    This place is located in an old garage type building (perhaps an auto shop?) but has a large sign out front! I got the horchata, limon drink, lengua taco, and al pastor taco. The horchata was good but definitely not as creamy as I would like it, but also was not overly sweet which is a major plus in my opinion. The limon drink though... wow! It must be a staple for taco places, but this is the first time I've gotten it and I literally took one to go because it was so good. Perfect sweetness, so refreshing, and overall 100/100!! The coolest part of these tacos were the added cheese and avocados! I can't get this treatment in MN, so it definitely was a shock to me! I would say al pastor was standard, BUT the lengua ones were phenomenal. So so tender and so flavorful. I felt like it was stewed for days in their magnificent marinade and served to me on a beautifully warm tortilla. I should have gotten 5 more!!

    Incredibly good tortillas. The meats are really good too. A little rude. But great food.

    I always get a elote, and fajita tacos. SO GOOD. SO AFFORDABLE. Cash only. The wait isn't bad at all. They also have tables for you to eat there too if you want. Minus 1 star because last time I came here, the flour tortillas were a bit stiff, not soft. Food instagram: @adventureswithsoso

    I come here frequently and the tacos are always delicious!! I always get the beef tacos and they are the best! The prices are really cheap too! Definitely recommended.

    Tacos Los Gemelos is a great place to eat, even late at night. Only late as 12-1am. I remember when they started out as just a taco truck. They evolved into a garage over some number of years. I come here for the tacos. They're cheap and it goes well with a melon (cantaloupe) drink. I had the time to try their fajita, barbacoa, chicken, and pork. The quesadillas on chicken are good as well. The meats are a bit greasy here, but it will do for the price I pay. $1.50 tacos. One thing that stands out here are their spicy sauces they offer. I'm not sure what they're made out of, but they light your mouth and tongue on fire! The red sauce seems the most spiciest to me, but some of my friends say the green sauce is more spicy. You try it out and tell me which sauce tastes like lava to you. If you want to skip the line, you can order ahead by calling in. They also have a second location on 1960 near 249. They also sell bootlegged dvds so you can catch one of the latest movies or a classic for the night haha. Bring cash! They don't accept credit cards.

    Taco truck with really good, homemade, fresh tacos / burritos, etc. There's a couple different taco stands and trucks along Veterans Mem. in this area but this is the one in the parking lot by Family Dollar. There's a spacious covered area with bench tables, fans, and a TV, so it feels like an outdoor patio... one step up from just a food truck in an empty parking lot. They've like actually established this area as their own outdoor restaurant. And the tacos are so good! My favorite part about it is their tortilla that they use... tastes so FRESH and homemade handmade! Not like store-bought, 3 days old tortillas. I hate the taste of preservatives in breads and pastries. They must always be fresh!!! lol Oh yeah, I think they only speak spanish. Good chance to make use of the 4 years of high school Espanol that you made an A in but never used. Gracias, de nada!

    Bistek, lengua, and barbacoa! Elote on the side.

    Ohhhh ohhhh! Located about 17 minutes away IAH airport is this little taco gem. Had my bestie in town for a couple days and the last thing she wanted to get were some tacos before she got the plane. They had a variety of tacos from bistek, lengua, barbacoa and chicken! My friend and I enjoyed the tacos immensely! All of them were bomb. Tacos are about two bucks and you get some avocado and lots of meat. Which I think is a pretty decent deal! I think the Horchata was okay since I prefer it super milky vs with more watery with lots of cinnamon. The Elote was also delicious, if you like lots of corn, cream, cheese and spice.. this is def for you. I like the space a lot. The taco stand, tables and seats are located in a garage. Which makes a fun eating experience with friends. Will def return again

    I use to come here all the time for their crunchy tripas, greasy quesadillas and aguas frescas. But lately I feel like their tacos de tripas have been lacking. So this last time I went I bought un taco de chicharon; which was pretty good. I love their salsa verda. Aguas frescas- Watermelon & Cantaloupe water are my two favorite ( Sandia & Melon) They have a variety of other items on their menu such as Mexican burgers, elote and tortas. There is usually about a 15 minute wait to get food because they are always so busy. I like that they have bathrooms which is uncommon for a food truck. There is a t.v. which is usually playing a telenovela.

    I had to remove the black avocado from it ruining my bland tacos. What happened to this place. This was once a proud Latino food truck.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.
