We were looking for a late night spot to get a bite to eat and thought of Velvet Taco…read more Surprisingly, it was pretty empty. We ordered the buffalo chicken tacos, mexi cali shrimp bowl, margaritas, and loaded tots. We enjoyed all of the food and margaritas. The service was pretty good. My only minor complaint is that they forgot to put the bacon on the tator tots and my fiancée needed to go the restroom when we walked in and they refused to let him have the code until he made a purchase.

The taco stand was a cute little place in the heart of Westheimer. Keep in mind that it's a chain…read morerestaurant rather than a mom and pop shop though. So, there are multiple other locations and also the quality of everything is generic to the chain. Besides for the higher cost of a taco in the area, these tacos were very good. These tacos were juicy and flavorful. I got the quesobirria tacos. They came with 3 tacos and a soup to dip. They also had an open side bar with pickled onions and sauces so don't forget to pick up some of those. Surface was fast. You order at the counter. Then, you pick up at the counter when your order is ready. It makes things quick and easy when I went. There wasn't much of a line, but I can see it getting busy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. And depending on how nice the weather is having that option is super nice and Houston weather. There is also a parking lot, which makes things very easy. Otherwise, there's a neighborhood in the back where you can just streetside park.

This place is fire!!…read more I was not expecting to enjoy the breakfast taco as much as I did. Both the pastor and Barbacoa tacos were oozing with oil/fat; some people may not like that but it made the meat super tender and juicy, whereas typically I find these types of tacos to be too dry at other places. Big fan of the chili pickled onions as well.

Taqueria near Memorial Park. They had regular tacos and breakfast tacos. Tacos were $4-$6 ish and I…read morefelt like they were a pretty decent size. Ordered: - Load Nachos (with Barbacoa) - Queso was yummy. Barbacoa meat works very well on the nachos. - Taco Al Pastor - Taco Oriental - Gringa - Favorite taco out of the ones we had. I feel like the cheese and avocado made a difference compared to the regular one. - Taco Samuel (Beef) - Horchata - yummy. Small cup was huge and it was only $3.50. We don't eat tacos a ton in Houston a lot but very satisfied with our meal. Definitely would reorder the nachos, gringa, and horchata again next time we go. I'm also interested in trying their breakfast tacos next time.

Great Tex Mex spot, been around for more than 10 years and they now have a Michelin star. Candente…read morehas a wonderful manager Nancy who is such a people person, great personality, and is always hosting events to make candente fun. There is Loteria nights and they announce this on their social media. All the staff are super friendly and attentive. If you need help anyone will help you. Restaurant is spacious indoor and also has a huge outdoor covered patio with fans and also an open patio. For their events I have been to Loteria nights and they give out prizes, it's fun while you grab a bite or a drink. They also have events where they bring in tequila brands and you can do free tastings of tequila! You meet the tequila brands ambassadors and learn about their brand. A great fun time during the week. A perfect spot for weekend drinks and Tex Mex food. My family and I love this spot and if you haven't been definitely stop by.

Visited Candente while in Houston. The atmosphere was lively and bustling, making it easy to see…read morewhy this place is so popular. The service was good throughout the meal. We did have to ask for a bit of cleanup around our table from the previous guests, but considering how busy the restaurant was, it wasn't a major issue and was taken care of promptly. The food was very good and lived up to expectations. My only disappointment was the Bloody Maria, which wasn't seasoned properly and lacked the balance and depth of flavour I was hoping for. Overall, a fun, energetic spot serving very good food, with just a few minor details keeping it from being an exceptional experience. Saluti.

I ordered takeout so can't speak on the dine-in experience…read more I tried the lamb taco, fish taco, chips and medium salsa w/ a side of habanero queso, and a horchata. The flavor of the horchata was good; it tasted a bit watered down but that's on me for not picking up my food immediately. The tacos were filled generously with meat and toppings, and both were super yummy with the accompanying salsas. The chips were thin which is my preference with tortilla chips. The salsa was smooth and the queso was good with a little kick of spice. Everything was pretty good and filling and everything was packed very well. There is a nearby parking garage if you don't want to find street parking

The Laguna taco cart chain has found itself all over the city with the #2 in the lot at the Chevron…read moregas station on Montrose & Alabama. Their claim to fame is twofold: $1 tacos (taquitos) and being one of the latest-night establishments in the neighborhood. I still don't fully understand the menu. They have items that have no prices and no descriptions, which is in line with many of the taco carts throughout the city. Lubary taco? Lubary burrito? Gypsy / Tony / Zuzu tacos? Besides extra condiments, I'm not sure what anything is. Hence, I always stick with their most well-known product: tacos. But these aren't actually tacos. They're taquitos. A smaller off-brand version in which they can charge cheaper prices, for less meat. Two biter tacos is the easiest way to describe it. The tortillas are crispy and the flavor of the meats are fairly good. However, they are also a bit skimpy and aside from chorizo, chicken, and beef, and there is an extra charge. Barbacoa, for example is $2 each. Service has always been very good. Though I swear they go through a lot of turnover because I never see the same people despite showing up at the same time in the middle of the night. It's never too busy and parking is mainly for the convenience store. I also can't stand the way that they package their salsas, which are tied up in a plastic bag. It's not glamorous or even remotely close to the best in the area. However, in a late night pinch and when hunger, strikes and a budget is necessary, then places like this make all the difference.
