100% Taquito

I wish I could give the restaurant a better rating, but I can't do it in good faith. The food was good (not exceptional, but pretty good overall), and the ambiance is nicely decorated, with friendly staff. But the main issue is that black mold was visible in the fountain drink station. Primarily in the ice dispenser. Since it could lead to some people getting sick, for something that is basic maintenance/cleaning, I have to give it 1 star.

100% Taquito is a must-visit for authentic Mexican food lovers. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff provides excellent service that makes you feel right at home. The food is fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. A highlight is their sauce with a delightful lemon touch—it adds the perfect zing to every dish. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference! The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are fair, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Whether you’re craving tacos or other Mexican classics, 100% Taquito delivers on flavor and quality. Highly recommend checking this place out for a true taste of Mexico!

Great Experience at 100% Taquito 🌮 I absolutely love 100% Taquito! The place has very reasonable prices. The tacos are delicious, offering authentic flavors that are sure to satisfy any craving. Their margaritas are also top-notch, making it a perfect spot for both food and drinks. Overall, it’s a wonderful place with good prices, good tacos, and great margaritas. Highly recommended!

Great first experience at this place. The inside is clean and spacious. Decor is also cute. And most importantly the food tastes amazing. We'll be back.

¿WHAT IN THE TACO HELL HAPPENED HERE? This place used to be a Houston legend that loved, so when I returned to Houston for a visit after years away, I made it one of the first places I wanted to eat. Huge mistake. But I now know why the place was practical empty during peak dining hours. Nothing makes me want to return. For starters, the cashier was nice enough but botched my order, and when I picked up, my ordering wasn't the complete order, making me have to go back for it. But the real kicker? The food was just sad. I think I'd rather buy a store-bought taco kit than come back for this “authenticity.” 100% Taquitos, you owe me an explanation.

Came here for a quick lunch. This place has plenty of seating inside and outside, you have to order at the front and then they call your order for you to come get it. The place is decorated but feels a bit stuffy. It was very warm when we were there so they definitely need to adjust their AC. The tacos came out fast and they were delicious, the salsa was spicy which I LOVE.

Had the Tacos de carne asada y de pastor. Pretty good and the handmade tortilla had a lot to do with that. Meat quality was better on the asada. People behind the register were very open and friendly. Couldn't care for the decorations but I didn't pull up for the decorations I pulled up for the food and I ate a bunch so that says a lot considering it was pricey. Good vs pricey ratio makes it a 4/5 instead of a 5/5.

The minute you walk in you’re greeted with a. Festive atmosphere. Next the service is quick and on point. The food is great and recommend the chicken sopes and chips and salsa. Get the molcajete fresh and warm.

The place is cute!!! Decor is unique! The food truck look inside is awesome!! All the Mexican characters as skeleton's is funny!! If you know you know... let's focus on the food too The customer service is great! They really try their best! The prices are not bad at all!!!! The menu is extensive but I love that they have so many authentic Mexican food!! Ordered the 3 small taquitos de carne asada and the banderitas which is rolled taquitos with beef! Yes small but packed with beef!! Not stingy at all!!! The beef flavor is so delicious, they are definitely doing the right thing here!! The salsas are amazing! Savory and spicy but delicious and yum fresh pico de gallo!!!! Parking lot as a plus for me because lots of areas around here don't have parking! Here plenty!!! Add some background music!! That will be just perfect!

I was hungry and decided to dine in for lunch. I loved the eclectic decor and how I felt like I was ordering from a food truck outside. Service was nice and fast. They give you a buzzer to pick your food up. I got the beef asada sopes which were good. Wish there was a little more flavor and I should asked for a lime. I also got the tres leches with strawberries. I typically don't like tres leches because the idea of a soaked cake doesn't sit well with me but this cake was delicious. Probably the second best I've had (which I guess doesn't say much because I typically don't order it). I also got the horchata which was pretty standard in taste. Overall, I had a good lunch and would come back if I was in the area.

