    Birria taco
    Abigail R.

    Delicious tacos! Very good flavor fajitas and the sausage tacos! Cute little spot that just opened up. Clean, small but plenty of tables. Staff is nice and bilingual. They have agua frescas! Music is poppin. I felt like I was in a taco spot in Mexico.

    Asada burrito
    Ryen W.

    I recently tried Tacos Santos for some Tijuana-style tacos and let me just say... this was SO flavorful and authentic. I ordered the asada burrito con todo (cheese, beans, onions, cilantro, salsa, and guacamole. I got the guac on the side). The asada was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was balanced and packed with flavor. Nothing was dry or bland. I also got an asada taco con todo (salsa, onions, cilantro, guacamole (and of course I added cheese ). Simple ingredients, but when it's done right like this, you really don't need much else. The meat truly speaks for itself. What really stood out to me was that this tasted like true Tijuana-style flavor, not heavy Tex-Mex. You can absolutely taste the difference. Customer service was great. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made the ordering process smooth. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, which I always appreciate. It made the overall experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, well-seasoned tacos and burritos in a clean, welcoming environment, this is definitely a spot to check out. I'll absolutely be back.

    I'm giving Tacos Santos a solid 3 out of 5--not because it was bad, but because my expectations were a bit off. I went in expecting more traditional street-style tacos, and I have to remind myself that different regions of Mexico do things differently. No issue with that at all--just a mismatch of what I was craving at the time. I ordered the beef tacos, and they did come loaded with a lot of toppings. They were fairly good, just not what I personally wanted in that moment. The tacos were pretty heavy, and the corn tortillas ended up breaking, which made them a bit messy to eat. My husband ordered the carne asada quesadilla, and that was honestly the standout--huge, super flavorful, and definitely shareable. We also got plain fries, which were fine, but in hindsight, as a Yelper, I probably should've ordered one of their most popular or highly recommended dishes (like the carne asada fries, which I'm still curious about). The place was pretty busy when we went, which is always a good sign. Prices were a little on the higher side, but that's understandable with everything going up these days. We tried their lemonade--it was very sweet, but refreshing. The hot sauce was also good and added nice flavor. Now, the real highlight: the churros. Absolutely phenomenal. Freshly made, perfectly cooked, and not stuffed--just simple and delicious. Honestly, I'd go back just for the churros and the quesadilla alone. Overall, it was good for what it was. If we go back, I'll definitely try the carne asada fries next time and stick to what they really shine at.

    Vampiro de adobada

    What a cool find! Santos Tijuana style Tacos is packed with flavor and good vibes from the moment you walk up. So many delicious Mexican treats from the food to the refreshing aguas frescas and the service is fast, friendly, and on point. Today's favorites (and WOW): Vampiro de adobada: the layers of melted cheese, perfectly seasoned meat, and all the fixings were unreal Fajita taco: flavorful and satisfying Small consomé , yummmmyy Vampiro de chicken : another winner Agua de limón: super refreshing Everything tasted amazing, and the overall vibe made it even better. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. If you're craving authentic eats, don't sleep on this spot!

    Beef & chicken taco
    Natasha L.

    Recently found this taco shop (thanks to Yelp) and what caught my eye was the pictures of the food; the guac on top! I've seen so many people in NYC having tacos this was and was extremely excited to finally be able to try a taco like this in Houston. The beef taco was good, but the chicken taco stole the show. Extremely juicy. Pro tip: eat these tacos fast. They get soggy fast. The quasdullia was ok. A lot of fat. Customer service was also great and the place was clean!

    I had a full day to study after a final so I thought it was a good opportunity to try a place that was farther than normal. I drove all the way to spring to try Tacos Santos. They serve Tijuana style tacos. I tried both their asada (steak) and adobada (marinated pork) tacos. I got them "con todo," which includes onion, cilantro, and guacamole. It also comes with some radishes and cucumbers. They have a green and orange salsa. The green salsa has a tiny kick to it but it really isn't that spicy. The orange one is a lot spicier. The meat is well seasoned and I liked the guacamole, but I thought the meat could've been a little more tender. This is a nice alternative from the traditional street tacos though

    Ooh, as I'm sitting at a red light I look ever to my left and what do I see? A new Tijuana style taco shop. Detour. When you enter, the place is decorated in vibrant colors and is very clean. Alejandro Fernandez was blaring on the speakers...I thought, "this place has potential." I browsed the simple menu and elected to order a burrito and a taco. For my visit, it took a bit of time for the food to come out. Understandable when it's made fresh. The adobada taco came out first. It was literally overflowing - my fingers got filthy. Flavor wise, it was totally on point. The asada burrito took a few minutes longer but it didn't matter. After I took the first bite, I would have waited for however long it took. This thing was beyond delicious. The seasoning was perfect, the asada just meshed with everything else in the burrito. I usually like to sample the menu, but I may be locked in on the burrito during future visits. As Rose told Jack in Titanic, "I'll never let go." This place is seriously legit! Can't wait to come back!

    Amazing legit tacos! Service was quick, affordable, and absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back whenever I am in town. Plenty of parking in front of the restaurant.

    Quesabirrias Tacos

    Comes with 4 in the pack. Good price and some of the best consommé I've had. Came out fresh and hot and quick. Definitely recommend

    Andrea C.

    pretty good & fast service but i will say that the tortilla rips easily, and the fries tasted like any frozen fries you can get at the store. i liked the mushroom tacos but i wish it had flavoring to it because it tasted plain given that it's the only vegetarian option. also, would have enjoyed if there were rice and beans added as sides to the menu or in their burritos! overall good but there are better taco spots

    The ordering counter

    These Tacos are legit. The Asada is really flavorful and the tortillas are home made. The tacos are on the bigger side too. They're really generous with the meat. We also had a torta and it had cheese on it that was melted on the griddle. So good! It's nice having a good taco spot on this side of town. Go check them out!

    I visited here during happy hour one day. I'd previously visited one of their other locations…read moreseveral years ago since I heard they had really great cheese enchiladas. On this visit I just wanted a drink and a small bite though. Upon walking in, the restaurant was nearly full and bustling. I spotted some seats over at the bar area in the back right so I sat there. There are happy hour specials ending at 6pm weekdays but the bartender told me about the daily specials and how the Natalitas margarita was stronger than the happy hour one for about the same price, so I chose that one. I ordered the large for $10.25 which comes in an 18 oz large glass. After looking at the menu, I settled on one of my typical orders at happy hour, the small (8 in) beef fajita quesadilla. This comes out after about 10 mins and it has the typical sour cream and guacamole on the sides. There is plenty there to be placed on all 8 of the quesadillas. This is a pretty standard tasting quesadilla, nothing really stood out about it. Same goes for the margarita. Keep in mind this is a discounted drink and made with pre-mixed sweet and sour from a large plastic bucket at the back of the bar area using a house tequila and a house orange liquor. I couldn't read the labels on either bottle since they turned them backward during my entire visit. Not sure if they do this on purpose or not. Either way, there are better quality margarita options obviously, using fresh juice they store in their refrigerator and a margarita that is actually shaken. The discounted ones are so discounted, they actually just pour the ingredients into an ice filled glass and ask you to stir it yourself when they place it in front of you. Either way, it is a convenient location and the prices of their entrees are reasonable compared to some other Mexican restaurants around town. I don't think I saw any dish above 18.99. Mondays look to be a good day to come for their Patron margarita special for around $10.99.

The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.
