I've been wanting to try this spot because I drive by it frequently. I decided to stop and try the torta because I was sharing. I chose pastor and half the sandwich was sufficient for me. The torta comes with two options of salsa and onions on the side. The service was great and it didn't take too long for my order to be ready. The food was good to me - not spectacular but good. Maybe my standards are higher because I travel to Mexico often. There are tables adjacent to the taco truck that you can sit and eat outside or there's an inside dining area if you choose. This is a decent place to get food at a low profile spot. Peace. read more

My favorite birria place. Love the birria tacos, baked potato, salsa, and birria ramen. Always has people and takes a little while to get food but worth the wait. The food quality is why the wait and worth it. They even have seating indoor and outdoor if you need it. Parking a little crowded with gas station so be ready. read more

At this point El Norteño is staple of Spring, Texas cuisine. We don't got much but órale, we got Norteño! By far my go to here is the chorizo tacos, and the pastor are a close second . The bisteak tacos are slightly above average and so is the horchata. This might be me but I'm also a fan of the corn tortillas. Not sure whether they're homemade or store bought but they're definitely good quality. I'm kind of a fan of the little competition they have going on with the taco truck right across the street. I'd choose norteño any day though. read more

El Norteño Tacos - Birria Taco - Tacos Near Me - Spring, Texas

Ordered 3 chicken & 2 beef tacos and they were the most bland tacos ever. I mean spice it up with some salt & pepper! Birra ramen was oily and tasted like it sat since last year in the pot. Quesadilla was ok- greasy but ok to eat and not throw away like the first 2 items listed. And they need to stop with so many onions! Cilantro is cheap y'all. Not sure how they rated so top because they were definitely on the bottom that day. read more

I always enjoy a good taco truck and this one did not disappoint! The birria tacos were yummy, and the broth to dip the tacos in was also full of flavor. The tacos alone were definitely worth the wait. The staff was kind and made sure we were okay while we waited for our food. I like the fact that the agua frescas were in bottles and easy to grab, but I wish they had different size options as they are a bit pricy compared to other agua frescas for this one size. Nonetheless, they are still fresh, convenient, and enjoyable. read more

Listen to me! TEN OUT OF TEN OUT OF TEN. Surprised I'm barely reviewing this spot as many times as I've had it via UberEats. I usually get the Birria tacos but I got the Quesabirria this time and it was bomb. Always fresh and hot. I went in person once and they're friendly people. My go to birria spot and I recommend them to anyone who will listen. read more

We have visited this truck a few times and have consistently enjoyed their food each time. My favorite is the steak burrito. However, the tacos and the quesadillas are great ad well. No long line when I have gone, but continuous stream of customers. Customer service is fast, helpful, and friendly. Parking lot had just enough lighting that it is not threatening and on the corner of a busy intersection so I don't feel like I'm in danger (I'm probably a bit paranoid about dark parking lots ) . read more

El Norteno Tacos is one of the best taco trucks in the Houston area, hands down! I've had the chicken quesadilla, quesa birria, tacos all carbon, and birria ramen and all of it was among the best I've had. Not only is the food good, but the prices are reasonable as well. A family of 4 can eat here for less than $40 and the wait is never long! Be sure to get extra green and red salsa! It's homemade and absolutely good on everything! read more

Holy mother of tacos, this place is FIRE!!! I've tried several of their menu items, and I have never been disappointed! The value is there for the flavor-packed food and hearty portions. The street tacos are my go-to, but the pizza (topped with any meats of your choice) and the birria ramen were INSANE - in the most delicious way. El Norteno reigns supreme for Mexican street food style fast food on the Northside. read more

