El Rey del Tacorriendo - barbacoa tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Stopped by on a late night to grab some tacos. Service here is super fast and the tacos are $1.75 per. I got al pastor and fajita--definitely preferred the pastor more. The tacos came with a green sauce which was not spicy at all, I do wish there was some heat to it. They also had lemons rather than limes--not sure if they were just out of limes at the moment. Otherwise the tacos were good, and would definitely return! read more

El Rey del Tacorriendo - Fajita and pastor tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of my favorite taco trucks! It's so fresh and the service is super fast! They give you everything when they pack it like limes, sauce, etc. The staff is friendly and the tacos are cheap as well! The tacos are a little spicy so I wouldn't recommend if you can't handle spice. Additionally the location isn't in the best spot, I've been approached by many people asking for money at night and they don't leave you alone always. I wouldn't recommend super late night if you're going alone because of the location, but otherwise I definitely recommend for the tacos! read more

I'm talking about these are the best tacos that I have had in a long time I moved to Houston from San Diego so my taco taste is kind of bougie but they were amazing they were quick. They were blazing hot fresh off the grill. You can definitely tell. I even had to spin back and add a couple more dollars to their tip jar because they were that good I got four tacos. I paid in cash and so I only paid seven dollars on the dot for the tacos but I think if you pay with a card if you get as many as I got, I think it was about almost 8 dollars, but still that's not bad in today's you know society the tacos and the service were top tier the lady who took my order was very sweet. Just an overall 100/10 only thing I can say is that they did only offer lemons. I'm not sure if they were out of lines, but I wish I had a picture of the tacos, but I inhaled them as soon as I got them I wish much success to this business read more

If you're looking for affordable tacos, this is the place to go to! It's located a little bit outside of UH in a taco truck. I usually eat about 5-6 tacos and that'll really fill me up. My go-to tacos are the barbacoa and al pastor. My friend introduced me to this place a while back, and I loved going here when I'm on a budget and I'm craving tacos. I introduced this place to my sister and now she's obsessed with this place too haha. The tacos come with onions and cilantro. They also give you limes and grilled onions on the side. They also give a spicy green sauce that comes in a separate container. This place opens late also, so if you're having the late night munchies, this is great for that! read more

Are you ready for an adventure? Then, head over to the 3100 block of Telephone Road just before the Wayside Drive intersection for a cheap and authentic Mexican food truck. Located in the Gulfgate/Pine Valley area, this orange food truck is literally on the corner of Telephone Road and Oakcliff Street. Here you will find an assortment of your typical tacos, gorditas, and quesadillas that you come to expect at any Mexican restaurant. On this visit, I was craving street tacos. I ordered five (5) tacos al pastor and five (5) fajita tacos. I ordered these to go and they were ready within ten (10) minutes. The best part was the price; I paid $1 each or $10 total which includes taxes. I went home and unpacked my plastic bag filled with several aluminum foil packets. Tacorriendo separated the two different types of tacos and included grilled onions with Serrano peppers and green avocado-based spicy salsa. The tacos were garnished with diced onions and cilantro. After eating these delicious tacos, I was compelled to write a review so other folks were aware of this hidden gem. This is a great place to practice your Spanish but if you are only comfortable with English, don't worry, there is staff that communicates in English as well. The only downside is that there is no seating area for you to enjoy these yummy tacos. I highly suggest that you get them to go. If that is not an option, you can eat them standing up at the bar attached to the food truck. Nonetheless, if you are near the University of Houston and you are looking for a cheap and local place to eat authentic Mexican tacos, Tacorriendo should be your first stop. read more

Really good tacos. Lowest price in the area. My go to taco place specially because they'll give you the grilled onions for free (you just gotta ask for them). read more

