    After I crushed!!!
    Nat M.

    I came here because yelp reviews says it was good. So look... when it comes to ambiance, it's a food truck on the side of the road. Do not expect something fancy. There is a place to park and a window to walk up to. Now we got that out the way.... I ordered 5 mini tacos with steak. They were so good I didn't need any extra seasoning or hot sauce. Just a squeeze of the lime juice on top and it was perfect. I was also able to eat all 5. Left nothing behind!!! Service was what it needed to be. A guy at the window taking your order and bringing you your food when it was ready. I personally couldn't ask for a better taco.

    It's a hit or a miss with food trucks but this one was actually good! We got tacos and a quesadilla and the meat was flavorful. Nice portion and the price is right! We def will come back

    Asada Taco in the back, Asada Tostada in the front!

    Looking for something nearby to eat and though it a ways down on hwy 6 to get to, I am glad I got to try it. All the orders were correct, though they short me on sauces when we order 9 times we only got 4-5 sauces. Next time we just check the bag! Asada Taco - (4/5) Tad bit dry but it was good flavor though. Barbocoa Taco - (5/5) Moist and had good flavor Tripas Taco - (5/5) it was said that the best ones are crunchy and this one was it! Surprisingly very good for the first time trying something like this. Chorizo and Egg Taco - (3/5) Flavorless and dry to me. I shall try papas next time instead. Tostada Asada - (4/5) I love tostadas and like I said the meat was okay, I'll still be willing to try again. Sauces are super spicy so be careful, could use a little salt but you can always add that yourself. I can't wait to come back and try other things!

    The taco truck is hands down the best in the area, offering a truly authentic and delicious taco experience. I ordered their mini tacos with al pastor and tripa and was blown away by how perfectly seasoned the meat was. Each bite was bursting with flavor and texture paired with their green/red salsa. I'm definitely coming back soon.

    Quesadilla + Tacos
    Tracy D.

    Easy to find, good amount of parking. Pretty much a pick up and go but they do have small seating area with cover. Nice staff and pricing is good. Quesadilla (4/5) Fajitas taco (4/5) Pastor (4/5) Carnitas (3/5) Delicious tacos however, I wish they had that creamy sauce! Overall, a good solid tacos place and I would come back.

    I've had their barbacoa, fajita, and pastor. The barbacoa was not as fatty but it was very flavorful. I think the pastor was my absolutely favorite. Packed full of flavor. Not too salt. Fajita was super good too. I would recommend getting flour because the corn tortillas are small of course. Don't forget the cilantro and onion w limon ! Their green salsa packs a punch for sure but something to get those sinuses running !

    Tostadas
    Esther R.

    Quick stop to fix our mexican food cravings. Seems authentic to us . Tostadas are good and so are the tacos. Everything is a la carte unless you specify you want a plate which will include rice and beans . We always call ahead t and never have had an issue with our order. This is an ONLY CASH place.

    Tacos de Pollo
    Ashley R.

    Great tacos, fast service. Price is normal, around 2.50 a piece & great salsa verde!

    One Barbacoa and one Carnitas taco with onion and cilantro. Green and red salsa on the side.
    Betty J.

    One Barbacoa and one Carnitas taco. When I say this the best barbacoa and Carnitas taco I had in years! These are the flavors I have been looking for! I did go to the taco truck late so they were out of pastor but I'm looking forward to trying it. I did have the chicken taco and to me it tasted ok. I don't like they don't accept cash and they need to update their menu. The green salsa is very spicy and the red one is Spivey but not too spicy. I'm definitely going back!

    Torta de fajita, don't let the look fool you...it was so good!

    What a wonderful find! From the moment I walked in, the service was incredibly friendly and…read morewelcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Being from Maryland and a seafood connoisseur, I was especially happy to see whiting AND perch on the menu, along with such a wonderful array of soul food choices. The fish was fried perfectly -- crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside, and definitely not overcooked. Even better, it wasn't overly seasoned or salty. Just right and tight! And honestly, I found this place almost by accident. I was nearby when I heard the R&B playing through the speakers and felt like I was being summoned by the soulful sounds. What a gift to have stumbled upon this spot! Tiera and Renetta took great care of me and made me feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere was bright, clean, comfortable, and reminded me of home. Now I see why they say Houston is famous for its Black-owned restaurants with outstanding cuisine. Soul Goode absolutely lived up to that reputation. Great food, great music, great people, and great energy. I will be back -- and OFTEN!

    Delicious soul food in the Pearland area! Not pictured is the Mac n cheese, which I loved (as a…read moreMidwesterner). The chicken and spaghetti were some other faves. Green beans were well seasoned. The turkey wings could've used a little more seasoning. Corn bread was excellent. Another area for improvement is the customer service. The energy seemed a bit "dry" compared to other black owned businesses in Houston. A more enthused greeting from the cashier or owner would've helped. Otherwise, this was a nice find!
