My bf recommended this place as his go to on this side of town and it was really good! The guy that took our order was really friendly and it was nice to go down a buffet line and add whatever. I did notice that they don't offer sour cream. I loaded up with chicken fajita meat, grilled veggies( not traditional bell peppers and onions but sweet potatoes, zucchini & potatoes) pico, guacamole, red onions, cilantro, black beans, cilantro rice, cheese & two salsas with a third on the side. I chose the cilantro Serrano, salsa roja & mango habanero which is really sweet and almost like Asian sweet chili sauce. It is enough for 2 people honestly neither of us could eat more than half! Sidenote - the pineapple juice is not fresh it's made from powder but the cashier said the strawberry limeade & cucumber limeades are. read more

Bodegas Taco Shop - Build your own taco salad - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been here a dozen or more times since the first review so I think I should give them their flowers. Now that I'm more familiar with their menu, their food and prices are actually pretty good. I've been mixing it up but lately I've been getting the taco shell bowl and essentially filling it up with the good stuff I like. You can get just the salad without a shell too but the shell is more fun. Their fish tacos are also really good. As previously mentioned the pizza place next door is also owned by the same people so if you have a large group of people, you can all go to different places and still sit together on the patio so it's really good for that too. read more

We stopped by after a doctors appointment in the same building. It smelled amazing so we decided that we would stop by. Easy to order and menu was easy to read. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Service was quick and easy, the vibe inside is welcoming and warm. We decided to eat outside since it was a nice day and honestly it was a mix evibe. Food came out, we ordered a build your own quesadilla and the #8 enchiladas. Both were so good and filling, pricing was very reasonable. Something we would normally pay anywhere else, we thought it would be pricy since it's the medical center and so close to the children's museum but honestly it was very reasonably priced. We definitely be back and make the 30 min drive. read more

My friend recommended me to Bodegas Taco Shop because it's near the zoo. I think it was fairly good to eat here as many elites gave 4 stars or above. Considering we came before the lunch rush hour. We were lucky to find parking right in front of the restaurant. Well, I had to pay at zone 47744. The restaurant was pretty clean at that time. But the cashier was throwing ice cubes at the line workers. They exchanged words in Spanish. Ah, so playful. Food came out and I didn't pay attention to see when we got our taco plates . But the beans and rice were in tiny portions like in sauce cups. I guess the portion was okay. The beans were soupy, fork can't get everything from the cup. So, I chugged down into my mouth. Tacos were tasty. I had grilled fish with avocado tacos. My friend had enchiladas and a salad. We enjoyed the atmosphere because we were the only customers at the restaurant. read more

The food was okay, but the customer service left a lot to be desired. When Javier took our order, he was mumbling and looking down, plus it was already loud, which made it difficult to hear him clearly. I misunderstood what he said, and instead of simply clarifying the order, the staff made jokes at my expense while I'm ordering. They assumed we couldn't understand Spanish. A fair assumption in some situations, but they were mistaken. Probably shouldn't do that in a place of business. We waited until we finished eating before saying anything because we didn't want it to affect our meal. We told one worker who was very nice, but the look on her face when she realized we understood exactly what had been said was priceless. Jaw drop. Two stars because the food wasn't terrible, but we won't be returning. My husband has lived in the area his entire life and has been coming here for years. He brought me because he was excited for me to try it, so unfortunately, this experience was not what we expected. read more

straight to the point tex-mex. the tex-mex basics is really all we need in life. the staff seemed liked they just were unhappy, which is sad. but the food was good, despite everyones sad faces. the layout of the restaurant is very strange and doesn't follow a natural energy layout.. and its pretty dark in there, even during the day. i would definitely recommend sitting outside. do not order the happy hour margaritas... they are too sour. but other than that tiny complaint, i would definitely recommend visiting or ordering takeout. bonné appétit c. read more

Coming in from Corpus Christi where there is almost ONLY Mexican food I hesitated to stop anywhere for tacos. OMG so glad I did!!!! Breakfast carnitas tacos were so tasty and perfectly made to order. Came back to town went back for dinner an took two perfectly great pulled pork tacos home with a 5 minute stop! Going back! read more

Great lunch spot for the family/friends if you're hungry coming back or going to the park! It was a beautiful day so we ate outside in the patio. My fish taco combo plate was delicious. Avocado slices on top are a must. The fish was grilled perfectly. The only thing I disliked were the prices- $15 for my taco plate! Eek. This is why I hardly eat out. Otherwise if you're in the area, I would recommend this place if you're craving good Mexican food. read more

I was introduced to this location by a bike group and this is often their pit stop. I had a chance this week to stop by again and I always order the Chicken Enchilada plate. This time I tried the Cadillac Margarita with a top shelf tequila of your choice. Parking is not great, but they do have a parking garage. I recommend parking on the street. They make your food in front of you, which is always great. The portions are generous as you can see! They are located in a medical area near the museums. Service has always been great, it's fast and they accommodate any adjustments that you want to make to your order. read more

