    We had a group of 7 big dudes, and we were on a road trip from Dallas to Houston with an intent to stop at Corkscrew BBQ. Well, the insane line and the lack of parking made us "hot route". One of the guys found Punk's Taco & Bao. I was skeptical as it was in an unassuming strip mall and how can someone make Mexican and Asian food in 1 spot. Well apparently, I don't know shit because this place was amazing! The guy working ( i believe he owned the place) was by himself and he handled all of our orders like a champ. I got a brisket taco, a lamb Al Pastor taco and some fries. The fries were thin, crisp and had that perfectly puffy center. The Al Pastor lamb taco was unreal good, and the brisket taco was great too. I stole a piece of fried chicken off my buddy's taco when he wasn't looking, and this was way better than it had any business being. Punk's has a lot of fun artwork and they know what they are doing in the kitchen. They have a large menu of very interesting taco and bao options. If I lived closer, I'd be in here at least once a week.

    This is a tiny restaurant in a strip mall, but fun ambience, and super clean. The service at the counter was the owner's daughter,and she was super sweet, and asked for feedback on everything. Everything was delicious. Next time I would get a bao and a taco, as the baos are pretty tiny. I hope that people in the area support this business, and that it is successful here in Spring.

    Waited for the doors to open of this new addition to Spring eats. The concept is intriguing...baos and tacos? Decor is clean and features some punk decor as the name indicates but it's the food and service that earned this five star rating. We were warmly greeted when we entered the establishment and staff was eager to please. Spice level is fairly high but adjustments can be made. The chef owner himself brought us our food and chatted with us. I had the shrimp bao which featured a plump shrimp and a firecracker kick, a smoked brisket bao that featured tender meat and a Korean bugolgi bao that was especially flavorful. When asked for my favorite, I couldn't decide. I would have all three again. The tacos were equally pleasing and the chalupa chicken was a rockstar. Thanks for opening so close. This is gonna be a regular!

    Great new spot in spring just east of 45! Family owned andthe food is outstanding! The ambiance is nice and very clear. Fun artwork throughout the building. We had a couple Bao's and a couple tacos. The price is good and the potions are nice. Great flavors in the each. Offering Looking forward to going back

    Cholula Fried Chicken Taco, Smoked Brisket Taco, and Harissa Chicken Fajita Taco. All three were amazing

    Ordered a variety of the baos and tacos for pick up. All were very delicious and definitely recommend sampling the menu.

The Pico de Colibrí was the perfect starter--bright, fresh, with just the right balance of sweet corn, cilantro crema, and cotija cheese. The Costillas de Res con Frijoles Arrieros were incredibly tender and packed with rich, savory flavor, and the hearty black bean stew paired perfectly. The Filete de Pescado Campirana was another standout--the sea bass was flaky and moist, and the tomatillo, serrano, and epazote gave it a delicious, authentic flavor without overpowering the fish. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and every bite was outstanding. We didn't have a single dish that disappointed us. We'll definitely be back!

Everything was even better than expected. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They provided explanations and recommendations. The decor and neat, comfortable and cozy. Finally, the food. Man was it great. We had the Pico appetizer, Jamaica for drinks, the green Chili enchiladas and a shrimp dish. I would order any and all of them again. We also added a half dozen empanadas to go. The apple one was the I only one we tried as we were stuffed! Overall, spectacular experience. Will return and bring others.

The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.

They have a really good salsa to go with their chips. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas with Queso Blanco and it was delicious, i'll definitely be back to order this again.
