Birria Ramen, Consume, and Birria Burrito
Armand V.

Santa Maria Madre de Dios! In other words, HOLY MOLY! No wonder this place is called Taco Fuego, the food is literally hot like fire, but is it delicious? Lets find out! We pulled up into the location parked by the famous food truck park by the Galleria. This was late on a Friday, so there were tons of people in the area. One of the neat features about this truck, is that its open late (at least over the weekend). So you have the privilege to burn your tongue after 3am on a Friday. They have a neat menu with tons of options. Burritos, tamales, mini tacos, ramen, burgers, empanadas, goodness...this little truck makes its all. We were in a Birria mood, so decided to get the Birria Burrito, Birria Ramen, and a side of Consome to dip the burrito. All this came up to about 32 bucks, so this spot IS NOT CHEAP. Very pricey, guess you are paying Galleria prices. The service was descent, not stellar, but descent. Speed was the main thing that stood out to us. In about 5 minutes we had our food (most of the other trucks parked here, take about 10 to 15 minutes to get your food ready), so Taco Fuego gets props for the speed. Portion sizes were good as well, the burrito was big, and we also got a good helping of ramen and consume. Now lets get to the pain and suffering. This food was INCREDIBLY SPICY. I get that Fuego is in the name, but we didn't realize that the taste would be unsufferable. We can handle minimum spicey, but this level of spicey wasn't even enjoyable, it was pure atomic pain. It would have been helpful to know that all the food is made to taste like hot fire beforehand, maybe we would have asked to limit some of that. Due to this reason, we really didn't get to enjoy the food at all. You look at the food, and its burnt red. Birria isn't meant to taste like the atom bomb, so this was a huge bummer. Would not come back, but if you're a fan of burning your tongue, to wake yourself up after a long night out, Taco Fuego is for you.

Some of the best Birria tacos I've ever had. Even the cheese quesadilla I got for my daughter was amazing. Picked it up as a quick snack but so happy that they are open until 3 AM because I plan on coming back tonight while I'm still in town.

Beef Quesadilla

The food is very underwhelming for the price. $13 for two flat quesadillas and little to nothing else except some sauce is kinda crazy.

Birria Tacos

I had been wanting to try birria tacos for a while and decided to give Taco Fuego a chance. I got the birria tacos, the fries, and the elote. The birria tacos were really flavorful, and they provided lots of consome for dipping. It was a bit messy to eat so have lots of napkins ready. The fries were also delicious and a great portion size (better value wise than the tacos). I would not recommend the elote at all; it tasted like canned corn with an old topping on it and was quite unpleasant. Taco Fuego is a food truck, so there's no place to sit. The food did take a while to come out and they forgot part of my order, but it was fixed quickly.

When i tell yall this is the best birria spot in houston i need yall to believe me.. this is my go to spot they never disappoint.

All ima say is don't order the birria tacos if u don't expect the pay for the sauce that is suppose to come to the tacos. $2.15 to be exact, food good but getting over on people for the small things, I will NEVER go back. And the birria is as soggy asf

Get the drinks, they are worth it!
Maria Aimen J.

I've been seeing the hype around this place on Instagram, and started following them on Instagram and have been determined to go ever since. The line is quite long, and it takes a while for the food to come out, because it is a taco truck and they make the food fresh order. These would be my only gripes come because the food is absolutely delicious. We got the tacos with the beef and the chicken... I prefer the beef ones, the dip just takes it over the top. My man loves to have loaded fries, so we got those and it was a generous portion, the whole white size takeout container size. I was not planning on getting drinks, but the limeade, the pomegranate and watermelon drink are absolutely delicious, and a compliment the flavours of the tacos very well. Definitely get those!! I am happy that the tacos were not super spicy because my spice tolerance is quite low, but again the dip has a great flavour to it, and We were able to enjoy our tacos in the car. They were put of a couple of the things I wanted, like the flautas, even though we were there early in the evening, but that just shows how they are popular and run out fast. Make sure that you ask for silverware and napkins, because they won't automatically give it to you, and I like to eat loaded fries with a fork so they were a necessity. Overall I would go here again but just be sure that you have enough time since the lines are long, as is the wait time, but it is worth it.

Texan Taco,  El Gaucho Taco, and Fuego quesadillas.  MUY BUENO!!
Victor H.

(From November 2020) I found them on my Instagram feed so of course it became a Taco Tuesday deal as I ventured to their truck. Do not be afraid of the poorly paved parking area and tight squeeze; this truck is straight up Dope! Went with the Texas taco, El Fuego taco, and the quesadillas. All were delicious and filing. You might be taken aback by the price but these items are large and will fill you up with goodness. Next time I have to do the birria quesitaco, ramen, and empanadas. Not sure why I didn't order them the first time since they were featured on the IG Post. Oh well. Definitely next time!

