Tacos El Pariente

I was lured here by the amazing yelp reviews but was very disappointed. So disappointed that I considered leaving and getting tacos elsewhere. The place was empty, that should have been my first sign. The taco meat seemed to be old and just quickly heated up. Limes were dry. Salsa wasn't anything to rave about. Not sure if the 5 star yelp reviews were fake. But I am happy to say I will never be back and will never recommend this place to anyone.

Had the quesabirra tacos & a taco elPastor! Both were delicious, but the quesabirra tacos were hittin!!! They had the right amount of cheese & the tortillas had a nice crunch to them! The sauce was so good & flavorful! Hands down best tacos I've had in a long time!!!

100% recommend, food is made to order and is so tasty and authentic. Staff is friendly & the establishment is very clean.

I ate lunch here Wednesday (11/16) solo, it was easy to find and there was ample parking. I ordered 5 street tacos with birria and barbacoa with a Topo for a whopping $16.23 before tip. I requested no cilantro as a garnish because I am one of those soap people, but the basket came out with a heap of cilantro mixed in with the onions. That's ok I am accustom to picking it out as needed. The meat was so greasy it was hard to pick up the tacos, the barbacoa was ok maybe not the freshest but ok nonetheless. The birria was a whole different story; there were globs of fat which took up half or more of the tiny tacos, and my last taco was simply fat chunks and a poker chip sized bone. I was disappointed to say the least, perhaps it was an off day, but there are better options with better prices.

Amazing food! Amazing service! I'm definitely coming back to try more of their food. Birria tacos were ! Best I have had yet from a restaurant.

Food is good. Like a 9/10. Last time I went, the Quesabirria tacos weren't that good. They were better this time. Probably the best Birria tacos in Pearland/ South Houston. All types of people frequent this restaurant, sometimes those who look unhoused stop by as well. The restaurant had an slightly off smell to it this time, but nothing unexpected, I mean it is a taco restaurant. If I can recall correctly the restrooms are clean. The cashier both times was a Hispanic man. The cook in the back seemed to be another Hispanic man. Service is normal, not good not bad. They have special prices if you use cash. This time, it was $15.00 cash for 4 Quesabirria tacos, while if I bought 3 with card it would've been a little over $15 with tax. The tacos are small as are most tacos from taco places, a little smaller than the size of my hand. A little overpriced with their menu, but not the worst. Took about 10 minutes of waiting for my order. The restaurant's dining area (in front of the cashier) is clean.

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture at the begging. We ordered the quesabirria and barbacoa tacos and they were BUSSIN, the place is very cozy and they were really nice. 10/10!

Delicious tacos al pastor and birria, order to go. Quick service, nice place and ambiance, we'll be back!

Amazing tacos and the quesabirrias were to die for! Small menu, perfected! Highly recommend. Small place but nice sized tables. Clean restrooms. Again- the quesabirrias.... Incredible!!!

Good tacos and delicious Quesabirria. Loved the flavors of each. For the tacos I ordered pastor and fajita and preferred the fajita. Quesabirria was super fresh and delicious. Loved the green sauce. Small restaurant with a good parking lot.
