The Tastiest Food Trucks in Houston

OMG Baked Potatoes

★★★★★ 4.5 (297) • $$

"*Black owned food truck*We were going for something new and different, and we attempted another spot like theirs, but they weren't serving certain things and were out of other things, and I suggested we try them instead! I'm so glad I did, too. The owner was there taking orders, and he was the friendliest man ever. He gave suggestions of his menu faves, and he gave us advice on our new business endeavors out in Houston. He was really a nice man! We got 3 different options 2 baked potatoes and 1 pasta dish. OMG, IT WAS GOOD!!!! They didn't skrimp on items, and everything was hot, fresh, and seasoned well. He has a pretty extensive menu for a food truck. I would definitely return!"

Every-Bellies

★★★★★ 4.5 (290) • $$

"The service was great! You order at the counter when you walk in and then get a number, they have indoor and outdoor seating. They gave us a free cookie because it was our first visit. We just went in to try a little something. Had the cheese and bacon fries. It comes with cheese sauce but I had them replace it with melted cheddar instead because I don't like cheese sauce on fries, makes them soggy. They were shoe string fries, little on the greasy side, and they had real bacon. I will come again and try a loaded potato."

The Backyard Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (343) • $$

"Came in after work for drink. The place wasn't packed at all allowing quick service. They offer a half priced pour for all beers on tap from 4-7 daily. I ordered a modelo and it only ran me $5. I always like the easy going nature of this place and recommend a visit."

Midwest Coney Connection

★★★★★ 4.7 (177) • $$

""Hello Detroit, you won my heart" those who know, know what I'm singing. That is what I was singing after visiting this spot! I have heard lot of good reviews and I was finally able to get here. This place right here brings me back home. The chili dog is right on point of the Detroit coney I get when I come home. Let start with the wings - nice and crunchy like I like them, and moist. The lemon pepper seasoning was not over powering. French fries were good but I should of made those a chili fries. Now let's get to the coney dog, they chili sauce on top is very flavorful. I have been to other place that say the coney dogs taste like the ones from Detroit, this place has hit it on the nail!!! The service was great the own came out letting the customers know that there food will be ready soon. Letting us know that food is cook to order so you know you are getting it fresh. He was very nice and so was the staff. They carry the staples from home. Better made chips and Faygo. The next on the list to try is a Boston cooler (ice cream and Vernon's another Detroit staple). Check out the menu, they do offer various hot dogs and wings."

Rollie's Frozen Custard

★★★★★ 4.6 (174)

"I had a recent mind blowing encounter with some custard in West Texas and have been craving something similar since. After lunch nearby for Father's Day with the fam, we decided to come here for some dessert. This is a locally owned business located in a strip center in West Pearland. Since we had a larger party with us, we called ahead to make sure they had indoor seating. Majority of the restaurant is work space with small area for customers. The seating consisted of a few benches inside. There was some outside benches a little further down from the Rollie's, but I'm not sure if it's shared with them or not. We were the only people inside when it was our turn to order. There were two employees working that looked less than enthused to be there. Any questions we had were directed to the menu. Customer service goes a long way in my book, and it was lacking that day. We ordered a variety of different things and they all came out staggered which was to be expected. I ordered the hot fudge brownie sundae for myself with chocolate custard. It looked promising at first glance. I went in on the brownie first and it was on the dry side and way to crumbly, but tasted fine. The custard at first was nice and smooth as expected, but then I would get random bites of ice. It kind of threw off the velvety consistency that I love with custard. I also noticed the absence of chopped peanuts that was listed as a topping. I was half way in already so I let it slide. No other complaints on the other items ordered. Overall, my sweet tooth was satisfied, but between the service and not getting my full order, I'm not sure I would rush back anytime soon. I'm guessing it was just an off day and they have alot more to offer."

Sofy's Taqueria

★★★★★ 4.6 (157)

"very cute small business! Tortillas are hand maid right in front of you. great customer service and friendly staff. Cheap tacos with good quality ingredients. Salsas are fresh and spicy. Easy access off the highway. The potato egg and cheese and the steak and egg tacos were great."

