. It’s casual, but there’s nothing casual about the flavor. I had a Barbarcoa Gordita — tender, juicy beef smothered in cheese, wrapped in a warm corn tortilla. ¡Delicioso! Melt-in-your-mouth magic. They don’t skimp on portions either — bien servidos and satisfying. The real surprise was the bakery section. Don’t leave without trying some pan dulce - especially the conchas. Soft, fresh, and just sweet enough to pair with a cafecito. Pure comfort. Taqueria Del Sol is the kind of place you go to when you want real Mexican food — nada Tex-Mex, just the good stuff your tía would make. Affordable, flavorful, and lleno de corazón. Recomendado 100%. Bring your appetite, your love for comida casera, and maybe a stretchy waistband. Buen provecho!

Ordered a tampiquena plate with extra meat get home to a plate with just meat and fries. No rice no tortillas no grilled onions. Manager just says ok sorry I’ll give you a discount next time. WTH doesn’t even get my info what a joke

The food is very TRADITIONAL so don't expect Tex-Mex. No queso here. That said, the carnes are very flavorful in whatever plato you pick. Only issue we experience last few visits is the female servers have an attitude. Not friendly. Seem very rushed and impatient. This last time a young guy was our server & very attentive. Pleasantly surprised so we stopped next door to buy pan dulce! Cookies not so fresh but pan dulce was!

I've been coming here since they opened up. Today was the first time that I had poor service..and the flour tortillas are now half the size they once was. I'm very disappointed. The server never brought silver ware..the server seems like he didn't want to be at work. And don't ask for a to go box, it took 15 minutes to get one. The men servers need to go back to the kitchen and put Women back on the floor. A woman has never once forgotten to bring silverware, they normally bring it with ur food or when they get ur drinks. I guess I'm going to have to start going elsewhere... And take all my HPD AND FIREMAN FAMILY WITH ME

I went to this restaurant which was way across town for me on recommendation of Chris Shepherd on eat local. It didn't disappoint. If the place is busy on a midweek it has to be good. Good Mexican food

I see why this place is so popular. Cheap and delicious breakfast tacos. The chorizo was definitely my favorite, but everything we tried was perfect. Generally the clients and staff here speak Spanish, so it's helpful to speak and understand Spanish, but not required! There's a line, but it moves quickly. Parking is a bit tricky, but even with that the experience was smooth.

Great food! Love their breakfast tacos. There is a line in the morning (Saturday around 8:20am) but it moved very quickly. The food look great, you can see them preparing your tacos. They put enough meat, eggs are good fresh. Tacos can with flour tortillas, I think you ask for corn but I didn’t try. The ladies are very nice and welcoming! Bonus points for having a bucket of red and green salsa for us to grab.

Always a line here but it moves quick. Tacos are loaded with meat and full of flavor. I had the chorizo and egg and the potato and egg and both were great. Fast service and a solid spot if you’re in a rush.

About as authentic as it gets. They have an enormous selection of choices available. I got several egg and potato. The line is always out of the door. If people are willing to wait in Houston heat, that should tell you something. I wouldn’t call these my most favorite taco in Houston as I usually go for weirder, more fusion options (think tofu or veggie). But I will definitely keep returning to this spot.

Awesome homemade tortillas, tried the bean & cheese, ground beef with onions, added cilantro, and chicken with grilled yellow and red peppers. The ground beef was so flavorful and fun to eat. Will try the breakfast tacos next. The bean and cheese was okay, add sauce.

now i understand why everyone loves this spot. the breakfast tacos are amazing and the prices are hard to beat. the bacon and egg combo hit the spot, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. most of the staff and customers speak spanish, which adds to the authentic vibe, but you’ll be fine even if you don’t. it gets busy, especially in the morning, but the line moves fast and the service is quick. parking takes a bit of patience, but it’s totally worth it once you take that first bite.

Visiting the George Brown Convention Center early on a Sunday morning looking desperately for somewhere to pick up a bite and my wife found Brothers Taco House! Wow! What a treat, the serving line was quick, food was delicious, and the staff was spot on friendly. We were in and out within 10 minutes. There is no drive thru but if there was you'd miss out the big selection of tacos varieties. Their coffee and hot sauces were also very good. We come to the convention center and few times a year, so that means we will return soon!

I've been to Guadalupana many many times, because I used to live close by & it's convenient. The food in general is solid & filling & tastes ok, but honestly not extraordinary. I've pretty much had their entire menu, but mostly gravitate towards their breakfast dishes. Their coffee is AWESOME & I've bought several bags over the years. The staff & service are super friendly & great to be around. Parking is not convenient, so avoid the rush hours. I mostly used to walk there. It's a great little place to grab a quick bite or meet a friend, but the space is somewhat limited for big parties, & it can get a bit loud, but the energy is good.

Awesome spot, we came for lunch/brunch on a Sunday.. live in the neighborhood and finally remembered to check this place out! It’s a good too for sure.. usually have to go to Pasadena or southwest area to get food like this! We loved it

We stopped by to get breakfast tacos bc the coffee shop we tried that morning didn't have food. We had to park up the road bc parking was crazy, but ordered quickly and got our food fast. The staff was friendly and the spot reminded me of a diner I used to go to as a kid. Tacos were fine, flour tortillas were better than the corn. I wish the salsa was hotter, but it had good flavor. We also got a marranito to take home.

A whole lot of choices. Tried some excellent pozole and an omelet especial. Superb refried beans. The best cup of restaurant coffee I've ever had and I've had a lot.

Got the mole enchilada and breakfast sandwhich. Pro Tip: sub the croissant bread for the almond croissant. Adds a sweetness. Don’t think. Just do it. Lots of drink options for the vampiro juice horchata and cafe.

We came for breakfast and it was delicious! Really good coffee, pozole and enchiladas verdes. It’s a bit cramped but all in all delicious food. Oh also…the almond croissant is amazing, must try!

Service was alright. Food was mediocre, the tortillas for the tacos were still cold and didn’t seem to have been placed on the comal for long. Steak fajita tacos were too chewy, but I wasn’t sure if there was an option for carne asada instead of the fajita. Horchata, Ice Coffee, and chips and homemade salsa were good!

I love coming here, but make sure if you don’t want to wait in line, I’d come very early. Mid morning you know the line is out the door, but definitely worth it. As you can see, my favorite is pork chop tacos lol Soooo yum!

Solid spot for classic, no frills tacos. The handmade tortillas are fresh and the fillings; especially the barbacoa and picadillo are flavorful, though overall the food is simple and straightforward. Service is fast but rushed and not particularly friendly, so don’t expect a warm welcome. Great value for the price, but be prepared for long lines and a very casual experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re from Houston and haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. This spot is a hidden gem! Everything is made from scratch — especially the homemade flour tortillas (they’re next level). I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, and it’s always been consistently amazing. It’s family-owned, full of heart, and serves up some of the best tacos in Houston — hands down. Be prepared to wait during busy hours, but trust me, it’s totally worth it every time.

I came here almost weekly several years back and tacos were good. But now it's different. They need to improve the taste. Service is still top knotch. Always busy tho.

My favorite place in the whole world! I have been a customer for over 20 years! And now I drive far and bring my kiddos and we enjoy these tacos every single time!

Always very tasty, great service, spicy sauce just like I like it, every time I go to Houston I try to stop by here, this time I brought my Mexican daughter and she loved it, we will definitely be back

Best breakfast tacos in Houston. No frills, basic ingredients and classic Mexican menu and taste. The flour tortillas are the perfect softness and warm.

I like that they offer a variety of spicy salsas. The food is great. Vibes are good. This was my second time going and we've had a great experience so far. My second visit was for mother's day weekend, and they gave a rose to all the mother's. It was a nice gesture.

Every weekend, we do a “Tacos Weekend” with my husband, and this place is always our favorite. I always get three tacos: Barbacoa – Soft, juicy, and full of flavor. Fried Tripe – Crispy and delicious. Great texture! Lengua– Very tender. Tastes amazing with lime. We’ve tried many taco places, but this one is the best. Simple, tasty, and always satisfying.

This little spot in Spring Branch is a pleasant surprise with the service and food. I ordered the quesabirria, and they did not disappoint. Full of flavor from the seasoning, sauce selection and consume. I was greeted with a smile, served with a smile and was checked on by multiple staff members. There were equal orders for To-go, as diners, the place was busy with both. Definitely coming back to the gem! If you're in the area, give it a try, you won't regret it.

If you want the greasyest and nastiest food you have ever eaten then this is the place for that. It doesn't matter what you order here it is all drenched in grease and too disgusting to eat.

Vibes are great, friendly staff, and food is GOOD. Great but definitely not the best. Variety of salsas to choose from. Also music is AMAZING! Seating inside and outside. Carne Asada was a bit greasy.

Absolutely delicious! I was craving street tacos and these definitely did the trick! Everything was seasoned, fresh, tender, hot, and delicious! It was absolutely perfect!

