(I can't believe I didn't leave my review.) When I open Yelp this morning, the first photo I viewed on Yelp's homepage was my photo of my Eagle Scout holding a taco. We were very interested in trying a local spot. And was hunting for breakfast tacos - our favorite breakfast eats. We tried tacos de Julio for the first time and it was flawless. Crispy bacon (NO FAT, NO CHEWY BITES) nice potatoes, fluffy eggs and cheese. Tacos de Julio delivered this beautiful breakfast with that, this quickly became our number one spot. So much that we return the very next day per my son's request. But the breakfast taco didn't touch on that first visit. Bacon was chewy and fatty and my son was over it. Bad taste in his mouth. (Haven't visit since. He shared that he'll like to return, but scared he'll get that last experience repeated) Something sweet that this place does is welcome you with a warm cup of beans. I love this touch. Service very nice and homey feeling. Definitely feels like you're visiting your Tia house. read more

These tacos are the same every-time, consistently delicious and flavorful. The charro beans, give me two. It's in an area that has really changed over the years but the ambiance and staff are always the same. read more

We were craving homemade breakfast tacos with fresh tortillas, so we decided to stop by this spot on our way to the grocery store. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and inviting--with only a few tables occupied, likely because it was a Sunday morning and many people were still at church. We were greeted right away by a friendly staff member who was very patient and helpful as we placed our to-go order. I ordered a chorizo taco, and my daughter went with the tacos de trompo. While I appreciated the flavor of the chorizo, it was a bit too greasy for my taste. If the grease had been drained a little more, I think it would have been spot-on. That said, my daughter's tacos de trompo were fantastic--full of flavor, with fresh ingredients that came together beautifully. I have to admit, I was a little jealous and ended up sneaking a bite. No regrets! All in all, I'd definitely come back--either to try more dishes or, at the very least, to get those delicious tacos de trompo again! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place at all. We went on a Sunday, and there was a roach flying around the dining area. One of the customers nearly threw up and left immediately. To make things worse, I found a hair in one of my tacos, and my friend found another hair in his chilaquiles. It was absolutely disgusting. Honestly, the Katy location is much better in every way. No recomendaría este lugar para nada. Fui un domingo y había una cucaracha volando por todo el restaurante. Uno de los clientes casi vomita y se fue de inmediato. Para empeorar las cosas, encontré un pelo en uno de mis tacos, y mi amigo encontró otro en sus chilaquiles. Fue una experiencia realmente asquerosa. Sinceramente, la locacion de Katy es mucho mejor. read more

We visited here late at night after laser tag for a bday dinner. The service was A+. The ladies there were so attentive and kind. Complimentary beans 5/5 There was completely beans (kinda soupy) it was very warm and comforting. Great way to start the meal! Chips & Salsa 5/5 Tasty! Never can go wrong with chips and salsa. Shrimp cocktail 5/5 Huge portion. Sweet cocktail shrimps. Burrito 4/5 Was just a big taco, technically. It was good and huge. Quesadilla 5/5 Tasty and filling. Tacos plate 4/5 The flavor was good. Shrimp Tacos 3/5 The flour tortillas were a bit on the thicker side. Shrimps were a big small. It was good in flavor though. read more

On March 11th, 2025, my husband and I arrived at Tacos Del Julio located on Airline. We were not aware how late it was but made it just in time before closing. The staff was so welcoming, and the food was amazing. One assumes that since it is closing time the staff will just not care about how the food turns out since they are tired and ready to be with their families. However, we have to thank the gentleman who prepared our tacos al pastor and the gringas. they were so delicious. We are so grateful for all of the staff for having such a great attitude and made us feel at home. Once again, thank you so much for serving my husband and I such an amazing meal for dinner. read more

The queso was watered down and gross. It ran off the chip. Guacamole was bland, no flavor to it at all. Taco Siberia was bland boiled chicken, with their bland guacamole. The whole meal was a let down. read more

I ordered the Monterey plate it looks good but the meat is to salty I have to throw it away will never order again

Service was horrible. The rats caught on the floor and a person trying to hit them with a stick.

