Better than I expected honestly. SUPREME BURRITO $9.99 - [choice of meat (I got barbacoa), rice, beans, onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, sour cream]- There was a good amount of meat, not just rice. It was actually pretty tender and flavorful. The burrito was HUGE (especially for the price), I split it w/ the boyfriend. Everything else in it was really good too. GRILLED SHRIMP QUESADILLA $11.99 - came with 4 slices. At first, I was kind of skeptical when my bf ordered this, but I was pleasantly surprised. The shrimp had a good grill/char flavor. The shrimp were small, but they at least had a full layer of them. Could've used a bit more cheese though. The quesadilla was good but not sure if I would return for this. CHIPS & QUESO $4.99 - huge basket of chips and plenty of queso (took leftovers home). The chips are the thick kind if you like that. They were so addicting... I couldn't stop eating them. There's a small parking lot shared with The Burger Joint. Lots of cars went through the drive-thru compared to dining in. There's an outdoor patio section (way too hot right now even w/ all the fans) and an indoor part (the flies were a little annoying though). read more

Vibe- If you've heard of or been to The Burger Joint, this place is the taco version of that! What I loved is that they have plenty of vegetarian options on the menu :) they have a patio area full of tables so I'd imagine eating there is always an option! Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got the chips n guacamole (some of the best I've ever had)and the mushroom tacos come with cilantro and onions: full of flavor ; everything was delicious! Parking- They have a lot with a good amount of spots read more

After a successful Sunday Funday in the Heights, we needed a little something in our bellies to end the night. At that time of the night, all you want is something quick and easy. What better place than a taqueria or in this case, The Taco Stand. I already knew it was going to be awesome because it is the same company as The Burger Joint. I was thinking it was going to be some very Tex-Mex type taco, but these tacos were pretty authentic. I went with a couple of carne asada tacos and a pastor taco. They do not skimp on the perfectly seasoned, delicious filling and the tortillas were great as well. We shared some chips and queso which was a generous portion as well and very tasty. Another thing I really enjoyed was some of their salsas. They have a salsa bar with individual portions of salsa and extra condiments. Their habanero salsa was not only delicious, but it packed some really good heat that I love. If this place was closer to me, I could see myself hitting them up often. I will definitely be keeping them in my rotation when in the Heights! read more

I don't think I will be back. The burrito I had just tasted burnt (I think it was the rice and beans -maybe that scraped the bottom of the pot) and extremely salty at the same time. I was not satisfied at all. The service and ambience seemed cool though, just not for me food wise. read more

Stopped going for a bit cause quality hasn't been the same. Today went for lunch, very clean. Downside every thing was super salty. Ordered a carne asada & al pastor. Chips were salty too. Guacamole was good. And tortillas have gotten better. Guess will stop by again in another few months to see if it's changed. read more

On Sept 29th, Sunday...Me and my gym buddies had a great workout burning off some calories. So, we were trying decide on what to eat after a hard workout. Someone said let's get some Taco's ,and no one never tried The Taco Stand. When you get there you find a place to seat ,and after that you go to the order window. And, they will give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. Once, your order is ready you go to the Pick-up window. So, I order one grilled fish taco and shrimp quesadillas and a delicious frozen Mango and strawberry margarita. The ambiance is pretty much gives a outdoor feel with shaded area . And, they also have outdoor TV's , so you can watch the football games. It's a cool place if you don't mind being outside to getting some fresh-air!!! read more

Make green chile an option for breakfast!! You have green chili on the menu. I don't understand why you can't just serve it for breakfast as well if you've never had green chili on a breakfast burrito you're missing out and so is everyone else? read more

The price for the portions received are not really doing it justice, too expensive for what you're getting.

Fast food service in the heart of the Heights. Right next to Burger Joint, Taco Stand is a really chill spot offering fresh ingredients and expedited service. They have HH at 3, $1 off drafts, cheap margaritas, & more. Drive through option available for tacos on the go. Lots of variety and unique flavor profiles. I tried the mushroom and nopales taco. I also got the Jamaica (hibiscus) drink. Burritos, bowls, & quesadillas are also served here. Their covered patio seating gives a homey experience for people to relax and unwind. Their music was the star of the show and made me feel like I was on vacation. Really cool place. read more

The Taco Stand - Mushroom Taco Nopales Taco Chips n' Salsa - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

The service here is absolutely atrocious. It does not matter if you order a day in advance for a pick up or 10 to 15 minutes prior to getting there. I watched a gentleman stand at the window for 10 minutes waiting for his order. We saw a bag inside the window. They finally came up and asked him about his order and they handed him that bag. I then watched another lady walk up and they never took her order. She must've stood there for at least 10 minutes. Just awful service. If you can get past that, the tacos are pretty good. read more

This is my first time visiting. The service was great and staff was well knowledgeable of the menu even offering suggestions. The Restaurant is clean. Every thing was fine except my food. It was very salty and favors were HORRIBLE. The sauces at the bar were not good at all at all. I order some extra sour cream to see if I could help the taste, it didn't work. I'm so disappointed i was hoping to have an enjoyable lunch. read more

