    At 6:15 in the morning in a random Thursday there's a VILLAGE people line out the door. Cop. Construction worker. Biker. Just missing the Native. Assembly line taco formation makes it go super fast. Be prepared. Grab the salsa and peppers. Hot coffee. Excellent chorizo breakfast tacos. Amazing bacon tacos. Three filling overstuffed shells and a large coffee for $11 with a great little section to sit and devour. Wish I was here over the weekend to see how good the tamales are. Clean and cute and a treasure.

    At this point, Brothers is more synonymous with breakfast tacos than any other establishment in Houston. While there are other places that offer and even specialize in them, few have more years than this family-run EaDo institution, which is closing in on a quarter of a century. The lines from both tourists and locals happen on the daily, from the morning to lunch. It's hard to predict on when to come since the peak times fluctuate between 8-10AM and Noon. Thankfully the wait isn't too long and it moves quicker than it looks. It's really only an issue if one is pressed for time (#1) or if the weather is less than ideal. The other hold up which is people who don't know their way around and hold up the line while they make a decision. The tacos are all across the board in textures, flavors, and look. Personally, their scrambled egg with sausage and peppers is deceivingly good. The spicy potato seems super plain but is packed with a nice zing of flavor. I highly recommend salsa of any kind to add to the taco. It's not all tacos here: tortas, quesadillas, fajitas, and daily lunch specials are still very much a part of their food rotation. It would be remiss of me to not mention their amazing Too Good To Go offer, which is currently stands at $3.99 for 5 (random) tacos in a surprise bag. It's been one of my favorite ways to keep things affordable while enjoying a nice selection of their pre-made tacos. There is seating in here, but it's limited and located in the back. During the different parts of the afternoons, sometimes they'll give a little break (and even a little food) to the less fortunate roaming the streets of EaDo. I think the people who run the place are excellent folks. Be strategic about the parking situation, since their front lot only offers so many spaces. Street parking is practically essential and time flexibility is worth its weight in breakfast taco gold. ___________ (#1) Call ahead of time and make it a to-go order.

    Came here on a Saturday morning around 10am, and there was a line out the door. This building itself isn't huge though, and the ordering system is much like a build-your-own spot so the line does move quickly! We waited about 10 minutes. The parking lot is very small with street parking being the only other option, but that's fine since it giving more of a "grab and go" place anyways. There are a few bench tables and barstools inside though for those who want to dine in. The food itself (which in this case was classic breakfast tacos) were just good, nothing mind-blowing. I do appreciate how you can add all of your fixings at the end instead of having to go back and ask. Would I come here again? I'm not opposed to it, but I would not go out of my way to return if I wasn't in the area.

    Brothers Taco House is an EaDo taco joint you have to check out if you haven't already! I'll be real with y'all and say parking here isn't the best. Only a few normal parking spots then the rest is street parking. But it's worth the trouble! Service is quick. It's counter service and the line usually goes out the door, but it moves quickly. Ambiance is nothing special, but you don't need that when the tacos are tasty and affordable. They have a ton of different filling options. I usually stick to al pastor, barbacoa, and beef fajita, but they have so many options to choose from. The chipotle chicken was surprisingly really good, and you can never go wrong with a breakfast taco option. What really sets this place apart is their salsa, 5 different options of different spice levels. And my personal favorite, the fresh chilis they offer on the side as well. Enjoy!

    BTH serves authentic, flavor-packed Mexican breakfast tacos. Choose from meats like barbacoa, chorizo, sausage, or ham, with tasty sides like peppers, potatoes, and veggies. Affordable and good value tacos; definitely worth a try!

    Drove by this place so many times so I decided to stop by. The place is more for take out. They serve breakfast and lunch. Has a small area to seat and eat for a quick bites. Not where you wanna spend hours to chit chat and eat. Good food and price ranges about $3-$5 per taco.

    I see why this place is so popular. Cheap and delicious breakfast tacos. The chorizo was definitely my favorite, but everything we tried was perfect. Generally the clients and staff here speak Spanish, so it's helpful to speak and understand Spanish, but not required! There's a line, but it moves quickly. Parking is a bit tricky, but even with that the experience was smooth.

