a mexican food truck
Lupe M.

I haven't been to this truck stand in 18 years! This truck is across the street from Sam Houston High, crazy how I remember walking here for lunch durning high school. So I was very surprised to see it still there after all these years. You can see from the menu they have a wide variety of items. I stuck to what I remembered and chose the torta with fajita. Then I couldn't believe the price hasn't changed in 18 years! It's still just five bucks! What i didn't expect was for it to come with a side of beans, and side of grilled onions and a lime. I didn't ask for any of this and I'm not complaining, for five bucks that's a sweet deal. The torta was cooked perfect with a toasty bun and tender meat. I added the grilled onions and some green salsa which just evaluated it. The beans had a very nice kick to them. If you're not a fan of spicy eat the beans with caution. I highly recommend this place for a quick, cheap lunch on the go.

The lemonade is delicious! My kids loved the tacos. I think the only downside is they don't take card but they do take cash and zelle

El Taconazo - Barbacoa Especial

El Taconazo

4.5(383 reviews)
3.5 mi•Northside Village

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.

This little gem has to be my favorite tacos in Houston. The beef was so well marinated and the al…read morepastor was so delicious, it felt I was eating chiaxiu (Cantonese bbq pork). Washed it all down with their apple soda. Fuego There's a seating area with AC in the patio area, and clean indoor dining space with bathrooms. It was so wonderful eating here for dinner, I'm looking forward to come back soon!

This is a review for the trompo tacos only. I need to go back and try their other items. The trompo…read morehere looked great, so I had to try. I'm from Katy; this east part of Houston is very new to me. I don't know where to go for food here, but I for sure now know where to go for Trompo Tacos! The trompo here was bomb! I was in the city for a wine fest and needed tacos to tame my hunger from all the wine sipping. Tacos Las Sultana popped up, and the pictures of the trompo looked insane. After going, I can confirm the trompo looked even better than the pictures. Shout out to the chef cutting up fresh trompo I ordered some tacos de trompo to go, with avocado. The order of tacos came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. I have never had roasted potatoes with my tacos; they were tasty and very buttery. Dude, the way they packaged their tacos... never have I seen tacos from a taco truck packaged so nicely. They wrap everything and even package their salsa. Very clean, very organized This place is over an hour away from me. After eating here I will gladly make the hour drive for this bomb trompo They have a parking lot and street parking available. They have limited seating available inside. They take cash and Venmo payment
