Stopped by Liberty Taco for a to-go order, and it completely hit the spot. The service was fast and friendly. My order was ready quickly, and the staff was welcoming, even though I didn't dine in. I ordered the chips and queso with Tejano beef and sour cream and yessirskii it was fulfilling. Instead of using the chips they offered which were good. I used Doritos lime flaming hot chips. That combo took it to another level. The queso was rich and creamy, and the beef added just the right amount of flavor and spice. The sour cream balanced it all out perfectly. Honestly, I could eat that every day seriously!! The chicken fajita tacos were just as solid juicy, flavorful chicken with nicely charred edges, wrapped in warm, soft tortillas. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Even just walking in for pickup, I noticed the space is bright, clean, and inviting definitely somewhere I'd return to for a casual dine-in meal. Great food, great service, and a great vibe. Liberty Taco is absolutely worth a stop if you're in the area.

It's a cold January morning and we came into Liberty Taco to get a quick bite. We were welcomed by a very cheerful lady named Ingris who took our order and told us our food would be served shortly. I ordered the potato, egg and cheese breakfast taco and it was delicious. One was enough for me it was so filling. And if you like your food spicy their habanero sauce is just that. We enjoyed our tacos listening to some lively tunes. Ingris said their lunches are also delicious. When I come back to this area I will come again.

Tacos are fine. Not bad, not great. The menu is interesting so we would return to try others. Barbacoa was good but unseasoned :(

It's honestly so hard to find a good, affordable quick bite in TMC, but I finally found my go-to spot. They have so many tacos to choose from -- tons of fusion flavors, and everything is made fresh to order. I'm not usually a big taco person, but this place completely changed my mind. The prices are amazing, it's super convenient, and there's even plenty of free parking. Love it.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of...Tacos?!?! Liberty Tacos has been a restaurant I've wanted to try for a while and well, the experience was meh. Average at best when it comes to Tacos spots. Located in a shopping center on OST in the Medical Center this quaint little spot boasts pictures and images references Lady Liberty, very charming. It's a cool place for that pit stop for a quick bite. With quesadillas and featured tacos and such as the Liberty Chicken and Loberty Steak taco (which I've been told are crowd favorites) there's enough to choose from. Going with the "favorite" (Liberty Chicken and Liberty Steak Tacos) though tasty, I can't say that I was blown away by the flavor, it was average. Each taco came with fajita like fixins, a touch of Pico and the Protein. The smoke on the Chicken was nice but could have been better with a cilantro lime type of sauce to give it different taste element, but that option wasn't made available, instead it was a mild taco sauce that was anything but mild ( I guess it doesn't help that I'm sensitive to spice). The steak had a bit of a chew to it and didn't give that wow factor when it comes to flavor, but was ok. As for the service, even after sharing that it was my first time, the woman at the counter met me with a rather flat reception, perhaps it had just been a long day for her. None the less the cost of the tacos wasn't bad at about $7 a pop. It's worth a try if wanting a different take on the taco experience. Enjoy!

I absolutely love Liberty Taco!!! The food is so good, I'm craving it now! I come to town once a year for a convention and always stay in the apartments above the restaurant so as you can imagine we frequent Liberty Taco almost daily during our stay!! The vegan options are fantastic and all my non-vegan friends absolutely raved about their other tacos as well.

Baja shrimp (bottom) and Liberty Steak (top)
Shannon T.

This place is such a great local taco place in the med center! I was suprised excited to come try it with some friends!! I got the liberty steak and baja shrimp tacos. My favorite was the baja shrimp! The shrimp were huge and super crispy! The flavors of the sauce, cheese, onions all made for a perfect baja shrimp taco! 10/10 would recommend. The liberty steak taco was also delicious but I felt it did need some of the salsa on it as extra sauce; however, the flavor was definitely there! All in all, I would definitely come back to try some of the other tacos and some queso/guac next time!! Super excited to find a local, affordable taco place! I think each was $4-5ish :-) Also lots of parking in the plaza!

Liberty Taco has plenty of unique and flavorful tacos to choose from at an affordable price. I've been a couple of times and have tried the kogi, Baja shrimp, and tequila shrimp. Their queso is also filling & a generous serving! Each taco is huge - we ordered 3 each but I could only eat 1.5! The homemade salsa are also delicious. The shop is perfect for casual dining in the med center while supporting a local spot!

Bacon egg and cheese and a brisket egg and cheese breakfast tacos
Benjamin K.

Out and about with the wifey on a Friday morning and we feel the need for some breakfast tacos. So why not try Liberty Taco as we see one while driving. So I get two tacos, brisket, egg and cheese and my old favorite that has never let me down bacon, egg and cheese tacos. At this point I'm really looking forward to my tacos, first because I'm really hungry and second because we're sitting near the kitchen and can hear a lot of cooking noises going on in there. So I'm thinking it's taking almost 10 minutes for my tacos to come out, they are going to be hot, fresh and amazing! Well I guess one out of the three ain't bad. It was AMAZING that these tacos that were just made didn't taste hot or fresh. As proof from my taco photo that I took the cheese on my tacos was not melted at all. So after doing a little more investigation, ie eating my tacos they were both cold! The brisket bacon and eggs looked really delicious and I kept thinking in my mind what these would have tasted like if they were even slightly warm enough to melt the cheese? Why even have a kitchen if not to use its devilish charms to make warm or we can all dream hot tacos! I'm thinking next time if I want breakfast tacos I will go to Taco Cabana, while they might not be the best breakfast tacos at least they will come out warm. Side note-the red salsa rates way better than the green salsa but be warned, it's very watery and you will have water running out of the back of your taco no matter how little salsa you use!

