A homey but cool fusion spot that slings tacos that are filling and creative. Similar concepts abound in Houston, but Liberty is cheaper than Velvet Taco and more interesting menu-wise than Torchy's in my opinion. The inside is clean with tile floors, brick facades, and themed décor with a vaguely patriotic bent. The restaurant is counter-service only and the stuff comes out quick.
There aren't an excessive number of options on the menu, which I respect. Paraphrasing Ron Swanson, it's better to whole-ass a few items than half-ass too many. My one major knock is that the flour tortillas here aren't great. They're rather thin and often get stuck to the foil if you do take-out, probably because they steam in the residual heat and begin to break apart. The filling, however, is usually strong. The Baja Shrimp, for example, boasts huge craggly-crusted shrimp that are succulent rather than chewy and are topped with fresh slaw and a tangy, creamy sauce. Excellent option that I highly recommend. The Thai Basil taco contains an absurd amount of sweet and chewy stir-fried chicken in a sweet and aromatic sauce. Definitely one of my go-to's. I usually supplement with a cheaper breakfast taco, most recently one with jalapeno sausage, egg, and cheese. Solid but obviously not as exciting as the others. It's not overly cheesy and the sausage is punchy without aggressive spice. Speaking of spice, I quite enjoy their orange habanero salsa, which has a lovely fruity heat to it.
Liberty Taco's offerings are affordable, filling, and flavorful. A good place to keep in mind for a quick casual meal.
