La Calle Tacos

Food was not good at all. Ordered tostadas and shrimp ceviche. Tostadas had strange taste and texture was not enjoyable. Ceviche was way too sour - all ingredients didn’t taste very fresh. They have no refrigerated drinks (?!) I really don’t understand what others see in this place. Would not recommend

Super delicious food with great music and friendly staff! First, it is important to note that although there is accessible parking, there are no wheelchair friendly tables. The restroom is accessible, however. Everything I've tried has been delicious. My personal favorite is their elote!

I visited on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised to find minimal crowds, clean floors, and prompt service. The menu was clear, offering appealing options. Although the prices seemed a bit steep for what I ordered—queso birria, street tacos, and a drink—the overall experience, including the ease of ordering and the delicious food, makes me want to return.

This place is a vibe. There’s an all day lunch special for $11 that includes street corn, 5 street tacos and a refresca. Chefs kiss. The dipping sauce for the tacos is very spicy and I’m a spice girl. The margaritas are available on happy hour and they’re a great way to end your day but just get one. Customer service is great as well.

Tacos were good and at reasonable prices. The tortillas were tasty but I do not believe home made. The beans were very tasty and I would recommend the bean and cheese taco. The pastor had a good flavor but was not the flavor bomb that I was hoping for. I will give it another try at lunch some day.

Heard good things about this place and they were true. I love street tacos and it's hard to find a restaurant that keeps them authentic, this place does a great job. Love the selection of meats and the salsa bar is my favorite part. Will return when I'm in the area fur sure.

Great food. Good atmosphere. Staff is friendly and willing to answer questions. The daily specials are nice. Late dinner friendly...

Small cozy Mexican restaurant, took me back to my trip to Mexico city. The tacos were bomb. Tried one of each kind and a street corn. Definitely will be coming back to try the seafood ones.

First time coming here while spending the day in the area and after looking at their sign all day, we thought we had to try it. I guess this area is changing a lot and is part of the Heights and as such is catering to a more let's just say affluent clientele than it used to. So let's get that out of the way that their prices are a little steep and are in line with the Heights hipster pricing model vs. going to a mom and pop taco shop a few blocks north. The restaurant itself is very clean with cool décor and the staff is very friendly and patient explaining the menu. With the food, they use fresh ingredients where nothing is frozen or microwaved. A couple of us ordered the street tacos that are 5 small ones served on corn tortillas while the other had the Gringo tacos which come in 3 flour tortillas. I went with steak and one beef. Then you can go to the condiment table and put what you want on the tacos and they have everything you need from shredded lettuce to cilantro and salsa. All good and fresh stuff. Now on to a few things I wasn't a fan of. I felt that the beef was way too greasy and both the steak and the beef were too salty, but then I'm kind of watching what I eat and this was my cheat day so take this opinion with a grain of salt (Yeah I know...sorry). The cuts of the meat were nice and lean but I think they kind of overdid it with the seasoning and grease...sometimes less is more. Again, I'm not claiming to ben expert on Mexican cooking and honestly I have yet to meet two people who can agree on what's authentic or not on any culture's food, but that's just my opinion. The other guys loved theirs for what it's worth. The tacos also came with a cup of some other greasy / salty broth? I wasn't sure what that was and probably should have asked but apparently it's consumme. I did not care for that...seemed like heartburn in a cup to me but again, don't take my word for it. I think next time I'll just get the tacos and nothing else. Last, the whole drink situation is a little weird. I saw boxes and boxes of Mexican bottled Coke, Fanta, Jarritos, and other diabetes inducing stuff along with beer (they apparently have a very sweet happy hour) and by the register they have the big plastic jugs of aguas frescas that they pour with a ladle but I didn't see any non-sugary non-carbonated drinks liked just plain old iced tea. I know, iced tea isn't traditional but this IS Texas so it's weird that they wouldn't have it.

First time trying this place and I'm glad it was during taco Tuesday. Prices are a bit steep but the flavor was definitely there. 5 taco minimum so I had suadero, asada, pastor, birria, and carnitas. They have a little topping bar for dine in which has good salsas. They were a bit slow in taking payment and there is no a/c just a bunch of fans blowing. So not the best but also not too miserable. I wouldn't mind going back, just not on the top of my list.

I love this place and try to come most every Tuesday for those amazing Tacos. Man only $1.69. I usually have 5, but I was so hungry and had me 7.

I like this place! It's like an authentic Chipotle but better. They offer what taste like homade tortillas corn and flour. The meat is authenticly seasoned and cooked. The drink selection is awesome from horchata, jamiaca(hibiscus), and a fresh watermelon Fresca. The beans and rice are authentic, overall it's good.

