    Fajita torta

    So many people recommend this place and last two times I tried the tacos and hated them. Meat was so dry. Gave it yet another try today and this is the dryest torta ever. The bread is so hard, there's of course barely anything!!!!!! I do not recommend this place ):

    I tried three tacos (see photo), and they were perfect little Mexican no frills tacos on double corn tortillas with cilantro and onion. Simple, cheap and delicious!

    This place is super close to my house. The service is pretty quick! They have workers here that speak very good English. They also take call in orders! The meat they serve is well seasoned. Their tacos are $1.50 and on taco Tuesday between the hours of 4-5 tacos are $1.00! Also, if you check in you get a choice of a corn taco for free. Enjoy!

    Pretty legit

    I think I found my new taco truck spot! customer service was great! one thing that I was super Happy about was that they take debit/credit card as form of payment. I hardly ever carry cash with me so not having to go to an ATM to get cash out every time Im craving tacos is a big deal to me :). with my meal I ordered a large agua de tamarindo, I MUST say their aguas frescas are legit. They are all natural, not that powder kind. I would give them a 5 but this being my 1st time visiting this place I think 4 stars is the best for now. It's literally work down the street from my job so I will continue coming here for lunch and update my review at a later time.

    I ordered the beef burrito, it was very good. Only problem is the wait time. Other than that, I like this taco truck.

    Visited Tacos Tierra Caliente while in Houston. Timing is funny sometimes. I had just been chatting…read morewith Gretel about breakfast tacos the day we landed in Houston -- and breakfast tacos are one of my favourite things about visiting Texas. We pulled up to this food truck and, while placing our order, I instantly had the feeling that this crew knew exactly what they were doing. That impression proved to be spot on as soon as I took my first bite. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and packed with the kind of simple, honest ingredients that make great breakfast tacos so satisfying. No gimmicks, no unnecessary fuss -- just well-executed food that delivers exactly what you're hoping for. The service was efficient, the operation ran smoothly, and it was easy to see why there was a steady stream of customers. Overall, an excellent breakfast taco stop and exactly the kind of local experience I look for when I'm in Houston. Saluti.

    If you like the quesadillas at Taconazo, you'll like them here. My buddy took me here after a…read moreRockets game. We wanted Taconazo, but we didn't have any cash on us. Luckily, this spot takes both card and cash! I got the small beef quesadilla, and it was loaded with cheese. The small quesadilla was $5.50, and it was pretty decently sized for a small. They have salsa set out at the counter, so you can pack as much as you like. The red salsa was smoky and SPICY. Very tasty if you like spice I see a lot of great reviews about this place. I would like to try their other tacos and give a more detailed review. I will be back! but for sure the quesadilla was a hit for me

    Came here because my BF wanted to show me what his late nights at Rice were like after a few beers…read more I was tempted to order more than just the hot dog, but we had a heavy lunch. I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals
