Stopped by to get tacos for lunch and they were very good. They had about 6 different types of meats, rice, and beans. You could choose flour or corn tortillas. It was a little expensive for 5 tacos ($17) but they were super filled up with rice, beans, and meat. Didnt disappoint. We were able to sit inside and eat comfortably. Only 3 tables available but we were the only ones there so it was fine. Recommend.

First time at this place barbacoa tacos were so good definitely coming back for chicharrones 😋😋😋

One of the best places to get tacos in the city in my opinion. The staff is always super kind. Open before dawn. Perfect if you’re looking for excellent tacos, unlimited beverage options and light grocery shopping. Somehow better than the tacos at the restaurant across the street. Highly recommend!

Mask requirement sign at the door. But not enforced. Ill be back when its not so crowded with hungry construction workers.

Went this morning for the breakfast tacos. Very very busy (great sign) ans very fast paced. It is obvious you need to know what you want or you will hold up the highly efficient process, but 1 big problem, NO MENU, NO pricing, NO signs on any of the food!! So when I finally got to where I could almost see the food qnd someone asked what I wanted, i asked what one thing was, but could not hear the answer then I just asked for bacon egg and cheese taco bc that is always my favorite anyways. I was told they were out bc they were moving on to lunch. When I responded No bacon at 9am on a Saturday, they said they could make it for me if I waited, this was the saving grace and why I am giving it 4 stars. I really appreciated it. I think they only had 2other egg options and a line for breakfast out the door. When we went back to get the bacon, egg and cheese they had made a small try and it was going fast :)The food: Very little bacon in it, but they did make it for me so I was happy I got it. fresh tortillas, very greasy which I usually hate, but honestly they were really good! The cheese was really good, and so was the portion size.My boyfriend got the carnitas and the flavor was amazing.The reason I am writing this review is to ask/beg the owners or managers to have some signage that tells the customers the option and prices, with COVID everyone has masks on behind the counter and you can not hear them even when you ask.

The most amazing place to get tacos, they are packed with meet and homemade tortillas, cant get any better than that.

Great tacos for a great price. Ill be back!

Always amazing tacos. Pro tip: if you go a little later in the day they give you more because they are trying to get rid of it! Always get extra tortillas.

Fajitas > everything. Centrally located in washington avenue, surrounded by numerous bars and night spots. Green salsa is fantastic and the fajitas are delicious

Very good service excellent food and the only place you can buy a real fajitas o arracheras out side skirt

Best tacos in town. Salsa is delicious

I buy menudo here on Saturday,but lately it has no menudo taste too much water

Excellent street tacos. Really enjoys my tacos there. If your looking for authentic street tacos, with all the trimmings. This is the place to go.

Place was good and the food delicious

Fast ordering, Good tacos, Good serviceI like that you can get in and out with your order. You get in line, look at the different dishes they have available, and place your order. I usually order three tacos, one fajita, one sausage, one carnitas or barbacoa. The salchicha (sausage) tacos are very good.They check me out and I can ask for cilantro, onion, lemon, and salsa. I can then pay pretty quickly and go on about my day. I usually get a mexican soda from the store and sometimes take some sweet bread to go home.

Great Mexican Meat Market and Taqueria off Washington. Great Selection and Fast Service.

The waiter in got did NOT give me my food right it was cold, just horrible

Ive never thought I would write a bad review until I went to El Tiempo Taqueria. 5.58 for 2 avocados, 28.00 for 2lb. Fajita meat.

Been going for years since it was matamoros meat market. But the prices has change, cost a lot to eat there. 3.98 for one fajita taco not good. Lost me as a costumer. No thanks there are other better and Reasonable prices else where than there.

Taco were ok. Tortillas are raw and grainy, they had raw flour on them. As for the beef/meats they didnt have much flavor for my taste. I am glad I tried out this place. Most likely will not cost again. We give this a thumbs down.👎👎

Great food, reasonable price, and good service.

The tacos be smacking, love going there, excellent food

First of all I have never taken the time wtite a review to any place as I never really thought people read these reviews but after taking a look at the negative reviews mentioned about this place I thought I would need to .. so here goes my first .. I have visited this place a numerous amount of times, so many I lost count but I have always been impressed with the taste of the tacos here the flavor is always on point and Im a person that likes quality so one of the other main reasons I continue to visit this place is that the tacos are always well served and very filling for the price .. also very important to me that the times I have visited this place it always looks clean and the manager there is always very helpful and always asking if anyone needs any help. Not to mention the times I have been and Im in a rush they are always trying to be sure to keep the line moving as to make sure all are served in a timely manner. Very highly recommended .. and will continue to visit whenever in the area.

Authentic Handmade Flour Tortillas 😭🙏

So good I even forgot to take picture!! Highly recommend.

Yummy in my tummy

Was treated rather rudely, took them more than 5 minutes to acknowledge i was even there. I didnt know if it was I was invisible, the company I work with or I dont speak Spanish, I dont know. I will not be returning.

This used to be a Matamoros market many years ago. I guess El Tiempo purchased the location. Im hoping they keep it as is and not make changes. Authentic flavors & atmosphere keep this a favorite spot. They load up the tacos so much you can make 3 with extra tortillas.

Great Tacos. A little pricey but i think all prices have went up do to covid

The food we ordered was last minute just b4 they were closing and they still were very nice a patient. The tortillas were home made and the food was so fresh and delicious. Gonna go back for sure. Just like home

Got some chicken to grill a week ago and the chicken was bad, I was wondering why the butcher had dip the chicken in the marinate sauce again after already being marinated. After cooking the meat it was crazy the amount of flies that wear surrounding the chicken. The only good thing was that I was able to take the food back and get my money back, and yes the supervisor was looking for a reason to blame the customer. By the way I happen to love El Tiempos Resturants always been a fan too bad I cant say the same for the meat market.

