Service was very kind and attentive. Food was delicious and filling! The ambiance is very nice for lunch or dinner stops! The parking lot is just small. I got the pork belly taco, birria taco, and large pineapple agua fresca. The agua fresca was so fresh and I loved it! The tacos were really filling and I loved that they came with complimentary sides! I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu!
What I had: Street taco (pollo) 3/5 Good flavor but the chicken was tough and dry. There was a really good amount of chicken in that taco though. Fish taco 5/5 great flavor. My waiter warned me that the chipotle sauce was spicy. I didn't think it was spicy at all, so I added the habanero salsa to it and now I'm suffering (in the way I wanted to lol). The only downside I found was the logistics behind eating this thing. It's super tall, the fish is one big piece. So anyway I tried to eat it, it started falling apart and I just felt like I was getting chipotle sauce all over my face. If I was in a date, I wouldn't get this. Horchata 4/5: you can tell it's fresh! Not the type that's a mix. I just didn't like the chunks of cinnamon stick that I would get occasionally. They were out of flan so I didn't get to try that (big sad face). The staff was super friendly and the place is such a cute atmosphere. I would recommend.
We've been here twice so far. In our first visit, we tried the tacos. The birria taco was really good. It was stewed 'birria' meat wrapped around a crunchy shell. During our visit, we saw another table eating something that looked like a quesadilla, but much bigger - like the size of a bicycle wheel. It turned out to be the 'Pizza Birria'. We had to try that. And so we did - during our second trip, we had the Pizza Birria, along with something else that looked interesting - the Birria Ramen. The Pizza Birria was cheesy and delicious. It was also huge, easily feeding a party of 4. We hardly had any room left for the ramen. The ramen was good as well - it was a large bowl of noodles soaked with birria stew. Between the two, we liked the Pizza better. Value was great - less than $25 for this huge pizza. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was really cozy. We'll certainly like to try the various other dozen or so Birria dishes in the future.
Great service! Very friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and comes out pretty quickly. We had the cucumber lemonade and the hibiscus lemonade. Both were so fresh and good and all their stuff is made fresh in house, never frozen. The queso is decent. A little pico de gallo would really set it off. I had a birria, chicken, and asada tacos. Very well seasoned meat. The birria taco meat is the best I've ever had. I don't even usually like birria meat. We also had nachos. They were huge. Enough for 2-3 people. Also very good. I'll definitely be back.
Went for dinner on a Thursday and absolutely fell in love. I got the taco patron, the norteno taco, and the vampiro taco (which is a tostada) and my friend got the birria taco, the taco patron and the al pastor taco. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were extremely generous. The taco patron is STUFFED with shrimp and the melted cheese inside the corn tortilla is perfectly melted and crispy on the outer edges of the tortilla. The shrimp was well seasoned and juicy. (8/10) The norteno taco was also delicious with the same crispy cheese but all over the tortilla this time. It was huge and the beef was tender and well marinated. I also enjoyed the cabbage and onions for a touch of freshness (8.5/10) The vampiro taco was my personal favorite with the juiciest meat and a big dollop of guac on top. The tostada was perfectly crunchy and a great item to try if you are craving something different than the traditional taco. (9/10) The tacos came with pico de gallo, guac, radish, grilled cactus, and charro beans without and additional charge. The prices are very reasonable and the service was quick and friendly. I would definitely come back!
It was my first time trying this restaurant after a long walk at the park, we wanted to try something new and we were interesting in this place because some of the tacos looked very interesting. The service was super friendly and wonderful. The drinks were good as well we got some specialty margaritas and specialty tacos were to die for, the pork belly one really sparked my interest.
This was a colorful restaurant featuring many pictures of Frida Kahlo inside. We were the only customers there when we arrived on a Wednesday evening, but by the time we left, the restaurant was pretty full. We got started off with some complimentary chips and salsa before ordering. We ordered: - Tacos: Birria (extra $1 for cheese), pescado, asada, pastor, lengua - Aguas frescas: Pineapple, horchata You get a free side of beans, radishes, grilled onions, or cactus if you order 2 tacos. For the regular tacos, I thought they were just ok. But I loved the quesabirria tacos! These were probably my favorite that I've tried in Houston so far. The tacos were super crispy, and remained crispy throughout the entire meal. The meat was so juicy and tender, and they were very generous with the portions. They also brought out 4 different sauces ranging from very mild to spicy habanero. I neeeed my tacos to be spicy, so I was very happy that the habanero sauce was actually spicy! For the aguas frescas, I really enjoyed the pineapple one. The horchata was ok, I thought it was bland. Will definitely be back here again for more birria tacos and to try more drinks!
When I saw Frida all over the walls, I knew it would be a beautiful meal- Frida never lies! To date I've tried the guava infusion margarita, tamarind margarita, watermelon margarita, birria, quesobirria, birria quesadilla, taco el patron, fish taco, and all of their sides except the beans. Don't judge me! Here's what I've learned: *birria over quesobirria *this is not fast casual, come ready to sit down and relax *not all margs are made equal. Boogie, sweet, whatever your preference, ask before you order! They have so many options. If you're a fan of birria you HAVE to add this spot to your list!
I placed my order online for pickup on my way home. This is my second time eating their food and I am a huge fan. First off, their portion sizes are huge. I ordered and my food was ready in 35 minutes. I walked in and they had my food all packed and ready to go. They are always so nice. Everything we ordered was very good. I have found my new place for Mexican food going forward. The Birria taco was one of the best things I have ever eaten. It was full of meat, seasoned and had onions and peppers throughout. I dipped it in the sauce and was in heaven. I will definitely get this again. We also ordered steak and pork Al pastor tacos and the tacos patron with shrimp with beans and rice. Their green salsa is my favorite, spicy and flavorful.
We did not agree on el Patron, I liked it more than he did, but that's life. Their guacamole was exceptional and I could absolutely eat that by the bucketful, kid you not. Overall, he found things just a bit too spicy for his palate although he did love drinking from the large jar servings of Horchata. The chili Relleno and shrimp enchilada was OK, not my favorite. For dessert we tried the coffee flan which has a cake-like bottom, and the churros plate with ice-cream and dipping sauces. Our waitress was attentive. As a fan of artist Frida Kahlo, the artwork on the walls was a nice surprise. This isn't my new Mexican restaurant, still on the hunt for that, but I enjoyed having their sizable menu options from which to choose.

