    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.

Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well. Service was fast and friendly. Tacos and burritos were hefty and full of flavor. Ample parking.

Not the mini small taco tortillas you get in a food truck. These are big tacos so getting 2 is enough for me. I've tried their Asado tacos and their quesadillas and their quesabirrias all 10/10.

    Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

The order of tacos came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. I have never had roasted potatoes with my tacos; they were tasty and very buttery.

Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did!
