I stopped in the food hall to try a couple of the restaurants and I am glad I tried the tacos here. They were delicious. The chicken was cooked so well. It was a smaller taco but definitely worth trying.

Chicken bowl
Richard P.

The chicken bowl I got from Taco Fuego was loaded with toppings that made it very refreshing to eat. The rice could have been a bit less mushy but the flavors they had on it were spot on. The chicken was nicely charred and cut into perfect bites. This was counter service and the cashier was friendly and knowledgeable on making adjustments such as pico on the side. This was located in an old post office that turned into food hall and it was a splendid place to have lunch!

cheese covered burrito
jason j.

Ordered a $18 crunchwrap, but they gave me a $18 burrito, I said it was fine I would take it so they did not have to remake it. The burrito was not large, but not small, about 2/3 chipotle sized. In general it was a very subpar dish. The steak was dry, chewy and lacked flavor. The cheese inside was not melted and by the looks it is pre shredded low quality cheese. The rice was had hard with undercooked pieces. In general the whole thing needed flavor and sauce. If you are going to charge $18 for a medium sized burrito at least make it with good quality ingredients. This was honestly one of the worst burritos I have had in a long time. I cannot recommend eating at Taco Fuego at The Post, just pick another eatery.

Birria taco(beef)
Keyonna R.

I always get the birria beef tacos and they are always super yummy! The tacos already are super juicy and seasoned amazing, but the consome sauce on the side adds the perfect touch! I wish there was more that came with the meal, essentially you're paying $4.75 for a single taco and that doesn't include the consome sauce either. The service is average, not bad, but nothing extraordinary. Regardless this is always a stop for me when I visit the Post Market!

quesabirria beef combo
Lisa N.

After walking around the POST serval times deciding where to go, I noticed quite a lot of people waiting in line for Taco Fuego. I thought to myself, "it must be good then, right?" I ordered 1 quesabirria beef combo ($13.50). Wait time wasn't that bad (10-15 minutes). When I got the food, it was piping hot and I quickly snapped a couple pics before digging in. The cheese was still melty. Tacos wasn't overly salty and the consommé was quite good. Beef was soft and tender. Even my mom really enjoyed it! Not bad.

Came here on Saturday and ordered the Barría Tacos. My order was quick and piping hot. I looked at the pics on Yelp and was sold. I ordered 1chicken and 2 beef. It comes with cheese, cilantro and pickled red onions. Also the traditional consume'...I will definitely try them again. Enter freely, they've been approved.

Street Tacos, Fries and Street Corn
Justin T.

I brought some fam out to The Post on a weekday to check it out and then grab some lunch. We did our sight seeing and quickly worked up an appetite. We checked out the options and ordered some items from here. First off, the staff was not very welcoming or friendly. It was straight business, no pleasantries. I ordered some street tacos, fries, elotes, a crunchwrap, and a cheese crusted burrito. We waited what seemed like an eternity to get our food. The neighboring stall had our food out quick, so half my family was almost done with their meals by the time we started on this food. The street tacos and elotes were good from what I was told. The crunch wrap and my burrito were not that good. I would say it's maybe a step up from Taco Bell. They looked good on the outside, but inside everything was not hot and it was more random filling than meat. The sauces that came with it were pretty tasty and spicy. This was not a cheap meal by any means, so I was expecting alot more out of this place. Doubt I'll be back!

Chicken Street Taco, Chicken Empanada & pineapple agua fresca
Nicole L.

First time at the Post and was overwhelmed with the variety of food options here. I decided to go with some tacos and empanadas. A pineapple agua fresca on the side. The food took a little longer than expected considering the nature. The chicken didn't have much flavor but it was cooked well. I really enjoyed the empanadas and the salsa it came with. Typically the salsas are too spicy for me but it's like these were made for me. I loved them. My drink came without ice, but I'm not sure if this is typical since the soda machines are located around the establishment. Didn't bother me, I just figured i got a little more drink to fill my cup. Based on this meal I would only come back for the empanadas.

Quesabirria Taco - 2 Birra de res & 1 chicken. Baja Shrimp Taco
Leah W.

Immediately when I received my food I noticed it looked nothing like what i've seen on there social media and other pictures seen on yelp. Taste-wise, the beef was tough and I barely had any cheese in my quesabirria tacos. I can say that the consome sauce was very good and flavored. I tried the shrimp taco and I wasn't mad at it because the shrimp were good on its own but no so much in the taco. I would've preferred grilled shrimp. Id recommend POST as a whole but I wouldn't recommend taco fuego. Hopefully it was just a bad day :(

two people at the counter
Thuy P.

I was curious about the Birria ramen because of the combination of Asian and Mexican food. The combination of food was OK but it's super salty. Honestly I felt like I'm eating 1lb of salt in the bowl. Wonder if the Chef actually taste his own food. If he cuts down the saltiness of it 70% maybe it will help. My friend and I both couldn't eat our ramen. For sure I would never order that again.

Elote corn
Lisa B.

Good food, freshly prepared and huge portions!! I'd definitely return for more delicious food!!

Quesabirria taco with birria consome
Kyle W.

I saw birria on the menu and that immediately caught my eye. This was the last place we went to for food before Post Market closed for the day, and it was still fairly busy. I got the quesabirria taco, with the meat as birria de res of course, and also the birria consome to dip the taco in. What I realized is that this place charges for the consome, while other Taco Fuego in Houston seemingly doesn't if you just want a small quantity, and if they do, there are more garnishes like cilantro, etc in the consome. The taco is pretty solid - the shell is a bit toasted which makes it great for dipping the taco in the consome. There is a pretty generous amount of meat within, so even 1 taco is pretty filling. The consome is satisfying to dip and also drink a little, as it is quite flavorful, but it was a bit way too salty for me to enjoy.

