Homemade tortillas with diverse fillings for breakfast & lunch tacos
"Going to Brother's Tacos feels very much like walking over to your mom's for some home cooked food (you know, like if your mom makes delicious tacos). This bubblegum pink building has been a staple for the OG East End set for years and now fulfills the authentic taco needs you never even knew you had. The line is usually out the door, but that just means it's good." - Primer Grey
"How to get there: drive (four minutes) or walk (22 minutes) At any given moment, it’s crucial to know exactly how far away you are from the closest breakfast taco spot. Enter: Brother’s Tacos, a long-time counter service taqueria on the edge of East Downtown. Don’t let the long line thwart your quest for egg-and-bacon or barbacoa tacos—things move fast. And it’s worth the wait for the homemade tortillas and to see who you run into before a matinee game." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Freshly made tortillas and a dreamy array of proteins propel Brothers into the pantheon of tacos in Bayou City. This EaDo taco destination serves breakfast and lunch tacos that are deserving of a top spot on any “Best Tacos” list in Houston. There’s asado de puerco (stewed pork), chicharrón, costillas (ribs), chorizo, rajas con queso, fajita, and huevo con everything, including shredded beef. To put it simply, if you like it, they probably make it. Brother’s staff keeps the line moving and sends customers on their way with a heartfelt “¡Gracias, come again!”" - Brianna Griff
"Locals know that making it through the order line at Laredo Taqueria unscathed is a Houston rite of passage. This place has a lot of posted rules. The most prevalent (and important): every taco automatically comes on fresh flour tortillas. While you can ask for corn, we don’t recommend it. Embrace the flour life, then stuff that tortilla full of whatever you want, especially fluffy eggs and bacon." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"Start the morning at this essential Houston taqueria, where tortillas are loaded up with egg, sausage, potatoes, and more into giant breakfast tacos. Be warned — the line gets long, but it typically moves pretty quickly." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat
