$19.99 all you can eat tacos on Tuesdays! Comes with tortas if you want too. There's homemade salsa bar (very flavorful, very spicy) there's a bar and assortment of non alcoholic drinks like tamarindo and horchata. Inside there's air conditioning and a small outside patio area with fan. There's a few tvs on for sports. Staff is very friendly. Tacos are served hot and quick. Excellent taco Tuesday for me today.

Small quesadilla
Michelle B.

Oh where to begin? randomly came up on my TikTok and looked tasty enough to try. Walked in and you order at the counter. The cashier was super friendly. Offered assistance. He and I had a misunderstanding about no cilantro but they remade them with absolutely no issue. The trompo was my favorite along with the mango salsa. Yes I like it spicy. The small quesadillas was hefty and a good amount. The trio I meant to only order one extra taco but ordered three. The flour tortilla was good though and fresh. The two weren't my favorite meats. But the torta my husband got was plenty to share. It was literally 12 inches long. There is apparently one bigger than that even. Overall all the staff we spoke with were finally. The restaurant was clean. Very busy even mid afternoon which is why we sat at the bar. But Jorge was friendly. Made sure we knew the Mon- Thur specials for Margaritas. They have 7 flavors of frozen along with aqua Fresca for those who want non alcoholic. We will definitely be going back to try more in the future. May need to study up to find another options. The street tacos were also a good amount. Fully of topics and easy.

Order: Three Flour Tacos Chicken and Carne Asada Honestly, I am not a fan of the tacos...however, if I had to choose one it would be the Carne Asada as it was slightly flavorful. Overall, I felt they were bland in taste. The presentation was great! However, driving home with them a slight oily smell was apparent, which would have been the taco shells. The ambiance is all things Mexico, such a variety of snacks...chips, candies and house made drinks. I think they did a really good job with the space as they have a bar that is full service. They have a salsa bar that is also full service with a variety of flavors. The service was great as the young man explained to me when asked, the various parts of beef they offer. This is a new location, maybe the other meats provide more flavor. I can see this spot being a nice happy hour or weekend place to chill out. Parking is no issue as they have a good amount of parking spaces.

Register with drink and candy
Brianna E.

I was in the area looking for a spot to eat, and noticed this taqueria had just recently opened. So I decided to give it a shot, and omg I'm so glad I did! The first thing you notice is the bright and colorful decor. I love the mural in front. They have an area up front by their register where they sell candy and ice cream as well as a mix of bottled drinks. I love it when places offer bottles of soda; they taste way better in my opinion. The staff is very friendly. I asked the girl working the register what was good, and she recommended the birria tacos or the 5-taco combo. I ended up trying both. With the 5-taco combo, you can order 5 different meats! I loved that I got to try different tacos and was not limited to just one meat. Taco de Carne Asada: This was my favorite taco; the seasoning was perfect. Taco de Barbacoa: It was good! Not dry or greasy, nice and tender Taco de Trompo: This one was good too, I didn't get any fatty/chewy pieces Taco de Chicharrón verde: This was my second favorite. Not very often do you see this offered at a taqueria. Tastes like something my mom would make at home. Not for everyone, but I loved it I ordered beans and rice with my 5-taco combo. Very good and seasoned well. My fav was the beans Quessabirra: OMG soooo delicious. The broth and meat were perfection. Highly recommend the birria ******** BONUS! They have a salsa bar with 5 salsa options! My fave was the Mango Habanero and Avocado. The mango habanero had a good spice to it *********** I think my favorite part of the experience was the bar! Oh my goodness, the drinks were absolutely delicious! I loved each one. Let me break them down for you. Mangonada Margarita: They use real mango puree and Tamarindo Smirnoff. Execution was perfect Coconut and Tamarindo: Tamarindo Smrinoff and coconut? Why haven't I combined these two earlier? This combination is heavenly; it was my favorite drink of the night Tropical Tamarindo Marg: Fresh Fruit puree from watermelon, passion fruit, pineapple, and Tamarindo Smirnoff. This drink took me on a tropical escape The bartender was awesome! I believe his name was Pedro. He is a drink master! I loved that they use fresh fruit puree in their drinks The bar is also well stocked! So many different types of liquors I also got to try their frozen drinks mixed with their house Tequilla "Suerte." They come in 3 flavors: Mango, Tamarindo, and Horchata All 3 were delicious and executed well! My fave was the tamarindo and the horchata. The tequila blends in so well in the frozen drink I had the opportunity to talk to the owner and really loved his vision to have a place where the community can come together, eat, drink, and have a good time. I really see this place taking off, and I hope others take the chance to give this place a shot. I loved my experience here. Everything was great! Can't wait to eat some more birria and drink some delicious cocktails!

