Came on Saturday and had the chicken pozole because it was a cold day and it sounded just about right. And to my surprise it was very well done!! Good portion!! read more

It's been high 70s and humid as balls all week, but the rain clouds came in and the temp is suddenly in the 50s. Soup weather's my favorite, and that calls for pozole. This place had been on my radar specifically for pozole, even though my favorite kind is the Puebla style (green base, not red) and the ones in pictures from here were red. I gave them a ring. When someone picked up and answered, "Bueno," my inner Barney in Spanish class said, Challenge accepted. (I wish I knew how to say that in Spanish, but then, it wouldn't be a challenge.) I'm glad to report I successfully ordered four tacos on flour tortillas and a quart of pozole because those were what I found in my bag once I got home. What's particularly impressive is the spread of condiments I got (see picture). I think she gave me a whole lime, and as a lime lover for all foods Latina, I extra-appreciate that. And the pozole was stuffed with chicken and hominy! The soup base was yummy and, with two mini-tubs of the extra picante hot sauce and four squeezes of lime, it was exactly what I wanted on a wet, cold night. The tacos ($2 each) also were delicious. I got two barbacoa and two beef, and both were flavorful, with just enough pan grease (in the best way). I would even say it was on the saltier side so I don't know what some reviewers are saying when they say the food here's bland, unless they are the type to add on salt by the scoop. Definitely a spot to revisit for authentic tacos and delicious pozole! read more

Tacos La Carreta Asaderos - the front of the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

So, 2020 has not been great, we can all agree on that....correct? Well, my trusty SUV of 14 years decided to retire last month. I bought a 2017 Jetta which I'm loving to drive, and for extra money to get it paid off faster, I've been driving for Lyft. Yes, I know...I'll get to my point really quick on here. I was in the area dropping off my latest customer which happened to be of the 'latin' persuasion and I asked them where they went to eat good food. They told me of this nice establishment, so I shutdown for an hour and stopped by to see if they were truly correct on their assessment. I was in the mood for 'street tacos' and a mexican Coca-Cola, so went with that for an early dinner, and boy was I not disappointed. I sat down and waited for the waitress to bring the food which I figured would just be on a plate, you know, set up like usual with some sauteed onions and cilantro. NOPE!! This lady brought me a steaming hot-plate like they do when you order fajitas for two from one of the fancy restaurants in town. Boy, were these tacos delicious and the fact that they all stayed hot throughout my meal?? that was the icing on the cake and why I'm giving these guys a straight-5 stars from the get!! read more

Food was okay, but nothing special. The salsa in the bowl they serve with the chips is watery and pretty much just tastes like onion. I got the tacos de asada and they were alright. They serve you free charro beans when they bring your food which was a pleasant surprise. The queso fundido was good. Overall my husband and I weren't super impressed with the food, but it did fill us up. I probably wouldn't come back here again though. read more

I returned to La Carreta and this time, the customer service was much better. I got chips and salsa in a timely fashion. The chicken tacos on a corn tortilla with cilantro and onions are really good. The borracho beans are good too. read more

Soooo I came in for some menudo and mini tacos since the reviews said they were good/amazing. They were trash. Both had no flavor the taco street truck on the corner has def gotten them beat with their mini tacos. Menudo, I wouldn't even bother. It was like water. read more

Delicious food and a very welcoming place. Breakfast and lunch/dinner are both excellent. I love their salsas! Skip the chain Tex/Mex and come here instead. read more

Damn good tacos. The salsa is delish ... but seriously . I had an asada a pollo and a carnitas. All were great. Chips and salsa really really good too. And they had cans of coke cherry zero - haha. read more

I'm gonna have to give them three stars due to the fact that the salsas were weak and didn't taste fresh, as well as the fajita meat being under seasoned. These are not terrible tacos but they're nowhere near the best I've had. The price was fair but you're better off going somewhere else for better flavor. read more

Saw good reviews on Yelp, so we came to see what the rave was about. Riiiiiiigggghhhhhttttt....... The tall waitress is so dry and unfriendly and presents as if she's bothered by us, but is very social to other patrons. She spent most of her time playing with these 2 young boys, who also kept going behind the counter to get cans of soda. I wish we would've gotten the smiley faced friendly older lady that welcomed us when we first walked in. The food was totally not what the reviews stated. You can tell the meat was microwaved. The beef, barbacoa, and pastor were a bit dry. The chips were cold, and the salsas were all watery. We eat a lot of Mexican food, authentic Mexican food, and this was like school lunch at an under funded campus. The older lady was so sweet and talkative. The only time i saw the tall lady smile was when i was talking to the older lady and told her i saw them on Yelp. I didn't leave a tip bcz of poor service. Even if the food isn't too good, service means a lot to me bcz it can totally balance things out. read more

Excellent menu, excellent service. No tex mex cheese enchiladas here, just real Mexican food for real working people, who want quality, quantity, value and flavor with their food. My spouse had the Pozole Caldo and he loved it. So much chicken! I had the Piratas, recommended by our very sweet waitress, and they were both huge and delicious. Can't wait to return again and again. read more

Their sopes taste just like my grandmas! And their red sauce is super spicy but so good.

