Street tacos with overstuffed breakfast tacos and tender barbacoa
"Possibly one of the most popular taco trucks in the city, Tacos Tierra Caliente has been serving tacos in Montrose for over 20 years, primarily located within or near the renowned West Alabama Ice House, and occasionally with a new look. What stays the same, though, is its overstuffed breakfast tacos, tender barbacoa, and tacos filled with al pastor, lengua, chicken, and even chicharron — all of which are known to attract award-winning chefs, tattoo and graffiti artists, doctors, strippers, educators, musicians, media personalities, and everything in between. Pro tip: ask for avocado on your tacos de barbacoa. It’s a must." - Brianna Griff
"Tacos Tierra Caliente, also known as That Taco Truck Next To West Alabama Ice House, feeds everyone from icehouse patrons grabbing a cold beer to anyone who needs a taco or two after 10pm on the weekends. Between the seared corn tortillas, mountain of cilantro and onion, and spicy salsa verde, Tierra Caliente has built a reliable reputation as a solid Montrose taco truck, as well as the best (and closest) spot to grab a handheld snack between rounds of corn hole on West Alabama’s patio. Bring cash and choose between griddled fillings like fajita, pastor, barbacoa, and chicharron." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"There are more than a few destinations to get your taco fix in town, but Tacos Tierra Caliente, the taco truck permanently situated outside of West Alabama Ice House, ranks at the top of the list. Tortillas are piled high with your choice of meat — there is chicken, barbacoa, and lengua (beef tongue)." - Megha McSwain
"Though West Alabama Ice House is currently closed due to the coronavirus, Tacos Tierra Caliente, one of Houston’s most beloved food trucks, is still parked outside, serving up lengua, pastor and fajita-filled street tacos and cheesy quesadillas to go. Yelp users report just one change — instead of leaving the self-serve salsa bottles on the truck’s counter, they’ll now hand them to you in pre-proportioned cups." - Brittanie Shey
