I eat breakfast tacos at least three days a week, and after living in Houston for nearly 20 years, I've made it a mission to try taco spots all over the city searching for the best. I've been to so many over the years that I've honestly lost count -- and in my opinion, these are the best breakfast tacos in Houston. The tortillas are homemade and perfect every time, with just a little flour still on the outside the way authentic fresh tortillas should be. I usually build my own taco with huevos à la mexicana, tocino, shredded mozzarella cheese, and refried beans, then pair it with both the red and green salsa. Absolutely incredible. The tacos are always served hot and fresh -- never doughy, never dry or overcooked. Every bite is wonderful. I'm genuinely obsessed with them. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you don't want a taco get a pancake and coffee, those are good too. Sincerely don't overcrowd my neighborhood taco place but to go try it. read more

The food !!! The barbaco is really shredded roast beef. I personally don't recommend this place. I worked in the restaurant industry for 25 years. Specialized in all aspects, especially in Mexican Food. That's my opinion.... read more

My wife and I had a wonderful light dinner at this place. We had a huarache and a sope with carne asada and al pastor respectively. Both were delicious. The place felt authentic and the service was good. I'd like to go back for breakfast. read more

I've known the place for a long time and I've taken family and friends to eat, always everything very tasty, but today in particular, I went with my daughter and asked for the chiles in nogada that are in season, what a disappointment, they were not pleasant at all, greasy, super sweet cream. And the portion has nothing to do with the price, a very big disappointment. read more

I will preface by saying this location was highly recommended to me and I was highly disappointed. I dined in Wednesday before closing for 2 orders to go. I had ordered two orders of 5 taquitos estilo DF, a coke, a cucumber lime agua fresca and dessert. The second order to go was for 5 taquitos still DF as well. While they had the order out in reasonable amount of time, they up charged me on the dessert. To make matters worse, upon arrival at my house I saw I was missing one order of tacos. The food was great, and they did fix my receipt to correctly reflect correct price of dessert. However, how can you forget an order of tacos? I didn't notice because my friend carried the order, so before you order make sure they charge you correctly and that you have everything you ordered. It's like McDonald's does that but these aren't McDonald's prices. I left a good tip- I shouldn't have!! read more

This one has been on my radar for a very long time. Great tacos and great customer service. Food: the Texas are huge. I mean 2 or 3 will fill you up. I got 5 to go to try a variety of 23.00. About 4.75 a taco but they ate huge so it makes sense. The barbacoa was so fresh and tasty. The sausage and egg was great. The fajita is okay. Needs more seasoning or a better cut of meat. I will definitely try more. Also the red and green sauces are phenomenal! Customer service is great too. I'll definitely come back again. Easy 5 stars. read more

La Chingada Tacos & Tequila - Chilaquiles Torta with milanesa and both red and green sauce. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time trying it for lunch. As soon as you walk in you're greeted so that's always nice. When we went we had to wait a bit since tables were being cleaned all at once which was odd. When we got seated one of 3-4 waitress came to see if we needed something to drink but we weren't ready as it was our first time trying the place. Speaking of the wait staff. It would be best if they're given sections vs all of them working the whole place and being asked about orders taken non stop by a diff waitress. It took a bit for them to bring our chips and salsa. Which the only green salsa you get wasn't that great. I will say they give you some frijoles refritos that weren't bad. When we finally decided on a drink which BTW they're not cheap. Me thinking oh this will be good for the price I mean. So I got something called Friday Khalo. When my drink came out it was a huge let down.It was also not that great tasting. I saw other tables getting bottles of salsa so I asked for them. I can eat a good salsa but these were just extremely spicy. I'm not a huge salsa verde person but it was the better one of both. I didn't get a good pic of the other person plate as you can see but it was some type of beef in some chile pasilla sauce. That beef was tough and the sauce spicy so they only took a few bites. I ordered the chilaquiles and idk if it's a Hispanic thing where we overcook our beef and being so thin it just made it extra tough. All in a all,for the prices and food it's a place I wish I'd love but not returning. Oh yeah! A fam sat next to us they came in maybe 5-10min after us. They sat their quite a long LONG...time. They ate more chips than anything. When we were done eating we saw the man in the group barely getting his food. read more

Unexpectedly good, looks ifffy on the outside but took my parents out for lunch we got 2 beef n chicken parrilladas and tacos everything was good. Tortillas are homemade as well! Would definitely be back soon and service was great read more

The original location - similar menus but service and food are better here than the newer location off 290. Chilaquiles and breakfast tacos are top notch. Solid choice for breakfast or lunch in the heights. To me, the name is misleading. A place with "Tacos and Tequila" in the name is a place that where you could casually meet friends for drinks after work, meet for a first date, etc., but really it's just a quiet neighborhood Mexican restaurant that happens to serve bottled beer and mixed drinks. read more

