    My soft taco breakfast plato
    Taryn C.

    I like it so much...I went twice in three days for breakfast! Breakfast tacos are a huge deal in Houston. And to be honest, Houston is HELLA confusing to this New Yorker. I stayed in the downtown area so I could walk places. But places were hard to find because of the intricate tunnel and underground system. I suppose it makes sense because it's so flippin hot there. I digress. We stumbled upon this accidentally, and by stumbled I mean it was underground and we almost missed it. What is it with these mini malls underneath corporate buildings?! Anyhoo, when I did find Tacos A Go Go though...I remember thinking: "welcome home." It's tough for me to find good authentic Tex mex. If you do it wrong in Texas, you're doing it wrong, period. And they...did not do it wrong lol. I got the soft taco breakfast plato. You can get two tacos (corn or flour), breakfast potatoes and refried beans. This might be a hole in the wall. But the food was perfection. Their tortillas were amazing. I got potato, egg and jack cheese and chorizo, egg and jack. You can get lots of combos - egg base with two toppings out of like 100. The next day I got some veggies in my eggs and that was even spectacular. The decor was great. Lots of Dìa des los Muertos stuff. Great music too - for a hole in the wall! And what can I say about their potatoes and beans. It was all so very very good. Cheap too. So keep doing what you're doing y'all! Don't know when I'll be back in Houston...but I'll definitely be back.

    Breakfast "burrito"

    Check your food before you walk away. I ordered and paid for a breakfast burrito, but they made a taco instead. It was also missing an ingredient.

    Located in the tunnels, the shop is very small and seating very limited. Main issue here is the very slow and inaccurate service for breakfast. Had to wait around 15 min for a few tacos and the order was messed up in a sloppy manner. The quality isn't there compared to the Heights store either. Better breakfast taco options in the tunnels at a similar or lower price point.

    Always a favorite, this location is in the tunnels. Lunch time burrito bowl with grapefruit jarritos

    Tasty burrito bowl. Plenty of food!

    Tasty tacos, good prices. I really like TAGG. The tunnel location has two registers running, so you can place your order fairly quickly. Meat choices are fish, pork, lamb, chicken and beef. You can get a meal for under $10, including taco plates with rice and beans, and burritos or bowls with tortilla chips. You may have to wait about 10 minutes for your food, but it's worth the wait. Don't forget to grab some of the awesome taco sauce. I also like the fact that once you enter your email address for an emailed receipt, your email address will be kept for the next time you order. There is another location near my house in Katy, and I couldn't be happier.

    They are a quick and easy place to go to after church. Their food is not 100% authentic, but you can forgive them. Don't order the horchata as its in a can and the barbacoa doesn't have that same homemade taste I'm used too, which is why I had to knock off a star. However, the breakfast tacos are delicious and the food overall is tasty and worth exploring. Since it's in midtown, it can get busy with local business folks and trendy hipsters wanting to be seen, which can make finding a table a drag at times. That's probably the worst thing about this place the lack of space. Imagine them a step above Taco Cabana, but not quite your mother's home made Mexican food. They make up for the authenticity with a neat design that has a lot of Hispanic influence, but you can't fake barbacoa tacos. They are either amazing, terrible, or okay. Okay barbacoa tacos are four star worthy. Come, enjoy, but know some of your home made staple just lack that pizzazz.

    This is a good little spot in the tunnels. Very busy area and it's a little awkwardly shaped so it's hard to figure out where to go. I checked yelp for ideas before ordering. Beef Fajita taco - typical beef fajita street taco. Full of only a few ingredients which works for me. Tater taco - This was a bit of a let down. Flavor wise it was fine but, it's essentially a tortilla with some tater tots thrown on top and then other toppings added. Impossible to eat by hand so I had to get a fork. I love me some tater tots but I wanted it to be a taco that I could eat properly. special queso - I say special because I don't remember the exact name. It's the one with chorizo and stuff added. Pretty tasty. Chips were super greasy but my friend and I wanted a greasy treat to celebrate a long work week. Overall, probably my favorite taco place in the tunnels. Likely the only one I would be able to find again.

