Food was great. The smoky flavor of the trompo is top tier! We also ordered bistek quesadilla and it was really cheesy and delicious. There was a line but it moved really fast. We ate in the seating area and they had some salsa which was good. read more

This is a review for the trompo tacos only. I need to go back and try their other items. The trompo here looked great, so I had to try. I'm from Katy; this east part of Houston is very new to me. I don't know where to go for food here, but I for sure now know where to go for Trompo Tacos! The trompo here was bomb! I was in the city for a wine fest and needed tacos to tame my hunger from all the wine sipping. Tacos Las Sultana popped up, and the pictures of the trompo looked insane. After going, I can confirm the trompo looked even better than the pictures. Shout out to the chef cutting up fresh trompo I ordered some tacos de trompo to go, with avocado. The order of tacos came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. I have never had roasted potatoes with my tacos; they were tasty and very buttery. Dude, the way they packaged their tacos... never have I seen tacos from a taco truck packaged so nicely. They wrap everything and even package their salsa. Very clean, very organized This place is over an hour away from me. After eating here I will gladly make the hour drive for this bomb trompo They have a parking lot and street parking available. They have limited seating available inside. They take cash and Venmo payment read more

I went to Tacos La Sultana on a late Tuesday night around 10 pm after eyeing this place for months. It's one of Houston's more talked-about East End taco spots, known for Monterrey-style tacos and especially their trompo. Trompo is pork cooked on a vertical spinning rotisserie, similar in technique to shawarma, and this place is known for serving it with pineapple. That's really what drew me in. Tacos La Sultana is a food truck, but if you want to dine there, seating is available inside the front of The East End Bar next door, which has a casual dive bar vibe. It's very laid back and informal. [TACOS] +Trompo Tacos for $2.25 each - I ordered two on corn tortillas. They came topped with large chunks of pineapple and flat slices of pork shaved from the trompo. The flavor was solid and the pineapple added a nice sweetness, but I was hoping the pineapple would be spinning on top of the trompo and shaved thinly into the taco rather than added in thicker pieces. The tortillas were very oily, which made these extremely messy and hard to eat cleanly. Good overall, but not amazing. - 3.5/5 In addition to the tacos, they also provided a second plate with caramelized onions, lime, a baked potato, and a plastic bag filled with extra onions and cilantro. There were two different salsas in squeeze bottles on the tables as well. Overall, Tacos La Sultana is worth trying if you're in the East End and curious about Monterrey-style trompo tacos. The price is great and the flavors are good, but for me it wasn't worth a 20-minute drive across town. I'd stop by again if I were in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

I'm from the RGV, and these are the tacos that remind me of home! Yes, it's a food truck, but there is covered patio seating for plenty. Cash only or Zelle. Sometimes it can get crowded, so make sure to know what you want when you walk up to the cashier and listen closely for them to call your number. Salsas and paper towels were scattered around the dining room. Many families and couples enjoy this place, and will occasionally feed the neighborhood cat who walks around. Love that you can recycle your glass bottle of Mexican Coke by placing it in the return bin. Try the tacos for sure and definitely the potato! read more

Realized I lost my photos before I could post them. Where oh where to start. The tacos pastor were perfect. The menudo rave ratings from my hubby. Sorry not that daring. Basically we tried a couple types of meat which all were great. They had a great selection of Hispanic sodas. Along with fairly quick service. The feel of the place is hole in the wall. Don't expect something fancy. You are going here for taste and it's worth it. Next time I want the burger. read more

Congratulations - you've found some of the best tacos in Houston! This hidden treasure is known for its trompo tacos, and they did not disappoint. While the tacos were a little too greasy, the meat was just perfect. The staff is very friendly, and I loved that they had some tables to sit at + give you potatoes and onions as a side. I got the grilled pineapple as a side to put on the tacos and highly recommend. read more

Top 3 Trompo in the H easily and they're open late even on normal week days (11:30pm). Service is pretty good for a taco truck, they have a seating area that's heated and one of the ladies brought my food to my car for me in the midst of our mini winter. Trompo 5/5 Bistec 3.8/5 read more

Tacos La Sultana - Tacos trompo & tacos de bistec - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

