    Birria Tacos

    First timers! We will definitely be back if ever in the area. We got Asada tacos, fire.. the meat was so tender and flavorful. Birria Tacos: 8.5/10.. Was stuffed with meat! Nachos: Everything was great EXCEPT the cheese they put on there that messed it up for that. Cute little spot, Customer Service was also great!

    El Taqueo is a locally owned Tijuana-style taco spot that delivers everything you want from a neighborhood favorite--clean, welcoming, fast, and absolutely delicious. From the moment we walked in, the managers and cashier set the tone with genuine friendliness and attention. The whole place is spotless, including the kitchen, which is always a good sign. Service was impressively fast, and the food came out hot and fresh. We sampled a little bit of everything: chicken and beef tacos, as well as chicken and beef quesadillas, and a chicken gordita. Every item was packed with flavor, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and prepared with care. The tacos had that perfect balance of seasoning and texture you expect from true Tijuana-style street food. The salsas were great as well and made in-house. If you're looking for a clean, welcoming, and authentic taco joint with great portions and even better flavors, El Taqueo is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

    I've been to Frontera in Katy and I actually prefer this one. Place was clean,staff was friendly and attentive. The "chicharon" they give you to start your meal was . The frijoles were amazing. Same for the food. There was no need to add extra salt or anything. The salsa were spicy so a few drops is good enough. The papa was big we barely finished half of it.

    All the food was great but prefer the Doraquesos over regular tacos. The asada and tripa were my fav and beans were really good too They had a little mix up with our order not being printed and they made it right! Staff is nice If you been to taco frontera then you'll like this spot

    Fajitas tacos

    The tacos are so good! I recommend 10/10 and will be back! The tortillas are the best both flour and corn.

    Tried this place just now and loved their tacos. They are flavorful and reasonably priced. The place is also very clean with fast service and glad I found a solid taco place near me now.

    Nice place, new clean and spacious. Can't really go wrong here, quick friendly service. With simple flavor profiles, your choice on how you want your protein... some were a bit greaser than others but other than that the flavors were good. You do get a great portion of food for the price.

    Since moving to Houston, finding truly great street-style tacos has been a challenge. Having lived near the Tijuana border and experienced a variety of taco styles, we were excited to discover this spot and give it a try. It turned out to be one of the best taco places we've found in the city. The service was solid, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. While it isn't authentically Ensenada-style, it's a great option that satisfies the craving for now

    Great vibes.

    Great food and very affordable prices. Definitely a must try. The vibe is good. We had the quesadillas and the mulleta.

    My husband and I love to support the local restaurant family businesses. I want to say that this…read morerestaurant probably has three generations operating it. We love their menudo on the weekends. It's got the perfect aromatics and not greasy. Im a big fan of chicharron and lengua tacos. Noyola's is the only place in Humble that serves lengua tacos and the best so far! I wasn't a big fan of their chicharron tacos so I won't be ordering that again. Give this local family restaurant a try!

    Come on now!!!!! Visiting from Phoenix and our dear friends who live down the street from Noyolas…read moresuggested we try! The Friendliness as soon as we walked in was overwhelming on this Monday afternoon around 4pm. Felt like home The food was made with love and cuisine knowledge! Very smart and delicious! The margaritas were off the chain yummy! They were so accommodating I had the chicken mole and my friend wanted pork mole (not on menu). No problem they said... and they delivered! Other friend had cheese Chile relleno... she loved it. Hubby had taco, cheese enchilada, and tamale that were the best. The sauces, the queso and homemade chips were warm and oh so good. Homemade corn tortillas and flour tortillas will make us fly back from Phoenix to indulge in often! Thank you so much for making this experience the best of our trip... my goodness Thank you! Much gratitude

We ordered pupusas, barbacoa, and a burrito. The pupusas were AMAZING (we got the kids' one), and they came with rice and beans that were also really good. The barbacoa came with two tortillas and was flavorful without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated since I'm not a fan of sweet barbacoa. My mom had the burrito and felt it could've had more flavor, but overall the food was still solid. The staff was super friendly, the bathrooms were clean and nice, and it was a comfortable spot to grab lunch. Definitely a great place to stop if you're hungry and want a satisfying, casual meal.

Waited about 15 minutes for Freshly made pupusas that come with tasty curtido and salsa, included. ( bean and cheese), and an order of platanos fritos that came with black beans and crema; portions large enough to share. The pupusa is one of the largest I have gotten, and the consistency and flavor were exactly the way I remember them from my time in El Salvador; authentic and delicious. Cost was $20 total, but would easily have fed two, and I have enough leftover for lunch, tomorrow, so a good value, for good food! Don't miss this spot; they have juices, and bottled and canned drinks, too. Will surely be back to enjoy more good food from their menu!