Stuffd Wings

★★★★☆ 4 (202) • $$

"So my friend knew I was in Houston and texted me to go by Stuffd Wings and get her something. Well, I wasn't just going to get her something without me trying it as well. I placed on online order for her dirty rice wings, I got the seafood stuffd, and we got tenders, Mac stuffd and boudin stuffd. When I went to pick up my order at the specified time, it was ready which was great. We didn't eat it right away since we'd just eaten breakfast and took them back home with us. Back home is DFW area. They held up well and were very good... I'm sure even better eating them fresh. Definitely go back."

Taco Fuego

★★★★☆ 3.9 (197)

"Returned last night and was not disappointed! The quesaBirria at $3.25 a piece is flavor bomb. I'm not sure with the tub of sauce adds much more to the flavor."

Big "6" Bar-B-Que

★★★★☆ 4.2 (156) • $$

"We attended a neighborhood event that Big 6 catered. We're glad we went because Big 6 was very good and we got to meet a lot of our neighbors, very nice people. The brisket was very tender and oh so tasty, the sausage and the chicken drum stick was just as good, the beans and tater salad were very good. Now I need to visit their food trailer, they're bookmarked already."

Taqueria Ruby

★★★★☆ 3.7 (198) • $

"Ruby's at night... love me some beef fajita Gordita! ... Ruby's in the morning... chorizo and egg tacos ... I like mine with refried beans.... You can watch old time movies while you wait for your food! Clean... friendly staff... and conveniently located!"

Cowboy Tacos and Burgers

★★★★★ 4.7 (118) • $

"Support local food trucks! That's my motto. The reviews were great so I had to swing by for a quick bite. Getting here was easy. I arrived around 1pm, the wait time for my food was short. There were two gentleman ahead of me. The lot doesn't look like much but the food is definitely delicious and priced reasonably. Let's discuss the menu. Simple, but delicious. Burgers, quesadillas, tacos (medium and street tacos size). Weekly specials can be found on the backside of I was hoping for street tacos, however the gentleman inside suggested I order the "cowboy tacos special", which come with three tacos and a beverage. I wish they offers other beverages besides sodas, but who am I to complain. Anyways the tacos are available in the following flavors: beef, pork, and chicken served on a delicious flour tortillas, topped Roth onions and cilantro. I had one of each - baby theses tacos were full of FLAVOR! Normally, I am not a fan of chicken tacos - they tend to be dry. However, the chicken tacos here are shredded and seasoned beautifully. The chicken and pork were my favorite out of the three. I asked for green and red sauce. To be honest the red sauce wasn't my favorite, it was extremely mild. Will I return? Absolutely! Next time I plan to order the quesadilla."

3rd Coast BBQ

★★★★★ 4.7 (118) • $$

"Heard about 3rd Coast recently, so I stopped by today even though I wasn't very hungry. Glad I did! 3rd Coast has "it" when it comes to Texas BBQ!their moist brisket was everything Texas bbq should be and their jalapeño cheddar sausage was a great blend of taste and spice. The only side I ordered was their Cajun slaw, a vinegar based slaw that had a solid spicy kick. Super tasty, IMO!They also had Otto bottled sodas and a wide range of adult beverages. All seating is outdoors, so be forewarned about that. Also parking can be very limited. Service was fast and friendly."

Yummy's Hot Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (128) • $$

"I ve been passing by this place a thousand timesI saw their food truck all the timeAnd finally got a chance to try itIt is a fried chicken place The chicken was pretty crispy and delicious Food price was super reasonable Service is pretty good just a little bit hard if u don't speak Spanish and the the service was petty friendly The vibe was pretty casual"

Houston Sauce Pit

★★★★★ 4.5 (122) • $$

"As a veg head for many years and coming down south, I am alwaysSo sad to not eat the wonderful smelling bbq that is available because it is meat - until I found this all vegan truck in Houston. HFS was it good!!! I mean like I want to lick the box good. I got one meal and then order something different because when you find something this good, you need to try more stuff especially if you are not from around here. The menu is all plant based and so flavorful. The smell made be drool. The staff was friendly and the food came fast and hot. Everything had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. I am hoping to hit this place one more time before heading back home to Ohio. Coolest part was that they were with other food trucks so my meat eating family could get both plant base food and meat."

