To start this place is only open in the evenings, but it stays open late till at least 2am (later on weekends), which is great after a night out in Houston. It is located in the parking lot of a strip shopping center so I have yet to have an issue finding parking. The menu is pretty simple and clear and you can also order ahead by calling if you like. One thing I love is that the owner typically offers complimentary soup and sometimes even bottled water! He is always very welcoming and courteous to his customers. I've had both their beef tacos and quesadillas and have enjoyed them! I also have never had any "bathroom issues" afterwards too which is noteworthy especially when it comes to food trucks. The only drawback I've found with here is that it's cash only and I typically don't carry much cash with me. However because his prices are reasonable, I've always had just enough cash on me to order all I want. Nevertheless, I would just advise always making sure you have enough cash before coming here. While Ricky's in San Antonio still holds my number one overall taco food truck spot, this place is undoubtedly my number 2! I highly recommend for your late night food cravings!

This listing might be for La Unica #3, but after several visits and phone calls to confirm…read moreeverything and have deduced this truck was formally #3, but is now #6. The staff has already noted this with me, but seeing as it should all be in the same umbrella, this is about as accurate as I'll get. Located in a nondescript parking lot in Alief, this taco truck is situated next to sister truck (#1) and is the destination for many locals in the know in the wee hours of the night. The protocol here is to order (quickly) at the truck window and then wait in the car while their team handles the order. The menu is extremely reminiscent of so many Houston $1 taqueria trucks, which have the usual smaller, two-biter taquitos but a myriad of other items that include "cryspy tacos" (#2), gringas, piratas, and somewhat obscure items like Tony's burger, gypsy burritos, zuzu tacos, luvacy burritos, and "michelle burguer." (#3) Side note: I do not recommend their Colombian hot dog. The meats here range from the typical fajita, pollo, and pastor along with chorizo, campechano, barbacoa, tripa, and chicharron. For non-taco fans, there are also sopes, quesadillas, burritos, tortas, tostadas, gorditas, and even huaraches available. The tacos are surely their top seller and the corn tortillas are the way to go. In terms of seasoning, the fajita is on point. I appreciate the fatty texture of the chicharron and the greasy goodness of the barbacoa. The salsa is strictly self serve on the counter and the charro beans are a nice touch. The usual outdoor taqueria rules also apply here: speak Spanish, have cash, and eat the food while it's fresh. This is a no frills business and certainly one that I anticipate that I'll be back more often than not. __________ (#1) Refrescaria #4, a juice truck. (#2) Presumably, dorados. (#3) Dead serious: Can someone explain why this is a thing at Houston taco trucks? While you're at it, tell me why asada / bistec / cecina / carne is also known as "fajita" in these parts.

I would probably go with five tacos next time. No tables, you either stand and eat your food, take it home or sit in your vehicle. The cars parked drive-in style. There are always people here which should tell you something we went at 11 PM and there were probably 8 to 10 vehicles there. It took approximately 15 minutes to get our food. There are other food trucks there that sell desserts, mangonadas smoothies, banana splits, etc.. You can count on them always being open. I did give it four stars because the ambience is so so . Don't go alone. Lol

