    I was introduced to this roach coach this past weekend. Gotta say without a doubt this is one of the best mexican food places in town. the barbacoa and fajita were tender and succulent and the corn tortillas were perfection. I can't believe i've been in Houston this long and never heard of this place.

    ^ not hispanic???? :confused:

    Ask for the QUESADILLA De Fajita next time. The meat is cooked and grilled to perfection.

    It's a succulent party in your tongue of mixed Mexican Monterrey Mozzarella cheeses and Fajitas, all going up in your stomach... :eek: A+, would visit again.

    Been there, done that, sir. Also, don't expect to come and get your order quickly. It's been there for years and the lines to wait are much longer every time.

    Fulton? I'd rather not have to be strapped ordering tacos.

    And how can you say this place is great while calling it a "Roach Coach"?

    I don't understand why you'd be "strapped." What do you mean by this, to your seat belt? :confused:

    You have to step out and order in line, then the dude will call out your name. :cool:

    If you're not from the neighborhood, don't act like it. "Act like you've been there." People will tell and you'll be an easy prey. Just go there, get your tacos, and get out. If you're REALLY that scared, just take some Mexicans (like me) with you that will say "¿Qué onda, güey?" in our native accent to the cooks... ;)

    That looks really good. Though I have a hard time believing it is better than the almighty Taqueria Latino!!

    This is the best pleace I have ever eaten. So cheap. So good. Their red sauce is the single greatest thing created by man.

    He means it's in a rough area of town. I wouldn't go down to those parts unless I'm with at least a couple of my homies and strapped up.

    y'all take things too seriously, if you feel the need to be strapped just to get lunch in the middle of the day.

    Swoly, is the quesadilla the one advertised for 1.50 in the link?? How large is that?

    Ahh El Taconazo!! Been going there for like 17 years!! I played ball for Moody park and that was our after game eatery of choice.
    Not to mention all the times we hit it up after hours on our way home from a night out. And like SwoLy pointed out the quesadillas are awesome and also los frijoles rancheros.

    That's what she asked. :(

    I agree with you about the seriousness of lunch in the 'hood. Don't believe the hype, it's a sequel. As an equal, can I get this through to you?

    The one in the photo in macalu's OP link is the flagship TACO with two tortillas to hold all the fajitas with which it comes.

    The Quesadilla De Fajita is advertised in the other photo as 1.75 and it's the same size and ingredients as the Taco, but the fajita is drenched in the cheese.

    Both the Quesadilla and Taco use the same size tortillas of about 6" in diameter (that's what SHE WISHED!)... :cool:
