About Taqueria La Morenita (Food Truck)

Nestled along Broadway Street in Houston, this casual Mexican food truck draws a steady crowd, mostly locals and university students looking for authentic, affordable comfort food throughout the day and into the late night. The focus here is on straightforward, hearty offerings—think tacos, gorditas, sopes, and a variety of quesadillas—all made fresh and served quickly when the line isn’t too long.

Visitors appreciate the mix of traditional flavors without any fuss, often stopping by for a quick bite or a small plate that doesn’t break the bank. It’s the kind of spot where you might find yourself waiting patiently during busy times, but it’s worth it for the takeout experience. Many customers call ahead to skip the line, which can stretch especially during peak hours.

The vibe is laid-back and lively, with groups of friends, solo diners, and families mixing comfortably in this friendly, down-to-earth setting. Street parking is usually available nearby, along with a free parking lot, making it convenient even when the crowds build up. Whether you’re craving an affordable late-night snack or a casual lunch full of familiar Mexican flavors, this place offers a genuine local vibe that’s hard to find on the more commercial taco routes.

I had the best experience with my Gordita order - it was not only delicious but also incredibly affordable. Kudos to the team for their outstanding work!

This is a Taco truck alongside of Broadway st. They usually always have a long waiting line to order food the wait can be up to a hr. But the food is delicious for it coming from a taco truck. I keep their number in my phone and call and order before showing up to pick up my order.

It's good and it's really cheap compared to 90% of Houston taco trucks. The beans are the best for me, they are so delicious. Each order comes with a side of beans, toppings, and grilled onions. Tacos are less than $2 a piece. You can't beat that.

This is a good taco truck I’ve been coming here for years. They get really busy so be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes for your food. It’ll be hot and so good

Man. All the negative reviews about the staff being rude are wrong. They may come off as short and abrupt but thats only when they are super busy. Which if you have common sense you would understand that the stress is not towards the customer. I’ve gone there when they are slow and busy and the service is great. The food is delicious. Los tacos los hacen bien ricos. Y hasta te dan un tazita de frijoles charros que saben buenisimos. I honestly prefer this taco truck over any restaurant. Nothing but great food and a sweet spot to hang out with the gang and eat some amazing food. Wait time may be long when they are BUSY. They are not in the back of the kitchen on their phones. You can see them working, if not, then you need to get yourself checked out. Also, to the one review that calls us Latinx. Callate, eres verguenza para los Latinos.