I've been hearing about this place for months. I knew it was in my backyard but never had the chance to try it until one Friday night. They're parked in the Ignite Gas Station (Spring Cypress & Kuykendahl) which is honestly a small lot for them giving the crowd they attract. Pulled up around 9:30 pm on a Friday night and the lot was packed with people waiting in line for this food truck. Best friend and I shared the quesabirria and had two Birria tacos.... FIRE? Do you hear me!??? It's like I fell in love that love with food and was. Ot ready to end the relationship after finishing our meal The line moved pretty quickly for how long it was. They have a small outside eating area (where we sat) and then they have an inside area attached to the convenience store of the gas station. Definitely worth the wait. I will be a loyal customer from now on. read more

El Norteño Tacos - They dont offer free drinks even on yelp is saying that i can get a free drink from them. - Tacos Near Me - Spring, Texas

In my opinion this is the best truck around the spring area, but after 10 they never any meat left, but definitely my regular spot.

Called while I was driving and they wanted me to get my card and read it out to place the order... IM ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING!!! Don't waste your money here read more

This was our first time here after looking for Tacos de Barria. My husband ordered Queso Barria and I changed it up to get Tacos de Bistec y Trompo. They were sooo good and I even took some of the sauce and dipped them in it too (just an idea). The price is very reasonable, the truck and outside is clean and organized and although there was a line, the wait was surprisingly short. We are definitely repeat customers and this time I'm going to order with confidence read more

Food was amazing. The quesadillas was the best the potato was my second favorite then the birria I highly recommend the quesadillas

Don't come here for ambiance. Surrounded by piles of tires and a decrepit gas station next door, there is nothing about this little taco stand that says 'date night'. Nor will you find laminated menus or even a price list. Instead, there is one griddle, one cash register, and a trio of cheerful, hardworking folks who turn out plates of fresh tacos within minutes. We stopped by here because of sheer curiosity when we saw a long line of hungry customers lined up at this random stall. As we joined the queue, someone came down the line handing out generous samples of smokey baked beans, made with what looked like hunks of ham hock. As a vegetarian, I unfortunately couldn't partake in the meat taco offerings but they seemed largely unfazed by my request for a meat-free taco. This was topped with grilled onions, an onion-cilantro mixture, and a lime. When coupled with a few squeezes from the hot sauces available on the tables, this made for one of the loveliest bites I've had for a mere dollar. While chowing down, I also caught site of the containers of baked potato on the side of the grill. When I ordered it, this was placed on top of the grill for a few minutes until the heavy layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheese became gooey. This, along with a few more hits of sauce, made for a concoction that might possibly be one of the best drunk foods around. Parking is just wherever you can find an empty spot by the gas station, and there are no bathrooms available. Additionally, with prices being so cheap, I'm pretty sure this joint is cash-only. But with a few picnic tables and pop latino blaring from the speakers, it makes for an awesome cheap fill up stop. Would definitely recommend if you need to chow with only a few bills in the pocket! read more

This taco truck is so amazing! Do not pass them by, make every effort to stop even if you have to make an extra turn to get to it! The al pastor, the Birria, the fajita, the aguas, the blistered jalapeños you get with your food - everything I have tried is delicious. So authentic, so flavorful! *kisses fingers and shakes them in the air* read more

The staff was very kind and patient, the food was also superb. Will be back! I was able to try birria tacos and ramen birria this time, i look forward to exploring the rest of the menu. read more

Really disappointed at this location. They used to be really good when they were off 1960. I decided to try them at their new location and man I sure did make a mistake. Got four mini tacos to go. I thought I smelt a funny smell when I was leaving but let it go. My god I got so sick last night. Luckily I had raw apple cider vinegar because I was in the verge of food poisoning. The apple cider vinegar neutralized whatever I had. I am very lucky because I was in pain and feeling sick. The meant isn't as good as their old spot on location. The tortillas were dry as hell! I will definitely not be back here. Not sure how long the food was out or the smell that I smelt but I got really sick! These guys should be checked out by the health department to make sure they are following rules and regulations. read more

