Beef street tacos on flour
Amanda D.

The Food was delicious we will be back! service was great, quick as well Seating available.

Torta de Reyes y Elote
B S.

Service friendly & orders can be made in Spanish or English. Today credit card payment method was available. The ambiance is what you would expect for a food truck located in a gas station parking lot, next to a relatively busy intersection. Sitting is limited to three small round tables with metal seats. Not ideal during the summer heat but ok for evening sitting, if available. No privacy, unless you eat, or wait, in your vehicle. Torta de Reyes (2/5): unmemorable beef flavor, beans ok, medium~thick soft breading, single small slice of avocado. Solid meal portion but missed that authentic torta flavor. Elote (2/5): original, basic flavors of corn & a bit of queso fresco. Not soupy. Small cup. No exciting flavors. Pricing in my opinion for these two items are a bit high for flat taste; but to be expected in this economy.

Quesitacos with consommé
Mel N.

Birria tacos! Located in a gas station parking lot in Katy, this little truck has some good birria tacos! Everything is CASH ONLY so I'm letting y'all know right now. Only tried the birria quesitacos with consommé and it was $12 for 4 tacos. Not bad for trying this for the first time! Tacos were lined with cheese and crispy on the outside. Flavorful and I liked all the included condiments. Can only recommend the quesitacos because that's all I got lol.

Drove 30 mins to get here, when I was 5 minutes away I called in to order ahead of time. The wait time for the food was 20 minutes which is odd for a food truck, but maybe the process for a birria is a lot more. CASH ONLY! -- Quesitacos w/ Consome (3/5) - The meat was pretty juicy, meaty flavor, but not really seasoned. The Consome has also a very meaty flavor, would be a great soup. I had really high expectations considering the reviews and the wait. 12 -- Beef Tacos (2/5) - The meat was very dry, flavorless, and the meat smelled old. Nothing special to me.

Birria with consome
Nora C.

I was pretty excited to try Tacos El Grande because I love tacos! I also love giving new places a try :) CASH ONLY! I got their #1 on the menu which is $12 for 4 tacos and consome. The birria tacos were oh so delicious, especially when dipped in the consome! The meat was tender, cheese was soft, the crunch of radish, and flavorful onion and cilantro AND their green salsa! You just have to eat it fast or else the shells get soggy and breaks apart lol. I have braces so it took me a good 45 minute to finish my meal which was too long!

food truck
Raelin F.

#1st time here 1. The entrance - Food truck on the side of a Chevron off Franz Rd in Katy, TX. 2 wooden picnic tables if you want to eat there. 2. The First Vibe - Great! Clean! Backs up to a neighborhood. We did notice upon arrival that it is ONLY CASH. Luckily, there was a gas station with an atm - $2 service fee. 3. Time 2 table - we got this to go - so roughly 10 mins. 4. Menu - simple and small. What to get? Quesatacos with the consome. OMG. The consome is a game changer. 5. Server - no server but the man at the window took our oder. 6. Drinks - they have topo and glass bottled sodas 7. Food - see photos! Larger portions than I thought. I definitely had leftover tacos the next day 8. No dessert 9. Management - Management takes all the credit for the process - service was great and quick. No issues. 10. Cleanliness - Clean. I think some food trucks can get a bad rap for not being clean. But the area surrounding the truck and the quality of our food can attribute to the cleanliness. Def coming back. New go-to food truck spot for birria tacos and consome. Check out our IG reel on this food truck at craveonomics on Instagram! #craveonomics

SECOND VISIT W NO CONSOME :(
Mi T.

REALLY FREAKING GOOD YALL. Today was the second time I've eaten dinner here & literally no regrets. Ordered over the phone so it'll be ready by the time you get there so you're not waiting in the sun BUT REMEMBER IF YOU ORDER W CONSOME, ask for it when you pick it up because they forgot to give me some when my boyfriend picked it up & he didn't bother to check the bag :( so we're currently enjoying the quesitacos without the consome. I would really recommend if you're following the hype & trying to find yummy birria tacos !! I'm actually really sad because the consome was so good last time that I DRANK IT & I'm not even ashamed to tell y'all. TRY IT !!

Malcolm R.

This was our first time tonight and all we can say is..... OH HELL YES!!!!! They got the food out quick and it traveled well. When we got home everything was hot and tasty. They only let you pay with cash as of now. Great size truck with tables on the outside to sit at. It seems a bit hidden but this place is a must visit!

Candace G.

I met my friend here to grab birria tacos to go. I thought they'd be soggy by the time I got them home but I was wrong. They were still crispy and delicious. The consome was flavorful and the salsas were too!

Birria Tacos
Lily N.

I was craving for some birria tacos and I saw this place nearby and gave it a try! They open starting at 5pm! You can preorder through the phone before coming. The birria tacos with the soup is very tasteful! The regular tacos are a little dry in my opinion. The birria tacos plate, it comes with four tacos and the soup. If you're really hungry then 1 plate can fill you up, but if you're not I would suggest sharing it with someone. Very well seasoned and tasty!

Best birria tacos
Bert A.