The food here is always delicious and the service decent at times . But today we came and our waitress was short and very rude . We ordered our food she dropped it and never came back to check on us . I had to ask her to throw my entree in the microwave. We had to ask for the basics more water , more tortillas for our entrees . She was more worried about closing down the restaurant than making sure her guest were satisfied. It's disappointing if even your 7 head old notices the lack of attention we got . Then our Check there was an additional fee , a credit card feee that we had to pay . I've been working in the industry all my life so this I know the restaurant is supposed to cover not the patrons who come and already spend the money on the food eaten . read more

Thank you TdelJ for my shrimp quesadilla it was exquisite hope people can try I really loved it. Excellent service

This place is so good, I've been coming her with my family for over 5 years and the food is so authentic. The staff is so nice also.

The food was definitely not cooked fresh. Enchiladas were still frozen on the inside. Do not recommend going here.

The tostada siberia is soo bomb. Usually place I've tried have dry chicken. This was actually juicier than most. & most importantly they used AUTHENTIC CREMA! not that sour cream bs. Def coming back. My mom enjoyed her tacos tlaquepaque: barbacoa tacos with chile sauce. read more

I had the best taquitos I have had in a long time, and the service was great .Flautas Especiales fantastic

I have been searching for some amazing street tacos. Something that reminded me of my home base, Los Angeles. I've officially found a spot. And, it's close to home!! Will definitely be back. read more

Great place to eat. The tacos, chilaquiles and flautas are very good! And it's not over priced like the taqueria down the street. Definitely recommend! read more

Authentic mexican food straight from Monterrey! Start the meal off with tasty charro beans that pair great with an agua fresca. For the main course, you really can't go wrong, but my personal favorite is the tacos de trompo served with a generous amount of limes, onions, and cilantro (top those tacos off right!) They have a green and red salsa which are both pretty spicy, but the tacos are so flavorful, you might not even need any. The staff is really friendly, and the service is fast. They have great daily specials and pretty massive serving sizes. Definitely the perfect place to stop and statisfy your taco cravings. read more

Tacos del Julio - Tacos del Trompo - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've never had a bad experience here. The Monterey 400 is delicious. The trompo and fajita meat are so flavorful. People that come here for anything other than the Monterrey food really aren't coming here to enjoy the restaurant. The staff are solid. The restaurant is clean and organized. I will be back. read more

Ordered on Uber and basically got cold enchiladas they blamed it on driver even though I live literally 3 min away on Charlestown colony ..Like they just put my food out after it was cooked waiting for driver and didn't keep it under heat how ignorant of the lady to blame the driver when I live so close. So if you hate cold food never Uber order or in any case order take out..... read more

Tacos del Julio - Cold ass food never Uber order from them they will just put your food out till driver arrives. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Waited about 45 minutes for my order. The place didn't appear to be that busy. Food arrived 5 minutes later after I complained about the waiting. The trompo tacos tasted like they were rushed through. I will not be returning there. read more

I'm a foodie...I think we all are but I'm ALWAYS on the search for new places to roll across my good ole #1 yelping tool, MY TONGUE! I searched for tacos and TdJ popped up in my bookmarks. I read Shawn S.' review and checked the website for a coupon. Sure enough, $1 gets you some flavored drink (I chose lemonade), charro beans (which you already get from the door) and a brisket taco. Seriously, one buck! The taco was absolutely delicious, tender meat...cheese...definite winner. Print that coupon for sure!!!! My coworker and I split the chicken flautas as we weren't far from feeling satisfied after the beans and tacos. I have to say the guacamole on those flautas were utterly disgusting. I really cannot comprehend how a mexican restaurant can funk up guac but TdJ definitely does...they lose a star for that BS, seriously! Once scrapped off my flautas, they were pretty good though. They are served with grilled potatoes which were good but could be cooked a smidgen longer for extra tenderness imo. The service here was great, didn't have any problem communicating with the waitress at all. Definitely return worthy! read more

