Tacos from food trucks in Houston cannot be beaten. Straight up invincible eats that are light on the money but heavy on the flavor and filling. Jarro is no exception. Their tacos are un-effing-believable and are some of my favorites ever. The bistec (steak), carnitas, pastor, suadero, and fajitas are amazing with powerful taste. Churros are also tasty with the cinnamon sugar finish. They also serve quesadillas, tortas, burgers, and some other mexican street food but the tacos are why you're here. Order from the truck and then eat inside the small building. You can also call ahead your order (best option). Give this place a shot and then remember this review when you return. Cause you will return! read more

Top notch! This is very good food. I suggest you give them a shot. You will not be disappointed! Food: beef fajita is amazing! I really liked the pastor and the bistec was good as well. I really enjoyed all of the meats and was very impressed with this place! I went to their other location years ago. Like 14 years ago or so. I am glad they are still around. The red sauce is extremely hot! My mouth was on fire! Very good but got dam it's hot for real lol. They have like 4-5 hot sauces and all of them are really good! Very impressed with the food. Everything is cooked fresh and made to order. Customer service: the man that answered the phone was really nice and spoke English. The next day I ordered the lady was very nice but didn't speak English. Made it really hard to order. That has to impact their business. Get people that speak English! Lol. Great food and I will definitely be back. I'll just have to practice on my Spanish haha. The prices are very fair. The tacos are big and packed with meat. I will probably go back soon. read more

Jarro Cafe - Two fajita one pastor - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm giving this five stars because the tacos were just that good. Plenty of flavor. I have the beef brisket tacos. I visited about 1:15 for lunch and the crowd was light and the turn around was timely. I sat there and enjoyed my tacos there are some tables where you can sit. You can get the combo that comes with a drink and runs just over $8. Overall nice spot and I recommend as well will visit again. read more

The guy working there stated that its a food truck based on mexico D.F cuisine. I mean i never been there, but im Mexican and grew up eating Mexican food so trust me on this. We only stopped by because the place was aesthetically pleasing, it had tables for you to dine on and was surrounded by lights. But the food was just a big waste of money. My burrito was $12!! Like man i thought the were going to be big since they are called Burrito California. But i was wrong they were small, and they tasted below average (they were bad). Since they didn't come along with anything i decided to order some cheese fries, but those where also not that great. I didn't eat the tacos but my mom said they were bland and just horrible. My dad got the torta and he liked it. The churros where good though, and also let me add something more tragic. The salsa. The women working there label their sauces as not spicy and the other very spicy. I tried the very spicy one but for me that was a very mild sauce, im not a person who east a lot of spicy food, so this just tells you that it was not spicy at all . The people where nice though read more

I had the fish taco and it was awesome. Pure ambrosa! They offered 4 different hot sauces which were all good. The brown bottle is the hottest with the number 7 on it* I also tried the cubed beef with lime juice which was also yummy with avocado added for like .25 There is a choice of flour or corn tortillas with a dollar difference for the two* Cheese is also additional but worth the small upcharge.. I definitely recommend this food truck as I did not get His name but He was very nice with minimal English LoL* read more

Went on a recommendation of a co-worker after eating subpar tacos at the local meat market. It blew away my expectations and then some. The Chochinita Pibil was outstanding and the flavors were so layered. The Pastor was the best Pastor taco I've had in Houston and the citrus notes complemented the pork outstandingly. On the way out, I had a hot dog all the way and was also surprised as to it's complexity as well (Spicy Mayo, Salsa, Pickles, Radish). I can't wait to try the rest of the meat selection (10 total). Definitely going on my list of places to take guests to! read more

I stopped by Jarro Cafe on a random day and honestly wasn't even sure they were open when I pulled up. I was looking forward to trying their Al Pastor tacos but unfortunately they were not serving them that day. I ended up ordering the fajita and Chicken Pastor tacos. The service was not great but I usually don't expect much for grab and go places like this. After trying both tacos I can honestly say I would stick with the chicken tacos. The beef was tough and not flavorful at all. The chicken was full of flavor but a bit dryer than I usually like. I know Jarro's is a well known spot but I will mostly not be back read more

WORST taco truck in town. The bistec is like rubber, I had to spit it out bc I couldn't chew it much less swallow it. What they call Suadero was lousy and the woman at the front is extremely rude and unprofessional. Please please please if u don't mind driving outside of the energy corridor go to one of the actual best taco trucks in town which is El Taquito truck on Richmond and Dunvale. read more

