    Asada taco
    Misha M.

    I hate to share a fave but after coming to this place consistently for the past...2 years, they are just that. Consistent. The food, the staff, the pleasant and cleanliness. Shout out to Eric the owner, Jesus the manager, Gio at the front counter, the staff cooking the food and making the tortillas. I come here almost 1x a week and no complaints. The line is steady and out the door all the time and that is because the food is good and worth it every time. Thank you.

    My new favorite taco place!! I came with my friend this past saturday and it was so crowded! We were able to order and find a spot to sit pretty fast. Since it was my first time here, I ended up ordering 1 chorizo and 1 asada taco, churros, limon aguas, and my friend got the asada taco as well and a hortchata! Since it was super busy (especially on saturday night) it was about a 30 minute wait foe our food but it was well worth it! They hand out free chicharrones and they were super crunchy and a nice snack while we waited for our food. The limon aguas was super refreshing especially in the summer heat and the horchata was really good! We sat at the counter top that overlooks the kitchen. I love that the open kitchen concept so you can see them making your food right in front of you! Everything smelled so good so I was excited for my food. I love that they give radishes, cucumbers, and plenty of limes on the side. I definitely love all of the toppings and the more the better! I tried all of the salsas and the salsa de chile de arbol was by far my favorite! super spicy but had so much flavor. The chorizo was good but a little dry for my liking. I did just want to try it so I can try more than one flavor but I think I would get it again as a breakfast taco with egg instead. The asada was my favorite of the two so much flavor and plenty of meat! I was content with these 2 tacos but I could have definitely eaten more if we didn't order churros as well! The churros came with classic condensed milk and dulce de leche which is just carmelized condensed milk. The churros were crunchy and warm on the outside and had a chewy texture like mochi on the inside! Super yummy and not too sweet! I liked both sauces and would definitely get this again. Overall, I had a great experience and I will be craving the tacos until the next time I can come back! I can't wait to try a lot of their other menu items as well. Definitely recommend!

    The place is clean, love the atmosphere and vibes. I Tried the tacos and fries and elote. So good! The lemonade was fresh and tasted natural. I'd definitely come back. The taste is very authentic Mexican food.

    We usually go to Tacos Frontero off I-10, but decided to stop at this location instead. Their tacos are always really good, which is why this experience was so disappointing. We waited 20 minutes for our food while other customers who ordered after us were getting served first. Once we finally said something, they brought our order out but it was cold. We ate and left, but definitely won't be coming back to this location. We'll stick to their other spot that we know and enjoy. Love their tacos, just really disappointed with today's experience.

    I wanted to try it, I got a carne asada torta, id say its shareable between 2 people. It bigger then then average taco truck. They have a selection of salsas, I liked the salsa Verde, it was actually spicy. I love spicy salsa.

    Beef torta
    Susan H.

    Torta was good. It was loaded with beef. I wish the bread would hold a little better. It was delicious. Service was good. Enjoyed the complimentary pork rinds.

    The tacos were so good! I would definitely recommend this place!!! :) Driving by this past Saturday night and decided to stop here to check it out. The line was out the door and the place was full. However, we placed our order fairly quickly. The wait for food was announced to be about 25 minutes but they got it out in much less than that! The asada and adobada tacos were amazing! The Jamaica agua fresca was good too!

    Chicken Burrito
    Calondra B.

    Enjoyed to go dinner from this location in the HEB Hwy 6 shopping strip for the first time. The business is always busy. Family indulged in delicious large portioned and filled to the brim chicken burritos and chicken quesadilla with small condiment sauces with reasonable prices. I waited in the car while my party placed the order and shared the friendly staff was offered pork skin samples during the wait.

    Quesabirria Tacos

    I came here with my friend who is from Tijuana. He has been talking about this place for ages! We had the quesabirria tacos, asada tacos and an order of chips and guacamole. Let me start off by saying I don't even like guacamole and I loved it here! Everything was so delicious and made so fresh. The place was so crowded with a line out the door. They had someone come up and let us know it would be about 25-35 minutes after we ordered for our food to be ready. The line moved quickly and the food came out faster than anticipated. It was obviously worth the wait and they also brought around free chicharrones to our table for us to snack on! Everyone on the staff was so nice and you could tell everyone there was excited to eat :) Can't wait to go back for ALL the quesabirria and guac!

