El Norteño

Ok... We are driving around this area, hungry and tired and I spotted this blue bus with a giant chicken painted on the side. OF COURSE WE HAVE TO STOP AND SEE. Wouldn't you?I am so glad we did. My husband and I ordered the whole roasted chicken dinner. Our meal was $11 and was a lot of food for that price. It came with corn tortillas, grilled jalapenos, grilled onions and salsita. The Salsa has a great kick to it and the chicken was so worth the 5 minute wait for it to be cooked for us. Talk about mouth watering and flavorful.... Don't discriminate because your meal is prepared in a cute blue bus. We are definitely going back for more and often. :)

Their tacos al carbon will make you want to slap your mama. Never a disappointment, they are always fresh and made to order. It's amazing how something so simple can have such an absolutely incredible flavor. The salsa verde... oh my, where do I begin? I always ask for 2 extra, knowing I will delightfully cry my way through each taco as my mouth burns for mercy. Yes, the language barrier can be difficult sometimes, but if you just learn how to order and know a few key words like "cebolla" (onion), you will be good to go. If you haven't tried 'em, go.... NOW!

Love the fajita tacos with the homemade sauce! It's amazing! I salivate every time I think about it.

Just had dinner from this van this evening after seeing the other reviews. The only misleading item in previous reviews is the price point - this is muy barato! It was $11 for a full dinner for two hungry people, or four normal people! The chicken was flavorful and juicy with the perfect amount of smokiness. The corn tortillas were good as well. The salsa wasn't very spicy but it was enjoyable.The bus is awesome! As I took pictures the proprietor threw up a peace sign as well. The area is a bit sketchy as it's just on the side of a Chevron gas station in a seedier neighborhood, but the bus gets lots of business so there were always customers there.

This place is amazing. I have their tacos, there grilled chicken and the mixed plates. I recommend them all. Especially the while grilled chicken. Served with tortillas, salsa, beans, grilled onion and limes. It's incredible.

The great taste of northern Mexico in a convenient blue bus-shaped package.Get a whole roasted chicken. It comes with jalapeno, onion, and mucho flavor! Seriously delicious.As an alternative, just drive by and inhale the mouth-watering smoke pouring out of the beautiful blue bus!

Great tacos from their truck. I like the carnitas a lot. The dudes who work there are awesome. Super authentic flavors and vibes.

I love love love this place ! It fulfills my cravings!! And the price for all the food is just wow :) The costillas are my fave, When My husband is not in the mood to grill this is our go to spot !

$22 mixed plate is my favorite! It's more than enough to fill up 2 people. It comes with beans and tortilla and red and green salsa. If you prefer flavorful salsa, green is the way to go. If you like spicy salsa then get the red one. It also comes with one small grilled onion & a lime Best $22 ever spent!!

This restaurant is a great find, and very convenient to I-59 on the way between Houston and the south Texas near the border where we travel several times every year. This place is immaculately clean and the food has really good flavor with a fair price. When my husband and I arrived, we were immediately provided drinks and complementary chips, salsa, and queso. We both ordered the #17 dinner. The taco meat was delicious, the chalupa had a crisp tortilla that never got soggy and tough, and the cheese enchilada was just right. Interestingly, the refried beans were divine, and the rice was super tasty! (I seldom each much of these in other restaurants, but devoured them!). In addition, the restrooms were spotlessly clean, and the ladies' room had a diaper changing table that I would put a baby on all day long. This is a jewel we will come back to again and again!
