What a great experience! A friend brought me to this gem of an authentic Mexican restaurant, and everything was delicious. The menu has great options, and every dish we tried was full of flavor and felt like home-cooked goodness. One of my favorite parts was watching the lovely ladies making the tortillas fresh right in front of us such a warm, homey vibe. and quick service My favorites today: Tacos (corn tortillas): * Chorizo con huevo * Fajita * Chicharrón en salsa verde Menudo Tamales And of course... Mexican Coke always hits! Can't wait to return, definitely a must-try and a great small business to support. read more

I came here expecting to get blown away. "There's always a line", "get there quick before they sell out!", "super authentic". I got a barbacoa and a mole and my god they were bland. Yeah the tortillas were homemade but they still weren't very good. I'm sure this hits some sort of mark for people back in Mexico or something but as a white guy I guess I don't get it. read more

Laredo Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Okay seriously, if you haven't been here you're missing out! This place is tiny but mighty! There's actually two locations and maybe a third if I'm not mistaken. The staff is so nice and there's always a line but it moves quickly. On to the tacos, fresh handmade tortillas, a big variety of tacos (try to get there by 10am, this is around the time they start to run out), they're so big, you may not need more than 2 or 3! You pay when you leave. They do close at 3pm so you want to get there early. I love the mole taco, tripa, huevo con chile, and barbacoa. You really can't go wrong. Plus it's very very very decently priced! Highly recommended! read more

I had a pretty good experience here at Laredo taqueria. Food was delicious & it felt like a super authentic experience. I got two tacos - a brisket taco and an eggs and potatoes taco. Both were very delicious. The brisket was amazing!!! I would come back here again just for more brisket. The interior was nice, but there was a very long line. I feel like we waited for about 30 min just to order. But this was still a very fun experience. I'm definitely coming back here. read more

Pretty good. Came in the mid morning. After the busy breakfast rush & not too long before the lunch crew. Service was good. Prices are more than fair. I ordered coffee, barbacoa taco, and a potato & egg taco. Tortillas were fresh as were the fillings. Didn't make me go "ooooh wooow" on the flavor side, but I will say their salsas were yummmy! The verde is the best. Didn't care much for the coffee though. And no I know this isn't a fancy coffee spot, but mine tasted like it was old or burnt. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. As I sat, I watched the line build up for the late breakfast/lunch rush start. So they must be doing something right. I'll be back again to try out more when I'm in the area. Yelp on my friends! read more

Visited the north side original location. Of course we waited in line, luckily it was a line formed inside the restaurant. Line moved pretty quick. We had barbacoa tacos, which were good but not the best. The tortillas were really good, and you can see the hard working ladies making them by hand. Overall pretty good breakfast tacos. read more

Best Breakfast Tacos hands down! Whether you are trying to catch some tacos on your way to work or to have lunch this is the place to be! They tons of different tacos from chorizo and papa, barbacoa, egg and potato and more. Believe this place has plenty of options for any taco lover! Please note you can also make your breakfast taco into a plate if you want a more fulfilling breakfast with beans and rice. They have two different types of salsas and have the perfect spice to add on to your taco. They sell Menudo as well and so savory. I would recommend with a taco to get the full experience! The waitress are quick to get you seated and keep the tables clean. The restaurant is very cozy and has plenty of seating. However, please be patient as a line forms quickly, but it is worth it!! read more

Authentic Mexican breakfast tacos with soft fresh hot flour tortillas/ maiz tortillas. Been a hidden gem for decades and hasn't changed a bit. Stand in Line ordering so know what you want coming in, (the taco prep ladies don't have time for that....). Still, decent pricing considering everything else is gone up in pricing. I ordered 6 flour tortilla tacos to go for $18 and their tacos are faat morning clients are mostly contractors so the parking lot is full of dually trucks. Exiting the parking lot got me anxious cause of the traffic i didn't notice coming in building up. Got in a few minutes late to work because of it but it was okay cause i brought tacos read more

Workers were rude, food was ok, customer service was not good, Atmosphere was ok. Server's seemed like they didn't want to be there.

