    Ordered food to go- chicken empanadas with cilantro lime sauce and 2 mini fajita tacos. Looking forward to trying them!

    My husband and I l tried this place for the first time after shopping at Ikea (it's quite close). The food came out quickly, everything was fresh and delicious, the portions were plentiful! Service was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean. We would definitely eat here again the next time we are in Houston near Ikea!

    I unknowingly went to Taco Fuego on a Taco Tuesday, and I'm glad I did! Piper's Cantina, Tacos Doña Lena and Doña Leti's are also nearby, but I wanted to try something different. There's a few spots to park in front shared with other businesses in the shopping center. It gets pretty busy because all the eateries/stores like Chick-fil-A, Buffalo Wild Wings, Whataburger and Walmart are all on Silber Rd. My coworker and I both tried the steak mini street tacos with onions and cilantro with lime on the side. We each ordered only 2 for $2.50 each, but having eaten one, I wished I ordered the combo that comes with 5. The steak and corn tortillas were so flavorful especially with the green salsa and the other creamy green salsa that I wish I knew the name of. It might've been creamy cilantro, but it tasted a little like ranch. I had only ordered 2 tacos since I also wanted a side of fries. The fries were served hot and fresh with the best seasoning. It also came with a small sauce of ketchup/mayo (I think that was the combo). I shared that. I also had the pineapple agua fresca. It was a little on the sweet side but still good. There's plenty of inside seating, so we sat at one of the booths. The restaurant looked clean. People were coming and going to pick up their orders. Yes, their items are a little pricier than other taco places, but it tasted so good that I'll be back. A bonus is that I work less than 10 minutes away. I'd love to try their other menu items.

    My meal was exceptional!! I had never eaten Taco Fuego downtown Houston, but I was so glad I found this hot spot. Friendly, fast service and the place had such a cool vibe. I am hoping to get a Taco Fuego a little further north of Houston because it's definitely one I would frequent. It may be worth the hr drive again!!

    Visiting out of town, so I had to visit this famous place. Outstanding place for authentic tacos I ordered amazingly juicy Birria Tacos with beef and shrimp, and beef street tacos. To die for. Bursts with flavor, fresh, and great customer service. Mike, the GM said he cooked my food. Lots of love for paying attention to taco lovers. Highly recommended taco place. You won't regret it. Thank you.

    I was very delicious! I ordered fajitas street taco combo. I'm very small eater, but I could go almost second order! Very small tacos, and portions. Foods are very good and love their creamy green hot sauce!

    Cashier does not understand well. First I said "Can I order the shrimp wrap combo that comes with drink and fries?" After I get the receipt, he walks away. I flag him and ask for my soda cup. He states that I didn't say the combo LOL. I look at the menu and see that's it'd be premium to order fries and drink on the side at this point. A bit disturbed....I said okay and politely walked away. I'm waiting for my food now, and he brings me someone else's order......mind you there's three people sitting down. Home boy brings me flautas...like bro, I literally ordered 30 seconds ago. Me realizing this dude isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, I look at my receipt. And yup....he took my order wrong - he charged me for loaded shrimp fries. I got up to the counter and I let him know that I didn't order the loaded fries, I ordered the wrap. He insisted that I ordered the fries.... This is where I lost it and asked for a refund. He told me that he'd talk to his manager and walks to the back. Comes back out and said that they'll change the order. At this point I go back to my table fuming....and for the cherry on top, see that the fries cost more LOL. I'm fucking done. This guys is fucking comedy. P.s. when I said he doesn't understand well....peep my name on the receipt. I literally spelled my name out for him. I said "Joon, jay oh oh en." How the fuck do you get JIMY lmao I'm dead.

    I ordered three things which tasted good but the quantity and taste wasn't reflective of the price. I wouldn't go out my way to come back but I'd order again if I was in the area. I do look forward to giving it another try but only if I was nearby at IKEA or something.

    Ramen Birria Combo
    David P.