My sister came from chicago and wanted some tacos. We came late before they close but the owner was very nice and even cleaned an area for us to eat. Best tacos in katy and probably the best birria in houston. We'll try the ramen next time

I've been hearing about the Birria Taco craze for some time, and have just been waiting for an opportunity to try it. I Yelp'd this location and decided to give it a try. The reviews were wonderful and the pictures really helped me to decide what I wanted to order. I ended up getting the #1 Birria Quesitaco with Consume. It came with 4 delicious tacos with all the fixin's. It smelled so good I barely made it home without taking a bite. It was fresh and delicious. The consume was so flavorful, I could have had it alone like soup. The only reason for the 4 stars is because they accept cash only. I had to leave and come back with cash.

What kind of meat is the birria taco?

Birria at this taco truck is beef. Birria is different from barbacoa in the cut of meat used and how it's made. Birria can also be made from lamb which is traditional in some parts of Mexico.

Do they take visa or is it cash only?

Cash only

What are the hours? They were closed on a Tuesday at 12pm

If you follow their Instagram they post their hours there. Typically open at 5pm and close when they sell out

I have been a customer of the Taco Fuego food truck in Katy for over a year and have always enjoyed…read morethe food and service. Unfortunately, my experience yesterday was so unacceptable that I will never return. When placing my order, the employee taking my order appeared intoxicated. His eyes were drooping and closing, he repeatedly paused, mumbled, and seemed to struggle entering my order. Although this was concerning, I chose to overlook it and waited patiently. After about 10 minutes, I simply returned to ask whether my order had been placed and if it was ready. I was not upset, in a hurry, or complaining. I only wanted confirmation that my order existed because the employee kept responding, "No orders, no orders," despite me showing him my receipt. Due to an apparent language barrier, I called my Hispanic husband and handed the employee my phone so he could ask the same simple question in Spanish. Instead of helping, the employee began yelling at my husband. Another employee joined in, and both started yelling while walking away with my phone. When the phone was returned, I still had no idea what had happened or whether my order was being prepared. The situation escalated for no reason. The employees began yelling at me, aggressively slammed the service windows shut, ignored me, and treated me as if I had done something wrong. I remained calm throughout the entire interaction and repeatedly stated that there was no problem--I simply wanted to know if my order had been placed. Eventually, the food was thrown together carelessly, shoved into a bag, and handed to me with obvious hostility. The food quality was terrible, and the customer service was even worse. What disappointed me most was that this entire situation was completely unnecessary. I was respectful, patient, and simply asking a basic question. The combination of an employee who appeared intoxicated, the aggressive and unprofessional behavior from both employees, and the poor quality of the food made this one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. I cannot recommend this location and will not be returning.

I think this was just a really bad day for all employees involved. I'll leave the below for…read moreveracity but want to include my previous stuff anyway. I've gotten the food here a few times over the last few years but the service my wife received today was ridiculous and unprofessional. Antonio was present and can vouch for what happened. My wife approached, looked at the menu, and called for my order. At that time the man in the truck pulled the tip jar in behind the window and then moved away from the window when my wife tried to order. Another person (antonio) had to take my wife's order. Bad enough. After she ordered and went to wait in the car a hispanic young man arrived, the same guy put the tip jar back out and took his order with no issue. We won't be back. We go out of our way to support food trucks and the birria ramen is good enough. The guys in the truck are even fighting, slamming items, and throwing things at each other in front of customers. This is at 3:20 PM on June 16th. One of the guys is/was bleeding and this is just a bad day all around. The food is good, the meat is always savory and juicy. Really depends on who you get cooking. Either way I don't appreciate how my wife was treated and I want to believe this was just a bad day. Things to consider. Good atmosphere and solid food truck experience.

The setup is a little unique. It's located in the back of another restaurant, and the official way to order and pick up is through the drive-through. I didn't know the rules yet and walked in, but honestly? Didn't matter. From the moment I stepped inside, I was treated like family. Super welcoming from start to finish, from ordering to walking out the door. The young ladies working there talked me into grabbing dessert, and they weren't overselling it because it was just as good as promised. When I picked up my food at the window, they even tossed in a fresh lemonade as a bonus... which was so good I didn't end up sharing it with my wife on the 25-minute drive home (sorry, babe ). I'm gluten-free, so I ordered mine without a bun and it was still fantastic. My wife said hers bun and all was just as delicious. Great food, great people, and an easy spot to add into the regular rotation. We'll definitely be back.

As one of the true gems of the Katy (#1), Medallo has become one of late night haunts when looking…read morefor a good meal and friendly faces. Specializing in Colombian comfort food, this truck reminds me of the late night Colombian joints that were open in the northern part of Queens (#2). The truck is perma-fixed in this space. They have a whole set of tables for large groups and includes a dedicated covered area. Parking can get tricky if there are enough people visiting, but I'd recommend the next lot over where there is no night time monitoring. The menu is incredibly simple and just know that prices are not listed (#3) . The choices are basically a beef / chicken / chorizo burger, along with the occasional hot dog and a number of smoothies and drinks. I think their beef burger (patty de res) and the chorizo (patty de chorizo) are the best I've had so far. It will cost at least $15 for the sandwich and fries are not included. It sounds expensive but at the very least the burger will come loaded. It'll be a messy, delicious encounter. Pair it with their maracuyá (passion fruit) juice and it'll be a wonderful meal. The man running the truck is one of the nicest owners I've met. He's patient, courteous, and takes the time to interact with everyone who comes through. I can't attest to their English skills, but I wouldn't hesitate for a second in recommending this place for some quality late night food. _________ (#1) Yes, the address says Houston. But let's get real, this is Katy. (#2) The most delicious borough. No big deal. (#3) I've seen this in Houston more than anywhere else. Why?
