    I stopped in the food hall to try a couple of the restaurants and I am glad I tried the tacos here. They were delicious. The chicken was cooked so well. It was a smaller taco but definitely worth trying.

    Chicken bowl
    Richard P.

    The chicken bowl I got from Taco Fuego was loaded with toppings that made it very refreshing to eat. The rice could have been a bit less mushy but the flavors they had on it were spot on. The chicken was nicely charred and cut into perfect bites. This was counter service and the cashier was friendly and knowledgeable on making adjustments such as pico on the side. This was located in an old post office that turned into food hall and it was a splendid place to have lunch!

    Birria taco(beef)
    Keyonna R.

    I always get the birria beef tacos and they are always super yummy! The tacos already are super juicy and seasoned amazing, but the consome sauce on the side adds the perfect touch! I wish there was more that came with the meal, essentially you're paying $4.75 for a single taco and that doesn't include the consome sauce either. The service is average, not bad, but nothing extraordinary. Regardless this is always a stop for me when I visit the Post Market!

    cheese covered burrito
    jason j.

    Ordered a $18 crunchwrap, but they gave me a $18 burrito, I said it was fine I would take it so they did not have to remake it. The burrito was not large, but not small, about 2/3 chipotle sized. In general it was a very subpar dish. The steak was dry, chewy and lacked flavor. The cheese inside was not melted and by the looks it is pre shredded low quality cheese. The rice was had hard with undercooked pieces. In general the whole thing needed flavor and sauce. If you are going to charge $18 for a medium sized burrito at least make it with good quality ingredients. This was honestly one of the worst burritos I have had in a long time. I cannot recommend eating at Taco Fuego at The Post, just pick another eatery.

    quesabirria beef combo
    Lisa N.

    After walking around the POST serval times deciding where to go, I noticed quite a lot of people waiting in line for Taco Fuego. I thought to myself, "it must be good then, right?" I ordered 1 quesabirria beef combo ($13.50). Wait time wasn't that bad (10-15 minutes). When I got the food, it was piping hot and I quickly snapped a couple pics before digging in. The cheese was still melty. Tacos wasn't overly salty and the consommé was quite good. Beef was soft and tender. Even my mom really enjoyed it! Not bad.

    Came here on Saturday and ordered the Barría Tacos. My order was quick and piping hot. I looked at the pics on Yelp and was sold. I ordered 1chicken and 2 beef. It comes with cheese, cilantro and pickled red onions. Also the traditional consume'...I will definitely try them again. Enter freely, they've been approved.

    Street Tacos, Fries and Street Corn
    Justin T.

    I brought some fam out to The Post on a weekday to check it out and then grab some lunch. We did our sight seeing and quickly worked up an appetite. We checked out the options and ordered some items from here. First off, the staff was not very welcoming or friendly. It was straight business, no pleasantries. I ordered some street tacos, fries, elotes, a crunchwrap, and a cheese crusted burrito. We waited what seemed like an eternity to get our food. The neighboring stall had our food out quick, so half my family was almost done with their meals by the time we started on this food. The street tacos and elotes were good from what I was told. The crunch wrap and my burrito were not that good. I would say it's maybe a step up from Taco Bell. They looked good on the outside, but inside everything was not hot and it was more random filling than meat. The sauces that came with it were pretty tasty and spicy. This was not a cheap meal by any means, so I was expecting alot more out of this place. Doubt I'll be back!

    Good food, freshly prepared and huge portions!! I'd definitely return for more delicious food!!

    Chicken Street Taco, Chicken Empanada & pineapple agua fresca
    Nicole L.

    First time at the Post and was overwhelmed with the variety of food options here. I decided to go with some tacos and empanadas. A pineapple agua fresca on the side. The food took a little longer than expected considering the nature. The chicken didn't have much flavor but it was cooked well. I really enjoyed the empanadas and the salsa it came with. Typically the salsas are too spicy for me but it's like these were made for me. I loved them. My drink came without ice, but I'm not sure if this is typical since the soda machines are located around the establishment. Didn't bother me, I just figured i got a little more drink to fill my cup. Based on this meal I would only come back for the empanadas.

    Quesabirria Taco - 2 Birra de res & 1 chicken. Baja Shrimp Taco
    Leah W.

    Immediately when I received my food I noticed it looked nothing like what i've seen on there social media and other pictures seen on yelp. Taste-wise, the beef was tough and I barely had any cheese in my quesabirria tacos. I can say that the consome sauce was very good and flavored. I tried the shrimp taco and I wasn't mad at it because the shrimp were good on its own but no so much in the taco. I would've preferred grilled shrimp. Id recommend POST as a whole but I wouldn't recommend taco fuego. Hopefully it was just a bad day :(

    I was curious about the Birria ramen because of the combination of Asian and Mexican food. The combination of food was OK but it's super salty. Honestly I felt like I'm eating 1lb of salt in the bowl. Wonder if the Chef actually taste his own food. If he cuts down the saltiness of it 70% maybe it will help. My friend and I both couldn't eat our ramen. For sure I would never order that again.

    Quesabirria taco with birria consome
    Kyle W.

    I saw birria on the menu and that immediately caught my eye. This was the last place we went to for food before Post Market closed for the day, and it was still fairly busy. I got the quesabirria taco, with the meat as birria de res of course, and also the birria consome to dip the taco in. What I realized is that this place charges for the consome, while other Taco Fuego in Houston seemingly doesn't if you just want a small quantity, and if they do, there are more garnishes like cilantro, etc in the consome. The taco is pretty solid - the shell is a bit toasted which makes it great for dipping the taco in the consome. There is a pretty generous amount of meat within, so even 1 taco is pretty filling. The consome is satisfying to dip and also drink a little, as it is quite flavorful, but it was a bit way too salty for me to enjoy.

    Taco Fuego is a great spot at The Post in Houston. My friends were visiting and were caught by the halal sign on the Taco Fuego menu. We ended up getting Elotes and birria tacos. This was my absolute first time having birria tacos so I was in love with the taste however it would've been even better if it wasnt as tang-y. The Elotes were not the best, it was a little disappointing to bite into since a lot was expected but I believe that the cheese was just a little too overpowering in this case. However, all in all the birria tacos were pretty tasty and the staff were very nice in assisting us to choose which tacos to get. The Post's ambiance in general is super nice and trendy. It almost felt like we were not in America and teleported to another country! Highly recommend if its your first time having birria tacos and if you enjoy some Spice!!

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!
