Yea it was delicious & truly authentic home cooking! Everything on the menu is a must and you won't be disappointed!

No exageración with this just hella good, simple, and authentic mexican. You'd think it was your own mom serving it up. Shows a love for the craft of the food. read more

This is specially delicious after a night out partying. You might not remember the next morning what it tastes like but not worries that just means it went down smooth. Taconmadre even if you take forever on my weekend orders I will always be back. read more

I hear a lot of Hispanics complain about "Authentic Mexican Restaurants" being deceiving Tex-Mex food. Sure, I'm Hispanic myself, but I never care as long as the food is good. I'm open to everything. But sometimes Hispanics are tied so much to their culture, food just doesn't taste the same here, and that's understandable because from what I've eaten in Mexico, I'd be the same way if I grew up there. Well, that's for the most part. I haven't been to Mexico in years, but one thing I do remember is food and their settings. It was in Mexico where I saw my very first vehicular restaurant. In short, it's usually a bus or a large truck with a kitchen in the back. You get your food right then and there. It almost brings new meaning to the "drive-thru" concept. These places are very lacking in the sense that you usually don't have restrooms, sinks to wash your hands, or even a place to sit. But for what these places lack in, they definitely make up for with food. Taconmadre is as authentic as a "real" Mexican restaurant can be. Not only do you have a mirror image of what you'd expect from Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, but the food is as fresh and delicious as any "real" Mexican food I've eaten in Mexico. The prices are usually cheap. One of my favorite feats is the pricing. When something is listed as $5, they mean it. No taxes. $5=$5. $2.50=$2.50. I wish every business did their pricing like this. Another feat is the fact that it's open 24 hours. They serve breakfast in the mornings and lunch during lunch, etc. They're usually swamped on weekend nights because clubs El Rodeo and Liquid are right down the street and a lot of people eat there before or after their clubbing, but they do a good job not to keep you waiting too long. All and all, the food is great and as authentic as Mexican food can be. I'd love to see them open a restaurant instead of having a bus--or what we in Edgebrook call it: "The Roach-coach." (Not trying to infer anything with the name). They do have tables with seats, but only a handful, and that's the only thing keeping this place from getting one more star. P.S. Supposedly a rapper by the name "Chingo Bling" owns this place. That's what I heard at least. Doesn't matter. Eat there. read more

Taconmadre - The best off Edgbrook - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Their cashier was sick one day. A few days later, I tested positive for COVID-19. They need to have more control and be sure that their employees are not getting customers sick. I can't image how many people must have gotten sick from this person. read more

This place does NOT honor their sign. It clearly states in English and Spanish that your meal is free if they don't give you a receipt. We spoke with owner and his reply was "We are not here to give free food". We suggested they take down the sign if they are not going to honor their sign. Owner and Claudia Ramirez were both rude and stated "well don't come back". Plus the food Sucks. Don't eat here.. It's disappointing that people give our ethnicity a bad reputation. read more

Taconmadre - This is not true. They need to take sign off it they are not going to honor it. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

El Borrego down the street was packed and so I opted for this place. There was only 1 other couple there who ordered right before me. 20 minutes goes by and couple of people who ordered AFTER me received their food. My husband then started complaining and realized they forgot our order... Finally 30 minutes later in 40 degree weather... we got our tacos that shouldn't have taken no more than 15 minutes. The tacos were bleh. They added too much onions and cilantro which overpowered the taste of the tacos. Would not recommend or come back. read more

Horrible service, cut me off and began helping a person behind me who had a bad order, argued with the customer about his order as I waited to put mine in. I ordered over 20 tacos and asked them to put in 5 charros. They only gave me 3, and I told them if I had to pay for the others I would, when the lady stuck her hand out asking me for the money before she put the charros in the bag.. They gave me attitude about that and about me asking for more than 2 red salsas for that large order! Didnt get a receipt, but didnt bother to bring it up against their "no receipt you may get your order for free" since I was dissatisfied with their service. Not to mention the cilantro they gave me was old and the charros were cold. El Borrego would never treat me like this. Plenty of tacos stands on the strip, I'll take my business elsewhere.. read more

