the tacos are 3.75 it's ridiculous how much their prices went up in just a few months. Food is great .... prices no bueno. Taking advantage of these tariffs is the cost I'm told by other sellers. read more

The fajita taste's really good, lots of flavor. The torta is pretty big and pairs nicely with the green sauce.

Literally the best tacos I had there Service is polite and kind but the tacos of fajita are amazing we come every week it's really calm and peaceful clean place to eat at trust me it's worth it you'll keep wanting to come back !!! read more

Love this taco stand, always has our to go order ready. everything is fresh always taste increíble. We love their salsa. Agua frescas are refreshing! The workers are really attentive too. Ignore the bad reviews, the regulars hold it down. read more

This place makes good fajita tacos but they are stingy on the toppings. You will get a leaf of cilantro and the thinnest dice of avocado. I don't know how these places stay in business. I remember cilantro and onion used to fall out of tacos when you picked them up but now prices get higher and the portions get smaller and smaller. I also did not like whatever cheese they use on their quesadillas. It was super thick and salty. read more

This spot is so good and have been coming here for years but unfortunately their prices have gone up drastically... I used to pay 1.50 for a taco and now they're charging 2.75 for ONE taco. This change in price was recent and their reason for it is increasing prices on "everything". I mean I understand increasing prices by a quarter or fifty cents but they went up a whole $1.25... I think that's just too much and I will not be coming back because I know plenty of other good taco trucks who charge $1.00-$1.50 per taco. read more

El Grand Taco - a sign in the window of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Can't believe I've never done a review for this truck. Shame on me! With all the taco stands in this area, you'd think this orange truck sitting behind a shopping strip wouldn't be making it. You are oh so wrong! These guys have been here for a VERY long time. What makes them 5 star IMO is that over the years outside of painting the truck orange nothing's changed. Their food & service hasn't changed. Prices are still the best around. Orders are always fresh & hot. I'm no pro & idk what goes into the making of a gordita shell but man they've got some of the best. They aren't tough or stale tasting as I've had at other trucks. The tortas a very good too. Never had an issue w/ portions or orders being wrong. Their salsa is yummy too! If you can get past what some would say is a shady/ghetto area, then you'll be able to make it to some really tasty bites that come with great prices & a smile. Yelp on my friends! read more

Prices have gone up astronomically since last year when we used to eat here, which would be alright if the quality and quantity was still the same but they've become incredibly stingy with the portions. our box of platillo mixto went from $15 to $18 and a quarter of the box was just onions instead of meat like it used to be and the food is no longer very fresh either. read more

On the cusp of another milestone review, I'd like to update a past review and leave the counter unchanged. Basically, on subsequent visits to this taco truck, I've been able to obtain those barbacoa, carnitas, and al pastor tacos I was craving in my previous review, and I'm left with no alternative than to bump El Grand Taco up a star, because they are grand indeed. If you watch the likes of Andrew Zimmern or Anthony Bourdain, you'll know that the cheek is one of the most delicious bits off virtually any animal, from cows to fish. The barbacoa (cow's cheek) is rich and savory here, and the tender, slow-cooked al pastor pork exhibits enticing flavors, with subtle hints of spices that you might not expect, like allspice and cinnamon, almost like a cochinita pibil. Such subtle use of spices is also one of my favorite things about Greek lamb or sausage, and leaves my mouth watering until my next visit. Even the common fajita beef is amazing on corn tortillas - and all are dressed with onion, cilantro, a huge chunk of avocado, crumbles of queso fresco, and a dash of enlivening salsa verde (see picture). El Grand Taco moved their truck from the back to the side of the covered seating area, so maybe something changed, or they're just moving with the sun and the season. Either way, as I suspected last time, I think I've found what they do best - now I'm hooked. And at $1.50 a pop, it's a fantastically cheap lunch. read more

The go to taco truck on a Friday. Order ahead on the phone to avoid a wait. Grande quesadilla with fajita is great. A little greasy but grilled fajita is delicious. read more

Prices gone up but food quality and quantity went down. Just be aware of this Beef Fajita Tacos

Tacos are 2$ now that they accept credit cards, I was ok with it because these are the best in the area. Usually comes with cilantro, queso, onion, and avocado. Now they are no longer serving with avocado. Can't raise prices and then take stuff off the tacos...... I think the flour tortilla is homemade and it's the best tortilla I've ever had but I just don't think the price is worth it anymore if I'm not even getting avocado (which is what usually makes the tacos more pricey) read more

I always get tacos and my husband gets the burrito. I been here several times and every time I go the lady who gets your order is very rude. I'm sure she hates her job. Wish service was nicer and place looked cleaner but if you don't mind those things you will like the tacos. Or take them to go! read more

This place is good, lady's are nice and the service is somewhat fast, food taste great. One of my top places to go for tacos. The only thing i don't like is the location, and environment. Looks shady but it's 249 so it fits read more

Best taco stand in the H! Love it been coming since I was 10! can always count on them to be open for a midnight snack

I always call ahead of time to order. The lady is dry but then again she's just trying to get your order. The food is good, not the best, but good. They're pretty efficient with getting orders out in a timely manner. This is definitely my go to taco truck when in need of a cheat meal. read more

Where is the taco shop in all of Houston. I seen the employees picking me up from the floor and putting it in the box they have a caution sign that says food may contain rocks now you know why. I will not be visiting this location ever again the ladies that work here are extremely rude asked for food for here and I received it to go. SUPER RUDE!!!! read more

Tacos are great but they always missed up my order and they don't compensate me. This is the second time they missed up, but whenever I called them and told them about it, they don't offer to give a free tacos or a refund. Oh they only accept cash no credit card. read more

I pass by this place all the time because i live so close and i finally stopped by Saturday night around 9:30pm... I ordered 8 beef fajita tacos which were good, but i didn't care for green salsa.... I gave 4 stars only because of the wait, it took about 40 mins to get my order... I know to call ahead next time... I'll probably be back since it's so close and I'm always craving tacos... read more

Cheap, fast, and high quality. They are also open late. They use real grilled steak, avocado and sauteed onions in the beef tacos.
