Me and my friend love going to food halls when we visit new cities, so we came across The Conservatory, which also happened to be across the street from our hotel, so it was perfect! I ended up going to Blk Mkt Birria, because I was craving soupy noodles, so was so happy to see I could get birria ramen. I was very impressed overall! As you can see, they piled on the meat, and it was so tender. I also loved how much toppings they gave you. The service was also good and the food was ready pretty quickly. The food hall had ample seating as well. read more

Blk Mkt Birria - The Conservatory - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

Birria Ramen was served in a SHIN Ramen bowl. I felt so cheated. This dish was so spicy. I could only taste the broth after it cooled down. They didn't explain it on the menu. Ugh. My other end will be crying tomorrow because it was too spicy. The vegan protein is cauliflower. Eh? It's located at a food hall. Seatings are downstairs and outside. Don't order too many things or you have to go back to get them. read more

Let me tell you, I rolled into BLK MKT BIRRIA ready for some top-notch tacos... but what I got was more like a long pit stop that didn't quite pay off. Now don't get me wrong--the tacos? They've got some solid flavor. Nice little kick, good richness... they're doing their job. But here's where things start to wobble a bit. I waited 25 minutes... and here's the kicker--they weren't even busy. I had one order in front of me. One. That's not a line, that's a suggestion. And after all that, I dropped about 30 bucks for four mini street tacos and a bottled soda. At that price and that wait, you're expecting something that'll knock your boots clean off. But this is Houston, Texas. You can pull up to a gas station food truck, spend a fraction of that, and get tacos that'll make you sit in your truck for a minute just to process how good they are. Now if you're stuck in the area, no transportation, and your stomach's raising a full-blown protest--and money's not a concern--they'll absolutely scratch that taco itch. But if you're out here looking for the best street tacos Houston's got to offer... Well... if you're paying $30 for four tiny tacos and waiting 25 minutes with only one person ahead of you... you might be in Houston--but you ain't eating like it. read more

Wow! Fried cauliflower birria with pickled onions, fresh purple onion, cilantro, cucumbers and consommé. Im not a fan of corn but I ordered it to taste. Had a lot of the sauce but other than that, it was good. The fried cauliflower birria was loaded with cauliflower! Good amount of seasoning. I could only eat two pieces and Ive been fasting for 24 hours each day for the past two days. read more

Blk Mkt Birria - The Conservatory - I had the taco Tuesday deal and it was perfect. - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm back again at Conservatory Hall for the birria tacos that completely go against the diet changes I'm trying to make, at least for the next month. But after leaving a block party, this is exactly what I was craving. The juiciness of the barbacoa, the spicy green sauce, the fresh veggies. I love how messy it all is. It was exactly what I needed at 10 o'clock at night . Does my body hate me for it? Maybe. Is my heart happy? Absolutely. After reading a few reviews, I started to wonder if I might be overpaying. The Super Queso Birria comes with four large pieces, and they are hefty. I still don't quite know what the going rate is for quality birria, so more research is needed on my part. But in that moment, it hit the spot. It was just as consistent and flavorful as I remembered from the first time I tried it. They also got my order out really fast. I placed it through the kiosk, sat down for a second to crowd-watch the Saturday night scene at Conservatory Hall, and within five minutes I got a text letting me know it was ready. Now, was it cooked completely fresh? I don't know. Maybe they already had some items prepped. But nonetheless, it delivered. I liked it. read more

Ordered the birria tacos and found them just overwhelming. It just pure grease, meat, and cheese. One bite and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. The flavor was pretty good. The birria was soft but it was just one of those things that seem tasty on instagram but is farrr too much in real life. read more

