Having been here a handful of times after going to its sibling Tornado Burger for years, this place always hits the spot. Whether its their birria tacos or their street fiesta tacos, it's packed with flavor every time. I will say though, the bold flavor also means it's quite greasy and heavy. They make Taco Bell and Taco Cabana feel like "clean eating". There is some outdoor seating, but I've never seen anyone out there. This is pretty much exclusively drive-thru only. Depending on when you go, there could be no one there or a line wrapped around and out onto Murphy/FM 1092. It is very hole in the wall, so when you come here, you're supporting local business. read more

Why so low? We ordered two items and one was frankly awesome. The chicken taco made with chicken beast. Ordered two and really well done. My friend, she ordered a bowl. Specifically all the veggies no mushroom. Now sauces except guac. Especially no sour cream, no queso or liquid type cheeses. What did we get? Mostly queso with some lettuce. No onions or tomatoes or anything. It was just a bowl of dip at that point. read more

Came here for a quick lunch and let me tell you! The tacos are SO worth it here. The service is great and the employees are nice. The mexican plates are worth it (Barbacoa is what I got). My only issue is that I ordered a side of queso and chips and the queso didn't taste too good (would not recommend) and the chips were stale :/. I would definitely come back for the tacos! read more

Stopped by here since I was in the area for work. The reviews and the foot traffic were promising, but I didn't think it was that great. I ordered one breakfast taco with egg, cheese, potato, and beans. The lady who took my order asked if I wanted mild, spicy, or bold salsa- I went with spicy, which was a green salsa (tomatillo I think?). The taco was kind of bland. I was worried it would be overly salty but it was quite the opposite. The ingredients, however, did taste fresh and of good quality. The tortilla was also very good. The salsa was indeed hot but also lacked flavor. I also got the horchata, which was terrible. It was unbearably sweet and I could hardly taste the cinnamon or rice. Just sugar. read more

The rice was a little dry but the refried beans were good. The queso was decent, lacking a little flavor though. But the shredded chicken burrito... WOW!

Normally good. Today I ordered barbacoa tacos and asked if they included pinions and cilantro with them and I'm guessing Daniel who was taking our order said that they charge a dollar for that. I mentioned that I've never been charged before for cilantro and onions and he asked if I had a receipt to show that. SMH! Ridiculous! Was he looking for a piece of cilantro on the receipt without the extra charge as proof?! read more

On one occasion, a taco was missing from my order, but it was quickly replaced with no issues. This has definitely become a go-to breakfast spot for me and my girls, and I'll continue to return.

There were no naked nachos For $8,99, I feel I got my money's worth! I was able to share with my bf and we still had nachos left over. It's almost like a second meal the next day; tortilla casserole.

Let's start with star of the show... the food* we came to get their birria plate, one burrito, and a beans and rice... The burrito: beef, rice, beans, pico Flavor profile: salt and pepper (very much pepper steak from any Chinese restaurant) just as soft but also oddly chewy... Presentation: burrito was about 2-2.5 inches wide wrapped in a 12 inch flour tortilla a bit on the small side for the price but no complaints other than that. Final take: the flavor of any beef in a Mexican/tex Mex taco spot should not be heavy black pepper and salt... it should have nuance, some garlic paprika even cumin... this had none of that the rice had the color none of the flavor and the beans were flat... Birria plate: beef birria quesadillas, side of rice, side of charro beans* The birria quesadillas: cheese beef birria fried corn tortilla. Flavor profile: grease forward salty but at least had flavor, that being said the flavor wasn't the best, the only saving grace was the hot sauce that I added, the rice was once again disappointing, and the charro beans... one word (mush) Final take: these are almost good, once again the rice and beans fell flat, but they're also the reason I didn't give a 1 star review. Beans and rice: once again... flavorless Final take: my daughter likes the cheese sprinkled on top. Full overview: the service was quick and the person helping was nice, he suggested the steak as the best option... the ambiance was that of a fast food drive through nothing special maybe the patio would be nice to sit at at nighttime... over all this is a far cry from Mexican food and only retains the spirit with the names given to the dishes that look familiar to me but taste nothing like the real article... read more

