Serving Authentic Tacos in the Heart of the Heights

Tucked along N Shepherd Dr in one of Houston’s oldest and most walkable neighborhoods, our Heights location brings authentic Mexican street tacos to a community that already knows good food when it finds it. Just steps from the Heights Hike & Bike Trail and minutes from 19th Street’s mix of boutiques, breweries, and bungalow-lined streets, we’re a quick stop whether you’re grabbing breakfast tacos before a morning jog on the trail or pulling in for a late-night bite after a night out along White Oak. Every taco starts with our house-made corn and flour tortillas, pressed fresh daily, then loaded with your choice of meats, salsas, and toppings made the way Mexican street food is supposed to taste — simple, fresh, and full of flavor. Dine in at our counter, grab a table, or swing through the drive-thru if you’re in a hurry. Either way, you’re getting the same quality: real ingredients, no shortcuts, and tacos that taste like they should. Open daily from breakfast through late night, we’re proud to be part of the Heights’ growing food scene.

Outdoor bar or patio area with green umbrellas, string lights, and a green-white tiled wall; foreground plants and cacti frame the scene.

Quality You Can Taste, Convenience You Can Count On

From our hand-pressed tortillas to our house-made salsas, every taco at The Taco Stand Heights is built on real, quality ingredients — not shortcuts. Choose from tender carnitas, shrimp, fish, tongue, our rich quesabirria, or the hearty mushroom option for a meat-free take on street tacos. Add a burrito, quesadilla, or torta off the full menu, and cool it down with a frozen or canned margarita made with 100% blue agave tequila. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night craving, our Heights location keeps it quick without cutting corners. Dine in, or use our drive-thru when you're on the go.