Really cute place with a nice patio and delicious food! Very friendly and helpful staff. You walk in, place your order at the counter, take a number, and pick a seat; they bring the food to you with six different salsas, and they are all delicious.

I’ve been coming here for the past 5-6 years since I moved to Houston. A buddy recommended it to me, and it instantly became my favorite taco spot to go to. But I don’t come here that often. Why is it that you ask… it’s my favorite spot after all. Their prices are just a bittttt overpriced. These 2 tacos cost me $13.41. Just a Carne Asada and add avocado…basically $14 for 2 tacos that are slightly bigger than street tacos is crazy work. Please, y’all’s prices are a bit much. I can go to another taco spot around town or a damn good taco truck and get more for less. Other than that, the vibes are immaculate. Customer service is straightforward but nothing to write home about. It’s really a “No BS” kind of spot, so you just get what you get. They’re not rude, but I feel like often times it feels as if they’re a bit too “cool for school.” Another annoying nitpick is they don’t have a phone number you can call, which is…bizarre to me. Maybe they’ve added one since this review, but I’ve never been able to find it. The deck & cover they added on the side is a really nice touch compared to the gravel that was there before. It keeps the sun from destroying your soul in the middle of summertime. And the small little shack they have on the opposite side of the deck is a whole damn vibe in the summer and whenever they have it open. You get some quality DJs in there, and it’s a super fun time. Overall, I’ll keep coming back because they’ve never given me a reason not to. This is one of the dopest spots in Houston to hit up for some tacos by far!

This place is fun for an after work drink, happy hour is $6 margs. The tacos are good but a bit dry. The 2 cheese burger and fry meal is a good deal. Fun atmosphere

Food is delicious, drinks are strong and well made. Relaxing easy no frills place …highly recommend

Victor, he did an excellent jon taking care of me and my boyfriend (also named victor) the food is delicious. As a Vietnamese, i recommend this place to my fellow asians. The tacos al pastor are bomb. The pineapple is a nice touch to their authenticity.

I stopped in for some takeout. The service was good. The food was ready quick. The roast pork burrito was delicious. I really loved the red hot sauce they gave me as well.

This is the second time in the row that I've gone to order food from this place. Which I always enjoyed, but waited almost 15 minutes for somebody to come back to the bar and take my order. There seems to be no urgency for customer service. When I left tonight there were 8 people in line waiting. Sometimes success breeds arrogance.

Cantina Barba Is a classic mezcal bar, I visited the bar at night after winding down from a fun night in the city. The food here is reasonably priced, and the ambience is pretty cozy, I personally haven’t had a chance to visit the bar in daylight but I’m willing to bet it’s prettier in the day time. Ambiance: outdoor patio 10/10!! Spacious, and vibrant at night. Indoor seating 6/10 a bit cramped, indoor seating gives off dive bar vibes. Cuisine: 10/10 classic bar food, the nachos were even better!! Price Range: reasonably priced, the chicken quesadilla was priced at $8 with a drink. Parking: 4/10 awkward real estate location, late night stiff parking. Alcohol/smoking: Alcohol/Smoking friendly Operating hours: 9AM-2AM SUN-THU, 9AM-3AM FRI & SAT, great spot to hit up late at night.

The birria tacos were absolutely fantastic — packed with flavor, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The consommé was rich and savory, just how it should be. Definitely the highlight of the meal! On the other hand, the burrito was a bit underwhelming. It looked great and came with fresh veggies and salsas, but it lacked the same bold flavor that made the tacos shine.

The food at Birria Los Primos is delicious—full of authentic flavors and well worth a visit! The location can be a bit hard to find, but once you’re there, it’s a great experience. Definitely recommend!

The birria tacos were so freaking good!!! Everything about it was amazing and Carmen was so nice and even gave us her personal recommendations since it was our first time here. Will definitely come back here again!

Joseph & Adel Hooked it up, Birria Tacos and a burrito, delicious. Lowkey spot with several other food options. Fast, fresh and fantastic! I travel all over the world and this is a spot in downtown Houston I’ll be back at. The location is underground gotta find the red doors and come downstairs, but worth the effort!

Meat was plentiful in the tacos and flavorful! I think the tortillas were a bit too soft though and broke apart in a soggy manner. Consume was okay. Priced around the same as other birria taco places nearby. Wouldn’t mind coming back.

Ordered the Birria taco and Taco de asada and we loved them!!! You order at the counter, pay and then they give you a little buzzer that goes off when it ready to go collect. They don't sell alcohol so you've to go to another bar in the room for that. Tvs showing different sports and other food options in the space. We had got a lite confused when trying to find this place. Follow the sign for underground and do down the stairs.

Hands down best birria tacos I've tasted in town! The birria is flavorful, the taco itself has plenty of meat, the tortilla is a little bit crunchy, the spicy sauce is on point. Simply delicious! Prices are affordable. Best bang for your buck!Top all of that with the best customer service provided by Jesika! She's always friendly and going above and beyond by bringing you the food to your table! She always makes sure you have an enjoyable experience!

We were waited on by three different people. Finally, the lady who waited on us was always checking in on us to make sure we were good! The service, well, it stank but the food was good. I don’t know how many times I asked the servers if they would take my payment, but kept getting ignored. Long story short, would definitely come back but I think this time I’d like a lady server over a male server as they were either deaf or just hard at hearing.

Pretty good mexican food place. You will find a mix of authentic and more americanized Mexican food in a low-profile cafeteria style. They have a little bar offering cocktails. The portions are generous, service is good. I would come back for sure. The parking lot is big enough for the size of the place. Updated: for all of you that wonder about an authentic dish, they serve "carne de cerdo con verdolagas" not every restaurant offer that.

The drink was about $14.change and it was Small and not great.Salsa is spicy just spicy not much flavor. I got chilaquiles and I mean it's chilaquiles the only problem is the beef I guess it's a Hisp thing to overcook our beef idk. I got these pieces of birrote with my chilaquiles and idk what they add to them but it made it seem I was eating raw dough.

I came here yesterday morning. It was right next to my veterinary clinic. Authentic Mexican cuisine, small hole in the wall restaurant. The service was impeccable ,wonderful workers. Lastly, the portion sizes were not as big as I hope they were, but the food is delicious.! Meal for one was less than $16.

We've been here twice, and the food has been good. We got the tinga gordita, tinga empanada, and an order of quesabirria. The salsa was good, quite spicy. Will definitely go back.

Order pancakes meal, and they gave me beans instead of pancakes, I am 20 min from them, and Tatiana states they do not sell pancakes. I do not understand why this was not told to be when I ordered the kids' breakfast plate.

Food was delicious. The beans are phenomenal 🔥the barbacoa tacos 💋🤌🏻 10/10 try this place you will not regret it.

This place is your quick know what you want or come when there’s no crowd to figure it out because the menu is GOOD, the food is GOOD and the girl who served me was nice. It was my first time and it was empty but it seems more of a Late night place and it’s open 24 hours! Was really good couldn’t even wait to give yall a picture of my taco but see the quesadilla…

For the prices they charge I was honestly super disappointed! $16 for the quesadilla combo and they gave bs tiny portions of rice and beans and made the sorriest quesadillas I’ve ever seen. Nothing like the pictures they have online at all. Never coming back here.

They forget your beans, cilantro, onion, and lemons all the time!!!! I decided to give this place one more chance and I shouldn't have. Never again. Make sure you double check the bag! I had to come back for all of my sides and the lady was upset with me even though she made the mistake… Beans come with mostly just soup! That's all the beans that came out of the whole container. And they never answer the phone.

I went for some tacos, they were not great. But worst of all, my less than 1 year old had a slight spit up, while we were dinning in, and the cook started to make disrespectful comments about how people only go to places to make a disorder. I asked him if he was referring to me and my family, and he said no. So I had plan to let it go, untill he continued to talk to a cashier near by and decided to stand next to me and my family and continued to make comments about how people are messy and only make disorders everywhere they go. I was already cleaning the area to think this place would talk smack to their customers instead of offering help. This place has no value for customer service!!!! The whole visit the cook was in the back, and only decided to come to the lobby to have a conversation with his cashier when my family had a slight accident and then cowardly deny he talking about us! Don't go hear. The place right next door is 100 % better. I have a video as proof, but I don't think the cook is the owner. If he is this place, it lacks any self-respect.

First and last time I will order from here, I really thought they knew what they were doing… they don’t! I ordered two tacos de tripa, doradas, they gave me a bunch of crumbs and were soggy as heck! And the meat was not cleaned well.. still tasted gamey. Not impressed.. they lack on the charro beans.. there were like 7 beans in my cup. This place is not it.. the lady at the window was nice though. Hope who ever comes here gets better tasting food.

Buyer beware. The prices listed is not what you pay at the window.. breakfast Taco $2.50 at tbe window $3.00 I would give them 0 star. Rice was hard and order was wrong twice. Stay away bad food. Got Food Poisoning . Place looks Dirty. Instead of management apologizing for the poor customer service they wanted through shade after customers.

