Breakfast taco
Dawn B.

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.

Genuinely enjoyed these tacos! It may not look like much from the outside, but the tacos really hit the spot. If you're craving tacos and are in the area, I would highly recommend this place! Simple yet delicious.

This was a hidden gem for me! They have the BEST tacos. I had their breakfast tacos and they were perfect and so tasty. The bacon was crispy which is the way I like it. They are very reasonably priced. I also love the patio area. It is so cute and peaceful. I can't wait to come back

Ordered the barbacoa lunch plate with queso. Very reasonable price. Nice people, delicious food Came in during a peak window as I had to wait in the drive thru line for a little bit with my car sticking out onto the road

I ordered the spicy ground beef nachos. When my food was handed to me, it was heavy! I've never had diced potatoes on nachos but that is a great addition! It was loaded with beef and cheese. 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. Taco Cabana nachos has nothing on Tornado Taco! I can't wait to try more of their menu items!

Three tacos - carnitas, barbacoa, and shredded chicken, so good!

We've already eaten here three times since we arrived in Houston on Friday lol Super tasty food and how awesome is it that they have a drive thru?? Our faves are the barbacoa and shredded chicken tacos, our 2 year old loved her egg and cheese breakfast taco. Will probably be back again before we leave town!

Quesa birria plate

Service is so quick here! They even have a small covered patio in the front to eat as well as a larger covered patio in the back to eat at as well. Prices are fair and portions are big! There is a drive thru also. Food is very good and flavorful! Will come back soon and try more menu items!

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. My friend got the Oliver's breakfast which was a large portion, and she also got a blueberry pancake, which was packed full of blueberries and had a nice crispy edge. 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! Glad to see Oliver's is doing well!

Ate here again yesterday and was a little disappointed in the Veggie Selection. I was craving the…read moreMediterranean sandwich. It didn't taste the same. It contains balsamic marinated mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, feta whip...all on what I think is an herb focaccia. This time, the balsamic was so prominent, I couldn't eat it. Which is saying a lot because I eat lemons like oranges. The liquid also soaked through my bottom piece of bread, making it soggy and inedible. My husband tried the Reuben and it was fantastic. I would definitely come back to order that one. I think I'm gonna have to steer clear of the other, due to inconsistency

This was our first and definitely not our last visit to the toasted yolk. We are from Tulsa…read moreOklahoma and the only thing we have that could approach what the toasted yolk was like was First Watch. The toasted yolk had a very pleasant atmosphere and our server was absolutely fantastic. She was so friendly and explained with great detail any questions we had about the menu. We loved everything about the place. I had a simple breakfast consisting of two eggs over medium, a hashbrowns casserole which was so yummy. Three nice thick pieces of bacon and a biscuit with butter and jelly. I asked for honey for the biscuit and was accommodated. We even loved the mugs they serve their coffee in and actually bought one to take home with us. The menu was varied and had some unique items on it. My wife ordered fruit cup with her meal and the fruit was very fresh and nicely prepared.

Took my mom out to have breakfast at this place (04/28) and it was truly the worst experience. The…read moreservice was terrible, we sat down for 20 minutes before anyone approached us (mind you, place was not that busy to begin with) there was multiple staff members who would just walk by our table but there was a specific waitress with a face mask and long ginger hair who purposely went out of her way to avoid us. She helped the table behind us, in front of us, and even next to us but never once came up to us to even acknowledge us. She just stood there, fixing bottles, made eye contact with me and still chose to pay us no mind. We felt discriminated against considering the fact that she helped every other table but us. I asked for the manager and let her know how we sat there for 20 minutes before anyone greeted/acknowledged us and as an apology we got donuts. I paid attention to every single person who sat down after us and witnessed the difference of how they were being treated compared to us and it just validated how we felt, uncomfortable and awful. We will never go back and if you can take anything from this review, try somewhere else.

Only change would be the fish not be placed directly on the fries due to grease dripping on them. Other than that no changes! Omg and the cake was so good! We were so full we didn't even finish it.

Everytime I come back they have taken one of my usual items off . Thankfully the fries and mustard seed ketchup still hit the spot! I did try the cinnamon roll for the first time today.
