Taqueria Aguascalientes

The Best Tacos in Houston | Eater Houston

"Tucked inside a family-owned, full-service meat market and grocery store, this taqueria is known for its long, countertop-lined space with red vinyl-topped stools, where diners can watch as their orders sizzle on the grill. There are nearly 20 types of tacos to choose from, such as nopalitos (prickly pear cactus), aguacate (avocado), barbacoa, and jamón. Fair warning: If you’re not a Spanish speaker, you may need to dust off your high school Spanish skills to order at this cozy spot. Stop by the carniceria and grocery store after to pick up imported spices and quality cuts of meat to take home." - Brianna Griff