Reliable street tacos! Open all night for when you have the munchies. They do charge extra if you use a card instead of cash. Soft drinks are usually a little flat so get an agua Fresca instead.

The tacos are good the Menudo it's ok, conchas with nutela are a must try so as Cafe de olla if you are looking for a desert. The atmosphere is really good, service is fast and reasonable prices. They have Brunch menu everyday and kids menu. Aguas frescas are really good.

I loved going here. The birria is always so good and the waters omg. However, they recently did some remodeling that Im just not comfortable in anymore. Not to mention, they got rid of the metal trays :( They traded it out for a weirdly angled cutting board. I dont know, but personally I missed the casual setting of everything. The times I went they would play house music instead of the chill latino music, at times it was overwhelming and loud during our meal. I'm adding my previous pictures. Again, the food top notch amazing. It's just I rather not keep asking for an extra plate cause the aesthetic is more important.

I ordered a Birria combination plate with 2 Birria tacos and 3 Street tacos. They overstuffed my tacos and the Birria tacos were normal sized and packed with meat and cheese and were crispy. I've already told my friends about this place and I ordered an hour ago. I had enough to share a taco and made a torta the next day. I just happened to drive by it and pulled up the reviews, not one lie told and their bathroom was clean.

This was a spur of the moment choice to eat at when I first came for food & since then its been a great go to for delicious Mexican food. The food options are great. I so far had the XL quesiberria with their signature aqua frescoes, the berria ramen & the 3 berria tacos with selantro, diced tomatoes & shredded lettuce on the site to add.

Food was really delicious! Place was nice & clean. Food comes out right away whatever you order doesn't disappoint.

Phenomenal breakfast tacos! They made a lot of changes to the place and the bar is cool. I wouldn’t mind chillin there and watching a game sometime. The food is spot on from what others say as well. The crew working looks like they are the usual staff, and they were pretty cool. Great neighborhood spot. I’ll be back soon!

First time here and loved it. The food is so flavorful and the portions are great. I ordered a horchata and it was huge! Will be back.

Food was not good at all. Ordered tostadas and shrimp ceviche. Tostadas had strange taste and texture was not enjoyable. Ceviche was way too sour - all ingredients didn’t taste very fresh. They have no refrigerated drinks (?!) I really don’t understand what others see in this place. Would not recommend

Super delicious food with great music and friendly staff! First, it is important to note that although there is accessible parking, there are no wheelchair friendly tables. The restroom is accessible, however. Everything I've tried has been delicious. My personal favorite is their elote!

This place is a vibe. There’s an all day lunch special for $11 that includes street corn, 5 street tacos and a refresca. Chefs kiss. The dipping sauce for the tacos is very spicy and I’m a spice girl. The margaritas are available on happy hour and they’re a great way to end your day but just get one. Customer service is great as well.

Heard good things about this place and they were true. I love street tacos and it's hard to find a restaurant that keeps them authentic, this place does a great job. Love the selection of meats and the salsa bar is my favorite part. Will return when I'm in the area fur sure.

Tacos were good and at reasonable prices. The tortillas were tasty but I do not believe home made. The beans were very tasty and I would recommend the bean and cheese taco. The pastor had a good flavor but was not the flavor bomb that I was hoping for. I will give it another try at lunch some day.

Great food. Good atmosphere. Staff is friendly and willing to answer questions. The daily specials are nice. Late dinner friendly...

Small cozy Mexican restaurant, took me back to my trip to Mexico city. The tacos were bomb. Tried one of each kind and a street corn. Definitely will be coming back to try the seafood ones.

The tacos are mid especially for the price of dang near $3 a taco. The beans is a nice touch but I've been to so many taco trucks (literally that's all I do as a lvl 8 reviewer lol) and this one isn't all that. I give 4 stars because they are lovely ladies and maybe if I try the quesabirria and I'm impressed I will change review

Read: Rude AF, Greedy No Meat Tiny Tacos Salsa taste like water & charge 50cents for another one even if you order 5🌮 I get treated like dirt every time! Always get an ugly stair or even rolled eyes :/ Aside from that they charge you 1$ in taxes! Charro beans are always super old tasting like what? Millions of Bees and flies surrounding the place landing in your food every time! Dirty! They give u the tiniest piece of lemon for a million tacos! Greedy!! Amounts of cilantro/onion and consume gets less and oilier by the day!These people are taking advantage of their customers! Not coming back! Came because it was close by! I’ve Always kind to them but they are always mean to their customers! I’ve been a loyal customer but today is the last time I’m coming!

The lady was very rude. I do not feel like coming here again. There are other better places near there.....such as Del Buey y Vaca Taqueria. They treat their clients like family!

Tacos are so delicious and crunchy I love it and great services

I personally didn’t like the area or atmosphere and the wait was 20-30 minutes. I suggest to call your order ahead if you’re in a rush. I paid 21$ for 2 corn tacos, 1 gordita, 1 small quesadilla, 1 burrito, 1 huarache and 1 large horchata. Overall, the food was good. This wouldn’t be my go to spot though but if you’re near the area, it’s worth a try.

Authentic Mexican tacos one of our favorite stops we come here often and it never disappoint We love the barbacoa 🌮

First time at this food truck. Husband and I wanted to try out 1 taco of 5 meats. (So we can try a little bit of what they had since they have a variety meat choices) Get to the window & Lady states I can only get 2 kinds of meats. Which I felt it was odd. Never had this problem before. Took about 10 minutes to receive food, aside from waiting to order. Ordering was another thing. Lady would take orders and then finish getting everything prepared. And then come back to take more orders. When I received my tacos, I thought all of them had the cheese which now I’m seeing it’s something you ask for? I think it would have been nice if the lady would ask with cheese. But ehh it’s was ok. Not the best tacos.

If you are looking for some cheap authentic Mexican breakfast tacos in the area, look no further. My Mexican friend took me to this hidden gem, and I was absolutely amazed. Coffee and tacos were on point, and they were cheap asf! Shiiiiiiiii... they are using the same ingredients from el tiempo! This is an absolute steal, you guys. There was plenty of parking, but it's close to the buddy's house, so we just walked over. Next time we do a run, and it's early enough to get breakfast tacos again, we will for sure be coming back here!

Food is top quality. I go for the tacos. The service can improve. The ladies working the cashier can sometimes have an attitude or seem too busy to even notice you. Not everyone but this particular short older lady is. Maybe she's just set in her ways and that's just her. Either way, she can be nicer.

I hate to give a Ninfa's restaurant 2 stars, but my experience was so terrible today, I have to say something. I ordered the fajita pack, with my mouth watering, and also ordered extra tortillas, a flauta with no lettuce (which should have been served with tomato), extra green sauce, and extra grilled onions. Note that my fajitas were supposed to come with a grilled pepper, also, which is one of my favorite things at El Tiempo. The only thing that tasted like El Tiempo was the refried beans. The rice was pretty good too. The beans were not mashed enough, however, and lacked the smoothness I'm used to at El Tiempo restaurants. The flauta was good, if not completely greasy, which took away from my enjoyment of it, along with the fact that it was missing tomatoes. The fajitas were completely inedible. The beef was gristly, and almost impossible to chew. The chicken was so dry by appearance that I never even tried to eat them. Not only that, both kinds of meat had a weird pink hue to them. The grilled onions in the container with the meat were barely grilled (not cooked enough at all), and the extra grilled onions they gave me were sitting in some weird smelling brown juice, and didn't look fresh - as if they had taken the scraps that were thrown in the side of the grill and given them to me. I was missing red sauce completely, along with the grilled pepper. The only reason I didn't give it one star is because the other food was decent, and the green sauce was excellent. This may be a place to order breakfast tacos from, but I do NOT recommend the fajitas.

Getting the food was fast but the food on the hotline was overcooked and greasy. It wasn't very appealing, especially for $4-$5 tacos. I don't recommend. The esthetics inside seem run down and the tables were sticky. No refills.

Got there 45 mins before closing and they were out of all the meats we wanted. The people working there were all cleaning and just focused on getting out of there at 4 pm sharp, not interested in helping customers. We left without ordering and will not be back.

My coworker brought me here for lunch and I bought tacos, must say for the price the food was really good and the tacos were extra stuffed

Sometimes, the flies can be out of control. Sucks if they are and you need to protect your food while you pay if you dine-in.

The corn tortillas are awesome. Get the chicken tacos, flavorful and seasoned.

Had some amazing food in Houston, but Boombox Taco was by far the best!! Great customer service, awesome truck—and amazing menu! The tacos al pastor and quesadilla were great, and the red sauce was absolutely to die for!!

Visiting from out of town and stopped at the truck yard and there was boombox tacos! It was the Juicy Angus Steak tacos for me, seasoned to perfection!! If you're ever in Houston, make sure you try to find them. You won't be disappointed.