Delicious. Been here several times and has yet to be a bust. Their tacos are to amazing. What I absolutely crave is their tortas. Smothered with refried beans not your typical can beans. Meat choices I choose often birria and suadero. It's a must try. Wednesdays half off tortas. Their aguas are fresh not powder based like some other places. Prices are a little more then your typical taco spot but come on folks the area is pricey and they have to cover cost. Worth the money. Service is great and quick.

Came to this establishment to enjoy their Tuesday special, but once I got here it was closed, no type of sign saying why they're closed early did not like it!

I visited on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised to find minimal crowds, clean floors, and prompt service. The menu was clear, offering appealing options. Although the prices seemed a bit steep for what I ordered--queso birria, street tacos, and a soda drink--the overall experience, including the ease of ordering and the delicious food, makes me want to return.

Oh I hate to do this but it must be done. Benefits of this location is they are open late and the interior is inviting and appears comfortable and clean. Aside from those, I find their food, especially their street tacos to be overpriced and overrated. I did a to-go order of carnitas street tacos last week; arrived for pick up, then headed home and unwrapped the packaging with anticipation. Needless to say, I was disappointed in how small the tacos were and how they were wrapped as the tortillas were folded over or falling apart in a heap of grease. For $15, this was a bigger rip off than signing up for the Amway pyramid scheme. Tacos tasted alright but I could not get over the value and the packaging of the product. My heart jumped for joy seeing this place was near me when it opened. Then it sank with despair after unwrapping my order. I'll be searching elsewhere for my taco tuesday fix or whenever I crave tacos. La Calle should be renamed to La Callous.

Great add to our GOOF community. Breakfast tacos are delicious and a great deal. Really like all the toppings. The aguas frescas are always fresh. The ladies there are very also very nice!! My wife goes regularly.

Tried out the La Calle combo the other day for lunch which came with 5 street tacos, Elote, Consome, and an Agua Fresca for $14.99. It was absolutely delicious!!! I had a Horchata for the drink and the Salsa Bar was great too!!! Love the Avocado Salaa there!!! Go check them out!!!

My food was great if I'm being honest, my friends wasn't as much though. When we walked in we told the worker it was our first time and to walk us through this. She didn't walk us through anything and when we asked for her to repeat things she would simply roll her eyes, not my fault they had the music blasting like it was a concert in such a tiny place. It was cute but small and bad service good food.

Rick was super welcoming and patient as my daughter decided on which fresh Fruit juice wanted. The street tacos were delicious. We shared the Asada and Birria Tacos. The small size of each was very authentic as well as perfect portion but also very tasty. The fruit juices were very fresh

I Love this place, good food, the ambience, plus you can earn points to receive discounts.

Man 2 stars isn't my norm, but the description is accurate. Dropped in for breakfast one day and grabbed a couple tacos. Set up is cool. Service was a little lack luster. Guy working seemed really confused. It was just me & a customer in front of me, so it wasn't busy. Not sure what was the deal with that. But anyhow, the location is easy to find. The late hours I'm sure are a big plus for the area if you don't want the standard fast food joints. It was clean and comfy inside. Music wasn't screaming through the speakers. As for my tacos, they weren't so great. Ordered chorizo & egg, and the other...I said birria & egg. Took a look & 1st bite and thought this is odd birria Took another bite and figured out why. It was pastor. I like pastor, but not with larger chunks of pineapple mixed with eggs. Tortillas weren't so great either. I will say their salsas were very tasty. Tried a few flavors & they were fresh, different spice levels and weren't watered down. I'll come back for this reason alone. IDK if I caught this place on an off day or what but wasn't too wowed like I thought I would based on what I'd been hearing. I'll give them another try when I'm in the area because I loooove tacos. Hopefully it'll be worth the price next go round. Yelp on my friends!

Great food and Imelda's service was amazing! Very patient and walked us through the menu.

wife and I were looking for tacos and ran across El Calle. WOW! We really enjoyed it. I'm a gringo and ordered the "Gringo Tacos" pastor. My Mexican wife ordered Queso-Burria. Salsas are fantastic. We will be back.

A local favorite super close to home. A great addition to the neighborhood. They gave my son a free drink which was sweet. Just wish they had some traditional breakfast tacos like potato and egg to appease my son, but the tacos we did have were delicious.

Overpriced tacos not worth the price. 3 flour tacos for $15, very tiny, could have easily made it at home. Didn't even come with any sides. Got 1 birria taco and 2 avocado tacos, the birria meat was flavorful, but very chewy. Avocado portion in the taco was very small. Got the $1 margarita for 5 oz.

My 5 takitos were beaming with flavor of birria and were tender. Nice folks again my meal was dexhorbantly expensive to me but I conceded the cost for the experience of great street cooking cuisine. Please go here yo experience the taste of this growing establishment. Prices and menu need structure and affordability to prosper possibly a daily special should be in order to attract more lunch crowds.

