    This is a place I would come again. Recommend it, specially if you are like me, familiar with northen Mexican tacos. I lived in Monterrey and they definitely hit the spot! We ordered TRIPA, bistec, trompo and Tlaquepaque... ALL delicious! I was mad I couldn't eat much more lol The tortillas were slightly oiled and crisped, the pastor was tender, juicy and full of flavor. Now, the tripas were INCREDIBLE!! Soooo well cooked and crisped up to a crunch level where it was impossible to stop eating. Service was FAST and pretty good. Ambiance was very chill , music, and the aguas frescas were SPOT ON! It is a 45 min drive from home but we are DEFINITELY coming back!!

    Absolutely love this authentic Mexican restaurant spot in SE Houston. Living closer to Friendwood I frequent the usual TexMex spots so it's nice to find an authentic taqueria not to far from me on I45 close to Hobby airport. This fast/casual restaurant is in a small unassuming plaza right off the highway and is open late. Their standard tacos,burritos, gringas, are all excellent with usual meat choices however my recommendation are their taco piratas which is in a fried flour tortilla with cheese and meat. Their spicy salsa and salsa Verde are also excellent. The side of potatoes is interesting and works well with the meal. Really worth a visit for a quick dinner or late night meal.

    And we're back with another good review! I'm going to say this is one of my Southside favorites! This place has so many good options to choose from, so it works out if you have a picky friend in your group! And they close at 3AM! So if you're out late and want some good food check out Tacos Tec on the Southside, I heard they were making one on 290!

    GREAT (new to us) taqueria up 45 between South College and Park Place, Taco Tec! If you haven't been, hit that road. Really good. Can you say, FRESH everything?!?' If you get to Maria's Ritas on the feeder, you just passed it.

    Could be better The al pastor tacos were a little too greasy for my taste. The flavors were good but the tortilla got soggy. Fast service though

    Steak Tacos, Tacos Bisteak

    The food was awesome I had not one thing that wasn't delicious. The building was clean and put together. The staff are great and took great care of us. We went to a lot of taco spots in town this was by far the best! We came back a few times while we were in town.

    Late Sunday night; most places had already closed but Tacos Tec was lit up to see from the street. I ordered a Taco plate with grilled onions and no cilantro with a Pina aqua. Was going to grab and go but decided to eat here. After getting your order taken at the counter, you wait to hear your name; dine in or take out. For dine in, they bring the food to your table. I wasn't expecting a potato on my plate but it was, just needed a little seasoning. Everything was great from the tacos to the drink; even the potato. It was kinda crowded, lots of families with their kids. I would definitely go back. Adding to my bookmarks!

    This place was recommended to me by a good friend from Mexico. It has a family owned feel, very welcoming and warm. The food and service is top notch. These are hands down the best tacos in all of Texas. Love their variety of salsas. And taco options. This is a must try!

    So much food, we'll have to tec our time eating it

Inside it is a one room eatery with counter service. My first visit was to try the Birria Burrito for $16 with the meal delivered about 10 minutes later. It consisted of their Birria meat cooked for 4 hours mixed with chorizo, cheese, rice, beans and sour cream all wrapped in a large flour tortilla seasoned with their special red colored seasoning. With the meal came a cup of consomne'. Guy Fieri would say, Welcome to Flavortown! It was delicious. The Birria beef was so tender and the flavored flour tortilla with that proprietary red seasoning they use was perfect. It was a very filling meal and well worth the price. So much so, I thought about it the next day. Another visit was to try one of their specialities, the Quesabirria for $14. This meal consisted of 3 grilled and crispy corn tortillas seasoned again with their special red colored magic dust. The tortillas had the delicious Birria meat and cheese inside and I again loved them. The tortillas are only slightly crispy and the meat, cheese and tortillas memorable. This meal also came with a cup of consommé for dipping. Another nice thing about eating here is the customer service. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. The guy bussing the tables acted more like the owner than an employee with his helpfulness and the actual manager came out to check on us. Impressive for a counter service restaurant. Tacos Dona Lena deserves its reputation as one of the best restaurants of its kind. Incredible food and employees all at very reasonable prices. When I think of tacos and burritos, this place is what comes to mind!

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!

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

One of my friends took me here and we all got to try a lot of stuff. We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.
