Taqueria El Pavo Real — Restaurant in Houston

Taqueria El Pavo Real is a sort of hidden gem on El Dorado Blvd. near Zabolio Dr. in the Clear Lake area. I ordered tacos to go and to my surprise upon arriving to pick up my order, there was only one table dining in the quite small dining room with a max seating of no more than 50 people. When I was able to eat my tacos, to my surprise they were better than most other places in the area. The meat was flavorful, tortillas cooked right, and the jalapeno sauce for the street tacos was made to be intentionally hot and flavorful, which is my favorite way to top my street tacos.

Along with my 4 tacos, I was given some complimentary charro beans that were packed full of flavor and the ingredients were rather crowd-pleasing, meaning I don't think anyone would pick out any of the ingredients in odder to enjoy it.

To my surprise, a small bag of tortilla chips was included as well, which was just the right amount to ensure fullness and satisfaction.

I am sure I will return for more...

So I was coming here when it used to be spring roll express 😭. Then another place smh,now this is the new place we have to try! I heard about it through the "grape vine" and since it's close to home and I love mexican food,why not🤷🏾‍♀️To start,the decor is nice,you get a very homely feeling inside. The guy who waited on our table was very kind and kept making sure we were good👍🏾. I ordered the birria tacos and my partner ordered the mixed fajita plate with some bacon wrapped shrimp. Also make sure to grab a cola BOTTLE because the taste is unique! Now off to the 2 cons..booths are way too tight, I'm chubby and had to move to a open table,I also saw people that were smaller than me move also so I wouldn't sit there if your looking for comfort. 2nd con is I wasn't too impressed with the refried beans,they tasted blan..I would have preferred black beans instead(cough cough lol). My tacos were very good and juicy😩. Will definitely come back and try their Asada! Posted photos...

We're staying at a hotel in Webster, and just randomly close a taco place for lunch. Boy, we made a great choice! The restaurant is in a run down strip mall, it is (kindly) modestly appointed, there's country music on the radio and the TV is playing a soccer game in Spanish. All signs pointed to a perfect taco experience, and it was. I had quesobirria with charro beans, my wife has tacos al pastor. The food was fabulous. The ice tea was fresh and worth a trip, even if you didn't want to eat, but you should eat. We're only here for a few days, but I think we're coming back to Tacos...
