    Stopped by for some breakfast tacos around 8 am. Tacos were prepared quickly and they were good. Staff was nice. It was easy to get in and out of the parking lot even with a good stream of drive-through customers. My favorite part of the meal was the sauces. I love heat and their sauces have a lot.

    Decent spot! My boyfriend and I used a BOGO coupon for a burrito, so we ordered the carnitas--and it was delicious. The wait time was only about 5-10 minutes, which was great. I'd definitely come back.

    I'm giving 3 stars because, honestly, the food is really good. I always get the chicken burrito, it's literally one of my favorite items on the menu, along with queso and chips. Delicious every time. However, the customer service at this location has been disappointing, especially compared to my visit yesterday. I ordered online both days, so all I needed to do was pick up my order at the window. Yesterday, the guy who handed me my food didn't greet me, no big deal, but he also didn't say thank you, have a nice day, or anything. I asked for sauce, and instead of grabbing it, he just pointed toward the door and closed the window. That was... wow. Okay, "thanks!" I came back today because, again, the food is that good. But now I see why maybe I shouldn't have. I stood at the pickup window for nearly two minutes, like seriously 2 minutes, with no acknowledgment. A lady came to the window, started preparing orders right in front of me, but didn't say a word. She looked at the screen, bagged items, and ignored me completely. Then another employee came up and talked to her, also without offering any help. If this is how the establishment is going to operate, I won't be back. The food is great, but I'd rather spend my money somewhere I'm actually acknowledged when I'm standing right in front of you. Third time won't be a charm for me.

    All the seeds of the poblano pepper in the taco. Don't order this it's will give you indigestion.

    Don't order the poblano taco, they cut up the entire poblano pepper WITH seeds and throw it in the taco. That's not the way a "rajas" poblano taco should be made, seeds should be removed and only skin.

    Ordered 3 barbacoa on flour (which I paid extra for). Received 1 barbacoa and 2 whatever those are on what tastes like corn tortillas. Super disappointed. Only liked the barbacoa one...

    Amazing experience at The Taco Stand Heights! I've tried the Webster and now this location, and I can say the quality of the food and the recipes are consistent and I love that. The staff was amazing so welcoming, and service was quick and efficient. Great atmosphere on the patio. We tried the queso, it was so good! With crispy nachos. We also had their special which is a Gordita filled with carne asada, queso and beans, spectacular! Reminded me of a torta, but tortilla instead of bread. We also had the quesabirria which is my favorite item in their menu, great birria, melty cheese and crispy tortillas, it is a must. The carnitas were delicious! And the suadero amazing just melts in your mouth. We love love the homemade tortillas! Very happy customer, The Taco stand never lets down!

    Hard to rate - first time there today was for takeout for their steak quesadillas that was buy one get one free! The restaurant itself is really nice. The quesadillas were pretty average. Good in size but not the most flavor. Wouldn't get them again, but would go back to try their tacos.

    If you're looking for a quick, easy, casual and yummy bite...this is the place. Perfect sized street tacos with authentic flavors! Easy to go salsas and prices are around $4/taco, so in line with other restaurants. It's a pay at the front, pick up and take your basket to the trash type place!

    The customer service here is unbeatable. Anytime we've had an issue someone has stepped in and made it right. That is much appreciated.

    Great job

    Joel was very nice and attentive great customer Service I will come back for great service

    Grilled fish, the only taco I don't recommend
    Shelby L.

    Is $5 for a taco a bit expensive? Yes. Is theirs absolutely worth it? Also yes. The only taco I don't recommend is their grilled fish taco. The fish is overcooked and not having a creamy sauce makes it kind of bland and the salsas available don't compliment it well. The quesadillas are just phenomenal. Every other filling I've had is very good, and the campechano (pork, chicharron, and chorizo) is especially decadent. Pollo, carne asada, and guac are also so good. The nopales is a bit rawer than I'm accustomed to but it's good. The salsa bar is also the bomb, I especially love the smoky & spicy Arbol and don't forget to grab some pickles, the garlic and carrots are

    I love this new addition to the joint stand place family. We got there just in time before the rush. The patio was perfect and the horchata was refreshing after a long day. Ordered three tacos but two did the job for sure. The shrimp was seasoned well and brisket was super tender. The corn tortillas didn't apart and salsa options are appreciated. Even the pickled veggies. The guacamole was flavorful too. Will definitely be back for a late night craving

    Jackeline R.

    Tried this place out to catch up with some friend, the environment was nice especially for a friday night, they have tvs and were playing the astros game! The torta was very flavorful, specially paired with their jalapeño salsa. My friends tried the quesabirria which they enjoyed and we shared the chips and queso! Parking lot is limited though.
