    Their storefront off Old Spanish Trail

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Nancy K.

    I wanted to like this place, the interior had a great vibe and was very clean. The workers were nice. But my tacos were not good. The potato and egg taco would get 1 star sadly and the jalapeño sausage egg and cheese taco get 3 because the sausage and the sausage was flavorful and a little warm. The eggs were room temp and tasted like they had been made earlier. The tortillas were barely warm and tasted like machine made and precooked to be reheated. The cheese on top was not melted at all. It was really disappointing. The potatoes in the potatoes and egg had no seasoning or flavor and some salt and red salsa perked it up enough for me to eat. Beware that salsa. It is housemade and does taste good but it is extremely watery and will all run down the end of your taco as you eat.

    B3 Chorizo, Egg & Cheese
    Erika F.

    Good service and ambiance. The chorizo egg and cheese taco was almost nasty. There's almost little to no egg in the taco. As a hispanic who loves tacos de chorizo y huevo Im very disappointed. I give it a 0/10. I completely put it down after 2 bites and tried to pick it up again at home but still couldn't finish it. Thats what I get for trying Mexican food on a whim near downtown . The steak egg and cheese taco 7/10. Steak was dry and almost chewy, there was more egg than steak.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

    While there's nothing extraordinary about the kind of business Taro specializes in (#1), the…read morelocation alone is worth noting. Situated directly across the street from NRG Stadium along Kirby, it's ideally placed to capture the slice of tourists and locals. Considering the wide selection of Japanese-inspired fare, the potential is there -- but unfortunately, the food is both overpriced and mediocre, much like their predecessor (#2). Things I appreciated: * Interior: I am fairly confident that one could show up with 20 people from a football game across the street and find a seat. There's enough seating in here to house an army and they've done a good job with the ambiance to keep the appearance of a faux-premium vibe. * Service: While they were generally slow on a few things, most of the staff members I've encountered were super pleasant and very transparent about what / what not to order. I appreciated this immensely. * Yakitori: No exaggeration, this is one of the better AYCE yakitori experiences I've had. The chicken and beef yakitori combos (#3) had great presentation, were juicy, and full of flavor. This was the only item where I wanted multiple orders. Things that are not great: * The price: This. My first time coming here it was $31 (Or ... $30.99), but the last time was $50. With that kind of a steep hike, you'd think they'd offer uni, toro, and some kind of premium yakitori, but too hard to justify considering their lineup of food and drink. * The name: Previously, it was simply "Taro Japanese Restaurant." As of earlier this year, it has become "Taro VIP BBQ SEAFOOD HOTPOT & BAR." * The drinks: I'm stoked they have an alcohol license and can serve wine, beer, and cocktails. But the cocktails are on another level bad. The Mexican Mule ($14.50) was too tinge too sour, the Taro Red ($14.50), Blue Hawaii ($13.50) and Tokyo Rose ($13.50) are way too sweet. Even the powdered milk teas and fruit teas felt very generic. * The sushi: I can handle low quality sushi, but there was some level of funk for almost all the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail that I ordered. It was masked a bit better in the rolls, but at some point, I couldn't order anymore. * The ramen: While I think offering any kind of ramen is a plus in the AYCE scenario, the ramen here is understandably mid. All of the tonkotsu choices are the best bet, but this is a hard pass for even folks that love noodle soup. * The spelling: While I'm typically forgiving of most menu mishaps, the fact one is being charged $50 and they can't seem to spell shoyu, fried, tartare, etc. correctly is kind of mind blowing. * Most of their baked sushi items: This includes their tataki, baby octopus, mussels, ankimo, and tartare. This is likely due to the seafood quality issue that I had alluded to earlier. * The crawfish: Skip. Don't bother ordering, even if it's peak crawifsh season since it tastes like something more from a Chinese buffet than anything resembling the kinds of crawdads from Louisiana. For a place that boasts being run by culinary graduates trained under a famous Japanese chef (#5), it's incredibly disappointing to such such variety paired with such flawed execution. One could argue Taro is more style than substance, but I hope they find a way to correct their course. ____________ (#1) All you can eat Japanese restaurant where everyone speaks Mandarin.
