Happy hour
Diona W.

We came here because we saw it the night before. It really does look like a truck yard, which is totally fine. The set up is a bit different because you see yourself you order yourself and you pay before you get any of your food. This does cause a little issue since they want you to tip but you actually haven't received any food but we tipped of course the service is really good even though you don't see any of the staff unless you were getting your food but when you do the employees, there are extremely friendly and very helpful. They had a band plane at the time which was cool. It was pretty empty because we wanted to eat before it got dark because we walked, but I bet on weekends it gets pretty lively. All in all it's a pretty cool place with a very simple food menu.

The food is delicious... BEST Philly cheesesteaks EVER, and they offer food trucks, games, and Ferris wheel rides. Customer service is out of this world. The energy is upbeat with an incredible atmosphere and live entertainment every single day. Amazing drinks too!!

Accidentally came across Truck Yard and glad I went in! It has a very fun vibe, there is live music and lawn games, and plenty of seats to accommodate those who like the crowd and those who just want to be tucked away in a corner. There are QR codes on the table so you don't need to go up to order anything, if you just want to stay where you are. Got the purple drank, which I highly recommended! The fries were a little soggy, so unless you need some carbs, probably ok to skip. They also sell flask cocktails if you're up for that!

Do you have a place that you consider an "old faithful"? Well, this place is that for me. For starters, the decor is so fun and playful. I absolutely LOVE all the detail they put into decorating. Thennn...have you ever gone to a bar, had a few drinks, then ended up super hungry, only to find out they don't serve food? Well guess what? This place has a whole mini food truck park. They also have crawfish when it's in season. Lastly, the bartenders are great! Fast service and delicious drinks. With all that being said..chop chop and get over there!

Quirky little bar in EaDo! Tons of cool little photo op spots throughout the yard. They have a Photo Booth and a little private karaoke room you can book too! Think you need a Ferris wheel to complete your day drinking? They have one! Parking was easy enough when we stopped by, there's a pay lot across the street. Cheap drinks. Good times. The patio is dog friendly too!

Super cool funky place - an unusual bar. It's almost like you're at Coney Island or the south Jersey shore boardwalk. Fun place, one of the bartenders is very salty but otherwise a good time. It's an eclectic place and they have live music. Came here late at night during the week and it was still full of energy. Drinks are typical bar drinks, it's really all about the atmosphere. Doing a nice big photo dump so you can get a feel of the place. Recommend checking it out.

Great mellow spot. Cold beer, didn't eat so can vouch on that but totally recommend. Lots of food trucks so a lot of options on what to eat.

Outdoor area is decorated with details all around

We enjoy going to truck yard. The atmosphere is laid back. A great spot for families during the day. The ferris wheel provides a different experience for all ages. Live music. Food trucks on rotation offer a variety of options. Self serve, grab a beer pick a table and enjoy. The service at the bar is friendly and helpful. Many beers on tap.

Yes!! Such a fun place! We used to live in Dallas and enjoyed the truck yard there so we were excited to see there is one in Houston too. It was a very easy walk from downtown to get there. It's larger than the one in Dallas and even has a Ferris wheel. It was very busy but we never had to wait in line very long for drinks. Service was friendly. It's dog and family friendly too. There were 3 food trucks, a crawfish stand and cheesesteaks. We didn't eat but the food sure did look and smell good.

I wonder where is calling for next year?!
Savannah S.

Went here on a night out and this place had great live music, good drinks, quick service and a for real life Ferris wheel that just me and my hubby rode on. It was like something out of a movie! I'd definitely go back and go here first!

Came here for Dolly Day, but this place is pretty cool! Lots of open seating, food trucks, and even a cheesesteak place that's always here! And it's so good! I recommend the Bear! Also got a souvenir dolly cup with purchase! They also have karaoke and dog friendly. Been here a couple times with my pups. Lots of seating too!

Stage with live music!
Mindy L.

Great hidden gem! They've got many cool things going on from photo booths, live music, karaoke, and the Ferris wheel. We went on a weekday evening and they had fans and misters going to help with the heat. Live music was going but the karaoke & ferris wheel only go on during certain days/times so best to check ahead of time if you're looking for those. Ordered drinks from a QR ode at the tables (I think food can only be ordered at the bar area) and they were great! Fun, quirky spot definitely worth checking out.

Jackeline R.

One of my favorite places in the area! The environment is very chill, you can bring your dog, there's plenty of food options, and the drinks are going to hit the spot every time! They're under 21 friendly until 9pm which is cool if you want to come by earlier in the day just for the vibes and to enjoy the live music!

Visited Tacos Tierra Caliente while in Houston. Timing is funny sometimes. I had just been chatting…read morewith Gretel about breakfast tacos the day we landed in Houston -- and breakfast tacos are one of my favourite things about visiting Texas. We pulled up to this food truck and, while placing our order, I instantly had the feeling that this crew knew exactly what they were doing. That impression proved to be spot on as soon as I took my first bite. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and packed with the kind of simple, honest ingredients that make great breakfast tacos so satisfying. No gimmicks, no unnecessary fuss -- just well-executed food that delivers exactly what you're hoping for. The service was efficient, the operation ran smoothly, and it was easy to see why there was a steady stream of customers. Overall, an excellent breakfast taco stop and exactly the kind of local experience I look for when I'm in Houston. Saluti.

Luckily, this spot takes both card and cash! I got the small beef quesadilla, and it was loaded with cheese. The small quesadilla was $5.50, and it was pretty decently sized for a small. They have salsa set out at the counter, so you can pack as much as you like. The red salsa was smoky and SPICY. Very tasty if you like spice I see a lot of great reviews about this place. I would like to try their other tacos and give a more detailed review. I will be back! but for sure the quesadilla was a hit for me

Right now they are operating as a pop up while they get the building ready. The food was so good I visited twice in a week! So far I have tried the steak, chicken, and shrimp and you can't go wrong with any of them. The steak is my favorite but all 3 proteins have good flavor and are cooked well. The veggies included are fresh and are cooked just long enough so that they blend in with the rice and meat, rather than crunchy veggies standing out. That's a huge plus for me and something that other hibachi places don't always get right. You can order yum yum sauce, teriyaki, sriracha and ginger sauce to complement your meal. The plates are flavorful enough that you don't even need a sauce. Even the rice has good absorbed flavor from the other ingredients, without being greasy or partially seasoned in spots. One person can easily fill up from one of the single protein options, and have leftovers if you order the 2 or 3 protein options. All of the employees are friendly and helpful, and the spot is already a chill place to hang out and catch up with members of the community. I'm glad they opened up near me and look forward to my next visit.