So there's a new spot by our home it use to be a really good Italian spot (RIP). So we stopped by here to support. The tacos were okay, not much seasoning. We had got the tacos and burrito it was pretty pricey, my mom also ordered the margarita and she wasn't to thrilled about it. But looking around their service was awesome. They had great paintings, hoping this place does good read more

This place hit the mark and will certainly be back. Service - 3 rotating waitresses continued to check on me . One I believe was the owner which I love and hate but understand. Food - these were some of the best tacos I've had on the north side of Houston. Full of flavour and tasted freshly made. Cleanliness - past the test. I'll certainly be back read more
We found this on Uber eats and gave it a try. It was pretty good! My favorite was the birria taco! It's a must. Next time I'm getting the birria quesadilla. We also got beef, lengua, and pork tacos All good except I just don't think tongue is my favorite. It was tender but flavor wasn't for me. Also got a vampiro tostado which was really yummy with lots of guac on top! The price is Very reasonable. Edit* Thanks for your quick response!! I didn't think they had dessert because it wasn't offered on Uber Eats App. I should have checked here first. But I do wish dessert was on the Uber Eats app. I love a good flan! Once I get desserts this will definitely be changed to 5 stars! I will definitely order again! read more

Oooooooh! If you want some scrumptious birria, this is the spot to go! The consome is super tasty and if you're a size queen, then know that you won't find any issue with these birria tacos They serve chips & salsa upon arrival to curb the hanger and if you order guac, you'll enjoy that classic pairing. The chips were warm and served with extra salt on the side, which you must use cause it was the tastiest chip salt I've ever had. They have 5 different salsas they provide and we all found one we liked. The staff was very kind as well. Cute spot and food that's so good you'll need a nap. We will def be back to pair this meal with our lazy Sunday again! read more

The food here is terrible. I ordered an appetizer shrimp ceviche was brought and charged for a full size which was flavorless and watered down. I also ordered the Alambre Asada and got such a greasy plate it was impossible to eat. The corn tortillas that came with the meal were steamed so much they were almost waterlogged and soggy. Sad because I really wanted to eat a good meal and paid $60.00 for terrible food. Did better off at the Taco truck I passed on the way home. read more