Never am I in this area but I've heard that there is good food spots around. This joint right here was GREAT. Pulled in around noon, no one was there besides myself. Surprisingly, I expected it to be busy. Sat instantly, enough seating area. Started with their complementary chips and salsas. I ordered their 5 tacos with cheese and avocado. The meats were bistec and trompo with a side of horchata. The 5 tacos come with papas and grilled onions. The trompo had a smokey flavor to it which I enjoyed a lot. They're not STINGY with how much meat they stuff the tacos. Unfortunately I didn't get to try the bistec for the same reason. Easily full with 4. I wanted to try their frijoles charros but they had just ran out. Our waitress was super sweet and friendly. Not complaints whatsoever. Definitely will return when I am in the area. read more

The tacos are amazing and definitely the best in Houston, Texas. As soon as you place your order, they come out quickly and hot. I love the atmosphere, which feels like you're back in Mexico. The waiters are always asking if you need extra condiments and are attentive to their customers. read more

I had by far the best street tacos I've tried in Houston so far at Tacos La Sultana in east Houston. They are a food truck with a small indoor seating area the parking is pretty cramped but you can also just park on the street. This place was busyyyyy, so much people were coming and going for their orders. They only take cash and Venmo ($1 up charge for Venmo). I decided to get 4 tacos de trompo ($2.25 each). It comes LOADED with meat. They give like double the amount that the average taco spot gives you for each taco. I also got some squatted onions, lime, and cilantro and onions to top off my tacos. They gave me a green sauce packet as well. The tacos were piping hot. The meat was so tender and fatty. The onions provide great contrast in texture and the green sauce wasn't that spicy but delicious. I later found an empty table and was able to use their bottled green and red sauce. These sauces were sooo much more spicier than the one they gave me in the green packet. Every taco was so good and it really filled me up since they were loaded. I will definitely be back read more

Great tacos and really nice employees. Spacious area to that gave plenty of room to spread out and enjoy a meal and conversation.

Ordered there plenty of times, ate there many times, sat down, ate in my car, order to go many times... They made my party get up from a table as I was ordering food, another party took our table, I lost my spot in line when I went back to talk to the server that was telling my party took our table get up, had to get back in line and made the decision to leave. They don't have a sign up either that says "please order first, then find seating" Fix the number as well, the number they have does not work. read more

From now on, these are my favorite tacos in the Houston area. Yes, they are on the sketchy side of town, but who cares? The pastor is on point. It tastes what a pastor should taste--not all that neon orange crappy meat from other places that dare to call it pastor, not here folks, just like if I were in Mexico City. It's worth the drive into the dark side of town, lol. Highly recommend it. The asada is not the main attraction; you can pay with cash or Zelle. read more

Broooo the pastor here is insane. Spot is legit. Such a hidden gem. I'm so happy I decided to come here. The trompo taco is the way to go. For $2.25 each it's such a steal. It's small but loaded with meat. The green spicy sauce was crazy spicy in the best way. I'm a very spicy eater so this is not for the weak. Decent amount of outdoor seating. Cash or Zelle only. read more

We specifically came for the trompo tacos and although it was cooked nicely (crispy edges without it being too dry), it was flavorless. I could not taste a hint of salt or any kind of seasoning at all. The saving grace was the spicy salsa verde and lime! Husband said the same thing about the Trompo and mentioned the bistec was better. For the record, I really really wanted to like this place. Note: cash or zelle only read more

The best tacos de trompo I have ever had in Houston. The wait is worth it! And the vibe is great.

the trompo tacos were amazinggg and the bistec as well. served hot and wrapped so well. service is also sweet.

Drove from 45 minutes away and was lookjng forward to it since i was told by many people this place had really good trompo and the reviews were great. After a long drive and starving i get there for them to tell me there arent serving trompo. And the only other meat they have is bistek. Maneje desde bien lejos a este lugar que decian muchos que tenian el mejor trompo solo para llegar con mucha hambre y que me digan que no tienen trompo. Y a eso fui, y la unica otra opción que tienen de carne es bistek. read more

Little food cart in front of east end brew, had a bunch of friends tell me about this place non stop so I have dot check it out. They have the best trompo, they have it on the stand up spit right there and carve it right off. Also order the charro beans especial, every flavor on anything you get is absolutely amazing especially the salsa verde for once my friends hyped up recommendations held up and maybe ever surpassed my expectations. Only thing is their hours are from like 7pm-midnight almost every day and closed Monday so it's a late night taco spot. Usually a 15-20min wait as lots of people come here but hop inside east end brew and grab a beer while you wait they have cheap prices read more
