I firmly believe every day is a taco day, and I recently discovered they serve birria tacos here. Needless to say, I went on back 2 back days. Everything was made fresh to order, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, and those birria tacos were mmmhhhmmmm good!! A+++ read more

Thats a NO for me, sorry. Im used to the location on 59, by Beechnut. I didnt know about this location and got excited when I drove by it. Ambiance, cleanliness and variety of mexican sodas is what they got my 2 stars for. Firstly, the salsas are not even the same and as a Mexican, a good salsa makes or breaks a taco. So that was disappointment #1. Secondly, I ordered 1 tripa dorada and 1 trompo; the guy messed up my order and added 1 lengua. When they brought it, they took my whole plate to remove the extra taco and by the time I got my plate back, my other 2 tacos were cold. NO THANKS. Disappointment #2. Thirdly, when my other 2 tacos came back, the tripa was soggy and cold, so they brought the manager and wanted to take my plate AGAIN to change the tripa taco, so I told him NO because im hungry and my trompo is going to be cold now, so he grabbed a napkin (instead of bringing a plate), put his hand on my plate and took the tripa taco. I was SOOO upset and dissatisfied that I told him to just change the soggy tripa for fajita. Disappointment #3 Now that I ate my trompo taco, let me say the meat.... Cold , obviously, Not much flavor at all, nicely grilled yes, but the flavor was not there... to that we add the flavorless salsas and cold double tortilla. Yea, no. To the tripa taco that was changed for a fajita, i could say it was good. Not GOOD, not Good, but "alright". Again, flavorless salsas didnt help the poor taco either. I was the one that told my husband to go there because the ones on Gessner used to be great. Sorry, but as a Mexican, not even 2.75 a taco is worth anything I ate. Hoping they improve. read more

I've been searching for the best birria tacos in the city, and I think this is the place. The birria tacos are absolutely delicious, the service is fast, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They also have great weekly deals, which makes it even better :) Don't forget to pair your birria with a michelada or their frozen margarita -- the perfect combo! read more

Tacos El Bigotes - Birria Quesitacos - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

Noticed this second Tacos El Bigotes location opened back in late 2023 (How did I not know that until now!?) and glad that it's near my office. Having been to the original location in Sugarland, I expected the same tasty eats and efficient service here. Fortunately they do not disappoint. They are quick with your orders and they bring them out within a matter of minutes. With it being open kitchen, you can see the staff concocting your eats with precision, determination, and focus. All the tacos are yummy with the lengua, tripa, and barbacoa having the best flavors IMO. Their quesadillas has a wonderful savory cheese pull too. And of course, can't forget those salsas. Tuesdays have $1 trompo taco specials. Hard to beat that. Not to mention they are mixed with pineapple for some sweetness to it. Plenty of seating here although they have quite the line during lunch so be prepared to wait. But it's so worth it! Viva El Bigotes!!!! read more

Tacos El Bigotes - Fajitas Fajita ala Mexicana - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

I went to Tacos El Bigotes after researching taco spots in Houston that serve trompo tacos, which are cooked on a vertical rotisserie with pineapple. They're one of the few places in the city offering this style, and every Tuesday the trompo tacos are only $1 each, which is an incredible deal. I went on a Tuesday evening and ordered the trompo tacos (pork). They come topped with onions, cilantro, lime, and two salsas (red and green). I also added extra pineapple. One thing that confused me is that their trompo is pork, but it's not exactly the same as traditional al pastor. I always thought trompo al pastor was the style of meat, but here it seems their seasoning and preparation make it different. [TACOS] +Trompo Tacos for $1 each (Tuesday Special) - These are small street-style tacos served with onions, cilantro, lime, and both red and green salsas. The meat was flavorful, but mine tasted a bit hardened and chewy, which made me wonder if it wasn't cut fresh off the trompo. The extra pineapple didn't add as much sweetness as I hoped either. Still, the overall flavor was good, especially for the price, and definitely worth trying if you're curious about trompo tacos. - 4/5 Overall, for $1 tacos on Tuesdays, this is an amazing deal and absolutely worth checking out. The flavor is solid, the value is unbeatable, and I'd return to see if the meat is even better when freshly sliced. I'd also try al pastor meat instead, but I am wondering if it's cooked on a trompo? read more

Came on a Sunday night and really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere is super casual and good for groups as they have lots of options for seating. I ordered the gordita with al pastor and two tacos with trompo and pollo guisado. The gordita was stuffed with meat and cheese and the masa was super fresh. Topped with the salsa verde, it was exactly what I would want from a Gordita. (7/10) The tacos were also great with both the trompo meat and the pollo guisado being moist and flavorful. They were comparable to taco trucks I've tried and had very authentic flavors. (7/10) Overall, for the super reasonable prices and the delicious food I will definitely recommend and be back soon! read more

Counter serve spot. Quick service, decent food. California burritos aren't quite what i expected them to be (where are the fries?) Trompo, carne asada, and lengua are all good choices. The hot sauces aren't the best. Green is pretty standard but not enough heat in the red. read more

Let me start by saying the cucumber limeade is my new drink. Whenever I'm in vicinity of this establishment, I'm stopping to get this drink. No Cap! Ok, i was in the area and needed to grab lunch. I got the torta and a chicken taco. The chicken taco was delicious. The Torta was also delicious. Both were good and full filling. I walked out of there not feeling heavy and lethargic.