This truck is about as good as it gets. I have been eating at this place for about 2 years. Ownership has changed and its still pretty good. The torta is excellent along with the chicken tinga. Update: 3 years later: this Taco truck is the best in town hands down. It's a gem! I don't care where you live, you must try this place. read more

Very good tacos for a taco truck!! One of those tacos where the fajita tastes so good you don't even have to put salt or lime. The staff is also friendly and welcoming. You can eat and relax in their outdoor patio. read more

Jarro has been in the neighborhood for many years and I can't believe I only recently just tried it! Everything is made to order and it is always fresh, the meat is juicy and full of flavor, and the staff is very nice and pleasant. I love trying something new every time I go and I've not yet been disappointed. I am typically hesitant to go to food trucks but after speaking with the owners and getting to know them, I am very comfortable with their food safety practices and I have eaten here at least 4 times this month! Highly recommend! read more

Jarro Taco Truck is a hidden gem for the Energy Corridor dining crowd. It's an off-shoot of the brick-and-mortar by the same name. Tacos are $2 on corn (with the requisite cilantro, onion and lime), $2.50 on flour. Extras like cheese or avocado are $0.50 extra. Torta and quesadilla options are also available. The meat selection is stout, with ample beef, pork, chicken and vegetarian options available. Unfortunately, Jarro doesn't offer my personal street taco favorite, the barbacoa, but I make do just fine. Three hot sauces are offered (yellow, orange, green), and all are spicy and delicious. Service gets kind of slow, and orders get taken and made practically one at a time. Only one bench exists, and most are to-go orders anyway by area white and blue collars alike. On a nice-weather day, there are worse things than benching it. Cash only. read more

I was excited to try this food truck out, especially since you don't see many on this side of town. But sad to say, it was a bit of a disappointment with the quality of the tacos. Not enough meat in them and the meat seemed overcooked. The tacos are really cheap...so I guess you get what you pay for? If you do go, FYI it's cash only. And there was only one picnic table nearby so more than likely, you'll probably need to take it to go. read more

Decided to stop on a whim. So glad I did. These tacos are legit amazing! I found my new taco spot! read more

These guys were on Gessner Rd. but they shut down that location, their customer service sucked at the restaurant which is why I imagine they closed, but the tacos omg I would drive anywhere for these tacos, I'm Mexican born and I have a very discerning palate, for me authentic Mexican food seems to be a challenge here, what you find is tex-mex but authentic Mexican is something else. I can attest that these tacos are legit, they are the best I've had on this side of the border. The Pastor are delicious! 10/10 they could add more pineapple slices, I only get one piece per taco and the pineapple really gives it that satisfying burst of flavor while paired with your choice of salsa. The Fajita is also thoughtfully seasoned, 9/10 however they could clean it out better since I hate having to chew on the fat, but the flavor makes it all worth it. The salsas are in my personal opinion what sets them apart 10/10, they have a selection of 5 different salsas they are mouthwatering delicious and hot! so proceed with caution. Go for the orange, green, or yellow salsas those are unique and so good! Thank you Yelpers! I found their taco truck on here and have made several trips to this location although is a bit far from my side of town. I come here at least twice per month to enjoy me some tasty one of a kind tacos. read more

Best taco truck I've found in Houston. The vegetables are incredibly fresh and the meat always seems marinated... This morning I had the steak and egg taco which they serve with the egg Sunnyside up which was a nice surprise... The flavors of the runny egg, steak, and lettuce and onion and tomato and cilantro not only looked delish, but once melded together provided a truly satisfying mash of flavor and texture... Highly recommend read more

Me eating out of a Taco Truck ... somebody should have been there with a camera! Wait a minute! I was there with a camera ... but was so wrapped up in my Tacos Al Pastor ... I forgot to do a selfie! As for the tacos? Me gusto! Es el Mejor! These are seriously good! The Jarro Taco Truck has even won awards from the local newspaper ... you know ... those "Best Of" type awards. And since people vote for what they like ... those awards are pretty good indicators of what folks really like. While I was there, I also got to sample some of their signature sauces ... Whoo Boy! Some of those with Habanero and such ... they are real heaters! Do like I did, and save a little sour cream to swallow after toasting your tonsils. The dairy cools the heat of the pepper sauce. Great sauces, though. I would go again and again, if this place was anywhere closer to Georgia! read more