    Skull Table

    We visited Tacos A Go Go during the morning rush. Their service is always very professional. We dined on the migas plate. The eggs have jalapenos, crispy chips, and cheese. They also offer a side of black or refried beans, a side of grilled potatoes. I would have added a side of queso fresco and avocado, and a lot more seasoning. Their salsa rack is awesome. I will definitely visit this location again.

Inside it is a one room eatery with counter service. My first visit was to try the Birria Burrito for $16 with the meal delivered about 10 minutes later. It consisted of their Birria meat cooked for 4 hours mixed with chorizo, cheese, rice, beans and sour cream all wrapped in a large flour tortilla seasoned with their special red colored seasoning. With the meal came a cup of consomne'. Guy Fieri would say, Welcome to Flavortown! It was delicious. The Birria beef was so tender and the flavored flour tortilla with that proprietary red seasoning they use was perfect. It was a very filling meal and well worth the price. So much so, I thought about it the next day. Another visit was to try one of their specialities, the Quesabirria for $14. This meal consisted of 3 grilled and crispy corn tortillas seasoned again with their special red colored magic dust. The tortillas had the delicious Birria meat and cheese inside and I again loved them. The tortillas are only slightly crispy and the meat, cheese and tortillas memorable. This meal also came with a cup of consommé for dipping. Another nice thing about eating here is the customer service. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The guy bussing the tables acted more like the owner than an employee with his helpfulness and the actual manager came out to check on us. Impressive for a counter service restaurant. Tacos Dona Lena deserves its reputation as one of the best restaurants of its kind. Incredible food and employees all at very reasonable prices.

There were a nice crunch to the tacos and it wasn't too oily to me. ** flour tacos - 4/5 Good for tacos, no more to say. ** horchata - 2/5 (not pictured) I also got the horchata but was not a big fan but I'm usually picky with horchata when I go to any restaurants.

We pulled up to this food truck and, while placing our order, I instantly had the feeling that this crew knew exactly what they were doing. That impression proved to be spot on as soon as I took my first bite. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and packed with the kind of simple, honest ingredients that make great breakfast tacos so satisfying. No gimmicks, no unnecessary fuss -- just well-executed food that delivers exactly what you're hoping for. The service was efficient, the operation ran smoothly, and it was easy to see why there was a steady stream of customers.

Since it was my first time here, I ended up ordering 1 chorizo and 1 asada taco, churros, limon aguas, and my friend got the asada taco as well and a hortchata! Since it was super busy (especially on saturday night) it was about a 30 minute wait foe our food but it was well worth it! They hand out free chicharrones and they were super crunchy and a nice snack while we waited for our food. The limon aguas was super refreshing especially in the summer heat and the horchata was really good! We sat at the counter top that overlooks the kitchen. I love that the open kitchen concept so you can see them making your food right in front of you! Everything smelled so good so I was excited for my food. I love that they give radishes, cucumbers, and plenty of limes on the side. I definitely love all of the toppings and the more the better! I tried all of the salsas and the salsa de chile de arbol was by far my favorite! super spicy but had so much flavor. The chorizo was good but a little dry for my liking. I did just want to try it so I can try more than one flavor but I think I would get it again as a breakfast taco with egg instead. The asada was my favorite of the two so much flavor and plenty of meat! I was content with these 2 tacos but I could have definitely eaten more if we didn't order churros as well! The churros came with classic condensed milk and dulce de leche which is just carmelized condensed milk. The churros were crunchy and warm on the outside and had a chewy texture like mochi on the inside! Super yummy and not too sweet! I liked both sauces and would definitely get this again. Overall, I had a great experience and I will be craving the tacos until the next time I can come back! I can't wait to try a lot of their other menu items as well. Definitely recommend!

I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.