I used Boombox Taco to serve my guests at my 90s theme party this past Saturday, perfect touch to my theme! The Guys were great, had everyone laughing! At the end of the party my guests were raving about the Tacos! They were delicious! Many people said the best they’ve had in Houston!!!! I definitely would recommend them and plan to use them again for future events:)

They have the best vegan tacos that I have EVER HAD, out of every vegan and non vegan taco, in my life. Seriously. Every Tuesday at Axelrad. You HAVE TO try them

Hands down, this is the best Taco Truck in Houston, not only they have a variety of options but they also make the best Salsa Roja and Salsa Verde

BEST TACOS in the galaxy!!!! Yes I said it! Come by and check out the coolest truck ever and get the pastor or vegan chorizo! Great options for everyone and good vibes too! These guys will become your friends :)

We recently went for dinner with our family of four and ordered two 2-meat plate combos with two sides each. Since we arrived at 8 PM, most items were already sold out, so we were only able to try the brisket and venison sausage. We thought the restaurant closed at 11 PM, but it turns out that's just for the patio, not the main dining area. ***On a positive note, dogs are welcome on the patio, which we loved!! While the food tasted great, the portions were surprisingly small?!? Especially for the price! The brisket, in particular, was disappointing; it was cut so thinly it was almost like bacon scraps. The sides were really good! We had mac and cheese, beans, corn, and coleslaw but they were also quite small. They were out of bread, but offered buns instead, which was okay. Overall, the flavor was there, but the portions don't justify the $73 price tag tbh. We really hope to go again earlier in the day next time so we can try the other meats and sides that were sold out. Perhaps then, we can even change our review!

Let me start by telling you.. don’t judge a book by its cover and me either for that matter cause I went for breakfast and stayed for lunch on a Sunday. Breakfast was really good! Tried the brisket egg and cheese with potato, chorizo egg and cheese with potato, and jalapeño sausage egg and cheese..all 3 tacos were good. Tortillas were soft & fresh. If I had to rate them in order: 1. Chorizo 2. Brisket 3.Sausage. Lunch (pictured) was even better. We ordered the 3 tacos: 2 chicken verde & 1 brisket, a 3 meat plate with brisket, turkey and pork rib & the Wagyu beef rib. Now in all honesty the sides could be better, but to be clear the flavor is there. Just that the mac is a little loose & all the green beans were sautéed soft. But I literally couldn’t complain about ANYTHING! As a native Houstonian, they are definitely in my top 3 in Texas. ** Next Day Update: (Again..don’t judge me) Tried the bacon egg and cheese with potato and beans. It is definitely fighting for the number one spot. And I also failed to mention the chorizo is great with the beans as well.

We both ordered two meats with two sides and tried a bit of everything. Pulled pork, pork ribs, venison sausage & brisket. All amazing! Sides corn, beans, green beans & mac and cheese. All great! They have a little counter after paying where you can add pickled veg and top up your juice. The line was huge when we arrived but it moved really quickly so don't be put off by that. Loads of seats and quick service.

Loved this traditional Texas BBQ joint. Get on line order your food at the counter. They give you a tray with your food like you’re in a cafeteria and you find a seat. We went early (5:30pm) and there were a few seats in the family style seating area. It looked like seats free up and are taken quickly as people don’t linger. I had chicken tacos and grabbed some complimentary carrots and pickle from the sauce area. They were amazing. My daughter had the 2 meat dinner with brisket and jalapeño sausage with potato salad and the corn mix — also amazing! Would definitely go back.

Gotta love bbq in Texas, especially in Midtown/Montrose Houston. The service was friendly and welcoming. The beer was cold, served in iced pint glasses. Our bartender was super helpful and gave us a few samples before we found our perfect draft/draught beer for our meal, a local favorite, Blue Tile IPA. From a non-Texan perspective, we thought the bbq was amazing. We tried the brisket, venison sausage and chicken. The sides were great, we went with Mac & cheese and coleslaw. The pickle buffet was to die for. The in-house bbq sauce was delicious. Pro-tip: Don’t miss out on the salsa in the pickle bar! The ambiance was chill, laid back and welcoming. The weather was great so we sat outside, can’t beat November Houston weather.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Brisket & Beef Ribs — True Texas BBQ Experience Pit Room BBQ is a must-visit spot for any barbecue lover in Houston! The brisket here is absolutely phenomenal — tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. And don’t miss the beef ribs — they’re massive, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Hands down some of the best I've ever had. The restaurant has that authentic, no-frills Texas charm with a lunchroom-style setup that adds to the character and vibe. It feels like you're stepping into a true Texan BBQ joint, not some over-polished chain. Yes, the parking lot is tight (especially during peak hours), but it's absolutely worth the effort. I’ll definitely be coming back — again and again!

"Solid BBQ Spot with Standout Meats and a Sweet Finish!" The Pit Room served up some seriously good BBQ. The ribs were tender with just the right amount of smoky flavor, the brisket was juicy and well-seasoned, and the pulled pork was flavorful and perfectly shredded. The real surprise hit? The chocolate chip cookie — warm, gooey, and a must-try dessert! The sides were just okay, nothing that really stood out, but the outdoor seating area more than made up for it — spacious, shaded, and perfect for enjoying a laid-back Texas BBQ meal. Overall, a great spot for quality smoked meats and a relaxed vibe. We’ll be back for more brisket…and definitely another cookie! Also, the line was out the door long so we called and ordered for take-out. Our food was ready in 15 mins and we just ate outside and people watched!

The tacos are good. But if you want corn tortillas make sure to ring the bell. It was my first time going and I had no idea that was like a thing and one of the guys was nice enough to make the accommodation for me and get me a corn tortilla since the lady who took my order was very set on not giving me a corn tortilla. But the food was really good. Get ready to be in a really long line definitely worth it. And it sucks that they are not open on Sundays 🥲

Paid $26 for 7 tacos and 2 cocas. No line so we walked right up then again no idea there was a way for the line. Workers were friendly. Except the guy who picked up my plate even though I still had food in it and didn't even give me a chance to say "hey I'm still eating that". Tacos- the barbacoa even though they made it "a la mexicana" it lacked flavor. Same for the bacon and egg. Tortillas def need a bit more cooking. Doubt I'll be back.

Waiting in line we rang the bell to get corn tortillas for our tacos. The corn tortillas are a worthwhile upgrade. Select your filling, our group of five tried a lot of them over two breakfasts and they were all excellent. Orange juice was freshly squeezed and amazing. There will likely be a queue anytime of day, but we'll worth it.

Really good tacos and great service! The line went quickly and the tortillas were fresh. Will definitely be back.

Took my team there for an early lunch and we all enjoyed our tacos! We will definitely be back and telling all our friends and family about this hidden humble gem.

In my personal opinion, this is the best Taco House in Houston. There are some others that definitely serve amazing tacos but the overall environment and friendliness of Titas takes it over the top. When you walk up to the big Blue house and into the front door you are immediately blown away by the amazing art painted on literally every surface of the interior. The line is usually 15+ people deep but it moves quick thanks to the amazing staff behind the serving counter. You’ll hear people converting over their tacos, spatulas tinging on the flat top and voices galore telling the staff what they want on today’s tacos. The owner and his family run Titas with the upmost personal family friendly professional personalities you’ll ever come across. It’s truly a must see Houston treasure nestled near the beautiful town of Old Humble. I’m a daily visitor due to the always changing variety of tacos that never disappoint!

Food is super delicious 🤤 the environment is good vibes. Very satisfied with this place!

Isabella does NOT need to work here, all the other employees have great attitudes. She is the downfall of the establishment, first she puts customers on hold and forgets then when we call back she tells us she was busy. I walk into the establishment only one customers sitting eating, then I ask for my order and she says she doesn’t want to give it and literally walks away leaving me at the counter ! WORSE IVE EVER HAS EXPERIENCED AT TACOS A GO GO AND I visit multiple locations ! Do better Isabella unacceptable treatment to customers !

Was in the area and stopped by here to grab a quick bite. The service was great, the cashier/server was super helpful with our questions! We got about 4 tacos and the chips and salsa, the tacos were quite big and the chips and salsa were very good. I personally thought the tacos were okay, and I also wished the sauce bar had a spicier sauce, but that is completely personal preference! Overall, the restaurants vibe was very nice and aesthetic, will definitely be back! :)

One of my favorite taco spots and I can luckily walk there! My favorite is the breakfast taco with egg whites, potatoes and onions. They have many vegan and vegetarian items available and you can customize almost everything on their menu. Interesting decor. Visually stimulating. They have karaoke every Friday too.

The tacos I got were okay, but the tater tot nachos were awesome! My family members tacos looked better, so I think I just got the wrong thing. Would definitely get the tachos (tot nachos) again. The horchata was pretty good, and the soda bottle lamps added a really cool vibe. Hope to come back if I'm in the area.

Absolutely love this spot! The service is always amazing — everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The food is great, and the vibe is even better. Definitely check it out on Fridays for karaoke from 7 to 11 PM — it’s such a fun time. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic experience at Tacos A Go Go Midtown! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, perfect for a casual meal or a night out with friends. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic and tasty tacos!

