Taqueria Del Sol

Great place for authentic Mexican food. You know it's good because there is always a wait but they get the line down quick. There is also a bakery in the restaurant that you can browse around while you wait. I got the big tex burrito and it was great. The salsa that comes with the chips is so delicious, we had to buy a container to take home too. The Hercules juice was so, so good and a definite must try. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We loved the gorditas too. Whatever cheese they put on them is delicious and passes the cheese pull test. Service was amazing. All of the staff were super friendly and attentive. Our food came out very quickly too. Parking is pretty easy since they have a large parking lot behind the restaurant.

I've been chowing down at this spot since I was in their booster seats. Now as an adult I admire their consistency. The salsa and chips are the best, but my go to is their gorditas, extra meat extra cheese for me. With an agua fresca you can never go wrong. This is a Houston staple and powerhouse. Parking is vast and you'll need it as it can get pretty packed at peak hours.

A friend who grew up in the area said this is a mandatory stop when landing at Houston Hobby Airport. He was right. The burrito and horchata were both delicious. The place was packed but the staff was keeping up and kept it all friendly and efficient.

Been coming here for years and it’s definitely a comfort food spot when you want a fast Mexican meal. The chips and salsa are a great starter. Flauta plate with shredded beef is delicious - crispy tortilla and juicy, seasoned beef. Also recommend the quesadilla plate for people that are just trying out this place for the first time. Most dishes come with rice, refried beans, and a side salad that balances the meal pretty well. Ask for the pickled veggies with your meal or their creamy salsas. Must try spot! Plus, there’s a bakery at the front of the restaurant to take some baked goods home! Tres leches cake is yummy!

Earlier this week we were on this side of town so we had to visit Del Sol! ❤️ Great spot! If you’ve never been…you’re missing out! Food is always on point! Service is fast and sweet. Staff is also on point! The vibe is awesome! After you eat in the restaurant, you have to visit the bakery next door. 😉 Be back soon!

A hidden gem. Great Mexican food and service. Loved their chips and salad.

Wife and I stopped here on our way to the airport. We had our luggage and the host took it for us to store while we ate. When we sat to eat the server showed up quickly to give us chips and salsa which was delicious. We were shocked how quickly the food came out, and the portions were not only huge but extremely delicious. Atmosphere was electric, everyone was beyond nice, and there's even a bakery attached. Can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the area you HAVE to stop here

Food was amazing and the service was even better 10/10🤩🤩🤩 it was packed when we arrived and even so we only waited 15 minutes to get seated. Everyone working was hustling and working in harmony to make sure customers were taken care of. Also the prices were awesome. Definitely recommend!

Try to hit this place after/before any trip to Hobby Airport. An all-time favorite that never disappoints. I've been loyal for 20yrs. Food is quick, tasty & completely affordable.

The #1 excellent plate! Service was very good. Ambience was awesome, cops and good people everywhere.

My family and Taqueria Del Sol go waaaay back. TDS catered my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary 30+ years ago, one of my sister's quince, and we pop in from time to time when in the area. It's been a while, so after a visit to the Houston Botanic Garden with mi madre, we swung by TDS for some eats. I got the Del Sol Bowl complete with chicken fajita and seasoned veggies over lettuce. The veggies were great! The portion was hefty. The chicken was just overcooked and very, very dry. My mom ordered the chile relleno that didn't have much batter. It was more of a chile covered in soggy batter that was falling off. Major disappointment. Service was prompt, the salsas were hot, and the agua de jamaica was good. I'll go back but only to revisit the breakfast tacos.