Nice Tex-mex place in an unassuming area. They give free chips and salsa when you sit down which is amazing. I ordered the queso birria tacos which tasted great. Melty cheese, nice bowl of consume, and onions cilantro and lime all made the tacos a good experience. Definitely would recommend as long you don't mind a food coma afterwards. read more

The El Taco Man truck usually parked in a nearby lot adjacent to La Chingada seems to have disappeared, so I decided to check out the latter to try beef fajita tacos. The tacos here are huge and really, really good - the onion and cilantro, along with guacamole and salsa verde, made for some great tacos. However, I was not a fan of the horchata, which lacked cinnamon. It made me wish I had gone to Taqueria Arandas for horchata. (Haha) The service here was really good. If you're ever near The Heights, definitely check this place out. read more

Great tacos and sides. The building has a lot of historical culture and vibe. Service was quick and the hospitality was above standard.

I came here this morning. It was right next to my veterinary clinic. Authentic Mexican cuisine, small hole in the wall restaurant. The service was impeccable ,wonderful workers. Lastly, the portion sizes were not as big as I hope they were, but the food is delicious.! Meal for one was less than $16. read more

One of the few places that does breakfast tacos all day! As I scour places to do my taco Tuesday fix or just taco fix in general, I find myself calling this spot to place my order for breakfast tacos since they always have them available. And they are quite dope! They are large and filling with a good cheese pull, put some of that green salsa on it and you're good to go. Of course I've done other tacos here as well. They do a mean barbacoa and pastor. The fajita/steak is pretty tasty as well. To-go orders are made fairly quickly and they always give me extra salsa and napkins when I ask for it. I haven't tried their other items but I shall get myself to do it one of these days. Of course it's been difficult cause I can't stop with the tacos. And I don't know if I'm ever gonna stop! read more

Ate here because the restaurant we were going to go to was unexpectedly closed. We enjoyed chilaquiles and the aguas Frescas. The food service was slow but the waitresses were very friendly. Husband had the tacos and enjoyed them. The pastor was good. read more

Down to earth and neighborhood feel at La Chingada. Came here for breakfast and opted for the chilaquiles. Massive portions and all the right toppings. Came topped with cream, queso fresco, and onions. Side of refried beans to go with your mountain of salsa tossed chips with over easy eggs. The beef was slightly tough and the salsa was a tad too salty. It's home cooking here, and there's no place like home sometimes. I'd come back to try to the tacos as it looks like they have different specials for each day of the week read more

Insanely delicious tacos de birria!!! Stuffed full, didn't expect the 3 to fill me up but I couldn't even finish them, and the consume is the most savory ever! Really cute interior, this is the small, authentic type of place I've been looking for in the area. Lotería and historically themed w/ friendly service :) Happy hour & lunch menu is great as well! Pictured is the beef fajita tacos with charro beans, pretty good too but will be back for the birria tacos and homemade salsas for sure! read more

Just ordered delivery from this spot an hour ago. I ran right to Yelp to write a review. Absolutely delicious food. I ordered a burrito and two tacos, and they were tremendous. The tacos were on a flour tortilla and the size was definitely larger than expected. The burrito was a TAD on the smaller side for the price, but the flavor was exceptional. Their salsas are excellent too. I will definitely be ordering from here again. I highly recommend! read more

This place is a hidden treasure. This is far better than standard fare tex-mex. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I was astounded by the length of the menu considering it's a very small establishment. The chips are great with a green salsa, some black bean dip and also two hot sauces in squeeze bottles. All were really good. My frozen margarita was delicious. I got The Angel which is barbacoa beef tacos. So much flavor and so tender! I will definitely be back. They do have some pricey things on the menu but my dinner entree was only $15 which I think is very reasonable. read more

Thumbs Up: The service is fantastic! I was greeted and seated immediately after opening the door. Thumbs Up: The waitstaff was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. Thumbs Up: The sauces are amazing! I can't decide which is spicier--the green or the orange sauce--but both are excellent. Thumbs Up: The table chips are served with a mild, runny salsa for those who can't handle the heat of the other sauces. Thumbs Up: The music was at a reasonable volume--not too loud. Thumbs Up: The plating was visually appealing, and my burrito was absolutely delicious. read more

What a great experience! The staff was welcoming and helpful. The food was fresh and so so tasty and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back! read more

Located off 45 and calvacade you'll find this authentic Mexican restaurant! They have lunch specials for about $10 and we ordered the fajita beef tacos on flour and the chicken enchiladas which both were too good! The amount of food given is def worth the price and the charro Bean's are to die for! Caution the orange colored salsa is great sweet but will def burn a hole in your stomach lol jk. We tried the two house margaritas which on Thursday is two for 1 at $7 which were ok. I've had better and also ordered a coffee which was great up until I had a second cup refill to go and was charged for a second cup... -____- but overall 4 out 5 stars. Food is great, fresh, and most importantly authentic! read more

Reasonable prices in a quaint, clean café. Service was good with a large amount of food for the price.