I love this place, delicious food, clean, friendly staff.

You ask for food they have at plain and they dont want to serve you to avoid wasting time slicing it. I thought that the client had to be first.

I ordered from them off doordash, expecting at least half the quality of the cantina locations (smaller portions I assumed due to the cheaper pricing). Oh boy, was I wrong. I threw away most of what I ordered (minus the two items they forgot, since you cant throw away something you didnt receive). Doordash credited the missing items. Usually my dog gets to have some leftovers, but it was so bad that I found it more appropriate to feed to the garbage can. I think Ill make the drive out to Galena park for some real food, rather than order from home next time.

This taqueria has one of the best fajitas in town, tortillas hand made,their tortas, they have a nice selection of different stews, and their prices are decent,

Every time Ive visited that location Im greeted with smiling faces . Always well staffed and always clean . The food is always top notched . Most delicious tacos 🌮🌮, cant miss on any taco, they are always delicious. Best tasting tacos in the city🌮🌮🌮. Give the manager a pat on the back. You have a good crew ..🌮🌯🌮🌯🌮

Always great food you cant find elsewhere.

Truly a traditional Mexican meat market with fresh steam table food for quick breakfast, lunch and dinner take out. This place is fresh, hot and ready, it does not get any better city wide.Awesome mesquite grilled beef and chicken fajitas with all the sides. Freshly rolled corn and flour tortillas. Great take out options for parties as we have done many times.This family meat market is the real deal! JC

My god food was amazing I love there tacos

You get not go wrong, the lunch is great, great beef choices all around and the marinade beef is great

Bad food too grassy

The best tacos in Houston

Its a great place to eat

This place is amazing! not only is it a small grocery store but its a Taqueria as well. With some of the best tacos you ever eat in Houston. Tortillas are made fresh everyday!

Great tacos! Lotsa meat!

It was ok

Always the best food

Great breakfast tacos! The torta is fantastic!

I have been working in the area almost 2 years and I visit El Tiempo Taqueria at least twice per week. The tacos and tortas are great. I really enjoy the Piccadillo and the Chicken Fajita. For the torta I always get the Beef Fajita. They have a big stock of beverages and carry pretty much everything.El Tiempo Taqueria also is a small grocery store carrying fresh produce and sell different meats.The cashiers are always sweet and welcoming. Lisette is wonderful. I really appreciate your hospitality.Y’all can’t forget to try some of their fresh baked breads. They are authentic and delicious.*************************************So over the last two months they appear to have brought over, I’m guessing, a head chef from Tony Mandola’s Gulf Coast restaurant. He has amped up their taco line and enhanced the menu. There are rotating specials throughout the week like before. But they are of higher quality at the same good price. The tacos are great. I am appreciative of their business! Thank you El Tiempo!

Good place not been there for a while. Very clean big tacos love it

Tasty Mexican food.

I give it a four star the atmosphere was nice clean the servers were very nice and polite check out was very quick and easy and the food is excellent I love lingua taco and the beef soup

Menudo was not that good,not enough flavorFlower Tortillas are real good and coffe with cinnamon was excellent.

A grocery store and a taqueria! Line moves slow but the food is worth the wait. The menudo was full of flavor and the meat was fresh. The barbacoa was so good, I had to get another piece. Our group had arrived a few minutes before the end of breakfast but they managed to whip up a fresh egg and potato plate for one. There is a wall with counter to eat your food or grab one of the bistro tables in the back. Plenty of fresh produce to buy as well. Very neat find on Washington, I am glad we stopped in.

Even though its a meat market, their hot food section is amazing!! Tacos are delicious and set at a good price. I would recommend their chicken tacos and agua frescas.

The food is sooo gooooddd. You should eat at this places man so good

I think the food is way overpriced. Burrito was terrible. Tastes like a enchilada.

Best bang for you buck in Houston TX for tacos. Hands down.

Delicious tacos!! We go all the time for breakfast or lunch tacos

I was pleasantly surprised of how tasty the breakfast tacos were.

Very good for the hot and ready tacos, fantastic for any at home fajita needs. Great selection of produce and even better selection of meats.

Its decent and the portions are generous. Just a bit greasy.

Went there to get some meat to grill over the weekend and the marinated chicken I bought was spoiled. This was my 1st and last time going there.

ALWAYS great

Really convenient grocery store. They have a decent selection of fresh produce, Mexican products, dairy, and eggs. They have interesting random products also. Their tortillas are so much better than the ones from the grocery store. You can buy a dozen raw tortillas and cook them yourself too. I love their aguas frescas. They usually have four flavors like cantaloupe and horchata. It gets busy at breakfast and lunch, but their breakfast tacos are cheap and delicious. The people are very nice here.

Great place to get some groceries and they serve good mexican food as well!

Great Place for breakfast tacos.

Ordered two carne guisada tacos. Mostly gristle and bone. Awful.

They sell old meat. Be careful when buying.

Fajita mixta breakfast tacos were great.

Fatty tacos, without flavor, with a lot of color in the fajita and more apart very expensive almost at four dollars this is the last time I buy in this place because I bought 12 tacos for my co-workers and none of them liked it, much less me and I spent 43 dollars on pure touches 😏😏😏😏😠😠

I ordered one thing and they gave me what they wanted. They did not put a spoon or anything and we were not going to ask gentlemen we paid for what we asked lets be honest

Excellent food and superb attention, always clean.

The Jamon cake is delicious ..!

Very good service and food

Great service
