Over priced, service was almost nonexistent, food was sloppy, and don't go to Arrandas across the street as its damn near the same and hli highly suggest keeping away from Fiesta, even worse. read more

This is one of the best dives in katy. Authentic mexican food, so if you're looking for tex-mex be prepared to branch out. The wait staff is all very friendly, and the prices cannot be beat. For example, my family of 5 ate there yesterday, $25 for all of us. The food flavor and quality is impeccable. If you haven't tried Bala yet, you must! Katy's best taco joint. read more

**WARNING**I would avoid this place. Check your food before leaving they cant be trusted at all. I have yet to get a call from a manager or anyone from this establishment. I called in again today and spoke with a young lady. I then asked to Speak to a MANAGER and a male came on the line. I told him what happened then he said there was no manager on duty. He then says the manager will be here Saturday morning. Its just weird how the last Saturday i went and got the food there was no manager there on Saturday morning and I was told they come in during the night shift. It seems like the manager never works. That must be the case if they can't simply read a ticket and tell a 1 from a 2. Honestly F¥€K this unprofessional place. It has terrible customer service and can't own up for the mistakes they make. The food was definitely bland and i definitely do not want another taco from here. It is not worth me to drive 30 mins for a taco when they should be able to refund one taco to me especially if I paid with a card. I came and ordered 3 breakfast tacos. 1 was potato and egg on flour and the other two were potato and egg on corn. They only gave me 1 flour taco and 1 corn taco. I call them politely to inform them that they did not give me my other taco and there response is we cant refund the taco you have to come pick it up or we can give you a credit for next time you come. I live in downtown Houston and i dont live in katy. I dont ever go to this restaurant to eat. I was only there because i needed to get car repairs in katy. I tell the woman over the phone and she says sorry we can't refund the order you have to come back. There was no way i was driving 30 mins back to get a taco I should've already got. She even said it was the cooks fault cause he didnt read the ticket right. Then she told me a manager would call me back and took my name and #. Its been a week already and still no call from the manager. I was there Oct 22 and paid with card I literally wanted my money back but I guess they want to be unprofessional and disrespectful and not call me. read more

I thought this was a cool concept with the trompo. The concept reminded me of shawarma-style meat, which I was sooo excited to try. The meat: dry dry dry. It was nothing like the cool, delciousness I thought it was going to taste like. The quality of the meat on the trompo was looow. I'm sorry, I like a fatty and sloppy taco every now and then but I wouldn't even want to eat this when I'm drunk at 4am. I can't say this enough, the ingredients were very low level. Such a cool concept. What a shame. read more

No se que cambio aqui pero desafortunadamente el negocio va hacia abajo. La comida y los precios siempre han sido aceptables pero el servicio esta pesimo. Ayer fuimos un grupo de 6 y toda la comida salio equivocada...toda! De hecho pedimos una order de sopes para llevar y llegamos a casa con tortas! Malisimo todo! Service has gone downhill lately. Too bad. It used to be good read more

The food was alright. .. nothing special. However, since fate brought us here to receive poor service, I thought I'd share. The waitresses forgot to take our order, or they couldn't be bothered. Food came quick, that was a plus. But when it came time to pay.... they didn't know how to use the card reader and had to wait for their boss to come in and try again. Now, we sit here... waiting to pay. But no one knows how to take our money. Oh well Maybe someone will show up eventually Then again. .. maybe not. read more

This place just sucks. I've been here 3 times & the food is below average. But worse than that the service here has sucked even more than the food every time & they weren't even all that busy any of the times I went. Surprisingly the last time I was there it took forever just to pay the check! You'd think they would want to collect their money quickly. They'll never get another red cent of my money though. read more

Tacos la balla is my shit. I bring people there because i can get a cheep ass taco that is delicious.

