First off, I have been coming here for years - I remember when it was an actual bus food truck. Now they have a drive-thru or you can go inside and order. While it isn't the "prettiest" building or the most luxurious setting, do not walk away. The food is delicious--their salsas and juices are delicious. In my opinion, their service is FASTER if you go inside and order rather than through the drive-thru. There is, honestly, nothing negative. I have been here at all hours of the day. Don't miss out! read more

These tacos are either a hit or miss. Sometimes they are so good and I want more! Other times they aren't as good for some reason. I'm not too sure what the difference is. One thing I don't like is the prices. I don't think they should be as expensive as they are. Specially for the size of them. Not to mention. You could spend about 30 and they will only give you a small cupped hand sized container of charro beans. I find that to be rather pretty stingy. lol I've been going to this place since I was a younger child. Now having grown and been to other spots. This one is an okay spot. Specially if it's like last minute or want to go somewhere where it's open no matter what time. read more

Everything is made to love it, all fresh ingredients, the authenticity of Tacomadre is out of this world

The super burrito 11.00 With chopped up beef. It was a big size like a sub foot long. It was very Good. Fresh ingredients they open all night 24 hours It's better than your local fast food like the bell. The cashier lady don't speak English well. I knew the food would be good!! Took a little time. But worth the wait A plus read more

The BEST taco truck on Edgebrook dr! I did a test one day and got 2 tacos from Multiple different trucks on Edgebrook Drive and Taconmadre absolutely blew the competition out of the water. The meat is just so much more flavorful than the other trucks. My order - tres tacos de harina con carne asada y onion y cilantro. Con salsa verde y limón You should be able to speak Spanish to confidently order. I'm a white boy with very limited Spanish and I get the right order every time. read more

BEST late night food your gonna get ANYWHERE Thank me later. Best horchata ever FYI I never can NOT get a large lmao

Best tacos! Love this place and we go often. Very nice service. The gringas are my favorite, but every one I've tried has not disappointed.

The food was good don't get my wrong. I've came here multiple times and loved coming here. When we told Maria about the hair on the food she said it was ours and started laughing. Like how it is mine of if I lifted the tortilla and it was hiding on the plate ? Be so fr. Super unprofessional and she deserves to be fired because of the way she spoke to me and my husband. That's not a way to treat a customer especially because I wasn't even asking for a refund. I still ate the food, it was good don't get me wrong. I just wanted to let them know about the hair so it doesn't happen to another customer and Maria (the worker) wants to be rude. She made side comments, laughed, and tried to escalate a situation for no reason. We never came at her rude or disrespectful towards her and she wanted to act entitled for no reason. read more

We are so addicted! Their tripas are awesome and so are their quesadillas!! We have gotten tacos from here the last 3 days.

Sucks! On the occasions I have come here they either get my order wrong or have crap customer service. The food is okay when they get my order right.. I asked for a large limonda and get a small cup with a whole different drink I didn't even ask for... I had to repeat my order 3 times and the girl still got it wrong. read more

-The quesadilla tacos were so small.. smaller than my hands and they forgot to add my chosen meat. -The rice felt that it was old and was just re-heated. -Too overpriced for the food... wouldn't come again. read more

The food is great except for the rice. They could work on that ish. The place ain't fast food so don't expect them to have your order out in 5 mins. Orders don't take too long but it's still at least a 10-15 min wait. Overall it's good. read more

If yu haven't tried them you're not living life. Everything on the menu is beyond delicious. Staff is always nice and I would definitely recommend the giant fajita quesadilla! Green sauce is amazing. Try it you'll love it. I take all my out of town guests here. They love it too!! read more

One of the only things I miss about living in South Houston. Great hangover food, can be kinda greasy and gets soggy quick. Would reccomend buying with the intention to eat it all asap. read more

Best place to order for company lunches. Highly recommended for big or small gatherings.