So good! Should have take pics before we started eating. We had the birria tacos, birria ramen, torta de fajita, tacos de trompo, and chicken quesadillas. Service was super friendly, quick, and the food tasted fresh! The best thing we had was the torta and quesadilla. The chicken in the quesadilla was so flavorful. We heard good things and it did not disappoint. We will be back. read more

HOLY SHIT!!!! I but all gave up on Birria Tacos & Birria Quesadilla's as all my past experiences at other joints haven't been spectacular. I know Birria is popular in Cali so I wanted to give it a try from multiple spots to make sure that one spot doesn't ruin it for me. El Norteno Tacos fucking nailed it today. The Birria Ramen is absolutely insane. THIS IS A MUST TRY!!!! I'm not a big soup person but I am going back for more tomorrow without a doubt. Keep an open mind and try this damn place read more

I came here because my favorite taco place was closed. I haven't been here since they moved locations Prices went food quality went down. They are stingy with sauces, did not respect the prices that were on the board. Roaches out in the patio, and there inside smells like sewage. Vine aquí porque mi lugar de tacos favorito estaba cerrado. No he estado aquí desde que se mudaron de lugares Los precios bajaron La calidad de la comida bajó. Son tacaños con salsas, no respetaron los precios que estaban en el tablero. Cucarachas en el patio, y allí dentro huele a aguas residuales. read more

This spot had really delicious birria tacos (or quesotacos, as others call them) the first time I visited. However, I came back a second time and the tacos were only okay, and they are pricey for how small they are (I think it's $2 per tiny taco). I still given them 4 stars though, based on my overall experience. I also wish their ordering was more streamlined, as we waited quite a while to order and get our food. read more

Best Tacos in Houston, love that it has authentic Mexican food. Like the vibe and great customer service!!

We drove from downtown to try these tacos we had seen mentioned on tik tok. The customer service was great but the food was very disappointing. The burger had no flavor and was just so much meat and greasy. The quesabirria was soo soggy and again had no seasoning or flavor. Sorry but the food did not live up to the "hype". read more

So I used to love this place and I told all of my friend about it and they starting coming. idk what happened , if they changed their suppliers or what but they tacos are not the same. I used to go because of the jalapeños, they even called me (la chica jalapeño) because I always got like 5. they had the best jalapeños and they also stop selling them. the new lady (cashier) is so rude, they are always out of aguas frescas and never have the birria soup. Everything is always out of stock , even if I go early! Don't recommend this place anymore. read more

I'm not one to leave reviews but I decided to try this place out after reading a few reviews and craving some authentic food. We ordered the quesa birria and we had to send them back because they didn't have cheese on all the quesadillas. Hate having to send any food back but we paid for cheese! When they gave the food it not only had an excessive amount of cheese now but it was sooooo soggy and limp. I didn't eat the food. Didn't even care to take a bite. My husband did take a few bites and said the flavor was good but he would never eat there again for the fact that he had to come home and try and crisp up the quesadillas from how soggy they were. So very disappointing! read more

Tried this place after seeing the line and wish I kept driving. Ordered tacos, quesadilla and birria quesadilla what a waste $$! This food is so greasy and tasteless and went straight to the trash. Wish I read earlier review stated Taco Bell is better than this. I don't eat Taco Bell but the comparison woah! read more

Awesome food, order probably twice a week on average . Birria tacos are great, get the quesadilla and dip it in the sauce. Perfect

Tacos were not the best. The trompo was very fatty hardly any meat on it. I can't speak for the rest of the options on the menu, but the meats weren't good. read more

Didn't really get to try out the food but when I wanted to order they told me it was going to be a 15 min wait because they were changing shifts, after that I was 10 min into waiting, when another possible customer said he was leaving because he asked how more time was it going to take until someone could order something, witch they had todo him that it was going to be another 20 min because of the shift change, so now we are talking about a 35 min wait until someone can order, and in the 10min that I was waiting, I kept seeing a lot of people coming and just leaving because nobody thought that a 35 min wait was worth it read more
