    Birria Tacos

    First timers! We will definitely be back if ever in the area. We got Asada tacos, fire.. the meat was so tender and flavorful. Birria Tacos: 8.5/10.. Was stuffed with meat! Nachos: Everything was great EXCEPT the cheese they put on there that messed it up for that. Cute little spot, Customer Service was also great!

    I've been to Frontera in Katy and I actually prefer this one. Place was clean,staff was friendly and attentive. The "chicharon" they give you to start your meal was . The frijoles were amazing. Same for the food. There was no need to add extra salt or anything. The salsa were spicy so a few drops is good enough. The papa was big we barely finished half of it.

    All the food was great but prefer the Doraquesos over regular tacos. The asada and tripa were my fav and beans were really good too They had a little mix up with our order not being printed and they made it right! Staff is nice If you been to taco frontera then you'll like this spot

    Tried this place just now and loved their tacos. They are flavorful and reasonably priced. The place is also very clean with fast service and glad I found a solid taco place near me now.

    Nice place, new clean and spacious. Can't really go wrong here, quick friendly service. With simple flavor profiles, your choice on how you want your protein... some were a bit greaser than others but other than that the flavors were good. You do get a great portion of food for the price.

    The tacos are so good! I recommend 10/10 and will be back! The tortillas are the best both flour and corn.

    Since moving to Houston, finding truly great street-style tacos has been a challenge. Having lived near the Tijuana border and experienced a variety of taco styles, we were excited to discover this spot and give it a try. It turned out to be one of the best taco places we've found in the city. The service was solid, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. While it isn't authentically Ensenada-style, it's a great option that satisfies the craving for now

    Great vibes.

    Great food and very affordable prices. Definitely a must try. The vibe is good. We had the quesadillas and the mulleta.

We ordered pupusas, barbacoa, and a burrito. The pupusas were AMAZING (we got the kids' one), and they came with rice and beans that were also really good. The barbacoa came with two tortillas and was flavorful without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated since I'm not a fan of sweet barbacoa. My mom had the burrito and felt it could've had more flavor, but overall the food was still solid. The staff was super friendly, the bathrooms were clean and nice, and it was a comfortable spot to grab lunch. Definitely a great place to stop if you're hungry and want a satisfying, casual meal. Would come back again!

Waited about 15 minutes for Freshly made pupusas that come with tasty curtido and salsa, included. ( bean and cheese), and an order of platanos fritos that came with black beans and crema; portions large enough to share. The pupusa is one of the largest I have gotten, and the consistency and flavor were exactly the way I remember them from my time in El Salvador; authentic and delicious. Cost was $20 total, but would easily have fed two, and I have enough leftover for lunch, tomorrow, so a good value, for good food! Don't miss this spot; they have juices, and bottled and canned drinks, too. Will surely be back to enjoy more good food from their menu!

We were planning to get dinner at Pappadoux or Pappasito's, but when I looked them up on Yelp, the reviews were not great. Instead, I stumbled upon Letty's and called to see if they had room for our large group. They were incredibly accommodating, and they were able to seat the 13 of us together with only 30 minutes of notice. The decor was fun and beautiful, the food was fantastic (esp the ribeye appetizer,) but it was the staff / team who truly stood out and made our experience so fantastic. From the jefe holding the door open to welcoming us, to our server suggesting off-menu vegetarian options, we could hardly believe how welcome we felt. The restaurant was spacious, clean and incredibly chic / well designed and though we had already eaten too much earlier that day, the drinks and dinner had fantastic flavor, great portion sizes and most importantly.. they were served with so much love. Muchas gracias a mi familia Letty's!!

However, Jose-Luis made sure I had a great first experience. He provided great food suggestions and instructed the staff on how to assemble my tacos. I came for a couple tacos and walked out with four! Let me tell you...the tacos were very good. They had the homemade taste, made with real ingredients! Not a lot of processed stuff. You can taste the difference. While eating I didn't feel as if heartburn was knocking at the door. I'm very excited about the freshness and clean taste. Not overly salty. Some may need salt, but I appreciate the freshness! So excited. The ambiance is causal, with the feel of being at a neighbors house for lunch. Very relaxed. I guess me being from California, being used to fresh tasting tacos, this is a hit for me! I can't wait to return to try some of the other taco meats.

For the tacos- I like onion and cilantro so didn't mind but they ask if you want c&c and they just throw it in all your tacos. So it's best to tell them just on these tacos. I wish they would cook the tortillas a bit more cus they do feel doughy and undercooked. We got egg and bacon there wasn't much flavor. Same for the barbacoa. For them making it "a la Mexicana aka with tomatoes,onions and pepper" it sure had no flavor. The salsa-red was spicy no flavor and I'm not a green salsa person but I ended up using that one more. Before we finished some guy came over and said are you done? And without hesitation quickly removed our "plate" before I could say hey I'm still eating that. Overall it's not a place I'll go back to.

    Serving tacos in the Humble TX area since 2022, Nando's Tacos (not to be confused with the chicken…read morerestaurant) serves up delicious full size tacos. My brother and I stopped in for carryout breakfast tacos on a Sunday morning. Alas, they didn't have brisket breakfast tacos, but had some good alternatives. Their flour tortilla is the choice here, and I believe it is Sonoran style: good enough to just eat by itself. My absolute favorite was the barbacoa ($3.25), very tender stewed beef with added onion and cilantro...not meant to be a breakfast taco I think. The other 3 tacos I tried did have egg. The potato & egg ($3.25) had big chunks of potato and plenty of egg: very filling not particularly tasty. The chorizo and egg ($3.25) was was prepared together, with the small chorizo pieces mixed in with the egg. And the fajita and egg ($4.79) used two slices of skirt steak flavored with fajita flavoring...for my preference, works better in skillet fajitas than in a breakfast taco. They also have menudo on the weekends, and both their corn and flour tortillas are homemade. As mentioned before, the flour tortillas are really good, and the barbacoa is definitely worth a visit.

Between the family, we tried the barbacoa, chicharron, chicken fajita, and a fajita quesadilla. The fresh homemade tortillas really make a difference in every bite. I'd read reviews mentioning they were huge, but honestly, I didn't find them particularly oversized. Not a complaint at all, just not what I expected going in! My daughter loved her quesadilla and especially the cheese pull, which passed her personal "cheese test" with flying colors. The chicharron in salsa verde was a standout for me, perfectly seasoned, with no need for extra salt or salsa. Personally, I'd ask for the onion to be chopped just a bit smaller but that really is the only "complaint" I have. I also ordered the charro beans based on earlier reviews, and they were every bit as flavorful as promised. I'm already looking forward to trying their fresh-squeezed orange juice on our next visit. The staff was wonderfully welcoming from start to finish, and my husband, who went in with low expectations, was blown away by how delicious everything was. We're both so glad we gave this place a try. If you're looking for comforting, well-seasoned food in a warm, inviting setting, Nando's Tacos is absolutely worth the visit.