This is now maybe my favorite Mexican restaurant in Houston!! Everything tasted authentic and was a very reasonable price. It was very clean and so was their bathroom.

So I just left. The place is quaint. I attempted to order in spanish succesfully. Winning... 1 asado on harina and 2 pollo on harina with onion and cilantro. The price was less than 6 bucks. I ordered on flour because the pics of the corn tortillas didnt look homemade. The tacos are good. But the salsa is what makes this place awesome. The red and the brownish red were both super caliente. I love heat. I will be back. read more

So I'm working a club one night. I've been at it too long, so someone calling me by name for a picture isn't a big deal. There it was, "Sergio." I respond. Then the sweet lady says, "You wrote a bad review of my place." Weird no? So I say, "It wasn't bad, I think I just caught you on a bad night." Next day--guess where I was? I'm going to stick to my guns. Still not the best tacos in town, but definitely good and better than my initial encounter with Asaderos. The dryness of the al pastor was not an issue this round. The Gringa is still a knockout and the best way to savor the al pastor meat best. The chicharron still makes me drool just thinking about it. I'm glad we're still friends Carreta ;) read more

Awesome spot to get yummy tacos late @ night the staff is always super friendly!! The Taquiza plate was super delicious

Tried this place for the first time the other day when I was going to Al Aseel, but they were closed for a private event so I stopped to look at the menu for this place! So glad I did, extremely fresh high quality food and at a great price! Tried 4 different salsas and enjoyed them all, had the Parrilla with beef and chicken as well as the flautas and loved it all! read more

Friendly service from Leni she was so sweet. Ordered a breakfast taco & a beef and chicken taco. The food was great, it tasted homemade, will definitely be back. Keep up the good customer service! read more

Late night stop: 1am Was hungry after a stop over at Downing Street Pub, and my friend wanted tacos. It was on my home, so we went. Get there, and there is only 3 people there. It's late, so I'm not surprised. Clean and colorful atmosphere, quick and friend service. The menu has the setup where there are dishes and then what your options for meats underneath and quantity, kind of a grid style which makes things a lot easier. Colorful pictures on the menu matches the decor. My friends ordered tacos: churrizo, chicken, barbacoa, and I believe 1 other, but I wasn't paying attention. I decided to buy my brother and sister some stuff and bring it home, so I ordered the queso dip on the back of the menu, a churrizo sope, chicharron quesedilla, and a barbacoa torta. My queso dip reminded me of this same dish I ordered in a taco shop in Cancun, so very good. The churrizo that was in it was pretty good, but the white cheese on it made it. It came out piping hot and an aluminum foil wrap of corn tortillas (5 I remember). The rest of my order was to-go, so when I went to pay my bill, everything was already packed up and ready to go for me. I was told the torta was good, I had the chicharron quesedilla after I microwaved it out of emergency (though tasty, would have been better crispier if I had used the toaster oven or something). I did not eat the sope, but it looked great with it's little puffy bread and sprinkled white cheese. Good service, clean, friendly and open till 2am on the weekend. Oh, forgot to mention, table service came with free chips and salsa which were really fresh tasting though the salsas were average. I'm a fan, and I look forward to trying out a lot of different combinations. read more

The food is excellent but the service is a little slow, albeit friendly service. The gorditas are delicious! The tacos are yummy! Horchata is pretty tasty too. read more

In Houston on biz for the last 2 weeks and was craving some street tacos. Have been disappointed with the tex mex nonsense over the years and was skeptical that Id find some legit mexican food in H town. Wow, this place is the real deal. Tacos al pastor and carne asada were spot on. The caldo de res and salsas were great. This will be my go to spot in H town to satisfy my taco cravings! read more

I will definitely return to this place; however! They weren't the BEST tacos I've ever had. If going, I highly recommend the Al Pastor or chicken tacos. They were the best, especially the pastor. Not a fan of their queso, unfortunately. Very nice and attentive staff. Ask for the spicy red salsa. I'll be back for those pastor tacos! read more

Delish tacos!! Love the appetizer chips and salsa too! Best of all is the great price for the tasty tacos you get!

Good tacos. Good food. They have been reading the prices slowly, not very happy about it. They have upgraded tables and chair ( dining area) looks better. Tacos gringas are pretty good!!! read more