I live near this truck and I only get quesadillas from them when i order w my family, ive tried their other items which are good but every time I order the quesadillas they always put so much meat and never enough cheese so its so meaty that its kinda nauseating. I would order the tacos if I wanted that, I call and always try to tell them but im a hispanic that isn't fluent in spanish so a small barrier but the words I use to describe what I want they should understand.. anyways not going to give them a low review bc theyre open super late and theyre a small business but their quesadillas have been a let down for months.. the meat seasoning needs to be changed its too much like caked on, I hope the owner reads this or someone thats connected to the cooks to let them know how to make a quesadilla, im not trying to get their whole inventory of meat and a sprinkle of cheese. Its suppose to be cheesy not flat meaty tortilla. read more

It was my first time going to this taco truck with my co workers and we were super excited bc we saw they had really good reviews. Not sure what was up with the two ladies there but they were rude af. Making it difficult for my co workers and i to order. My co workers don't know Spanish so I was translating their order to the lady and she just looked like I was bothering her. At some point she even wanted to take the order of another person who had just got there instead of ours. At first I thought it was just me thinking negative but even the person who just got there was embarrassed on how the lady was treating us. Once I finished my order she didn't even look at me or asked for my name but asked for the other customers names. When our food was done the lady angrily yelled in Spanish "who ever order this come get your food!" I was done with the rude attitude and just wanted to leave that place so I grabbed our food and was ready to leave but remembered we paid for sodas so I asked her "can I have the two sodas we ordered?" She replied "what sodas? You didn't pay for drinks." Now I was upset so I replied with a tone "yes I did and if you would have taken my name or given me a receipt you would of seen i paid for two sodas, I'm not leaving till I get the two sodas." Rudely the other lady grabbed the two sodas I had ordered but place them in the window side that was not where I was and told me "there". She could easily placed them on the window I was standing at but didn't. My co workers said thank you but both ladies just gave them nasty stares. I honestly feel they were racist Latinas bc I was with two black individuals. I urge people to not support this establishment until they replace those awful ladies. Bc how we were treated when there was clearly no rush was the worst experience I've had with a taco truck vendor. read more

Lady was rude when we confronted her about not giving us an item we paid for. We drove quite a bit to go back and the least they could do was throw in some beans but they didn't read more

gas or pass? This place is absolute gas!!! I'll definitely be returning to this food truck.

I went at night and ordered some fajita tacos. Not only was the meat green from being rancid but when I showed them how bad the was they had the audacity to say the meat was supposed to be like that. I've ordered enough fajita tacos to know the meat isn't green. I haven't been back since and if you go just be aware and be careful of what they serve you. read more

The tacos on corn are the main event. The flour is a little extra but worth it. It's on the corner of oakcliff and telephone. Onions and cilantro, yes please. read more

I recently moved to an apartment complex nearby, and I eat here often. I have taken many of my friends here because this place is too good to keep secret. If you order tacos, they provide tasty grilled onions and green hot sauce (and beans if you ask). I have tried plenty of taco places in Houston and this place is my absolute favorite. I am never disappointed! read more

We went thinking's all of our meat besides like one order of the tacos (wanted Barbacoa) was fajita meat and we came home to uncooked ground meat on ALL of our food! It was disgusting! Everything else would have been fine if it wasn't for the meat read more

They may not speak a lot of English, but the tacos will make you stop. The people are always nice to me. Everything is good for the traditional taco truck. read more

The cabeza (barbacoa) tacos are amazing! The pastor taco was decent. The "fajita" was disappointing. I expected strips of beef, but instead was ground and full of chewy bits. There is an extra charge for flour tortillas (30 cents?), but it's worth it. I'm not 100% sure, but it looked like they cooked the flour tortillas on demand. The ambiance is very basic and the adjacent homes and businesses are pretty worn down. No chairs, table, grass or anything. read more

I really like this taco truck. After Hurricane Harvey these awesome people got back in the truck and started serving food. It was hard to buy food so many stores were closed. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have eaten a warm meal. I recommend! read more

Food was good but waited almost 45 min for my meal. Chicken was tender and the waitress was a boss, she was awesome. If I had a choice to come back I would if the wait was lessen. read more