Best tacos & ceviche de camarón ever I will recommend this place the flavor of the meats is the best and customer service was amazing

Very surprised when recommended, but it was phenomenal. Food is wonderful with excellent late night tacos! Can't wait to see Teresa again!

Pretty good tacos and definitely good place for late night snack. We ordered street taco and tried almost all the meat flavors. Favorite one is carnitas! Have to try: horchata drink! It's probably the best I had and goes so good with the spicy salty tacos Hmmm, I'm not a big fan: the steet corn is a bit disappointing. Quite watery and really spicy. Maybe will try corn on a cob nxt time.

The tacos are neither brilliant nor horrid. It's been open for about a month so expecting they might have cocktails on the website. Counter service Basic menu I had the vegan option avocado taco. My friend had tacos and Birra which she enjoyed. This upscale taqueria. No surprises ample parking located in a strip centre in garden oaks anchored by Aladdin at the corner of 34th and Ellaq

Stopped in for a quick breakfast, got the special of two tacos and a coffee. Jeff suggested it which I appreciated since I didn't see it at first. Food was fresh and tasty, staff was friendly and helpful. I had some class work to do and the setting in the building was just right. Clean not too loud, and perfect temperature. Great breakfast spot worth checking out

Muchas gracias Josue, Santana y Pastora!!!!! Los tacos de pastor/asada están buenisimos! We ordered the tacos (5 each plate) of Asada & Pastor plus a Quesadilla with Asada. Very filling & delicious. The agua frescas are prefect for the hot summers, 10/10 recommend the lime with chia agua fresca. The space is clean & the staff is friendly from the moment you walk in. Service was great and fast.

So glad we stumbled upon this place!! You can't beat $1.65 street tacos on taco Tuesday. Everything is delicious, can't wait to go back!!!

Good tacos but nothing amazing to me. I actually think the portions were kind of small, which is rare for Mexican food. It was expensive for what you get. But overall the flavors were good and the service was excellent!

If you want authentic Mexican tacos, tortas, tostadas, street corn etc; you have to visit La Calle Tacos on Ella Blvd! I tried los tacos de fajita and their street corn in a cup and it was sooo delicious. The fajita was the juiciest and they have a self serve of condiments, which I poured this amazing spicy green salsa that went along well with the tacos! Their street corn has the same taste as the ones I've tried in Mexico, so definitely recommend. Amazing and fast staff at this location, Victor helped us the moment we arrived and we had our food in less than 10mins. Coming back again soon!

Worth the visit. I visited La Calle today and it was better than expected. It actually exceeded my expectations, let's start with the food I ordered the quesa barilla torta with beans, lettuce, and pico, and it will not disappoint. The sandwich had fresh bread, the meat was tender and the toppings where fresh. I could have split this with my lunch mate and been satisfied. I'm still full. We also ordered the guacamole with chips it was incredible and flavorful with fresh avocado and was super chunky and spicy the best part was the chips. They taste like Fritos Triangles. The atmosphere is very cool, modern and bright. Good place to sit down and enjoy your surroundings. Now let's get to the not so great, I was greeted by the manager who spoke English, however there was a language barrier with the restaurant workers and newness of the restaurant they're still getting their systems in order but I couldn't really reach the expanse of the menu without having to look at my phone. Pro tip. It's kinda pricey so I would look on the phone pick a day and a special you want (it wasn't advertised at the restaurant) and go with that. For example today was Torta day!

Went this morning for their $4.99 breakfast special and was very pleased! First off, where can you get ANY breakfast for $5 ?? I had 2 yummy egg/bean/avocado tacos that were made with super fresh Ingredients and the tortillas tasted homemade! I even enjoyed the coffee and I don't usually like restaurant coffee at all Jesse was very friendly and helpful, which is always a plus to start your day. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend you give them a try.

This place probably has some of the best tacos, salsa, and corn that I've ever had. I truly do think that they are unbeatable. Everybody that I've brought here have loved it and are repeated customers themselves. I did see that some of the reviews are extremely low because of the price point, but considering inflation and the location, their prices are reasonable. Honestly their food is so incredible that it really is worth the price!

Food is amazing! And the service is always great! One of my favorite places to get tacos. Imelda is the best.

Great service, thats all. Food tastes like it either was made up of all salt, or followed some healthy keto trendy diet recipe. If my own cooking turned out like this, it would go in the garbage or get some tweaking. I wish they can turn it around, this place really needs a good chef.

They intentionally tried to overcharge me. I heard them speaking in spanish, probably thinking I wouldn't understand, debating how to charge me. I ordered 25 tacos for my family. The cooks thought they should charge me for the 20 taco deal + another 5 tacos while the male cashier (I'm assuming manager) tried charging me for 5 orders of 5 tacos. This was a difference of about $20. The man seemed super slimy.