Returned last night and was not disappointed! The quesaBirria at $3.25 a piece is flavor bomb. I'm not sure with the tub of sauce adds much more to the flavor.

Soggy and not crispy. Super red not your typical Quesabirria tacos.
Jacob R.

Very disappointed with this place. I have had Queso birria tacos in many places and the reviews for this place were off the charts. Tacos where soggy and super red.

Baja Shrimp, Cheese-Crusted Burrito beef Quesabirria Taco
Antonette T.

Great food, made to order so expect to wait a bit, Overall good service and reasonably priced.

Taco!
Azam K.

This place is dang good! Tacos: The brisket is flavorful... not as much as it is at killens or pinkertons but still fire! As you can see in the photos, it is a ton of meat in each taco. Tacos did not disappoint at all and were the highlight!! Tostones: whewww amazing wow. Have made tostones myself and its a hell of a lot of work. They did a great job and its crispy with brisket on and a ton of flavor. Only downsides were that i felt the quesadilla had a bit too much cheese compared to chicken in it and that the service did take longer than I'm used to at a food truck. Overall though its a great taco spot and ill be back for more whenever I'm in TX

The Quesabirria tacos were delicious! So so good! I was a little thrown off that you have to buy the consome separately, most places include this with the tacos. I paid $15 for 2 tacos, consome, and 2 empanadas. Parking at this food truck park isn't great so you have to get lucky to find a spot during peak times.

6 tacos & no consome. I ordered 8 tacos & 2 consome.

Definitely a taste of home outside of San Diego and Tijuana. Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well. Service was fast and friendly. Tacos and burritos were hefty and full of flavor. Ample parking. So glad that my family from San Diego (who I know get real Mexican taco shop cravings) can get a taste of home right in their Houston backyard!

Limited indoor seating, and since it gets busy we usually order to go. When I did dine in it was nice experience, feels authentic like eating a local spot in Mexico. You have the Mexican cokes available, the style of tacos has a big scoop of guac which makes them a bit unique compared to other spots that charge extra for guac. Their tacos are big too! Not the mini small taco tortillas you get in a food truck. These are big tacos so getting 2 is enough for me. I've tried their Asado tacos and their quesadillas and their quesabirrias all 10/10.

I think I ordered mozzarella sticks, but really only drinks. I was discriminated against by the general manager whoever the manager is there, I'm a black female. I was alone. I was by myself. This manager picked up the phone to call the cops on me because of his mistake. I ordered two drinks instead of three and I disputed that and he ended up telling me to get out of his restaurant and he picked up the phone to call the police keep in mind. I'm a single female I'm by myself I don't know anything about Texas nothing and I'm talking to a real human but it was very inhumane. I will put the address down. I think they only have two locations. I will put the address down here. I will also get on my TikTok and my Facebook where I have a large following and I will tell everyone I know about this place. It's tucked off in Houston Texas somewhere I'm here for work. I decide to go to a friendly bar, which I thought it was I went there and dined there I paid for my food I tipped and then on my way home. I was like that was a cool place. Let me go back so I went back to order the same drink that I ordered, but then insert the manager his name is Michael I think but I'm gonna put the address here and the phone number please don't patronize these people until you know that they've done right by other people. I didn't even get a chance to taste the food before they were trying to call the police on me. I'm 115 pound 5 foot black girl I was by myself and then he turned the customers against me because one customer was like, yeah get the fuck out like he said. I will continue to post this until I've heard back from this place from a general manager or somebody other than the manager of the restaurant. I will continue to post this. It's not right. It was a Hispanic male. The manager you chose to represent your brand but could not represent it. I try to support local businesses but this type of service is uncalled for. I am at a conference and let all the patrons that were about to meet me there what happened. Management please do better. I called you guys, no answer and the run around about the manager's name at this location. Very rude and called the cops!! Please save your money. It's so many restaurants around don't go here unless they change the management. I still would be sus tho. They are tucked in the back so word of mouth is really all they got. As a GM of an establishment myself, this was totally uncalled for. An $8 that I would have gladly payed for because I had just come in there hours before with no issues. I paid and tipped well and was thinking this place is nice let me go back and was in for an awful treat. I don't want anybody no matter who they are experiencing what I experienced last night on September 27th 2026 9pm on or about. I am an influencer we come to different places so we can have good food and post positive things about them, but I can't say the same for this restaurant no matter what your orientation is this place will discriminate against you. I went the night before to show my team around because the restaurant was highly recommended. 1805 W 18th St Houston, TX 77008 United States The manger on duty at 9pm Pimlico Pub HEI took unauthorized amount on my credit card.

Horchata is not too shabby either. Doesn't taste grainy. Speedy service. Reasonable price. Keep in mind the "Platos/ Plato Regular, etc." are plates of carne. Ideal for taking home.

Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.