These really are the best tacos in town. They are so good that I am still sitting in the parking lot as I write this. I had to tell the world. I came from Brownsville and have been on a never ending journey to find the perfect street taco. Jarro tacos is it. I got the bistec tacos and tho they looked a bit different then I was used to, the flavor and taste was on point. I almost regret finding this place cuz I'm going to have to drive down here all the time. Word to the wise, I spent about 15 min searching for this place. They are parked behind schlotskis(can't spell) not in the HEB strip center. Enjoy your tacos!!! read more

I've worked on, and eaten at, a TON of food trucks. And i honestly love this place. It's clean, the food is amazing and totally unique even Down to the basic cheeseburger. Pastor tacos are always good but jarros pastor is something special, and don't even get me started on their awesome sauces. I also like that they sell the glass bottle comes and jarritos and not just can soda. read more

Jarro Cafe - Red chicken and pork with added pineapple! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Delicious and cheap street tacos. These are not fancy, crazy, fusion tacos. It's meat, onions, and cilantro on either a flour or corn tortilla with a lime wedge. There are lots of salsas to choose from but beware, most are hot. Pastor is our favorite with suadero 2nd fave. They also have burgers, hot dogs, and fries for people who don't want tacos. However the tacos are all I can vouch for. There is 1 picnic table and no cover from the elements. But no matter! Eat in your car! We come here probably twice a month as should you! read more

One of the BEST taco trucks! I promise I feel like I am always here! Food is ALWAYS great, fresh, and hot! I have never been dissapointed.

Jarro Cafe - WOW, Maybe the best street tacos I've ever eaten, no lie! - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm giving one star because we waited a little over an hour for our food. There was only one other guy ahead of us waiting for his order and his, took a while too. We noticed he was as desperate as us. After he got his food we though ours was going to be ready soon but we waiting another 30-40 min. I would have appreciated it if they would have informed us of the wait or offer some water at least. I also noticed that a family that got there some time after us got their order first and left even before we got our food. When we first order, we asked for Suadero which they didn't have, then I asked for a Huarache which they didn't have either. According to the person taking our order they were selling tacos, quesadillas and burgers only. We order some fajita tacos, a burger and fries. Right before our order was ready, one of the employees informed us they didn't have fries either and they suggest it for us to get a hot dog instead. At that point I just wanted to leave so I agreed. So at the end they didn't even apologized for the wait. Anyways the food was mediocre, the fajita was a little dry and honestly I think this place is overrated and a little over priced. NOT WORTH waiting for an hour. First time going there and sadly our last. read more

Great for breakfast or lunch and very fast service. You can also text your order, though I haven't done that yet. They also take all credit cards. To me they edge out Mas taco by just a little. They also beat El Ray, however no one can beat the El Ray fish taco. Excellent place! read more

Stopped in while riding my motorcycle around the neighborhood and saw this new taco truck and tent place that had a sign "best tacos in town" . why not stop and try . I tried and this place is far from having best tacos in town.jack down the street has better tacos than that . if your gonna put a sign claiming to have the best tacos in town try to at least be close to that claim. the pastor meat was under seasoned and the nopales were bland lacking salt, if it wasn't for the cilantro and onion there would've been no taste at all. read more

I am so happy that I spotted the new location. It's on Barker Cypress between West Little York and 529. It is opening soon.

This place is so good it should be swamped. But it's not because it's off the beaten path and hard to see from the road. A taco with cheese is like $2.25 and their are a lot of meat options. The taco is even less without cheese. Their green and red hot sauces are really good. Even better mixed. They have variety, quality and value. Try this place out! read more

Solid tacos. Try the red pollo tacos. Fresh ingredients, good portions. Becoming our go to place for takeout tacos.

Just what I wanted. Classic street food. What more is there to say!

This local taco truck serves amazing food. I'd recommend getting the pastor on corn tortilla and drinking some aqua fresca. They also have really good hot sauces. Warning, they are spicy! read more

Wow! Fajita tacos from this truck love and very authentic. 5 stars on the tomatilio salsa! Will be back soon.

The tacos were so good I forgot to take a picture. Great food and really nice crew, but they really need more exposure. If you aren't looking carefully, you'll pass it right up. and they stay open really late which is awesome. read more