I got the brisket and fish taco plate (rice and black refried beans) it was good! The staff is super friendly and helpful.

I wish I could give the restaurant a better rating, but I can't do it in good faith. The food was good (not exceptional, but pretty good overall), and the ambiance is nicely decorated, with friendly staff. But the main issue is that black mold was visible in the fountain drink station. Primarily in the ice dispenser. Since it could lead to some people getting sick, for something that is basic maintenance/cleaning, I have to give it 1 star.

it does not get more amazing than this place! for Real! it’s amazing here. the vibes are good, the holiday decore is so fun, food came out quick, the service was amazing, it looks like a restaurant not a white room. the shrimp quesadilla slaps and the mexican candy drink is top tier, trust me. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and it still tastes just as good couple decades later. this is a must go

Great Experience at 100% Taquito 🌮 I absolutely love 100% Taquito! The place has very reasonable prices. The tacos are delicious, offering authentic flavors that are sure to satisfy any craving. Their margaritas are also top-notch, making it a perfect spot for both food and drinks. Overall, it’s a wonderful place with good prices, good tacos, and great margaritas. Highly recommended!

I was there to hear the mariachis for Mexican Independence Day. First and foremost, the mariachis were advertised to perform from 6 to 9 p.m. The times were advertised with a flyer at the restaurant plus on Facebook. They didn't come until 7 p.m. I rushed to get there by 6 p.m. to grab a table. The place wasn't crowded at all. Perhaps it's because it was a Monday. Furthermore, I wanted to take my Dad who's in his 80s and enjoys mariachis. Through Facebook messenger, they had told me they don't reserve tables. When I arrived, a big section was reserved for the family of the owner. I understand that part. But there was a second table on the second row reserved too. I decided to order a pineapple margarita. They cost $9 with house tequila. That's pricey for the small one. And it was nothing to write home about. For my meal, I ordered black bean sopes with no onions. They're ok. They forgot the cilantro. And the sopes tend to be dry. I was craving something sweet and got a tres leches slice. Their cake is delicious. However, it didn't come with the mini Mexican flag nor colored red and green sugar it had been advertised as. My friend did enjoy her tacos thoroughly. She's Mexican and says they're really authentic. The mariachis hired to perform at the restaurant for Mexican holidays always put on a great show.

The food is ok but not phenomenal. The portion sizes are stingy and if you want something it's an up charge. Despite paying the up charge the portion is stingy and not worth paying for. In that case you are better off going elsewhere. How are you going to have a torta that typically comes with beans & cheese without those ingredients and expect the customer to pay for them? Same thing with the flautas they typically come with cream, cheese, lettuce & avocado but charge for those things? It's just not worth the hype you are most definitely better off going to an authentic Mexican restaurant.

Came here for a quick lunch. This place has plenty of seating inside and outside, you have to order at the front and then they call your order for you to come get it. The place is decorated but feels a bit stuffy. It was very warm when we were there so they definitely need to adjust their AC. The tacos came out fast and they were delicious, the salsa was spicy which I LOVE.

The minute you walk in you’re greeted with a. Festive atmosphere. Next the service is quick and on point. The food is great and recommend the chicken sopes and chips and salsa. Get the molcajete fresh and warm.

My favorite tacos in Houston. Every single time it hits. You can’t go wrong with any of the meat choices, but I go with the Pastor, Birria, and Chorizo. It’s all hot and fresh, and they actually fill the tacos. Grab a cold beer and enjoy the salsa bar as well. I always miss pictures because I’m too excited for the food, but here’s a few as well. Highly recommend!

Found this place , just passing by and we had to try it. The margaritas here are so good. They have fruit in them, and damn they are delicious. We ate the torts and the birria tacos, the food was also delicious. You sit outside , just watching the cars go by.What a relaxing place to go chill

The only issue I have is I believe for the price the quantity does not match BUT the QUALITY is top tier. It good freshly made food to the point the flavors hold up even a 1hr or 2 later. The service was average like nothing extravagant but the ladies were nice and patient. The atmosphere is unique and the connected bar on the other side has a good vibe to it as well. I think they would benefit from a like happy hour price system concerning the food to just up sales but otherwise they are GREAT

Well, it turns out that Brother in Law was hungry 😋 again after eating Lunas Pizza so we ended up at La Calle. Better tacos 🌮 here in H-Town…. Better than Rio Grande City’s. That speaks volumes.

This taco spot in Houston is very good plus the customer service was top notch, definitely did not mind the wait at all and they have a very nice and clean dine in area for the family with a nice friendly environment.

Awful experience. **Spend your hard earned money here at your own risk.** My husband and I both ordered the street taco plates. We walked to the bar side to eat. The tacos are super salty and lacked real flavor. I rate the food 2/5. I decided to order a frozen lime margarita at the bar. After paying I realize the total is 12.99 on a drink advertised as $10.99 before tax. The drink rang up as $12 before "tax" and $12.99 after "tax" This didn't make sense (what happened to the drink that was $10.99?) Also this was approx. 6oz pour which is tiny. I'm familiar with how taxes are calculated and based on the Harris County restaurant/on-premise alcohol tax rates the receipt did not make sense. This restaurant is profiting by adding money to your bill that can not be identified. It is not an auto gratuity, service charge, or tax. It is simply an attempt to overcharge patrons that aren't paying attention and is unacceptable. I asked the cashier and the bartender why my drink advertised as $10.99 totaled to $12.99. These are the responses I received: 1. The 'frozen drinks' price advertised is not for margaritas. I asked what other frozen drinks do they offer. They said none. 2. Because my margarita was served in a glass instead of foam cup. (I did not ask for glass) Also why would they charge more for a much smaller glass cup that is reusable? 3. Because I didn't purchase the margarita in the morning i.e prices change throughout the day 4. After several excuses that didn't make sense the bartender did apologize and admit that they don't ACTUALLY know and said she would ask the manager. I saw her speak with him and he never came over to clarify the pricing to my husband and I 4. I don't blame the workers. This has been implemented by the owners and they need to be held accountable. After reading other reviews this is an issue in their establishment and also illegal. Do better, Tacos La Calle. It is unethical to take advantage of paying customers that CHOOSE to support your business. Failing to be transparent for a quick buck will surely be their downfall.

Rating: 4.3 / 5 --- Want top dish and cocktail recommendations?

The quality of the food is satisfactory; however, the pricing appears excessive. I ordered a menudo, Chico, and found the portion considerably smaller than expected. The grande size did not align with the larger portions I am accustomed to. In conclusion, it seems that the establishment prioritizes profit over value. Some alternative venues provide comparable or superior cuisine at much more reasonable prices.

Alamo Tamales is a beloved place for Lunch in the Northside area of Houston. I believe is a bit overpriced and competition around offer same quality food. Taste is great. Panaderia is part of the offerings. Place is very clean and well-kept. Ample parking, plenty of seating.

3.3 stars. Stopped in to pick up some tamales. Prices were fair. Lots to choose from though. We ended up getting a half dozen sweet corn tamales which were okay. We also picked up a half dozen chicken tamales which were also standard. Friendly employees and well organized operation. Just not quite sure what the fuss and hype are about.

Have tried only tamales here so far and they are not the best but we like them. My wife thinks tamales we have had in Houston were small-ish and dough was overly seasoned for her taste. Friendly staffers. Nice atmosphere. It is sort of cafeteria-style; want to try more of their offerings like tacos or empanadas. They have a bakery, too; it would be nice if more of the bakery foods were labelled, or maybe we just need to learn more about those offerings, ha.

Coworkers always want to eat here for lunch. Food served quick due to it being pre-made and under heat lamps. Can get pretty busy with long line. Ladies behind counter seems to rush me when I need time to read the extensive menu or see what's on the line. Dislike the fact of only bottled drinks served instead of refillable fountain drinks. Ordered beef fajita tacos which were pretty good.

Came here on Thursday morning and the barbacoa tastes nasty and had a lot oil dripping. Called them and the manager wanted me to bring it back so she can inspect it first and determine if I can get my money back. For them to be busy on the weekends they should refund then money back for their mistake.

My father loves this place since he used to work and pass by daily...I never got to try it as a kid so as an adult I was absolutely not disappointed!!! Super authentic food flavors and selections...Drinks, cakes, desserts and a huge inside able to accommodate many!! NawfSide H*Town this is the spot!!! Tamale heaven is an understatement!! Go see for yourself TX!!

This place is definitely over priced... but the food is really good! We ordered nachos, ceviche, and the fajita parilla. The fajita was very tender and flavorful. My family would come back. Service was ok, our waiter misinformed us about drinks, didn't seem to know the menu well, but she was nice overall. Atmosphere was awesome!!