Certainly not the usual Taco place! Loved the food, the waiter didn't speak good English and apologized to me about it. Not nessasary, but very sweet of him. I'm the one in a Mexican restaurant :) then he gave me some gum with my check. Maybe that was a hint I have bad breath... Who knows but he was pleasant and I will return for both the service and food. It was by far some of the best Mexican food I've had in a restaurant. read more

Food was great but the service was bad, the waitress seemed upset and annoyed the entire time. When she came to give us our food she was very rude and kept giving us attitude. read more

Ive been coming here for 3 years now, before this one I used to go to the long point location, but they changed owners as well as their taste, So I decided to try this location and it was really good, I have tasted almost everything and have never been disappointed, their salsa is the best and they have handmade tortillas which is also really good. If you are coming here as a first timer try Tacos de trompo, and flautas which are my favorites. I do want to give an advice, your enchiladas are good but I want to suggest that you try them with grated cheese rather than cheese crumbs. So "queso rallado" please. Because the crumbs fall off and you eat a piece of tortilla without any cheese. Other than that keep the good work, my family know the owners so they are also very nice and always ask us if everything is good. Our waiter is always the same guy who is also very nice. Thank you. read more

Delicious Barbacoa tacos, ready in a flash for my to-go order. I experienced great and courteous service, and my food was so very good.

Great tacos!!! Love the atmosphere the whole Latino vibe. They had chavo de ocho playing on the tv. We shared the fajita plate and still had leftovers to take home. Salsa very good usually when there's good salsa you know the food will be good. Love the corn tortillas so delicious. read more

If you are from Monterrey, Mexico you will enjoy coming to tacos del Julio. The menu includes tacos all pastor, tacos Tlaquepaque, gringas, campechanas, tostadas and tacos "Siberia style" and more. Everything prepared Monterrey Style. The only thing that you will notice different is that they don use charcoal to grill the meat, but I guess almost nobody do that in houston. read more

Instead of chips and salsa, you're served with charro beans, and salsa for your meal- to start. We ordered tacos de trompo, enchiladas, and Tlalpeño soup.. ALL SO GOOD! Service was quick and nice- our server catered to our child so sweet too!! We will definitely return!! read more

this play sucks now you order tacos and I guarantee you they we'll fall all alert by the time h take your first bite. and the charro beans are literally a bowl of beans. read more

I ordered from Uber Eats- small portions. Low quality on the caldo. Small rice, old lemons, stale tortillas. Tried to say lemon and tortilla quality are not their fault but doesn't one have to check their quality? Portions are so small when I ordered small and large soups. Never again. Waste of my money. read more

When I was pregnant I went here 3-4 times a week. Now my kids are 5 and 6 and they love this place. They were devastated when it was closed due to fire damage for 9 months. I tried to make my own, but the bean soup is the best I have ever had. Add lime , cilantro, onions and a lot of hot green sauce and you will want to slap your mom it's so good! Chicken tostada siberria is delicious! Trompo here is the best I've ever had. Always great service and owner treats you like family. read more

Best barbacoa tacos I've had, probably ever. The beef flautas especiales are so damn delicious. The song "I've had the time of my life" plays in my head as I take each bite. The service is also great and everyone there is polite and attentive. When we've gotten our food to go, we see it's clear they take their time to carefully pack each item. read more

Best tacos I have found in Houston. I have been to two locations and both were fantastic. At night they do get very busy and close a little early due to being so packed. The food is well worth it and prices are affordable. I have attached pictures of our meals read more

Had the fajita plate, came with chicken, steak, shrimp, onions and bell peppers. Seasoned perfectly. Definitely my new Mexican food plug. My sisters ate tacos and they're just like the street tacos you search for at 2am. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. They also give you Mexican cokes read more