Hot damn. Finally a bomb taco place. It has been a struggle to find a restaurant in the area that has great music, flavorful food, tasty drinks and excellent customer service but Tacos El Patron knocked it out the park. The minute I took a bite of that Birria and Kumbia Kings started playing, I just knew I found my go to spot. Looking forward to our next trip & we haven't even left the restaurant. read more

Confession: I've had their food two other times and each time was delicious, but today I dined in and OMG!!!! It was delicious. The fish tacos are really good. The salsa is solid, and the birria tacos (no cheese) are so delicious and flavorful. The service is decent and on weekends they are much busier than during the week. We came on a Tuesday and pretty much had the place to ourselves. read more

This place is SO cute and the people were so nice! My husband literally eats egg and chorizo tacos at every Mexican restaurant we go to and this was the best we have EVER had. Honestly all of the tacos were some of the best we have ever had. We had the chorizo and egg, bacon egg and cheese, and the birria. All amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend this place. read more

Patronize tacos all over the state, and these are, hands down, the best tacos I've eaten. Exceptional, each Taco Especiales is a meal in itself. Lovely service, waitress explained all ingredients, and even gave us a free House Taco. Excellent horchata. A real find. Highly recommend. No more taco trucks for me. read more

Upon arrival we were greeted by the owners and they were very welcoming. We asked for recommendations since it was our first visit. We tried the Birria tacos and were extremely happy with these. We also tried the shrimp tacos and the taco de pescado. The fish taco was sincerely the best fish taco I have ever eaten! Our hosts also brought over 4 sauces and placed them in order of heat. The habanero sauce is no joke and was definitely the spiciest! We had their flan for dessert and were also very happy with the flavor. If you are looking for the best tacos ever, get over here! We can't wait to try the other dishes on the menu! Tacos el Patron will probably be a weekly must have! Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

"Tacos El Patron" is located at Cypress N Houston @ Eldridge. It's in the old "Cafe Bella" spot. I can't say enough great things about their food. YUMMY!!! Tacos are FULLY LOADED and the "top shelf" margarita on the rocks is STRONG & FLAVORFUL! If you haven't stopped by to try it out, please do! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! read more

Finally got to try this place after driving by and seeing it packed all the time. It was SO GOOD! My husband and I love a good Birria Taco and this place hit the spot. All the servers were very attentive and answered all our questions. It's a very small place which is fine we like those kind of places. But just be prepared if you come with a bigger party that there may or may not be seating. We will be back for sure!! Thank you for the great food read more

Tried this new spot last night. It is brightly lit and welcoming with artwork and international music. You order up front and your food is delivered to your table. I ordered the pastor tacos and the kind woman taking my order recommended birria so I said sure! My husband ordered pastor and beef fajita tacos. Plus, we were curious about their margaritas, so we ordered a couple of top shelf ritas. We enjoyed chips & salsa while we waited. The margaritas were surprisingly delicious! Wow. So fresh-tasting and yummy. The food was out-of-this-world authentic and delicious, too! This is no Tex-Mex restaurant. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, you will not be disappointed with this restaurant. We loved the margaritas so much we ordered more! And the tacos were so filling. We will definitely be going back. Note: it is a bit pricey, but worth it! read more

This place is absolutely goated. Hands down my new favorite Mexican spot in Houston. How did I just now find this place?! My husband and I found this gem on a foodie Instagram and oh my gosh! It did not disappoint. We got the birria torta, birria taco, al pastor taco and churros. Everything was straight fire but the birria torta was particularly bussin bussin. They even have 4 different types of salsa they give you for free! The service was also on pointtt, they were so friendly and attentive. Ugh I cannot say enough about this place fr you have to just check it out. read more

5$ a taco? Are they worth it? I went to Juan in a million in Austin , their fattest taco wasn't worth 9$
I think it is worth it. They give you a good amount of meat, and the food is very flavorful. You get chips and different salsas as well. The service is great- very attentive, engaged staff. This restaurant is getting five stars because it is that…
Do you serve breakfast?
Hi!!! No, we don’t. BUT if you really want it, we can make some breakfast tacos for you, we open 10-10 every day
