Wow, what a hidden gem! I was driving by and really in the mood for Mexican Tacos. I drove past it…read moreat first because it was so small. I decided to turn around and give it a shot. This place did not disappoint! I ordered a quesadilla and tacos (al pastor and Fajita) The quesadillas were cheesy but not over the top. Al pastor had a GREAT flavor. They have a spicy homemade salsa which is a great addition to the food. Both corn and flour tortillas are handmade. I didn't even consider taking a photo of the food, I promise it was amazing. They sell a variety of Mexican Sodas and local drinks. About $1.75 per taco and $3 for the smallest quesadillas. The service was fast, and the guys were very nice. Definitely want to come back here again. Don't forget it's CASH ONLY. Come check it out!

Good breakfast tacos. We got the egg/bacon, egg/chorizo, egg/potato - added onions and jalapeno…read more I like my bacon extra crispy, but that of course is personal preference.

I get that maybe the place is busy but maybe say please hold?? And it's 2 pm after the lunch rush...what's the issue ?? Ooookay then I get there and say hey I was trying to call in an order and the young girl told me they don't pick up calls from private numbers ?? Which I guess is okay but if you have a business a little weird to me. The. I told her no twice someone picked up one hung up and the other (a male) said the restaurant name and she STILL WANTED TO BE ARGUMENTATIVE. This is very disappointing. Is this how businesses are run now?? I understand that businesses have a right to choose who and how to conduct business but being rude is acceptable now? I try my best to be nice and respectful...maybe I was just raised differently. Okay I'm done with my rant. Food is good but customer service is garbage!

HOT TAMALE truck is every bit of the hype. When it's great consistently, it's worth the long line…read more I was a first timer. Good conversation while standing in line. I must say the line moved at a good paste. They are on the high end, small and not a lot of filling, but hey- the taste keeps people coming back for more. $15 bucks will get you a dozen. They also sell, chips, salsa and chile conqueso. Other stuff too. Will I go back? Sure #FIRE }:{

I grew up not far from the original location of The Hot Tamales truck and I remember passing by it…read moreon many occasions. Today wanted to drop by for some nostalgia. The truck is a little further down 2351 closer to 518. There is plenty of parking on a gravel lot. I was helped right away by the original owner's son. There were a few variations of the tamales and I went with the pork and spicy pork. The tamales were hot and fresh. I added a red and green salsa to compliment the tamales. Unfortunately these two condiments were not free as other concepts include them with your order. The flavor was good however I found them a little drier than I am accustomed to. They are also a bit smaller compared to others. Overall it is a marginal tamale. I did appreciate that these guys are still open after 48 years. And I do want to support these family businesses. Will I be back in the future, yes.

This is my new favorite taco truck in the greater Clear Lake/ Friendswood area. The price to food…read morequality factor here is awesome. I had the beef fajita tacos, papusas, and a quesadilla. The beef fajita tacos were excellent. Because this place specializes in papusas, the flour tortilla was waaaay better than other tortillas. Incredibly fresh. The ladies in the truck were kneading dough while taking my order. Tacos were only $2 each with premium carne - adios Torchy's. Papusa was great. I've never had one before but it seemed very high quality to me. Quesadilla was not the best quesadilla I've had, but really solid. Comparable to a Taco Cabana except with higher quality, fresh ingredients. The only reason I'm giving four stars is because I think the sauce could be spicier!!! I still highly recommend this spot.

My only issue with this business is that I did not find the truck at the address listed on google…read more When I did not find it, I started driving home then I stumbled upon the food truck a little bit down the street. I ordered 6 chicken tacos. I love that these tacos are cheap, I believe they were about 1.50 each. Good customer service and food was delicious. I will definitely be back.

The corn tortillas are very crispy and greasy, as expected, and the meat was very tender and cheesy. I enjoy the array of sauces and toppings that are brought out with the tacos.

It's Pearland so parking won't be a problem. After perusing the menu, I couldn't say no to the pizzadilla. I'll be back to that in the moment. Service (4.5/5): Pretty much what you hope for. A seamless ordering experience, the food was ready when promised, and no issues arose. One thing I like is that they go above and beyond in providing you with extra limes, and a generous heap of onions, cilantro, and veggies. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much a standard small Mexican taco joint. Nothing to write home about. Drinks (4.5/5): I love agua frescas and they have them here with 3-4 flavors to choose from. I went with a large pepino (cucumber) agua fresca. Delicious and refreshing. Food (3/5): This is interesting. The pizzadilla sounded amazing. Think of it as a huge quesadilla of sorts, served in a pizza box You can choose your meat. Naturally, I went with the birria which is served with a generous portion of consome. All sounds good, right? Here's where things fell apart. The quesadilla had an overwhelming amount of cheese and an underwhelming amount of birria meat. This is coming from a guy who absolutely loves cheese and feels like it makes anything better. I think this is the first time in my life I'm saying otherwise. There was so much cheese that it overpowered the dish and you could barely taste the birria. Which shouldn't be the case as the meat is the star of the show. Maybe the kitchen made a mistake. Or maybe their ratio is highly off on this dish. Either way, disappointing as I thought this spot would crush it.

I suddenly got in the mood for breakfast tacos, and since most places stop serving them before noon…read moreor early afternoon, I went on Yelp to find a spot that serves them all day. I came across this place with tons of great reviews, and the food looked amazing, so I decided to give it a shot. It's only about 15 minutes from where I am in League City, and the place was super nice and clean. The staff was very attentive and friendly and I ordered 4 breakfast tacos with chorizo, potato, and egg. They were SO good! I honestly have no complaints about the food. My only gripe is that I wish they gave a little more salsa, especially for the size of the tacos. I ordered 4 tacos and was only given 3 tiny 1-ounce cups of salsa not even one per taco. I asked if I could get a couple more, but they said there was an extra charge for them. I thought that was a little strange, especially since they were such small portions and since they have some at the table if you sit and eat. Luckily, I had some salsa at home, so I took the tacos home and absolutely killed them. I'll definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for some really good breakfast tacos!

Let's start with the good and end with the bad. First off,…read morethe horchata was really good definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The torta, though? Not going to lie... pretty mid. The fajita had good flavor, but there was nowhere near enough meat. There was so little fajita on it that I started wondering if the torta was on a diet. By the time I got back to work and actually sat down to eat it, the bread was already getting soggy from the mayo, which didn't help. For $11, I was expecting a considerably bigger torta and a decent amount of meat. At this size and portion, I'd say $5-$7 would be more reasonable. The rice was probably the weakest part of the meal. It was very plain and didn't have much flavor at all. I also tried the green and red sauces. Green sauce was actually pretty good. The red sauce, however, tasted like regular Pace Picante sauce... just watered down. I've seen some other reviews saying the tacos are pretty small, and after this experience, I'm definitely curious to see for myself. I'll be back for the tacos, so stay tuned for the Taco Update. Overall, not my favorite spot, but I wouldn't completely write it off. Maybe I'll swing by every few months or more and give it another shot. The tacos might redeem this place... we'll see.
