We came to Houston today without even knowing where we were going for dinner. Then we stumbled upon Little Taco Shop at the corner of Kirby Dr. and Richmond Blvd. Boy, we were NOT ready for this place! These tacos were HOT! Not just temperature hot, but FULL of flavor. And those caramelized onions on top? They deserve their own review. Seriously, next-level good. The food was amazing, the service was super fast, and we dug in like a bunch of crazy people. This place has an aura, as the kids say these days. It has that special vibe you can't manufacture. A true mom-and-pop spot with the attitude, confidence, and quality of a big-time restaurant. I love finding places like this, where the food speaks for itself and the experience makes you want to come back before you've even left. Little Taco Shop, you've got yourself a new fan. Definitely coming back on my next trip to Houston! read more

Had a great late-night experience at Little Taco Shop! I came in around 10 PM, and the shop was incredibly clean and the customer service was fantastic. I ordered the shrimp and carne asada quesadilla, which came out fresh and piping hot. Paired it with a crisp, refreshing Mexican Coke. It came with some pickled peppers on the side--they weren't really my vibe, but I'm glad I got to try them! Plus, they have a huge parking lot, making it super easy to park. I'll definitely be back when those late-night taco cravings hit. read more

I came here on a solo Saturday night looking for dinner and decided to try a new place! I recently moved to the area but I've always driven by this place previously. When I went, it was empty at 8PM with just 2 girls sitting inside waiting for customers to come in. I ordered 3 tacos for myself and chips and queso. They came out with the chips and queso at the same time as the tacos and it was within 10 minutes of me ordering! Super quick. They also gave me 2 bottles of hot sauce, which I loved both because they're just as flavorful as spicy. The tacos were definitely filling and stuffed with meat. I really enjoyed them and would definitely come back. I ordered 4 tacos to-go for my husband to have, 1 al pastor, 1 shrimp pastor, 1 carne asada and 1 chicken fajita. They have a bunch of different drinks which I'll try next time I'm in because they looked good! Price is good as well. I'd save average for what you get. read more

The flavor here is solid, but the excessive grease really missed the mark. The tortilla felt like it was dipped in a heavy oil concoction that could really drive up your cholesterol. It would be a much better taco if you started with a dry tortilla, used just a light butter or oil spray, and seared it on both sides until it's crisp before adding the ingredients. ​On the plus side, the ambience is great. The place is very clean, and I loved the selection of homemade drinks in the refrigerator along the right wall. If they fix the greasy tortillas, this would be a top-tier spot. I ordered a pickup order so I didn't really experience the service. read more

Fascinating that I have never noticed this place! A taco shop that is open until midnight! Very very clutch. Now I didn't come here at midnight but it was 930pm and most places were closed but through my yelp search I found this place open! Anyway, they have a very large selection of food items to choose from on the menu! The place is small and cute with a full bar plus non alcoholic beverages in the cooler. They even have jarritos if thats your jam! Because it was late I ordered a salad with shrimp Al pastor. I'll try the tacos next time! Um the salad was excellent! So so good. They chopped up the shrimp and laid it across a bed of not iceberg but romaine lettuce and spinach! Come on high quality salad! Also they topped it with tortilla strips. That salad hit the spot and I will be back to try their tacos! read more

It's so good! For me it's hard to find good authentic tortillas in Houston and these are legit. Remind me of my fave places in my hometown of San Antonio. The food came out fast and fresh.

This is my fourth time here - a mix of to go and dine in. The place is small but mighty and has the best homemade flour tortillas I have ever eaten. I stick to barbacoa and for breakfast potatoes and egg and food is consistently made to order hot and fresh and worth what they charge for it. read more

I came for a quick lunch and left full and happy. Delicious chipotle shrimp quesadilla with the perfect amount of heat. They make their flour tortillas from scratch! Kind and quick service, nice decor and very clean. A must try Little Taco Shop. read more

Little Taco Shop - Chipotle Shrimp Quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

This small taco spot holds a special place in my heart. Just across the street from several office buildings, it was so easy to come here after work for a quick quesadilla or sandwich. Good, tasty portions for good prices and quick service, what more could you ask for? They also offer mezcal, tres leches and other desserts :) read more

Little Taco Shop - Burrito (Protein Choice) - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food is good, but the customer service is absolutely horrible. I only continue to order from this restaurant because my job frequently places orders here. However, every single time we order, there seems to be an issue with the same lady at the front taking our orders. At this point, the repeated problems have become frustrating, and I honestly feel that I am being treated differently. The way she interacts with us comes across as disrespectful and makes me question whether prejudice is playing a role. It's unfortunate because the food is good, but the customer service makes me not want to return. Management really needs to address this issue and provide better customer service to everyone, regardless of who they are. read more

We ordered one carne asada burrito, one burrito without protein, chips, salsa, and tres leches. Our meal was amazing. The burritos were, hands-down, the best ones we have had in Houston, the chips were absolutely amazing, and the tres leches was so good. We particularly appreciated the burrito's tortillas and how well-balanced/flavorful the fillings were. The chips were also insanely crips and scrumptious. We'll definitely be back! read more

It may be tacos now instead of burgers, but it's the same ownership and the same disappointing quality. Not much has changed.

