    There is no streetside taqueria in the Edgebrook taco scene that is more famous than El Borrego…read more (#1) While other taco trucks are closing at 3AM, they remain open 24 hours a day and have more staff preparing food than anywhere else. Other places operate as a cart or a truck, but El Borrego is operating out of full fledged bus in a church parking lot. With bright lights and more parking spaces, people flock here more than the rest of the competition. Just sitting in the lot and observing will see plenty of in and out traffic, as appetites and people are buzzing at all hours of the night and day. They even have a handwashing station, which is pretty awesome. Overall, the food is solid. While I've been known to rock a barbacoa and chicharron taco here and there, I especially appreciate the fact they have carne deshebrada (shredded meat), molleja (sweetbreads), longaniza (spicy pork sausage), and milanesa (breaded cutlet) meats. Between 5AM-11AM daily, they also offer breakfast tacos. Site note: I appreciate that they have a handwashing station, despite not having any place to sit (#2). There are also Mexican style hamburgers, piratas + gringa super tacos, tostadas, gorditas, sopes, burritos, and quesadillas. They all have a place for cravings sake, but don't supplant what's available taco wise. A woman constantly shouting orders from the window of the truck. This is 100% part of the experience and should be embraced at all costs. That being said, a lot of people are still confused because they can't (always) understand what she's saying. At $2.50 for corn, $2.75 for flour tacos, it has become standard pricing in the area. It's not the cheapest or the tastiest tacos, but seeing as other competitors have masked their prices, I am appreciative of the transparency. Charro beans are no longer offered for free, at $1 a cup. It is strictly cash only. With bright lights and more parking spaces, people flock here more than the rest of the competition. It is cash only. They get a point for consistency and another nod for longevity, which says a lot in a place that is as saturated as Houston. __________ (#1) For locals arguing noting Taconmadre, they've since become a full fledged restaurant with a drive-thru. Keyword here is "streetside" i.e. de la calle~ (#2) Everyone eats inside or on their cars.

    My nephew insisted to introduce me to this place and he said it's open 24hrs…read more Turn out the tacos are very good. We tried a little bit of different tacos and we like them all. Price range about $3-4 per taco

    Food trucks always come to my apartments and for the first time I decided to finally try one out…read more This is one of the best Pitas I've ever had. Juicy, saucy, and got better with every bite. Just look at that picture you know ain't lying. S/o to the owner/cook he was fast and professional. Easy money.

    My apartment often has "Food Truck Thursdays", and this time, they had Foreign Policy…read more I almost forgot about it, but we get email reminders. They usually include the menu, but I didn't see one, so I went on their website and Yelp for menu/food photos. I need to see what I'm eating. Very much a visual eater. I also like to prep what I'm ordering. I like the Asian, American, and Mediterranean options. Oh and a Latin dessert. I was torn between the gyro and Korean fries. I love fries and Korean bbq, so I went with the Korean fries. I love that they used crinkle fries. It was a little drenched too much with queso that pooled at the bottom of the container. With all the queso, sauces, and Korean bbq flavors, I wanted the fries to balance out the saltiness. When I got home, I moved the fries to a different container to preserve some of the fries. Don't get me wrong, I love queso, and theirs is really good, but it was a little too much. Maybe if it had been spread onto a larger container to even out, it would've been better. My apartment gives discount vouchers, first come, first serve. They were giving out a $10 voucher which pretty much covers a meal. I got there earlier before they handed it out, so I paid for the fries. I thought they already passed out the 10. The assistant manager saw me and handed me one when I walked back in the building. So, I came back later for the churros and caramel sauce for dessert. The portions are a good size. I saved half my fries to save room for dessert. The churros were nice and warm and filled with dulce de leche, I believe. The caramel sauce was delicious to dip the churros in. The wait for the Korean fries and churros separately was about 5-7 minutes. Not bad. There was one person cooking and one taking orders. I enjoyed their food. The pricing is average for a food truck. I hope they are asked to come back sometime in the near future or if I see them at some event to order it again or try something else. Check them out if you see them around!