I like this place cheap, good and fun. It's a spacious restaurant with lots of TV. Food is good and price range $7-for 3 tacos or flautas. The portion is small but for me was Ok. They change theme decorations frequently so you can see different decor every few months

My friends and I visited the place for Day of the Dead. They went all out with decorations and mariachis. Those are one of the best mariachis I've heard. I ordered the black bean sopes. They're pretty good. I just wish they had milder salsas at the condiment bar. I had never had a carajillo drink and ordered one. It didn't taste great and I've decided it's not my type of drink, but that's not their fault. Two of my friends ordered flan. They finished it so I think they loved it. My parents like their chicken tacos on corn tortillas. I missed the face painting that had been advertised. As far as service, you order at the counter and are given a buzzer. You pick up your food at another station. Everything is self-serve.

I have been eating at 100% taquito since I was a kid and every time I go back to Houston it is one of my must haves! The restaurant is counter service where you receive a buzzer to alert you when your food is ready. You'll then pick it up from a counter. Appetizer/snack items are usually ready first. My go to order is the beef banderitas only with cheese & crema only plus an order of beef banderitas with everything. They are nice and crisp with plenty of salsa & crema to add moisture to and prevent the taquitos from being dry. I recommend using a fork to pick up the taquitos by stabbing them through the opening on one end. This way your hands don't get salsa on them! The pork rinds are the best! They always come out so fresh and hot that they're still popping & crackling. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual and quirky with fun decorations for every season, holiday, & pop culture event. Even with the restaurant being indoors you feel like you're eating mexican street food from your fav taco truck.

A local casual Mexican spot which has been open for years. We came to get some tacos while in the area. The restaurant was decked out for Pride month! Service was minimal, order your food and drink at the counter and pick up when they are ready. There is also a self service utensils and salsa bar. We tried the Pastor taco, spicy brisket tinga tacos, Pastor pork sopes, and chilaquiles. I'm not a fan of either the red or green salsa. The chilaquiles were the best thing we ordered, solid 4/5. The tacos and sopes were just alright, 2.5-3 /5. Overall, the dishes here have pretty good price value, but the flavors and quality of food were subpar compared to other authentic Mexican taco joints.

I really love their tacos. Always easy and helpful service. The energy and atmosphere is great. Cheap prices for great tacos.

Have not been here in a few years, we were in the area and decided to stop by. It's obviously a very casual Mexican spot that leans more towards authentic rather than the fusion style. Service is pretty minimal as you just order and pick it up and clean up after yourself. We tried the chilaquiles, Al pastor tacos, and their shredded/stewed meat tacos, and Al pastor sopes. Their salsa bar is very disappointing, both their red and green salsas don't work for my palette. The Al pastor meat is good if you like heavy pineapple pairing with it. Their shredded meat is very subpar and I had trouble finishing it off. Value wise, it's very affordable; it's about $6-7 per 3 mini tacos and about the same for 2 sopes. Flavor wise, it is below some of the other taco spots that we've been frequenting

Same as it ever was. Reliable, with a large menu at a good price. They still have Barbie related decor, which your kids may enjoy, and a 12 foot skeleton inside. The food is good. Better than most fast casual and the vibe remains chill. The drink selection is good, but the non-alcoholic drink may be even better. I had a Rusa that was delicious enough to make me forget it was non-alcoholic.

Anytime I am in the West University area this is the restaurant that first comes to mind. The decorations and amazing which includes a huge animatronic skeleton by the salsa bar. The food is well seasoned and perfectly portioned. I wish i worked closer to this place as it would definitely be my daily lunch. The service is quick and they staff will help explain items that you may not be familiar with. In my opinion this is a MUST SEE establishment, so have some adventure. I highly recommend the sopes de tinga!!!

Rip off Mexican foods are not indicative of real Mexico. The dishes merely cover District Federal and no flavors. On top they charged me $5 for mole that has no flavor in a tiny plastic condiment that I mistakenly took it for salsa that I tossed to trash thinking it was just a sauce. Called and spoke to the GM, Marco, and he was super rude and arrogant stating that he doesn't need my business and that was how he designed the portion in a 2 oz container. It's a shame that this place has been cheating the Houstonian for years and no one stood up to this mafia.