    Drove an hour and a half round trip to try this place--and let me tell you, it was so worth it. I'd make the drive again in a heartbeat for these tacos. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. There was a line of people out the door, which honestly reassured me that this spot was legit. Despite the dinner rush, the line moved quickly, and tables were turning over efficiently. The staff clearly had their system down--taking orders, clearing tables, and keeping everything flowing without missing a beat. The place was packed, but it didn't feel chaotic--just lively and well-run. Now for the food--absolutely phenomenal. I tried the asada tacos, adobada tacos, a side of charro beans with asada and cheese, churros, and chicharrones. Not a single miss. The tacos were filled to the brim with meat--generous portions that truly give you bang for your buck. The charro beans with asada and cheese had me skeptical at first, but wow--flavorful, hearty, and delicious. The complimentary chicharrones were a nice touch to snack on while waiting for our food. And the churros? Light, fluffy, fresh out of the fryer, and perfectly dusted with cinnamon. The perfect end to a perfect meal. By the end of the night, the plates were wiped clean and everyone left full and happy. If you're looking for a taco spot that delivers on flavor, portions, and overall experience--Tacos Frontera is it.

    I love Tijuana-style tacos! I adore Mexican food I love this style--*vampiritos de asada* are my favorites! The service was quick and nicely. The place is decorated in a colorful, urban style.

    Best torta I've ever had, the salsa verde is really good, Mexican coke, perfect meal.

    A Tijuana-Style Taco Gem in Houston Let me put y'all on real quick! Tacos Frontera has hands down the best Tijuana-style tacos I've had in Houston so far. No debate. It's always busy (which says a lot), but so worth the wait every single time. My go-to? The chicken tacos LOADED with guacamole -- juicy, flavorful, and layered with that street-style realness. And their horchata? BABY. It's creamy, perfectly spiced, and lowkey addictive. Yes, it's small inside and yes, it's fast-paced, but that's part of the charm. Feels like a little slice of Tijuana right here in the city. And luckily for me, it's close enough to swing by on a weekday when the crowds aren't as wild. If you know, you know. And if you don't -- now you do. Run, don't walk.

The tacos were packed with flavor, everything tasted fresh, and the drinks were . Such a fun atmosphere too. I'm already thinking about what I'm ordering when I come back

    The service was awful at this restaurant. I came from out of town from Phoenix, Arizona. I went to…read morethis restaurant alone by myself. I only ordered drinks. I think I ordered mozzarella sticks, but really only drinks. I was discriminated against by the general manager whoever the manager is there, I'm a black female. I was alone. I was by myself. This manager picked up the phone to call the cops on me because of his mistake. I ordered two drinks instead of three and I disputed that and he ended up telling me to get out of his restaurant and he picked up the phone to call the police keep in mind. I'm a single female I'm by myself I don't know anything about Texas nothing and I'm talking to a real human but it was very inhumane. I will put the address down. I think they only have two locations. I will put the address down here. I will also get on my TikTok and my Facebook where I have a large following and I will tell everyone I know about this place. It's tucked off in Houston Texas somewhere I'm here for work. I decide to go to a friendly bar, which I thought it was I went there and dined there I paid for my food I tipped and then on my way home. I was like that was a cool place. Let me go back so I went back to order the same drink that I ordered, but then insert the manager his name is Michael I think but I'm gonna put the address here and the phone number please don't patronize these people until you know that they've done right by other people. I didn't even get a chance to taste the food before they were trying to call the police on me. I'm 115 pound 5 foot black girl I was by myself and then he turned the customers against me because one customer was like, yeah get the fuck out like he said. I will continue to post this until I've heard back from this place from a general manager or somebody other than the manager of the restaurant. I will continue to post this. It's not right. It was a Hispanic male. The manager you chose to represent your brand but could not represent it. I try to support local businesses but this type of service is uncalled for. I am at a conference and let all the patrons that were about to meet me there what happened. Management please do better. I called you guys, no answer and the run around about the manager's name at this location. Very rude and called the cops!! Please save your money. It's so many restaurants around don't go here unless they change the management. I still would be sus tho. They are tucked in the back so word of mouth is really all they got. As a GM of an establishment myself, this was totally uncalled for. An $8 that I would have gladly payed for because I had just come in there hours before with no issues. I paid and tipped well and was thinking this place is nice let me go back and was in for an awful treat. I don't want anybody no matter who they are experiencing what I experienced last night on September 27th 2026 9pm on or about. I am an influencer we come to different places so we can have good food and post positive things about them, but I can't say the same for this restaurant no matter what your orientation is this place will discriminate against you. I went the night before to show my team around because the restaurant was highly recommended. 1805 W 18th St Houston, TX 77008 United States The manger on duty at 9pm Pimlico Pub HEI took unauthorized amount on my credit card. Please, if you don't wanna be deceived when you place your credit card and these people's hands, please don't go to this establishment

    CASH ONLY!! Best…read moreTacos in Houston. Taconazo is the pride and staple of Northside. Always a long line but it so worth it. Barbacoa and pastor is easily the best I've ever had. Horchata is not too shabby either. Doesn't taste grainy. Speedy service. Reasonable price. Keep in mind the "Platos/ Plato Regular, etc." are plates of carne. Ideal for taking home.

    Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.
