"Originally from Santiago de Queretaro in Central Mexico, chef-owner Alex Martinez, also known as Senor Jukebox, comes from a bloodline of taqueros and carniceros, or butchers, so maybe it was destiny that he combine his Mexican heritage with his love for good music and excellent tacos. Just as the name sounds, this taco truck resembles an 80’s style portable sound system that keeps the party going while dishing out a variety of options, from steak, al pastor, chicken, and barbacoa to exciting veggie options, like vegan chorizo. Pro tip: Celebrate Taco Tuesdays with Boombox Taco at Axelrad, and catch them at Barbarella on weekends for late-night eats." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart

$12.99 + tax for 3 tacos. They give you decent amount of meat. The al pastor tacos had crispy edges and good flavor. Not too salty. Red sauce was spicy and complimented the tacos. Friendly service. A bit expensive compared to what I am used to but it seems to be the norm for downtown.

From the pickiest taco eater ever this place has the best meat and marinade in town. I am so happy I found this place and cannot wait to return for actual food.

They have the best vegan tacos that I have EVER HAD, out of every vegan and non vegan taco, in my life. Seriously. Every Tuesday at Axelrad. You HAVE TO try them

I used Boombox Taco to serve my guests at my 90s theme party this past Saturday, perfect touch to my theme! The Guys were great, had everyone laughing! At the end of the party my guests were raving about the Tacos! They were delicious! Many people said the best they’ve had in Houston!!!! I definitely would recommend them and plan to use them again for future events:)

Visiting from out of town and stopped at the truck yard and there was boombox tacos! It was the Juicy Angus Steak tacos for me, seasoned to perfection!! If you're ever in Houston, make sure you try to find them. You won't be disappointed.

The El Pastor tacos were full of flavor. I enjoyed every bite. My family members took bites out of my tacos and enjoyed them, too. 😉

I got the vegetarian tacos and my partner about the chicken street tacos. Both were so delicious the price point was not bad and it didn't take too long at all.

got a chance to check out Boombox Taco during taco Tuesday at Axelrad and I am so glad I did! The staff were personable and we enjoyed chatting with them. We tried both the steak and vegan chorizo tacos and they were so good! The steak tacos were juicy and the vegan chorizo tacos could sub a meat taco any day in my book! Both were flavorful They park at the back of the Axelrad outdoor area so it's nice to grab your taco and sit in a hammock to enjoy the ambiance!

A kickass taco truck! They're a regular rotation at Truck Yard which makes perfect sense; tacos go with any type of alcohol. Their pastor and fajita tacos are straight up dope with the portion size, tenderness and juiciness of the meats, tortillas with the right texture, and salsas that compliment/balance the proteins. Tacos are done just right here and at 3 for $10, you can't go wrong with the value! Flavors explode like a boombox on the beach after guzzling a 6 pack!

"Houston 2022 Seltzer Hard Seltzer Festival" I have to take my hat off to this taco food truck. Scrumpdidiliomptious. This is definitely a taco that I have been waiting for. -- It's vegan (Chariso) -- It was fast delivery/service -- It was worth eating more than 2, okay I should have eaten once more They were perfectly located at the halfway point of this experience, which was epically awesome! Until, next time, Bye Bye!

BEST TACOS in the galaxy!!!! Yes I said it! Come by and check out the coolest truck ever and get the pastor or vegan chorizo! Great options for everyone and good vibes too! These guys will become your friends :)

These were tasty but really nothing special--decent quality of meat and flavor. Very simple snack! Needed the salsas for extra flavor. But overall no complaints just basic tacos.

Talea C.

Delicious tacos, great veggie options, and very affordable. Love the mini corn tortillas and the hot sauce!