Solid 3.5/5. Ordered for takeout here and arrived at the estimated completion time. Walked right in and they got our order immediately. Ordered a handful of things and they all came out hot and freshly made. Chipotle Flautas (Chicken) - There were 3 small flautas topped with cheese. It was very savory and you could definitely taste the chipotle. A little soggier than expected but still good. Rice and Beans mix - Good. Standard rice and black beans. Chips and Salsa - chips were thick and came in a large bag. The salsa was tomatoey and had a good amount of spiciness. Beef Asada Tostada - 2 small tostadas that were crunchy and fresh. The beef was tender and flavorful. Spicy brisket tinga quesadillas - 3 small quesadillas. best thing we ordered. Super moist brisket and soft flour tortillas. The thick layer of cheese inside was delicious. Ordered a lot of food and everything was pretty affordable! Parking is easy here since there's a big lot in front of the restaurant. Staff is efficient. The inside was decorated pretty eccentrically. Cool for photo ops. Also had a ton of seating and space. Good for large groups.

I really like this place! Lots of gluten free and a few vegetarian options. I am gluten free and a vegetarian and always enjoy grabbing food to go. I have dined in but often get takeout. I like the decor in the restaurant. I love the bean and cheese sopes and the elote. The red and green salsa are both fresh and delicious. They have really good margaritas too.

The food is good most of the time, but it's really hit or miss. The horchata never disappoints. The only other thing is the bathrooms because they are a bit dirty, but other than that it's good. The people who work there are nice and efficient at taking your order and making taste good on a quick way.

I think it would be hard to get anything here that's bad. We sampled a little bit of everything. My favorites were the torta and tostada. The tacos were great as well. Good guac and salsas. The taquitos weren't my jam. I'd certainly come back

Probably the best tacos I've had so far. I've literally been back twice within the last 2 weeks. I always have to get the chips and salsa, asada beef tacos, and pastor pork tacos every single time. The garlic shrimp tacos are also very good. The banderitas beef flautas were also really good. Everything always tastes really fresh and flavorful. I always look forward to coming back every time.

Quirky decor with classic Mexican fare! The inside of the restaurant resembled the streets of Mexico City with an entire food truck inside and lots of lights and decor. I originally planned on taking out but upon seeing the decor inside I decided to eat there. The service was quick and friendly. I tried out the elote, chicken quesadillas and a Rusa. The quesadillas were reallly good, with plenty of cheese and flavorful chicken. Paired with some guacamole and some their green salsa, it was great! The elote I had was also really good and had nicely charred corn. They also had Valentina available which was great to add to my elote. My drink was a Rusa which is a sort of sweet and spicy drink which is a typical Mexican street drink. I absolutely loved it! Overall I really enjoyed all parts the meal and would come back to try more of their dishes.

Great spot for a no-frills texmex experience! Prices are reasonable. You order in the front and pick up your food from the counter. Parking is easy to find as it is in a large plaza. There are a few vegetarian options (all labeled on the menu). My favorite is the vegetarian tostada. You add your own salsa from the salsa station from the front.

I stopped by after some local friends recommended this place for some authentic tacos. When we walked in it was a large restaurant with some Squid Games decor inside. This place got really packed later on in the evening. We ordered the asada beef, al pastor, spicy brisket tinga tacos, elote, asada beef quesadilla, beef tostada, beef banderitas, and a large order of fried chicharon. We loved all of the beef dishes and elote. The tacos were great in size and the juicy meats packed plenty of flavor. Definitely recommend ordering the tacos with corn tortillas as they make them fresh in house. The service here is great. Order in the front and wait 5-10 mins tops for your meal. This place was so good we had an order of our tacos there and decided to order more food to go. This is a great place to bring families and large parties as well. They play plenty of reggaeton so if you want a more quiet place this is not the spot. Don't expect to spent much here maybe max $30 to get full.

The asada tacos are delicious. Each order comes with 3 tacos. The chicaronnes come out piping hot!

