All I can say is "Wow!" If there is one thing that I feel I can evaluate with some degree of authority, it is the quality of taqueria fare. And Taqueria Mexico is one that I feel truly exemplifies this genre of Texas cuisine (Texas taquerias are by definition Mexican / Tex-Mex hybrids). On my most recent visit to my favorite city in the world, I happened to stay in the Galleria. Given that I usually prefer to dine in or around where I am staying, I was fairly limited to what I generally *like* with respect to restaurants, so I ventured into the adjacent but familiar Sharpstown neighborhood. On my last day in town, we wanted Taqueria brunch (what's new?). Driving down Bellaire Boulevard, I spotted Taqueria Mexico. It occured to me that I used to come here quite a bit when I first moved to Houston (at that time, living in Sharpstown). The only thing I remembered very vividly was how good their salsas were, which, combined with nostalgia, was enough for me to make the decision to eat here. This was without a doubt some of the best taqueria brunch I have had in years. I order almost exclusively à la carte due to health-related dietary reasons. Anyone familiar with my reviews and content would know this, and what I usually order - steak, eggs, and bacon (à la carte). Not only was this some of the best taqueria steak I have had in a while, the service and atmosphere were also top-notch. And, did I mention their salsas? I would come back again just for that! If you are in the Sharpstown area, and looking for a good classic Houston taqueria, with quality food, service, and a clean vibrant environment, I highly recommend stopping by here. I doubt you will be dissapointed! read more

Taqueria Mexico - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been ordering from this place for a while now, and it always comes through for me. Their food is affordable, really tasty, usually delivered pretty quickly. Their prices are really good too. I buy a big burrito and some tacos every time, and they have yet to disappoint. Service is swift here. I always appreciate that. Can't speak to the ambiance of the area cause I always get it delivered, but still. Highly recommend. read more

For the second time in a row, Taqueria Mexico has come through with delicious menudo and savory tacos on Christmas Day! Thank you Taqueria Mexico! read more

I like to keep my reviews updated. My wife is trying very hard to learn Spanish so asked for modifications in Spanish and even called to ask for something in Spanish bc ordering through UberEATS doesn't always have the same options. First of all, they were so nice to her!! It really made her feel good about her attempt at such a lovely language! I truly appreciate how happy they made her feel. We haven't gotten the food yet, but they have never disappointed us. We will definitely order again. Thank you. read more

I wish I can say that my family had an opportunity to critique the food, but not everyone was served. I ordered breakfast for my family. We wanted Barbacoa tacos... there are 5 of us and so I went to ubereats online and found Taqueria Mexico. I saw that there was a buy-get-one-free and the tacos were a part of that particular special... So If I buy 3, I get 3 free, right?!?! Wrong... instead of them sending me (6) barbacoa tacos, they sent 3. I called the store only to be told that I have to buy 6...!!!!! Make THAT MAKE SENSE!!!! Uber did not refund me for my half-ass delivered order and the restaurant is doing nothing about it...meanwhile, this is just a transaction to them both. but this is my family's breakfast... Lives are being impacted and all they can see is what... A VERY DISGUSTED FAMILY THAT WILL NEVER USE EITHER UBER EATS OR PATRONIZE TAQUERIA MEXICO... WE CANT EVEN SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER BC OF THIS KIND OF BULLSHIT! read more

This is my favorite taqueria I've tried so far!! They have two locations but I visit this one the most. The other location is in Gulf gate and it has a drive-thru. My main go to, the best thing here in my opinion is the torta. I LOVE the beef fajita torta. I've had the pechuga pollo (chicken breast) torta and it's great also. What I love about this place is they use REAL fajita meat, not pretend fajita meat like some other spots. This is legit skirt steak and it's grilled to perfection. My husband loves the street tacos and gorditas but he always prefers the tortas. I add a side of fries with queso and it's delish! They have a cantaloupe juice that's to die for good! This place also offers a variety of plates and other authentic dishes. The soup is also perfect on a cold winter day (caldo reyes) and they have a whole fish dish if you're into that. The service is good but if they are busy be prepared to be patient waiting on your check! read more

