    Some of the best Birria tacos I've ever had. Even the cheese quesadilla I got for my daughter was amazing. Picked it up as a quick snack but so happy that they are open until 3 AM because I plan on coming back tonight while I'm still in town.

    The food is very underwhelming for the price. $13 for two flat quesadillas and little to nothing else except some sauce is kinda crazy.

    Birria Tacos

    I had been wanting to try birria tacos for a while and decided to give Taco Fuego a chance. I got the birria tacos, the fries, and the elote. The birria tacos were really flavorful, and they provided lots of consome for dipping. It was a bit messy to eat so have lots of napkins ready. The fries were also delicious and a great portion size (better value wise than the tacos). I would not recommend the elote at all; it tasted like canned corn with an old topping on it and was quite unpleasant. Taco Fuego is a food truck, so there's no place to sit. The food did take a while to come out and they forgot part of my order, but it was fixed quickly.

    When i tell yall this is the best birria spot in houston i need yall to believe me.. this is my go to spot they never disappoint.

    All ima say is don't order the birria tacos if u don't expect the pay for the sauce that is suppose to come to the tacos. $2.15 to be exact, food good but getting over on people for the small things, I will NEVER go back. And the birria is as soggy asf

    Get the drinks, they are worth it!

    I've been seeing the hype around this place on Instagram, and started following them on Instagram and have been determined to go ever since. The line is quite long, and it takes a while for the food to come out, because it is a taco truck and they make the food fresh order. These would be my only gripes come because the food is absolutely delicious. We got the tacos with the beef and the chicken... I prefer the beef ones, the dip just takes it over the top. My man loves to have loaded fries, so we got those and it was a generous portion, the whole white size takeout container size. I was not planning on getting drinks, but the limeade, the pomegranate and watermelon drink are absolutely delicious, and a compliment the flavours of the tacos very well. Definitely get those!! I am happy that the tacos were not super spicy because my spice tolerance is quite low, but again the dip has a great flavour to it, and We were able to enjoy our tacos in the car. They were put of a couple of the things I wanted, like the flautas, even though we were there early in the evening, but that just shows how they are popular and run out fast. Make sure that you ask for silverware and napkins, because they won't automatically give it to you, and I like to eat loaded fries with a fork so they were a necessity. Overall I would go here again but just be sure that you have enough time since the lines are long, as is the wait time, but it is worth it.

    Texan Taco,  El Gaucho Taco, and Fuego quesadillas.  MUY BUENO!!

    (From November 2020) I found them on my Instagram feed so of course it became a Taco Tuesday deal as I ventured to their truck. Do not be afraid of the poorly paved parking area and tight squeeze; this truck is straight up Dope! Went with the Texas taco, El Fuego taco, and the quesadillas. All were delicious and filing. You might be taken aback by the price but these items are large and will fill you up with goodness. Next time I have to do the birria quesitaco, ramen, and empanadas. Not sure why I didn't order them the first time since they were featured on the IG Post. Oh well. Definitely next time!

    Returned last night and was not disappointed! The quesaBirria at $3.25 a piece is flavor bomb. I'm not sure with the tub of sauce adds much more to the flavor.

    Soggy and not crispy. Super red not your typical Quesabirria tacos.
    Jacob R.

    Very disappointed with this place. I have had Queso birria tacos in many places and the reviews for this place were off the charts. Tacos where soggy and super red.

    Great food, made to order so expect to wait a bit, Overall good service and reasonably priced.

    Taco!

    This place is dang good! Tacos: The brisket is flavorful... not as much as it is at killens or pinkertons but still fire! As you can see in the photos, it is a ton of meat in each taco. Tacos did not disappoint at all and were the highlight!! Tostones: whewww amazing wow. Have made tostones myself and its a hell of a lot of work. They did a great job and its crispy with brisket on and a ton of flavor. Only downsides were that i felt the quesadilla had a bit too much cheese compared to chicken in it and that the service did take longer than I'm used to at a food truck. Overall though its a great taco spot and ill be back for more whenever I'm in TX

We're…read morefrom San Diego, so we know good carne asada and Tacos Frontera is where it's at in Houston! Definitely a taste of home outside of San Diego and Tijuana. Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well. Service was fast and friendly. Tacos and burritos were hefty and full of flavor. Ample parking.

Limited indoor seating, and since it gets busy we usually order to go. When I did dine in it was nice experience, feels authentic like eating a local spot in Mexico. You have the Mexican cokes available, the style of tacos has a big scoop of guac which makes them a bit unique compared to other spots that charge extra for guac. Their tacos are big too! Not the mini small taco tortillas you get in a food truck. These are big tacos so getting 2 is enough for me. I've tried their Asado tacos and their quesadillas and their quesabirrias all 10/10.

    Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

Everything is pretty much green and white. There's covered patio seating.

You can get beer, margaritas, and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also a breakfast menu The food was good, and it didn't take too long to come out. My main issue was the service. The individual taking orders seemed to have a bit of an attitude and just seemed "over it." Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did!
