Guys the foods good, but they clearly don't care about the employees. Restaurants nice, but I'm…read morehere during happy hour and it's empty. Employees sitting in the booths waiting to serve people. If you pay minimum wage, expect minimum output from your employees. Bartender was great but I can tell he wants some money. That's why it costs to get extra salsa!!! Cmon, it's a Mexican restaurant, who has to pay for extra salsa???? Pay them better!! Ambiance was nice of course, Spanish music and quiet atmosphere. Food was great but lord have mercy if you're still expecting people to output giving them $14 an hour plus tips you need to go to hell!! Been coming to Molinas since the Joses dip as a child. This place needs some work!!!!!! 2/5 if I could give it. Get it together the foods great, but pay your employees!!!! CMON MAN

Last night before the gym later I ordered my go-to here being the Enchiladas Tejas with rice n…read morerefried beans. Sometimes I get it with ground beef in the filling and sometimes shredded chicken. This time I got it with shredded chicken. Very delicious, comforting, saucy, rich and starchy with enough protein obviously too. The chili sauce is beefy, bold and savory with ideal thickness, not watery thankfully. The bit of yellow cheese was good stuff. The wraps were tender and the chicken filling was seasoned and juicy as well as abundant. The rice was fluffy and mild pairing well with the rest. The refried beans were earthy, tasty and a bit chunky, not so smooth like the ones straight from a can. They have ideal thickness to them too. The complimentary chips, red sauces and green sauce were good for sure before and during the meal. Very well-made. Great, attentive, friendly service.

The taqueria cart / truck scene in Houston is among the city's most ubiquitous food options, which…read moremight be why Taqueria Tacambaro is both popular and overlooked at the same time. Located primarily near the parking lot of the Houston Farmer's Market, they're a solid destination for street side Mexican without the pretension. Tacos isn't the the only barometer, but it's a way to start. Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of the shredded lettuce with tacos (#1) but the meats are almost always the star of the show. I'm pleased to see that they utilize a number of beef cuts from the Houston-centric fajita (#2), asada, and even bistec. The latter was a tad saltier than I would have liked, which was really more of a cecina (salted). I don't have high opinions on the chicken (pollo) and pork (pastor), which I find to be some of the most boring choices on the menu. What Tacambaro really excels at is the rest of the parts: tripa (tripe), lengua (tongue), chicharron (rinds), buche (belly) and mollejas (sweetbreads). The latter was the real surprise and I can see why so many locals would want to come here for it. The mollejas are crispy, delightful, and full of flavor. With their tortillas and a little kick of the salsa, I can see how along with chicharron and lengua can become a specialty place in a hurry. It's not all rosas in this cart. Sometimes they're a bit in a rush and a lot of times the cart isn't actually around during its open hours. While it's supposedly open till 3pm, I've seen it gone just after lunch time. Even when it it is open, some of those choices are sold out in addition to some of the most expensive. Tacos are not the end-all, but I do appreciate their versatility with creating tortas, gorditas, flautas, and quesadillas. It's a cash only business to my knowledge and there are ATMs in the market, as well as places to sit. I would always make the effort to patronize Tacambaro, and hope any more do. __________ (#1) Tacos dorado? Fine. Maiz taco that's barely grilled? Eh. (#2) Native Houstonian, please explain why "fajitas" are on every taco truck please. I beg of you.

I loaded up with chicken fajita meat, grilled veggies( not traditional bell peppers and onions but sweet potatoes, zucchini & potatoes) pico, guacamole, red onions, cilantro, black beans, cilantro rice, cheese & two salsas with a third on the side. I chose the cilantro Serrano, salsa roja & mango habanero which is really sweet and almost like Asian sweet chili sauce. It is enough for 2 people honestly neither of us could eat more than half! Sidenote - the pineapple juice is not fresh it's made from powder but the cashier said the strawberry limeade & cucumber limeades are.

Now that I'm more familiar with their menu, their food and prices are actually pretty good. I've been mixing it up but lately I've been getting the taco shell bowl and essentially filling it up with the good stuff I like. You can get just the salad without a shell too but the shell is more fun. Their fish tacos are also really good. As previously mentioned the pizza place next door is also owned by the same people so if you have a large group of people, you can all go to different places and still sit together on the patio so it's really good for that too.

I ordered the more traditional style cheese enchiladas that feature crumbles of cotija cheese rather than drown you in melted cheese. All good flavours. I think their rice is made with chicken stock and beans with lard. The tortillas that accompany their tacos seem handmade and their nopales have good flavour and not too slimy.

Soups, salads and chalupas also would fill the bill. I opted for the Rio Grande Valley Grilled Tacos.

So easy to order and then walk to pick up lunch. Lots of parking also available. A great place to pick up lunch. Will have to dine in someday.