We had been on the road for about 7 hours and were starving. We saw the sign between two parking lots and though that was slightly confusing, we did find it in the back of the second parking lot between a vet and La Placita. As tired as I was, I think I found this at the perfect time to lift my spirits. It smelled so delicious outside and that's a good sign!! When we entered we saw the register straight ahead, a prep area to the right and a few tables. To the left was a second, larger dining area. We were greeted by a very friendly staff and told to seat ourselves. A lot of our visit was half in Spanish and half in English, they easily switched in between, based on what needed more clarification. I felt our server was kind and professional and I was pleased with our visit. I was also happy with the prices. It was such a good meal that when I paid $16.44 at the register before we left, I felt like it was a steal! Our complimentary chips and salsa were delicious! The chips were thick and crunchy like I like them and definitely tasted like they were made in house. The salsa was warm and pleasantly spicy. It was difficult to stop eating! :) My husband got a Dr. Pepper which was served in a can, so I switched to an agua fresca and chose the melon. The Dr. Pepper being a $2 charge for the can is the only thing I felt was overpriced. My agua fresca was worth every bit of the $1.99. It was clearly made fresh and literally tasted better with each sip! It was outstandingly delicious, just sweet enough and I couldn't stop talking about it when we left. Make sure you get some! I got two tacos for $1.95 each and a small side of rice for $1.75. The tacos come with lettuce, tomato, onion and cilantro automatically with no extra charge, quite the deal! The rice was good, but gone too soon. Next time I'll get the large. The al pastor was tasty and full of flavor. If you like fatty meats like my husband, I would recommend this. Personally I prefer leaner meats, so I felt it was a little fattier than I would normally order, but you can't argue with the result in the flavor. The pollo guisada was very juicy and well seasoned. I scarfed it down, so good! I got to sample some of my husbands food as well. He was really pleased with how authentic his meal tasted. The carne asada quesadilla was small, but worth the $2.35 price tag. I tasted some of the carne asada and this was full of bold flavor. I've never had carne asada seasoned so perfectly and it was cooked perfectly too. It was not chewy at all, which is usually the only reason I shy away from it at other places. The last thing I sampled, shortly before we left was a few bites of the gordita picadillo my husband couldn't finish. For $3.19 this is a good deal as it's quite filling for it's size. I liked this sooooo much, it was soooo good. I actually said 'wow' after my first bite. The ground beef and gordita together are such a comforting, homey combination. It's been a long time since I've been to a place where everything was so perfectly seasoned and delicious! I wish I lived in the area as this would be a regular stop. I hate Houston traffic, but I will be happy to return so I can stop in here and have more of this delicious food! I'm jealous of those of you who live here locally! This is one of the best taquerias I've ever been to. If you haven't tried them yet, get over there now! read more

Recommended to this place from a friend and was not disappointed. Definitely put my Spanish skills to the test when I had I difficult time order water! Oh well, more reason to practice my Spanish so I can appreciate the hidden gems around Houston like this one. There is another location on Wrinkler Rd but this is the one to go to apparently. The menu here is all authentic mexican dishes, while there are lots of options it's not overwhelming where you are reading through a book trying to decide what to get. It was a slow weekday, so not particularly packed but still a few guests. Service was good but I could see on a weekend this place being packed to the brim, lots of seats in the dining area so I'm sure they are pushing out lots of food. Started off with the queso fundido or flamado as i'm used to seeing, which is the melted white cheese queso. This is not the liquid kind but actual thick melted cheese. Ordered it with the chorizo and it was served with lots of meat and hot tortillas. This is good for 2-4 people, can be a little too much for 2 people if you already ate a lot of the complimentary chips served. Warning this can be pretty greasy but if you picked mexican for dinner you shouldn't be worried about eating greasy... TACOS! $2 a taco for about a 6-inch flour taco that's grilled a little for that added crisp can't be beat. I recommend sticking with about 3-5 depending on how many chips you scarf down first. Out of the ones I ordered my favorite DEFINITELY the al pastor (marinate pork), then barbacoa (bbq beef), picadillo (ground beef) and then carne asada (beef fajita). The pastor was by far my favorite, it wasn't as sweet as most I've had. A lot of time it will have pineapple, this one didn't which was fine by me. The meat was shaved off the spindle and grilled fresh on the flattop so it had a nice crisp to it as well. Barbacoa was solid, good but not my particular favorite one I've had. For picadillo, it was actually the first time I've tried this, which wasn't bad, the taco had lettuce and tomato which wasn't my favorite. Instead I added some cilantro and onions as those are my favorite toppings. I would definitely come back here, especially for the al pastor. I meant to order a gordita and heard the crispy tacos were worth it so those will be ordered next time! If you are looking for good authentic Mexican food at hole in the wall joint, look no further. read more

Horrible place and food don't waste your time and money!! Horrible customer service. Very rude and v

My family and I have been coming here for what seems like ages! As far as the location, I will say it's definitely not fancy, but they more than make up for it with their good and service. The restaurant is located in a less than desirable area of town, but I have never felt unsafe here. Plus,it seems every time I come, there are always a couple of officers enjoying their lunch or dinner. I have tried a couple of items off their menu, which compared to more commercial taquerias, can seem limited. I will say all items are good choices and pretty much cover all food groups. The tortas are my favorite here, no beans! I also loved the tacos al pastor and fried fish. The presentation of the food takes you back to grandma's house on a Sunday morning! Very traditional and delicious! The service here is wonderful! The waitstaff is excellent and always check up on you even when the place is busting at the seams. I have never waited more than five minutes for my food and that's always a plus for me! Great food at a wonderful price, around $10 for you meal, is a win-win situation. read more

