    Ordered the quesobirria tacos, based on the reviews its super flavorful, good, etc. The to go service is quick glad i ordered on the phone bcs it was super packed, my order was fresh & hot. Staff was nice! When i ate the tacos they are okish, they are missing quite a lot of flavor, the meat tastes like nothing and the consome really doesn't do it much justice. When i ate 2 to confirm the flavor it felt like i ate a tasteless taco tbh. It has potential to be great, i believe they don't season the meat and rely on the consome for the flavor but even that lacks. Idk if maybe it was my tacos or what but i enjoy tasting my food, this didn't really taste like much at all..

    When I say this place is packed, this place is PACKED. My friends and I went for lunch and literally every table was filled and the line was long. After a few seconds, I turned around and saw even more people lined up after us. Line was never ending. So when you come, do expect some wait time due to the amount of orders. I only got one taco because I wasn't too hungry and I enjoyed it. They didn't skimp on the filling either. It was flavorful and had a kick to it-- right amount of spice for me. My friends all got something different and they all liked what they ordered. I'll definitely come back to try the other tacos and quesadillas.

    I've been here about 20+ times by now and it is very CONSISTENT, fresh, flavorful, never disappoints. My top 3 GoTo: 1. Tacos Asada (let me tell you about the asada, tender and flavorful, you can tell they have better quality meat vs other spots around the H) 2. Torta Asada (underrated IMO, cheese grilled to the bread, topped with guac onions cilantro salsa, the kids love this) 3. Chicken Quesadilla (regular order is very big, comes with side of guac, the kids love this) Green sauce is a great addition, not too spicy but good overall flavor. Other table sauces good too. They bring fresh chicharrones to the table! Friendly staff that makes sure your order is right. Lines can be long during peak hours.

    I came to Taco Frontera with high expectations because of all the hype on social media. The long line when we arrived made it seem promising. However, the food didn't quite live up to it. The meat in the tacos was a bit dry, and overall the flavors felt underwhelming. We tried four tacos and a burrito, and while everything was decent, nothing really stood out. At this price point--much higher than typical street tacos--I was hoping for something more memorable. I've honestly had better tacos from local street vendors. It's not bad, just not something I'd go out of my way to return for.

    As a hispanic, I always say if I want Mexican food, I will cook it at home. But THIS place is delicious!!! From the guac, chicharron and the meat in the tacos or tortas. Everything we had here was great!

    All I'll say is YUM

    This place is amazingly yummy the chicken was so tender. Got the quesadilla pollo. And man LOVED IT 10 out of 10. Hubby got the vampiro asada, really great tasting too, meat was tender, shell had a great crunch. Definitely recommend this place

    This place has been on my list for the longest time and finally had the opportunity to try it yesterday! A big group of us came after a soccer tournament on a Saturday. I opted for tacos, I got a variety- chorizo & asada. They come with onions, cilantro, and guacamole on it. They have a variety of sauces which I use the green sauce. was very flavorful and not super spicy. The flavors of the tacos were soooo good & the toppings are fresh. I also tried some elote which was definitely one of my favorite elotes I've had in a while. Me and my friend tried a michelada with modelo. It wasn't my favorite michelada but it was refreshing at least. Overall very much enjoyed my experience here. The food didn't take long to come out and they bring it out to you on the patio.

    Mulita with asada

    I've passed this place countless times and assumed it was mediocre Mexican food since it is in a prime location. A coworker recommended it, so we decided to give it a shot and were very impressed. At 5 pm on a Saturday, the line was extensive, and the wait for food after ordering is 15-20 minutes. When we stepped inside, we were immediately reminded of Tacos Numero 1 in NYC--come to find out, the owner of Tacos Frontera is brothers with the owner in NYC! Very good news, indeed. I tried a mulita with asada, which was kind of like a corn tortilla sandwich. The cheese was melty and caramelized, the beef had a delicious smokiness, and the portion was substantial. My boyfriend tried the torta with chicken and couldn't even finish it. He loved it! We also ordered a nopal taco (thinking the mulita wouldn't be enough for)--it was good, but definitely not the best item. The Jamaica was fresh and perfectly sweetened. Tell your loved ones to come here--they won't be disappointed!

