Ordered 10 beef fajita tacos w/ cilantro & onion , 5 on corn/ 5 on flour . All of them were delicious and packed with meat. Hooked us up with limes and hot sauce. My only criticism is the hot sauce was not hot, neither the green nor the red were spicy. It won't take the place of my favorite taco truck but if I'm in the area I would come back here.

I had the Tacos Al Pastor and they were delicious. The service was super fast. Make sure you understand that this is not a restaurante, it's kind of a food truck

I got the fajita with corn tortillas tacos, very delicious and the gentleman that helped me was very polite and helpful

Not good at all unless you're drunk from across the street. Horrible horrible service just amazed at how horrible

Great tacos at a great price would recommend. Authentic Mexican not the typical Tex-Mex I was expecting.

Fast service. Chicken and barbacoa tacos were dry. Id rate these as mediocre. I make better ones at home so not worth $2.50.

A Houston staple. It's close by to the Alabama Ice House so grabbing a taco and then getting a drink is a pretty classic Houston activity. Tacos are reasonably priced and flavorful--my favorite is the barbacoa taco.

The tacos were simply fabulous. I went with the Pastor and it was some of the very very best I have had. Absolutely top notch

Easy to miss this small taco truck which is situated just right off a corner of a convenience store. Parking may be a challenge but street parking should be fairly easy to find if you avoid the lunch rush. I tried the Pastor and Fajita tacos. The Pastor was really tasty, I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, the Fajita was a little dry. Tacos are pretty small but for $2.50 each, you can't beat a cheap taco. They accept card or cash.

Best bang for your buck! The Gorditas, delicious,. The tacos, more please, the chicken quesadillas, perfection! fast, easy, and well priced to fill your belly from a taco truck or (feed your beer baby) from the neighboring ice house on W. Alabama.

Nut allergy friendly, I never even ask. I don't know how I haven't left a review for this fantastic taco truck yet. I've been going here for years, whether it's bringing someone from out of town for authentic tacos or grabbing a PBR at West Alabama Ice House with some tacos. The price has gone up over the years, but their green sauce is still fantastic and the tacos are delicious.

Definitely one of those spots with an inflated score. I mean, the tacos are fine, the folks working there get them out quickly, and they're still cheap, but it just isn't 4.5*/1k+ review material here. Others have suggested the hype is due to folks coming out of nearby bars looking for quick cheap eats to soak away a hangover, and that makes sense. If I were in the immediate area and had a hankering for tacos, coming here would be 50/50 for me.

there are no legible signs for menu items and or prices, she had no beans, no rice, no English speaking employee, very dirty area... went to try some Carne Asada or pastor tacos with beans and rice and she acted like I should've never even went there like I was in the wrong place the wrong neighborhood "OK you don't need my money then"- will not return
