    Tacos de Fajita y Pastor
    Nicole L.

    This has been my go-to taco truck for about a year now. It's been a couple months since we've been so I was excited to see the little upgrades around (like the table tops, cups, TVs, decor and even sauce packets). Service window was moved so we ended up having to wait a little longer to order. No big deal. My biggest concern though, is the quality of the food that seems to have taken a dip. The Barbacoa tacos were mushy and had zero flavor. The pastor has been better seasoned and both meats had quite a bit of fat/gristle. I hope this was just a bad day and not at the cost of upgrading certain features.

    Dedicating my first review of 2024 to Taqueria el Toluca! I can't tell you how much I love this place. I think about this place more often than I should. This was one of the places my friends and I found after a good climbing session at Momentum Katy. That post climb fuel is always important. And we came across Taqueria el Toluca. It's a true hidden gem, behind a gas station. No parking spots, but make it your own. Makeshift shed with telenovelas and bench seating. They even provide paper towels. The menu is simple. It's abundant. And cheap. They open late! You order at the first window, and pay at the second. Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas and Torta are DELICIOUS. Absolutely freaking delicious. They don't skimp out on the meat. It gets to the point of deciding how hungry you are or if you want to save your other half for the next day. Tough decisions. Even that next day reheat is so good. The green and red sauce so good, you want more. And let me tell you, this was Mexican boyfriend approved.

    Convenient and affordable taco truck! My friends were struggling to find a place open late, so we stumbled upon this taco truck. For 4 people, our total was under $30, and we had plenty of food for everyone. The tacos are decently sized; we each were pretty full from 3-4. The quesadilla was amazing and large enough to share. I loved both of their sauces, but the food was great without them too. The employees were very patient with us when we were combining our order. Since we did visit close to closing, they had little to no agua frescas left. They take Apple Pay and card, so payment was quick and hassle free. Our order was ready in just a couple of minutes and well packaged for our drive home.

    Happy to have found this lil place tucked in the corner. This was our first time trying it and we all really enjoyed the food. The flavor was on point and the sitting area was perfectly covered from the elements. The aguas frescas were deliciously refreshing. Very affordable too.

    KATY, TX / MEXICAN, TACOS / 05-22-22 / TAKEOUT DINNER +The $2 tacos were delicious. The portions were just right and the meat wasn't dry or overcooked. +The horchata was good. +Service is quick. +The spicy sauce and green sauce added different flavor profiles to the tacos. -They used crumbled chicken meat for the quesadilla, which made it a little messy for the kids. Overall, this is a nice taco truck and I wish they offered a few more protein options. Will be back!

    Haven't eaten at many food trucks around Houston but this one was awesome! There's like 8 choices of meat on the menu along with other menu items like burgers and hot dogs. Got mine with fajita meat and it was great! Loved the raw and grilled onions. There's plenty of seating some plastic tables under canopies. Also had a few bites of a burrito and that was a bit salty but pretty good! Had plenty of cheese on it also...overall this spot was one I'll remember. It stayed busy the whole time we were there, always a long line to order but moved fast. They also had your food ready in no time. Easy to find, but I didn't catch any of the prices so not sure about that. Overall I would absolutely recommend

A special shoutout to Ulises, who made our experience exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast without ever making us feel rushed. Since it was our first time visiting, they even surprised us with complimentary corn on the cob, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was outstanding and came out surprisingly quickly. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My husband was also impressed by the attention to detail throughout the restaurant--even the restroom was stocked with everything you could think of, from toothpicks to mouthwash, which was especially appreciated after enjoying all the delicious corn and black beans! It's rare to find a restaurant that combines amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful hospitality so well. We left already talking about our next visit, and we can't wait to come back and try their margaritas. Highly recommend!

    We had one of the worst dining experiences ever at Ambriza La Centerra. After living in Houston for…read more15 years and dining all over the city, this was by far the most disappointing restaurant experience we've had. What made it even more frustrating is that we've been to the Cypress location many times, and every single visit there has been exceptional -- great food, great service, and consistently enjoyable. Unfortunately, the La Centerra location was the complete opposite. We waited over an hour for our food, only to receive the wrong appetizer. The fajita plate arrived cold and without rice, beans, or tortillas. We sent both dishes back. The replacement appetizer -- ceviche tostadas -- finally arrived, but it was overloaded with lemon to the point of being unbearably sour. Meanwhile, there were still no tortillas, rice, or beans in sight. No drink refills, no updates, and barely any service during the entire wait. After another long stretch of waiting, we finally asked the server what was happening, only for her to return and tell us the kitchen was closing and they no longer had tortillas, rice, or beans available. At that point, after nearly 1.5 hours, we walked out with nothing but a to-go box of fajita meat. To the manager's credit, they removed the appetizer and fajita charges from the bill, but the experience itself left such a bad taste that it completely overshadowed the gesture. Extremely disappointing, especially compared to the excellent standards we've experienced at the Cypress location. Sadly, we will not be returning to this location.

Enjoyed the margaritas and excellent customer service from Katie. She expertly managed multiple tables, including an 8 top with ease and a smile. The restaurant was pretty busy since it was graduation week. I ordered the ground beef soft tacos with a side of black beans. My friends had the Marisco Bowl and a platter. Management was helping out and delivered our food. All the food items were hot and plentiful. Restrooms were clean and well stocked.

Our fajita meat today was old, and smelled off. We requested medium but it came beyond gray, and zero char- it was sweaty. This showed up within four minutes. The rice was dried out. The beans were, too. As I said- two thirds of the time is great. Sometimes bad visits happen. Then comes the annoying dance: I do *not* want a manager. I sure didn't need an argument (!) from the server about cooking theory. Not looking for free food. We were very hungry and now have to go find another restaurant. We paid and we left. All done. No desire to keep playing roulette with which experience we can expect, and the server pushback was the kicker. You'll be fine without us.
