Hey hey hey Y'all! Let me tell you about this scrumptious food truck that I stumbled upon in The Heights called Marcos Spice. I was craving Indian curry and this Marcos Spice place came up, and I was like Marcos is a Mexican name, but the pictures and the reviews on Yelp kept raving about this butter chicken. Sooo... I went. I almost never do food trucks but I stepped out of my comfort zone and boy am I soo happy I did! The owner, Lee, is amazing!!!! He makes everything himself, and his sauces are from scratch. He showed me his spices, so I know he is the real deal Holyfield! I mean them spices looked like you might slap ya mammy! And that butter chicken sauce was soooo scrumdiddlyumptious!!!! I will go wherever he is to have more. Lee and his awesome sauces are at R Bar, Little Woodrow's on White Oak, and Tikila's various nights. I think like 6-midnight. If I remember correctly. Anyway! Find him. Use a flashlight! Whatever you have to do. Get there! And get some grub! You won't be mad AT ALL! read more

On point! Got the beef kabobs, nicely seasoned, garlic naan was nice soft and buttery!

Terrific! I was blessed to have his hot, scrumptious & quick lunch at a church conference on a wintry day! He was friendly, very kind and generous! The excellent Beef kabob was moist with great seasoning! The accompanying veggies were great! Garlic Naan was terrific as well as the biriyani rice! The Mango lassi was great! Fries came with special seasoning. A must try! read more

This is a food truck you would absolutely be remiss not to try if you love Indian food. The guy running the show is really friendly and it's obvious that he cares a lot about the food he's serving. The butter chicken has super complex flavors going on with a lot of spices, but they're well balanced and I think it's a perfectly executed dish. As someone who's way too into spicy food , it isn't wild but it definitely hits the spot if you order it spicy (you can also just get mild if that's not your jam though). The beef kebab is also tasty as hell, and the naan is really nice and pillowy inside with a perfect crisp on the outside. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because I can't submit an order and pay online. You gotta update your app/square site, man! read more

The food was delicious and cooked to perfection! Service at the food truck was excellent and Lee, the chef was very courteous and displayed excellent customer service skills! The butter chicken was cooked to perfection! Enjoy your meal! read more

Here to say, Marcos Spice is amazing! Excellent hospitality and delicious food! I had the butter chicken (as suggested by an earlier post), and it's absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed the garlic naan, but realized I really wanted the rice too. Both had perfect texture and flavor! He is at R bar every Thursday. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! Don't sleep on this food truck! Best late night food I've had in a long time! He is at Tikila's, Bobcat Teddy's, Woodrow's on White Oak, & Shiloh's as well. Follow on socials for all the info! read more

The chicken biryani was legit. So flavorful. Tasted like someone's mom or grandma made it. The nan was also really good. Perfect texture. Great service too read more

The food is exceptional!! My guitar player and I indulged in a few different items during one of our breaks...and we were not disappointed! The Chicken Tikka & The Butter Chicken are no short of WOW!! Got a take home order for my husband and he loves it too. The customer service was outstanding. The owner is passionate and knowledgeable. I wish everyone cared about what they do, and the people they do it for like this. We will definitely be back!!! read more

3 separate couples in our group ordered food and we were all super disappointed - first, there are no prices on the menu - there's a reason - it's SUPER expensive for for what you get; $20 for a few tiny street tacos (and the tiny bit of beef in them was incredibly dry), and then $22 for the chicken kabobs? Also, my wife ordered the chicken tika - a kabob style glazed chicken. He gave her some chicken with veggies and we questioned it he argued with us about it - he said they were the same thing anyway - he just didn't put it on skewers! Then why have two different pictures with two different names‽ Also, it was super dry too...not glazed. Another person ordered the butter chicken that is PICTURED with rice - but it doesn't come with rice, that's extra he said. So was the naan (also in the picture). Like I said, no wonder he doesn't list his prices... This place sucks. read more

One of the best fusion trucks on the scene! Portions are plentiful and flavors are a chefs kiss. If Marcos is working just ask him to bring you a couple of things, I promise you won't regret it! read more

I absolutely love Indian cuisine, however, I am very picky. This truck is run by the greatest guy! They accidentally forgot an item and he personally ran it up to the 5th floor of my office. I can honestly say the food was beyond delicious, hot, and fresh. You could tell it was made with care and attention. Every bite had me wanting more. I am so glad they came to our office building and I look forward to them coming again. Please give them a try! Absolutely delish and price comparable to other Indian cuisine in the area. You are definitely getting what you pay for here and it's delicious! read more

Oh my god. Delicious. This food truck is a must-visit. Perfect spice levels, perfect flavor. 10/10

The food is delicious, the service is impressive. The chana masala is so flavorful and the best I've ever had. We enjoyed all the food and appreciate the service and friendliness; it is very refreshing as some food trucks make you feel like they are doing you a favor to take your order. Catch up with him if you can, you won't regret it! read more

I was playing trivia at R Bar (best trivia in Houston BTW) and discovered Marcos Spice. Everything was great. Everything, Chicken tikka. Beef Kabob. All perfect. But the best item was the chicken wings. I brought my order back to the table and everybody agreed, these might be the best wings we're ever had. One of our guys is the executive chef at a well known establishment in midtown. Not an easy guy to impress. We ordered 2 more orders and embarrassed ourselves with how quickly they were eaten. Highly recommended! read more

Great staff and delicious food! The chicken shawarma was amazing and be sure to get it with extra sauce you won't regret it

Surprise perfection! First time patron and the butter chicken is better than great. The chef is passionate and considerate. MUST TRY. RBar Thursday, Tikila Wednesday and Sunday. Friday Saturday Bobcat Teddy's. read more

This place is GOLD. randomly found out when I was out with some friends and, no lie, we ordered 8 of the 10 items on the menu. I'm VERY picky about my Indian food (I mean not many can cook better than my mom ya know) but everything on this menu was AMAZING. the flavor, the spice, the curry to meat ratio (IYKYK). The butter chicken is prob the best butter chicken I've had in Texas!! My friend tried butter chicken for the first time this day and was GLUED to this. Many of my friends were trying Indian food for the first time and all were impressed and loving ittt! I don't live in Houston but my friends that do have already been back twice since we tried it a few weeks ago. The grilled shrimp was so flavorful and large and we couldn't stop eating it. My stomach hurt so bad for the next day from stuffing myself to the brim (also Indian food). The chef is also an awesome guy just starting out on his own and the first in his family to venture out and try something like this. All in all, if you want some amazing, well cooked and flavored (spicy!) home made Indian food - this is the place!! Trust me you won't regret it! Take a tums! read more

I asked for grilled shrimp. This MF told me he's out of shrimp. I said never mind. Then he magically, said I have it, and proceeded to make me some damn near, expired shrimp . And charge me $16 F this guy. read more