Best lengua tacos in HTX The whole place is super cool and low key vibe, they have agua horchata and Jamaica and of course a good variety of tacos I also had the elote and was very delicious, been here 3 times already and planning to keep coming read more

I can't believe I didn't try this place sooner, but I was looking for a good taco joint around The Heights area! I stumbled upon this place with my friend after we did a workout. It opens late and is a nice casual place, which I really like. It's mainly outdoor seating. We went at night, so the weather felt great. Loved that they have TV's on with the Astros game playing to watch also. You go up to the stand to order and then they give you a buzzer to pick up your food when it goes off. I tried the barbacoa and chicharron tacos on corn tortilla. It was so delicious. I had 3 tacos and I was super full. We also got a regular horchata, which was honestly a very generous size. It tasted so great. I'm definitely going to be coming back. read more

The Taco Stand - Barbacoa tacos and chicharron taco on corn tortilla - Tacos Near Me - Houston, Texas

I wanted to like this place because the burger joint is amazing. But these are a sad excuse for a taco. The meat is dry. The tortillas are the heart of the tacos and here they are dry and tasteless. The ambience is great and the service is fine. I should add that the tacos are also expensive and not worth it. They try to be authentic but fail epicly. I would compare them to torchys but at least torchys taste good. read more

My current obsession are the vegan beef tacos/burritos. The flavor is just TOO good and the price is cheap!! The food is best eaten in person, as the "meat" is very oily if you get it to go. The rice and beans in the burrito are also vegan btw. And the margs are good as well! read more

Got chips and guacamole today, to go and it was spoiled and tasted terrible. So sad because it is usually good. Gonna lose customers if you do this to them. read more

So I'm on the fence between a 3 and a 4 star bc the service from the lady made it a 4. I was 1 of 3 customers in the establishment and I saw her diligently filling salsas and cleaning up. In addition, I wasn't sure if I was suppose to leave my trash or dispose of it and she gladly told me that i didn't have to worry and that she will take care of it. Now on to the food, I had 1 Barbacoa Taco and 1 Carne Asada Taco with cilantro and onions on both. I made sure to tell the person taking my order bc I read other yelpers say that they forget to put them on there. I didn't have any issues. So the 3 stars comes in bc of the price; the tacos are super tiny and not life changing . The meat was very tender, however I didn't taste any spices or seasoning. The salsa bar gave the tacos the added flavor they needed by way of pickled onions, green and red salsa, and some escabeche. Without those additions the talks are just OK. My taco philosophy is that they should be good without the extras just a little lime. read more

I am changing my review-based on the excellent response I got from management. They were very proactive to fix the issues I had

I've only been here for breakfast but their breakfast tacos are huge! Very filling. I only get 2 and it's enough. I've been getting the migas and another rando. The issues I have for not giving 5 stars are: 1) you have to order online for pickup. 2) they have mosquitoes. I don't want to order online while I'm driving and I don't want to get bitten by mosquitoes. Both of these things feel like they'd streamline the business. read more

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Ordered online last night around 11pm. A supreme burrito, meat bowl, elote, limonada and Jamaica. We got a text saying it was ready around 11:15 so my husband went inside and they told him the order was still processing and to wait a bit. He waits outside and goes back in and around 11:30 they said they're starting on the order now. He waits in the drive thru and it's now 12:15. They tell him they're still working on it. He asks why it takes so long. The girl tells him that online orders come in last and the texts are automated. We get our food. All the sauces aren't in there. The rice in our burrito and bowl is undercooked. The elote had a huge clump of cotija and tons of cayenne. Barely any corn. His Jamaica drink was good. I didn't get my limonda. I got horchata instead. Did not drink. Don't think I'll be ordering from here again. Took over an hour just to be frustrated and disappointed. read more

Tacos here are tasty although not justified by the price. Feel that for what you pay, you should get a larger portion or the flavors should jump out and hit you senseless. Unfortunately neither of those happen. Best one Ive had is probably the carnitas which is the best value IMO. The mushroom isn't bad either. However there is a drive-thru and online ordering which makes it easy to pickup. Complimentary sauces/salsas/garnishes are next to the order window when you want to spice up your handheld concoctions. And nothings more Texas than eating in the shade while sipping on your cerveza eating your comidas. read more