This place uses to be one of.my favorites because the food taste was close to mexican food,however, lately something has changed...the worst happen this passed weekend, I bough 2 tacos de nopalitos and 2 quesadillas, when I get home -5 minutes drive- the food was cold and when I start eating the nopalitos there were 3 LONG HAIR in the food!!!! That was disgusting!!!! I throw all the food in the trash can!! read more

Went here a year ago and have never been back. Communication is impossible, they ran out of eggs on a Sunday morning, service sucked, and the place is dirty. We waited for a very very long time just to get water, and we were there for an hour before we got our wrong order, so we jus walked out. I was pregnant and pissed! Obviously I hold a grudge. Don't screw with my food man! I gave one star because before this incident my husband had grabbed tacos to go from here and brought them home to me once. They were so good I was ready to make this my regular spot. That was until I experienced the all around incompetence that this establishment had to offer. It's been a year. I might try them again, as maybe they have made some changes in that time. Will definitely update if and when the time comes. read more

Sopes were my favorite at this location! Ive gone to so many other restaurants that don't serve this and im so happy these were close to home. I would recommend stopping here for tacos also, they are always fresh, the meat is good and the condiments go great with your food. Im from the valley and these are almost as good as the ones there. read more

The food was pretty good, however, I ordered flour tortillas and those tasted like they came from packets you buy from the store. I am a huge salsa lover and was really disappointed they didn't have any red salsa to try (they were currently making more). Also, like the rest of the comments stated the staff is friendly but slow. read more

Recommend coming here with someone knowing a little bit of Spanish. The barbacoa sopes was delicious. The meat was super moist and juicy and the toppings added on top made the dish look so beautiful. My boyfriend got 2 beef and 2 chicken tacos. He ask for no cilantro but I was expecting more than just meat on top of a tortilla. His meat for some reason was extremely dry. There was no way to save it. I tried squeezing lime on it but there was no coming back. However my boyfriend enjoyed it and that's all that matters I guess. He claims Mexican food is suppose to be dry. The pupusas was disappointing. Might come back for more barbacoa. read more

The service is ok. I order a red chilaques and they are nasty the meat cecina chewy I return the plate and they charge me for it anyways not honest business I don't recommend this restaurant to nobody. read more

The tacos here are great! It's real tacos, with fresh meat, cilantro and lime. I've only had the chicken and it tastes great. The prices are really cheap. I've also tried the sope, which is my favorite. Both the green and red sauce (in the bottles) are reallyyy spicy, but they burn so good. I usually drown my food in them because it's so good. read more

My first impression of Tacos La Bala was not a good one. I remember during night time my family and I went to the retardant for dinner. The servers and owners refused to open the doors for us and ignored us completely. It wasn't till way later that we were finally able to experience their food or service first hand. The establishment is OK, nothing stellar. Some cheap tables and chairs. They usually get busy around lunch time and customer service goes out the window. They only care about profit. Had some of their taco choices and meats which were really not bad but not great. Better than taco bell, not better than my grandma's home mexican cooking. They forget custom orders and drinks because they don't pay attention to detail, and their tables are usually dirty due to left overs from past customers who've eaten there. read more

My family and have not being to tacos la bala in a while.... today we decided to go because it has always being a good place. Honestly after today I will not be visiting this place again.. We order 3 gorditas, 1 quesadilla so the gorditas were soggy, no beans, and on top of that they used American cheese on the Gorditas and quesadilla????? Like wth... you guys are really going to put sandwiche cheese on my gordias and quesadilla... very disappointed and last but not least the green hot sauce was frozen and the red tasted spoiled... never again... my wife is white and if a white person thinks authentic Mexican food is bad then there's a real problem there... smh read more

This is our weekly to go spot on the weekends. They're food is very good for the price. I'm a frequent costumer and I have nothing to complaint about. They're tacos, burritos and sopes are great. read more

WTF? How can taco cabana have better tacos make no cense a burrito from 7/11 is way better than this crap....the fajita was not fajita the trompo was nasty but the chips and salsa was good read more

Tacos La Bala - I left the rest of the tacos im scared i get the runs no joke - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

So delicious! Tacos were Fresh, hot and filling. I highly recommend the corn tacos w/ fajita, shrimp, barbacoa and tripe. You cannot go wrong, this place is soooo under rated. Tacos are authentic. Service was friendly & attentive, food came out fast too! Officially my go to place. So glad i gave this place a chance! read more

Came here for the first tine for lunch with my husband and our kids. Never again. Tacos de Trompo is not what you expect! Nothing de pina and flavor. It is Dried! The fajita is dried and no flavor. There is no flavor to the food. Cokes were hot and the salsa was hot. Wasted 30.00 for nothing!! read more

Luckily the food is good enough to make up for their terrible service and extremely rude servers.

