Flour and corn tortillas
Lourdes O.

So I'm driving by and see balloons, hear mariachi music, lots of people and realized it was a grand opening. I decide to stop and check it out, you know who doesn't like fresh tortillas? I see that they sell fresh corn and flour tortillas but they also sell food. So I think to myself why not? It's lunch time! So I buy a bunch of stuff to try. Tortillas of course, barbacoa, carnitas, rice, charro beans, agua fresca. Gosh I was hungry! I get home super excited to try everything and what a disappointment. The rice was dry, the carnitas were extremely fat and almost had no flavor, the salsa was super watery, sad. The only good thing was the barbacoa and the tortillas. I spent around $45 + on all these food and I'm not expecting anything other than good Mexican food. But nope, what a shame..

Two carnita and one barbacoa(couldnt wait and ate one before i got a picture) green sauces onions n cilantro and red sauce in bag.

Was craving some sort of street tacos and i remember this place had some so decided to go check them out with my friend. We get there go inside and immediately get greeted and was explain about their tortillas and food they sell then offer a small taco of barbacoa and 3 different salsa to choose from and wow was i impressed absolutely delicious the meat was juice and had great flavor the tortilla was to die for soft but firm enough to hold the juice meat and i tried the green sauce and it was perfect. I ended up ordering 4 carnita tacos and 4 barbacoa so that i could share with my boyfriend at home plus a large horchata it was so taste im not sure if they make it out of rice or powder but my guess was rice because it didnt have that grainy taste to it. Came home and it was still perfectly hot and the tortilla held up nicely even with the juice of the meat. It came with the green sauce in a little container their super spicy red sauce in a sealed bag and some onions and cilantro in another sealed zip lock looking bag which i thought was nice i will say tho i wished they had more cliantro in the bag than onions tho and some limes in another bag. The barbacoa tacos were my favorite i have to say unfortunately the carnita tacos were dry but the lime and sauces help it a bit. Im definitely wanting to go back and try their tubed cremas that they had for sales in the front cooler and they flour tortillas as well. All in all well done definitely have a returning customer here.

Barbacoa, carnitas, chicharrones, salsa and homemade corn tortillas.

Very good barbacoa and homemade tortillas. Good selection of Mexican food to go. Great service and friendly staff.

Barbacoa taco on flour tortilla and chicken taco with corn tortilla slow cooked to perfection.

WOW the food was so good!! The restaurant is very lively with Spanglish everywhere, making it easy…read moreto order and understand the menu in English while maintaining an authentic feel. The food was phenomenal -- specifically, the carne asada. There is usually a line to order and then it's first come first serve for seating, making it a bit challenging but very worth it! Once you sit down, they bring chicharrones to your table and they'll yell out your name when your order is ready and you raise your hand for them to bring the food to you. We also enjoyed some aguas frescas on a hot summer day and the churros were a perfect dessert! I will absolutely be coming back next time I'm in town, and hopefully the weather is a bit cooler so we can enjoy the patio.

While visiting family in Houston we were excited to come across a "real" Mexican (as opposed to Tex-Mex...iykyk) taco shop. As soon as you walk in and see the Tijuana and Baja Mexico signs and decor you know you're in the right place. There's an open kitchen, allowing you to watch your carne being grilled on the open-flame grill. That charged meat smell is heavenly! Their guac is chunky and simple (nothing too fancy), hot sauces are tasty (and they have a kick!), tortillas are thin but strong -- holding the goods in just right. It's also nice that they have complimentary tasty, crispy pork rinds -- as opposed to the standard chips & salsa. Portions are ample! They definitely don't skimp -- tons of meat and guac in their tacos and huge, meaty burritos! Prices are fair, especially for what you get! Their dining room is a tad small, but it's very clean and the a/c is good...there's also a nice patio outside. Service was swift and friendly. Food was good. A/C was poppin'. Parking was plentiful. All in all I have to admit that Tacos Frontera comes as close to good San Diego Mexican food as you can get...they would definitely be able to hold their own in San Diego!

Definitely a taste of home outside of San Diego and Tijuana. Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well. Service was fast and friendly. Tacos and burritos were hefty and full of flavor. Ample parking. So glad that my family from San Diego (who I know get real Mexican taco shop cravings) can get a taste of home right in their Houston backyard!

I have been a customer of the Taco Fuego food truck in Katy for over a year and have always enjoyed…read morethe food and service. Unfortunately, my experience yesterday was so unacceptable that I will never return. When placing my order, the employee taking my order appeared intoxicated. His eyes were drooping and closing, he repeatedly paused, mumbled, and seemed to struggle entering my order. Although this was concerning, I chose to overlook it and waited patiently. After about 10 minutes, I simply returned to ask whether my order had been placed and if it was ready. I was not upset, in a hurry, or complaining. I only wanted confirmation that my order existed because the employee kept responding, "No orders, no orders," despite me showing him my receipt. Due to an apparent language barrier, I called my Hispanic husband and handed the employee my phone so he could ask the same simple question in Spanish. Instead of helping, the employee began yelling at my husband. Another employee joined in, and both started yelling while walking away with my phone. When the phone was returned, I still had no idea what had happened or whether my order was being prepared. The situation escalated for no reason. The employees began yelling at me, aggressively slammed the service windows shut, ignored me, and treated me as if I had done something wrong. I remained calm throughout the entire interaction and repeatedly stated that there was no problem--I simply wanted to know if my order had been placed. Eventually, the food was thrown together carelessly, shoved into a bag, and handed to me with obvious hostility. The food quality was terrible, and the customer service was even worse. What disappointed me most was that this entire situation was completely unnecessary. I was respectful, patient, and simply asking a basic question. The combination of an employee who appeared intoxicated, the aggressive and unprofessional behavior from both employees, and the poor quality of the food made this one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. I cannot recommend this location and will not be returning.

I think this was just a really bad day for all employees involved. I'll leave the below for…read moreveracity but want to include my previous stuff anyway. I've gotten the food here a few times over the last few years but the service my wife received today was ridiculous and unprofessional. Antonio was present and can vouch for what happened. My wife approached, looked at the menu, and called for my order. At that time the man in the truck pulled the tip jar in behind the window and then moved away from the window when my wife tried to order. Another person (antonio) had to take my wife's order. Bad enough. After she ordered and went to wait in the car a hispanic young man arrived, the same guy put the tip jar back out and took his order with no issue. We won't be back. We go out of our way to support food trucks and the birria ramen is good enough. The guys in the truck are even fighting, slamming items, and throwing things at each other in front of customers. This is at 3:20 PM on June 16th. One of the guys is/was bleeding and this is just a bad day all around. The food is good, the meat is always savory and juicy. Really depends on who you get cooking. Either way I don't appreciate how my wife was treated and I want to believe this was just a bad day. Things to consider. Good atmosphere and solid food truck experience.

They do have a happy hour on their margaritas and they do serve breakfast I decided to try their fried shrimp and fish platter, which was their daily special and it was good. It was freshly made, very tasty, and you got a lot for your money. The breading on the fish and shrimp, was like a cornmeal batter. We also had one of their bigger burritos and it was stuffed. They did not skimp on any of the food and add-ons to this burrito. What are the nice things about this restaurant was due to my food allergies I had some questions and they were so kind and friendly. They answered every question I needed and I felt like they cared about my food allergies. I do think they need to expand their menu a little bit as far as some foods without so many spices in it and other items for people like me who do you have the food allergies but this will not stop me from coming back. I want to try their breakfast because it looked phenomenal. If you were looking for a smaller quaint, Mexican restaurant, with sports on TVs and really good deals on margaritas, this is the place for you. Or
