8/10 If you're looking for solid street tacos in Houston, Tacos El Bigote is definitely one of the better spots around. I tried the pastor (trompo), pollo, and fajita tacos. My favorites were the pastor and the chicken. The pastor had great flavor and was easily the standout for me. The chicken was also really good, juicy, and well seasoned. The fajita (carne asada) and the pastor were still good, but not the best tacos I've ever had. I know a lot of people say this is one of the best taco spots in the city, and while I wouldn't personally rank it at the very top, it's definitely a reliable taco spot that's better than most places. I also tried the rice, which was better than most Tex-Mex rice you'll find. It wasn't my absolute favorite, and probably not something I'd go out of my way to order again, but it was still solid. One thing to keep in mind is the line. I went on Tuesday (Taco Tuesday) when they have $1 tacos, and the line was really long. Also note that the $1 deal is only for the pork tacos, so if you're planning to order other meats anyway, it might be better to go on another day and avoid the wait. Seating was also very limited. That said, I did notice they have $1 margaritas on Mondays, which honestly sounds like a great reason for me to come back. Overall: not the best tacos I've ever had, but definitely a good taco spot worth having in your back pocket.
The place is so upbeat. Has many chairs for small to big groups. This is only an indoor seating and parking space is shared. The service was nice and fast. They have an open kitchen where you can also see how they make the food, it is like a show. It is nice. The food was good. We savor every bite - the consome was good just feels like it didn't hit so much the flavor I crave for. But overall it was still good.
These tacos are solid, decent portion size too and nice tortilla. The two salsas are tasty and appropriately spicy from a Mexican perspective lol. The restaurant is clean, busy, and staff are very sweet. One thing I really liked was they actually put pineapple on their trompo tacos. They have awesome drink specials, on Thursdays they have $2 beers domestic and international which is awesome. Overall I give this place 4.5 out of 5, not the best tacos I've had in Houston, but this is authentic, tasty, and a great time. I'm coming back for sure.
Finally found a great taco place in the area! Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and it was busy! Lots of people enjoying their food - despite the busyness, the place was kept clean and the service was fast and friendly. I got their Birria Quesitacos, Lengua Taco, and a Pastor Gordita. My favorite was the Birria Quesitaco! Great flavor and the cheese was sooo good. I also really enjoyed the Lengua Taco - the chunks of meat were very tender and it pairs well with the salsa verde. The Pastor Gordita was good but not quite as good as the other items. This place felt very authentic! Most of everyone, including the servers, were talking in Spanish. It was super affordable too! We added on the gordita later, but initially the 6 tacos + a small horchata was only $21! Feeding 2 people for a little over $10 is such a steal, especially when the food is this good. Will definitely be coming back again
This place is a Houston staple for authentic Mexican food! Every time I go, there's always a long line but surprisingly it goes by really fast, the food is impeccable tacos you could never go wrong with we tried the gordita and the new Tijuana tacos. Oh my gosh gordita was top-tier cheesy to perfection and they give you this great not too spicy sauce with it. Along with some lettuce and tomatoes . To be honest, the Tijuana tacos were not everything that I expected . But the food is always impeccable and tasty. Best part is it comes out really fast! The Agua Fresca was top-tier 10 out of 10 not too sweet perfect for a summer day ! Parking in front. This is such a chill place people come from everywhere and you can tell by the line this place is amazing .
The food tasted good; friendly service and clearing dining environment. The only complaint I might have is too much corn inside Menudo which made me felt paying $12 for bowl of corn soup. We enjoyed our lunch.
Food was nostalgic, atmosphere was energetic with the music full blast and the open kitchen as you wait to order. Lots of meat options and it's more than tacos. The aguas were delicious.
Excellent, authentic street tacos and tortas at a great price. We ordered food by phone and checkout was quick and easy in-store. Service was kind and fast. Vibe inside feels like a neighborhood Mexican taqueria spot, but with a more modernized, cleaner, and sleeker interior. Highlights were the fajita, trompo, lengua, tripa, and al pastor. Al pastor, lengua, and fajita were some of the best I've had so far in Houston. The salsa verde is flavorful but only mild, so mix it with the less flavorful but spicy red sauce. Street tacos are a good size and they load em up well. Trompo suffers a little in transit for takeout and becomes a little dry so probably best to eat it fresh at the restaurant if possible. Adding salsa and lime helped with that though, and the flavor is simple but great. Tortas were fantastic, just the right size, and toasted well.
Somos frecuentes desde sus primeros dias. Pero al parecer el servicio y la comida va empeorando. Antes abia dos cajeros y ahora solo uno. Y se demoran mucho. Y la carne de los tacos de trompo estaba muy seco y quemado. Pedimos una sopa con birria y al parecer el caldo solo estaba tibio. Cuando nos dieron la sopa, la pasta estaba cruda. Aver si mejoran.
Found this place near where we were shopping!!! So far customer service isn't very good! No smile or welcoming, a sh&$y face when taking order and no eye contact, more like your annoying me! The food smells real good and menu is a little confusing but let's try it out!! It does get packed but we found a place to sit by bar area!!! It's loud so don't get overwhelmed lol I don't mind music playing this loud!!! We ordered birria tacos to go and lengua, tripa and asada for here, also a California burrito!!! Yes California!!' Let's see if it's as good as cali burritos A michelada was ordered and wel deserved jijij, pacífico beer! It's very refreshing and just perfectly prepared!!! California burrito, nope! It shouldn't have lettuce and should have fries!!! Oh no!!! The manager and guy servers are very nice but the girls are rude, so work on that!!! Maria V, work on your customer service!!! As a business owner, I would really appreciate the feedback from customers and this is for the business owner! Omg the lengua is so savory and tender!!! Amazing job here! Not any place knows how to make lengua and let me tell you about the trompo!! It's just perfectly seasoned and the flavor is amazing, add the pineapple pieces to the taco it's just amazing!!! Instead of aguacate chunks, smash it!! Just like Mexico and it will be the bomb!!! The tripa Can be cooked how ever you choose!! I asked extra crunchy almost like chicharrón!!! Yummmm it was very good!!! The green salsa is spicy but bit overpowering!!! It's perfect
Sometimes crowded but always very very good. Extremely good to superb food sometimes when it's just very good I get let down and remember oh it's way better than the average place even at its worst and that is average flavor. You'll be pleasantly surprised and then it's best you'll be superbly surprised I've tried a few dishes a few I liked a few didn't my wife has tried quite a few. She likes them all overall delicious food afternoon or evening. If you don't like Spanish or Mexican music, you might not want to go here because that's all you hear playing and all the Spanish channels and the sports and all that they got a lot of sports TVs turned on at the same time
First time trying this spot out & we loved it! Was craving some authentic Mexican food and this did not disappoint! The fajita is real fajita , birria quesabirrias were bomb, barbacoa was delicious & pure meat, and flautas were great. The pepino agua fresca súper buena!!! Overall , my husband and I left highly satisfied and will be coming back. We got there on a Sunday exactly at time of opening & a lot of people started to come in right after, busy business I see!
My neighbor recommended me to try Tacos El Bigotes at 8400 S Gessner Rd near Hwy 69. Me and my friend came here last month to give it a try. As far as the parking situation was easy. The restaurant was half filled during lunchtime. The service was so-so. I felt like being rushed during ordering. It was my first time. But the cashier didn't understand why it took us so long to read the menu. There is no paper menu. It's either reading from the menu board hung behind the counter or use QR code. The food tasted okay. Nothing to be excited about. The prices was kind of high for me. But because they got a lunch crowd, I consider it's normal for other customers. The taco sauces were bland. The bottle were pretty, tho. We both ordered street tacos to sample. But that ain't enough. Then, we both ordered birrias with and without cheese. I didn't quite like it because the shells were crunchy and consommé was not flavorful enough. This was my 3rd time eating birrias and it wasn't my thing. I'll continue looking for other birria restaurants.

