Tucked away in a bit of an odd location, this spot turns out to be a pleasant surprise once you step inside. It's counter service, and while the staff is friendly, the interaction leans more efficient than personal. The decor fits perfectly with the vibe: cozy, clean, and thoughtfully cute without trying too hard. I went with the carne guisada plate and flour tortillas. I went sides first, and the ranchero beans were the clear bussin' really well-seasoned, full of flavor, and easily the best part of the plate. The rice was a bit flat by comparison, but the beans more than made up for it. The carne guisada itself was solid: tender beef, good spice, though it could've used a touch more depth to really match the beans. All said, the meal was very good. Its a pretty serious breakfast taco hub I'll definitely be back to try read more

This is my new go-to for break tacos when I'm in the BW8 and Richmond area as it's near my ofc. read more

Tejas Taco House - Bean, bacon and cheese breakfast taco - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place use to be good not so much now $17 for 4 regular sized tacos is absurd(use to over stuff with that price)

Restaurant is cozy, Great service. I ordered the nachos, huge portions but for $15.99 plus tax, it was not worth it. The with the beef fajita meat, and the meat looked terribly old and wayyyyy overcooked. I will not be coming here ever again. read more

The food is definitely TexMex. I May try something different next time, if I'm ever around that area but not Mexican but yea TexMex. Good in its own right and plentiful! The flavors were good and punchy and the salsa had a definitive kick to it which I love!! Very friendly staff and clean and welcoming environment, typical of little hole on the wall places which for me, are the best. read more

This is the best place for Mexican breakfast from tacos to egg plates to the menudo. This is authentic and delicious and they have good coffee read more

Had a real homey feel to the place. The Cheese Enchiladas were nice. They had the onions baked in (rather just sprinkled on top that most places do it) Beans were fine, the cheese was soft, and not chewy. read more

Food was was amazing Bonus Cozy Family Owned Husband and Wife Started it off I can't same enough about this great place we need more places like this I drive all the way from Sugar Land to get my fix Bacon Bean and Cheese is one of my favorites‼ read more

Been visiting this taco house for more than 10 years and although we've moved away from the area, we always try to stop by and eat some good Tex mex food. Breakfast tacos are awesome as is the rest of their food. Employees and owner are friendly and attentive. They have the BEST green salsa if you like spicy. The location is small and can get busy. If you're ever in the area and want some good home style Tex mex, this is your place. They do close at 3 pm and are closed sundays so plan accordingly. Happy eating! read more

Tejas Taco House - #3 plate - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Undoubtedly the best breakfast tacos in all of Houston. Food is always so fresh and delicious. It doesn't get any better than Tejas

Somehow the Chinatown area has lucked out by having more than just good Asian food. I came here for lunch (they're only open for breakfast and lunch and closed Sundays) and got the combination plate: one crispy beef taco, one cheese enchilada, and one bean tostada with rice and refried beans. I completely devoured everything. I think that their rendition of each item is spot on. The crispy beef taco was juicy, but not too much, and the meat was flavorful. The cheese enchilada had the right amount of cheese. The bean tostada was both crunchy and fresh. Their green salsa is a spicy tomatillo salsa that's a little different from what you'd usually find around town, in a good way. Prices are reasonable and the food comes out crazy fast without compromising quality. The only letdown was the lack of chips and salsa--they have them as part of some other combos, but not complimentary. If you're in the area, it's definitely a solid option for Tex-Mex. read more

We come here for lunch all the time. Delicious food, great chicken torta! Highly recommended!

