The Taco Company Houston Reviews
I made a joke this morning about how instead of just leaving a 5-star review, I should post my bank statement showing how frequently I come here. Upon further review, I think just leaving this 5-star review will be less headache of a conversation with my wife. Excellent selection here. I'm not an egg person, and this is my go-to for picadillo, chorizo, potato, nopales (and all combinations thereof) breakfast tacos. The only thing I might consider knocking down the score for is I don't think they regularly have barbacoa available, but I rarely ever seek that out so I may not be paying enough attention. Three damn good tacos and a coffee for something like $7.50. Sets up your morning right. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area but not really feeling the Taco C across 249.
Located inside shell gas station is a hidden gem of a Taco stand . Fresh sliced jalapenos in the eggs mexicana breakfast tacos ,and delicious pastor lunch tacos with fresh made pico and a full roasted jalapeno on the side. I highly recommend the red sauce because it will light you up!!! Loved it. Decent prices at 1.50 per breakfast taco and 1.80 for lunch tacos.
Great service, friendly staff, open EARLY! I have to get here around 5:40am. They are open, and ready to go!
Very good breakfast taco and great red and green sauce!!!!
Very tasty food!!!!! Wish it was closer to my home!!!!!

The male worker is very rude & made it clear he discriminates against gay people, a mishap happened with his wife & I a yr ago because I didn't have enough money for a taco, and he thought I was being rude..their food is NOT the greatest, it's one of those " last resort, quick grab" taco spots...some people have said roaches were spotted on floor and counters wiped with dirty rag..I'm very UNPLEASED with behavior and food..will be reporting this company to better business ..I don't recommend their food or service!! Try another taco spot near by..if you don't look "right" they seem to be rude..
States open at 5am but tacos not available until 5:30am Should update hours to reflect when actually available to drop by for pickup
I paid for a 3 taco special but only had two in the foil.