    Been coming here for years. The guy with the bad haircut and bad teeth was really rude today. He told me ten mins. I show up to get my order in ten mins now he talking about 15 more mins and was extremely rude about it. Too many good tacos spots to deal with his rudeness. I Will not be back. 1 star.

    Menu and food line

    This place always has a line wrapped around the building. Finally stopped in to see what the fuss is all about. The ladies behind the counter were super friendly and helpful to a first timer. Ordered 2 tacos: chicken tinga and spicy pork. They have 3 types of sauces mild (light green), medium (darker green) and hot (red). The red one is the hottest. They also give you cilantro and onions to go on the tacos. Super cute place with wood paneling and there is some hidden parking behind the building. Now for the food review... beyond amazing! My favorite sauce was the medium darker green one. Just the right amount of kick for the tomatillo. The food is fresh and flavorful and the flour tortillas taste like homemade :) So glad I finally went in. It's worth it to fight the crowds and traffic to try this place out. There is a reason why it's always packed!

    I love the food here. Always fresh and always tasty. I could drink the salsa, so good! The staff is always friendly and the vibes are always busy but great. The location is small, so I usually order to go. This place is a MUST go for breakfast or lunch!!!!!

    Brothers Taco House has been on my breakfast radar for a minute. The location, parking and long lines have kept me from checking it out sooner. Recently, my coworkers and I decided we needed some breakfast tacos in our life so I carved out time in my morning to make it happen. Since I came bright and early, there was no big line that I have always read about nor was there any issue with parking. Most of the food is prepared and the ordering process is like a cafeteria line. You either tell them or point at what you want and how you want it. Customer service was good. My order was large but I planned ahead and grouped like items together. I was in and out of there in a jiffy. The tacos prices are on par or even slightly cheaper than other breakfast taco spots ranging from $2.25 to $3.50 depending on that you get. They do charge a quarter extra for cheese. When we dug into the food at work, I noticed some were not labeled like others so we had to do some investigating to get our orders right. Maybe sticker labels would be ideal for large to go orders. Just a thought. For my order I got a chorizo & egg, bacon & egg, and a sausage & egg. I added cheese to them all. To me, they all tasted very similar. Of course they had slightly different flavors, but not much. If I had to choose, I would pick the bacon one as the front runner. My coworkers and I try different breakfast tacos pretty regularly and to me, this place was just ok. Not bad by any mean, it just didn't live up to the hype. Overall, the food satisfied my hunger but I was expecting the best breakfast tacos in town. I will probably give them another shot but eat it right there in the parking lot.

    This is def one of those restaurants where you need to know what you want before going up. Its a very popular taco spot in EaDo area and seem specifically busy during breakfast. They have a small parking lot so parking is a hit/miss but we were lucky enough to get parking. We waited in line and tried to figure out what we wanted. It's set up cafeteria style where you go down the line and they take your order and assemble your taco with the various fillings. It seemed they had many more options than their menu listed which left me a bit flustered when making decisions. I wish things were labeled but I eventually went with the potato, chorizo, and bean breakfast taco and got some tamales to go. I really liked the breakfast taco, it was very flavorful and surprisingly filling. The salsas they have out were also great and def recommend to go along with any of their food. The tamales were a bit mediocre for me, nothing stand out (I'm also not sure what filling they were or if they had options but I think it was carnitas). Overall, a solid breakfast taco spot, just know what you want before you step in.

    Overall, a great experience and an even better price for tacos! My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday around 10:30am and waited about 10 minutes in line before ordering. There's usually a line on weekends, so expect a bit of a wait. The setup is order-at-the-counter style where they hand you your food at the end, but I noticed people doing online orders too--definitely recommend that option if it's available. We ordered 5 tacos total plus a large lemonade, all for under $17. Super affordable and we left very full. I had the bacon, egg & cheese with potatoes and beans, while my boyfriend tried chorizo and beef. The beef taco was the winner--so flavorful, tender, and juicy. Next time I'd probably order a couple of those! The sauce variety was great too, and the lemonade was refreshing. Service was fast and efficient. Seating is limited, but we managed to grab a spot without much trouble. Great spot overall--tasty food, great value, and worth the weekend line. I'll definitely be back, especially for that beef taco!

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!
