came for taco tuesday around dinner time and wow it was packed. luckily the line moved quick and…read morethe cashier was very patient as she took my order and told me which were the most popular and which was her favorites. i ended up ordering one suadero (brisket) queso taco, one al pastor (marinated pork) queso taco, and two asada (steak) queso tacos. and lemme tell you, wow. soso good. the cheese is an absolute must and the complimentary guacamole on top is heavenly. i topped those with fresh lime, red salsa, and radish at the self-serve salsa bar and wow it was incredible. i ordered 4 tacos, which came out to $14, and that was more than enough food for me. i will definitelyyyy be back, in fact catch me there every week from now on. ratings: - suadero (brisket) queso taco- 7.5/10. some parts of the brisket were super melt in your mouth fatty and delicious while other parts were kinda dry. - al pastor (marinated pork) queso taco- 9/10. the meat was very tender but what sold me was the juicy pineapple. it was perfectly salty and sweet and a must order!! - asada (steak) queso taco- 9/10. can't tell if i liked the asada or al pastor more. the asada was very tender and salty and delicious. highly recommend.

Who doesn't love a good taco?! I really enjoyed how quick this place was. When we got there around…read more5:30, there was quite a long line but thankfully, it moved fairly quickly. I liked how they had a bar for salsa, cold veggies (cucumber, radish, etc...) but also cooked veggies (onions, jalapeño) to go with the tacos. The tacos themselves were delicious! I did wish I could have tried their asada (they sold out) for the day. I got the cabeza, suadero and my husband for the al pastor. Husband really enjoyed his al pastor and I thoroughly enjoyed the cabeza. Portions are fairly decent. One downside was the space itself- the ventilation in the restaurant is poor.

The dining area is actually a pretty good size, very clean, and the cashier whom I picked my order up from was very nice. She asked me to help myself to the salsa bar while my food was finishing up and their salsas were delicious and fresh (you must try the mango habanero salsa)! I just got takeout and ate my lunch back at my desk and although I found the nachos to be expensive (14.02), they were very delicious! The chips appeared to be homemade and not soggy. Lots of crema and crumbled queso along with refritos and chunks of chicken breast. I added jalapenos and of course the salsas that I got and they just complimented my nachos that much more! I will definitely be back and look forward to trying other menu items!

This time I went a different direction though and picked up one of their Torta options - the Cubana. Fresh homemade bread with all of the fixings one would expect in a Cuban inspired Torta - quite large as well! The fam got Super Burritos, some with chicken and one with Al pastor. They had nothing but good to say - my son noting that it was really fresh tasting. The service was friendly and knowledgable, and they had our somewhat large order out in really good time. While you wait there's some arcade machines set to free play, a salsa bar with plenty of options, including roasted jalapeños. The place is clean with plenty of seating, and if I wasn't in a rush I'd have probably eaten there nust to get a few more rounds of Marvel v Capcom 2 in. ;)

They tack on extra charges not listed on the menu. Ordered 3 tacos and paid $19 something (handed him $20 and got some coin change). It was 2 carnitas tacos (listed for ~$4.40 each), plus an El Jefe taco (~$6.75). When he said $19 something it sounded high, I questioned it and he said that's what it is. I didn't want to argue further. I calculated it afterward and this was overpaying by $2 something. The amount is not a big deal, but I don't like being stolen from. So I'm writing this, so that others may avoid the same annoying experience. I was hoping the tacos would be really good and justifies it. But they weren't. The El Jefe one wasn't even as described. He said there would be cheese but there wasn't. The guac tasted old. And the whole plate was incredibly oily. The carnitas ones were less oily but not very flavorful either, and there were chunks of fat. Never again. Also the place was just gross. They used the same ladle for all the sauces, so it was all cross contaminated. The bathroom looked like a mess and had graffiti everywhere too.

On this visit, I had the carne asada, shrimp and chorizo, and fish tacos, and every one of them was delicious. The carne asada was flavorful and tender, the shrimp and chorizo taco had a great combination of smoky and savory flavors, and the fish taco was fresh and perfectly prepared. While the regular prices can feel a bit high, the quality is excellent, and the Taco Tuesday special makes them an incredible value. Don't sleep on the peanut butter salsa especially if you add the chili oil. Super good. Not a big inside spot though, only five chairs at the counter seating by the front window. Mostly a to-go place. If you're in Cypress and looking for a tasty taco fix, Taco Tuesday at Trejo's Mexican Food is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back!

All were good, the 4 stars is adding into account the cheap prices and good agua fresca. So the tacos are $2 and some change for their regular street tacos and they do not skimp on their meat. The horchata and Agua de Jamaica was 4 stars good. Not too sweet. They have a huge salsa bar with grilled onions, cilantro, a bunch or sauces, and roasted jalapeños. Totally worth the money and it WILL fill you up.

I've been coming here since it was originally named Alberto's...The outside seating has not changed. It's still the same round table bench with the red umbrella. Service is the same, they're pretty quick at getting your food prepped. Now I said that their carne asada has always been reliable, but my last two times I've ordered a carne asada burrito (sour cream and cheese only) or a CA burrito, IYKYK, their meat has tasted different. It taste like it's some carne asada and then like some other mystery meat, sometimes liver... Either way I stop eating it when I have tasted it being weird. Maybe it's the other meats they serve that get mixed in. I don't dig that. So for that I would rate them down to a 3 star. I'm rating their 3 rolled tacos as 4 stars! It's the best around. It has the crunch and enough meat inside. It's not all tortilla like some places. We always order it with sour cream and cheese only, with carrots on the side. I've tried adeltacos down the street and it doesn't compare. Get it here.

(not from scratch) i honestly like all of it. but... this is a 2-star restaurant. i can't tell you all the things i've encountered here over the past decades. edit: recent reviews say one-star, and service is mentioned. yes, good point: no offense, but the service at this place IS exceptionally bad. it's so weird that they are still in business. so... idk. it's kind of a three star, but demotion for all the random inedible debris I've found in my food over the years and another demotion for the bad service and another demotion for how often the food is cold and how often the burrito is built without balance with cheese and cream on one side. etc. this place is not for the weak in that regard. this is not for people who need customizations to their order. i go because i'm used to it, but don't take your friends and family unless they'd ride a mechanical bull in a junkyard.... affectionately.

Our favorite part of this place is the awesome spread of extra you get for free at the end of the stand. All the radishes, cucumber, onions, limes you want! And they don't just have bags, they have little plastics cups for all the sauces, double points for that.

I think I liked the chicharron one a little more than the asada but they were both delicious. I will say, they were quite pricy, 6$ for each one but it was definitely worth it because they were great. I am already thinking about coming back and trying some of their other options, as they have a long list of meats to choose from and even some good vegetarian options as well like rajas con queso or beans. Also, this place tends to get pretty packed. I wasn't able to sit down because all the tables were taken so I had to get my food to go and eat at one of the benches by the college.
