These people commenting on here don't know what good tacos taste like. Their chorizo, egg and cheese was sweetish, greasy with a pink red hue to the chorizo. I assume their quality of chorizo is why it doesn't taste good. Their tortillas are not fresh. They could easily buy raw HEB tortillas and it would elevate their tacos. There are no good Mexican/taco places in Jersey Village. If you are not used to good Mexican food then this place would be fine for you. read more

Love Texas Tacos and so happy they are around the corner. It's a perfect place to handle your taco fix. And the service is always so great too. Come early at 5am? No problem. They are open! We love any of their breakfast tacos thats served all day, especially the sausage and egg or chorizo/egg. You can also get some tasty tamales, $12/dozen. They will give it to you or boil it up for you so that they're piping hot (the best!). So many things to love but if you're going to get something, get the al pastor tacos. Sooo good and flavorful. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! It's pretty much my go-to for breakfast tacos. I started going to Texas Taco years back. They used to be in a small shack off of Little York and Windfern but have since moved to this location. I've never had a breakfast taco that I didn't like here, and the salsas are delicious. Pricing is very reasonable. They load their breakfast tacos up, even the more pricier items that some places really skimp on (i.e. bacon) I wish their new location had a drive thru, but I'm not holding it against them. For the menudo lovers out there, my husband says their menudo is pretty good. His favorite places to go to for that are pretty far (and weirdly always seem to be inside a small supermarket lol). But since Texas Taco has tacos, he enjoys the menudo here from time to time. I don't love menudo like that, so I can't comment on it. Northwest Houston, definitely check it out! read more

I didn't like it. I called it in on my way there, because I'm on a 15 break from work and have to get back. I stop by Starbucks 1st to give them time to prepare my order and when I arrive to this taco place. No customers in there and the owner is outside chatting with his friend, they didn't even start to make my order. I bite into the taco, it taste like the tortilla was made days before and warmed up, it had a refrigerated taste. Also the bacon taste like it was made the day or so before. They just pulled it out of a container where they stored precooked bacon. I was disappoint, I gave my co worker my other taco. Meh. read more

I was craving a torta and happen to be leaving the dollar tree across the way from Texas Tacos. Their sign on the building is TX tacos tortas & tacos. So I went off of the few yelp reviews and gave this local business a try since I live in Jersey Village. I got there 45 mins before closing and ordered my beef fajita torta to go.. I grew up in SE Houston basically in Pasadena. I might me Asian but I know good Mexican/ Latin foods. One of my neighbors was El Salvadoran and one was from Mexico so I grew up eating foods from at both houses since I was good friends with their daughters/ grand daughters. My friends now good Viet food as well since my mom was always in the kitchen cooking.. (This is why I am a pretty good cook myself). Pros: the beef fajita had flavor, moist not dry. Cons: the bread wasn't toasted much, lacked refried beans, hardly any cream, and NO AVOCADO ... I don't think I will be back for a torta here. read more

Most people will drive by and never notice this place. The sign is like a small star. But I think this is how you're supposed to eat Menudo and Pupusas and get the best experience. In a place where there is no AC, poor ventilation, and a grill running non-stop. The focus here is on the food and not necessarily the presentation or anything else. I love it. It's quick and delicious. read more

I've been eyeballing this little place for years mostly because it boasts pupusas and tortas. I'm here at 8:00 in the morning and even though I wanted a pupusa, I was so hungry I just took the first thing available which was a barbacoa taco as far as I could tell. I probably could have ordered something different and a pupusa probably wouldn't have taken much longer, but my stomach was not willing to wait. I ordered two barbacoa tacos and managed to eat only one. They are stuffed with meat. Worth the $2.50. very nice friendly staff and the owner is very amiable. Welcoming me back the next day. Little does he know I might be back later today for a papusa. I have physical therapy in the area which is why I was here today. But now that I know about this location and their hours which are 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., we will probably be back for some tortas for lunch. You cannot go wrong with a good torta. Dine-in seating is open and take out. I thought there was drive through but now that I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure the drive-thru is for the Starbucks on the other end of the shopping center. So it's dine in or carryout. Definitely recommend for breakfast tacos. I saw a customer come in and it appeared as if he is very much a regular. They knew his order when he got there and they said see you tomorrow and he said yes you will. So I believe it. read more

Ordered the chicken fajita torta for $6, and it tasted quite tasty. The guy working was jovial, but it seemed to be somewhat like an episode of good cop/bad cop; Or should I say good cook/bad cook with his older, heavier, female colleague. She wore a stern expression the whole time and when I told her that I wanted a chicken torta, she told me that "I'd need to wait while the bread was grilled" (as if I was trying to jump the counter to grab the uncooked torta bread). When she brought the food to our table, I confirmed what I had ordered by politely saying 'I got the chicken fajita torta' and in a moment of unfettered eloquence, she replied with, "Yes," the scowl still prevalent on her face. The food was enjoyable and I liked chatting with the male employee, but the older lunch lady was either having a bad day or just needs a class in providing polite customer service. read more

I don't know why this place has such good ratings but these tacos are worse than okay. They served me potatoes straight out of the fridge on my potato and egg taco. The tortillas are not homemade and don't taste good, the tortillas from HEB are better. Pupusas are not fresh either. If you want real pupusas go to Cafe Latino about a mile away. Other restaurants or taquerias around the area have better tacos as well. read more