I tried this place with a few friends. Her church group was coming here, so instead of Bosscat, which is usually busy, we tried this place. I had the meat bowl which comes in a stainless steel mixing bowl with lettuce, guac, and cilantro. Sour cream, pico, and cheese are extra. First off, they got my order wrong or couldn't tell which one was which cause my friend ordered the same but diff extra toppings. Her buzzer had gone off right after mine. I said mine had no cilantro. They gave me my bowl, but I said I also had cheese and ordered a cup of elote. I finally got my order. I like that there was a variety of salsa, lime, and extra cilantro packed in plastic containers at a stand by the window. You can grab and go. Meat bowl - Carne asada. Diced very small. No flavor. Barely any meat. The bowl was overly loaded with rice and beans at the bottom, then loaded with guac, sour cream, and lettuce. I ate mostly the meat with some of the rice and beans. It was so loaded with fillers that it was hard to taste the meat or anything. Elote - Soupy and salty. No mayo. Chips and queso - My friend ordered this. It was the only thing I liked. Chips are deep fried and thick. Queso was good and had some poblanos in it. Someone in the group ordered a quesadilla, which looked better. Ample parking for The Heights area. Lots of seating, but when you come in a crowd, save tables. This place is too overpriced for the quality/flavor of food. They have ads on the napkins for $5 margaritas from 3-6 pm Monday-Friday. Was bummed they don't serve breakfast tacos after 11 am. I wanted to try the chorizo and egg taco. It was ok to try, but I don't recommend. There are plenty of better taco places. read more

Great tacos, lots of meat in my tacos which was excellent. Love that all the pico and salsas so you can put as much as you want on your taco! I really liked the barbacoa and the campechon tacos - those were my fave. I like the outdoor seating - lots of tvs which make it a good and fun place for watching sports / hanging out on the patio. I wish they had free chips and salsa to go with my tacos!! read more

I loveeeee taco stand. It's our go to spot after soccer games & it's also my favorite place to go after night shift to get a breakfast burrito. Have not been disappointed so far.

Such a vibe . Good Mexican tejano music playing . I'm here around 10:07 am . And music jamming. Tacos were absolutely delicious. We order four tacos and two Mexicans cokes for less than 25$ bucks not bad at all . Located in the height's. Parking is fair . I recommend the barbbocoa tacos . Not dry at all . Tortillas are freshly made . Outside seating . Domestic bottles and frozen margaritas . Wonder drunk list menu to choose from . See my pics for more details read more

Dined in for dinner and ordered four burritos to-go. The ordering experience was quite easy and I only waited about 15 minutes for the order to be ready. I was offered water while waiting, and before I could order chips and salsa to snack on, the order was ready. All in all, we ordered two Carnitas burritos and two Carne Asada burritos. I will say that was the MOST EXQUISITE Carnitas burrito I have ever had!!!! The Carnitas was cooked to perfection, falling off the bone, licking your fingers, wanting more, good. Beyond exquisite!! Everything was homemade fresh, including the tortilla on the burrito, and the rice and beans that were slabbed on there as well. I will definitely return to the taco stand, because that was next-level carnitas. This tasted like my tio made it during our family reunions-- I definitely recommend The Taco Stand for authentic Mexican cuisine. read more

Taco Stand is now charging $1 extra for each breakfast taco "due to the rise in egg prices". I understand the reasoning. But why charge an extra $1 if you DON'T GET ANY EGG ON YOUR TACO?!?! Was charged extra $1 for no eggs. Another SCAM in the making. I got a chorizo and potato breakfast taco. No eggs and very little chorizo, mostly potatoes. Paid an extra $1 for a potato taco!!! read more

I stopped at this place to get some food to go. The parking situation is sort of a nightmare but the place looks like a chill vibe. It was very busy though. I ordered a burrito with beef fajita and also ordered a side of rice, beans, and elote. Although the burrito was tasty. I didn't get my rice or elote (corn in a cup) which totaled $10 for both those items that were missed. I'll try this place again but hopefully they will give me those two items for free since I paid for them and didn't receive them. read more

We've had our eye on this place every time we went to HEB wondering when they would open and today we saw a line so decided to stop by. We called our order in and was told the food would be ready in 10 min so extra points for efficiency. I'm glad they allow togo orders to pay at the pickup counter instead of making us wait in the ordering line which was surprisingly quite long. They had a nice covered patio area with heat lamps and seating. We ordered the pastor taco, carnitas, barbacoa, campechano de puerco (carnitas, chorizo, chicharron). We also had a mixed meat (chicken and carne asada) and cheese quesadilla, guacamole, elote, and chicharrons. My favorite tacos were the barbacoa and pastor. Both had a lot of flavor. It's not the best meat I've had but a good medium between taco stand taste and restaurant establishment tacos/service. The guacamole portion was also large and very cheap at 3.99. The elote needed more spice and lime. The main thing that caught me off guard was that our tacos didn't come w any cilantro, lime, or onions. It makes such a big difference and I saw that other pics on Yelp had it so I didn't think I would have to specifically ask for it. I was a little disappointed by this. Overall, this is a good spot to pick up a quick dinner when you're in the area and craving tacos. But I wouldn't come here if you're looking for authentic street tacos. read more

Tried this place a few times over the last 5 to 6 months. I have to say that the more you try this place the more you realize it's not that great. I still think the tacos are decent, but last night I tried the refried beans and a quesadilla with barbacoa. Quesadilla - greasy and bland, both the meat and cheese seemed to be lacking in flavor Refried beans - no real flavor just salty to the taste and almost a chicken broth taste to it, pretty horrible I also got one of their specials which was chicken pozole. The pozole was awesome. The tortilla chips they give you with them were also very good. Overall this place is still better than taco bell, but nothing special in my opinion. read more