Even with the long line, the service was great. The line moved fast. I order 20 tacos for the shop and it was a hit. Can't wait t go again.

The location Washington is my fave. The one on Fulton comes in second. This one is pretty good too. Oddly enough they all taste a little different. Not sure if it's the same family or not. Can someone confirm this? If you want some real food stop in and try their tacos. They have so many options and from what I have tried they all have been really good. The sauces are good too. I've tried their beef fajita, carne guisada, breakfast tacos and many more. I have always been very pleased with the food here. Really good portions too for the money. Check out the pics I posted. I think you will enjoy them just as much as I do. They get really packed on the weekends but the line moves fast. They are very efficient here. I will definitely continue to go to all of their locations. Great job Laredo! read more

I've lived in Houston all my life and didn't know this place existed until my Fiancé took me absolutely delicious great food and service

I've been coming here for years. It's charm was being a small neighborhood taqueria with good food. I went there yesterday and was surprised with how much their tacos went up. $3.00 tacos!! Are the tacos good yes. Are the tacos worth $3.00? No! No taco is worth $3.00. Especially when the restaurant hasn't improved and still has the same dusty banners from years ago hanging from the ceiling. You can find the same good tacos for a lot less at any up and coming taqueria read more

My mom told me the nopalitos tacos she tried 6 years ago were different at this location, but I didn't believe her. Well, I'm now a believer, as this location is surprisingly different and better than the Washington location. I'm not sure if the Washington location makes their flour tortillas homemade, but you will see ladies rolling out tortillas with a rolling pin or tortilla press and throwing them on a griddle here. And they're absolutely fresh and delicious! I tried the nopalitos and egg taco as well as their eggs with green salsa. Both were SO good on those homemade tortillas. One other noted difference is the cheese they use here is Oaxaca instead of orange cheddar. It's way better for sure! I also had the agua de jamaica (hibiscus) which is sweet and slightly tart and kind of like a more natural version of koolaid. They have a long line like the other location, but instead of standing outdoors, it winds around the restaurant inside. You get a pretty strong scent of Fabuloso cleaner inside, so I would recommend taking your food to-go if you're sensitive to strong cleaner smell like me. Between the two Laredo Taqueria locations, I would definitely give the Calvalcade one the edge! read more

It really Sucks they don't update info. They say closes at 6:00pm and you drive all the way there and get there just after 5:00pm and they are already closed. Update your closing times!!!!! read more

Great, fast spot for a delicious taco. You order cafeteria style and a waitress will ask if you want drinks and how many are in your party for a table while you're in line. Choose between a corn or flour tortilla - they're fresh! You also have the option to add some refried beans to your tortilla. My favorite is the Barbacoa but there are all kinds of great meat and veggie options. The breakfast egg/potato taco was pretty good, but the traditional ones are definitely the best choice. The salsas were alright, but a bit more watery/not spicy enough for my taste. Highlights for me are the fresh tortilla and generous serving of meat for the price. read more

Viva la revolucion de tacos! The best hidden gem inside the loop boasts a classic old-school fusion of taqueria and old-fashioned South Texas style taqueria. Choose to dine in, and the cute young Mexican waitresses will serve you after you have chosen your meal via a micro-cafeteria set-up that allows you to pick from the classic array of Mexican taqueria goodness. And like any good Mexican restaurant in taqueria fashion, the menudo and caldo de res is ALWAYS in limited supply so get there quick. The other aspect that speaks to the genuine authenticity of this fabulous gem is the fact that the cans of soda that you order are how you get your Coca-Cola. Sorry, gringo amigos, no hay refills here. You pay to play, just like any good taqueria you have salsa that is made fresh and with care and love that resonates with an origin of a family recipe born of care. The best feature of this place is the Sunday morning special. Otherwise known as Joe's special. For a mere $12 you get a pound of barbacoa, a ton of hot, fresh corn tortillas, guacamole, and pico de gallo and a 2-Liter bottle of Coca-Cola. And trust me, you can feed an army with this. Cheaper than a brunch at La Strada and if you are hungover, Joe's Special will kick you into high gear with a pep in your step! Snake over to this gem via 45 North - from Downtown, exit Cavalcade, turn right and it will be immediately on your left next to the Exxon on the corner. Grab a Joe's Special on Sunday, get back south on 45 and be back in Midtown and enjoy. read more