Street tacos, trompo and barbacoa
Javier B.

Met up some friends for lunch here after one of them heard about it through social media. We walked in and were greeted kindly by the staff. I decided to try the street tacos, a few trompo and a few barbacoa with cilantro and onions. Both were really good but I slightly preferred the trompo. They also have a plethora of sauces to choose from, all of the ones I tried were really good. One of my friends tried a milanesa torta and it was HUGE! Sometimes when things are that big the taste isn't there but he said it was actually very good as well. Solid spot for some tacos and tortas!

The best barbacoa tacos I ever had even better than the restaurant by my place. I would be here twice a week or more if it was closer.

Carne Asada tacos-
Ebony S.

¡Recientemente inaugurado y, en general, un excelente lugar! Mi pedido de comida está en la foto y se preparó rápidamente. Las margaritas de la casa son una joya y hay varias opciones de bebidas espirituosas para todos los gustos. El servicio en la barra fue excelente y la televisión en esa área también es ideal para reuniones, ver partidos o eventos. La ambientación es casual, perfecta para grupos grandes o pequeños. Lo recomendaría y, sin duda, volveré a visitarlo.

Street tacos and tamarindo margarita.
Kiet H.

Love this place! The street tacos are so good, especially the carnita tacos are so moist and flavorful! They have an amazing salsa bar with 6 delicious and unique salsas. But be warned as they are spicy! Drink wise, I also enjoyed their tamarindo frozen margarita. We've already been back several times!

I tried the 5 taco deal with one barbacoa, one carne asada, and three trompo tacos, along with a carnitas quesadilla and an agua de Jamaica. The carne asada and trompo tacos were good but I wasn't a fan of the barbacoa. The carnitas quesadilla was decent, though nothing particularly memorable. The agua de Jamaica was much sweeter than I prefer, so I ended up taking it home and diluting it with water. The staff who helped us at the counter were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. The only downside was that it felt pretty warm inside the restaurant, enough that we were ready to leave once we finished eating.

TORTA GIGANTE....10/10 delicious!!!!!
Jay R.

I gotta say, I was impressed at this place. Food is LEGIT Mexican food, not no Tex-Mex crap! What made it pleasant, was the cashiers/servers. Very patient taking our large order, very detailed and meticulous! This is our new breakfast sport after church!!!

Cynthia F.

Amazing tacos!!! And a full bar - how can you miss that?? We had the birra quesadilla - delicious and a couple tacos. There are so many salsas to try - great place!!

Jasmine M.

The tacos here are pretty good and the staff especially the bartender is kind. I can tell he's passionate about the drinks he's making and also quite knowledgeable. Made me their version of a espresso martini and it was legit!

Street tacos
Miranda D.

The food is definitely good, lots of flavor and not to greasy! Multiple hot sauces to try which I love a good variety from none spicy to extra hot! They have an open bar which I like if you just want to hang out! The vibes are welcoming and friendly. Seating a little limited along with parking but overall a good spot for good tacos and more!

The start of the show, torta.

CASH ONLY!! Best…read moreTacos in Houston. Taconazo is the pride and staple of Northside. Always a long line but it so worth it. Barbacoa and pastor is easily the best I've ever had. Horchata is not too shabby either. Doesn't taste grainy. Speedy service. Reasonable price. Keep in mind the "Platos/ Plato Regular, etc." are plates of carne. Ideal for taking home.

Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

I'm from Katy; this east part of Houston is very new to me. I don't know where to go for food here, but I for sure now know where to go for Trompo Tacos! The trompo here was bomb! I was in the city for a wine fest and needed tacos to tame my hunger from all the wine sipping. Tacos Las Sultana popped up, and the pictures of the trompo looked insane. After going, I can confirm the trompo looked even better than the pictures. Shout out to the chef cutting up fresh trompo I ordered some tacos de trompo to go, with avocado. The order of tacos came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. I have never had roasted potatoes with my tacos; they were tasty and very buttery. Dude, the way they packaged their tacos... never have I seen tacos from a taco truck packaged so nicely. They wrap everything and even package their salsa. Very clean, very organized This place is over an hour away from me. After eating here I will gladly make the hour drive for this bomb trompo They have a parking lot and street parking available. They have limited seating available inside. They take cash and Venmo payment