Came here around 1pm on a Monday and we were seated right away. Our waiter was fast with bringing our chips and salsas out (delicious by the way!!), and we placed an order for brisket nachos - we had no idea they were half off on Mondays, so they came out to about $12.50. The dish was HUGE and it is definitely one of my fave appetizers now!!! The brisket had a great smoky flavor that paired really well with the cream, bbq sauce, and onions it came with. I got a burrito for my entree with chicken fajita, which came out to about $20. The burrito already had beans and rice inside of it, but the dish still came with a side of each. I chose the burrito to be topped with queso (included) and I wished I ordered it on the side because it was a little overpowering and drenched the burrito. Still, it was VERY tasty and I would definitely order it again. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a great food experience!

We had a wonderful evening at Candente Mexican Restaurant while hosting my cousin visiting from Monterrey. The food was everything we hoped for — flavorful, generous, and beautifully plated. From the enchiladas smothered in rich chili gravy to the crispy flautas with fresh guacamole, every dish had that comforting Tex-Mex touch with authentic flair. The ceviche with avocado was light and refreshing, while the sizzling molcajete brought bold, smoky flavors to the table. Chips and queso were the perfect starter, and the rice and beans rounded everything out just right. The drinks made the evening even more special — the Mangonada, michelada Beer was a fun and refreshing twist, the Jalapeño Margarita had just the right amount of spice, and the Premium Mezcal was smooth and full of character. Service was warm and attentive, and the lively atmosphere made it the perfect setting to share stories, laugh, and enjoy a family evening together.

Delicious food and great service. Atmosphere was also nice but we had to sit outside in uncovered area which was not as nice as covered outdoor space. We enjoyed the fajitas- chicken and pork. Sides were also delicious.

Fajita perfection! I’m not a fan of steak and I ate more steak than chicken. The chicken was delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection. I’m not sure a better fajita exists! The grilled onions may have changed my life. Perfect blend of flavors and textures. I highly recommend this restaurant.

First timers to Candente, place seems to be a popular choice when going out. It was a full house on our visit. The outside seating patio was beautiful as well. Overall, we enjoyed it. Service was good, we didn't have anything major occur. The food was hit or miss depending on what you order. From the start, the salsa is delicious! Both had wonderful flavors and would want to know the recipe to make it at home. It's really good. The sad part is the hard chips that come with it. Know this is a staple at some establishments. However, a customer should have to feel like the chip could break a tooth or slice a gum. The 7 layer dip , with no layers was a miss for us. The fajita nachos, another miss. The chips don't help these dishes in any way again. The Ribs - get them and thank me later. By far some of the best ribs I've had ever. But would also never expected it to be from a Tex Mex spot in town. The 3 ceviche - tostadas were a favorite of our group. The rib eye fajitas, to me was just a cut up steak sliced to presentation. It had nothing more than a steak flavor. No Marinade - No Seasoning. While I get Tex Mex it does occur, typically there something other than steakhouse presentation. Go with the Skirt steak, it's much softer of a cut. The rest holds true between the skirt & ribeye. Pro Tip- The parking here is terrible! If you don't want your vehicle scratched, hit, or worse. Don't park in the parking garage. Trucks, SUVs, etc shouldn't be allowed. People were taking up two spots because they weren't able to fit in the Compact parking. Just park in the street and walk back down. Think some of the dishes could use some refinement and could be a hit or miss for some. Over all it's good, just not great. What were your favorites? How was your visit? Until next time!

Flavor was great. Meat is fantastic, but small portions. Service was just good, nothing special. Wait was 30 minutes, but hostess was not texting customers when their table was ready. Two sets of customers were passed over in addition to us. Hostess staff did not do a good job.

I am a regular at Villa Arcos. Ever since they re-opened some years ago. I order once per week or twice, early in the morning for 7am meetings. So, my orders go from 30-35 tacos every time . Their tacos are really good, they are generous with the sizes so you do get what you pay for. Now, the only issue for me is that no matter how long in advance I place my order, when I arrive to pick up, they aren’t ready yet. If I call the order in, or I place it online… same thing. And the lady who’s always there early before 7am shes always making me faces bc I’m rushing them, she gets so bothered. Well, I’m sorry lady… I have somewhere to be on time. Can’t be late ! I think my weekly orders aren’t good enough for you. I switched from ordering from brothers taco bc theirs are so greasy. But, with a broken heart, I might have to go back to them again. ***My only issue is timing, not the quality of their tacos***

Horchata latte was not great. Tacos were good. Good customer service. Latte was expensive. Tacos were decent price.

Okay, But Nothing Special - 3 Stars The food here was... fine. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't memorable. I ordered the beef tips, and while they were cooked properly, they were surprisingly bland. Needed a lot more seasoning, in my opinion. Overall, it was an average meal, perfectly acceptable if you're looking for something quick and easy, but don't expect to be wowed.

Love this place! It’s a must try in Houston. I usually get their breakfast tacos which are a classic, but decided to try the carne guisada for the first time. It was flavorful, but could have been a bit more tender. I will however be back because the service is spectacular and I love just sitting outside and enjoying the atmosphere. If you go don’t skip out on getting some take home goodies (desserts).

I enjoy coming to Villa Arcos for the best breakfast tacos!! I was introduced to Villa Arcos by my stepdad & I’m glad I was. I enjoy visiting them for their breakfast tacos, it’s my favorite item from their menu. Their previous menu did have more items to choose from but I’m content with the new menu items available. If anything, I’m glad they reopened as I thought they were permanently closed. They do have vegetarian options for those in need. They have both inside and outside seating. On weekends it can get hectic and you might have to wait but it’s worth the wait. They cook most of their tacos from scratch in a cast iron pan, you literally can hear the stainless steel spatula steering all of the ingredients together, be patient. You pair the tacos with the green and red salsa, I add both, smh but I can’t help it. Sometimes the green salsa is spicier but both salsa’s enhance the flavor of the tacos. They also created a rewards program for their members which you can redeem with them. Give them a try, they’ve been around for decades!!!

These are some delicious breakfast tacos! We tried a few different options and they were all delicious. I really like the barbacoa. The salsa was also flavorful and good.

I use to come here back in the day when it was older folk working here the food was hands down great. Homemade. They closed for a bit the I seen on google that they were back open. I went earlier today and seen nothing but young ppl working there and the food is bland and garbage 🗑️ and they too expensive for some no effort into seasoning and fully cooking the flour tortilla. It was bs I will not be returning. I was looking forward to that great taste this place is known for but I guess them older folks gone or retired.

Very flavorful and well seasoned steak tacos. They only have beef - fajita or tongue for meat options. The tacos are cheap and delicious. I noticed a lot of people ordering the plate which I’ll have to try next time. They also have agua frescas and yes they’re cash only.

El Taconaso as excellent food, highly recommended. The place is always packed, and they take one order at a time, which makes service very slow. Better management could improve the experience and their business significantly.

I consider el taconazo as one of the food staples of Houston, a hidden gem that you shouldn't miss. There is no bs, just delicious lengua and barbacoa. There are more items, but this is always my go-to. Do I need to say more? The lengua is always tender and delicious. They also have a plate with cheese, which I also recommend a lot! But if you're on the run, make a quick pit stop, I recommend the tacos fuel up your engine and hit the road to continue with your day!

This location used to be the spot for lunch break and I was so excited to try it again after a year but I was disappointed. The flavor wasn't like how it was back in the day nor the beans we were left disappointed when eating the food.

Some of the best tacos in all of Houston. Value for the money spent is great. The tacos are full of flavor, perfect moisture and not dry. The salsa was spicy but not so spicy that it overpowers the flavor of the meat. I would definitely go back if I find myself in that area.

Wow! This place packs some flavor! The prices are great and the food is awesome. The Trompo was flavorful and tender. The fajita was a over average in taste but well above average in tenderness. Great taco stop for anyone in the area. Fast and friendly. They do speak fluent English for those that can’t speak Spanish.

Coming from San Antonio, last thing I wanted was Mexican food. But this place is a winner!! Off train line, fast service (line went QUICK), good size portion (and im a big guy that can eat), very affordable and food was excellent!! Plus I loved the vibe as many ate on top of hoods or tailgates. Whenever im back in H-town this place will defintely be on my to eat-at list!!

Been coming here for over a decade! I’m glad to see they upgraded the site. I have noticed prices have gone up but so has everywhere else but you have inflation to thank for that. These tacos are a still worth every penny. I always get their tacos de fajita with everything and chicken quesadilla also can’t for get the Horchata and agua de Jamaica it’s the best!

Be advised… I paid $36 for 8 tacos and 1 drink. I ordered here many times before the price hike and they always included avocados but this time they didn’t put in the avocado. Why would I pay so much for basic tacos???? Yes the meat is good but for how much I’m paying I expect to get everything. Check your order before leaving or you’ll be left disappointed like I am. Shame on this business for cutting corners. If you didn’t have any avocados then you should had let us know before ordering. You lost a loyal customer.

Always enjoy this place, have been a customer for over 8 years. That being said, it’s getting to the point where the high prices will eventually choke out a lot of the regulars and or generally frequenting. It’s cheaper for me to eat K-BBQ next door with two people than it is for me to order 8-10 tacos here, oh well.

