LOVE this place! There's other taquerias here at the Farmers Market, but this one is by far the…read morebest! ORDER THE GORDITAS and ask for avocado. We drive all the way from The Woodlands just for these gorditas. They are worth it, and the ladies who work here are always very sweet and friendly. Make sure to bring cash!!

The taqueria cart / truck scene in Houston is among the city's most ubiquitous food options, which…read moremight be why Taqueria Tacambaro is both popular and overlooked at the same time. Located primarily near the parking lot of the Houston Farmer's Market, they're a solid destination for street side Mexican without the pretension. Tacos isn't the the only barometer, but it's a way to start. Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of the shredded lettuce with tacos (#1) but the meats are almost always the star of the show. I'm pleased to see that they utilize a number of beef cuts from the Houston-centric fajita (#2), asada, and even bistec. The latter was a tad saltier than I would have liked, which was really more of a cecina (salted). I don't have high opinions on the chicken (pollo) and pork (pastor), which I find to be some of the most boring choices on the menu. What Tacambaro really excels at is the rest of the parts: tripa (tripe), lengua (tongue), chicharron (rinds), buche (belly) and mollejas (sweetbreads). The latter was the real surprise and I can see why so many locals would want to come here for it. The mollejas are crispy, delightful, and full of flavor. With their tortillas and a little kick of the salsa, I can see how along with chicharron and lengua can become a specialty place in a hurry. It's not all rosas in this cart. Sometimes they're a bit in a rush and a lot of times the cart isn't actually around during its open hours. While it's supposedly open till 3pm, I've seen it gone just after lunch time. Even when it it is open, some of those choices are sold out in addition to some of the most expensive. Tacos are not the end-all, but I do appreciate their versatility with creating tortas, gorditas, flautas, and quesadillas. It's a cash only business to my knowledge and there are ATMs in the market, as well as places to sit. I would always make the effort to patronize Tacambaro, and hope any more do. __________ (#1) Tacos dorado? Fine. Maiz taco that's barely grilled? Eh. (#2) Native Houstonian, please explain why "fajitas" are on every taco truck please. I beg of you.
