    Papa Asada

    I received my order completely spilled and with no care at all. Terrible service from the taqueria for not sealing the food properly or ensuring the order was secured. Very disappointing experience.

    3 Tacos de Quesbirria
    Lacy P.

    I Always order from this Food Truck and I would say one of the best on the southeast side of Houston! I've had the Super Quesabirrias, Gorditas, birria tacos and the Tacos de Maiz. All very delicious! The Birria tacos aren't crispy on the outside but they're nicely dipped in the consommé sauce, stuffed with delicious mozzarella cheese and rich flavorful shredded beef. Sometimes when you order birria tacos the Consommé is salty but theirs is just right. Service is fast and they provide you with green and red salsa with your order.

    12 dollar quesabirria

    12 dollars for 3 quesabirria tacos, but get this they aren't birria they are quesadillas with barbacoa. Talked to the owner and he asked did you taste it, yes I did and it's not quesabirria. He used a steak house as an example for not refunding money and that no business refunds money if you don't like their food. It's not about not liking the food but rather them selling something that clearly isn't. WOULD NOT GO BACK!!!

    Tacos

    Tried this new taco truck because I was in the area and let me tell you, I will be back soon. We got the order of tacos, some quesadillas and a chicken gordita. Everything was fresh and homemade. Love the red salsa and can't forget the delicious agua frescas.

    Visited Tacos Tierra Caliente while in Houston. Timing is funny sometimes. I had just been chatting…read morewith Gretel about breakfast tacos the day we landed in Houston -- and breakfast tacos are one of my favourite things about visiting Texas. We pulled up to this food truck and, while placing our order, I instantly had the feeling that this crew knew exactly what they were doing. That impression proved to be spot on as soon as I took my first bite. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and packed with the kind of simple, honest ingredients that make great breakfast tacos so satisfying. No gimmicks, no unnecessary fuss -- just well-executed food that delivers exactly what you're hoping for. The service was efficient, the operation ran smoothly, and it was easy to see why there was a steady stream of customers. Overall, an excellent breakfast taco stop and exactly the kind of local experience I look for when I'm in Houston. Saluti.

    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

    Came here because my BF wanted to show me what his late nights at Rice were like after a few beers…read more I was tempted to order more than just the hot dog, but we had a heavy lunch. I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals
