I love this taco truck and come here frequently! The barbacoa tacos are my personal favorite but I've yet to have a bad taco from them.

First time at this very unassuming Taco truck in upper Kirby area. Fast and friendly service, very flavorful Mexican street tacos, and great price. Definitely coming back!

Savoring a taco from Tacos Tierra Caliente is like capturing the very soul of Houston in each bite—arguably, it's a nationwide culinary triumph. But the magic doesn't end there. Secure your gastronomic masterpiece and venture across the street to the Icehouse. There, pair your taco with a chilled beer. This simple yet sublime ritual captures an essence of joy that words hardly do justice. A perfect match, indeed.

Overall simple and tasty tacos. This very unassuming truck puts out some big flavors at a low price. I agree the tacos are not huge, but they are good and they are filling. The quesadillas were probably my favorite. Both the Trompo and Beef were great.
The parking lot is small for sure. You also have to eat in your car, standing or pop over to Alabama ice house. Glad I gave it a shot and would be happy to stop by again when im in the area next.

The spot to get tacos is here. My favorites are barbacoa and pastor on corn tortillas, but any of them will be good. Salsas give food a great spicy kick. Bring cash and depart pleased since it's cash only. I'd highly suggest bringing your order to the West Alabama Ice House next door to enjoy with a cold one.

Great Barbacoa! Egg and potato tacos are good. Beef is a strong no! Chicken tacos extremely dry. But I give the barbacoa tacos a 9.

The BEST taco food truck in Houston. Period. The breakfast tacos and simple street tacos are amazing. You will be instantly transported to Mexico.

I usually am wary of food trucks. But I didn’t have the squirts next day so I was relieved. These are like the donut holes of tacos I’d say. Delicious. But bite sized. It’s $3.00 ($.50 extra) if you want onions and cilantro too. My wife took one bite and I only had half a bite left. Grrrrrr. But I guess that’s the impact of inflation these days. Eso es la vida.

Honestly the food truck looks unfavorable but the tacos are amazing.
They are true Mexican Tacos. The seasoning is great and spot-on. They are the best tacos I have ever tried out of Mexico.
Be very careful with the salsas they are great but they are extremely spicy.🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Unfortunately there is no place to park or sit so you will probably be ordering to go.