This spot peaked my interest because of the different flavor combinations they have. It's not your classic texmex tacos. You order at the counter and they will give you a number. Seat yourself and they will bring the food to the table. I tried the Caribbean Chicken, Cajun Fish, and Liberty Steak tacos. My favorites are in that order. The Caribbean chicken isn't your classic jerk but the seasoning on that chicken was great! And I loved the pico and sauces on that taco. Second was the fish. It's a very good size piece of fish. The condiments on top were good too. They only put one of those peppers on top and wish they gave me at least 3 to taste in each bite. Lastly the steak taco was plain. I added sour cream and their hot salsa to it to dress it up a little. Head up: they charge 50 cents for everything extra. Extra shredded cheese = charge. Extra Sour cream = charge. I don't like that. Should be able to fix our tacos up the way we would like it without paying extra for every little thing.

12 Chicken Tinga  11 Caribbean Chicken *Chips & Queso

I noticed this place a while back on my daily commute to work and just figured it was another cliche taco spot with "exotic" flavors so I never gave it a try. After giving it a try today I've realized, I was right. The service and look of the restaurant is very nice, however, I ordered to go, just wanted a quick in and out. It's a order and pick your own seat kind of place with a chill hipster vibe. Ordered two tacos and queso and came out in less than 10 minutes so that's good. I only stay about a 3-4 minute drive away so food was still hot when i started eating. I ordered the Chicken Tinga and Caribbean Chicken tacos and the regular chips and queso. This ran about $15 and some change The Chicken Tinga lacked any flavor profile and just had a hunk of avocado on top of the taco with none of the other noted toppings. The tortilla was doughy for both tacos and could've used a bit more cook time. There was a lot of chicken, but flavorless. The Caribbean Chicken taco also was no star. With the chicken having a bit more flavor, it did not match the flavor profile of the description. No spice. No jerk flavor (more of a sweet bbq sauce type situation). The mango had no flavor even and lacked sour cream on my taco except a few sprinkles. The only good part about this experience was the queso. Just your typical mid of the road queso that you would expect at a place like this. My chips seemed as if hot fresh ones were put on top of older stale chips. So the best of the experience was also mid. All in all, I could've have continued to pass this place everyday without going in and I would have been perfectly fine.

4 different tacos
Aman A.

Great portions, fun taco options, and fantastic customer service. I got way too much food, usually I'll eat 4 tacos if it's from an authentic taqueria, but these are a little less authentic of course (considering they have Thai, Jamaican, etc options) but still delicious and the portions are LARGE as you can see in the pics. Each tray is 1 taco. I didn't get the cashier's name, but the service was the best I've ever had in a fast casual place like this. He took my order, brought out my food, checked on me midway through, and offered to take my trash too. Give that man a raise.

Complementary valet (of course we tip) is a great benefit as parking is slim. Our waitress was Kady. She's been there for 50 years! Talk about an original. She was attentive to our needs but all business. We started with guacamole and queso. Guac was a huge portion with all the add ins. Queso was delish and served with fried flour tortillas (my fav). The gratis green dip, red sauce, and thick, crisp chips were on par. The fajitas. Just so so. Honestly, it reminded me of Taco Cabana. Very disappointing. Very little flavor and tough. The rice was yucky, the refried beans were the worst! Reminded us of the frito lay bean dip in a can. Even the Borracho beans were bad. HEB's in the can are far better. We received 2 corn and 2 flour tortillas. Fajitas served with pico, guac, sour-sour cream (I didn't even like that). Iced tea was fair. All in all, Fajitas very disappointing. If we had not been on the best fajita quest, I most likely would have ordered the chicken caldo soup. That never disappoints.

The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

Mexican Sugar breaks that mold completely. This is the most legit, wonderful, bougie, over-the-top Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. This was my second trip to Mexican Sugar. The first was in Grapevine. After this visit to the Montrose location, I have officially decided that when I am in Texas, I will seek these places out. They are that good. First, dress up. I doubt there is an actual dress code, but this is not the place where I am showing up looking like I just finished mowing the yard. Come here to be seen. Come here to show out a little. The place is beautiful and has that kind of vibe. Second, the drinks. Hell yes. Fancy, creative, excellent, and impressive enough for even the person who has seen every ridiculous cocktail presentation imaginable. And then there is the food. My God, the food. The salsa and queso are legit AF. The street corn is heaven in a bowl. Get several orders. I am serious. One is not enough. The carne asada was amazing. Honestly, I could keep going, but at some point this review is just going to become me yelling about how much I love Mexican Sugar. I LOVE MEXICAN SUGAR. OK, YOU GET THE IDEA. WHY AM I YELLING?

At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed. Maximo makes ambitious food feel generous rather than fussy. Come hungry.

Honestly I am fairly disappointed in this place as I had been anticipating it for the longest time…read more I was able to snag reservations about 1 month in advance for a Saturday dinner. The restaurant is located in a quiet area in West University with a good amount of street parking. The restaurant itself is decorated with a lot of character and personality and they have seating inside and outside on their covered patio. Don't get me wrong, the service here is amazing. The servers are very attentive, and I appreciate the chefs coming out to explain their dish. However, the dishes themselves were basic and lacked specialty. My boyfriend and I got the Chef's Tasting Menu. I got the drink pairing. As a Chef's tasting menu, I would expect the restaurants' most precious meals. The short rib was dry and the rest of the other dishes were unmemorable. The only dish that truly caught my eye was their Tres Leches, but this was given on the house as it was our anniversary. The drink pairing I got was well worth and all of the drinks were flavorful and paired well. Overall, I'd hope that their chef's tasting menu would improve as they rotate their dishes. I would try to come back to give it another chance.
