i'm going to keep this simple; the food is great. simple. and fresh. this is a locally owned and reasonably priced eatery. for $20: i ordered 4 breakfast tacos, two large drinks, a side of beans and rice. the tacos are made with fresh tortillas, so that is an absolute win. please please be patient with the staff. this is a very tiny eatery and the lines are typically pretty long, so be prepared to wait and leave your ego in the passenger seat. there is very limited seating, it's quite tight! but at least it's clean. absolutely would recommend for when you are in the mood for simply great breakfast tacos! c. read more

The line is usually long but it moves at a good pace, it's worth the wait. I do suggest looking at the menu ahead of time and having a pretty good idea of what you would like to order once you're inside. I've only had tacos here but every variation that I've had was delicious. They have other items such daily specials for lunch but I'm not very knowledgeable there. I would definitely recommend anyone to check it out if it's in your radar. read more

Brothers Taco House - Menu - February 2026 - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

A coworker of mine put me onto this establishment, and I'm definitely glad he did. Being nice, I went and grabbed some tacos for my colleagues, and I was told every single order was a hit for them. I went with the chorizo & egg. My home girl went with bean, bacon & potato (2x). Two nurses went with the chicken fajita, beef fajita, and a bacon, potato, cheese & egg tacos. All were fresh, flavorful, and packed just right. Not mentioned made right in front of you. The food quality was great, the service was family oriented friendly and efficient, and the ambience is laid back and welcoming, exactly what you want from a neighborhood taco spot that knows what it's doing. The servers definitely go over and beyond with a smile. Absolutely try to get here early because the lines can get long, but today the wait wasn't as bad as I thought it was gone be. It moved quickly. Worth it either way with the option selections they have. If you're craving some satisfying tacos that deliver every time, Brothers Taco House is a spot you should try out. I'll be back to try some other tacos very soon. read more

At 6:15 in the morning in a random Thursday there's a VILLAGE people line out the door. Cop. Construction worker. Biker. Just missing the Native. Assembly line taco formation makes it go super fast. Be prepared. Grab the salsa and peppers. Hot coffee. Excellent chorizo breakfast tacos. Amazing bacon tacos. Three filling overstuffed shells and a large coffee for $11 with a great little section to sit and devour. Wish I was here over the weekend to see how good the tamales are. Clean and cute and a treasure. read more

At this point, Brothers is more synonymous with breakfast tacos than any other establishment in Houston. While there are other places that offer and even specialize in them, few have more years than this family-run EaDo institution, which is closing in on a quarter of a century. The lines from both tourists and locals happen on the daily, from the morning to lunch. It's hard to predict on when to come since the peak times fluctuate between 8-10AM and Noon. Thankfully the wait isn't too long and it moves quicker than it looks. It's really only an issue if one is pressed for time (#1) or if the weather is less than ideal. The other hold up which is people who don't know their way around and hold up the line while they make a decision. The tacos are all across the board in textures, flavors, and look. Personally, their scrambled egg with sausage and peppers is deceivingly good. The spicy potato seems super plain but is packed with a nice zing of flavor. I highly recommend salsa of any kind to add to the taco. It's not all tacos here: tortas, quesadillas, fajitas, and daily lunch specials are still very much a part of their food rotation. It would be remiss of me to not mention their amazing Too Good To Go offer, which is currently stands at $3.99 for 5 (random) tacos in a surprise bag. It's been one of my favorite ways to keep things affordable while enjoying a nice selection of their pre-made tacos. There is seating in here, but it's limited and located in the back. During the different parts of the afternoons, sometimes they'll give a little break (and even a little food) to the less fortunate roaming the streets of EaDo. I think the people who run the place are excellent folks. Be strategic about the parking situation, since their front lot only offers so many spaces. Street parking is practically essential and time flexibility is worth its weight in breakfast taco gold. ___________ (#1) Call ahead of time and make it a to-go order. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning around 10am, and there was a line out the door. This building itself isn't huge though, and the ordering system is much like a build-your-own spot so the line does move quickly! We waited about 10 minutes. The parking lot is very small with street parking being the only other option, but that's fine since it giving more of a "grab and go" place anyways. There are a few bench tables and barstools inside though for those who want to dine in. The food itself (which in this case was classic breakfast tacos) were just good, nothing mind-blowing. I do appreciate how you can add all of your fixings at the end instead of having to go back and ask. Would I come here again? I'm not opposed to it, but I would not go out of my way to return if I wasn't in the area. read more