I ordered and consumed 9 very delicious tacos of 3 different kinds. All on corn with no onions earlier including a set of beef, chicken and mole chicken tacos. The beef tacos were very tasty, fresh, moist and not too greasy. They were very nicely seasoned with good grill flavor. The chicken ones were also very tasty, juicy and nicely seasoned with a milder flavor than the beef, but great and one of the only places I will order chicken tacos. The mole chicken set of them was very tasty, saucy and moist in the shedded chicken pieces themselves. The mole sauce on them was kinda creamy in texture with a smoky and sweet duo of flavors. The corn tortillas on all these tacos were very fresh, soft, not greasy but not too dry and just the right amount of corn taste. The cilantro added that clean, herby aroma to all of them. Great service on this visit. On a note, the Banderitas and Tres Leches Cake are must-try menu items here as well.

If you've never had Mexican tacos, sopes etc in Cali or Chicago, you'll say they're good. But they're actually pretty mediocre. The salsas aren't great. Pricy. I can have this in Chicago for 75% of the price and it'll taste 100% better. 3 stars

My 4 year old dropped his drink on the floor and the lady wouldn't give my son a refill. I've been going to this location for years and spending a lot of my with them with my family and friends. We won't be going back anymore because of this. Do better and take care of your customers. Especially when my 4 year is crying because he spilled his drink!

Got the al pastor tacos! Very reasonably priced, got 3 for $6. Loved that they have the option to add pineapples to it. The corn tortilla was so soft, one of the best I've had. The meat was tender and seasoned well. 4 stars, mainly cause of the sauces, the red and green sauces were okay, bland and not spicy.

Went there for my birthday and have gone there since I was kid. It's always been a great place to eat for me and my family with a very creative atmosphere(it had a bunch of unicorns). Staff is always very friendly and the tres leches is the best thing you will ever have. I love the little buzzy thingy they give us and I've never had a bad experience here.

This is a good-average standard Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere/service: I liked the fun decorations they change up for different holidays, and the service has always been very good. It's a very casual place. My table was a little sticky but otherwise the restaurant looked pretty clean. Food: I tried the tacos de tinga (spicy chipotle brisket) and chips/guacamole which were both good! The brisket was juicy and the guacamole tasted very fresh. I also tried the torta de pastor (pork) with spicy carrots which was very reasonably priced, but I didn't enjoy it as much. The flavor was just ok - the pork was a little dry and the spicy carrots were more sour (vinegar like) than spicy. They did still complement the torta well. I was disappointed that they didn't have free chips and salsa which I feel like most Mexican restaurants have. The torta didn't come with any sides either, so it didn't feel really feel like a full meal. Parking: It's located in a busy plaza so parking in front can be hard. Check the back lot if you can't find a space.

Taquitos are good!! Small but mighty!! I had the flautas and they where delicious! Salsas are very fresh. They have flavored margaritas but didn't try them because it was mid day on a work day ! But I'll definitely be back on the weekend!

They created an event that was a family environment but unfortunately, they have adult videos showing on their TVs with naked woman and murder scenes. They made us wait an hour and a half for the kids event to start even though everytime we asked the time changed. First it was at 7:00pm, then 7:30pm, then "in 20 minutes" which would've been 8pm. Paying customers without kids had to stand to eat because all the families waiting were sitting down waiting for the event. The food was okay but the set up is ridiculous. Everything was separate. Everything. Even the damn whipped cream. Thank God I had some change in the bottom of my purse or my benuelos would've been plain. This place has so much potential, but should really consider what's best for the customers.

Yum! Fast and delicious. Came by for a late lunch during the week. Will definitely be back.

I have been here a few times, but it had admittedly been years since my last visit, so I came for lunch today (Friday). The place gets busy given its location, but the inside and patio are quite large, so shouldn't have any issues there. The situation: order at the front, find a table, and wait for your number to be called. This is definitely an elevated taco truck - lots of authentic flavors and offerings at fair prices. Recommend getting a "starter" of some type (guac, chicharrones, etc) plus your tacos/quesadillas/sopes/whatever - as the "ito" in the name implies, not huge portions here since everything is a la carte. Food is made fresh to order. Main drawback this time was the place seems a bit rundown: AC was struggling (on one of our 100deg September days, though), ice machine wasn't working in one part of the restaurant, tables are a bit beat up. I think it all adds to the quirkiness (hello awesome decor), but it is definitely more of a "come as you are" spot than dining destination. Parking: in a strip center, so beware of any reserved spots for businesses. If it is full, there is overflow parking behind near Westpark. Overall - 3.5 stars.

