Interesting Locale, pretty good food  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Even though I'm not a big fan of tacos, I enjoyed the food and the locale at Tacos A Go Go. Definitely an interesting place to spend some time at. The best part is that, although they obviously specialize in tacos, they do have some other options, although they are limited.

Some of the BEST tacos in town! 5 Star Rating - World class

So i'm an avid taco eater and usually stick to the taquerias around town. I live right down the street and after hearing so many reviews about this place, i decided to check it out. I ordered three tacos, fish taco, egg and refried beans and egg and potato with cheese. All were TO DIE FOR! the cheese they use is sharp but adds a nice flavor to the tacos and the service was pretty good. I think I spent $6 total. I'll definitely be going back to try out their guacamole and other items.

Pros: Food, tacos, service
Cons: parking. there is none

Friendly, cheap, excellent food 5 Star Rating - World class

Order taker was extremely friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and portion size. This place has a slightly alternative, urban hipster-type feel for it. It would be at home in Austin for sure...consequently, there's great people watching here too. The tacos here were better than ones double the price at Teala's. I highly recommend Tacos a Go-Go for dinner.

Pros: Food tastes great, big portions, great value
Cons: Close at 3pm on Sunday

The best tacos in houston. period. 5 Star Rating - World class

houston press got it right in giving this small joint awards for best taco, best guacamole and best breakfast taco. the egg tacos are cheap and you can make them with whatever ingredients you want. i've tried almost everything on the menu and my favorites are the beef fajita and grilled fish tacos. they use pollock and they are better than anyone's. it's an arty, funky little place with a community atmosphere and the music rocks. the parking is not so bad as everyone says. there is a lot dedicated to the businesses on main street and it's located on Winbern street, a small side-street. But you'll find tacos a go-go if you know west alabama because it's between that and winbern. oh -- one more thing -- they have awesome dessert tacos that are made like quesadillas on flour tortillas, all gooey and delicious. the flavors are chocolate, peanut butter and chocolate, hazelnut and chocolate, a s'more dessert taco (my fave); apple cinnamon raisin, strawberry and cream, blackberry and cream and even a pumpkin pie dessert taco, with crushed graham cracker inside. oh, well, you gotta see for yourself, i guess. :)

one more thing: i paid for all my meals with credit cards, so they do accept plastic. maybe that's new?

Pros: food, price, salsas, originality in food and decor
Cons: hidden (but worth finding)

good for late night snack 5 Star Rating - World class

Their breakfast tacos sold me. I got a potato, chorize, egg - there are a million types of hot sauce. voted one of the
"50 best tacos" by texas monthly if i'm not mistaken.

Watch out for unsafe parking areas...midtown has a lot of them.

Pros: tacos rock
Cons: parking, the light rail is in the way, small inside

Food is great...the attitude IS NOT! 4 Star Rating - Very good

This is one of the cooler places in Houston! It's long over due. However, the service fluctuates, it's either great!!..or you get the surly brown-headed girl at lunch time (who might be the manager???) whom I got today. She obviously HATES working with the clientele. I could tell before I got up to the counter she was not going to be very nice...and she wasn't. I watched her serve a nice side of attitude to everyone who approached the counter. It unfortunate because people like her can make a person NOT want to eat there. The guy who is there occasionally is much nicer. It's a common story...one dirt-bag employee ruining what could otherwise be a nice dining experience with their INFANTILE attitude. People wonder why places like Ninfa's reign supreme in this town...IT'S CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE!! A major plus is the green sauce with chunks of avocado!!! It's complimentary...and the food IS good! Too bad they run the place like a 7th grade lunch counter. oh well. DON'T TIP THE JAR IF THEY FLIP YOU ATTITUDE. Tip the cooks instead!!!

Pros: food, atmosphere
Cons: service