Brothers Taco House - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Brothers Taco House is an EaDo taco joint you have to check out if you haven't already! I'll be real with y'all and say parking here isn't the best. Only a few normal parking spots then the rest is street parking. But it's worth the trouble! Service is quick. It's counter service and the line usually goes out the door, but it moves quickly. Ambiance is nothing special, but you don't need that when the tacos are tasty and affordable. They have a ton of different filling options. I usually stick to al pastor, barbacoa, and beef fajita, but they have so many options to choose from. The chipotle chicken was surprisingly really good, and you can never go wrong with a breakfast taco option. What really sets this place apart is their salsa, 5 different options of different spice levels. And my personal favorite, the fresh chilis they offer on the side as well. Enjoy! read more

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. read more

I came here close to closing on a Saturday in a group of 2. Atmosphere: This place is a COMPLETE genuine spot with not much English speaking but enough to order. Handful of long tables to share with others or bar railing-like seating. Had no problem finding a seat when we went. Food: absolutely splendid. This is the kind of taco that Texas is made of. No nonsense. Great quality. Not expensive. Parking: spots right out front, not difficult. Could also street park easily I'm coming back here - this is a gem (for the right crowd and vibe) read more

Been coming here for years. The guy with the bad haircut and bad teeth was really rude today. He told me ten mins. I show up to get my order in ten mins now he talking about 15 more mins and was extremely rude about it. Too many good tacos spots to deal with his rudeness. I Will not be back. 1 star. read more

This place always has a line wrapped around the building. Finally stopped in to see what the fuss is all about. The ladies behind the counter were super friendly and helpful to a first timer. Ordered 2 tacos: chicken tinga and spicy pork. They have 3 types of sauces mild (light green), medium (darker green) and hot (red). The red one is the hottest. They also give you cilantro and onions to go on the tacos. Super cute place with wood paneling and there is some hidden parking behind the building. Now for the food review... beyond amazing! My favorite sauce was the medium darker green one. Just the right amount of kick for the tomatillo. The food is fresh and flavorful and the flour tortillas taste like homemade :) So glad I finally went in. It's worth it to fight the crowds and traffic to try this place out. There is a reason why it's always packed! read more

Brothers Taco House has been on my breakfast radar for a minute. The location, parking and long lines have kept me from checking it out sooner. Recently, my coworkers and I decided we needed some breakfast tacos in our life so I carved out time in my morning to make it happen. Since I came bright and early, there was no big line that I have always read about nor was there any issue with parking. Most of the food is prepared and the ordering process is like a cafeteria line. You either tell them or point at what you want and how you want it. Customer service was good. My order was large but I planned ahead and grouped like items together. I was in and out of there in a jiffy. The tacos prices are on par or even slightly cheaper than other breakfast taco spots ranging from $2.25 to $3.50 depending on that you get. They do charge a quarter extra for cheese. When we dug into the food at work, I noticed some were not labeled like others so we had to do some investigating to get our orders right. Maybe sticker labels would be ideal for large to go orders. Just a thought. For my order I got a chorizo & egg, bacon & egg, and a sausage & egg. I added cheese to them all. To me, they all tasted very similar. Of course they had slightly different flavors, but not much. If I had to choose, I would pick the bacon one as the front runner. My coworkers and I try different breakfast tacos pretty regularly and to me, this place was just ok. Not bad by any mean, it just didn't live up to the hype. Overall, the food satisfied my hunger but I was expecting the best breakfast tacos in town. I will probably give them another shot but eat it right there in the parking lot. read more

Food is consistently good here. The taco prices have crept up, but name one place where prices haven't been raised. The people are friendly enough and efficient. Line moves quick. I like to go for the crunchy taco special on fridays and I really enjoy the mole with rice tacos. The bright red salsa has the perfect amount of spice and they don't nickel and dime you for salsa. read more