Hole in the wall with the best tacos and quesadillas ! Husband loves their tortas! Mainly Spanish speaking staff ,I have had minor issues ordering but I i don't mind ! I make it work ! I don't know what they season the meat with but it's so great ! I will drive out of my way to visit this little gem . Love their limonada as well ! read more

So we've been here before and it was great and all. Come tonight (Friday 12:14 am) not a big line. I called three times to place my order no one ever answered. Get down to order, the man in the now "Taconmadre Express" bus sees me at the window and walks off. This mother just walked off!!! Never said I'll be right with you or anything. The ladies inside saw me standing at the window and never asked to take my order. The man then comes back to the bus, takes my order. The entire time this man has the nastiest look on his face. As if he were in a bad mood. Hell just to get a word out of his mouth seemed to much for him. That's a big No No for me. I'm giving you my money!! 15 minutes later, my order is ready. Get home, the fajita meat is tough and dry!! I'm having to chew more than usual. If that makes any sense. Overall my experience tonight was just horrible that I don't think I'll be bringing my hard earned dollars here. AND TO TOP IT OFF, THEY HAVE A COMPLAINTS NUMBER POSTED..I CALLED.... AND AGAIN NO ANSWER. The fudge you have it up there for. read more

Love the Beef Fajita and Cheese Quesadillas! Call in your order for sure as they are slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww in the kitchen! Also make sure you check your bad and have all your extras! I do think they need a better way of running the front of the truck to keep lines moving! read more

Taconmadre reminds me of that Gloria Trevi song I loved so much! Las madres me enseñaron en la escuela. en la escuela me enseñaron puras Madres. Its a good day when the name actually fits the product. One of my favorite taco trucks on Edgebrook. We have so many choices here. Taco Truck on every corner how do you decide??? The prices used to be cheaper but they have been getting recognition all over H-Town. It was inevitable that prices would go up. I am so grouchy at how much traffic was here. This was my little piece of Heaven. I told nobody and still everyone knows. Prices are still very decent, and they definitely deserve all the business. The food is always to go, they don't have any seating but people use the old restaurant across the parking lot. Some of us sometimes just bring our lawn chairs and tailgate. read more

A few years later and this place is still solid. My favorite thing to get are the Campechanas. If you come after a night of debauchery, beware! The lines and wait are super long. During the day time wait is minimal and food is fresher. read more

Great little taco truck nearby. I'm new to the area and on the search for my new go-to for street tacos. The offerings of this food truck are that of what you would find inside of a restaurant. The barbacoa tacos are amazing as well as the cheese fries - you can't go wrong with cheese fries! Sopes with beef are really good and the green sauce they give you has the perfect spice! read more

My got to place for corn tacos. Never disappointed. They used to have a truck but moved to the building same parking lot.

After moving into the area, we quickly found out that Edgebrook the northside of 45, is a crazy stretch of taco trucks. This one seems to be one of the most popular. I couldn't really figure out if the building is only open at certain times or is that only for dining and the cooking takes place in the truck? Either way, we came one morning for some tacos. My fiancee got 3 corn tacos, pastor, barbacoa, and fajita beef, I got the same three meats on flour. We saw that there was a significant price difference, at some places it's the exact same price, just a preference, but here the reason the price is different is that the corn tacos are much smaller. I enjoyed my flour tacos, my favorite was the barbacoa, the beef was too salty and the pastor was too dry. I did like the crisp they put on the outside of their tortilla. I am open to trying some of the other trucks along edgebrook, but this one did not impress me enough to return. read more

I love taco stands and so far this is my favorite. I've been going to this one for years, ever since they were a roach coach :). Now they're a small restaurant with a drive-thru. The ex-hubby introduced me to it and I still continue to go. Even my relatives from Louisiana make me take them here when they visit. They always get the tortas and burritos. I can't remember exactly what they ordered, but the burritos ($5) were huge! I love tacos al pastor or con chicharrones! My usual order are tacos de maiz al pastor ($1.50/ea and I usually get about 5 for me and the hubby). All I can say is mmm mmm mmm....squeeze lime all over those suckers, spread the cooked onions, cilantro, and green sauce and oh my gahhhh! Finger-lickin' good. It also comes with frijoles a la charra (and it has bacon!). Everything is just mmm mmm good. read more

Best taco truck in town. You gotta try to quesadillas omg ! They accept cash or card which is a plus !

