    Tacos $2 each when parked at Raven Tower
    Jeremy T.

    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.

    yummy food truck that we found outside of a bar called drift! Short line, big selection of food. Really tasty stuff here, definitely support these guys if you can!

    Definitely the best tacos al pastor that I've ever had! The meat is tender and deliciously marinated. We'll be going back often and are already telling everyone we know that we've found our new favorite tacos. We also met the owner and he was super kind and attentive. I took some tacos to go and they were still warm :)

    This was the only food truck at raven tower when I went, I ordered the mini tacos which came in a set of 5 for $8. I ordered both the beef and pork which were both very tasty, will probably revisit if the chance allows.

    Delicious, authentic tacos for a good price. They have lots of lounge seating and park tables. A yummy midnight snack.

    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.

Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well. Service was fast and friendly. Tacos and burritos were hefty and full of flavor. Ample parking.

Limited indoor seating, and since it gets busy we usually order to go. When I did dine in it was nice experience, feels authentic like eating a local spot in Mexico. You have the Mexican cokes available, the style of tacos has a big scoop of guac which makes them a bit unique compared to other spots that charge extra for guac. Their tacos are big too! Not the mini small taco tortillas you get in a food truck. These are big tacos so getting 2 is enough for me. I've tried their Asado tacos and their quesadillas and their quesabirrias all 10/10.

    Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

This part of Shepherd is packed with taco options, with Velvet Taco across the street, Little Taco Shop down the road, Torchy's nearby, and plenty of taco trucks around the neighborhood.

They also have a drive-through, a decent amount of parking, a small indoor dining area, and a nice outdoor patio. Just keep in mind that the inside is pretty small and the patio can get very hot during a Houston summer. I really want to like this place because the location and setup are great, but the food, especially the tacos, could use some improvement. With so many really good taco places nearby, I'd have a hard time choosing The Taco Stand over most of the other options in the area.
