    Tongue Taco
    Tom L.

    I've had plenty of tacos in my life and you gotta go to traditional homestyle authentic family oriented taco restaurant so when you compare, fast food chain or major chain taco restaurant it's just not the same, but I will admit the taco stand in my opinion is one of the best authentic like hence the word authentic like taco restaurant. The dining room is ultra clean and what I love is that you have as much salsa as you want. I hate when I go to a restaurant and ask for extra salsa I get a side eye or extra charge so to get as much salsa as I want, ultra plus. The Taco Stand reminds me of Torchy's Tacos, the similar type of vibe but The Taco Stand has better food especially the flour tortilla, in my opinion, it taste homemade. Chips and queso one of the best, it's extra creamy, tacky, and the house chips are thick so it can hold up to a little tension to dip the cheese. The lengua taco is incredible, capital T for tender!Love the crispy cuts of tongue, and I took a picture of it so you could see you got bits of it and I love how when you bite into the taco, especially with the handmade flour tortilla, it's a great bite one bite experience, and the best part, I had 3 bites on the taco. Great fish tacos, they come fried or grilled and I always go for the fried. It has a light tempura like batter extremely light crispy and the white fish taste a little sweet. Love the fresh pico on the top and I would say the corn tortilla in my opinion is a little too thick. You know it's a thick corn tortilla if you stack 2 corn tortillas on top of each other, it's even thicker than that. Not my style but still yummy, I ended up with just 1 corn and that was fine for me. The taco stand is a must try. You're not going to be disappointed.

    Love this place for breakfast. Specially knowing that you can order breakfast bowls with so many add ons. Super clean place and friendly staff.

    We stopped in to The Taco Stand for dinner on a Friday night. We parked to eat in and saw the drive-thur lines looked very organized. You order at the window outside (don't worry it is coved, but it could be hot while waiting in line in the summer). If you order a margarita (I got frozen with tajin rim), they grab your drink while you are completing payment. You get a buzzer for your order and pick a seat inside or outside. We sat inside. The salsa options were plenty and my favorite was the jalapeno (light bright green color). Also available at the salsa bar are fresh limes, pickled carrot & jalapeno mix, white onions, and cilantro. To the left of the salsas is the trash station and to the right is the fountain drink station. Food: we each ordered two and it was too much for us since we ordered chips & queso. The chips were the thick type (good & crunchy, but extra filling) and the queso was green chile. All of the food was ready at the same time (next time I may order appetizer & drink, then place 2nd order for food). Tacos: I ordered mushroom (cremini) on corn and chile on flour. Both were good (too much for me and I took some togo), however by the time I started on them after enjoying chips & queso, the tortillas were soggy. He ordered a spicy pork belly and pollo. He didn't care for either of them, but did finish the pollo. Both were greasy and a little soggy. I'll give them another shot, the margaritas definitely are worth the trip!

    Bacon and egg taco

    The bacon and egg taco is mostly egg. Also, the cashier was rude. Torchy's bacon and egg taco is better and the workers are friendly. It's located nearby.

    Pastor and asada

    For a chain taco place this place is pretty legit! I got tacos de asada, pastor and pescado. The asada and pastor were very well flavored and they are not skimpy with the meat at all. My fish taco was ok, the big pieces of fish were a little dry and it would be nice if they had like a chipotle crema for the salsa bc salsa doesn't quite cut it. Overall good service, clean, and a good experience.

    We were super hungry and trying to find a good spot on our way to Galveston from IAH, so we decided to stop at The Taco Stand. We're already huge fans of the original San Diego locations, so we had to check this one out... and honestly, it far exceeded our expectations. First off, Melissa was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She made us feel welcome right away and helped us get exactly what we wanted. The service alone was worth the stop. And despite the name, this place is definitely not just a "taco stand." It's pristine, spotless, and beautifully set up and way nicer than we expected, even compared to San Diego. The food was fresh, flavorful, and everything we hoped for after a long travel day. They even make their own tortillas which is a huge plus for us. We left full, happy, and totally impressed. Highly recommend. We come to Galveston yearly or more so we'll absolutely make this our traditional stop

    Decided to give them another try. Food was perfectly seasoned this time! I went thru the drive thru and service was amazing! Portions were very generous.

    Food was excellent!!! Great Burrito! I had The Gringo with carne asada and added guacamole. Service was also great. We ate out on the patio. This needs some attention. Bird poop everywhere. On the televisions, seats, tables, walls, and floor. There were clean tables to sit at but definitely an area that needs some TLC.

    I recently had my first visit to El Jefe, in Webster, Texas. I was primarily looking through yelp…read morefor a good restaurant that served Tex-Mex, and this was the first restaurant that popped up in my area with an "excellent" rating. As I write this review, this restaurant currently has a rating of 4.6 stars with 120 reviews. Before coming, I also reviewed several pictures that other folks have posted on yelp, and I thought I'd give this place a try. After driving by the front of the restaurant and pulling into the parking lot, I started to have second thoughts about coming here. From the outside, it certainly did not appear to be a location worthy of an excellent rating on yelp. Still, I trusted the yelp community, and I decided to come inside. Boy, the yelp community was right on this one! This is one of those restaurants that is excellent, but you wouldn't know it unless you gave it a try. Immediately after entering, I decided to take a seat at one of their tables in a corner. Just after sitting down, a gentleman came over and delivered some fresh chips and two kinds of salsa. My waitress came over shortly thereafter and introduced herself. Her name was Marcella (sp?). She was friendly and professional throughout my experience here, and she was patient with me in explaining some of the items on their menu. After reviewing their menu and eating a bunch of their chips and salsa (which are ridiculously good), I decided what I wanted. I ordered the "Quesabirria w/Consome," with beef, which are 4 birria and cheese tacos, served with onion, cilantro, pickled onion, radish, and special spicy salsa. I ordered a Coca-Cola along with my dinner order. I definitely made the right choice for my meal. They were generous in filling my tacos with a bunch of shredded beef, and they were amazingly good. My soda was refreshing as well. In my opinion, this is a better place for authentic Mexican food rather than Americanized Mexican food. After my meal, my waitress said that she is giving me some of their dessert for free since this was my first time here. She was very kind, and an excellent waitress. Overall, I did have an excellent experience here, just as so many others have had. This was a reminder for me that sometimes I need to just trust the yelp community, and most often a high yelp rating is high for a valid reason. If you're in the area, you should give this place a try. In addition to this review, be sure to check out all my pictures if you'd like to get more detail on this location, some of which are attached to this review.

The staff is super friendly and the dining room feels very "Mom and Pop." I think they had a dance floor on the other side of the bar. We didn't check. The parking lot is very rough but don't let that scare you off. Come for a great authentic Mexican meal.

This counter-order joint is roomy, with a slew of arcade claw games lining the wall. I've been to Japan, and arcades such as this are a huge thing there, though they usually don't combine restaurants and arcade games. Perhaps they do in Korea? I digress though, because this is a fun, clean interior, and the service is polite and efficient. We had Korean Chicken Fried Rice, Shrimp Udon and an order of Spreggrolls. Everything was delicious, and there was seriously enough for another meal or two. The chicken was nicely cooked with a sweet/spicy sauce. Same for the shrimp. These guys also do an outstanding job with their rice, which is almost served al dente. The spreggrolls, which are a fusion of fried egg rolls and cold spring rolls, stole the show for me however. It's such a simple idea, yet no one (else) seems to have thought of it. These folks have a huge menu, and I look forward to making my way through it.