Stopped by for lunch on a whim and I am glad we did. Had the street tacos with no complaints. The spicy salsa is actually spicy, and the little tacos had plenty of meat (barbacoa, ground beef, pork). The person who took our order was friendly and professional. There is only outdoor seating, so not ideal for hot weather. We sat in the car and enjoyed our meal. Everything was packed neat and we were given plenty of napkins for the mess they knew we would make. read more

Cute place with a heartwarming backstory. Nice and busy for brunch on a Saturday morning!…read more I got the scrambled eggs with chorizo and onions and it was DELISH. Also came with a biscuit and jam, which were average - the biscuit tasted like it might have been from a box or mix rather than scratch? But not sure.

She also ordered hot tea and got to choose her tea bag from a lovely box, which was a cute touch. The only thing I might say is that the owner was a bit brusque/gruff. I understand being businesslike and I know customers can be a pain in the food industry, but his attitude was just not very welcoming I suppose. Still a good experience overall though!

If you stop serving customers at 1:30, then that should be reflected in your business hours. We could have saved ourselves the time and gas driving there. What made it even more frustrating was being told that breakfast was already cut off because they had "sold too much" that day. That was honestly confusing considering this restaurant is known for breakfast, operates during brunch hours, and advertises that it is open until 2:00 PM. We also weren't the only customers being turned away. It was extremely disappointing and felt very unprofessional. If customers arrive during your advertised business hours, they should be able to expect service. We arrived with plenty of time to order, eat, and be finished by closing.

On Sunday, November 3rd, at 7 p.m., Revathi, Vasundhra, Dalia, and Zaida set out for Tornado Taco, a drive-through Mexican spot tucked beside a gas station and across from a CBD shop in Stafford. The neighborhood was gritty, but Tornado Taco's rustic charm, with its twinkling fairy lights and open patio, offered a distinct vibe. Still, the lack of indoor seating and the sounds of sirens and frogs in the background made for a somewhat unusual dining ambiance. Revathi ordered a chicken burrito, packed with seasoned chicken, rice, beans, cheese, and fresh pico de gallo. She loved the balance of flavors and the spice level, rating the food a solid 9/10, though the ambiance dimmed her experience to an overall 6.5/10. Dalia went with the birria tacos, complete with consommé, onions, and cilantro. The consommé was richly seasoned but a bit oily, while the tacos themselves had great flavor, even without cheese, earning the meal an 8.5/10. Vasundhra tried the Mexican plate with shredded chicken, corn tortillas, seasoned potatoes, and queso. The shredded chicken was the highlight, but she found the queso a little "plasticky," giving the food a 7/10. Zaida ordered street tacos with horchata, and she had to wait for her drink to come with the food. She enjoyed the tacos' authentic flavors, rating her experience a 7/10 overall. In the end, Tornado Taco offered an intriguing mix of high-quality food in a fast-food-style setup. The outdoor-only seating was unique, but the surroundings detracted a bit from the experience. Still, for diners open to adventure, Tornado Taco has a bit of terrific tucked into its tacos. Final rating? A 3.5/5 for bold flavors with a side of rustic charm. read more

I absolutely love the food and the service--it's consistently excellent, and every time I visit, I'm impressed by the quality and flavors. The dishes are always fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection, making each bite a delightful experience. What really sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding service. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcomed. The combination of top-notch food and exceptional service makes it a place I'd happily return to every day if I could. It's rare to find a place that consistently delivers such a high level of satisfaction, and I always leave feeling truly satisfied. read more

Living literally across the street from this restaurant I didn't try it until they started taking credit cards since I always order for my office or for monthly meetings . I always get my tacos and burritos from Solis but my neighbors told me how good their tacos are so I decide to try them, way better than taco cabana and solis. They have a real green hot sauce and real eggs on their tacos. Burritos are awesome !!!!! Can't find them nowhere in Houston eggs, potatoes, bacon, chorizo, japs and cheese and add the green sauce inside is my breakfast every day. Thanks tornado taco for your great food and fast and friendly service read more

