    Pork Belly Bao, Smoked Brisket Tacos & Cotija Fries
    Jason L.

    Smoked brisket with kimchi and cotija cheese is the mashup I didn't know I needed. Punk's made me a believer. Good people, good eats. Reward your chew hole.

    We had a group of 7 big dudes, and we were on a road trip from Dallas to Houston with an intent to stop at Corkscrew BBQ. Well, the insane line and the lack of parking made us "hot route". One of the guys found Punk's Taco & Bao. I was skeptical as it was in an unassuming strip mall and how can someone make Mexican and Asian food in 1 spot. Well apparently, I don't know shit because this place was amazing! The guy working ( i believe he owned the place) was by himself and he handled all of our orders like a champ. I got a brisket taco, a lamb Al Pastor taco and some fries. The fries were thin, crisp and had that perfectly puffy center. The Al Pastor lamb taco was unreal good, and the brisket taco was great too. I stole a piece of fried chicken off my buddy's taco when he wasn't looking, and this was way better than it had any business being. Punk's has a lot of fun artwork and they know what they are doing in the kitchen. They have a large menu of very interesting taco and bao options. If I lived closer, I'd be in here at least once a week.

    This is a tiny restaurant in a strip mall, but fun ambience, and super clean. The service at the counter was the owner's daughter,and she was super sweet, and asked for feedback on everything. Everything was delicious. Next time I would get a bao and a taco, as the baos are pretty tiny. I hope that people in the area support this business, and that it is successful here in Spring.

    Waited for the doors to open of this new addition to Spring eats. The concept is intriguing...baos and tacos? Decor is clean and features some punk decor as the name indicates but it's the food and service that earned this five star rating. We were warmly greeted when we entered the establishment and staff was eager to please. Spice level is fairly high but adjustments can be made. The chef owner himself brought us our food and chatted with us. I had the shrimp bao which featured a plump shrimp and a firecracker kick, a smoked brisket bao that featured tender meat and a Korean bugolgi bao that was especially flavorful. When asked for my favorite, I couldn't decide. I would have all three again. The tacos were equally pleasing and the chalupa chicken was a rockstar. Thanks for opening so close. This is gonna be a regular!

    Great new spot in spring just east of 45! Family owned andthe food is outstanding! The ambiance is nice and very clear. Fun artwork throughout the building. We had a couple Bao's and a couple tacos. The price is good and the potions are nice. Great flavors in the each. Offering Looking forward to going back

    Cholula Fried Chicken Taco, Smoked Brisket Taco, and Harissa Chicken Fajita Taco. All three were amazing

    Ordered a variety of the baos and tacos for pick up. All were very delicious and definitely recommend sampling the menu.

    I visited here during happy hour one day. I'd previously visited one of their other locations…read moreseveral years ago since I heard they had really great cheese enchiladas. On this visit I just wanted a drink and a small bite though. Upon walking in, the restaurant was nearly full and bustling. I spotted some seats over at the bar area in the back right so I sat there. There are happy hour specials ending at 6pm weekdays but the bartender told me about the daily specials and how the Natalitas margarita was stronger than the happy hour one for about the same price, so I chose that one. I ordered the large for $10.25 which comes in an 18 oz large glass. After looking at the menu, I settled on one of my typical orders at happy hour, the small (8 in) beef fajita quesadilla. This comes out after about 10 mins and it has the typical sour cream and guacamole on the sides. There is plenty there to be placed on all 8 of the quesadillas. This is a pretty standard tasting quesadilla, nothing really stood out about it. Same goes for the margarita. Keep in mind this is a discounted drink and made with pre-mixed sweet and sour from a large plastic bucket at the back of the bar area using a house tequila and a house orange liquor. I couldn't read the labels on either bottle since they turned them backward during my entire visit. Not sure if they do this on purpose or not. Either way, there are better quality margarita options obviously, using fresh juice they store in their refrigerator and a margarita that is actually shaken. The discounted ones are so discounted, they actually just pour the ingredients into an ice filled glass and ask you to stir it yourself when they place it in front of you. Either way, it is a convenient location and the prices of their entrees are reasonable compared to some other Mexican restaurants around town. I don't think I saw any dish above 18.99. Mondays look to be a good day to come for their Patron margarita special for around $10.99.

The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.
