    Taco de barbacoa & Taco Pastor
    Paul P.

    I drove to Hempstead from Round Rock this morning and happened to pass this place as I was leaving town. The line of people at the side window of this converted school bus was what caught my attention. I reasoned that if this many people lined up to order food in a small town, the food had to be good. I used to manage Mexican restaurants so I tend to be a food snob when it comes to Mexican food. I ordered a Taco de barbacoa and a Taco Pastor. I ordered both with Pico de Gallo, extra cilantro, and onions. The barbacoa was one of the best street tacos I've had. The meat was spiced to perfection and there was just enough juice to make it moist but not so much that it saturated my tortillas. I asked for tortillas de maíz and they tasted like they were home made. The blend of flavors topped by goat cheese was out of this world. I was equally pleased with the Taco Pastor. The third item I ordered was a Gordita de carne. The pouch was a little greasy but the flavor was delicious. The only problem is that they don't have a location in Round Rock.

    Delicious food with incredibly low prices. Super friendly and worth it to go a bit off the beaten path.

    All ways consistent. Food hot, fresh, tasty, and fast. If you are in the area and want street tacos, stop by.

    First of all, upon entering the restaurant, we immediately noticed a very strong and unpleasant…read moreodor. It smelled like mold, old cheese, or possibly dirty mop water, which made for a very poor first impression. Unfortunately, the experience only got worse from there. The food was some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The quality and flavor were extremely disappointing. The service was also poor. Our server came back to our table several times to ask about our order, yet it was still prepared incorrectly. Overall, between the unpleasant smell, disappointing food, and poor service, this was a very disappointing dining experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant. WORST FOOD/SERVICE DO NOT RECOMMEND Spanish Primero que nada, al entrar al restaurante notamos de inmediato un olor muy fuerte y desagradable. Olía a moho, queso viejo o incluso a agua sucia de trapeador, lo que nos dio una muy mala primera impresión. Desafortunadamente, la experiencia solo empeoró a partir de ahí. La comida fue, sin duda, una de las peores comidas mexicanas que he probado. La calidad y el sabor fueron extremadamente decepcionantes. El servicio también fue muy malo. Nuestro mesero regresó a nuestra mesa varias veces para preguntarnos sobre nuestra orden y, aun así, la prepararon incorrectamente. En general, entre el mal olor, la comida decepcionante y el pésimo servicio, fue una experiencia muy mala y definitivamente no recomendaría este restaurante.

    They stop caring about the food preparation. The orders are always wrong and thrown together.read more

    We had the best experience here yesterday.

My husband asked to be reseated and the hostess was so sweet and apologetic. She made us feel way comfortable about the move and then we also had a delightful server Marissa. The food was great and our guest who'd never been to LT had a great meal. TY to the staff who were very nice and hospitable. Not a lot of welcoming atmospheres in large restaurants these days. It was a great lunch and a super turn around for a rough start. Also it was hard to find your location bc the yelp address is wrong. Someone at corporate needs to google houston. Maybe ask for local help bc I didn't see this location on google either. That's a bad mistake bc people are driving thru and missing this location!! The only reason 4 stars is to get corporate moving on the address change. The map address you have is in Hempstead. That's FAR from cypress. I was actually afraid the location was closed where you are. Not a fun drive (30 min) hoping the restaurant is actually open. Marissa and the local staff are A++++ even the chef came out to check our food was good (love the brunch items!)