When I eat ethnic foods (Mexican, Asian, Persian, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese) I pay attention to the customers. If none are from the cuisine's country of origin, my radar goes up. El Bigotes (The Mustache) had an almost 100% Mexican clientele. I visited on Saturday for lunch, and business was brisk. The menu is a cornucopia of delicious, hardcore, traditional, Mexican street dishes: tacos, tortas, gorditas, and more, with a focus on items like barbacoa, birria, and various meats like beef fajita, lengua (Beef tongue), and trompo (Lebanese Pork Shawarma). They also serve breakfast tacos, and some offer specials like all-you-can-eat crispy tacos and cheese enchiladas. The food is very authentic. The service is very intense, from the moment you order until you finish your meal. Our experience was perfectly authentic in every way. The Southwest Freeway location is in a strip center that evokes a kind of post-industrial vibe: unfinished, but in a stylish manner. The ambiance is border town and accentuates the experience. This is as good a real deal experience you'll find in Houston. This location is at 8400 Gessner just off the Southwest Freeway. read more

I had the Fajita Ranchera o bc flour tortilla. For something being $13.99, OMG! I'm literally writing the review here so I can digest all the food! I'm so full that I can hardly type! This was by far too good! It out exceeded my expectations and that isn't something easily done! My wife had the beef fajita with avocado on corn tacos and loved them. She said she wished there had been just a tad bit more meat though. And we shared a large limonada as well! read more

You know from the moment you walk in that it's going to be good.

The staff is the friendliest and actually look like they enjoy their jobs......hard to come by these days. Whether your ordering a massive catering order, or a couple of drunken happy hour tacos, or OMG $1 taco Tuesdays, this place always hits the spot. Consistency and flavor all day everyday. read more

The margaritas are solid, especially during happy hour on Mondays and Tuesdays, when the deals are hard to beat. The atmosphere is modern and inviting, making it a fun spot to hang out. As for the food, it's hit or miss. Most of the menu is pretty average, but the tacos are actually a good value for the price and worth trying. Customer service has consistently been excellent every time we've visited, which definitely adds to the overall experience. read more

So came here for a taco Tuesday and it was lively. There was a line but it moved quickly and staff was nice. They had music in the background which gave off a really good energy. This places is self seating, however we were able to find a clean cozy booth. Food arrived hot shortly after and staff checked in on us frequently. The birria itself dried out a lil bit but the consommé brought it to life the tacos were 3/5. There house sauces were very tasty and spicy 5/5. The aqua frescas were really good too 4/5. The shrimp ceviche tostado was flavorful and good portion 4/5. This was a nice first time visit. read more

Authentic explosion of the tastebuds! For the authentic prices! As authentic Mexican food becomes trendy I often see $2 tacos be sold for $5 and the flavor is always lacking. However Tacos El Bigotes gives you the comfort of a new restaurant with the tastes of abuela's (grandma's) kitchen. I visited on a Thursday at lunch and it was moderately busy but the food was delivered quickly. I order the barbacoa quesadilla and it was melt in your mouth. I also ordered a lengua (beef tongue) taco but eat it before I realized I did not take a picture. It was also cooked to perfection and tender. Tables are provided with a green and red salsa the green salsa was perfect. I liked the green enough and unfortunately did not try the red one. Give them a visit! I will be back soon. Tacos are also advertised for $1 on Tuesdays as of the is review. read more

So like yessssssss!!! I've been waiting forever for this joint to open. Like literally passed by last week like a stalker bc the lights were on but they weren't open yet lmao. But it's been well worth the wait. Went for gorditas pollo & barbaccoa plus a model. Omg the meat was so juicy on both. Beer frosty. And let's not forget those tasty salsas!! Service was perfect. Since it was opening weekend they were very busy but still kept smiles on their faces. No bad attitudes or Just slapping food together. They are going to be seeing plenty of me for the rest of their days!! My doctor just told me I need to lower my carb intake. So much for that I'm hooked! All I can say is get over here & check it out. I'll be back to taste some of their aguas too. Yelp on my friends! read more

Food is fire ! Good prices. When I walked in restaurant looked clean , good music and good vibes . Fast customer service.

3.5 if I could give it. Looking for quick lunch I suggested this place because my brother brought me tacos before from here on a Tuesday because they had a special. Last time I had them they were on the dry side so I was a little afraid. This day I took my partner here so we could try them because I always see that it's packed at night. She ordered 1 barbacoa taco, 1 pastor, and a pollo guisado. I ordered 3 pastor and a lengua torta. So this day the pastor was delicious and so juicy compared to before when it was dry. So that is such a plus. The torta was a little lacking in terms of meat ratio. Every bite had bread and beans lettuce and other things but I was search for the lengua it was unfortunately not in every bite. The bread they had was good though, it was soft light and airy and it was fresh. My partners tacos were on the dryer side so she had to go order more pastor, and she also got a drink they forgot to give but they did give it just had to mention. Overall I would try again for a quick bite. read more

The food is good and comes out fast! Always clean tables and good service! My only issue is they add so much ice on the agua frescas. I asked for a refill and the lady said no refills, I told her they add it way too much ice. She ignored it, and just asked me if I wanted to order anything else. Later, I saw the lady laughing looking in my direction with a coworker. (Maybe is just me cause I was annoyed) So if you come here just ask for extra light ice! read more

I have gone to the Tacos El Bigotes on 249 (12661 Tomball Pkwy) several times around the dinner rush and once at the end of the weekday lunch rush. At dinner time, the place is jumping.

My only drawback on this location is that on some of my visits, the employee taking my order spoke little to no English, and unfortunately, my Spanish is no bueno. read more
