    Cash only
    Emily G.

    We liked the food it was nothing too special though. No card reader just cash only. The menu with prices Could be updated or posted better.

    Pollo, pastor, barbacoa, & fajita tacos
    Gabrielle E.

    A friend had been telling me about this place for a while and we finally took a trip so I could see what it was all about. It was about a 25 min drive but it was worth it. These were probably the best tacos I've had since I moved to Houston. The food also came out pretty fast, especially considering how much food we ordered in total.

    Tacos and gorditas de pastor
    Lynnette G.

    Great food. Great salsa. Fast service. Cash only. Clean. Nice tables and chairs if you want to dine in. We will definitely be back!

    Fajita tacos

    If you are craving well-priced & yummy tacos late at night, this is the food truck to go to!! Great service. Great people. Better food! I personally like the pastor and my bf enjoys the barbacoa. I always get the horchata (it's very sweet) and he gets aqua fresca de pina.

    Everyone has been hyping this place up! I decided to give it a go. Easy to miss if you are speeding so slow down after mills rd!! Look for a truck attached to a tent ! Walk through there and you'll see tables and a place to order AND a vending machine. The lady speaks English pretty well compared to other places. Even though she got my order wrong it's cool. 3 fajita tacos with onion, 3 fajita tacos without onion on flour without cheese, 2 chicken on corn The chicken was alright, not bad. The salsa verde was pretty friggin good and SPICY! I like that. Make sure you have something to chug down! Beef fajita -the meat was hard, more hard than usual. I went on a Monday, possibly why. I would imagine like a previous review the meat is freshest on weekend. Other than that this will do! I loved that they put avocado and caramelized onion on everything WITHOUT extra charge. I'll come back- on a weekend

    Steak and chicken fajitas, elote, horchata!
    Mel N.

    Who needs tacos from anywhere else! All the food is good and it's so close to where I live. All of the drinks are refreshing as well, and come in pretty big cups, bigger than my big head. Horchata was on point! I've tried a bunch of tacos with different meats; fajitas, barbacoa, chicken, al pastor, they're all amazing. They come with cilantro, onions, and avocado with no extra charge! Plus you get green and red sauce on the side. And the elote, mmmmmmm. These tacos are good and CHEAPPPPPPPPP!

    Chicken and pork tacos
    Patty C.

    Still delicious, but they raised the price of the tacos by a $.25. They sell bottled water, and now they have a vending machine. The makeover they had recently is a nice improvement. Don't forget to ask for the sauce bottles if you dine in at one of their picnic tables. They don't offer it to you otherwise.

    Fajita Sopes
    Gaby H.

    Decided to stop by and check it out with my family and we enjoyed the food very much! Tacos, Sopes and Gorditas are amazing! The ladies running this place are very friendly and fast to make your order! Definitely check this place out!

The burger itself is cooked surprisingly well, though I would probably go with the classic brioche bun next time rather than their suggested sourdough (felt more like a toasted sandwich) bread. They also have a daily math problem that you can solve for some candy which is literally so Asian -_- brings me back to high school math class

To start off with a positive, I thought the falafel patty had a really great taste and was absolutely the highlight of the burger. But outside of that the burger and the toppings I ordered just didn't work as well as I would've liked. I ordered my burger with mushrooms and sauteed onions, both toppings I know I absolutely love from making burgers at home and from other spots, but neither added much. At first I was worried that the falafel was overpowering them both but upon eating them by themselves they just lacked taste. We also got the scallion aioli on the burger and I never got a hint of it at any point. All in all, the burger was very much mediocre outside of the patty. We also got fries with the burger and while they absolutely had some potential they were extremely over seasoned. Any appreciation for the seasonings in a vacuum was immediately overshadowed by how salty they were. We also ordered the Sambal Mayo as a dipping sauce and while it did help subdue the insane salt level and overall tasted quite good, upon writing this review I found out by looking at their online menu that it contained some amount of shrimp. This information is nowhere to be seen on the ordering slip and wasn't mentioned when I handed it over to the person working at the cash register. And while I definitely accept some level of responsibility for not doing my due diligence and asking or letting them know of my dietary restrictions, it's still an extremely frustrating thing to have happen as both a vegetarian and someone with a mild shellfish allergy. If for whatever reason the online menu is out of date or I missed an obvious indication of it containing shrimp somewhere I am more than happy to edit my review.

I went with the Double Good Burger at Johnny Good Burger, and honestly... it was surprisingly good. Perfectly smashed patties with those crispy edges, juicy inside, and well-balanced flavors that didn't feel overcomplicated. Sometimes simple just works--and this definitely did. The fries deserve their own shoutout: extra crispy, hot, and downright addictive. No soggy sadness here. I kept telling myself "just one more" until the tray was mysteriously empty. All in all, a very satisfying burger experience. If you're in the mood for a legit smash burger and happen to be wandering POST Houston, this one's absolutely worth stopping for.

Service was mid, and I wish the workers gave as much effort as they put on their phone to customers. We ordered to-go, yet lacked necessities like napkins & silverware for multiple meals. The patty melt burger was tasty & the tangy secret sauce leveled up the entire burger (highly recommend). The burgers are big enough to share if you are doing a burger & fries because as you can see in the photos, it is so much food, definitely paying for quantity over quality here.

First, the parking lot entrance is blink and you'll miss it, tucked narrowly between the carwash and the cafe on Washington, but parking is surprisingly ample.

The burger was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, the burger sauce was really nice without being cloying or overpowering, and the bun was nice and soft. The fries were those nice, thick, crispy on the outside soft on the inside diner style seasoned fries.
