Food trucks offer some of the best food in my experience. For those who may be unaware, LaMacro is a staple in Houston for trompo. So when we felt the need for some tacos we decided to pay it a visit as it had been quite sometime. Location Self explanatory, varies, but on this visit they were located at a bar in the upper heights. Check social media for the latest location. Food - 5* I'm sure other items are great, but it's always for the trompo when we pay it a visit. Street taco style with cilantro, onion, lime with some hot sauce. Deliciousness. If you're feeling bougie up the game with some other toppings. Service - 5* They are quicker than most food trucks unless slammed with orders. Cost - 5* Great value. There's other trucks that compare in value, but typically they only take cash. They have a great thing going here and need to keep it up. Overall Just go. That is all my fellow Yelpers. read more

During my brief visit to the Raven Tower, I got hungry and stopped at the La Macro food truck. They are there pretty regularly, along with operating their restaurant on Washington which I haven't visited yet. The menu was limited and offered just a few basic items: tacos, quesadillas, tortas and a hamburger. They have three meats: beef, chicken and trompo. The guy at the counter indicated that trompo (seasoned pork) was their speciality. On my order, I chose 3 tacos, 2 with trompo and 1 with beef. My favorite was actually the beef, since it was different than the average beef / fajita taco at taco trucks. I thought the trompo was good, but just greasy. I'm not sure it's the best trompo in town since I've had several, but it's good. My favorite was the addicting green sauce, which was the spicier one. read more

This food truck is delicious! I come here every time I see a show at a nearby venue, and it never disappoints. I always get the mini tacos with avocado on top, and they're very tasty. They also have some great (and very spicy) salsa available. The food truck has its own selection of beverages, but if you want something alcoholic, you can visit the Raven Tower bar (they allow food inside). Not too much to say about this place, other than it's very tasty and I highly recommend it! read more

La Macro is a Mexican food truck that was posted up at 8th Wonder Brewery on a Memorial Day. I'm not sure if they're a 8th Wonder Brewery staple or if they move around a bit. Their menu mostly consists of tacos, quesadillas, tortas, and a burger. They are known for their trompo which is seasoned pork. I went with a trompo quesadilla (they have a small and large version) and paid 50 cents extra for sour cream. Annoying that you have to pay extra for what's essentially a condiment. The quesadilla was alright. Not bad but a little dry. Good portion size. I've had better quesadillas but La Macro isn't a bad option. read more

This is your one stop shop for Al Pastor Tacos In Houston. Period. Coming from LA my standard for street and food truck tacos is pretty high and having spent a lot of time in Mexico City, I know a great Al Pastor when I have one. Saul and his team have set up shop right below the iconic Raven Tower, which sports an epic view of downtown Houston. We came here just to check out the Raven Tower but ended up making friends with Saul and his crew and they were so friendly. So if you have a late night craving for high quality Mexican food within the city, definitely come here to check out LaMacro. Simply the best! read more

Parked in the courtyard of the Raven Tower bar this taco truck was much needed after a night of throwing back shots. The staff was nice and told us to go back to the bar and they come find us when our food is ready. If you didn't mind waiting they had a nice playlist playing in the background that you could dance to while you waited. I ordered the beef fajitas tacos, which you can get 5 for $8. The fajita meat was mediocre and the tacos are made with corn tortillas. My friend order the quesadillas and tacos and said the quesadillas were better. But the Salsa Verde (green salsa) was amazing and spicy. It truly boosted the flavor of the tacos. read more

The only thing you need to know is that La Macro offers the best trompo tacos, you needn't waste your time on the other options. The salsas both red and green are spicy so don't get overzealous on drowning your tacos in them. Do squeeze the lemon on your tacos as it will enhance the trompo marinade and order the mandatory Mexican coke. After you're finished with your tacos note that the it is actually a bar with plenty of seating and great entertainment. It is definitely a great choice to eat & hang out. read more

I totally couldn't wait for this place to open. I kept checking for what felt like months. I was so glad when it finally did. A new taco place is always welcome in the neighbourhood! I knew what I was ordering when I went in, and I immediately ordered a couple of their trompo tacos. This pork slow roasted on a spit is delicious. Its making my mouth water just thinking about it. The tacos come served with fresh onions and cilantro on top. They also have both red and green salsa available, but these taco are so good they don't even need the extra sauces. After I finished my initial three tacos I went back and ordered three more. When I went La Macro was BYOB. We brought a bottle of wine, and they provided a bucket of ice and some wine glasses. They had a limited selection of beer. There is a small inside section and large outdoor seating section. The food was delicious, inexpensive and the service was friendly and prompt. I will definitely be back. read more

My first impression of this place is the turnout. Despite this place being out of the way and just near raven tower and white oak music hall, there were about 20 people not even here from the bar. I got 2 of the famous trompo (pork) tacos with cilantro and onion, 2.00$ per taco with 50 cents for sour cream. Very good, but the tacos were small compared to usual. Secondly, the prices are noticeably more expensive than the La Macro website and even worse when compared with what they have on the Raven Tower website. Food came out fast and delicious. A yummy addition to enjoy when you're at Raven Tower!! read more

My husband and I were visiting Houston, on our year long travel around the country, and stayed basically the street. We stopped in one night and were really impressed. I got the quesadillas, he got the dinner combo, and we had a few drinks. It looks like they were still working on stocking the bar because they had taps set up without any beer yet, but you could still get canned beer and mixed drinks. This place has a lot of potential, with its outside seating areas, large screens for watching games, and delicious foods! Being fairly new, they have a few kinks to workout, but otherwise, they were super friendly, and have a great thing going!

Loved this place! It's inside a market and it's super tight and crowded. FYI they only speak…read moreSpanish, no English at all. One of my friends took me here and we all got to try a lot of stuff. We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.

I ordered takeout so can't speak on the dine-in experience…read more I tried the lamb taco, fish taco, chips and medium salsa w/ a side of habanero queso, and a horchata. The flavor of the horchata was good; it tasted a bit watered down but that's on me for not picking up my food immediately. The tacos were filled generously with meat and toppings, and both were super yummy with the accompanying salsas. The chips were thin which is my preference with tortilla chips. The salsa was smooth and the queso was good with a little kick of spice. Everything was pretty good and filling and everything was packed very well. There is a nearby parking garage if you don't want to find street parking

Fantastic flavors all around. The chicken was well seasoned, and the fish was grilled nicely. It's…read moreimpressive how much flavor they get from simple ingredients -- the cilantro added a really nice freshness. The chips and queso are a must every time -- fresh chips with that cheesy queso, what a hit! The churros were also great and paired perfectly with the chocolate sauce. Overall, this is definitely becoming a regular spot.

There's a parking lot, but we went on the weekend, and while the interior didn't look overly full, it was somewhat difficult to find a parking spot. The restaurant itself is clean. Everything is pretty much green and white. There's covered patio seating. You order from a window and there's a large menu printed nearby The menu offers all sorts of tacos, meats, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, quesabirras, sides, and even kids meals. You can get beer, margaritas, and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also a breakfast menu The food was good, and it didn't take too long to come out. My main issue was the service. The individual taking orders seemed to have a bit of an attitude and just seemed "over it." Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did! Cheers!!
