    Cash only
    Emily G.

    We liked the food it was nothing too special though. No card reader just cash only. The menu with prices Could be updated or posted better.

    Pollo, pastor, barbacoa, & fajita tacos
    Gabrielle E.

    A friend had been telling me about this place for a while and we finally took a trip so I could see what it was all about. It was about a 25 min drive but it was worth it. These were probably the best tacos I've had since I moved to Houston. The food also came out pretty fast, especially considering how much food we ordered in total.

    Tacos and gorditas de pastor
    Lynnette G.

    Great food. Great salsa. Fast service. Cash only. Clean. Nice tables and chairs if you want to dine in. We will definitely be back!

    Fajita tacos

    If you are craving well-priced & yummy tacos late at night, this is the food truck to go to!! Great service. Great people. Better food! I personally like the pastor and my bf enjoys the barbacoa. I always get the horchata (it's very sweet) and he gets aqua fresca de pina.

    Everyone has been hyping this place up! I decided to give it a go. Easy to miss if you are speeding so slow down after mills rd!! Look for a truck attached to a tent ! Walk through there and you'll see tables and a place to order AND a vending machine. The lady speaks English pretty well compared to other places. Even though she got my order wrong it's cool. 3 fajita tacos with onion, 3 fajita tacos without onion on flour without cheese, 2 chicken on corn The chicken was alright, not bad. The salsa verde was pretty friggin good and SPICY! I like that. Make sure you have something to chug down! Beef fajita -the meat was hard, more hard than usual. I went on a Monday, possibly why. I would imagine like a previous review the meat is freshest on weekend. Other than that this will do! I loved that they put avocado and caramelized onion on everything WITHOUT extra charge. I'll come back- on a weekend

    Steak and chicken fajitas, elote, horchata!
    Mel N.

    Who needs tacos from anywhere else! All the food is good and it's so close to where I live. All of the drinks are refreshing as well, and come in pretty big cups, bigger than my big head. Horchata was on point! I've tried a bunch of tacos with different meats; fajitas, barbacoa, chicken, al pastor, they're all amazing. They come with cilantro, onions, and avocado with no extra charge! Plus you get green and red sauce on the side. And the elote, mmmmmmm. These tacos are good and CHEAPPPPPPPPP!

    Chicken and pork tacos
    Patty C.

    Still delicious, but they raised the price of the tacos by a $.25. They sell bottled water, and now they have a vending machine. The makeover they had recently is a nice improvement. Don't forget to ask for the sauce bottles if you dine in at one of their picnic tables. They don't offer it to you otherwise.

    Fajita Sopes
    Gaby H.

    Decided to stop by and check it out with my family and we enjoyed the food very much! Tacos, Sopes and Gorditas are amazing! The ladies running this place are very friendly and fast to make your order! Definitely check this place out!

    This place was packed, but surprisingly the tacos were just okay.. really no flavor besides the grilled onions, cilantro, and green sauce.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. 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!

It was my first time trying out Tex mex style. It was so busy on a Saturday evening. The chips that were given to each table was incredibly warm and the sauces paired so well.

I recommend getting it with red and green sauce on the side and a side of tortillas ro make your own tacos with the eggs, salsa and refried beans. just wow! And that tamale needs its own menu. That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10. They kept refilling my red and green sauce and kept checking up on me throughout. Ambience was great as always. Its a life changing dish. Thanks Teotihuacan for the great breakfast and great service!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.
