Nice and fresh. Very popular. The meat is not the most tender but it’s alright and cheap. Several people begging outside.

Place has the best authentic Mexican place around. If you’re looking for tortas, tacos, and consomé this is definitely the spot. The place is not a high end restaurant but who needs that for a $1.50 taco

The tacos were fine, and pretty cheap. The bacon and egg tacos were greasy. Less than $11 for all 4 tacos. I waited 16 minutes for 4 breakfast tacos. I’m not sure why they took so long, because the service was very quick for everyone else. Also, I noticed the salsa had a lot of oil in it.

Great little spot for breakfast tacos. Fast service and reasonable prices — about $2.25/taco. I got the bacon and egg, potato and egg and barbacoa taco and they were all great with their green salsa.

Today I decided to stop at taco La Bala
The beans were OK. They did offer prompt service
They were a little runny for me.
The rice was missing a little bit of personality and flavor.
The Barbacoa tacos were OK. I liked them. The meat was tender and it was flavorful and the place was packed so I guess people do like them.
I do also know that they have four different locations.

Possibly the best tacos in Houston. The first time I went I had the Barbacoa and cochinita tacos and I had to go back so the second time I had chorizo and egg/ Bacon and egg breakfast tacos. Fantastic. One of my favorite spots.

Delicious flavors. I felt good bang for buck. The red and green salad were spicy and tasty. Some of the meat felt dry and overbooked. The al pastor (aka trompo) meat has a nice flavor profile.

Authentic Mexican food. Their food taste like when I'm in Mexico. It doesn't take long for it to come out.
Update 3/6/2022 - Came here on a busy Sunday and the place was packed with super long lines and surprisingly the line went super fast and people left super quick. The place is well maintained by the cleaning crew because as soon as someone leaves there they are cleaning and picking plates up. The food is still amazing and delicious.

Finally!!! Amazing barbacoa! Been looking for good barbacoa for awhile and finally found some amazing barbacoa. The soup was amazing too. The staff was nice and it was very quick to get our food. Can't wait to go back and eat again.