After leaving IKEA.. you know how those visits are, floors of stuff and a restaurant of meatballs. We decided to wait and did a search and found this place on the way home as a last resort to fill our bellies! I got to say first off it did not disappoint!! We got the Mexican street tacos avocado, ceviche, and pastor. Also with corn cup and ceviche. It's on me I should have asked but there was something green in my corn cup which I wasn't used too, but it was still good. The pastor has a good amount of pineapple which not a big fan of, but took it out and boom! Excellent!! Maybe next time we can bring the kids!

I reallllyyyyy wanted to like this place, but I just can't justify the prices. 3 taco plates, 2 beers & a soda you're looking at 70$ and the food is just okay. I'd consider coming back only for their specials. A torta for 18$ is outrageous, I mean c'mon lol

Jessi is the sweetest! He greeted us at the door. Informed us about the specials and gave a sample on one of the meats we never heard about. All questions I had were answered! I love La Calle - customer service is always 10/10 with the food also being 10/10.

Hungry for tacos one Sunday morning (admittedly most mornings), my husband and I happened upon La Calle on Ella at 34th. La Calle is now at the top of our short list of "go to" taco places in HTX. The birria is on point and the pastor is yummalicious! A must try for anyone in the Garden Oaks, Timber Grove and Heights area.

Never again! Definitely not coming back to this location. Placed my order online... got there & they were not even aware they had received an order. I had to wait 12 minutes for my food to be ready. I asked how much longer as I had to come back to work. She got mad. Mad! She gave me a nasty look and with a horrible attitude she said it's almost done! I have been to the ones downtown and have always enjoyed my visit but this location is the worst. The. Worst. Not coming back. Not recommending it. Not bringing anybody here.

They are so generous and gave me 6 tacos, it was delicious. Like the option of shrimp ceviche. Delicious and would highly recommend to others. I liked how they even gave a dipping birria sauce with it. That was a little too spicy for my likings.

2.5 stars. Taco Tuesday - $1.69 street tacos. They were just okay. Probably wouldn't return since I would rather try other spots. Regular priced menu seems quite expensive. Got 3 tacos, bf got 5. They're pretty small, so don't expect to get that full off of them. In order of preference: bf tried pastor, carnitas, & asada. I tried pastor, birria, & asada. Pastor- most flavorful, enjoyed the pineapple pieces Carnitas- bf's 2nd choice Birria- my 2nd choice Asada- not that flavorful and kind of dry. definitely wouldn't get this again.

Came here for the first time and got street tacos, soft flour tacos and guacamole. The street tacos are extremely tiny, I get it they are street tacos but they can certainly stand to be much larger. The soft tacos were a lot of food but still very pricey in the end. I'm not sure if the biriria is usually atomically hot but it was almost uneatable and I can take the heat. The salsa bar was good and had a good array of accoutrements. Our guacamole was half cucumber, not sure what the deal is with that. I'll come back to try it again some day in a few months but I'll find it hard to be a regular here.

La Calle Tacos has great, simple street tacos for very reasonable prices. Their corn tortillas and meat are delicious and everything is made to order. I recently went there with a big group and the service was very helpful.

Birria is good, it was a little salty but not that bad, what really disappointed me was their horchata I asked for one and they gave a 30 oz cup with less than 15 oz of horchata the rest was all ice I decided to buy another one and recycled my cup by the time I got my second one my cup was half of ice or more and the lady wanted to top it off with ice again I told her I didn't want more ice and she said she would get in trouble if she didn't fill it all the way up witch ice again. I was paying for 2 $5 horchatas with less than half of the cup I think you can do better on this

Not bad tacos, but not great either. They're they're trying to be authentic but it's too Americanized. Think of La Calle being the lovechild of Velvet Taco and random authentic taco truck down the street. This is a perfect place for the area's clientele but in regards to the cut-throat taco business in Houston, this is just OK.

Delicious! Fresh! Friendly & helpful staff! Open late! Can't wait for another visit!!!

Overpriced tacos. Super greasy- almost disgusting Just order from a real taco place I forgot to mention the employees have attitude .

One star off because there are no vegetarian beans. They only have chorizo beans. No black beans and not even refried beans. Another star off because they serve breakfast tacos with no bacon or sausage. So, it's just a regular taco with scrambled eggs.

I've lived in the area for over 20 years and finally had the opportunity to try out La Calle today. I WAS SO IMPRESSED! I wasn't familiar with the menu (and I must've looked confused as I read it over) because a friendly employee named Ricardo came to greet me and walk me through the menu and offered recommendations. I decided upon the street tacos and was pleased I could order a variety of meat options. They all were amazing!!! The corn tortillas were the icing on the cake! Everything was so flavorful and the customer service was nothing shy of perfection. Thanks for a great meal, La Calle! I'll be back for sure!