Lame margarita. Didn't try the food. The layout is a lil strange. Perhaps a step up from taco cabana?

History: began as a school project in University of Houston with a mission to recreate the experience of eating in the streets of Mexico City. They began operating from a trailer in the summer of 1996, selling tacos in a parking lot. Two years later it moved to it's current location. They have tons of decorations and it's very well appointed. Many of the tables have a skeleton in one of the chairs so you can dine with the dead if you like. Grab a menu at the Alto and then order at the counter to the right of it. No need to Alto (stop). Cashiers are very nice (a sign says $14/hr pay for the gig plus free tacos). The menus have descriptions of what many of the Spanish words mean so don't worry if you can't remember like me. We tried the Assad and the sampler tacos. Both very good. Chips with half salsa and half guacamole. The salsa is warm. The chips on the thicker side. But very crispy and fresh tasting. They don't sell queso though. Blasphemy. I love queso. That's my only complaint. You can get green and red salsa (not the same as cones with the chips) at the toppings bar along with pico de gallo (tomato/onion/cilantro/jalapeño mix). Tres leches was tall and pretty good too. Not like churrascos good. But good nonetheless. And the Mexican candy drink was a nice change from getting a margarita.

So yummy! I actually had to stop myself from ordering more flautas, yes it's that good Tortilla soup was surprisingly good. It's well balanced without too much acid flavor and nice lil heat( well it said got&spicy but if you are maniac like me, you wouldn't call it hot&spicy ) I have a thing for hand made corn tortillas so it made it that much better. Funny, I am not the type to eat the same food twice in a row but I came to eat these cheese quesadilla and beef taquitos now two days in a row and I wanted take a bag of them home (I didn't, ) It's a must try Taco shop in Houston!

Food is good. The homemade corn tortillas are great. But the place looks like a junkyard. There are skeltons all over, even when it is not day of the dead. The decor is unappealing and looks more like a haunted house instead of a restaurant. It dd not used to be like this. It was clean and neat. Now I do not barely want to go there because it is so junky snd unappealing. The music is also blaring like if it was a nightclub. You can't hold a conversation over this loud distasteful rap/ reggaton music. The women are either nakid or wearing gstrings in sll the videos. There is all kinds of gyrating, etc in these videos. What are these owners thinking? Why the slum look and the nasty videos? I won't return. It is a shame. I used to love this place.

This place is a joke. I ordered a torta which they give it to you in French bread. Barely had any meat, you had to search for it. The only thing I liked was the red salsa for the "salsa bar." The green salsa tasted like like biting in a lime

Looking for some affordable tacos that'll fill your stomach and satisfy your palette? Then you've come to the right place, 100% Taquito. Nestled in a shopping strip across the way from Greenway Plaza, 100% Taquito serves up some authentic Mexican favorites from tacos, to plates and other fundamental Mexican food. I love this place not because of it's location and closeness to my work, but I come here because the prices are reasonable and the food portions are great! Took my parents here recently (mother is a lover of all Mexican food), and we just had tacos, tacos and more tacos. If I were you, you first-timer maybe, I would recommend the Sampler tacos, you gotta try every little bit from time and time again!

I have been a frequent customer at 100% Taquito for many many years and I am so glad they are still around and their food has not changed. Great tasting tacos and tortas! My favorite items on the menu has got to be their chicken mole con arroz. I'm picky when it comes to mole. It has to be just perfect and theirs is one of the best! It has great flavor and the right amount of spice. I could HEAPINGS of it. Also... BEST SALSA in houston! Spicy and full of flavor. Would eat it every day if I could. Also, they have a fantastic fountain soda machine. The Dr. Pepper is crisp! haha! Quick and friendly service as well. Highly recommend!

food here is great and affordable! ordered the beef asada tacos, pork sopes and tortilla soup. it was my first time trying sopes and they were pretty good! loved the tacos and the soup had a great spicy kick to it. their pineapple marg was also delicious. overall a super filling meal! the lady behind the counter was friendly and super helpful in giving us recommendations for what to get. the quirky decorations inside were also super cool. will definitely be back!