Almost went with a 4 and had to upgrade to a 5 because I couldn't think of anything this place could do better---great food, great prices, great service, great drinks. It's not fancy or anything so if you want a fine dining experience you may want to pick another place (plenty to choose from it seems), but for an easy dinner or great lunch this place hit the spot. Being that it was walking distance from our hotel it was super convenient for us. I really liked the gordita, the tacos pastor, and the salsas. I ate way too much. My brother wanted to come back for one final meal here before we left town and we did, too bad I was too full from an earlier lunch elsewhere to partake much that time! He tried the torta that time and really bragged about it. read more

Could've sworn I've written a review for this place before. But in any event.... GO GET THESE TACOS!! Stop questioning yourself. Believe the reviews. La Chingada is legit. I've mostly come for breakfast but all menu items are tasty. Chorizo, the green salsa, tortillas, carne asada, tortas & even the beans are just delish. And what makes this place even better is their service! I've always been welcomed with a smile. Once made a quick drop in for lunch & it was blazing hot. The young lady gave me a free lemonade because my order was taking a little longer than usual. The decor is nice & they keep the area clean. The parking is a little tight but it's worth it. They also have good lunch deals. Check it out if you're in the area. Yelp on my friends! read more

QuesoBirria Tacos= Heaven on Earth! Stopped by for lunch on our way to El Bolillo, and so glad we did. Lively, clean, comfortable spot, with nice staff. Ordered the sope and queso birria tacos. While I did like my freshly made, tasty sope, the quesobirria tacos became the main focus, very quickly! It may take a moment for your food to arrive, and it is worth the wait, as everything was just cooked, and delicious. Good portions, and go well with a maragarita or a canned Coke. Breakfast is served all day, too,which is great. I'll be back soon for a margarita and some potato, egg and bean breakfast tacos! Don't Miss This Place! read more

It was delicious definitely recommend this Place Family oriented restaurant will definitely go again.

I went here tried they tacos. I ran across them.on my tmobile dinner rewards app. The one I never had before was A Tinga Taco, it's basically smokey and spicy flavored chicken (shredded). I also kept it simple and got Me a lime jarrito which I did not know they had because it was at the bottom. I came on Tuesday tacos are $3 each on this day. They defined was inspired by they ancestors and it shows in flavors and decoration! The decor was beautiful The service calm and easy! read more

Everything was too salty- beans, pastor, rice Torta was interesting with queso fresco and without avocado Gordita was good but was thin only slightly thicker than a regular tortilla Agua fresca de pepino y limón was good. Horchata was good too but was really sweet Service was quick and everybody was nice. Food was just not good read more

Great Tacos !! Chicken enchilada was just as good and the service was awesome. Every time I have been to La Chingada it's was the best .. this one is on my list ! read more

Doesn't look like much when you drive up to it, in fact the sign in front says Vet Clinic. Weird, huh? Well, we decided to try it based on the good Yelp reviews and I'm glad we did, Just look at my picture. My carne asada tacos were delish! Really well seasoned good cut of beef with little to no fat. Yum Tacos were made without cilantro, but plenty provided once we asked for it. I only giving 4 stars instead of 5, because while the sauce was fresh and tasty, it was way, way, way too hot to enjoy. I will definitely return! Yummo! read more

While visiting Houston we stayed just a block over from this small Mexican restaurant and was drawn in by their name which basically means (in a vulgar way in Spanish) to brush off or be casual about something. It's more of an attitude rather than a feeling. We came in for breakfast and it was a safe bet with the tacos. Tortillas were fresh so no complaints there and the chorizo and egg taco we got was pretty good. Since it was breakfast we opted to have some coffee. The coffee had a flavoring that I could not pin down - it almost tastes like there is chocolate added to it? If you are in to that then the coffee will be your jam. Service was a bit slow but could have been that it was a weekday morning and the crowd inside was light. I could have done with being checked on a little more but eh our meal was easy and fast to get down before we continued to explore more of Houston. read more

Just had Carne Asada tacos here for the first time. This place is amazing!!! The staff are super friendly too, such lovely ladies.