I went to this food truck while I was at Truck Yard for Sunday Funday and they did not disappoint! I was so excited to see 2 vegan taco options on the menu that sounded DELICIOUS, and they were!! My friend even tried some of the vegan chorizo and said it tastes IDENTICAL to her real one she had! I had 2 tacos, they look small but they were very filling. Will definitely be back for more! :)

If you want good street tacos, this is not the place. 3 for $12 is pretty insane. Y'all know how tiny those tacos are. The steak was alright but the Al pastor tasted wrong. I don't know how to describe it exactly but the flavor was not good. They look good in the pic but they're not. The salsa was pretty bland as well and they don't post their prices on the truck which is weird. Rather have Taco Bell.

Got to try Boombox taco on a Tuesday at Axelrad and their tacos were spot on. We ordered the quesadilla, then tacos al pastor, chicken and al pastor was my absolute favorite. We ended up getting a second round because they were so good. Tacos are 3 for $10 which you can't beat

Woah. The funky chicken taco is amazing. I wasn't sure if I could finish another one, but that didn't stop me from going back and trying!!! The regular chicken on corn was very good as well. And got the quesadilla well done, did not disappoint. Not to mention they have some good salsas. Flavorful vs spice. *update. Definitely finished another funky chicken taco. If it wasn't so wet/juicy, would've taken some home. Lol

Yelp
Fajita tacos are delicious!! Perfect with the green sauce. No other way to get them other than cilantro and onion. Love the atmosphere as well. Great job with food and great job with the venue.

Amazing Tacos! Literally the best street tacos I've ever had. Very filling and so much flavor definitely worth it. Got the Vegan Chorizo Tacos and the Grilled Vegetables. Ohhh and the Salsa Verde and Salsa Roja amazing! If you haven't tried them you need too. The owners are very nice and will accommodating. Your missing out!!

This place was amazing! Vegan chorizo and pastor tacos were bomb. We came to the truck at Truck Yard. Wait was short and the tacos came out fast.

Yo great great people!!! And there tacos are bussin!!!! Con madre la comida de mis compas. Ay los veo en barbs gracias por los tacos el sabado carnal.

Yelp
YUM!!! got the funky chicken taco and it was incredible! melted cheese, grilled onions, and fresh cilantro on top of perfectly seasoned chicken in a soft flour tortilla with nice, crispy edges (assume from the cheese - SO good!). husband got pastor tacos which i thought were pretty good, but the meat was a little bland. their green salsa fixed that. think it was $12 for all 3 tacos (funky chicken larger than the pastor which were street taco size) which i feel is pretty fair for a food truck. overall, GO! DELICIOUS!

Sarai M.

The best and amazing vegan chorizo tacos!!! So flavorful, super filling, amazing salsa and at the right price. This truck looks super cool at night! Just like an old school cassette player always at really cool places with great ambient. I can't wait to have more of those tacos!!!

Yelp
What a deal!!!!!! Tasted them my first time at Axelrad. I ate the chicken quesadilla and a beef and chicken street taco. So good and affordable coming from a food truck! I can't wait to visit Axelrad so I can try them again.

Grabbed a bite here as they were located outside Axelrad. Good amount of options besides your typical meats for tacos. They had a few vegan or vegetarian options, quesadillas and speciality tacos. I just stick with their standard tacos which were 2 for $5 and 3 for $7, not a bad deal. Of course these are those 3 bite tacos. I tried the steak, pastor and chorizo. These are served with onions and cilantro on 2 corn tortillas. You don't get to chose between flour and corn. The tortillas were slightly grilled so it brought out the corn flavor which is nice. They also have green (hotter) and red sauce. The meats weren't overly salty or greasy which was nice. This can be an issue for chorizo because it is so fatty. The pastor had some pineapple in it so it added a nice sweetness to the meat. The steak was a little drier than I hoped. Overall good tacos though but nothing mind blowing here.

Axelrad, went there just to try them!!! As promised over the phone, the food was really good!!! Make sure to load up on salsa... My only issue was the weird cut on the quesadillas!?! Which really isnt an issue... Actually if you trategize and are sharing just take the bigger/smaller pieces... Al Pastor was reallly good but the fajita is almost worth a life!

Drew J.