This restaurant is off the chain, authentic everything that my family and I have ordered has been so good not to mention they're Mexican candy drinks.

Cool spot! Fun decor, great Mexican food. Easy parking. Had the pastor torta. The bread was crispier than I expected, but still good. I really enjoyed the quesadillas, which are more like tacos with melted cheese than quesadillas we typically think of in the US. Prices were very reasonable. They've got a good variety of beverages including alcoholic beverages. The grapefruit Paloma was delicious! They've got a salsa station that was fun to try. Great casual fun food joint!

UPDATE: spoke with one of the managers a few days later and he apologized profusely. He gave me the option of a refund (as it was never processed by the very rude cashier) or coming in for an order of tacos and tres leches on him. Since it was never about the money but the way that lady treated us, we decided to go in and give it a second try and let's just say we were not disappointed! The food was very flavorful and their tres leches is probably one of the best we've had! We will definitely be back again! We decided to order take out to support this business during COVID. The website said the food would be ready in 20 minutes. Once we arrived, informed us it would take about an hour. The pick up process was very unorganized, there was no social distancing and no sanitization. Once we got home with order after a long wait, we realized we were missing half the order. We called to get a refund for the things we were missing but the girl put me on hold and then hung up on me. I tried calling back several times and she continued to hang up on me! She finally picked up when I called from a different number. She then said the entire order was refunded and then hung up. She never took my name down, order number, card information, etc. Needless to say, I'll be calling in the morning.

Their carne asada on corn and spicy tortilla soup with avocado are my go-tos. Everything about this place makes me feel at home. The customer service is incredible and fast. We get buzzers for our food and get to pick where we'd like to sit (indoor and outdoor seating available). My boyfriend and I can't go without this place for longer than a week.

I visited here with some coworkers during lunch. There's plenty of space and seating inside, even during the rush hour of weekday lunch. You order at one counter and pick up from another, which is smart because less people are standing around in the way of you ordering or picking up. I ordered the beef fajita quesadilla, which actually were shaped like 3 flour tacos. I didn't mind at all. The flavor was good and the meat was tender. I was able to add a few veggies to my food from the self-serve salsa bar. I'd definitely try this place again. The only downside would probably be parking. The restaurant shares the strip center with multiple businesses, so it was a bit packed during lunch in the parking lot. I would suggest either arriving early to beat the crowd or afterwards to let the crowd move out.

I placed a large order of tacos for cinco de Mayo and the tacos were so so. They lacked some flavor and they were really skimpy on the onions & cilantro. I've definitely had way better. My friend went to pick up the order and she called me upset and frustrated. They wanted to charge extra for salsa. I decided to try them again and ordered the taquitos to go. They were really good! I ordered them go. I got them with the salsas and cheese on them which made them a bit soft but that's due to them being packed to go. I took a bit while sitting in my car and it was delicious.....I ended up finishing them in the parking lot. Lol I'll be back for the taquitos....I'll skip the tacos lol

Don't know why this spot don't have a five star but to me, the tacos are really good! Clean and flavorful. I had the carne asada tostada and the gulf shrimp taco and I must say it was really flavorful. Will be coming back again.

wonderfull service,clean atmosphere and delicious food ! don't miss it you gonna love it !

It is true that even though the decorations are awesome, having storage in two corners right next to the tables is an eyesore. The food did not stand out. I thought it would be really good but I visit food trucks that are better. Hopefully one day the owner will take more pride and hide or cleanup the messy corners. I will probably not eat hear again.

I eat here almost every day for lunch! The chicken taco salad and elote is my favorite. They're super quick and they have so many tasty options for a good price. Beware about the flautas though, they are kind of dry - not to worry, they give you sour cream and cheese to help combat the dryness lol!

It's my favorite taco place ever! I love the size, they are mini and that's a perfect portion for me. Salsa bar is good as well.they also serve margaritas and it's reaaaly cute inside!
