    Tacos
    Emma D.

    This place has been on my list for the longest time and finally had the opportunity to try it yesterday! A big group of us came after a soccer tournament on a Saturday. I opted for tacos, I got a variety- chorizo & asada. They come with onions, cilantro, and guacamole on it. They have a variety of sauces which I use the green sauce. was very flavorful and not super spicy. The flavors of the tacos were soooo good & the toppings are fresh. I also tried some elote which was definitely one of my favorite elotes I've had in a while. Me and my friend tried a michelada with modelo. It wasn't my favorite michelada but it was refreshing at least. Overall very much enjoyed my experience here. The food didn't take long to come out and they bring it out to you on the patio.

    I've passed this place countless times and assumed it was mediocre Mexican food since it is in a prime location. A coworker recommended it, so we decided to give it a shot and were very impressed. At 5 pm on a Saturday, the line was extensive, and the wait for food after ordering is 15-20 minutes. When we stepped inside, we were immediately reminded of Tacos Numero 1 in NYC--come to find out, the owner of Tacos Frontera is brothers with the owner in NYC! Very good news, indeed. I tried a mulita with asada, which was kind of like a corn tortilla sandwich. The cheese was melty and caramelized, the beef had a delicious smokiness, and the portion was substantial. My boyfriend tried the torta with chicken and couldn't even finish it. He loved it! We also ordered a nopal taco (thinking the mulita wouldn't be enough for)--it was good, but definitely not the best item. The Jamaica was fresh and perfectly sweetened. Tell your loved ones to come here--they won't be disappointed!

    Very goods, approve such delights. Have the torta de asada, meat was perfect, telera perfectly toasted, michelada was the cherry on the top.

    I have written before about this thing that I called the Houston Culinary Honeymoon. Where a new restaurant opens and the line is around the corner for the first few months and then suddenly it is empty. This place doesn't need to worry about that. It is great. I had been hearing about this place for several months now and that the crowds to eat here were crazy. With the opening of their second location right along. Katy Freeway, I knew it was time to get it a try. I got here right when they opened. Such an impressive menu with so many choices. I opted for guacamole, esquites and a Vampiro. ALL DELICIOUS. This is the real deal. I immediately thought of a favorite place in Mexico City called Maizajo. Normally, I would complain about loud music in a place but today, with the conjuntos blasting away at full volume, it put a big smile on my face, and in a few minutes, I was no longer in Houston, but somewhere along the border. And all of these wonderful memories of trips to. Nuevo Laredo in my college years started coming back. They have a big crew in the kitchen and based on my experience today, they're turning out really good things, and I am already looking forward to my next visit here, along with visiting their original location on Highway 6.

    Went ~2pm on a Saturday and it was absolutely packed. No space inside, but the weather was nice and there was seating outside. They were super quick and efficient, but most importantly, the tacos were delicious. Easily some of the best and most authentic Tijuana style tacos you'll find. Already looking forward to the next time I go. 2 Asada Tacos - $7.80 2 Pollo Tacos - $7.80 Guacamole w/ Chips - $4.95 Mexican Bottle Soda - $3.90 Quesabirria w/ Consome (4 tacos) - $13.95

    Burrito

    The food here is fantastic! You can tell the tortillas are made from scratch--it completely elevates the flavor of the tacos. The meat is perfectly seasoned, and the fresh avocado is the perfect finishing touch. I also highly recommend the burrito; it's delicious, massive, and they definitely don't skimp on the fillings. Even with a line to order, the service was efficient and moved quickly, and the staff was very friendly. We also appreciated the variety of great hot sauces. Since we live quite a distance away, we made sure to grab a few extra items to go so we could enjoy them later. This place is definitely worth the trip!

    The Mexican scene in that Katy area and growing steadily over last few years, and places like Tacos Frontera gave the scene a jolt by showcasing frontera cuisine, which shockingly hasn't found much of a presence in a Mexican heavy place like Houston. As a result, Tacos Frontera has become a bonafide destination and met with no shortage of hype. And the craziest part? It's probably deserving of it. The weekend (Sunday) ambiance is absolutely fire. It's hard not to be charmed by the energetic ambiance, the smiling staff, families left and right enjoying their meals, and the blasting of norteño music left and right. The chaos is a reflection of their popularity and the vibe is downright contagious. I love that they randomly provide free chicharron out to folks, whether they're waiting for takeout or guests who are already sitting. It reminds me I will let barbecue joints would give out beer the people waiting in line. Absolutely brilliant. The prices are most definitely on the higher end. Tacos are in the 3-4 range and the markup for other items is across the board. Bring cash because there is a $3 surcharge for credit cards. For me, it all starts with their adobada. The earthy, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors are excellent. A lot of people may confuse it with anothér marinated meat in al pastor, but while visually similar, the preparation methods are different. Currently they are one of the only places to offer it. The taco smell is wonderful. The aromas is what I expect in a proper taqueria.