Great food great prices yummy yummy yummy!!! I always go here for Ginormous Burritos!! It's really good. read more

Food is good but since when did they stop giving out with drinks when you order a combo meal?? I've been coming here for years and it always came with it. Now I ordered today and they told me it doesn't include it anymore wtf. I told them that Combos come with drinks wtf Smh read more

By far my favorite taco truck. We drive across Houston to eat here. I'd really drive almost across Texas - they are that awesome! Open 24 hours so they are always an option! Good customer service and generally pretty quick, seeing as how everything you order is cooked right then. And bonus - green (the color of the truck) is my favorite! read more

I'm only giving this 2 stars because I'm not going to lie food is good. But customer services and getting orders correct is somehow beyond there control. I always call in a order expecting it to be ready upon be paying for it. But no not this place they tell you 15 minutes over the phone and I wait 30 minutes before I leave to go get it and when i actually get there hand the money over that is when they start making my order. Because I have to wait another 10-15 minutes extra before my food comes out. And I tell them exactly how I want my order they still manage to fuck it up.... They really need to change that sign of there call ahead of time to avoid lines because it really is bullshit. read more

Had to check out this place cause it came highly recommended from a friend. It use to be a restaurant but now the restaurant is closed and all that's left is a food truck on the opposite side of the restaurant. If you're heading down Edgebrook, the street that he food truck is on, you will also see a number of food trucks line up along both sides of the street. I ended up driving too far and missing it. Had to look up the original restaurants address to find it. You can tell this food truck apart from the others because this one is green. There is a lot to choose from at this food truck but I ended up ordering 4 corn todos for $6.00. They were $1.50 for corn tacos and 2 something for flour tacos. Got two fajitas, one pastor, and one barrbacoa. They also gave me packets of red and green salsa. The tacos were good but they didn't blow me away. I thought they were a bit expensive for being so small. Maybe the other choices on the menu will be better bang for my buck. Will definitely have to try. read more

Not only was there bad service the food was horrible and overly priced!!! First and last time!!!! Was charged extra items if it wasn't for my wife I would never have known. The Tacos should have the word "MINI" in front on their name. Three tacos which are about 1.5 inches long without exaggeration for $8, the sopes should be called tostadas! read more

Ok yes, the man in the window lacks customer service skills and is kind of rude but you're buying food from a food truck and most likely aren't tipping so the service really didn't bother me nor did I care for it. Now the food is delicious! So much flavor and they put everything in the bag! Napkins, salsas (both green AND red), beans, and forks. We waited 13 mins for a #14, 7, and 4. The only reason this rating is at a 4 and not a 5 is because I got the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life. I'm pretty sure it was the beans since my fiancé didn't eat them and didn't get sick. I was sick for 4 days before finally feeling better. I'd go again even if it meant getting another round of food poisoning. read more

I asked my students to recommend a good taco truck and they told me to go to "the first green food truck on Edgebrook", or Taconmadre. Well, my kids were right! The first time I went I got tacos (of course-heck, it was even a Tuesday!), I think it was #22, and they were awesome. I honestly wanted to go back for more. The second time I went I totally collaborated with my students in what I should get (the menu is online). They told me to get the Torta. I'll be honest, to me it was just a burger with ground beef and sour cream. It was good, but not what I expected. My fault that I didn't realize what I was getting (actually, I blamed my students who insisted I order a Torta, lol). The rice and beans are very good, better than most sit-down restaurants, and the salsa is SPICY . I would go there more often, but it's out of my way-there are no taco trucks by me . I recommend calling in your order before hand because they do make it fresh when you order, and the window where you order and wait for your food is right in the sun in the afternoon. The people are pretty nice, too. read more