This is the real deal here. Muy authentico, de verdad. Brightly painted outside so that you can't miss it when you drive past and an explosion of colors inside, with penants and piñatas, this is a place of the people. A working class, first class taqueria that makes food that the average person coming in both appreciates and understand. Entering, you go to the line of taco assembly, where - in Spanish is best - the ladies ask you tacos for here or to go? Corn or flour tortillas? Beans or no beans? NOW, what do you want on the taco? And the selection, my friends, is great. Carne Asada - stewed and fried chunks of pork that are meltingly tender and well-seasoned-, Chicharon - pieces of stewed pork skin and pieces of meat that is both exceptionally delicious and an acquired taste - huevos con papas, huevos con chorizo, huevos a la mexicana - eggs with potatoes, sausage or with tomatoes, chilis and onions - and beef picadillo - a ground beef and potato filling - are all among the standard offerings. All are also very good. The mac daddy of stuffings is the weekend barbacoa, which is so delicious and generally least fatty that I have found in town. Ask for that on a corn tortilla, with beans, and topped with cilantro and onions and a squeeze of lime......Wow, my mouth is watering just writing that!!! If you ask really nicely about this time of year, those ladies also have some hand made tamales in the back upon request. I have even had them offer sweet tamales, which is an unusual and so very delicious alternative to the standard pork or chicken. These tamales are actually flavoured in the masa (dough) with cinnamon, a bit of piloncilo (Mexican style brown sugar) and have a variety of additions, from sweet corn to raisins....they are not overtly sweet, but a hint of sweetness that adds a nice touch. Drinks are the standard issue horchata (sweet rice and cinnamon drink) lemonade and tamarind. In the bottles, however, the offer the Mexican Coke made with real cane sugar (Not diet cokes, my friend, sorry).. Also, on weekends, they have also had cafe de olla, a lightly brewed coffee flavored again with cinnamon and piloncilo. Speaking Spanish here is most helpful, but not required. However, a few minutes eating these tacos in this location and it is very easy to imagine that you have somehow been taken to Monterrey for tacos with a good friend. read more

When you dine in and order food to go too and they tell you it will be in the front when you're ready to go and then you pay and ask for your order even telling the cashier what you ordered and they still give you the wrong thing. Waste of money I guess next time don't order food to go until you're ready to leave and don't forget to check your order. Someone was definitely not happy with their breakfast read more

We tried it over the weekend, and I must say, their tacos are scrumptious. I had a potato/egg taco, and a cactus/egg taco. Everything is made in house, and the owners are enforcing the mask policy along with social distancing for customers. read more

Long line to get food but that's okay. Picadillo was great but chorizo was just average. Green salsa was hot but flavorful. Cons: You have to get a lady's attention to order. Myself and hubby got skipped over. After ordering, I tried to pay and got sent away. Note: if you're eating at the restaurant, you can't pay till after you eat. If you are taking your food to go, you can pay right Away. I read in previous reviews that people were complaining about getting salsa for their tacos from the big bowls.. Well that is for to go peeps. Your salsa will get brought to you by a waitress if you are eating at the restaurant. You also will get asked what you want to drink while trying To order your tacos and I'm pretty sure this is why we got skipped while ordering. Your drinks and salsa will take about 5 ish minutes to get delivered to your table. Also, I tried to sit at a table, and a waitress told me I couldn't sit there. Then she put a couple that was behind us at that table. Ummm okay. That was rude. Hubby couldn't wait for the drinks so he eventually got up and grabbed the minute maid Orange and apple juice. Overall, it was okay. Same experience as the washington location. Definitely NOT the best tacos in houston!! read more

First time trying this place. Did have to wait in line inside the restaurant; about 10-15 mins. I've heard there's usually a line that leads to the outside. I really liked the food and loved the tortillas de harina (flour). You wait in line, order your food at the counter, and find a table to eat/sit at. I ordered a barbacoa taco and egg/potato taco; both really good. The waitress took our drink order while we ordered food and later brought it to us along with red and green salsa. Loved their green salsa! The first part of the restaurant gets pretty hot since that's where they have the food and cook the tortillas. Does have a parking lot. With so many people coming through the restaurant, spots do get limited. There's also a laundromat next door. Order 4 tacos Small menudo 2 aguas (drinks) Large menudo to go Total $31 read more