Yelp
Stumbled on them at Axelrad and they were so good I went back for a second helping... I got the al pastor street tacos (onions& cilantro on corn tortillas) and 2 of the steak and chicken remix tacos (comes with cheese and grilled veggies)....SO GOOD. Flavorful, packed full of toppings and pretty quick for a taco truck. Friendly guys on the truck as well. Highly recommend finding where they are stationed and trying their tacos. Incredible value and DELICIOUS. Don't know how people snapped pics of their food. I gobbled them up too quickly to even think about taking a picture.

Boombox taco popped up at Axelrad and I was hooked! The pastor street tacos and steak street tacos were to die for! They definitely pack in a lot of meat - you get your money's worth! 3 tacos for $8 is a great deal! Definitely didn't have to wait long for the tacos and they're hot when you get them! The sauces are yummy too my fave is the green one :)

Just saw what this business did for their community on Inside Edition! Just amazing. That is the commitment of a local business. Thank you for your act of kindness and generosity.

Honestly not that great. The meat was over seasoned. I did not even finish my food or my quesadilla since it was too over seasoned. Maybe i went and got a bad order but i was really looking forward to eating their famous tacos.

Boombox tacos is the spot!!! I can't get enough of these tacos. I always follow them anywhere they go. My favorite is the pastor taco!!! Nice people and I support them fully!

Best god damn tacos and best god damn vibe. Absolutely love this place and would 10/10 recommend.

So happy I found Boombox Taco! I have been stalking them on Facebook and Yelp for awhile now but haven't been able to track them down. Finally I did what a girl in need of vegan chorizo tacos does.....I called them. Turns out they don't stay in specific spots but travel to where the crowds usually are. The only thing I know is that they're at Axelrad on Tuesdays and Arlo's Ballroom on Saturday nights. My fiance and I came for the vegan chorizo tacos and were not disappointed. They don't do the generic Soyrizo grilled and stuffed into a tortilla thing which is really nice. They go a step beyond and give the chorizo their own flavor. If you're not a fan of cinnamon then you probably won't like their chorizo. Just means there is more for me! :)

Meet an adorable little Mexican man named Alejandro that served us. I ordered dos tacos in the parking lot of barabella it was 80's sat night & i had a couple of too many drinks & i needed to sober up. To my conclusion for someone that knows tacos Alejandro cooked the meat to perfection & was not shy on the pastor meat. Will be on the look out for my next visit & thanks Alejandro for your great conversation & calling me guapa! lol

I placed a large order ahead of time for a party, and Boombox Taco was great! Not only were the tacos 100% delicious and a huge hit at my party, the order was prepared ahead of time and ready for me. It was presented in a catering dish, so clearly he thought ahead. The salsas, limes, onions and cilantro were presented perfectly. The service and professionalism from Boombox Taco exceeded some of what I've experienced at reservation-only restaurants... and the tacos are so good.

*Disclaimer: this review is strictly for the unprofessional customer service of boombox taco, as I didn't even get the opportunity to try the food. Was really looking forward to liking this place. Booked BoomBox Taco for my organization's event. Before they would confirm, they wanted to make sure they were going to be the only food truck, so they would make a profit. Because I wanted to be fair- I agreed, and so I didn't book anyone else. Then the day of the event, I confirmed with them several times. Two hours After they were supposed to arrive- I get a text saying their truck broke down and they can't make it. Didn't have the courtesy to give me a phone call. When I asked if they knew of any other food truck company that might be able to come to the event on short notice- they didn't even have the professionalism to respond to my text or answer my call. Was stuck with no food truck company for an event with 100+ people. Saw the Yelp reviews, so I figured this place might be worth a try. But definitely won't be working with them in the future. If they cut corners in customer service, don't want to imagine the food quality. Disappointed.

Tacos were dank. Tried the vegan chorizo, chicken taco & steak taco. All 5 's. Their salsa verde is also awesome in my book.