Reviewing for their Taco Tuesday deal, and it's a solid 4 stars! With a 5 taco minimum order, you get each birria taco for $1, and each comes with two mini corn tortillas and a little mountain of super tender barbacoa. The fresh cilantro, chopped onions, pickled onions, radish slices, and lime wedge make things extra pretty. The tacos were definitely oily and the birria soup / consommé that came with the tacos was quite salty. They tasted great by themselves (or with the included green sauce too), and we ended up not using the consommé on the side at all. For $5, the Taco Tuesday is a winner! The worker was very friendly, and they actually will call you when your order is ready (instead of texting or having a buzzer), so check back with them if you get random calls. We'll have to revisit their menu next time-- really glad we tried this place on a Tuesday! Free parking upfront or in the back (shaded garage). Seating is spread out over the conservatory, so it's easy to find a nook to enjoy your taco platter with friends or in peace :) read more

Horrible customer service. I have been trying to speak to the manger for two months now for an event. He confirms but then has gone completely quiet. I was extremely excited about having them be apart of my event, but now- I am just heart broken. read more

First time at Blk Market Birria and let me tell you, these tacos are fire . I literally could have eaten multiple rounds. The meat is extremely tender and the broth I could drink. I will definitely be back again and again. read more

What an experience... I came to this place mainly because of the fact that they had a taco tuesday deal and I was excited to try it. It's located in The Conservatory Galleria and it was very pretty in the inside with other food vendors/restaurants. I can't tell you about the service as I used the kiosk to order but the staff was nice to those who had questions about the menu. I paid around ~$20 for 15 birria tacos; 10 without cheese and 5 with cheese. I knew that the tacos were going to be small because it's for a taco tuesday deal but I didn't expect the meat portion to be really small. As I ate the birria, I noticed that the tortilla was spicy, traditionally it isn't supposed to be spicy. It felt like all the seasoning was put to the tortilla and not the birria or the consomé. The food lack flavour and covered it up with spice. I personally won't be back. read more

This food stall inside the conservatory is a gem! As I'm walking around debating what to order, I come across this birria stall. I think nothing of it until I see this mammoth concoction on a platter that was ordered by a couple. I asked the staff and he said it was the birria sandwich. He took me over to the menu and showed it to me. Let me say, the picture does not do this sandwich justice. This is one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. It's savory, cheesy, has a crunch from the bread, the flavor is simply intense. It's a combination of both a beef patty and birria. It comes with an assortment of pickles, radishes and a side of fries. The fries were spot on as well. The staff were great and friendly as well. Next time I am in town, I will definitely come back and try the birria tacos. They looked really good as well. read more

Good dollar tacos, but they somehow always forget my cheese that I pay extra for on Tuesdays. They don't answer the phone for when they do mess up your order. Service is fairly quick, but make sure they're not giving you any food cold. read more

We've all heard the saying kiss the chef, Nah give this chef the Hawk Tuah!!! This food is phenomenal. My buddy said it's really good and I was expecting just another taco spot. I was greeted by a interesting atmosphere. I've seen all these places, but I knew what I wanted, and what I had my eyes on. I saw pictures on the menu and I didn't want to get my hopes up because we've all seen supposedly good tacos and I didn't want to be let down again. Now I will say it does take a little time but that's because he's working that magic. I thought I was an episode of euphoria this had my toes curling. I forgot how to breathe and I didn't know if I was moaning out loud or if that was in my head these tacos had me talking to it dipping it in the consomè saying "you like that huh". I was going to spank the tacos but some locked eyes on me. these tacos were amazing and if you ever have the opportunity literally jump for it I'm afraid about the next time I come in I don't think I'll be able to control myself waiting for these. 1000/10 would recommend read more

It's not Birria style meat. And the menu doesn't warn about spicy level. I had the fries and they were really good but my husband had a burrito and really struggled because they had put some sort of spice in it that he was not prepared for, he couldn't finish his meal. The elote was terrible, the numbs were too small, you can tell they used frozen corn on the cob. The lemonade was just country time. Flavor was good for me because I can handle spicy but they really need to warn people about it. Also my friend got a Birria ramen with beef and they used chicken ramen that was just microwave ramen, a little off putting for how expensive it was. They should lower their prices too, felt like a scam for not even real birria. read more
