If you weren’t actively looking for El Taconazo in Houston, Texas, there’s a good chance you would never find it – but allow this to be your sign to go seek it out. This unassuming food truck always has a long line, and after just one bite of the delicious, home-cooked Mexican food, you’ll have no problem understanding why people drive from all over to try the tacos, tortas, quesadillas, and other authentic dishes. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to get Mexican food in the Lone Star State.

El Taconazo is the definition of a hole in the wall. Tucked away next to a tire shop on Fulton Street in Houston, this unassuming relies primarily on word-of-mouth to attract customers - and based on the constant long lines, it's obvious that people are giving it stellar reviews.

No matter what day or time you stop by, you'll probably have to stand around for a while before placing your order - but don't let that deter you. The food is so good that waiting a few extra minutes seems more like a privilege than an inconvenience.
