La Calle Tacos

The carne asada and carnitas tacos are delicious! The desebrada tacos are a little too spicy for my taste. The green salsa is very good but spicy so be careful when adding! The corn I would not get again, for some reason I did not like them the taste was a little odd for me. The horchata was pretty descent, can’t tell if it’s natural or not. I will repeat these tacos are delicious and worth trying!

I visited Houston for almost a week, and the person I was with LOVES Tacos and wanted some for Taco Tuesday. We Googled and found this place in Downtown Houston, which had AMAZING REVIEWS. WE SEE WHY!!! The food here is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! So much so, that we had to run that back one more time before we left town (This is the only restaurant we visited twice while we were there, by the way). The first time we went, I got the Asada and birria street tacos, with some fixins. They tasted great, but be mindful that the birria broth was super spicy (the kind of spice that sneaks up on you), so make sure you can handle the spice if you order it. I didn't use it because they tasted fine without it. The REAL TREAT, however, was the CHICKEN. My friend got the Chicken tacos and let me taste one... and bay-bee when I say I was sad that I didn't choose the chicken first... I was dismayed! So when we went back on our last night in town, I got the chicken gringo Tacos, and they did not disappoint! The line was long the second time we came and it moved kinda slowly (but not too slowly), but that was because they are cooking everything FRESH. They are grilling chicken, chopping it, and then placing it on the line. We can SEE them toasting the tortillas before putting them on the plates, etc. Also, the workers were really friendly! In short... if you need a sign to go visit this taco joint, THIS IS IT!!! They were amazing, and the whole restaurant was real chill and laid back. I loved it.

Food is great but quite pricey in my opinion. $17 for an average size torta is just too much for me. Nonetheless everyone was friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating available and a cool looking place. Of course parking is tricky since it's downtown unless you pay or are able to find street parking.

Perfect option for after party tacos!!! 🌮 They are open until late night… delicious ingredients, good meats (birria and asada were the top choices for me) and condiments (just ask before for the sauces, some of them could result a bit spicy if you are not used to them). The street corn on the cup, simply outrageous, Next level flavor with the corn infused in Poblano pepper juice!! 🤤🌽 And, of course, a large selection of ice cold beers! 🍻😍 10/10 Place!! No doubt!!

La Calle is a DT HOU fave of mine. The street style tacos and drinks are always on point. I never even remember what I order bc I always scarf it down so fast! Don't miss their micheladas either!