Great food at great prices! I am glad only one of us ordered the plate because it would have been too much food. We got chips and queso. Crunchy chips made in house. I ordered a quesadilla plate with grilled veggies and I had them add pico de gallo inside. It is served with a side of refried black beans and rice. He ordered a chicken Tinga taco and they asked do you want the plate. I am glad he only got a single taco because we had leftover. All for $22 before a small tip. read more

Great spot to hang out with a very large group of friends! It can be very hard to coordinate last minute gatherings and Bodegas made it easy! The service was timely, the food was tasty and the interior was lovely and clean. I liked the ceiling lights that reminded me of the holidays! We were allowed to sit and eat and we're never rushed or hurried to finish and make room. Their takeout is equally good! I loved the taco bowl, though it was a bit difficult to eat at times. The fillings were really tasty as were the desserts. A good spout when you're craving Tex-Mex! read more

Needed a place to eat lunch before heading to Children's Museum and this place was super close. Walked up, ordered, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the chips and queso as an app and they were both delicious. As my meal I ordered the appetizer street tacos, which were just ok. The rice and beans were a small portion...and not just on my plate. The flavoring of the meat was also just ok. My friend's son ordered the chicken tenders and fries and really liked them. My friend ordered the pork plate and cleared his plate. If you're in the museum district and looking for a place to go, this is an ok spot. read more

The food didn't have flavor. We received cold tacos that my daughter wouldn't eat because the temp was off. The flautas were dry, the fish tacos had absolutely no seasoning, the steak fajitas had no seasoning at all. The attitudes of the staff were uninviting. We were first timers and thought they only served what was on the prominent signs. The guy didn't specify or speak up, engage in the questions. It was terrible. I do not understand the high rating. We do not recommend, not will we go back. Dark atmosphere. Lighting is terrible. read more

I ordered my food in the car on the way to the Motown revue. the food was fresh and being made as I was walking in. The staff was very friendly and the casual environment made me comfortable to bring my folding chair inside as I was headed to the show.

Bodegas Taco Shop - ##3 Shrimp Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've passed by this place many times when leaving the park and always wanted to check it out. So this day I was at the building it was in and decided to get a breakfast taco. When I went in there were people in line like cafeteria style. They were telling the server exactly what they wanted on their tacos and the servers were moving fast. So I picked a flour tortilla with refried beans, eggs, and brisket. The second one was without the meat. Those tacos were SO yummy!! I will definitely be back for more! I also got their mango & pineapple lemonade and it was so good and refreshing! read more

So we picked up some tacos for lunch. They all had rice and beans and an array of tacos. These tacos were bland, looked like the beef fajita meat had been boiled then seasoned. The refried beans were like a soup. We weren't expecting this because of the long line and good reviews but this was a huge letdown. We won't be back unfortunately. This is not the standard for a Houston taco shop. I'm sorry I'm leaving this review bc I hate to do this to a business but the food quality has to improve read more

For the price, I'd say this place is just ok. The fajitas were a bit skimpy and I was a bit sad about the lack of rice. Beans were weirdly gooey and I found that quite offputting. parking in this area is difficult. The flan dessert was good though-- very creamy and sweet. This is the first restaurant that I've gone to where the chicken melts in your mouth--made me wish I'd gotten chicken fajitas instead of steak! read more

Good amount of food for the price, and quality wasn't bad. They have a lot of options on the menu - from $15 fajitas to build your own tacos for like $11-13 bucks. I got the fajitas and while they weren't amazing, I was happy with them for the price for sure. The shrimp tacos were also good. Mexican Coke for my drink sealed the deal! The staff were friendly and the restaurant is well decorated and clean. Bathrooms were out of order. Overall - good quick stop when walking around museum district. read more

Bodegas Taco Shop - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Bodegas Taco shop is one of if not the best taco/ tex mex fusion restaurant in Houston. The ambiance is very casual and inviting to say the least. They have televisions for any sports watchers or for anyone looking to keep up with the news. When you walk in you order at counter with a walking line if you order any customized food options. They have beer, mexican sodas and water at the counter and soda/tea fountains in the dining area. I always get a large aquas fresca with 2 straws to share with someone I love. The waitresses and servers all are friendly and amazing at giving suggestions on the food. The meat always tastes authentic and everyone I bring here usually falls in love at first sight. If you are at the museum or near the medical center give this gift from the taste bud gods a chance and get a slice of tres leches to go !!!! 10/10 experience as always !!! read more

One of only restaurant in this museum district. If you are tired of the food selection at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, this is a good alternative choice for fast casual food. Although the name is Taco Shop, they have other food choices there. They have other food that is not tacos, I tried the tacos before, it is just good tacos nothing wow about! The Mexican pizza it is very close to the Taco Bello's old Mexican pizza. The price is a bit pricey but I am sure the rent here is not cheap. After you pay, they will bring the food to your table. The food is good but nothing special. Where you have to have a trip to come and eat. read more

I was working in the 1200 Binz building. I popped in Bodegas Taco Shop. I hadn't been in years. I ordered the grilled fish tacos on corn. They're served with black beans and cilantro rice. You order at the counter, pay, given a number and the food is brought to you. The tacos were good and come with two tortillas each. Too bad I couldn't add salsa to the tacos. It was too spicy. The black beans were delicious. The cilantro rice was not that flavorful. read more

