Taco Fuego — Restaurant in Houston

Overall a good experience. Long story short: get the birria tacos; skip the pupusas; get the consumé only if you really want it.

Came to Post on a whim with my gf and her best friend. We had a great time on a hot Texas summer day. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the roof and had a Modelo each. We were craving a cocktail de mariscos and finally settled on some food from here. We shared beef birria tacos, beef birria pupusas, and the consumé (soup to dip the tacos in). The tacos were amazing. Nice and crispy with great flavoring. I think the tortilla itself was a little fried so that's more non traditional but I loved it.

The pupusas were okay. It's not really a Mexican dish so i think Fuego was going for a Mexican fusion but it lands a little flat. The outer shell was too grainy (similar to how I would describe a dry falafel) which was kinda weird for a Pupusa. They usually are supposed to be more silky like a tamal. I think maybe the Mexican inspiration pushed it more towards a gordita but it was just overall okay. The consumé was good, but $2.50 for a cup size which is usually part of the deal for these tacos.

Will definitely try it again another day, but will likely just stick to the tacos and mix and match food from...

We saw a long line of people, so we decided to give it a try. One of the guys that took our order had an attitude. It was almost like we were taking up his time. We didn’t mind the wait as there was a lot of people but when we checked on our order, my husband’s food was just sitting there under the light. The guy who took our order had left it there as the other guy who was taking orders got furious at him. The other guy is that my food would be out soon. He saved the customer service experience because he seemed concerned. He also made sure to get our attention when my food was ready! The food was absolutely delicious. As you can see, I took a bit before taking a picture. I didn’t care for how drenched in sauce the tacos were but it was delicious regardless. The quesabirria tacos were to die for!! If you don’t get anything else, get this. It was crunchy and very flavorful. The consommé was so good I dipped my tacos in them as well. We even saved the rest of it for tacos I...

I expected more from this place, but it was WAY below my expectations. The front server didn’t properly greet us when we came to order, and looked like he didn’t even care about taking our orders to begin with. He even bribed us a free drink if we gave this place a 5 star rating & review (which explains why there’s so many “great” reviews about this place). We ordered 2 Quesabirria De Ris ($4.25 each = $8.50 for 2) and a Consome Sauce ($2.50). To start off, the Quesabirria De Ris tasted amazing with the Consome Sauce! It was very flavorful, hence why I added an extra star to my review…however, I also believe that it’s not good enough to be $4.25 each. The sizing is so small for one to be so pricy. With the bad customer service, the small sizing, and the rip off price, I wouldn’t recommend this place. The food might be good, but pricing and service is not. Try another place that actually cares about...