I was in a dire need of tamales to scratch my itch and was able to pick up some tamales togo. They are running about ~$1.25 per tamale and I ended up getting 6 chicken and 6 pork. To my pleasant surprise, the tamales are alot larger than I had expected. The hotsauce also was super spicy, which is what I want in a hot sauce. Overall, the tamales really hit the spot and was really happy with my purchase. Love this local mom/pop favorite. read more

Been eyeing this spot for a while and finally opted to check it out. Do not regret it! Amazing tacos, friendly staff, and they do not skimp on the portion sizes or salsa! Will be back for sure. read more

Tejas Taco House - Our Favorite - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I always get the Huevos Rancheros. Actually, I have never found a better place for this dish. Both the Rancheros sauce and the Green sauce are perfectly pleasing. The Green sauce has quite a bite to it and a wonderful unique taste, most times you need to ask for it because it's not on the table. I also add Beef Fajita meat, it's very yummy. This place has a warm, homey ambience, just like if you came home for lunch, breakfast, or early snack(they close at 3pm daily, and 2:30pm on Saturday, so get there a bit early). Service is top notch, fast, and very friendly. Mom is usually there to "supervise ", just like home. The price is equitable for quality and all the perks. (Worth it). If you want cheaper.. there are always random taco trucks, somewhere, but I don't seem to trust them. Lastly: Ask to use nice restrooms, they're for Customers (and family lol) only. I'm changing my rating to 5 stars. read more

Found this little hidden gem today. Ordered two tacos -bacon egg and cheese, chorizo and egg as well as a huevos rancheros con carne plate with barbacoa. Holy cow this was delicious!! All of it!! The chorizo taco was not greasy at all and packed with flavor. Bacon egg and cheese taco? All cooked together on the flat top and inside a soft fluffy handmade tortilla. But the best may have been the huevos plate with melt in your mouth barbacoa with sunny side up eggs. The lady that took my order asked if it was my first time there. I said yes, and she confidently told me I'd be back. She was right. And it may be for lunch today. We took it to go, and got the best message on our box. Thanks!! read more

Tejas Taco House - Barbacoa platter - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been to many taquerias and to be honest the flour tortillas taste like H‑E‑B ones. The people there were honestly very nice but taste wise, definitely a heavy food compared to the light tasting tacos at a taco stand. Wouldn't come again read more

I was looking for tacos near tennis express and googled this spot. It's 3 dollars for breakfast tacos and 5 dollars for a meat taco. I didn't know it would be 5 dollars a taco here. To be fair the tacos were fine--but at the same level of many other great tacos joints all over Houston serving tacos half the price. I honestly cannot say the tacos are worth paying double. If you can eat with a clear conscious knowing you are paying double the price for a taco, then this is the place for you. You get good service, a clean table and a visually pleasant interior to eat in. I suppose that is what you are paying for. But for me, if I wanted that, I would simply go to el tiempo or pappasitos. I may come back for the menudo, which looks good and seems to be priced more competitively with the rest of the market. Decent tacos, just pricey for a place called taco house. read more

I've been here for years, and I can't believe I have never reviewed this place! When in the area, and I want tacos, this is my go to place! 1. Service - staff is family owned, super nice and friendly. Order and Pay at the front, and sit yourself down. 2. Price - cheap and affordable. They have $2 tacos. 3. Ambiance - small, cute, and feels like you're in a restaurant in San Antonio. Dress code here is casual. 4. Food - this is hands down authentic Mexican food. All their TACOS are good, including their TACO SALAD. Perfect portions. If you are not into Extreme Spicy, don't use the GREEN SALSA on your table, instead ask for the mild RED SALSA. They have Fajitas, but I've never tried it. So I can't comment on that. This is not a chain restaurant. It's a small Mom and Pop shop. This is when you know the food is legit. 5. Cleanliness - clean dining area, utensils, and food. Never been sick eating here. This is as good as it gets. I'm going to bring all my peeps here for Mexican food. read more

Location right across from our office. The food is delish, enchiladas are full of cheese, open for breakfast and lunch. The manager is so kind and always has a beautiful smile. Nice family owned restaurant. read more

Food overall 3 out of 5. It's just literally across the street from my work which is why I choose them. Food is OVER PRICED. Yes things maybe "home made" but $5.15 for 1 taco for breakfast 5.50 for dinner/lunch. Order at your discretion ensure to keep record of pay each time you go because their prices WILL BE DIFFERENT even when ordering the exact same thing on different occasions! Not to mention the charge me $1 because I chose fried egg instead of scrambled... it's still an egg right. Okay that's all I'm saying after 5 years of eating here I won't be anymore also the "grandma" or whatever she wants to be called that day is RUDE. Thanks for hearing me out read more

