Three Houston taco trucks.
One hungry adventure.
Trying to choose a taco truck in Houston? In this video, I visit Tacos Tierra Caliente, Tacos La Sultana, and Taconazo. This guide puts the three stops and their map links in one place, so you can watch the comparison and plan your own visit.

The three stops
The video is a comparison of three specific places, rather than a ranking of every taco truck in Houston. Watch through to the end for my pick, then use the locations below to decide which stop fits your day.

If you’re picking one place for lunch or dinner, start with the location that works for you and watch the video for a closer look at the food. If you’re making a taco outing of it, open all three map links and plan your route before leaving. The numbered list follows the stops in the video description; it is not a suggested driving route.
For your own taste test, consider trying the same style of taco at each stop. That can make it easier to compare what matters to you, whether it’s the tortilla, filling, salsa, or overall balance. Your favorite may be different from mine—that’s part of the fun.
Before you go
- Check each truck’s current opening hours and location.
- Confirm the current menu and prices directly; a video captures one visit.
- Ask the restaurant about ingredients if you have a food allergy or dietary requirement.
The addresses above are taken from my video description. Food trucks and restaurants can change their schedules or locations, so use the map links as a starting point and confirm before making the trip.