I've eaten here for 15 years and it's one of my favorite places to eat in all of Houston. I'm embarrassed to realize that I've never written a review....until now! Taqueria Mexico is a clean, nice restaurant that is one of the best values in the city. My favorite items are carne asada (i.e. beef fajita) items such as the gordita and tostada. Portions are generous. When my kids were younger, they sometimes complained the quesadillas had too much meat! While this is labeled a taqueria, it is more of a regular Mexican restaurant with always friendly table service. Be sure to ask for the red and green sauces in addition to the regular red table salsa. Most of the items have a white queso fesco type of cheese, not the yellow cheese of Tex-Mex. If you want some yellow cheese, order the enchiladas with yellow cheese and the Tex-Mex gravy. Many items can be ordered a-la-carte. This is a good value and lets you get a bit of everything. read more

The food is always comforting. My favorite thing to order is the torta with fajita meat. The bolillos are toasted and buttery. Their chile con queso is always super creamy and never watery like some other places. Great place to go for a savory and satisfying meal. read more

Horrible. We have to this restaurant for many, many years and it was always great. The fajita was always cooked and seasoned to perfection, the pozole was top notch, and basically everything we ordered was fantastic. After visiting I'm sad to report that this is no longer the case. The meat we received was grey and felt wet. The service that was once kind and familiar was cold and rude. It was just awful. It's apparent they have made some changes and not for the better. Don't waste your time. There are so many good places in the area and this is just no longer one of them. read more

This is a great place for lunch in the city. Good food for a reasonable price. The service is a little slow, so order as quickly as possible. Good salsa and sauces. The salsa is heated and the other sauces are refrigerated. Lunch specials starting at 5.95. It's kind of a whole-in-the-wall. Maybe like a Mexican diner - Canned soft drinks, napkin dispenser at the table, no paper towels in the men's room, and you pay at the counter. Really good food though. read more

One of my favorite authentic Mexican food restaurants in Southwest Houston. A bit hard to find for some as it's in between Bellaire Vet Clinic and La Placita. It is quite family friendly and quiet during weekday lunch hours. Weekends it can get quite busy but the atmosphere is still calm as again, its family friendly, alcohol isn't widely a reason people come here for but the food. Reasonable prices. Tacos de trompo and lengua are my favorite, which I highly recommend. read more

Never going back! Worst "Caldo de Res" beef soup...I've ever had. The meat quality was horrible and the "tamarindo" juice had food odor/taste. The prices are pretty high too. So disappointed. read more

Warm fresh salsa and the torta was amazing. The green sauce also hit the spot! Yummmm

Listen to the reviews that say the service is bad. I came in today for a to-go order of breakfast tacos and the lady behind the counter, Viridiana, must have been having a terrible day because she took it out on me. In Spanish I began my order of one flour, one corn tacos and she rolled her eyes and raised her hand and said "of what? What kind?" Um... If you let me finish my order I was getting to that. Strike one. Strike two came when I asked, still in Spanish, what type of juices they had. She answered curtly "orange." I said no, I meant those pointing at natural waters. She again rolled her eyes and said "those are called aguas, not juices." Now it's totally okay to correct my verbiage but not in the nasty manner she did. I asked for her name and paid. & of course as I sat waiting for my order they were talking about me in Spanish behind the counter and how I asked for her name and probably got upset after she corrected me. No, I got upset when she first greeted me with an eye roll. Also I ordered in Spanish so obviously I understood every word they were saying. By that time I was just eyeing my order to make sure no one tampered with it. read more

This is a great spot for lunch...fast service, cheap, and tastes great. A couple items off the taco menu will be plenty for lunch. I'd recommend the al pastor tacos and the lengua tacos. The carne asada tacos are also tasty. The Enchiladas Posinos (sp?, item #2) on the lunch menu is a great deal, it's three cheese enchiladas with a grilled skirt steak on top plus the rice and refried beans all for about $5. The steak is as tasty as any you would find at Pappasitos or Lupe Tortillas. Check the specials board by the cash register when you walk in. If they have posole that day give that a try. The soup's a little greasy, but what the heck, it's a taqueria! read more

This used to be my favorite taqueria. They painted some walls and hired new people and raised their prices. The food is NOT the same; super bland tacos! On top of that, some lady kept hovering and I kept speaking to her in Spanish and she kept responding in English. This is NOT the same experience and I am pretty bummed. Good luck to them. read more

I've been coming here for years but recently everything has gotten so bad here. The food and service. Not only were my enchiladas cold but it was just the tortilla and when i called the waitress over here to tell her she tried to argue with me and say it was right. I even showed her the menu to prove to her what it came with. She rolled her eyes and smacked her lips. The "salad" is just lettuce with tomato- nothing else that is says it does on the menu. This place is way overpriced if you compare it to the food and service you get. Sadly never coming back. read more

A true disappointment. The so-called "pozole" was the worst meal me and my daughter have had.