Tornado Taco was a great find. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast, which I really appreciated. My tacos were well seasoned and not skimpy on portions, and everything tasted made to order. The staff was welcoming and the vibe was relaxed and easy, perfect for a quick lunch or casual stop after work. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. read more

This is my favorite breakfast taco place!!!! I've been coming here for 7 years and I can't get enough of it. Their salsa is so amazing even though it gets super spicy , I just can't stop eating it. My favorite meal is the traditional burrito with the spicy ground beef just in case you like to try it, don't forget to make it WET!!!! I'll be back for it read more

The breakfast tacos are bomb; always hot and fresh. My favorite is the sausage, egg, and cheese taco. They also have good salsas to pair with the tacos. Only downside is that there is always a long line for the drive through and the cash only rule. Other than those two downsides I would recommend this to anyone who loves breakfast tacos! read more

This place has probably some of the worst breakfast tacos I have ever had! I had charizo and egg and my boyfriend had barbacoa. My taco was extremely bland, there hot sauce couldn't even help! In his taco there was probably more cilantro than there was meat! Definitely would NOT Recommend this place to anyone!!!!! read more

Why a 4 star. To make a point. The drive thru is quick and the food is what I expect and a bargain. Sure the person at the drive thru May not be the most conversational, but if I am looking for conversation I need to go elsewhere. But for a good WARM breakfast burrito FAST, this place is great. read more

Their breakfast tacos are wonderful, but the thing that kept me coming back again and again was the Steak Crack burrito. I was raised in San Diego, and this burrito immediately took me back home!! Its a near perfect replication of the famous carne asada burritos you get from small taquerias read more

We opted to sit outside but it actually got too cold for us with the breeze coming through the side of the building. The queso is top notch and the tacos are on point and consistent with other locations. I'm sure we will be back in the near future.

The chicken tenders were also very disappointing as they were the frozen ones from any supermarket it seemed. On the other hand, our server was very delightful! He was helpful and attentive. He was also as honest about his favorites as he could be so that was really nice. The place was pretty empty for the time of day we went which was typical rush hour time for most places so maybe that was a hint but my nephew had just graduated and that's where he wanted to go. Overall it was just ok. Not a very memorable experience but I think if they omitted a few of the items on the menu and just focus on great burgers, fries, onion rings and maybe a good chicken sandwich things could be very different. The place is nice and inviting and honestly the name of the place says "burgers and milkshakes" to me.

From the counter where they still take your order by pen and paper (and where you can see the incredibly fresh produce on the prep tables in the kitchen), to the tables and booths, and the red and yellow ketchup and mustard bottles.

We got two burger combos, which came with thick crinkle fries and a drink, plus an order of onion rings to share. The burger was great...patty was well-seasoned, and the toppings were crispy fresh. The fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. But the onion rings stole the show. Having worked at burger places before and having made hand battered onion rings firsthand, I can attest these were legit. Batter was perfect, onions cut thick where you can still feel the texture and taste the sweetness. I'll say it now...best in the greater Houston area. We live no where close to this place.

The place is not much to look at, just a counter with a kitchen behind it, but looks aren't everything. There's a handful of ladies working various areas in the little kitchen, making tortillas, cooking eggs and proteins, running the cash register, chopping onions & cilantro, etc. The tacos here are great. I was grabbing breakfast tacos, so I went with chorizo and egg, bacon and egg, and potato and egg. The chorizo and egg was solid, but the thick cut, crispy bacon in the other taco was the one that really impressed me. My wife enjoyed her potato & egg and chorizo & egg tacos as well. Each one came with a little salsa container with more than enough for a single medium taco. I'd normally be giving a place like this 5 stars based on the service, price, and experience, but came back here a couple of weeks later and found that it was closed on a Saturday with no sign or explanation. The guy working the gas station side told us that they shut down for multiple days around the holidays but didn't seem to have any idea of specifically when other than that they would definitely be back the following Monday.