Taco Keto

★★★★☆ 4.3 (125)

"Why 5 stars? Because it lived up to the hype. --- --- ---28 reviews and every single one is 5 stars? There's no way it can be that good, right?Let me just say this: If you don't love the tacos from Taco Keto, you're just an angry person.I lived the first 22 years of my life in the Friendswood/Clear Lake area but was never into 2 things:1) Being a foodie2) Exploring around in the "Big City"And for my return home this past Christmas, it was time to un-do that horrible behavior. I'd seen enough of the suburbs in my life - it was time for my introduction to Houston's best.My flight landed at Hobby. My mom picked me up. We went directly to Taco Keto.Oh...the GOODNESS that was contained inside of that 6 inch tortilla. Sometimes the Mexican food can be lacking here in Tampa...but one bite of this paradise, and I was right back at home.I told the employee that I was fresh off the plane from Tampa, and she told me that the day before a couple came in from Chicago. The word is getting out...and soon...Taco Keto will be a National Phenomenon."

Krab Kingz Cypress

★★★★☆ 4.4 (116) • $$

"We finally tried this place after constant advertisements and hype on Instagram.Oh boy was they good and well portioned!Crazy part is they did not have different Crab options.The only confusing thing about this place is they only have one stall per gender and a pretty small space which is unexpected based on how they say how busy it get on social media.The service was great the same person that took our order is the same one that delivered our food.The food taste great and got better the longer it sat I had food left over."

Ultimo Taco Truck

★★★★★ 4.5 (107) • $

"I didn't get to take a picture because I was hangry! Now I'm sad I didn't take pictures for yall to see it. Anyways, the tacos here were pretty good I'm not gonna lie! I ordered three tacos, 2 Barbados and 1 pastor. I got it on maiz tortilla, which felt a little thicker than other places but I'm fine with that. It comes with cilantro and onions in top. I liked the Barbacoa tacos more but I've always been more of a barbacoa type rather than pastor. They were both extremely flavorful! Tacos were $1.75 each on maiz tortilla. I think it costs a little more to get them on flour tortilla. Overall, it was very good and very authentic. The only thing is that they don't have an tables or chairs to sit on to enjoy your food but you can't really complain about that about a food truck lol. So I just enjoyed my tacos in my car while watching the bachelorette hehe"

403 EATS

★★★★★ 4.5 (101)

"The Caribbean food truck has delicious coconut shrimp tacos - highly recommend. A friend got the Connecticut lobster roll and loved it, as well. They have a beer and wine bar and margaritas and a small green space for kids."

Coffee-Q

★★★★☆ 4 (125) • $$

"Very good banh mi and veggie quesadilla. Wait was a bit, but the Vietnamese coffee was a great treat on a hot morning. Prices reasonable for being at an event."

Chitalian Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.3 (106) • $$

"This is, hands down, the best pizza I have ever had! Cracker-thin crust, but it holds up to whatever toppings you chose. I had the vegetarian and hubby had the meat lovers (covering both sides of the spectrum). They use a signature blend of seasoning in their sauce that takes everything over the top. They started as a food truck and are easing into a newly renovated brick and mortar. Super cute inside with polished concrete floors, an interesting subway tile on the wall, and artwork with an ode to their hometown of Chicago. They are still focusing on carryout business right now, but the service is quick, and our orders are always spot on. Keep an eye out for dine-in availability coming soon, but don't wait to try this place out. You won't regret it. Photo was taken the next day while pizza was cold. It reheats like a dream as well, for those of us who no longer indulge in cold pizza."

Sabor Venezolano

★★★★☆ 3.5 (151) • $$

"After the Astros' victory in the 2022 World series, I really wanted to celebrate some Venezuelan dishes. You know Jose Altuve is from Venezuela. I visited Sabor Venezolano. I ordered a lunch plate. It was so good though I had no idea about Venezuelan cuisine. I especially loved arepa which is similar to pupusas in El Salvador. Regarding the name, Sabor Venezolano, sabor means flavor or taste in English. But it sounds like saboru(さぼる) in Japanese. Saboru means " I skip or ditch school in Japanese"! It is a good reason to go to the restaurant and don't go to school. LOL."