This is def one of those restaurants where you need to know what you want before going up. Its a very popular taco spot in EaDo area and seem specifically busy during breakfast. They have a small parking lot so parking is a hit/miss but we were lucky enough to get parking. We waited in line and tried to figure out what we wanted. It's set up cafeteria style where you go down the line and they take your order and assemble your taco with the various fillings. It seemed they had many more options than their menu listed which left me a bit flustered when making decisions. I wish things were labeled but I eventually went with the potato, chorizo, and bean breakfast taco and got some tamales to go. I really liked the breakfast taco, it was very flavorful and surprisingly filling. The salsas they have out were also great and def recommend to go along with any of their food. The tamales were a bit mediocre for me, nothing stand out (I'm also not sure what filling they were or if they had options but I think it was carnitas). Overall, a solid breakfast taco spot, just know what you want before you step in. read more

Brothers Taco House - Chorizo Papas & Beans - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Overall, a great experience and an even better price for tacos! My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday around 10:30am and waited about 10 minutes in line before ordering. There's usually a line on weekends, so expect a bit of a wait. The setup is order-at-the-counter style where they hand you your food at the end, but I noticed people doing online orders too--definitely recommend that option if it's available. We ordered 5 tacos total plus a large lemonade, all for under $17. Super affordable and we left very full. I had the bacon, egg & cheese with potatoes and beans, while my boyfriend tried chorizo and beef. The beef taco was the winner--so flavorful, tender, and juicy. Next time I'd probably order a couple of those! The sauce variety was great too, and the lemonade was refreshing. Service was fast and efficient. Seating is limited, but we managed to grab a spot without much trouble. Great spot overall--tasty food, great value, and worth the weekend line. I'll definitely be back, especially for that beef taco! read more

While traveling, I like to seek out good spots to have breakfast. One of my friends who is local to Houston had sent me some spots to check out and Brothers was on it. After a little research I saw that this was somewhat of a hot spot, so I made plans one morning to check it out. I was staying downtown and decided to walk to EaDo - it was only about a mile away so the trek wasn't too bad. The eatery is located at the corner of a busy intersection and I noticed a small line outside which I joined. I seem to have come at a good time because there were only maybe 5 or 6 people in front of me and I waited only a few minutes before being served; reviews here tell of much longer wait times. The space is set up quick service style where you walk along the ordering counter as they prepare your order. Many customers were taking their orders to go, though they have a decent sized area to sit and eat. Brothers is only open for breakfast and lunch; the menu is mostly Mexican dishes, with breakfast tacos being their most known dish. Since this was my first time that's what I decided to get - I went with three and had two filled wit egg and sausage and one filled with egg and ham; I was given a choice of tortilla type and I chose flour. In addition to the egg, the tortilla was lined with refried beans and I grabbed a few different salsas at checkout to complement. The tacos were okay - they were kinda messy/mushy and didn't have a lot of flavor. The salsas helped a lot but they were sloppy to eat and the consistency wasn't my favorite. I could tell the food was fresh but it just didn't speak to me. Service was fast, and overall I didn't love Brothers. I have no doubt this place delivers quality food, it just missed the mark with me personally so I would likely bypass the next time I'm in Houston. read more

This service efficiency is key... it keeps the line moving. Not only is it efficient but the service was fast and friendly. This is a super casual family establishment. I ordered menudo (this was so good, broth was so flavorful made think I should have gotten the larger size), a barbacoa taco (very tender just needed a little more seasoning, a chorizo and egg taco (chorizo had good flavor), a spicy pork taco (has a nice kick and the meat was tender) and a 1/2 order of pork tamales (there was not enough meat to masa ratio). read more

When I saw those chiles just laying there for you to eat it amor(a mordidas) reminded me of home I came here because I recommendation I saw TikTok about authentic breakfast tacos, which to me just translates to actual burritos Norteños from Chihuahua (where I'm from) I like that they have several options and they prepared just like we do in Mexico with the exception that some of the "guisos" that I had were not that flavorful . Eggs with Chorizo, picadillo and Chicharrón Verde That's what I had. Chicharrón had too much onion, which it was weird and it didn't really taste like chicharrón much, the picadillos was lacking flavor salt or something. I can come back and try them again, but I was over hype and under delivered read more