Very expensive for what you get. The burrito tasted fine, but was not even remotely worth the $17 price tag the small size. The elote was a major let down with the $7 price and tiny portion. It seemed more like lightly season canned corn that was then watered down.

Been coming to this truck a long time, I want to say around 10 years, I eat at a lot of trucks, this truck is the gold standard of great taco trucks. They have always had the best fajita around, always been quality, usually a wait because it is that good. Worth every penny. Watching them expand makes me so proud, this is the American dream.

My second time there and the food quality was good. This time they took a very long time to prepare the food and the tacos were pilled up on top of each other carelessly with all the meat and vegetables pushed out of the tortillas pilled in a corner. I’ll give them another chance though.

Plenty of space, parking. Great food and personal. Prices are a bit high but food is delicious.

Everything was good, except one little thing.... I went in for a caldo de res. It had great flavor and it didn't have tomato like other places. It was straight beef broth. Like it suppose to be, BUT, the corn was not fresh. It's was frozen. And that was a very disappointing. How are they going to use everything fresh and then use frozen corn.

Excellent breakfast tacos packed with tasty ingredients. I ordered chorizo/ potato. Ham/egg/cheese. Jalapeño sausage/ egg. The sausage wasn’t as spicy as I would expect but still had a good flavor. Friendly staff!

$10 breakfast burrito with no eggs? The breakfast burrito was all beans & potatoes. Same for the breakfast torta. Used to be my favorite breakfast spot on the East side :(

Came here for menudo but wish I hadn't. It wasn't flavorful, and you can tell the tripe hadn't been cleaned well. I ordered a margarita that was also bland and I'd be surprised if it was made with actual tequila. The service was also very poor and sporadic, but the worst was the cleanliness. The floor was littered with food scraps and crumpled napkins under and around every table, and the bathroom was so bad my husband warned me not to use it. I won't be back.

Every dish I get from here is delicious. Made with care. I get the Tlalpeno soup all the time for lunch and sometimes more. The staff is nice and accommodating. Stop here for any meal, you will be satisfied with the portion size, flavors and service!

I love this place! It's my go-to whenever I need a pick-me-up at a great price. The food is tasty, the prices are affordable, service is fast, and they play fun music across different genres (1980s, to merengue, to Bruno Mars lol). Highly recommend!

The margarita came out first- it was big and delicious! By the time my food came out I had a nice little buzz. The quesadilla was amazing- perfectly made. The salad bowl was different but great. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything exactly like it. It had lettuce, sour cream, tomato’s, peppers, rice, and your choice of meat. My favorite of everything was definitely the veggie taco!! The veggies were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I literally can’t wait to go back.

I came here with my husband and we enjoyed our time here. We both got quesadillas which were delicious. We also ordered chips that came with a green and red sauce. The place is on the smaller side so be mindful when coming on a busy day.

I went to this taco place and everything was good. The food was tasty, and the tacos had a lot of flavor. The service was nice and fast. The place was clean and comfortable. I would go again!

Swung by my favorite birria taco spot! Wish it was closer to Richmond. I order the quesabirria tacos without the queso and they did a lovely job and also gave me a green and red sauce. They honored my birthday coupon and I was grateful I tipped them. Give this place a try, super delicious and quick birria tacos!!

if you’re in the area definitely won’t be disappointed. very clean, friendly staff. the food was really good. had the cucumber lemonade 10/10. Also ordered the birria ramen. wish the cheese was more melted. kind of gave the tacos a feeling like they’re cold.

An okay place for Birria. There was nothing too spectacular about this place. We also got the asada and pastor tacos and unfortunately the meat was dry… even with salsa and lime. The churros on the other hand were good! If we’re craving birria and we’re in the area we would go, otherwise I would just come here for the churros.

This is our first time trying TJ Birria and I can without a doubt say we will be coming back! We ordered the Volcano shrimp tacos and the Birria Ramen Combo. The tacos are perfect and my fiancés first words of his review was "Mmmmm" with a mouth full of his Birria Ramen. Service was great and quick! Can't wait to come back 🤤🔥😍

If you’re looking for a spot that nails both flavor and comfort, TJ Birria Y Mas is a must-visit. I recently tried the birria ramen combo and was blown away. The ramen itself is rich, savory, and packed with authentic birria flavor, making every bite deeply satisfying. The combo comes with two birria tacos that are tender, juicy, and perfectly complemented by fresh onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime-truly a feast for the senses. What really elevated the meal was the cucumber lemonade. It’s incredibly refreshing, with just the right balance of sweetness and tang, making it the perfect pairing for the bold flavors of the birria dishes. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the service is impressively quick, so you never have to wait long to dig in. Whether you’re a birria enthusiast or new to the trend, TJ Birria Y Mas delivers on every front-delicious food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu!

I ordered a beef birria taco and a lamb birria taco. They’re ok. My wife ordered a Al pastor taco and a desebrada taco. She liked the desebrada taco, the Al pastor, not so much. We will return to try the seafood since we believe that is their strength. They have 4 different salsas but I would have liked a red chili salsa for the birria tacos.

Fantastic price and good quality, legit Mexican food. Their staff is very friendly and accommodating, this is definitely a place where you get more than you expect for the dollar. I will be back, probably for more Al Pastor. One of their salsas is amazing, so it’s worth the wait when you get chips and salsa like this.

I went here after doing some research on where to get tacos. The food looked pretty good so I wanted to try it anyway, but I learned that they have $1.25 tacos all day on Wednesdays. Specials - $1.25 tacos after 3pm on Tuesdays - $1.25 tacos all day Wednesday - Other daily specials for each day The special does not include the special meat tacos, but there are plenty of other good regular meats to choose from. Note that older reviews will say $1 tacos but they are now $1.25. Location On Bellaire. It's located in a strip mall with easy parking. Parking lot is a little beat up but that's typical for the area. Inside The inside is pretty standard. They've got big TVs. They started playing music when I was there which was nice and loud. It's clean. Service Service was attentive and kind. I was checked on regularly. Food When you dine in, they serve chips and various salsas. I ordered beef and al pastor tacos. They came with lime. The beef was alright but al pastor were pretty good. Tacos weren't greasy like some places. Sauces They have sauce bottles at the tables and I did like them both. The red sauce that can with the chips were good. In total there were 5 different sauces for me - 3 from the chips, and 2 at the table. I'd definitely come for these tacos again. They have a large menu and the prices are good but I just think their tacos for $1.25 on Tuesday and Wednesday can't be beat.

Delicious real tacos and garnachas! My favorite so far is the sope with chicharrón en salsa verde. Mouth watering. The quesabirrias are also to die for.

I ordered the Barbacoa Tacos. They were exceptional. The onions and cilantro were fresh. The pickled carrots were seasoned well! Chefs Kiss! I will be back to this gem!!

Staff was helpful and nice. My food was excellent. It was a pork enchilada-like dish, but very simple without any cheese…just the rolled tacos and the purple pickled onions. My son loved his tacos. So good…

Food is really good. It has authentic Mexican flavor, with typical Mexican dishes. Also a wide variety of plates, and seperate items available. Would recommend to anyone, and this is coming from a Mexican raised.

I didn't want to believe the low reviews for this place, but believe them ppl. This place is hot and dirty. There is NO farm to be found on the premises and the tacos look NOTHING like the promotional pictures or videos. I ordered the lamb birria tacos and the meat is no where near tender and you have to dig to find any cheese. I couldn't even finish them cuz they were so tough. We ordered drinks as well and the waiter came back to the table and asked us out of nowhere if we wanted to talk to his supervisor b/c they haven't even started making our drinks. We finally received our drinks, we ordered ones with mini bottles in them, and my bottle was FILTHY. I was so upset that they would even put that disgusting thing inside my drink!!! I don't think the prices are reasonable at all. This is an honest review, the prices aren't all that great, the place feels like your living in hell, and it's not clean in the least bit.

One of the best Birria east of Rio Grande!! We had a Birria de Borrego, which is the most typical from Mexico. Glendi was our waitress. She had an infectious smile.

I saw a promotional video of this place on Facebook or Instagram. They hyped it up and made it look really good. I was definitely not impressed. The menu is very confusing to read. It's just full of pictures. It really doesn't explain anything. It doesn't help that the server doesn't speak English and couldn't explain anything. It's weird that she doesn't speak English because the whole commercial I saw was in English. There is no AC in this place. They had a portable unit, but it was not working very well. I thought the food was below average for the price they were charging. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. Most of my food was served, almost cold and not hot at all. I'm glad I was in the area when trying this place because I would definitely not drive the 30+ miles it is from my house to eat here. Good luck, I wish y'all the best!

Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Very cute decor! Moises took out order and was very friendly. Even though we ordered to go, he still offered us chips while we waited for our food. 10/10 would recommend

The food was great and our waiter was nice and attentive. I only gave four stars because we had to get our own menus because the hostess was rude. The food was fresh and hot but the chips were very hard.