This place is below average. I ordered the potato and egg, chorizo and egg and barbocoa. Nothing was great, the eggs were dry. The best thing on my plate was the tortilla and that was even too thick. The horchata was beyond sweet, my husband probably has diabetes now. And the worst of all is the music, it was blazing loud and this is during breakfast. It's safe to say I won't return. Also they don't have enough seating. Parties of two are using the 4 seated tables. When families like myself actually need 3 or more seats there aren't any available. The staff should reinforce their guesses to sit at an appropriate table. I seen at least 6 tables with 2 ppl in them when there was plenty of two sweaters available. $24 for two plates and one drink, not worth it. read more

Had the menudo which was very good. But also had some tacos of barbacoa, carnita, and Fajita guisada. My GF had the barbacoa and picadillo y nopales tacos. Both the barbacoa and carnita where flavorless and not very good. The fajita and picadillo with nopales had good flavor. Be ready to wait in a long line and make sure you have CASH because that's all the take. read more

The food is great, and so were the waitresses. But the owner ringing you up at the register is a CROOK! I ordered 2 tacos ($2/ea) small fideo ($1.50), and small lemonade ($1.50). He did not even ring up in the register, and initially told me my total was $7 and ran my card for $10. I asked for an itemized receipt, and he looked at me dumbfounded. He went over to the register to ring up a random $10 "NON TAX" item and printed me the receipt. I requested an itemized receipt again specifying how much each item costs. He became agitated at that point, ignored me completely from then on, and continued ringing up other customers. I don't care about the $3, but his actions were very shady. On the way out the waitress apologized "Sorry he's like that. " read more

I've been eating at the Cavalcade location for years. It is my favorite taqueria, not just in Houston, but anywhere. "Taqueria" does not adequately describe the restaurant. They have excellent weekend menudo, a few plates, cabrito, fajitas, etc. This Sunday morning I stuffed myself with three tacos: carnitas, a spicy beef, and eggs with nopales. There were at least nine more options. You need to understand the system. There will likely be a long line. Parking is tight. The waitresses speak Spanish. Do not be deterred. While in line you will be asked if you are eating in or taking out and what you want to drink. When you finally get to order tell the server which kind of tortilla you prefer (both flour (harina) and corn (maiz) are made by hand to order). The server will ask you if you want beans. Say yes; it is a nice schmear or refrieds. Then look over the steam table of offerings and order. Remember there is more than tacos. Do not be deterred by the lines, parking, or the curmudgeon owner at the cash register (pay when you are done). This place is amazing. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE .... You know a great place when there is a 15ft line with every walk of life standing in it. The tortillas are very good ... fluffy and everything that a flour tortilla should be. The barbacoa is the best in town ... hands down and its for one reason .... It's doesn't grease out my tortilla. Which unfortunately the Chorizo and egg taco does so that is not my favorite there ... way too greasy but everything else is great. My suggestions: Green Chilies and egg taco with beans, the Barbacoa Taco and the tamales. Good To Know: The earlier the better .... if you go later in the evening most of the good stuff is gone and they even run out of tortillas to serve. read more

Food here is Legit! Had 2 Tacos One De Pastor with a Corn Tortilla Y Una De Fajita De Harina (Flour) & a Gordita De Pastor! (The Boy was "Hongry"!) It was really good they had some real spicy slasa verde that was super spicy but also super flavorful! Thankfully I had a Giant Limonada! Also Very Tasty! Their Tortillas & Gorditas are all Homeade & really make the difference between just filling your belly & Satiating the Soul! I was a bit Worried at 1st when I got there because everything was set out in Troughs like a Buffet. But damn the food was good. Also You must Try some Empanadas de Cajeta! (Caramel Empanadas) Yes I ate Like a PIG ok!!! Give this place a Try today! read more