Are taco Thursdays a thing? Stopped in and ordered the shrimp tacos with a side of flautas. The flautas were okay. The chicken was very dry, so I'm glad I had salsa and sour cream and guacamole to help them out. The shrimp tacos were ok, I did ask for some salsa to spice it up a bit. The shrimp was cooked well, but they were a little bland, in my opinion, pulled high with lettuce. The service was good, and they had plenty of seating, but nothing really stood out to me. The mango margarita was good can't really mess those up read more

A rare place to eat that is not a museum cafe in the museum district. Though I would probably eat here after going to a museum, since it feels so good to have some tacos after a long day there. I only tried the fish tacos so I can't speak to the other meats, but I liked it! Don't know how they did the fish but it is so good with the salsa. Beans were the best I've ever had. It was plenty for me, and price wise, definitely cheaper to get the fish taco combo than ordering per. I went late at night when there weren't a lot of people, but the food still took a while to come out, so maybe prepare to wait during rush hours. read more

I have stopped by twice to make my own nacho creation and I have been pleased each time. Walking in, you're greeted by a homey atmosphere with tables spread around and televisions playing sports. I ordered at the counter and went with build my own nachos with rotisserie chicken. First up is rice and there are two options: spanish rice and a green rice. I opted for half and half, no beans, chicken, cheese sauce, pico de gallo, corn, chopped onions, cilantro, and pickled jalapenos. There were also options for lettuce, cheese, and sour cream. The chips were thin and crunchy, the chicken moist, and the cheese sauce was the perfect consistency. Delicious! read more

Best nachos I've ever had!! Love this place with a passion. Great food, service, atmosphere, and it's affordable

The service here was subpar. It was a bit confusing when first walking in because there was nothing directing me to the order area. The food was good, but not amazing. The size of these mega nachos would definitely feed 3-4 people, not the 2 that it claims. Also, the way they have things priced was confusing, because it says that you can build your own nachos for 12.95 for brisket, but I also got charged $9 for nachos as well. And they couldn't explain why. read more

When I visited Bodegas Taco Shop i had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious. Large menus in front of you in the (LUBYS LINE) to show what they have which I loved. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous, and I especially loved their salsa, which added the perfect kick. The ambience was lively and welcoming, with a fun, casual vibe that made it a great place to hang out with friends. The decor had a cool, modern twist on traditional Mexican elements, making the whole experience feel unique. You can sit outside on the patio or inside and watch sports while you enjoy your food as well as your margaritas. Which by the way were amazing. The service was top-notch! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure i had everything i needed. Overall, Bodegas Taco Shop is a fantastic spot for anyone craving tasty tacos etc and a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend! read more

This is a great place! It is super convenient to go after going to the museum, or from the medical center. It is designed similarly to a Mo's or a Chipotle, but it has so many different flavors. I got the build your own bowl with ground beef and cilantro lime rice and black beans. I added some delicious pico, lettuce, and some of the creamy cilantro spicy salsa. I then added some tomatillo salsa as well (I am a salsa aficionado, what can I say). The salsa was all delicious, and very fresh. They have probably about 15 different salsa options, too, which is fun. I am dying to try them all! My husband got a bowl as well in the tortilla, and it was also delicious. We also got a frozen margarita pitcher, which was great! It has lots of flavor and is affordable. This would be a great place to come back with a group! In fact, there were lots of groups there. The ambiance is pretty casual and social with a little bar, and lots of medical professionals and friends there. It is decorated in an eclectic, fun way that has a lot of personality. The service is all very kind and helpful as well! We love this place! I love the location, and the food is affordable and delicious! I recommend :) read more

We ate a late lunch here after a visit to the nearby Houston Children's Museum. Was initially a bit hesitant because their average Yelp review score was like 3.6, but it was a great lunch! Food was tasty and ready quickly. Service was good. Sitting outside on the patio was nice. I suppose it might've been a bit on the pricey side for Tex-Mex, but maybe it's typical for the area. I would say they're a solid 4.5, so I'll round up to make it a 5! read more

Probably the closest restaurant to the Natural History Museum. On the inside, it looked more like a small food court where there are a few small restaurants available. I ordered the Apollo taco combo, price is quite reasonable - consider the $15 cold tiny turkey clubs at the airport, this $12 combo is quite a steal! Everyone at the shop was friendly and helpful. I got my plate within 15 minutes or so, the only surprise is they give you a quarter chicken, meaning you have to DIY is into a taco, lol. Of course it is super generous in terms of size, but I have never seen a taco being sold like this before, so it was quite an interesting experience. Or maybe I misunderstood the menu? Overall great experience. read more

Parking is a challenge but there are some surface lots. I was leaving an appointment and noticed this place. When went in it was semi busy about 12ish lunch time. by the time I got my food it was busy. The did get my order wrong but it was a good wrong if that makes any sense. They gave me the same order twice. They did not charge me for it and I was like cool! the food was good which were fish tacos and I would recommend them. Price is high but eveything is high right now. It does have potential to attract eye candy and it may come in later in the day because they do have a bar. read more
