About Taqueria La Morenita (Food Truck)

Located along Broadway Street in Houston, this food truck is a go-to spot for straightforward, affordable Mexican fare that draws a steady crowd. The menu leans heavily into simple, comforting dishes like tacos made with chicharron, fajita, or pastor, along with quesadillas and gorditas that come at wallet-friendly prices. Many come here for quick bites throughout the day, whether breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even late at night.

The vibe is casual and lively, often bustling with college students, groups, and tourists who don’t mind waiting a bit for their food—lines can stretch during peak hours. The truck operates on a cash-only basis and doesn’t offer delivery or table service, so it’s best to be prepared for a relaxed, no-frills experience focused on the food itself. Free parking nearby adds to the convenience for those stopping by to grab a meal on the go.

Patrons value the authenticity and affordability here, especially enjoying items like beans served alongside tacos with sides of grilled onions and toppings. This spot is well suited for solo diners looking for comfort food without the fuss, as well as groups who appreciate casual, tasty options after a night out or between classes. It’s a reliable local choice for those seeking genuine Mexican flavors without the usual restaurant formality.

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.

Yunior Lucero From Google 5

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.