Perfect homemade tacos! Loved the salsa! Cute atmosphere, & fast service. I love coming here for lunch In-N-Out just like I like it! read more

Stopped in here before going to a show and did not expect a lot but were very surprised. Right away you can tell the tortillas (we had flour) are homemade and had an almost perfect consistency and flavor. We tried four different meats I think we had pastor, green chili pork, barbacoa, and one other. They were all excellent. I normally don't get green chili anything but it sounded good and this was a really flavorful taco that surprised me. The barbacoa was the best I have had in a while. Oddly, some people I read said some of their tacos were too greasy, but this barbacoa didnt have a drop of grease.. which is weird for barbacoa and I would normally say that was bad but I haven't had any barbacoa that melted in your mouth like this in a while (grease or no grease). We both agreed finally minced onions and cilantro are much better than the large chunks some places give you. Also the ratio of meat to onions was good some places it's like 50/50 and that's too much onion, not here it was just right. Also on the side were some COOKED onions like a little bonus you didn't expect (if you read this I guess you won't be surprised though, sorry). They were delicious on the tacos and just eaten with chips. My partner said her tacos were excellent too and we have both been thinking about them and already planning to return soon even though it's not in our part of town. We will try the corn tortillas next time since we now know they are homemade, it's kind of dicey to try corn at a new place sometimes they are not great! Prices at Little Taco Shop were great for the quality about $5 a taco and we got a small guac and chips it was a little under $30 total. read more

Some of the best breakfast tacos I've had in Houston. Agree with one of the reviews that they are greasy, but they're delicious. I could be wrong, but the tortillas and fillings seem to be hand-made to order rather than mass produced. read more

This place has been on my bookmarks for a while and we almost didn't go this night but WHOA I'm glad we did. My heart is broken that the days days of amazing authentic tacos for $2 are over, and so many places I've been trying lately aren't the bomb-@$$ tacos I remember growing up that we're ubiquitous to Houston, but these absolutely hit that spot! My only regret was not getting a third. First off, the TORTILLAS. I ordered one flour, one corn, and they messed up and put both flour and I've never been so happy about a mistake. The flour tortillas were absolutely incredible, so fresh, and had that texture that hits all those juxtaposed pleasure spots in your brain. Soft, almost doughy, but still chewy, and it held up well. Those descriptions don't even sound great but ung, it just is. Okay, maybe I should touch on the other food. The traditional pastor was my favorite, and it was so good I didn't eat it with salsa (VERY unlike me). The carne asada was very tasty as was the barbacoa, but the baracho beans were just alright because they were way too peppery. The red salsa was also strangely peppery but the green salsa was stellar. The guac and chips were also incredibly fresh. read more

I ordered a chicken fajita taco and a beef barbacoa breakfast taco for takeout. The service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant itself is adorable -- bright, cozy, and has that "hole-in-the-wall" charm I really like. That said, the food felt a bit underwhelming for the price. The tacos were very basic and on the smaller side, especially at $4.50 each. The breakfast beef barbacoa taco was mostly egg with very little beef, and the chicken fajita taco was decent with onion and cilantro, but neither came with salsa or much filling. I think adding a little more filling or including salsas on the side would make the tacos feel more worth the price and bring out more flavor. Overall, it was fine, but for the price, I'd probably try a food truck next time for authentic tacos. read more

Food fresh hand made Flour tortillas... coffee just as Fresh!!! Salsas on Point!!! Got one chorizo egg and beans and one bacon egg and beans... felt homemade... definitely coming back!!! read more

Little Taco Shop - Breakfast Combo - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

We went for breakfast and had a couple chorizo and eggs and barbacoa and eggs tacos. The eggs dominated the protein and it was dripping grease. But they tasted ok. We also got a tres leches. They overcharged us $8 instead of $5.99 as printed on their menu. When I showed them this we just got the shoulder shrug and told the menu needs to be updated. Good restaurants either refund the difference to correct the error o if they're a really good restaurant they'd apologize profusely and comp you for the entire dish. I got neither. And I actually think it's unfair because I wouldn't pay $8 for a piece of cake preboxed and sitting in the soda fridge. It definitely didn't taste that good. read more