    I have written before about this thing that I called the Houston Culinary Honeymoon. Where a new restaurant opens and the line is around the corner for the first few months and then suddenly it is empty. This place doesn't need to worry about that. It is great. I had been hearing about this place for several months now and that the crowds to eat here were crazy. With the opening of their second location right along. Katy Freeway, I knew it was time to get it a try. I got here right when they opened. Such an impressive menu with so many choices. I opted for guacamole, esquites and a Vampiro. ALL DELICIOUS. This is the real deal. I immediately thought of a favorite place in Mexico City called Maizajo. Normally, I would complain about loud music in a place but today, with the conjuntos blasting away at full volume, it put a big smile on my face, and in a few minutes, I was no longer in Houston, but somewhere along the border. And all of these wonderful memories of trips to. Nuevo Laredo in my college years started coming back. They have a big crew in the kitchen and based on my experience today, they're turning out really good things, and I am already looking forward to my next visit here, along with visiting their original location on Highway 6.

    Went ~2pm on a Saturday and it was absolutely packed. No space inside, but the weather was nice and there was seating outside. They were super quick and efficient, but most importantly, the tacos were delicious. Easily some of the best and most authentic Tijuana style tacos you'll find. Already looking forward to the next time I go. 2 Asada Tacos - $7.80 2 Pollo Tacos - $7.80 Guacamole w/ Chips - $4.95 Mexican Bottle Soda - $3.90 Quesabirria w/ Consome (4 tacos) - $13.95

    The Mexican scene in that Katy area and growing steadily over last few years, and places like Tacos Frontera gave the scene a jolt by showcasing frontera cuisine, which shockingly hasn't found much of a presence in a Mexican heavy place like Houston. As a result, Tacos Frontera has become a bonafide destination and met with no shortage of hype. And the craziest part? It's probably deserving of it. The weekend (Sunday) ambiance is absolutely fire. It's hard not to be charmed by the energetic ambiance, the smiling staff, families left and right enjoying their meals, and the blasting of norteño music left and right. The chaos is a reflection of their popularity and the vibe is downright contagious. I love that they randomly provide free chicharron out to folks, whether they're waiting for takeout or guests who are already sitting. It reminds me I will let barbecue joints would give out beer the people waiting in line. Absolutely brilliant. The prices are most definitely on the higher end. Tacos are in the 3-4 range and the markup for other items is across the board. Bring cash because there is a $3 surcharge for credit cards. For me, it all starts with their adobada. The earthy, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors are excellent. A lot of people may confuse it with anothér marinated meat in al pastor, but while visually similar, the preparation methods are different. Currently they are one of the only places to offer it. The taco smell is wonderful. The aromas is what I expect in a proper taqueria.

    I recommend this taco spot to anyone traveling to or through Katy. The tacos are sooo good !! & The service was so quick & the staff was also so friendly. Tacos frontera are authentic Mexican tacos & they have so much to chose from. We got the asada tacos but will go back to try more.

    Burrito

    The food here is fantastic! You can tell the tortillas are made from scratch--it completely elevates the flavor of the tacos. The meat is perfectly seasoned, and the fresh avocado is the perfect finishing touch. I also highly recommend the burrito; it's delicious, massive, and they definitely don't skimp on the fillings. Even with a line to order, the service was efficient and moved quickly, and the staff was very friendly. We also appreciated the variety of great hot sauces. Since we live quite a distance away, we made sure to grab a few extra items to go so we could enjoy them later. This place is definitely worth the trip!

We're…read morefrom San Diego, so we know good carne asada and Tacos Frontera is where it's at in Houston! Definitely a taste of home outside of San Diego and Tijuana. Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well. Service was fast and friendly. Tacos and burritos were hefty and full of flavor. Ample parking. So glad that my family from San Diego (who I know get real Mexican taco shop cravings) can get a taste of home right in their Houston backyard!

Limited indoor seating, and since it gets busy we usually order to go. When I did dine in it was nice experience, feels authentic like eating a local spot in Mexico. You have the Mexican cokes available, the style of tacos has a big scoop of guac which makes them a bit unique compared to other spots that charge extra for guac. Their tacos are big too! Not the mini small taco tortillas you get in a food truck. These are big tacos so getting 2 is enough for me. I've tried their Asado tacos and their quesadillas and their quesabirrias all 10/10.

    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'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.

I can see people ordering at least 5 tacos at a time lol. I had the fajita/chicken mix plate and it certainly hit the spot. They are open until 2AM on Saturdays so I can see how this place would be popping. It's got great vibes with outdoor picnic tables and heaters as well as a covered seating area. I'm glad we decided to come here and enjoy some street tacos, food truck eats are nothing to play with.