Man, this location is worth the wait outside. Yes, you wait outside till they have a spot open to order inside. A long line will go fast! Took me about 6-8 minutes waiting outside and there were roughly 30 people infront of me. So not bad at all! The food is so tasty, portioned for a big eater, and they do NOT MISS when it comes to loading you up! They are super fast at pulling your order together, so kinda know what you want by the time you make it inside. You do feel a slight rush, but it may be the line of folks staring at you from the outside lol! Overall, 10/10 totally worth it! Oh and one more thing, even though the area is kinda shady looking, there have always been at least 3-5 cops in line waiting for food, every single time I've gone. read more

Stopped by here on our 10 Tacos 10 Hours tour around town and safe to say Brothers is still one of the best breakfast tacos around. The bacon egg and cheese taco has flavorful, fluffy eggs with bacon that's nicely rendered, leaving perfectly savory porky bits.

Last meal in HOU. Had to grab some breakfast tacos before we left and brothers tacos was the most highly recommended spot. Came in on a Saturday around 11 AM. Bit of a line but it moves relatively quickly. Ordered two breakfast tacos. Chorizo and egg with beans / bacon and egg with beans. Both came in a fresh tortilla and they were so tasty. The bacon and egg was just a bit better in my opinion. I wish I added cheese or potatoes because it was missing a little something. Make sure you grab some salsas with you and get a lemonade. Heck of a deal. Good food, good prices, what else do you want?? Bye bye HOU read more

Serving breakfast tacos for over 20 years, Brothers Taco House in Houston is a well oiled machine serving a variety of delicious meat, potato, and/or bean tacos for an affordable price. My brother and I came here for breakfast on a Sunday (even though the hours listed in front implies they are closed on Sundayw) and it was already hopping. Parking is available in front, and the line will always stretch out the door but it moves fast (they have A/C inside so a sign asks patrons to keep the door closed, which everyone was following). Once you enter the storefront, you start the process of moving through the assembly line, making taco choices. Because they have so many different meats, already chopped and ready to be mixed to make any combo you want, they can serve simple lunch plates as well. But we were here for breakfast tacos ($2.50), and that's what my brother ordered (in addition to an order of huevos rancheros $8.50). The tacos were ready to go by the time we got to the end of the line, where he paid. There is some seating further inside the restaurant (it is very long and narrow). The huevos rancheros took a bit longer to come (since the eggs have to be poached after ordering). All in all, I thought the food was good. They give plenty of meat for the meat tacos, the potatoes were not too mushy, and the scrambled eggs mixed with the meat for the breakfast tacos were fine. The huevos rancheros was solid. Since the tacos had been wrapped to-go, we ate a sample to whet our appetites and brought the rest home. I'm sure it was a good snack for my brother after I had left. I later learned that the House was named for the original owner's two sons, and that now it is being run by the 2nd generation, keeping the same recipes and traditions alive. It was a fun place to visit. read more

I've been eating at Brothers for many years, and their quality is consistently excellent. My favorite type of taco is one with refried beans and thinly sliced sausages that are sautéed with onions and peppers (either jalapeños or serranos). You can only get these in the morning, and when they run out, they don't make any more. Even though there is usually a line out the door, the service is generally quick. They do have a small dining room, though most people order their meals to-go. A must-visit when in Downtown or EaDo! read more

There is Street parking as well as a few spots in front of the venue. The service is quick it is made in front of you because you're choosing everything that goes on your tacos. So, if you don't like something... Blame yourself. Since The tacos were made how I described. I have to admit I did a great job putting those tacos together. It was absolutely delicious. Every taco in my party of three was raved about. Personally, I don't think anything can beat these breakfast tacos. My only hiccup would be to travel all the way over here to buy them. The price point of the tacos were pretty good in my opinion. I did not spend an arm and a leg so that was another win for this establishment. The ambiance here is designed as order and go. They have a few places to sit but there aren't many. When I'm on this side I will definitely stop by again. read more

Arguable one of the best taco restaurants in Houston.

You stand in a long long out side but no worries, the line moves super fast. You get to the inside where they have various options that you can chose from. I always order thier house made chorizo with egg on a flour tortilla with no frijoles. I grab two of those bad boys. And get some of their homemade salsas to go on top! Wheeeew!!!!! Incredible!!!!!