Lindiana's Southern Vegan Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (107) • $$

"Delicious food and great service! I just finished a satisfying Easter Sunday lunch here that consisted of "chicken" tenders, greens, Mac n cheese, and dirty rice. The tenders where juicy on the inside and nice & crispy on the outside. Dipped them & the Buffalo and special sauces and it couldn't get any better. Even without sauce the tenders were seasoned to perfection. The vegan mac n cheese was also SO good. Tasted very cheesy & creamy. The dirty rice was the perfect texture and seasoned just right with all the right herbs and spices. I can't decide if l liked the Mac n cheese or dirty rice better. The greens were also quite good, with a good balance of sugar, salt & vinegar. Had the hibiscus limeade to wash it all down which was very thirst quenching with just the right amount of sweetness. My friend had the fish (oyster mushroom), Mac n cheese and French toast and loved her food as well. The service was great bc the young lady who helped us was super friendly and took her time to answer any and all questions we had and to make great recommendations. I also found out from her that the Jank sauce owner lives in my hometown. Looking forward to purchasing the sauce so I can try it out the next time I visit my local HEB. Thanks for the delicious Easter Sunday meal Lindiana! I'll be back and will bring my friend with me whenever she's in town. Will also bring others your way as well! Great food, great experience. 5 stars!"

Boogie's Chicago Style BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.5 (144) • $

"Good food with nice size portions I like the wings rib ends the most so far. Will go back again to try other item. Also the the wings were large that's a plus"

Big Cab's Crawfish

★★★★☆ 4.3 (94)

"Surprisingly I did not find this place on Yelp but instead on Google maps when looking for places close by to the park we were at. Surprised to see a crawfish food truck, we decided to give it a try. This place is located in a food truck park behind a gas station. Parking is on gravel, but seating is very plentiful. We ordered the 5LB special and it was a fun experience and decent price! I like how they give you paper towels and gloves with your order."

Ako’s

★★★★★ 4.5 (83) • $$

"Update: they moved to Sugarland. I was disappointed with the news that they were no longer going to be in the area. I made a trip out to sugarland and had it for the last time. Everything was as good as I remember. I just wish they put seasoning on both sides of the chicken."

Taqueria Mirandas

★★★★☆ 4.4 (82) • $

"They have pretty good food. The place is kinda hidden. My bff and her husband's family come here probably 1x a week. It is a little far from me but the food is good for the 23 minutes drive one way. The horchata here is legit. Not heavy or too milky tasting, the cinnamon in it is on point. The white cheese fries are tasty. I like the free charro beans they give with the food. I wish they had more seating but it is a food truck so I can't complain about the seating. They are ALWAYS packed! I like the beef fajita tacos and tortas. The beef is tasty and NOT chewy with fat like some places. They are pretty generous with the portions so far. I've been there once to eat and 1x togo. The workers seem nice and friendly. The wait time isn't too bad the two times I have gotten food here."

Los Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.2 (89) • $

"Good street tacos! They have amazing green sauce too. Fresh flavors and they have great deals on the weekdays. Service is quick and attentive, even when bogged down by the super long lines."

Lea Jane's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (99) • $$

"Love, love, love this food stand at the Post. There's always a long line, but it's worth the wait. The food comes out fairly quickly and hot.I went with a friend visiting from Portland who wanted to order all the sides. We had ordered a few different things from the other food places in the food court area. Out of the sides, the collard greens were my fave. It wasn't vinegary. The broth it was marinated in was sooo good with the braised meat. It is on the soupier side. The greens weren't bitter. This is the best collard greens I've had. I could've eaten a bowl of this as a soup. The only thing missing is maybe adding some heat as an option. The Nashville hot chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I like how they use a thigh for dark meat. It's so juicy and flavorful. It's also topped with the kale kimchi slaw to add some acidity. The buttered Texas toast is a nice touch but can be difficult to eat since everything falls out. The fries are crispy and seasoned well.Aside from ChopnBlok (my other Post fave), Lea Jane's is definitely a staple when you come here!"

Tandoori Night

★★★★☆ 3.7 (106) • $$

"My friend (a fellow Elite Yelper) and I were in the area and she suggested we get some Indian food from this food truck. She kept ranting and raving about how good it was and all I could think was... INDIAN FOOD FROM A FOOD TRUCK?! Smh & Lol. Well, I'm glad I tried it. I ordered the tiki masala chicken and garlic naan bread. That was probably the BEST Indian food I have ever tasted in my life and yes it came from a food truck. This little truck is parked in a gas station lot and has tent covered seating for your finding pleasure. It rivals any restaurant. Promise! The ingredients are fresh and the food is DELICIOUS! If I lived closer I would probably eat here every single day!"