Hands down one of my favorite taco trucks in Houston! I grew up eating street tacos and nothing compared to the taco trucks back home in Oakland. But eating the tacos here, it reminded me of home. I think I fell out of my chair after the first bite! My absolute favorite is the steak tacos with onions and cilantro. You can get 3 for $7 but i normally get five to satisfy my craving. Alex's green sauce that he makes goes perfectly on top followed by a squeeze of lime. The pastor is also another great menu item along with the vegan chorizo. I know for the carnivores, vegan chorizo sounds funny but my husband swears by it. He's not a vegetarian, so that has to say something! Now if only I can get him to add micheladas and elote to the menu, I'd be set lol.

I got to try them last night when I attended the Insomniac Lisa Frank Art Exhibit. $12.99 for two tacos and a quesadilla? I wouldn't have complained if the portion of meat we got wasn't less than adequate. I don't know what happened, if we ordered when they were running low.

We didn't think we'd find a traditional taco truck that was as delicious as we wanted it to be for our wedding, but we were so wrong. Boombox is everything you look for in Mexican food, and more. Alex took the best care of us, from start to finish. He helped us construct a menu that made sense for our wedding and made me feel completely calm about the food, leading up to the day (a very important thing for a bride handling all the planning). He even offered to let me hide from the multitudes in his truck if my family got too intense jajaja. He's professional and just an awesome human. I'm so happy they were part of our celebration and can't wait to find them across Houston, since we really didn't get to eat enough that day! Book them. You will be eternally glad you did. Gracias gracias gracias!!!

Great Tacos! The owner is super cool and seems to have a passion for cooking. We tried them at Axelrad on a tuesday and asked him to improvise and give us something different. We have probably tried everything on the menu by now and I think they are the best tacos in the loop, hands down. I used to drive to 290 and Huffmeister for my favourite taco truck, Taqueria Ruby but now I can find better tacos within the loop! Must Try.

Maaaaan, this is a hidden gem!! Considering I was taken against my will and forced to go to Barbarella this was the only reason I found out about this place. The first time, I completely avoided going because the line was extremely long. The second time we were all hungry so we decided to wait.... that's probably the only line I don't mind waiting in for food. The tacos are so bomb!! Full of flavor and extremely juicy! $4 is expensive for a taco but these are so worth it. I hate that they open so late in the night but totally worth it!!

Jordyn T.

Yelp
This food truck was amazing! The prices are wonderul-- I paid $6 for two tacos and a drink. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of vegetarian and vegan options. The vegan chorizo is delicious! Furthermore, the employees were kind and quick to get my order out. I would definitely come again and recommend Boombox Taco to friends.

David C.

Yelp
Omg. Where to begin? First of all, mi amigo that was working the orders and the grill is from Mexico like myself. But that's not why you rate a place 5 stars. No... He was friendly and quick to serve my food. You can get an order of 3 tacos "street style" for $7 which is a good deal. I got the pastor and the steak. The pastor is to die for and the steak nearly made me faint. The green salsa is amazing. Straight up, if you miss the tacos de la Calle or just like any real tacos, this is the place to go.

Emily S.

Yelp
This place is AMAZING for vegetarian options, and for ANYONE that wants amazing food after a great night. The vegan chorizo quesadilla is something of my DREAMS. It's so reasonably priced, and the people are so welcoming and friendly. 10000% would recommend anytime. They really make you feel like part of the family, especially if you've ordered on more than on one occasion. 10/10.

The best tacos I've had in a long time. Got a quesadilla and pastor & beef tacos that were to die for. If they're in your area please go!!

Ate here last night outside a concert venue and quite enjoyed it! I had a steak quesadilla, while my girlfriend had a chicken quesadilla. The prices were reasonable ($5 each for our quesadillas, although we also tipped 20%), and the person who served us was nice.

I'm real picky , on the kind of meat on my tacos. Alot of people place alot of distractions on tacos to disguise the taste of the meat but . Boombox tacos are straight to the point...especially the pastor ... meat and tortilla ...... love !!!!!

Henna S.

Best taco place I discovered while hanging out at Axelrad. The guys inside are so nice! I got the steak and chicken street tacos then went back bc they were that good and got the pastor street taco. I don't know which one I like best, they were all equally delicious! I'll make it a mission to go every Tuesday!