Southern California has arguably the best Mexican food in the United States and having experienced…read morethe joys of streetside taquerias in LA, I was elated to learn about Street Tacos Migue which has been operating near Bellaire Chinatown for the past few years. The experiences have been mixed, but I am holding out the hope for future potential. The setup couldn't be more ideal: visibility from the busy streets, plenty of free parking due to being in a lot, and a display of food with a proper pastor trompo and stewed meats, aguas frescas, along with a line of people. The eye test alone would fall in favor with my biggest desires of a taco scene minus the absence of any kind of seating. As far as I can tell, the following meats are offered: trompo, tripa, suadero, longaniza, pollo, asada. The fact they don't mention "fajita" is clearly a nod to how LA they are. (#1) Tacos are the most popular item but the meats are also available in quesadilla, torta, and burrito form. The process is an assembly line of sorts, where one orders, pays, receives, and then manually add all the condiments. I love their tubs of pickled onions, limes, cucumber slices, and a plethora of excellent salsas. Food wise, the suadero and trompo have been the most consistent. The former has a hint of lard but a crispy and juicy finish. The longaniza, asada, and pollo have been solid, but there have been some moments of dryness where even the salsa couldn't save it. One thing that isn't similar to LA is the price, which has been conveniently removed from the signage as of last year. This is an issue with many streetside taquerias in Houston frankly, which is disappointing for the lack of transparency. Last I recall, each taco was about $3. The other issue is the wait -- which depending on one's order can definitely take a while. I appreciate the need for replenishing and making things to order, but aguas frescas and sometimes tortas are tougher orders to fulfill quickly. This is not a place I'd recommend visiting if one is in a hurry. They operate only on the weekends (Fri-Sun) between 8PM and 1AM, on the Bellaire Blvd (& Gessner) side in front of the Jefferson Dental Clinic. (#2) I do think there is a lot of potential here, and I hope they manage to get some of those issues corrected soon. ___________ (#1) Please, can someone explain to my why taco trucks in Houston call asada, "fajita?"

These tacos are very fresh and they basically are cooking the meat in front of you. I think they need more flavor, salt, seasoning, or something. The salsa lacks flavor - green salsa was mild, and red salsas were hot! Pina agua fresca was good, be ready to wait about 30-45 minutes so be ready!

My experiences here have been hit *and* miss, where the food works in a pinch or one needs to be pinched in order to eat the food. (#2) Etched along the outside of the cart: "Serving the Best Street Food in Space City." As much as I admire the confidence, the food falls very short of anything near the best. The limited meat options (fajita, pastor, chicken, chorizo, etc.) are quickly made up by the rest of the menu, which is extensive beyond the usual taco truck offerings. This includes multiple burger selections (la mamalona, la Hawaiiana, etc.) and even a taco pizza (multiple meats and birria is available) that is a premium $19-22. Their (flour) tacos are in the $3+ range, but the fajita is super sus. On their best days, it's a well seasoned pile of beef crumbs, but on their worst days the stuff is bland, dry, and frankly hard to stomach. I've had considerably better luck with their campechana and quesa birria ($13.50), which literally a quesadilla with birria meat and consomme. On some weekend late nights, the gas station is usually full of young Houstonians turning the place into some after-party scene. It's so wild that cars will find themselves parked on the side of the highway just to come in. There are even cars parked at the gas pump and finding their way inside the convenience store (#3). A much more relaxing time is during lunch time on the weekdays, but the service sometimes takes a nose dive. That said, English should be quite prominent here, but Spanish is always preferred. While they do accept credit cards, there is a 4% fee tacked onto the bill. There's also a 4.84% discount for cash only payments, which is a nice plus. They're open till 3AM every night. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/now-and-forever-59-houston-4 (#2) Read: like really bad. (#3) What's happening in there?

And like other Tacos Lagunas, they're open late every night. Located inside of the parking lot of Now and Forever Bissonnet (#2), it is the best situation for the late night crowd. Go get a drink inside Now & Forever, use the restroom, and then get a savory, piping hot taquito from the food truck. Famous for their combination tacos (lubary, tony, burrito toro), it's oddish menu likely signifies the truck isn't really all that Mexican. (#3) Their regular tiny tacos are the standard $1 each, with premium meats such as barbacoa, lengua, etc. that will sell for $2.50. Cash only. Their fiery salsa verde has excellent heat. It's the ideal complement for anything they serve. I have found success in their fatty barbacoa, solid campechano, and decent fajita. I would say no to their chicharron, which reminds me of the Guatemalan taco trucks with the charred meats, and the al pastor has a little too much food color dye. Apart from the tacos, everything is a crapshoot. The tortas, machetes, and gorditas don't seem to be particularly memorable. I am not sure what to make of their burgers, elotes, and papas locas, but I think it's safe to stick to just tacos for the sake of simplicity and wallet relief. ___________ (#1) aka taquitos.
