Taqueria Abasolo - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This should have more than 43 reviews. Living in Houston, you have the privilege just walking to any restaurant in northside or Houston for that matter and you get lucky to be served some amazing authentic food. This is one of those places that Anthony Bourdain would've loved. I mean my God how do you make food this good? The daughter of the owner was so nice. She told me their family was from San Luis Potosi. Food: their posole was made fresh and it was simply amazing. It has a very different flavor that I've never tried before. It was simply the best person that I've ever had. I can't put my finger on it, but it's some sort of different style or different ingredients because it's different from any other person that I've ever had but it's one of my favorites. The chips and salsa with three different sauces were simply amazing. Oh my God like how does food get this good. The breakfast taco with potato and bacon was great. You can tell they have homemade tortillas here. Customer service was great. Everyone that works. Here is very nice and very personable. This is an easy five star review. I cannot wait to come back and try more things off their menu. If you follow me and follow my reviews, I'm telling you, you need to come by and try this place and give them a review. I honestly cannot believe they only have 43 reviews. They should have 500. read more

Wow, what a unique experience this was. My friends and I went on a walk and the rain was so bad that we decided to take shelter at this restaurant. We were the only guests. In fact, there were more staff/family than us. Super cozy. Our waitress only spoke Spanish which was no issue for us (only clarification I needed was when I ordered my carne asada because it sounded like carne guisada). Food was incredible. I got two meals out of it for sure! I ended up only paying $15.99 for my plate. My friends loved their food and one of them ordered a lemonade and it was so concentrated that she was able to stretch it with water for a long time. My unsweet tea was delicious and they had only sweet n low which is my favorite. All the saccharine! We paid at the front and I don't think you can split checks. That's alright! Please go support this business!! read more

I had a pleasant first visit today. Great ambiance, great food, and great service. I plan on being a regular. read more

They have--by far--the best corn tortillas in Houston. Small, cozy place, with lots of character. If you're hitting the Taco Trail, this is a mandatory stop. Dont miss it! read more

Great place!! Love the atmosphere. Very chill and home like. The food is awesome!!! The mini tacos my friend had We're so delicious. I had the Molcajete. It came on a steaming molcajete bowl that consisted of their own original molcajete sauce, with beef fajitas, and chicken fajitas. It was very good!! And the home made tortillas were really good. read more

We stopped by and it was not good. Had 2 tacos and over easy eggs. We did stopped by around noonish the tortillas looked handmade but cold. I still probably wouldn't go back. Beans not fresh, salsa is water down. I apologize but there is better spots out there. read more

So I was definitely expecting a lot better than what I got. I was on yelp browsing Mexican restaurants/taquerias and stumbled onto this place. Overall, it was super average and I don't see myself driving out this was again for this. Service: Service was good, the server was nice and helpful. Her checking in was slow and we didn't see her that often after we ordered. Food: The food was average. My husband enjoyed his enchiladas, but I did not really enjoy my carne asada. The meat tasted cheap and very fatty. Also, the rice and beans were very cheap or poorly made. The chips and salsa were ok, but the chips were almost stale. Price for what you receive: 2 stars in this category. For the price I expected much better, but unfortunately did not meet my expectations. read more

I've been back several times since the first time and brought my fiancé, my dad, my other brother and my mom, they all loved it and agreed the food is great. Their salsas never disappoint and the Gorditas are still on top of my list. I've discovered their agua de Horchata is delicious and is one of top places to eat on the weekend. read more

I ordered pozole and it had a sour taste to it like they left it over night and just reheated it. chicken not cooked all the way.. ordered chicken nuggets for my daughter and they were gamy.. rice had the taste like they reheated it in the microwave!!!! i asked our server what soups she recommended and her words " mmmm como te puedo decir" not even there servers know whats "good" on the menu.... Do Not Recommend!!!!!!! read more

My favorite taco place in the neighborhood. Definitely stop by. Their daily specials are great and breakfast is good, but the burrito and fajita tacos are always on point and delicious. read more

One of the best hole-in-the-wall places I've ever been. Don't judge this place by its appearance because it will definitely fool you. The food came out very quickly and the service was incredibly friendly. If you want to eat local and eat delicious Mexican food, this is the place for you. My fajita chicken tacos were the best I've ever had and my girlfriends enchiladas were cooked perfectly. 10/10 would definitely come back here and recommend to anyone in the area. read more

I'd always love this place , the best Mexican plates homemade flavors , been coming to this place since 1987

This restaurant has great services and great prices. Love that it's like a family environment and they treat you well. They checked on me more than 3 times. I will most definitely keep getting there. Every day they have great specials at great prices. Greet and treat well read more

Food was okay and service was bad. Definitely racist vibes. Need to clean. I wouldn't waste your time. Cheap prices was a plus.