    Nut allergy friendly - I wasn't really able to ask but the menu seemed friendly. Easy parking in the strip mall. Adequate seating inside (booths and tables of 2-4). One lady at the counter that also doubled as a server - seemed understaffed. My order was not understood correctly - I ordered the ramen combo assuming it came with fries, but it did not. My friends' quesadilla combo and burger combos came with fries and they were able to ask for juices to substitute the fountain drink. Service was unfortunately poor. The ice machine was broken and so the tea was lukewarm. There were no utensils, so when I got my birria Ramen I had to sit there for 5-10 minutes while the unfortunate sole cashier/waitress went looking for plastic utensils to refill the container. My dish was getting cold by the time I got utensils. Birria Ramen: 1.5/5. Overly salty - and I eat many other ramen places with salty tonkatsu; trust me when I say this is SALTY. The ramen was no better than packets you get at the grocery store. Corn had the texture from a can. The birria meat is definitely a plus, but it was way too salty. It's like they mixed the ramen package with salty birria. Birria Burger: 3.5/5. Actually tasted better dipped into the birria Ramen. Decently flavorful. Fries were very salty and not crispy. Didn't get to try my friend's quesadilla but it seemed good, and he gave it a 4/5.

    Texan Taco, Quesabirria Taco, Street Corn Cup

    Pretty good! Prices are fair enough, some things a lil pricy, some things not. YUMMY.

    Crunch Wrap with chicken, came with guac and seared onions!
    Lizet M.

    First time trying, it was really good! I got the Crunchwrap with chicken and it was delicious and crunchy, they bring 2 salsa's out with your food, place was clean and not too busy. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Staff were very nice!

    $$

    Allow me to be Review No. 1,100 following my visit to this wonderful culinary gem yesterday…read more By default, Spring Branch is Houston's Koreatown, but it's not unusual to find establishments with Spanish-language branding on them throughout the neighborhood. And Tacos Doña Lena, on which I'll heap tons of praise on, is among them. A group of friends and I had supper here before a live show down the street at Eighteen Ten Ojeman. Upon seeing the storefront when we pulled into the parking lot, my first thought was, "Okay, this is legit Mexican, not Tex-Mex." The interior is quite small with some tables and an ample late Saturday afternoon crowd. What caught my eye is how the environment is what you might expect to find at a family-run taqueria off the beaten path. Rock en Español blaring from the sound system. Colorful papel picado draped from the ceiling. A framed Mexican flag and several references to the central Mexican municipality of Guanajuato. The intoxicating smell of spice-laced grilled beef wafting through the air. Simply put, we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. I glanced at the menu. There are numerous, delicious-sounding items that happen to be wallet-friendly, a bit cheaper than if you were to go to Gringos or Jimmy Changas. According to a mutual, the tacos here are the main draw, but what really caught my attention and appetite was the ramen birria. Mujeres y caballeros (ladies and gentlemen), let me proclaim that Tacos Doña Lena turns a noodle dish with origins in Japan and is a known staple in college dorm rooms into a must-try on this part of America's fourth-largest city. Two amazing food cultures unite for a fiery meeting of the minds. Anchored by a rich, tasty consomé that's spicy but not enough to where you need to drink multiple glasses of water, there's a prime mix of ramen noodle, beef birria, cheese, fried egg, rabanos, garbazo, and corn accompanied by cilantro, onions, and a pair of fried tostadas. I was so impressed with how the contents of the ramen blended together. Since it was ramen after all despite the south of the border touchup, I still ate it the traditional way: pick up the noodles and sip the soup. There was so much that I had no choice but to put it in a takeout container. Sure, Spring Branch may be home to some great traditional Korean restaurants, but don't sleep on Tacos Doña Lena.

It's also a huge plus that they're open late, perfect for those late-night cravings. The green sauce is incredible, and I always go for the fajita quesadillas, they never miss. Pricing is fair for the quality you get, so no complaints there. Just keep in mind it's cash only, no cards or online payments. The lines are almost always long no matter the time of day, but they move quickly, so the wait isn't bad. I usually grab a pink lemonade as well, which hits every time. Out of all the locations, El Taconazo is definitely the one to go to, hands down some of the best tacos you'll find on Fulton St.

One of my friends took me here and we all got to try a lot of stuff. 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.

There's a parking lot, but we went on the weekend, and while the interior didn't look overly full, it was somewhat difficult to find a parking spot. The restaurant itself is clean. Everything is pretty much green and white. There's covered patio seating. You order from a window and there's a large menu printed nearby The menu offers all sorts of tacos, meats, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, quesabirras, sides, and even kids meals. You can get beer, margaritas, and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also a breakfast menu The food was good, and it didn't take too long to come out. My main issue was the service. The individual taking orders seemed to have a bit of an attitude and just seemed "over it." Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did! Cheers!!