Food was tasty and delicious, portions were great But like some of other Yelpers mentioned, customer service is thumbs down Be sure to place an order in-person vs telephone so it doesn't get misunderstood (I said burrito, they were taco, quantity was almost misunderstood) It's also super crowded + popular so you may be waiting a bit for an in-person order

It's just the best. The service is excellent. The place is always packed with a crowd of families, friend groups, etc. who are very open and welcoming non-Mexicans like myself. My waitresses are always super friendly and helpful. I have dietary restrictions and the staff handles them well. Vegetarians: the nopales (cactus) tacos & the poblano and cheese tacos bring me to tears when I've been away from Houston too long and finally get to be around quality Mexican food. The horchata is simple and tasty. The food is cheap, the chips are fresh (and free), the salsa is spicey (and free), and *chef's kiss*. The atmosphere: the place is always busy & lively. The murals and general vibes showcase both indigenous and newer aspects of Mexican culture with a light blend of Houston culture. There's a panderia (bakery) attached to this place and the restaurant itself also sells lucas (tamarind candy) and other classic packaged snacks if you end up wanting a lil something for the drive home.

One of the more popular mexican food establishment in Houston. After seeing all the good reviews, i decided to try this place out with my friend. When I came around 1 pm ish, it was not that busy. The ambience and vibe were pretty nice, nice seatings too. On to the food, I ordered 1 Al pastor taco and 1 Chicha verde Taco, and 1 Asada Carne Burrito. OMG the burrito was really huge! I think its enough to share for 2 people... the taste was good too but i felt like the Tacos meat were a bit dry, maybe cooked for a lil bit too long, but overall pretty good. Server was attentive and nice. Price was affordable. Overall, worth it and you should go try this place... Food 7/10 Place 7.5/10 Service 8/10 Price 8/10

SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE, not one not two, but 4 different staff checked on my party of Six as we were patronizing the restaurant. The salasa has some kick to it and the chips are nice and warm when they arrive at your table. The drinks are huge, luckily it's not a lot of dead time in between getting drinks, ordering, and kitchen to plate on the table. There is additional parking in the back, if you are driving by and think it's only a small piece of parking you will miss out on this gem, you can't miss the gigantic yellow building full of tasty goodness.

One of, if not the, best Mexican restaurant in Houston! From the moment I sat down, we were given quite possibly the best salsa I've ever had. It was full of flavor, definitely house-made, and just the right amount of spice! The restaurant itself is small, but decorated nicely and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere with very friendly staff. I'm always on the look out for great horchata, and this place had some great horchata! I can always tell if it's house-made or from a store bought mix, and this horchata is definitely house-made and delicious! I ordered the enchiladas dinner and my partner ordered the quesadillas. Both of which were very good! Enchiladas came with a great enchilada sauce and a delicious cheese covering the top, with some great rice and beans on the side. My partner's quesadilla was also very good, made with house-made tortillas and delicious chicken. If you find yourself in Houston and on the look out for a Mexican restaurant, you have to come here! The restaurant is attached to a bakery, which smelled absolutely divine, but we ended up forgetting to try it, so I can't comment on how good it is. But if the restaurant is a reflection of the bakery, I'd imagine it is amazing!

Came here for dinner with a friend. Before coming I'd searched yelp and decided I would try the gorditas tampiqueñas but I also ordered the chicken flautas so I could taste one more thing. Both were good-I needed a to-go box and each meal reheated and tasted good days later. Servers were really nice and expedient. The place was busy but it didn't feel too noisy or crowded-definitely a place to come and catch up and relax.

This is a small family-owned authentic Mexican restaurant near Houston Hobby Airport. The service by Fernando was excellent and the food was good. Having lived in both Harris and Fort Bend counties for many years, this is one place that feels like home! I had the enchiladas; picadillo, shredded beef, and shredded chicken. The platters come with rice and refried beans with your choice of red or green salsa. The others had similar dishes with flautas and tacos. It was so nice to get off the plane hungry and head right over to eat comfort food. While there's room for improvement on the seasoning, I recommend them.

One of the best Mexican places I've ever ate at. Their enchiladas absolutely delicious and their beans and rice one of the best I've ever eaten! I can see now why it's so packed! The waiter was very nice and cool and badass! The ambience was very nice, the art on the wall, the art on the table, the lights, and the music! Definitely go there!

Never disappointed coming to Taqueria Del Sol. From the amazing salsas to the pan dulces next door. The service is quick and to the point while being friendly. The ambiance is warm and homey.