Taco Fuego is a great spot at The Post in Houston. My friends were visiting and were caught by the halal sign on the Taco Fuego menu. We ended up getting Elotes and birria tacos. This was my absolute first time having birria tacos so I was in love with the taste however it would've been even better if it wasnt as tang-y. The Elotes were not the best, it was a little disappointing to bite into since a lot was expected but I believe that the cheese was just a little too overpowering in this case. However, all in all the birria tacos were pretty tasty and the staff were very nice in assisting us to choose which tacos to get. The Post's ambiance in general is super nice and trendy. It almost felt like we were not in America and teleported to another country! Highly recommend if its your first time having birria tacos and if you enjoy some Spice!!

I was given a large tea pot and the tea came pre sweetened and I could choose from a variety of flavors of tea. The experience also came with a bird cage of appetizers that were normal sized and was offered in a buffet style format. Whenever you wanted more of an appetizer, you were given more by request (this is why you paid the $40 plus dollars for that experience). I went today 9/20/26 and was told they only had two types of tea (for a High Tea reservation!!!!)...my appetizers were on a diet and looked nothing like my first experience. The appetizers weren't offered buffet style...WHAT GIVES? Why even spend $40 for baby sized food.

We appreciated that kind gesture. Every food item on the menu looked delicious. I decided on the Lamb Rack. Loved the texture of the lamb and loved the basmati rice.

It wouldn't be a flavor for everyone, but to me, it was a perfect ending to a great entree as it was light and mildly sweet. Note that not all food options are halal. Their website is updated with the information and you could also ask the server for clarification. Absolutely adore the interior. The restaurant could get loud but still bearable.

By the time we got to our table, we had only an hour to dine before the restaurant closes. Thankfully, our wonderful server was quick to get us settled in and that made up for the slow start. We tried a few dishes and found the starters to be more tasty than the main entree. Shirazi Salad, Rumi's Wings, Crispy Potato, Cremini & Oyster Mushroom Hummus was well worth sharing plates. Unfortunately, the Chicken Kabob lacked seasoning and any depth of flavor. It was the least favorite dish of the night. We also sampled every single desserts on the menu, but only the Majoon Toffee Cake won us over with its deliciously warm and comforting sweetness. While we enjoyed some dishes, the overall taste was just average for an upscale establishment. One major detail was the underwhelming of plating when it can play a vital role in how food is perceived. A little more finesse could really add value to the dining experience.

It went in the trash. Saffron rice was my ok, pointless really. Mac 'n cheese very plain Jane. The ice in my soda smelled funny. They did have some good employees. Service was great. They get a second star just for that. Don't think I'll be going back. I just have to say that I've been to some really crappy, run-down BBQ restaurants over the years. Old places where the owners are burned out and the staff doesn't care. Corners are cut and they just barely try. I'm sure you can think of some BBQ hole in the walls like that. As bad as they are with their Ekrich sausage, Van Camps pork 'n beans, Walmart meats, and KC Masterpiece bbq sauce - even they are better than Levant BBQ.

As I see the entrance, love the decor, ambiance, and the whole seating area with bar in the middle, flowers and sculptures is cute and insta worthy. I was sat down at 8 pm, my server was great, he does talk a lot but that's his personality. From the server standpoint service was great. Now the food, I ordered Mithus shrimp and butter chicken experience. I asked for spicy for both dishes. Shrimp and the sauce, really good, came with soft buns. Delicious! Although it was not spicy at as asked. The butter chicken experience was very disappointing for me - it came in 3 sauces, white, tomatillo and traditional. I felt they needed a bit of flavor, something more bold. I felt meh the whole time as I have had better butter chicken. Mind you, I'm Punjabi and this is owned by Punjabis so I was surprised the food was tasted by someone and was said this is ok. The traditional was my biggest meh, as the sauce was way too tangy, that is not butter chicken though. Now service, although server was great, my food was severely late, I was literally scrolling on my phone starving. Nothing was offered by staff to make up for it. When I say late - I sat down at 8 pm, I ordered both - app and main dish at the same time. My butter chicken did not hit my table till 9:30 pm. I almost wanted to walk out. The restaurant really need to step up their flavor game and service game. Overall, nothing to rave about, or make an effort to come back unless they really make it better. I have had better Indian food let alone Michelin, which again has been a great experience in New York, Chicago, DC and in Europe. I think the severely late food service, and lack of flavors, and keeping it so bland despite asking for spicy, killed it for me.

I'm always happy to discover a good restaurant recommendation, and this one definitely did not disappoint.

I'm not a big plantain person, so I initially asked for mine without them. But, I decided to give them a try anyway, both with and without them. I'm glad I did because the plantains actually added a really nice balance to the dish. The combination of the rice, curry, and plantains was mostly savory with just a hint of sweetness. Hands down, this was my favorite dish. I also have to give a shout out to the woman out front handling the samples. I spoke with her the most, and she did a really good job of selling the restaurant. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Sometimes it's the little things, like someone taking the time to introduce you to the food and make recommendations, that can really make a difference. All in all, ChopNBlok was a great find, and I'm glad my friend recommended it. I don't live in the area, but if I ever find myself back there, I would definitely return for the Golden Bowl. It's always nice when you discover a dish that makes you want to come back for more!