The restaurant was very clean inside, nice ambiance. Customer service was great! Everyone was so nice and attentive. Food was a 10/10! I ordered one flour taco and one corn taco. Both with chicken. The corn taco was soggy but I guess I should have asked for it to be crispy. We also ordered the barria tacos with consume soup. They were delicious! And also very affordable. The margaritas tasted so good. On Mondays they are only a dollar. Will definitely be returning. read more

Gorditas de Chicharrón Verde was absolutely delicious. The salsa verde had a perfect little tang to it without being overwhelming or too spicy. The chicharrón had fantastic texture--a great mix of meaty pieces and soft skin. Combined with the cheese and beans, it was incredibly flavorful. They definitely weren't shy with the filling on this one! My husband ordered gordita de tripas & this one and was pretty disappointed. Unlike mine, the portion ratio was way off. It lacked a good amount of tripas, and he ended up with far more cheese than meat. The Drinks: The Michelada unfortunately lacked flavor and didn't quite hit the mark. Overall Verdict The food has great potential (definitely get the chicharrón verde!), but consistency with the portions and drink flavor could be improved. I wouldn't recommend making a massive detour just to come here, but if you're driving past and craving a flavorful gordita, it's worth checking out. read more

Fun place to get quick meal! The tacos and tortas were sooo good. They were a little greasy to hold but v worth it. Make sure to grab some extra napkins. I would totally come back bc the price was really good as well. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your seat. It's a fun place to be, a little loud but lots of seats. Seemed popular for families and friends to eat! read more

Per the recommendation of a trusted source, I wanted to try Tacos El Bigotes. I am very happy I did! I arrived between 1:30 - 2 pm. and still had to wait in line! A very good sign good food was about to be had. I ordered the Birria Tacos and a Barbacoa half quesadilla, then found a table and waited with anticiaption for my food. Both were very good. I especially enjoyed the birria tacos with the au-jus for dipping as I am a dunker by nature. Very busy eatery with a very casual environment. With the crowd, it does get a bit noisy. The food was spot on, and the prices were more than fair. I will definitely be passing on the recommendation for Tacos El Bigotes. read more

There is usually a pretty long line so be prepared to wait for at least 15-30 mins. Seating can be limited too. I ordered the birria quesitacos with a pepino limon (cucumber lime) agua fresca. I opted for the 3 taco order and the small drink since I wasn't too hungry. The prices were great! It cost me around $11 for everything. It took about 10 minutes for my food to be ready which wasn't too bad considering they were slammed. The food was good, but I thought it would be out of this world considering all the reviews I read. I would come back here again, but I'm still on the search for the best tacos in Houston. read more