This is my first time back in years and it's still the same great place where you are taken care of. Food is still great and the pineapple drink is refreshing. Staff is very attentive. Service is quick and it stays busy here. The ambiance is casual and it's somewhat loud. There is plenty of parking here as well. We had fajita, chicharrón and barbacoa tacos. All were very good and filled just right but they are pricier than others. The Gordita was thin but it had meat and cheese. These too were higher than other places especially if you order fajita meat. The only downside was that prices on the menu did not match what we were charged as you can see on my receipt. They could have just said prices had gone up from their menu posted. This is the only reason I only gave 4 stars.

Nice authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. When you walk in the smell of all their sweet freshly baked goodies welcome you on arrival - I wanted to try them all!:D But I came with discipline and ordered the baracho beans and two breakfast tacos made the way you like it. I also appreciated that they offered freshly squeezed OJ too, in which i had to - it cold & flu season. I must say everything was a delight. Looks like a popular spot with the locals as the flow was pretty steady, but not crowded. My meal was good and hit the spot. Surprisingly in this case I liked the salsa served with the tortilla chips more than the sauce served with the tacos, I almost wish I took some to go - maybe next time. But I was in & out in no time. I'd definitely come back when in the area.

Food is pretty reliable, great chips and salsa. Prices have gone up (like they have everywhere else) but the food is quality. The flour tortillas have never been great and I never order them. They're dry, thick and always seem reheated. Other than that, the food is great. I've had almost everything on the menu and I'm never disappointed. The bakery next door is also worth a stop. They have great concha's and pan bolillo. Worth a visit if you're hungry :)

The customer service needs to be trained again because obviously they weren't trained well enough. The waiter rudely mocked my friend for not being able to pronounce a word to the waiters liking. Now we believe in nicely correcting someone, but mocking someone is a big no. They need to fix that customer service.

Awesome small , family owned TexMex joint, and a Bakery to boot! The Cheese Enchiladas are amazing, as is the Flameado! The tortillas are fresh and hot when served.

I dont understand the good reviews on Yelp or Google. The food was somewhere between terrible and mediocre. Staff was friendly.

Love Taqueria Del Sol! The Gorditas are delicious and the meat options are great! Service is always fast even though there is a line to wait it goes by quickly ! They also do pick up which is great if you just want food to go and not go inside! Place is pretty small and not very spacious. Overall I love coming here their options are always great!

This place catered our work luncheon so I can only comment on the catered food, and the pan dulce they brought for the supervisors. We had beef and chicken fajitas, with onions and peppers. beans and rice, tortillas and extras like pico, guacamole and lettuce. They also served chips and salsa but since I was carrying my plate to my office, I only got chips as my hands were full and didn't have a way to carry the salsa. Look, it's a big warehouse and it was too far to go back ok? The chicken and beef was really good. Very moist and not super fatty or chewy. They only gave you two tiny tortillas which were a little dried out, so I was disappointed in that. They were super giving Roth the rice but stingy with the refried beans which was kinda a bummer. All in all it was good, and it was free, so I guess I shouldn't complain but it didn't make we want to run out and eat there. Although the pan dulce was delicious so I would go to their bakery for that in a heartbeat! Fresh and delicious and the best part of the meal although my my doctor would hate to hear me say that. If they serve it again I'm asking for more beans and will definitely try the salsa!

I've been eating here for over 15 years it's excellent the riblets with the rice and beans is good also the cheese fajita quesadillas . And aqua Fresquez. Y pan dulce one of the best in Houston.

Stopped by for lunch to eat some gorditas and those are the best I've ever had. So delicious I'm getting hungry all over again just thinking about them . Definitely recommend this. Restaurant was clean and the staff was very nice. Go give them a shot you won't be disappointed.

Randomly passed this on the way home from Galveston, we pulled in to switch so my husband could drive & decided to grab a taco for the road. Best decision ever. Tacos are delicious and authentic & desserts are amazing! Will be coming back.

