Tacos El Ranchero - Head of lettuce & unmelted cheese. - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was the WORST service I've ever gotten!!! First they made the tacos wrong, called them to communicate the food was missing the onions and cilantros per order which the girl said to return and they'll make new ones. Went back and all she gave was the onions and cilantros! She started talking Spanish and walked away from the window while I was talking. I ate only 1 of the 3 tacos given which gave me food poisoning! I was in the bathroom within 30min of eating it until the next day. DO NOT advise going there!! read more

Yummy food and very cheap!! The aguas frescas son delicios. Staff was mean but you KNOW if they mean then the food good as hell!!! Come eat here fr read more

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 ): read more

Tacos El Ranchero - Fajita torta - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

THE BEST!!!!! When I'm in that area, It's a must! Que rico estan!!! Good service and so much to choose from read more

Their food truck isn't very visible to traffic, so it took me a while to find this little gem. Food is amazing. The quality is just great, their gorditas are simply the best. A star less because I bought an agua de tamarindo and took a big sip of the powder at the bottom of the cup and it wasn't very pleasant. Other than that, when it comes to food you won't regret it. Huge bummer, their business hours are kind of weird they don't seem to be there some days and close way too early :( read more

Food tasted great! My hubby and I loved it buttttttt his gordita was torn up when he got it. Sauce was nice and spicy.

LOVE THEIR TACOS! Also great service! Super nice owners! Get the beef tacos! It's authentic and spicy if you know what good tacos are. read more

So, my cousin directed me to this little hidden gem in the 'hood. I was hangry & work near the area. She gave them a call (yes you can order to go to avoid the lines ;D ) She ordered 3 chicken tacos on corn tortillas with lettuce and tomato and a lemonade for herself. I ordered 2 fajita tacos on flour tortillas with onion and cilantro & a "agua de tamarindo" for myself. I'm not sure how to translate the drink but it is a delicious tangy yet sweet natural drink, a staple in the Hispanic culture. gotta try it! The tacos were GREAT!!! The meat was just a bit crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, & their green salsa is delicious!!! It is a bit on the extra spicy side, so beware. Nothing a little runny nose can't handle. My "tamarindo" water was freaking AMAZING! I hadn't had one in years and had forgotten how good this stuff is. Overall 4 stars for their food and drinks. As good as can get from a taco truck. But I gave them 5 stars for their friendly service. Everyone here is really nice, and I have come back at least 2 more times after my first experience. Try them! read more

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! read more

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. read more

The food was bad... Wouldn't recommend to anyone. I got a fajita taco, barbacoa taco, and fajita quesadilla. Each one was flavorless and soggy. I only live 2 mins away when I got home and like I said they were soggy and flavorless very disappointed. Was hoping the salsa could save my meal but again disappointed and FLAVORLESS. Didn't even make it spicy at all. I tried all three they gave me and each one was boring. Couldn't even finish my food. If this was the first taco I have ever had, I would never ever want tacos again. Dispite taco Bell not having real tacos, I would go there first any day before ever going here again. I honestly don't know how or why this place has good reviews read more

It is amazing! Delicious and fast! Aguas frescas are so good. The torta bread they use reminds me of Mexico!

I wouldn't eat at this food truck, they don't follow instructions well. I asked for a chicken burrito and got beef or pork which I haven't ate in several years. The meat smelt spoil and when I asked for my money back, they gave me an attitude and wanted to remake the burrito. I didn't have time to wait again. I never seen a business not wanting to give back $6.50 in cash. read more

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

I wish I heard of this place sooner. The food is incredible! I had a chorizo, papa con huevo with beans and avocado on a flour tortilla. It felt like I was eating a taco my grandma made me, it was authentic and very delicious. I also had the fajita which was amazing. The aqua de melon was a cherry on top. I can't wait to go again! Oh and they accept card too :) read more

I tried their tacos for the first time at a Cinco De Mayo fun run I completed (1 beef/1 chicken). It was delicious! The meat, cilantro, onions, tortilla all tasted so fresh. And to top it off the guy at the counter had GREAT customer service. There was a long line of hungry runners but it only took 5 minutes (maybe less) for the food to come out. Will definitely go back! read more