I use to love eating at their taco truck location off Bellfort, because the food was always hot, made to order and the guy behind the window was super friendly. We decided to try their dine in location today and it was an epic fail. Don't get me wrong, the food was hot and fresh, authentic Mexican food, but the part of explaining our missing order didn't fair too well. We ordered the nachos especiales and the nachos michochana. When the girl behind the counter handed us our order, she also read over what we ordered. We grabbed the bag and went on our way. When we pulled out the order in the car, it turns out we were missing the nacho michochana. I called the restaurant and informed one of the girls that the order was missing and she kindly said, come on over and we will take care of it. When we arrived back in the restaurant, the same girl I spoke to, requested that I bring the actual order inside so she could verify that she handed us everything. I had to iterate to her that it was not everything, therefore I called and returned back to the restaurant. She reverted to speaking Spanish with me, when she clearly spoke English fluently on the phone earlier and when she took down our order. I had to tell her once again, the order of the nacho michochana was missing. We were not asking that they remake both nachos. I only asked that the order that we placed and paid for was given to us. After much quarreling about the one missing food order, she finally gave in and handed us our nacho michochana. It took her fifteen minutes to stand there and argue with us about remaking the order since she insinuated we did not like the food. The food was exceptional, but not as good as their Bellfort location taco truck. The portions for the nachos were massive. I don't think I'll return to this location, due to lack of service and people forgetting to actually give you what you ordered. read more

Average on styles of tacos but the tripa is muy bueno when they get it just right. I'll be coming back if I find myself in the area.

Legit street tacos. The area it's in is really sketchy so I wouldn't go at night alone but the food is really authentic & the guy there is pretty nice. read more

Awesome food!! Great tacos and rice. I will definitely be back. Will recommend them to all of my friends!!

There's at least 5 taco trucks within a half mile drive on this street. I only had a chance to try taconmadre, but i'm pretty happy i picked this one. Order loud and preferably in Spanish. I got a #3 combo (2 flour tacos, rice and beans, and agua fresca) with barbacoa. The tortillas are crisp and the barbacoa is so tender and fatty. Really awesome tacos, but i'd forget about the combo. Rice and beans are just rice and beans, nothing out of the ordinary, and the agua fresca is a little too sweet and forgettable. The truck also has a burgers and a whole bunch of other food options. They take card as well, so don't worry about not having cash. The only annoying part is how they package salsa into tiny bags that explode as you try to open them. read more

So I'm aware that there's a few of these around town, but if there anything like the one in South Houston I'm not interested on visiting the other ones. The tacos are over priced, they aren't big enough, the "fresh lemonade" wasn't so fresh and cost way more then two tacos together and finally the frijoles charros just tasted strange. One thing that also really bothered me was that i literally poured the whole little baggie of green salsa they give you and yet I couldn't taste the salsa! The green salsa is an important factor when it comes to eating tacos and I was just extremely disappointed, I expect way more from Taconmadre. To be completely honest I only decided to try it out because they accept credit cards. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody, unless if you're anything like me, don't like to carry cash and have to settle with a taco truck that does accept cards. read more

Been to this place a few times. Their tacos are mediocre. I feel other taco trucks on edgebrook are far better. read more

Taconmadre - a hamburger and a hamburger on a plate - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great Tacos! Good price! There are a MILLION and 1 taco places in Houston, honestly its hard to get it wrong. However There are ONLY a FEW taco trucks in Houston that really do get it right. Taconmadre is one. Add avocado to your tacos! Also menu isnt only limited to tacos, in fact the last times that I've been going I've been Strictly going hard on their "chicharron gordita" To die For!! When you're a taco truck and your gordita is better than the gorditas from the place, literally directly across from you, and actually/specifically called "Gorditas aguascalientes" you're doing something right. read more

First time visit. Ordered 6 tacos, paid 13.50. Only received 4 tacos and the barbacoa was too fatty to eat. Pretty disappointing.