This is the place to go to for authentic Mexican tacos. They serve hot nachos with salsa and they also have Mexican beverages. I usually only order the tacos a la carte. On the weekends they also have menudo (pig intestine soup) with chick peas. Service is great, they bring your food out pretty quick. They even have an old school record player. After you're done eating you can even step over to the bakery that's connected to it. It has the atmosphere like if you were in Mexico. It's not too pricey and the staff are very nice.

The food is good and the sweet bread smells great but their floor tortillas shrunk considerably. Not amused.

A family-run institution that has sat in the same spot for over 30 years, this taqueria is beloved in the community and by many of my Mexican-American friends. I've passed that striking yellow, red, and green façade dozens of times on my way back from Hobby airport, and each time I make a mental note to stop by one day for some authentic Mexican food. Finally got a chance a couple weeks ago. Granted it was a busy lunch hour on a Friday so maybe the staff were tied up, but it didn't feel very welcoming as we ordered at the counter or waited for 15-20 mins for four tacos and some drinks. The dozens of T-shirts for sale on the wall behind the register also gave the place an almost commercial feel. We checked out the attached bakery to pass time and it was likely a wonderland of delicious, home-made treats. For sure coming back for some authentic pastries in the near future. But the food from the kitchen, which we ate hot on a bench right outside, was just so-so. The tacos came simply dressed with onions and cilantro in small doubled up corn tortillas. The meat in my barbacoa taco had a wonderful fatty texture but was rather bland in flavor. The Al Pastor was under-salted and I couldn't detect any tartness or sweetness from pineapple juice. The little cups of salsa weren't spicy and didn't add too much. My Horchata was tasty though, very sweet and cinnamon-y almost like liquid vanilla ice cream. I wanted to like Taqueria del Sol and so hoped it would light my taste buds on fire like the life-changing street tacos I had in Mexico City, but I left that pock-marked lot a disappointed man.

Authentic Mexican food have been going there since I was a teenager service and food is outstanding. They have a bakery on site. Never had anything bad always consistent and friendly service.

Great neighborhood joint thats been around for decades! Best burritos in southeast Houston!

The food here has been amazing for the past 2 decades and has never disappointed me. Service is always outstanding, and coming back to this neighborhood joint time and time again always makes me feel back at home.

This taqueria stands out as the absolute best choice. With each bite, you can taste the authenticity and freshness of their Mexican dishes, crafted with care and tradition passed down through generations. The inviting atmosphere only adds to the experience, making it a place where every visit feels like coming home to a delicious family feast.

Food is not as it used to be. Chicken burrito tasted bland like it had no seasoning. They used to make it so well. Very disappointed they must've changed cooks or recipes. Service was nice and so is the ambiance. Seems to be always packed but still able to be seated quickly.

Taqueria del sol has been around since I was a child. I've been here so many times and continue to come here. The food is always amazing and authentic, the service is great, the ambiance of this restaurant is amazingly great. This is literally a landmark in Houston with amazing Mexican food. If you are in the area, I recommend you visit Taqueria del sol.

The food was great, and the waitress was a sweetheart. I would recommend this place to anybody that likes Tex-Mex food. You won't go wrong.

Great food and a great atmosphere!. They have a great taco Tuesday as well, we really enjoyed going here. The service is always really good and the food is always on point.

Very good and authentic Mexican food. Great service, love the online pickup option. Friendly staff and clean environment. Food is delicious and very good portions .

Worst tacos ever. I took one bite and went to get a refund. I tasted the meat by itself and it was terrible like no seasoning terrible. I ordered my tacos simple but a certain way and the order was wrong. They didn't add cilantro to the tacos (gives it the flavor) they also didn't add limes to the bag along with the sauce. Not to mention how overpriced they are for no reason. The flour tortillas were crunchy like not toasted as they should've been. I only went to this place because I pass by it daily and it's always packed so I " assumed " it was good. My fault for that, I even got a cookie from the bakery and it was terrible like no taste to the cookie. It was well cooked and fluffy but no flavor. I will stick to taco trucks because this place isn't it.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon at around 11:30am. For a group of 8, we waited about 45 minutes. It seemed like the smaller groups were being seated a lot faster though. I got the Big Mex burrito with carne asada. I didn't think the flavors were that great to justify waiting 45 minutes to be seated and another 20-30 minutes for the food. The complimentary chips and salsa were okay (pro - the chips come out warm!). Service was pretty good and fast. There's also lots of parking in the back if the front is full.

