Floutas

5 star taquitos!! Super crispy and delicious! The chicken is so yummy. Third time here now. The texas taco is also bomb (1 is definitely enough) 4 stars not for the business itself, but there's quite a few shady people hanging around the side street, drinking, littering.. I wouldn't want to be alone at night around them. So heads up.

As I was in the galleria district, I decided to try some birria tacos from Taco Fuego. I'd suggest having a little patience when ordering from any of the food trucks. In my opinion Taco Fuego is definitely worth the wait. I'm a native of California, I've tried birria tacos in every state I visited. These are the ABSOLUTE BEST birria tacos I've had. Yes the best! The birria taco is a special taco, the meat to cheese ratio is very important. Taco Fuego has mastered the birria taco! The meat was seasoned well, every bite was meet with nice gooey cheese! The consistency of the consommé was perfect. Not too liquidity, very rich in flavor. Every dip made me regret my decision to buy modest. I thought drinking the consommé would be too much. I got as many dips as I could! If you're visiting or a native to Houston. Give Taco Fuego a shot!

Flautas

Finally decided to try this place out after hearing about it from multiple people. The wait was not too bad, it was roughly 30 minutes, but considering the amount of people that were there I was fine with it. We got the quesabirria de res, the empanadas, the flautas, and the Mexican street corn. Everything was good, but the flautas were absolutely amazing! The quesabirria de res wasn't my favorite, but that was just a personal taste preference. The service was also really good too. I had ordered the churros, but got home to see that they didn't include it with my food despite being charged for it. I reached out to the establishment and they were able to refund me for the missing items. I'll definitely be back here again!

Had the opportunity to try Taco Fuego a few times and this location is definitely the one you want to come to. Each time I've gone, I've always gotten the taco birria and it's never been a disappointment. The meat is extremely tender and the dipping sauce- oh my damn! So freaking good! Now, be warned, this is not a dish you eat in your car, especially a car you just had washed. Due to the fact that it's so juicy, there may be spillage. Word to the wise- eat it at home or eat outside your car. I recently tried their loaded fries, quesadilla and churros. All three were also perfect. However, if I had to only choose one item, it would be the quesadilla. Their birria tacos and quesadilla are my go to items. The food is incredible at both locations but the customer service at THIS location is what sets the bar. Luis always greats me with a smile and Melvis (or is it Melvin?) treats me like we're family. Some places have great food but when customer service sucks, it's just a total turn off. I am happy that's not the case here.

Quesabirria
Nick R.

2nd time here. First time after waiting in line for 10 minutes, we told birria would not be available for a minimum of 30 minutes. This time, long wait, two guys working very hard, so they are understaffed. When we got the food, the experience was underwhelming. The quesabirria was okay but the meat wasn't as saturated as I expected. And the dipping consomme? I've made birria de res before. This consomme was very different . It was overly acidic (heavy on the citrus) and no real meat taste. The corn was good but the toppings weren't substantial enough to coat the rest of the elote when mixed.

So many delicious drunken food memories here. If you want to Taco about how much cheaper booze and the food here is than therapy than we can taco about it. I love the brisket tortas here. And the tacos are always fresh and hot and flavorful. It's a great place to grab a late night bite.

I have been wanting to try birria tacos. Saw this truck that sells them and decided to give them a try. I ordered the birria tacos with consume, the chicken empanadas and the chicken flautas. Honestly I didn't care for the birria tacos. The beef had a great flavor but the texture I could not get with. The meat was too mushy for me. But the flautas were so good and fried to perfection. It came with crema, cilantro and pickled onions. Oh my goodness so good. The chicken empanadas were delicious as well. It came with a green sauce that added extra flavor. I do want to go back for the flautas and maybe try the burrito next time. I just know that birria tacos is not something I would get.

My order, with notes.

UPDATE- 3/16/22. I have posted my reviews, emailed & sent my photos on FB messenger. Instead of addressing one single concern, they have blocked me LOL. If you don't want a business straight up stealing from you- go see THE BIRRIA QUEEN OR BEIRUT STREET FOOD INSTEAD. Trust me! This location consistently gets my order wrong. I tried to support because it's good but this has become ridiculous. Today was the last straw. I ordered via DoorDash. Because of previous mistakes, I put a note on EVERY item about what it was missing in previous orders. Well guess what, every single item was wrong again. At this point they have to be trolling me. I could not have been any clearer about what was missing. I literally broke down my order very simply. See the photos. Try Taco Fuego, but keep it moving from this location. They're clearly incompetent & will take your money, without caring to fulfill your order.

This was my first taste of barria tacos so keep that in mind but I really enjoyed these. The tacos were cheesy and filled with huge chunks of beef. The sauce that the tacos are dipped in was good but didn't have nearly the amount of flavor as the tacos. It was also very loose and didn't really coat the tacos as much as I would have liked. I ended up ditching it all together and just enjoyed the tacos on their own. I also had their street corn and this was delicious! Plump kernels topped with lots of quality cotija and a perfect finish of lime. No matter what I get next time Elote is going to be in the line up. All in all I liked this place. The food was yummy and the service was nice and fairly quick. Worth a try!

Quesabirria Tacos

Okay so the food was so good I had to go back. We ordered the quesadillas, Quesabirria tacos, & the fries... The order of fries is huge and they are my favorite

This truck on El Verde is their newest location! It's in the Galleria Food Truck Park. I'll admit that I saw this food truck on Tik Tok, but I've been seeing birria tacos all over social media and been dying to try. Customer service was amazing, the guy is super nice! Unfortunately since this is their new location, they didn't have agua Frescas yet but we got both quesabirrias - beef and chicken. Each entree came with two quesabirrias and more than enough consomé. They're known for their beef, but I honestly liked the chicken more. Only downside is I didn't have more tacos for my leftover consomé!

Okay okay in all fairness i only tried one thing but that one thing was really good. I tried the empanadas and they were really good. I wanted the churros but they were out but this was good. The staff were nice and my order was quick. I would try it again

Hard Plastic

My 2nd time at the westheimer truck && the food was great until I ate the leftovers.. I initially thought it was a bone left in the birria, but it a a piece of plastic sharp enough to be glass... smh

El Taconazo - Barbacoa Especial

El Taconazo

4.5(385 reviews)
7.6 mi•Northside Village

CASH ONLY!! Best…read moreTacos in Houston. Taconazo is the pride and staple of Northside. Always a long line but it so worth it. Barbacoa and pastor is easily the best I've ever had. 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.

I'm from Katy; this east part of Houston is very new to me. I don't know where to go for food here, but I for sure now know where to go for Trompo Tacos! The trompo here was bomb! I was in the city for a wine fest and needed tacos to tame my hunger from all the wine sipping. Tacos Las Sultana popped up, and the pictures of the trompo looked insane. After going, I can confirm the trompo looked even better than the pictures. Shout out to the chef cutting up fresh trompo I ordered some tacos de trompo to go, with avocado. The order of tacos came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. I have never had roasted potatoes with my tacos; they were tasty and very buttery. Dude, the way they packaged their tacos... never have I seen tacos from a taco truck packaged so nicely. They wrap everything and even package their salsa. Very clean, very organized This place is over an hour away from me. After eating here I will gladly make the hour drive for this bomb trompo They have a parking lot and street parking available. They have limited seating available inside. They take cash and Venmo payment