I shared a chicken tostada, which was really good, plenty of queso, needed more chicken. The carne asada torta was excellent! I never had a torta before. The meat was flavorful, the bread was soft, A 10/10. The fried pork skin with guacamole was also good. I recommend this place for lunch, after the club, or a weekend treat! read more

We stopped here for dinner. The service was pretty quick and pleasant. I ordered the breakfast tacos with just eggs for the kids and it was a hit. I went with the nachos and a side of queso. The nachos were a pretty decent size, I was unable to finish it. The queso had a nice little kick to it, which I enjoyed. I would definitely come back and ordered the burrito as recommended. read more

Unfortunately, I have to rescind my previous positive review. I decided to give this spot another go and it majorly disappointed. The tortilla was super greasy to the point of sogginess. The burrito was rolled so loosely that it fell apart almost immediately. Finally, they screwed up my order -- I asked for tator tots (which shows up on the receipt) but they made it with rice. Bummed since I thought I found my go-to burrito joint but it looks like the search continues. read more

Great tacos! I love the asada and chicken for simple tacos. They always have service with a smile! Clean shop and good atmosphere.

food was good but the cashier was nonchalant, did not add my sour cream and did not give my son his drink. we had to come and ask for it right before we left. and she added like she did not know what I meant. read more

Cute spot. Plenty of tequila. The carne asada nachos really greasy and meats were dry. The tacos were decent but the pork belly was a bit bland. The best taco was the mushroom. It was flavorful and juicy. My biggest complaint is nobody was there and it took a very long time to get the food. read more

I came across this little taco shop one late night. I went inside to order to go. As I waited for my order of al pastor tacos, the bartender/server created a cucumber margarita. The margarita was refreshing and perfectly balanced!! The Tajín around the rim was her special touch, and it was delicious. The tacos were semi flavorful. I've had better authentic tacos. The meat was tender and satisfying but lacked that amazing flavor, great tacos possess. read more

Definitely recommend!! We just discovered this place near us and we love all the breakfast tacos Try it out!

I want this place to make it. But to be honest, they need to step it up. The food was exactly just less than average. For the price I would say..still less than average. We had 4 tacos that were not bad but not great. We also had the crispy tats which were very good. I would like people to check out Little Taco Shop. But this is your test. Hey it right. read more

I will be back as much as I can! This now my spot! I got the burrito, carne Asada tacos, Al Pastor Tacos. I prefer the thick chips, but it did the job. read more

Open late and the tacos were legit! The barbacoa was nice and crispy and love the homemade flour tortillas

Overall, Montrose and Upper Kirby have been blessed over the past year with an abundance of new taco shops, along with excellent Mexican and Tex-Mex options. As someone who truly enjoys this type of food, I've concluded that The Little Taco Shop is one of my top favorites for tacos and burritos. Their food simply makes me happy -- you can tell it's made authentically and without pretense. It's consistently delicious and always satisfying. read more

Ight so boom, check it: this was a day or two after Hurricane Beryl came through town. It was late, I was hungry, and I didn't have anything at the crib that I felt like eating. So I drove around for a little bit. Most places were super crowded, and another spot I tried to go to was mad expensive. So I was about to go somewhere else, and this place popped up! I had never seen it there before (has to be new right?), but Google Maps said it was open, and I didn't see anyone else in there, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I walked in, and the lady that took my order was super nice. I ordered a carne asada burrito, which came with rice, beans, tater tots (I was thrown off by this, but very intrigued at the same time), avocado, and I asked for sour cream. For my drink, I got a Mexican Coke because they are elite! It took about 10ish minutes to get my order, but it was all done fresh. I got home and ate it, and it tasted great! All the flavors worked well together, and the salsas they provided me gave it that extra kick. I'm so glad I found this place open late, and I definitely will go back soon! This definitely gets the dB stamp of approval, it is certified! read more

Everything is so bland. From the shrimp to the chicken and even the salsa, I wish they put salt packets because i even tried putting lemon and it didn't help so I just threw it away. Only the good was how fast our food was ready and the service was nice and made me feel comfortable since it was my first time trying the Little Taco Shop. read more

Little Taco Shop is truly that, but packs such a huge punch! I stopped by around 6 pm on a Thursday for a quick burrito, but ended up experiencing happy hour! LTS now offers house made margaritas that are canned and available during happy hour for $6 a piece. I highly recommend the street styled tacos, burritos with carne asada or their salsa. It is the most unique and authentic salsa I have ever tried. I think I have found my new mid week pick me up! Staff is so nice and friendly and patient.

Perfect spot for a quick bite. They are open from 8AM-12AM so they get a star. The food leaned more on the American side vs authentic Mexican. I don't believe they are marketed as authentic but just something to keep in mind. I would return if it was late night and my other favorite taco spots were closed. read more