Everything about this place is amazing. Immediate and great service, the food is authentic and so delicious! Can't wait to come back here!

Been coming here for a few years now, I usually get the caldo de rez, today the caldo was not good at all. It tasted like hot salty water. Had to add two limes to make it better.

Food was okay, everything was an up charge... even for sour cream. The people don't know english and if you order a kids meal get ready for an up charge because it OBVIOUS because your elderly and they don't tell you they just charge you.

I have grown up eating here, it was always really good. I went tonight from Pearland and I was so very disappointed. The water tasted horrible, order a can drink! Ordered quesadillas, everything is extra, you pay for sour cream, the quesadillas plate doesn't come with lettuce or tomatoes. The refried beans, no flavor at all. The rice is good! The service was subpar to say the least! Unfortunately the food just didn't have flavor, we won't be back!!

This was our final morning in Houston and wouldn't you know it, the sun came out after a weekend of rain and flooding. Oh well! It also happened to be Mother's Day so we sort of expected a wait. Fortunately, it was only 15-20 minutes. I have to say, this was one of our most pleasant dining experiences in Houston. Our server was attentive and nice. We never went without anything and he checked in on us regularly. Coffees and waters were refilled constantly. Food was great overall. Hubby and I shared their menudo and it was one of the better versions I've had. I went "light" and ordered a breakfast taco of potatoes and eggs and an al pastor gordita. I killed the taco in record time with a little bit of their house salsa and some hot sauce (valentina). The gordita was good but the al pastor wasn't my favorite. I didn't end up finishing it all but I still ate a pretty good chunk of it. The only other thing I tried was mom's breakfast potato stew which she avoided because she hilariously thought it was an apple sauce (eww). By the time I clued her in on what it was, she was already full. She did lvoe her steak and ate most of her beans, too. All in all a nice meal that fortified us for the remainder of the morning. Don't forget to check out their bakery, too! Lots of good stuff.

Highly recommended. Best Mexican food in Houston. We stop by a frequently as possible. Recently ordered 60 tacos for a birthday party. They were incredible. Should have ordered 100. I called the order in 30 minutes before I picked up. I bet o could have called 15 minutes before. They are so prompt. There can be a wait if you are eating there, but it is minimal. Staff is great. Food is great. Price is very reasonable.

This place is right down the street from my house. We've experienced both inside dining and drive-through. If you are craving some awesome caldos, this has got to be the best in the whole Pasadena area. Every single soup tastes amazing, and they have them all. Caldo de Res Caldo de Polo Caldo de Morisco Caldo de Pascal I think that covers everything. Their Mexican Rangers w/ fries were good as well. The only thing I can complain about is my burger was to be NO lettuce, and they put lettuce. That simple mistake isn't going to make us go elsewhere. I am sure that is just a one-time mistake. Go try them out. I recommend turning on to Miami and taking the back entrance. The front entrance is a bit chaotic.

It has the best food in the world. They always make my order right. I like going there because I feel so welcomed.

This was a quick stop for my friend and Me enroute to the Hobby Airport to catch our flight home. He's vegan.. I'm mostly meatless.. we were both able to get meals to satisfy our needs. He had a fried burrito which he thoroughly enjoyed. And I had the taco salad with avocado instead of the regular meat(chicken or beef) with extra raw onions. When they say authentic Mexican.. it truly had the taste and atmosphere.. Busy and buzzing with many families doing dinner on a Sunday. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Our food came quickly and was hot& fresh. I would definitely come again on my next visit to Houston!

Food is good I go every morning for my bread is very good I love this place too. The service is the best.

This place was crowded and there was a long line waiting to be seated. As busy as they were we were seated in less than five minutes! The hostess and waitress were friendly and helpful. I ordered the machacado with eggs but I didn't get a chance to take a picture since I was hungry! Needless to say if you are looking for authentic Mexican food be sure to visit this restaurant.