Tacos de trompo w green sauce and the cilantro/onion is where it is attttttt. Horchata helps cool your mouth when the green sauce hits! I love this place and make my friends take me here every time I'm in Katy. I got four different types of tacos and they didn't even bat an eye! All delicious! 10/10 I'll be here again and again. read more

This place is really great. Authentic Mexican food. So sad we're moving, always find the best right before a move.

This place is usually pretty busy, and it's for a good reason. I eat here about once a week because the food is fantastic and the price is spot on. It probably helps to know basic Spanish when you come but it's not required. This is the place to go if you want quality, authentic food. read more

Ordered a Cuban Torta and Fajita Taco. The Fajita taco was OK, but I'm not sure that was actually beef skirt steak. The Cuban Torta was inedible. There was an unidentifiable deep fried meat on the sandwich. This meat was completely dried out and hard. I tried to bite through it and was unable. There are far too many Mexican places to eat at in Houston, no need to suffer the bad ones. read more

Meh. Not good but not terrible either. We had the pupusa of chorizo and cheese and it was tasteless. We had the beef burrito and quesadilla which were ok. Will definitely not be coming back. read more

We go there pretty often. Have dined in and ordered to go. Great fajita tacos and yummy huge Burritos. Great prices too.

Took 40 minutes to receive 6 tacos dining in. The red salsa has no flavor and the green salsa is a lawsuit waiting to happen. It is so spicy and will make anyone sick (and I like spicy food). The chips were stale and tasted like they had been sitting out for a couple of days. Our waitress came by twice during our hour there and once was taking our order. I commented when checking out about the lengthy wait time and it didn't really seem to bother her. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The prices are reasonable and the food is amazing. This authentic Mexican food is the best ive had.

This place is not good at all. I have been there four times and each time has be a terrible experience. The food is gross and the cook was drop sweat on to the, while the waitress was picking nose. I went with my family and had to wait ten minutes before getting a menu, which I had to get myself. The waitress noticed me and decided to ignore me, so my family and I. DO NOT GO THERE, BAD FOOD, BAD SERVES, AND UNSANITARY FOOD!!!!!!!!! read more

I freaking love this place! Best tacos de trompo ever!!!

Service is good, tacos it's always a hit or miss they are amazing some days and some days just too greasy or not tasteful. Chips and salsa are great read more

The staff was really nice and the place was really clean but the food is just meh. I had the shredded pork tostada and the shredded beef tostada. The corn tostadas were stale and the meat had such little flavor I couldn't even tell the pork from the beef. The green sauce and the red sauce were not flavorful at all. So disappointed. read more

I asked for an ice water to go in this heat. Got luke warm tap water. Asked if the burritos are good the reply was we sell them. Got a burrito and a taco had to drink the warm tap water it was all so dry. read more

The first time I went here I had the huevos rancheros plate and it was amazing! Today I got 3 tacos: shrimp, beef fajita, and al pastor. The shrimp taco was amazing I give it 5 stars. The beef fajita tasted really good but the meat was kind of chewy so 4 stars for that. But unfortunately the al pastor taco didn't taste good at all, it tasted really weird and the meat was kind of blah so 1 star for that. But the other tacos were delicious so it made up for it. I'll be coming back again especially for the shrimp tacos!!! read more

Great tacos, some of the best I've had in Houston. The food is fresh and made to order! The prices are about as good as the food. I have a new favorite place to eat tacos! Minus one star for the interior and service. read more

Been here a few times and the food is great, affordable, & authentic. The service is awesome! No one will be disappointed!

We came in and waited like 15 minutes waiting for someone to take the order. Then, no apologies for the slow service.

I honestly don't understand why these guys don't have more stars... This place is pretty solid. The Cochinita Pibil is delicious! The service was good, but I can tell they're definitely short handed. I'd still come back. read more
