Red Salsa Tacos & More — Restaurant in The Woodlands

It’s a small cafe with what it looks to be a steady stream of regulars. It’s not your typical Tex-Mex restaurant, so you won’t find cheese covering everything or chips and salsa to fill you up prior to your meal coming out. The staff is friendly. The restaurant is clean and has a nice touch of personality.

I had the house special conquistador as well as the al pastor taco. At first, I was underwhelmed with the quantity of food, but the amount of protein is more than enough for you to leave full if not stuffed.

The beef fajita was a bit dry if not chewy at times but not terrible. I did find the flavor lacking compared to other restaurants in the area, but it isn’t going to cause you to storm out the door. With a little polish, it could stand against the competition.

The rice was ever so slightly underdone. If was a little less salty, I would have finished it. Besides the salt, it was a good side to compliment the protein.

I do love the way the hotdogs were cooked. I just never seen them cooked that way. It definitely stood out on the plate. I can’t really tell the difference between hotdogs, so I can’t really compare it to the best hotdogs known to man. However, it did stand out since I never had hotdogs as part of a Tex-Mex dish before.

The charro beans looked great. There were a lot of ingredients in that dish. The dish was a bit bland compared to the number of items that went into it. It didn’t stop me from finishing it though.

The al pastor taco is definitely smaller than expected, but the taste was great. You definitely tasted a hint of pineapple. The flavors did well together. You definitely do not just want to order one taco though. You may leave hungry if so.

Overall, it’s not a bad place. Definitely some room for improvement, but not a bad...

I was looking for a decent place that served tacos to celebrate Taco Tuesday and to meet up with a business friend. Red Salsa Tacos and More popped up in my Yelp feed and so I ventured to suggest this hole-in-the-wall taco joint on The Woodlands southern border.

Sandwiched between a vape store and a doughnut shop in corner gas station strip shopping center, this joint doesn't disappoint.

I ordered the five taco plate with corn tortillas. The plate comes with a variety of meats. I choose carne asada, al pastor, barbacoa, and carnitas. (I got a double carne asada, for those who are counting.) My friend ordered the five taco platter too with carne asada only. He grabbed a coke from the refrigerator and pointed out that it was coca cola from Mexico with real cane sugar. (Coke with cane sugar is the best in my opinion.) I refrained from drinking so I could appreciate the flavor of the food more.

The place is a little sparse in its accommodations. They might be able to seat 20 people tops. So be forewarned. Don't take the whole office for tacos.

The tacos came out in about 10 minutes. The salsas, which vary in intensity are found on a table against the wall. I enjoyed the red and the habanero salsa. The former has a sweet kick, so consume at your own risk. :)

The flavor was rich and reminded me of eating tacos from a street stand in Mexico City. The tortillas were warmed properly. You can tell because they don't break with you fold them. They tasted like home with a slight earthy flavor from the masa.

This taco joint is one of the best in the area. I will come back over and over. Although this place might garner five stars from many I still see that there can be improvements made, and that is the only reason why I will hold off on the fifth star and give it a solid FOUR...

I love supporting small business but skip this place. We came for Sunday breakfast and should have known the food wouldn’t be great when we were the only ones there at 10:15am. I ordered the chilaquiles with red sauce, over medium eggs and carne Asada. The food was served hot but there was little to no flavor in the dish. The chips in chilaquiles should still have some crunch, these were soggy when served. Nothing was offered to help the dish. Not pico, not Cholula, no fresh salsa. No cilantro, avocado NOTHING. It was served with sour cream, which I normally love, but it made the food even more bland.

Atmosphere was average taqueria, restaurant looked clean. The teen taking the orders with a sign stating that tips were for his high school soccer team was not friendly or polite in any way. We were the only customers and he acted pretty put out by taking our order.

2 plates of food, no drinks, no chips and salsa, literally just 2 plates was $28. We both ordered the chilaquiles. Mine with red sauce, his with green. The green sauce was as underwhelming as the red.

Nothing was disgusting or inedible, but when I go out to eat I want delicious food and this just wasn’t it.

Skip this place and go to Julio’s on Sawdust. I wish I had. They have better prices, delicious food and you’ll always be served chips and salsa with your order!...
