"The food has a depth of smoky flavor and slight crispy char that seems impossible to achieve in a truck that tiny." The Infatuation — 8.6/10

"Some of the best tacos in all of Houston. The tacos are full of flavor, perfect moisture and not dry. The salsa is well-balanced — it enhances the meat rather than overpowering it."

"The tacos de lengua were incredible — and I'm not even a lengua fan! The tacos de barbacoa and the salsa were also delicious. Everything about this truck was amazing."

Bertha A.via Google

"By far best tacos I ever have. Wow. If you come here be willing to wait a little on the line — it is so worth it."

Luis S.via Google

"Delicious tacos at a justifiable price. All meats were great. Fast moving service. Definitely worth the stop if around Houston."

Eric R.via Google

"The meats were well seasoned and tender, the lengua especially. The green hot sauce is more like an avocado sauce — not spicy, but quite delicious."

"When it comes to barbacoa, there is no taco truck I visit more often than El Taconazo. They have become my gold standard for late night eats in Houston."

Jando S.via Yelp

"Hands down my favorite taco truck at any time of day. The hickory smoked flavor is in every bite."

Jose L.via Yelp

"Tacos are juicy, flavorful, and cooked with skill. The quesadillas are loaded with cheese and perfectly grilled. The green salsa is legendary — flavorful enough to deserve its own spotlight."

Jacob S.via Google

"Iconic taco truck of Houston. The value proposition is indeed proposing. For me, 4 tacos is more than enough — they're big and packed with meat."

Peter W.via Yelp

"Very flavorful and well seasoned steak tacos. The tacos are cheap and delicious. They have agua frescas too — don't skip the horchata."
