Although I opted for enchiladas rojas. Intense garlic. Rice is too salty for my personal preference. Beans good. Enchiladas also more salty than my preference. But still enjoyable. TDL is a Houston treasure. Highly recommended. Two locations now. Festive. Great ambiance. Good food. Nice people.

They do offer various vegetarian options as well which is a plus. On the weekends they have menudo in case you need to cure a hangover or satisfy that craving. You order at the counter and then receive a number to take to your table/seat. The vibes are casual, lively, and homey. It gets pretty full during peak hours but plenty of seating also on their patio. I love dining in and trying all the salsas they have to offer. The creamy salsa verde and cry baby has to be my favorites. Their Birria tacos and quesabirria is really good. Don't forget to wash it all down with a big cup of horchata. You definitely leave this spot contemplating what you would order next time because it's that good!

If you like the quesadillas at Taconazo, you'll like them here. My buddy took me here after a…read moreRockets game. We wanted Taconazo, but we didn't have any cash on us. Luckily, this spot takes both card and cash! I got the small beef quesadilla, and it was loaded with cheese. The small quesadilla was $5.50, and it was pretty decently sized for a small. They have salsa set out at the counter, so you can pack as much as you like. The red salsa was smoky and SPICY. Very tasty if you like spice I see a lot of great reviews about this place. I would like to try their other tacos and give a more detailed review. I will be back! but for sure the quesadilla was a hit for me

We ordered two steak tacos with cilantro, onions, and avocado, one chicken taco with cilantro and onions, and two small beef quesadillas -- and it was the perfect amount of food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a taco truck. The steak was tender and well-seasoned, and the quesadillas were simple but so satisfying. Service was quick, and the guy working in the truck was super friendly. Honestly, some of the best tacos I've had in the city. Definitely will be back again.

We had a taco lunch from Tacos Dona Lena, and it was delicious! We shared a variety of tacos, and…read moremy favorites were the birria street tacos and the barbacoa tacos. The birria street tacos were so tender and flavorful, and the salsas provided (red and green--I liked both!) added a nice kick. I also liked the al pastor tacos, which were very tasty. The only tacos I didn't like were the lingua tacos--someone had recommended the lingua tacos, but it was a bit to fatty for me. One thing--it may be an anomaly, but our tacos took a long time (30+ minutes) to be ready. It's probably a little on me because I totally forgot it was Cinco de Mayo, but just FYI. But still 5 star tacos!

Got two steak tacos, a grande steak, quesadilla, a side of chips that came with a variety of house sauces, and ended with the churros. To start, the tacos were simple being topped with onions and cilantro, and coming on corn tortillas. The quesadilla was made with a generous filling of steak and cheese. Lastly, one of my favorite parts of the meal was getting to try all the different house salsas that they had. As expected, the restaurant was packed as it was Cinco de Mayo and taco Tuesday. It was a fun, busy environment, every table was filled inside and outside seating. Definitely a great spot to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the heart of the city!

Food comes out immediately but there is no seating so be ready to eat outside/in your car. Definitely recommend the plato especial for best value. This plate is definitely enough for 2-3 to share. Meat is super nicely cooked, good flavor and smokiness. Cheese also goes insane when it's piping hot. Horchata was also very nice. Not overwhelmingly strong but very refreshing with the meat and by itself too. There may be a line at night but it goes by super quick. Definitely coming back after I finish my leftovers tomorrow.

This food truck is a true staple in North Houston. I've been here easily over 30 times, and they…read moreconsistently serve some of the most authentic, fresh tacos in the city. It's also a huge plus that they're open late, perfect for those late-night cravings. The green sauce is incredible, and I always go for the fajita quesadillas, they never miss. Pricing is fair for the quality you get, so no complaints there. Just keep in mind it's cash only, no cards or online payments. The lines are almost always long no matter the time of day, but they move quickly, so the wait isn't bad. I usually grab a pink lemonade as well, which hits every time. Out of all the locations, El Taconazo is definitely the one to go to, hands down some of the best tacos you'll find on Fulton St.

We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.

Al pastor was our favorite meat but the carne asada was also flavorful. Super cheap too.

The salsa was smooth and the queso was good with a little kick of spice. Everything was pretty good and filling and everything was packed very well.

The salsa in particular was disappointing; it lacked any real flavor or spice, which is kind of the bare minimum for a good taco spot. Unfortunately, the bigger issue was that we didn't feel well after eating here, which made the whole experience even worse. Between the quality of the food and how we felt afterward, it's not a place we'd consider coming back to.
