Taqueria El Mundo — Restaurant in Houma

It's like getting the street food or food truck experience but with air conditioning. So far I have only tried the tacos but I was very impressed at how delicious they were. The birria and steak ones were better than the chicken so I'll stick with those the next time. The chicken was somewhat dry despite the sauce and seasoning, but still has a great flavor. The chicken was actually better tasting in my little girls burrito than it was in the taco (probably because the tortilla seals in the juices). The salsas are really good too. They taste homemade and are super flavorful. The red one is fairly spicy and the green one is nice and mild. My wife got the shrimp bayou tacos which are new (as of writing). The fried shrimp are huge! She mentioned the tacos were ok, but the shrimp were really tasty. I tried a shrimp and definitely agree. Very well seasoned and fried. My little girl got a chicken burrito and some fries. The burrito was pretty good. But the fries were the star of her plate. They have what I think is an oregano seasoning on them and are pretty unique. She gobbled them up! There weren't many people in the restaurant when we went and I hope they get more business because I quite enjoyed the food. The young girls running the counter were cutting up and watching their phones, but were immediately professional when anybody walked in so I can't fault them for being bored. Absolutely going back to try more things. Also just a note that the aqua fresca drinks aren't part of a combo. And boy did they...

Heads up. This is not a traditional Mexican restaurant experience. Think more of a food truck experience that you get to sit inside and eat. You are not seated and then offered chips and dip. You go to the counter and order food as if you were ordering from a food truck. This does not dampening the experience at all. It is a much quicker way of dining, and the food is incredible. That freaking pizza birria is worth selling your beloved child over. Not that it was expensive by any means. It is sooooooo delicious. It is huge. It can easily feed three people. Four if one of you is on Ozempic. Five really if two of you are on Mounjaro. It was our favorite item. The quesadilla was huge and cheesy. The burrito was thicc and flavorful. They have an assortment of Jarritos. They also have bottled Starbucks Frappes. Perplexing, right? So highly recommend. Definitely get the...

I’ve been to this taqueria multiple times at this point, and my belly is always happy when I leave there. The food is absolutely top notch, and their customer service is the absolute best in Houma and Thibodaux. They’re always smiling and happy to help me when I can’t decide what I want.

My favorite thing is their steak torta. I’ve had many tortas over the years. I’ve even had them when I visited Mexico. Taqueria El Mundo has the best steak torta I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t even want roast beef poboys anymore, and I’m a Cajun. This is the most flavorful sandwich I’ve ever had. I’ve traveled out of the country and to 47 states out of 50 in my own country, and this is the best sandwich I’ve never had the pleasure of eating. Highly recommend. It takes up almost the entire to go container so you definitely get your...