Big Burger World

★★★★☆ 4.4 (73) • $

"This was on my list to check,out and today happened to be the day. They are located in the back of the strip mall between the cleaners and the nail shop. I order the burger dressed with cheese and the hand cut fries. They were cooked as I waited. it didn't seems that long but it was brought out the back bagged and ready to go. I drive home to setup to eat. The burger was huge, a half pounder and I had to cut it in half to eat, lol. The hand cut fries were delicious. They are similar to five guys fries. My burger was juicy and cooked to my perfection. I will definitely return to try other menu items."

BBQ Godfather

★★★★☆ 4.3 (75)

"Why 3 stars? Because everything was really heavy on the pepper. --- --- ---We had an amazing first experience from another truck at Deacon Baldy's, so I was really excited to try another one out. We hadn't had BBQ yet in our first couple weeks in Texas, so I was even more pumped for this meal.Unfortunately, we did not love it. We ordered a bunch of different things, but felt like most of it was unnecessarily spicy/peppery. The caveat is that I thought the ribs were perfectly cooked. And I mean perfectly. Some ribs are so "fall-off-the-bone" that they are like stew. Other ribs are so tough that you have to rip them off like beef jerky. But these were exactly as God intended.And while the ribs were not nearly as spicy as the other meat, we still would have preferred some different seasoning. With that being said, I would still order them again because of how well they were cooked. And they were very large.Next time we go to Deacon Baldy's, we will probably try another food truck, but it's nice to know I have a solid option for ribs close by."

Boombox Taco

★★★★★ 4.7 (62) • $

"A kickass taco truck!They're a regular rotation at Truck Yard which makes perfect sense; tacos go with any type of alcohol. Their pastor and fajita tacos are straight up dope with the portion size, tenderness and juiciness of the meats, tortillas with the right texture, and salsas that compliment/balance the proteins. Tacos are done just right here and at 3 for $10, you can't go wrong with the value!Flavors explode like a boombox on the beach after guzzling a 6 pack!"

The Birria Queen

★★★★★ 4.6 (63) • $$

"We're in the city for a girl's weekend trip. My friend had this food truck on her list after seeing recommendations from Tabitha Brown and Keith Lee (food critic). We made this our lunch stop after leaving the airport. I had the chicken quesadilla and substituted the beef consommé for garlic consommé. I chose the quesadilla because I prefer flour tortillas. My friend had the chicken tacos which are on corn tortillas. They have tables with umbrellas so we were able to enjoy our food immediately, and enjoyed it we did. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Everyone agreed that The Birria Queen was an excellent choice. Also, we were here on a Thursday afternoon so we did not have to wait in line for our food."

Tasty Arepa

★★★★☆ 4.1 (79) • $

"Pretty tasty arepas and empanadas for a decent price! This is a food truck located right on Washington, in the parking lot near Heart! The bf decided to pick up some dinner for us one night and decided on an assortment of empanadas and 2 arepas! We got a cheese empanada, some potatoes and beef, and some potatoes and pulled pork. They were crispy, filled with lots of filling that was seasoned well, and fairly large! They come with 2 different sauces that add to the flavors! The two arepas we got were the Blondie (Catira) - shredded chicken with Gouda cheese! They came out hot, crispy exterior and delicious filling! I ate them cold when the bf brought them home and they were still good - can't wait to try them again fresh! He loves this place and we got a good amount of food for the price!"

Stick Talk Cajun Hibachi

★★★★☆ 3.5 (107) • $$

"Upon arriving we thought it was just a car wash and we read the directions "order inside". We walk in, that's where we find a few people waiting for their food. The restaurant is pretty decent, nice size. I wouldn't call it cozy, it's more quaint- eat and leave (lol) they do have some good vibes music playing so that's pretty cool. My husband and I came at the end of the night, so it was like a "to go" order so to speak. Before ordering, the gentleman at the front was consumed in whatever he was doing he didn't speak for a few minutes, which was a bit rude but we brushed it off when he started talking to us about our order. We ordered the shrimp entree it came with a yum yum sauce of your choosing, I think it's like 7 kinds which in my opinion was tasty and salty AF as well, hence the 3 stars for me. Hubby's viewpoint is a bit different, he enjoyed it as well maybe more than I did but also mentioned the salt level was a bit much. What would bring me back? The late hours of course and to try the salmon entree next time. :)"