Great place with even better prices. $1.99 margaritas. Regular, mango, raspberry, strawberry. Full bar and good mexican beer selection. Large food portions. 5.99 California burrito. I could only finish half. Very friendly staff. And yes, they speak fluent English. Went to the location at Hogan and Main st. Large with cold AC, big screen TVs. Two salsas: spicy red and deathly hot green. Carrots available upon request. read more

Taqueria Abasolo - Tacos! Homemade salsa and chips. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Taqueria Abasolo rules. I was definitely the only person in the place who didn't speak fluent Spanish, which is always a good sign. Chips and salsa were great. Two salsas, one super-hot salsa verde, and one of the creamy avocado-y style that seems to be common in Houston. Each tastier than the other. The California burrito was HUGE. More delicious Tex-Mexy goodness than I could eat in one sitting, and all for less than five bucks. If you are the kind of person who thinks a restaurant should have professional decor, matching furniture, and "ambiance", stay the heck away from Taqueria Abasolo. (And me.) If you like food, though, give them a try. read more

First time dining and was not let down at all! Authentic Mexican food with homemade tortillas, tasty hot sauce (not tomato paste like some places) with chips. Our food was full of flavors and great sizes. I got a horchata to drink but going to try the Michelada's on my next visit real soon. read more

This little restaurant is a hidden gem! My partner and I LOVE coming here. I have ordered just about everything on their menu. Our favorite is the caldo de res, the burritos, the molcajete, quesadillas and the flautas. The staff ladies are wonderful and always greet you with smiles. We are regular customers and they all know us here already. You won't be disappointed, they offer great tasting Mexican food and they even hand make their tortillas, you can't beat that! Oh and don't forget to order agua de horchata, that's a must have when eating there. read more

Place looks sketchy in and out but like we all know those are usually the best. I loved the homemade corn tortillas with chicken and tripas. I ordered lengua but all gone. If you're looking for cocktails with your food forget it but authentic Mexican food it's worth a try. read more

Awesome authentic Mexican food at a great price. Chips come with two salsas, a creamy jalepeno salsa and another verde salsa that had nice heat. I ordered the daily special, three fajita enchiladas with rice and beans for $6, only &8 with tax and tip. Everything seemed fresh and tasted fantastic. read more

This little whole in the wall is pretty damn good. Don't judge a book by its cover. Once you arrive you might be a little skeptical but trust me the food here is very authentic and extremely good. The fajita gorditas and the tacos are amazing. The chips and salsa are really good as well not to hot but has a kick! Can't forget about te salsa verde! Very creamy and delicious. Highly recommend.

I passed by this place for six months before stopping in. Glad I did. The food was good although I have no idea what I ordered. Next time I might order their burger because I saw a few people order that-- it's huge. I know large burgers aren't hard to find in Texas.. but this one has ham on it. Unlike a lot of places around here- they take credit card, so I'll be back. read more

My friends and I went here on May 5th 2016. There was no wait which was perfect! Small house that was gutted and turned into a restaurant. We all ordered tacos that were pretty damn good. The la lengua, chicharron, pollo, ham and egg and fajita. All were tasty, but the cow tongue was the best. Try this place it's worth it. read more

Worst food EVER! Do not recommend at all. Ordered simple tacos and an enchilada plate - barbacoa tacos we're pretty much just fat very little meat, fajita were plain and enchilada plate was bland. Won't be coming here again. read more

Stopped by after the Adele concert, around 11pm on a Wednesday, and was warmly greeted and seated. This place looks like an old house from the outside and the food reminds me of home cooking in the inside. The fajita tacos on homemade corn tortilla and the huge gordita were incredible. 4 tacos, 1 gordita, 1 Mexican coke and a large limonada for around $16 bucks. Cant beat that! Support small businesses people! This one is a neighborhood gem. read more

Waste of money and time. Was in the area and wanted some authentic tacos, so checked out Yelp for ideas. The place​ is truly​​ a hole in the wall, which I am fine with because​ they typically have the best food. ​First, the staff​ was unfriendly and did not provide any pleasantries. I ordered 3 steak tacos with rice to go. Food took awhile​, which again I'm okay as long as it's fresh. When the waitress brings my bag with food the rice is missing. I had to wait until another waitress brought that out. Driving home I am starving so I decided to eat at least the tacos. To my surprise,​ there are only 2 tacos. To add insult to injury they are salty. Ugh. When I arrive home, I decide to try the rice, only to find it bland and tasteless​. What a waste of money and time. Would not recommend or return. read more

This review is for their newer location, in the small strip mall on North Main and Hogan. Good prices and good food. I can order basically the same meal I do at other Mexican restaurants, but pay 20-30% less for nearly the same quality food, if not the same quality, and occasionally better. Open, airy seating area, lots of windows, and ample parking. I don't drink, but it seems they also have a full bar. Occasional Karaoke at night. Free chips and 2 kinds of salsa. Great flour and corn tortillas. read more