I used this deal where you get 2 Tacos, 2 pupusas, beans, rice, and soda all for $10! Pros: The pupusas are amazing, I'm a huge fan of the revueltas (pork and cheese). I got a chicken taco and a beef fajita taco- they were not only really good...the meat, cheese, onions, cilantro and pica de gallo were wonderfully stuffed in the flour tortilla, yum! The owner is super sweet and hilarious. He's great to have a conversation with while you wait for your food to be prepared. Con: It takes time for the food to be prepared, so if you're in a rush- I don't recommend it. However, it's just the two owners running everything so you can't blame them. Overall, it was a pleasant experience for me. read more

Ordered two kinds of breakfast tacos- sausage and egg (2 of these. One ended up in the trash) and the other bean and cheese (didn't know you could mess this up). Gross.

Excellent place to grab breakfast! Just moved close to this area and heard a lot of good things about this spot, so me and the family decided to try it out this morning. We had a variety of breakfast tacos. All of them were PACKED and delicious! My husband ordered a bowl of menudo that came with tortillas on the side, as well as onions, cilantro, and limes on the side. Let me just say, that menudo was THEBOMB.COM!!!!! I never order menudo anywhere because nothing compares to my grandma's menudo...like nothing comes close. The smell of this menudo is what got me. Took me straight back to Saturday morning breakfast at my abuela's house. I had to taste it and I'm so glad I did. I ended up eating 1/4 of my husband's bowl . It tasted JUST like my grandma's menudo. The tacos were really good, I was just personally blown away by the menudo. The staff is super friendly and the place is obviously very popular. We saw waves of all kinds of people coming and going as we ate our breakfast inside the restaurant. Lots of people are regulars...you can tell. We will definitely be going back again. I want to try their tortas and my husband wants to try their pupusas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Try it out! read more

Only been here a couple times, but the owners are very polite and will try and fix up whatever your hearts content which is a great thing because my wife hates eggs...so I usually have to order off the menu when coming to small Mexican places like this. They've got menudo on the weekends, but I haven't had the opportunity so I'll have to come back and tell you guys about that next time I'm in for some breakfast tacos for the family. Stop by and give these guys your business because I'd hate to lose my only local breakfast tacos place that's just down the road.....granted, I can make my own at home, but who wants to cook on Saturday mornings? lol read more

Amazing food. Barbacoa tacos were amazing pupusas with pork and cheese were the best I have had in years. But if you have a large order may not be the best place to go. I called in my order for eight tacos because I was in a huge hurry with my daughter. Walked up to the pickup order sign but for some reason the cashier ignored me and handled the walk up orders in front of the buffet then when no one else was in line took care of my order. She tried to charge me $25 for my $16 order next and needless to say my order was soggy and cold by the time I got back to the car and not worth even reheating. read more

Food comes out immediately but there is no seating so be ready to eat outside/in your car. Definitely recommend the plato especial for best value. This plate is definitely enough for 2-3 to share. Meat is super nicely cooked, good flavor and smokiness. Cheese also goes insane when it's piping hot. Horchata was also very nice. Not overwhelmingly strong but very refreshing with the meat and by itself too. There may be a line at night but it goes by super quick. Definitely coming back after I finish my leftovers tomorrow.

This food truck is a true staple in North Houston. I've been here easily over 30 times, and they…read moreconsistently serve some of the most authentic, fresh tacos in the city. It's also a huge plus that they're open late, perfect for those late-night cravings. The green sauce is incredible, and I always go for the fajita quesadillas, they never miss. Pricing is fair for the quality you get, so no complaints there. Just keep in mind it's cash only, no cards or online payments. The lines are almost always long no matter the time of day, but they move quickly, so the wait isn't bad. I usually grab a pink lemonade as well, which hits every time. Out of all the locations, El Taconazo is definitely the one to go to, hands down some of the best tacos you'll find on Fulton St.

Loved this place! It's inside a market and it's super tight and crowded. FYI they only speak…read moreSpanish, no English at all. One of my friends took me here and we all got to try a lot of stuff. We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.

I ordered takeout so can't speak on the dine-in experience…read more I tried the lamb taco, fish taco, chips and medium salsa w/ a side of habanero queso, and a horchata. The flavor of the horchata was good; it tasted a bit watered down but that's on me for not picking up my food immediately. The tacos were filled generously with meat and toppings, and both were super yummy with the accompanying salsas. The chips were thin which is my preference with tortilla chips. The salsa was smooth and the queso was good with a little kick of spice. Everything was pretty good and filling and everything was packed very well.

There's a parking lot, but we went on the weekend, and while the interior didn't look overly full, it was somewhat difficult to find a parking spot. The restaurant itself is clean. Everything is pretty much green and white. There's covered patio seating. You order from a window and there's a large menu printed nearby The menu offers all sorts of tacos, meats, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, quesabirras, sides, and even kids meals. You can get beer, margaritas, and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also a breakfast menu The food was good, and it didn't take too long to come out. My main issue was the service. The individual taking orders seemed to have a bit of an attitude and just seemed "over it." Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did! Cheers!!