    I recommend this taco spot to anyone traveling to or through Katy. The tacos are sooo good !! & The service was so quick & the staff was also so friendly. Tacos frontera are authentic Mexican tacos & they have so much to chose from. We got the asada tacos but will go back to try more.

    Looks pretty but taste no bueno

    Instagram fail. No bueno location. No bueno atmosphere. No bueno to food. Not alot of seating. Hilarious to me that I've lived in Houston this long and have found only one tasty taco restaurant and it's not this place. And that yet every taco restaurant in nj I tried, I loved. Sad news Houston!

    If you're craving delicious tacos, Tacos Frontera is definitely the spot! I've been here twice now, and it has not disappointed either time. I absolutely love the vibe -- it truly feels like you've stepped into Mexico. The atmosphere, the flavors, everything just hits right. I ordered a little bit of almost everything, and every single bite was delicious. If you're looking for authentic flavors and great energy, I definitely recommend this place. I'll for sure be back again!

    Went here a month or so ago on a Friday night? I kinda forgot what day it was. Pretty tasty tacos! Got a couple of beefs and chicken! Line is packed as hell. But they have great logistics to keep the line moving and getting people their food! The meats well marinated. I usually never get corn tortillas but I got it here. They did not taste very corny. Usually corn tortillas smell weird but here. Delicous! We will be back!

    I've been in Houston for almost a year and these are the best tacos I've had. Everything was so flavorful. The service was great and they played great music. I felt like I was in MX. Love this place!

    Kim M.

    Some of the freshest tastiest tacos you can get. Authentic and delicious! I ordered the chicken taco which comes in a soft and smoky fresh made corn tortilla. The taco is filled with juicy chicken thigh meat smothered with creamy guac, onions cilantro and served with radish slices, cucumber and lime on the side. Hit the spot after a couple hours playing pickleball. Yum yum yum, delicioso! The staff is friendly- order at the counter, take a seat and they bring out the order when it's ready.

But this taco stand is authentic as they come of course every city in Mexico makes there tacos different. Toluca stand is by far the best we've had here in Katy affordable delicious full of flavors the simplicity of the tacos makes them so more delicious and enjoyable. With this being said let's start. 1. Fajita tacos are simple but cooked to perfection 2. Campechano is a whole other beast ! Campechano: Toss sliced beef fajitas right into the pan with crumbling Toluca chorizo. The rich paprika, garlic, and herbal oils from the sausage melt down and coat the fajita meat, eliminating any need for boring pre-made seasoning packs. Amazing! You can have this option in tacos or their burritos... 3. Barbacoa is sooo moist tender not dry season perfectly 3. Hamburger layered of explosion of flavors your kids will love it big portion. This place has lunch tables under a small gazebo it's a good place to have a quick dinner or lunch with aguas frescas horchata Jamaica tamarindo agua de melon (cantaloupe) super refreshing. It's a very family welcoming taco stand. You order first at the first window pay at the second window and order your beverages with the cashier.

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!

Unfortunately, my experience yesterday was so unacceptable that I will never return. When placing my order, the employee taking my order appeared intoxicated. His eyes were drooping and closing, he repeatedly paused, mumbled, and seemed to struggle entering my order. Although this was concerning, I chose to overlook it and waited patiently. After about 10 minutes, I simply returned to ask whether my order had been placed and if it was ready. I was not upset, in a hurry, or complaining. I only wanted confirmation that my order existed because the employee kept responding, "No orders, no orders," despite me showing him my receipt. Due to an apparent language barrier, I called my Hispanic husband and handed the employee my phone so he could ask the same simple question in Spanish. Instead of helping, the employee began yelling at my husband. Another employee joined in, and both started yelling while walking away with my phone. When the phone was returned, I still had no idea what had happened or whether my order was being prepared. The situation escalated for no reason. The employees began yelling at me, aggressively slammed the service windows shut, ignored me, and treated me as if I had done something wrong. I remained calm throughout the entire interaction and repeatedly stated that there was no problem--I simply wanted to know if my order had been placed. Eventually, the food was thrown together carelessly, shoved into a bag, and handed to me with obvious hostility. The food quality was terrible, and the customer service was even worse. What disappointed me most was that this entire situation was completely unnecessary. I was respectful, patient, and simply asking a basic question. The combination of an employee who appeared intoxicated, the aggressive and unprofessional behavior from both employees, and the poor quality of the food made this one of the worst customer service experiences I have had. I cannot recommend this location and will not be returning.