The barbacoa and Carnitas at Gerardo's is good, moyejas meh... the real crime is the salsas (which cost $1 per little cup) as they don't have a lot of flavor. Also, the bottle sodas that cost 0.89 cents in the supermarket are $4.25. The tacos themselves are 0.75 cents above other taquerias around the area. I will not be going back, mostly because of the discrepancy of bottle soda prices.

It's as close to an original barrio meat market from the early Northside of Houston. The barbacoa and cheek are amazing; I'll go on a limb and say they're the best in Houston! The owner is a wonderful, kind woman that always welcomes every customer with a warm greeting. It's a must-try for your weekend lounging, foodies!

Great mixto barbacoa that has big meaty chunks of lengua and cachete. We had a freshly served portion of it and it was deliciously moist and not too fatty. Pork tamales also pretty damn good and moist when we went at 11AM. Tasty green and picosa orange salsas and decent tortillas. Maybe best barbacoa and tamales I've had in Houston actually. It's in the hood a bit but not too bad. Will return.

This place has the real deal Barbacoa , Carnitas and Lengua it is so good they even have breakfast tacos if you like . It's out of the way but amazingly good !!!

Best barbacoa I drive an hour just to eat here 🙂

The barbacoa is tender and very juicy, quite possibly the best in town. You are able to get barbacoa from different parts of the animal. they also sell tortillas. the fixings are sold separately so it's best to have those ready at home.

Delicious barbacoa on fresh flour tortillas, kept simple just like they should be. The chicharrones were perfectly crunchy and not greasy. They are generous with the barbacoa and tacos are very filling, so be careful not to order too many!

My partner and I have been meaning to come to Tio Trompo for a while now but don’t get to this side of town often. We were in the area today and stopped by for lunch - the food was incredible! The vibe and menu reminded me of Mexico City. We got two pastor tacos and a pastor quesadilla - both were absolutely delicious and came out very fast. The restaurant was very clean, with a calm, relaxing atmosphere and kind staff. 100% recommend!

It is really clear when the people making tacos love what they do and know what they’re doing. And Tio Trompo is the best example of it. Phenomenal flavors, all-day breakfast tacos, fantastic salsas, and wonderful prices! This place is a GEM if you want excellent tacos.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere, I felt like I was stepping into an establishment in Mexico. I grabbed 2 breakfast tacos de papas con chorizo en tortillas de harina and a small agua de Jamaica for $12.99- the portions were well worth that! I really enjoyed their pickled onions and salsa verde as well, 10/10!

Barbacoa was more greasy than my liking but the fajita taco was great. Great portion size. Get them on corn tortillas. One bad thing - Wait was terrible! I went on Saturday morning and ordered 4 tacos. Nothing complicated and waited over 30 minutes for it. I hope that was a rare occurrence.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Tio Trompo, and I can confidently say it’s become my new favorite taco spot! This vibrant taco stand transports you straight to Mexico, capturing the essence of street taco stands with its authentic flavors and lively atmosphere. Whenever I can’t hop on a two-hour flight from Houston to Mexico, this is the place I will turn to for a taste of the motherland, a nostalgic, flavorful, and truly reminiscent of the bustling street vendors south of the border. The portions are generous, and every bite is packed with “mucho sabor”, bold, authentic flavors that show the care and effort put into each dish. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Paola and Jonathan, the coffee barista, their warmth and hospitality made the experience even more memorable. The food, the vibe, and the friendly service have definitely won me over. I’ll be returning soon adding this to my “must haves” list. I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re craving genuine Mexican street-style tacos. This spot truly hits the mark for anyone looking for a delicious, flavorful, and authentic Mexican taco experience!

Becoming a local fave of mine. You can’t go wrong with the oriental tacos! And their horchata latte is one of the best I’ve had here in the city.

Came across this hidden gem in google maps while in the area. After seeing the amount of reviews and actual rating, I had to stop by. Their menu is small which I really like. (Tells me they do a few things very well.) We ordered the taco platter which included 4 tacos al pastor with rice and beans. I also ordered the chicken tacos. I think the pork could use a bit more salt, but it's not to say that they were bad. They were very good with that bit of char el trompo typically gives. The chicken was very flavorful and yet still juicy. We were caught off guard. The salsas were on point and the onions with habanero were spot on. Love that they double up on the corn tortillas. They give generous portions. Only downside is that they have a small parking lot and not very many tables. I will be making another trip to try the barbacoa and fajita. We are officially hooked. 😁 Update: came back after a small hiatus. Decided to drop by on a saturday evening around 630pm. Not many patrons which we actually liked. Service was quick as usual. Food was on point. I don't recall beer being sold on my last visit, but if it was that was a pleasant surprise seeing the beer cooler up front. Fair price as usual. Keep up the good work! ❤

On our way back home after visiting a client, we came across. Inside, it was clean and inviting. My wife had the mole enchiladas, and I went with three Oaxacan tamales. We were both happy with our meals — the green salsa was especially tasty. The restrooms were also very clean, which is always a good sign. We’re definitely coming back to try their delicious-looking breakfasts and the menudo. Really, the only downside is that you have to get up and order your food. Not a full service restaurant in that aspect.

Absolutely delicious!!!cooked with love! The food was flavorful and not at all oily. Came to this side of town for my son’s soccer game but I am definitely coming back with the family. Thank you!

I ordered red chilaquiles (bomb,crunchy). My wife ordered fish tacos, and they said they were okay. Unfortunately, they ran out of red salsa. Like how tf you run out of salsa in a Mexican spot, should be on deck by the gallons. Secondly, they only gave me the chilaquiles they didn't give any side rice or beans. I was like, bruh. The portion sizes are not what I expected. It's like I ordered off the kids' menu. And let me tell you, for four people in a Mexican restaurant should not be more than $100 that's trippn. We paid like 98, AND TIPPED!!

My favorite coffee now! The iced Café de Olla. Been coming here for years. Love the food too. Usually get bacon egg and cheese tacos, sopes, tostadas. I think I have tried all the dishes at this point and I love them all.

We had brunch on Christmas Eve at Don Pepe, and it was great! The chilaquiles were outstanding, as were the gringa and the enchiladas verdes.

My family eats here regularly. The food is fresh, simple, and delicious. Don’t expect plates piled high with heavy Tex mex. It’s straightforward food, simply prepared. A neighborhood staple, run by friendly and attentive staff. Great tacos, great coffee, my favorite enchiladas.

A go to place for fantastic and tasty traditional mexican food ! The enchiladas are my favorite ! Had many in Houston and these ones are unbeatable! Go and enjoy! You won’t be disappointed! Same goes for the Margaritas!!!

Stoped he after the dancing with my wife. We ordered two chicken sandwiches, one spicy, and a no mercy for me. Of the boxes, only one was marked spicy. We assumed it was my no mercy. After a few bits my wife looked like she was in a sauna. Turns out the no mercy was not marked, and oh my it was the most intense heat I have eaten in years. I had joked with the staff when I ordered that I would remember them tomorrow, a frequent joke when ordering spicy food. Well this was the first time ever it was true. Capsician levels so high I could feel it using the restroom in the morning. We also ordered waffle fries and crinkle fries, both were exceptionally crispy and fresh. The cheese sticks were also delicious. I would definitely recommend trying this out, and will think the Numbers staff who recommend it.

We ordered 4 chicken sandwiches from Yummy’s Hot Chicken, and they were absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside — exactly how it should be. My wife and kids loved them too. The fries hit different — flavorful, fresh, and not the usual tiny, overcooked ones you get at some places. These were full-sized and cooked just right. Highly recommend Yummy’s Hot Chicken if you’re looking for a great meal. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Tried Yummy's Hot Chicken twice so far, and both times the food was delicious and affordable. It’s a newer spot for me, not my main go-to yet, but definitely worth checking out. The flavors are on point — waffle fries were crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the chicken had a great kick without being over the top. Service was smooth both times, and the overall experience felt fresh. It really depends on what you order, but when you hit the right combo, it delivers. If you’re looking for something new with bold flavors and good portions for the price, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Solid 4 stars. I’ll be back. — D. Smith

This food was DELICIOUS! The chicken was hot, fresh, and full of flavor! I got the mild sauce and it wasn’t spicy at all! My only regret is not getting the regular spicy sauce because I am sure it is fantastic! I will be coming here every time I am in Houston! It is a food truck and the owners are very upbeat. Wonderful place to eat.

Juicy chicken made-to-order. The waffle fries are crispy and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend this spot.

They are open late which I love and on top of that the food is great. Not just good if you’re up late and drunk but actually good. if you can’t handle heat then even mellow might not be for you but their chicken is deliciously seasoned and tastes like it is well brined too.

Nice staff from a group of Guatemalans. The chicken was incredibly tender. I'm still trying to figure out how they do it. It's not dry. Super juicy and flavorful. Favorite spicy chicken spot by far. IG : love _to_exist