Hands down the BEST tacos I've had in Houston!!!!!! It is so hard coming from CA, were you get authentic Mexican food to come here to Houston where it consists of TexMex. So when I discovered this hidden treasure, I was in joy!! This place is amazing. The pastor tacos are amazing!!! I try to go any chance I get! Definitely recommend!!! read more

The food is really good but their service is horrible. The way they talk to their customers is unacceptable. The man that's always at the window has the nastiest attitude ever. read more

I don't know what happen to this place.. Their Tacos used to be the best! I went today to get the usual but to my surprise the tortillas were cold and the meat was reheated.. The cooked onion was cold like they cooked it last night. It's not the what it used to be.. Will miss this place because I'm not going back.. read more

Bought tacos and got beans too. Started eating the beans and bit into a roach. I ate half and got to spit out the rest. Worst taste in my life! Could not stop throwing up! read more

Taconmadre - DO NOT BUY FOOD FROM HERE. JUST BIT INTO A ROACH!! ATE HALF OF IT! - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Horrible service ! Wouldn't like to go back there again. It was my first time ordering on the phone, the guy that answer was so rude. He didn't even let me finish my order, he was cutting me off midway. I told him that I wasn't finished and when he got my whole order he hanged up without saying how much it was. I was so confused, I have never experienced something like that. When I got there, they messed up my whole order didn't even got me my 3 orders of fries. Missing half of my dozen tacos. Disappointing. read more

It's ok, over priced taco truck, taxing me to sit down and eat inside my car, lady was nice. Lemonade taste like shit! Jk but expected better. My guy drag me out here bragging it was the best. read more

I've had good Mexican food from Sout Texas to San Diego, California. You have to explore the menu the best dish at one place might not be the best dish at another. I'm glad to see a couple of West coast favorites served right here in houston... I like the super fries (like super nachos but with fries) and I love the fajita burrito with rf beans cilantro and onions... (on the West coast they call it carne asada instead of fajita) around here if you use the term asada you get guisada... but it's very good either way. If they would make the fries crispy I would give five stars. But whatever don't take wooden nickels from Indians and don't buy half raw potatoes from a Mexican... read more

The wait is a little long but it's very worth it. The food tastes great! They are open 24 hrs which is even better! love it!

The guy taking my order kept cutting me off while rolling his eyes at everything I'd order. In the middle of me telling him what else I wanted to order he starts taking someone else's order. There was no need to be rude and impatient because there was literally just one person behind me. The food was great but the customer service was trash. read more

This is a place were the locals will show up. The food and service was pretty good. Your typical tacos and burritos from a authentic Mexican Restaurant. The tacos had some really good flavor and the price was really good. read more

One of the best if not the best taco trucks tacos in East Houston. Very cheap too. I just wish they were located in a different area. For one, their parking lot is way too small, there is hardly any light on the street, and well the area seems unsafe tbh. And even though their taco sauce is amazing, they serve in a small bag, if you are traveling and you are not careful enough you could end up spilling all the sauce on you. But if i was to just judge the food it would be 5 starts. Please bring a taconmadre to Baytown. read more

Recently moved to lake Houston and if there is one thing I could have taken with me from the southeast it would be this little green truck!!! They're fucking amazing, specially when it's 4am read more

They always fucked up your order, they like, - so you want fajitas tacos no onions, I'll give you chorizo tacos with onions and grilled onions extra- In their defense all the tacos, they're so good! read more

Tacos are ridiculously delicious! A little much on the cilantro, but that's my fault for not saying anything. Glass bottle Coke's are bomb, and beans were really good. A little pricy for the average taco truck, but you get what you pay for . . . Excellent tacos. My new favorite place to eat lunch. read more

The food is...okaay. Some nights the food is warm and fresh and other nights the food is OLD and COLD. Every single time I go I order in the drive thru and every single time the wait is exceptionally long, they take your order and if there is a long line, they ask you to park in the strip center next door. I have had to wait 30-45 minutes before. I waited so long because I had already paid and not because I couldn't wait to eat my MEDIOCRE gordita combo, which I had ordered fajita and got chicken fajita. I ordered in Spanish and they got my order wrong before, so when I went back I ordered in English and they also kept getting it wrong. Not sure what language you have to order in. I guess the people who take the orders do NOT know the menu, because if you order a combo # they ask you to tell them what it is. In that case, why even have combo #'s? Even when I phone ahead my order and try to pick it up in the drive thru, they make you wait. read more

Been coming here for a while since I been back and I can't stop coming back. Food is great and I don't wish to venture out and try another bus lol read more

Not going again.. they have really good food but there prices are NEVER the same I feel like they are taking extra money on the side.. I've been going 4 times a week for the last two weeks mostly during the mornings, most of the time it's a guy in the morning and ever now an then it's a lady, she's the one who always charges extra..I order the exact same thing all the time and the price never a different until she's working to the point I started saving my receipt to prove to her it's sad shame!! read more