Legit. Spicy. Delicious. I come here with my folks for Saturday Breakfast and it never disappoints.

This restaurant has one of THE best mexican food in town. And I'm not exaggerating. I ate here with one of my best friends since her parents actually owned the store right next to it, and it was unlike anything I've eaten before. Truth be told, I usually didn't eat a lot of Mexican food since I wasn't used to it, but after trying the heavenly quesadillas here, my opinion changed, just like that. It was so delicious, and I also tried this horchata drink which was so amazingly good and sweet I was pretty sure I would have diabetes from just one sip. Y'all definitely should try this place! read more

Great, great Mexican restaurant. I stumbled across this place about 10 years ago and have always loved it. The food is excellent and the service is good. I normally order off of the lunch menu.

My boyfriend and I decided to try Taqueria Mexico after reading several high-rated reviews on Yelp. We enjoy Mexican food quite a bit, so we were excited about this place, especially since it was pretty close to Bellaire when we mapped it. Ambiance-wise...it's definitely a hole in the wall. Maybe a step above. That doesn't typically bother us, though. The waitstaff was pretty attentive, which is always a plus, but what really disappointed me was the fact that the food just wasn't all that impressive. I ordered the lunch special Tampiquena-style plate that came with cheese enchiladas, rice and beans, and a carne asada steak. My enchiladas were cheesy, but majorly needed some spice or seasoning. My steak was burnt and way over well-done. The rice and beans were bland and ordinary. It was a letdown. I guess I just had really high expectations. Probably won't be back to this place. read more

You wrote a review for Taqueria Mexico Lindo One minute ago 2/11/2018 I have been coming here ever since I was a little child. I remember growing up with this great Mexican restaurant. When I got married 20+ years ago I decided to start the same tradition with my family. Sadly today will be my LAST day there. I still went even with the service was terrible because the food was good and the prices were affordable. Well today I ordered what I ALWAYS order and the food that gave me was literally 1/2 the size as they normally are. Instead of using regular size tortillas the owner decided to cut costs and use the street size tortillas and instead of giving me a full order of breakfast potatoes she gives me half order. WHILE I completely understand that prices go up, food costs go up, staffing goes up in no way do I feel that the portion size should go down. They also use to give you free chips and salsa but the owner has since changed that policy. Charge me a few cents more understandable but do not cut my portion to minimal size at the same price!!!! That's what most restaurants do. When I took my order to the owner she was extremely rude. I explained to her my history with the restaurant, she proceeds to lie to me and give me attitude, saying "it's always been like this. I didn't cut the portion size, I told her I didn't want this anymore , she said too bad I'm not taking it back, you can eat or throw it away. I am not returning you the money." I told her, "I am not coming back to this establishment." she said, "I don't really care if you do." I TOLD HER THEN YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN. she said, "fine by me." I have never been treated this way. Instead of saying I'm sorry ma'am we've changed the portions due to the costs etc...or at least apologizing she didn't. I will never set foot there. There are better Mexican restaurants out there they obviously don't care about me as a customer and as a patron. GOODBYE. read more

Update: Still delicious!! Omg soooo good,slap you mamacita bueno!!! I had the pleasure of being served by the lovely Carmen for the second time. She is so kind and upbeat which only adds value to the delicious food! I'm in LOVE with this place. This time I got the beef fajita enchiladas and i couldn't believe it... they were better than the delicious chicken fajita enchiladas I devoured the first time. I will keep coming back and I suggest everyone tries this place out! I am authentic Mexican food lover and have tried many places, including the upscale "Tex-Mex" places, and none of them tops this one! No joke... prices are so affordable, the food is soooooo good, and the service received here is awesome!!! Wow! Delicious little gem that I'm so happy to have found!! We will come here regularly. Prices are super inexpensive and delicious. Fresh ingredients with flavor for days! I had the chicken enchiladas with the salsa verde.... Amazing!! Hubby had the beef fajita burrito. It was long in length and didn't look like much but one a bite was taken.... hmmm, very yummy. This is a quaint establishment and the service was awesome the ladies were kind and patient with me. They gave suggestions and also let me try the sauces to ensure I would enjoy them on my enchiladas. I also love the open kitchen, as you can watch your food being made. The food was so good I think I told almost the whole staff including the chef. We ordered a tres leches to go, it was a large portion and although I haven't tried it yet I'm more than confident it will be great! EVERYTHING WAS GOOD.... from the salsa(spicy) to the entree, right down to the rice and beans... Fantastic! Keep up the good work and I'll keep coming back read more