Since I just moved back to Houston and in a different district I was insearch of a really good taco joint. I came across Tejas thanks to Yelp. I looked it over and was like ok, so I hit the streets and noticed it was only 6 mins away from me, Score! As soon as I walked up to the door and read their sign I knew I was in the right place. Walking in it felt like home! There were more signs and the smell just hit me. Now I go almost every other day to get my morning breakfast. The ladies already know me, I'm now a regular. read more

This is a good place for tacos. I usually order them to go. This time I ate there. You don't need a sweater if you tend to get cold. The place was packed till 9:30 on Saturday. There are two registers with sign order in and to go. You can stand in one line and they will ask what if your order is to dine in or to go. They offer fountain drinks, Jamaica ( fill your cup with ice and they pour drink from behind counter), also offer bottled water and topo chico. I ordered huevos rancheros which included refried beans, small cubed potatoes, and for a little more a meat side which was barbacoa and choice of corn or flour which were both homemade. Corn tortilla and barbacoa were favorite. The potatoes were okay. My meal with drink was close to $12. If you are on a budget stick to ordering tacos which are good too. He ordered the Menudo and it was all gone. There is plenty of parking though when it gets busy you will need to walk a little more. That's actually good after eating breakfast. The actually location is on the corner and is camouflaged by offices. read more

Tejas Taco House - 6.50$ worth of blandness - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is one of the best kept secrets for American TexMex on the planet! All out good food served in generous portions. Very "home" atmosphere with a steady crowd of repeat diners. It's no gem from the outside - doesn't even have the shack appeal but hidden in an old retail store front, boy oh boy this place is a gem. What to try - do the barbacoa tacos, breakfast sandwich with bacon and egg, green enchiladas, or their infamous carne guisada. read more

This place is so solid and the kind of mom and pop place that needs to be around forever. Always friendly and fast service. Breakfast tacos - large selection, large, and cheap! BIG fan of their lunches - probably the best enchiladas verde in town. Well priced. Free parking - but sometimes full at lunch. A bit out of the way but well worth the drive.

Tejas Taco House - Chicken quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Sadly I didn't get too try the food. I wanted too get the food delivered but they do not provide delivery service on any apps. I then realized I could Uber the food under a package and get the food that way but the business refused too take payment over the phone. My suggestion to this business is too establish delivery services through Uber eats and door dash. read more

My boss just brought us tacos from this place and they are delicious. The tortillas are homemade I can tell and the chile/sauce was so good it was not too spicy but it had a kick. I will definitely be coming here soon. read more

Homemade tortillas and lots of delicious filling! Best tacos on my commute in the morning. And always nice people. Definitely recommend!

Decided to try Tejas Taco House out this morning around 10:30 am. Ordered 2 Chorizo, egg, and cheese tacos and 1 bacon, egg, and cheese taco. Wanted a cheese enchilada plate (they don't start serving lunch foods until 11, so we had to wait a little bit to order that.) For those of you wondering, there is a $5 card minimum. The breakfast tacos were filling, the green sauce on the table was amazing (not really spicy at all). The cheese enchiladas were very cheesy, and well worth the $8. The rice was tasty (and I don't like rice all that much), but the refried beans tasted like they were from a can. Overall, it was a good experience with great food and will return one day. The owner and employees are very attentive. The place is also immaculately clean. read more

The food here is very good and delicious. It is fairly priced too. The reason why this only gets 3 stars is because presentation was horrible. It looked very rushed and bad. I bought a Togo quesadilla plate and a combo plate. The quesadilla plate looked ok but when I got to the combo plate togo box it was all over the place. Rice and beans spilling everywhere. There was no order. The food tastes better than it looks. Overall this is a good place for Mexican food. read more
