Best Tacos in Humble, TX: 8 Taquerias, Windows and Trucks

The best tacos in Humble, TX cluster in two places: Old Town Humble along First Street, where you can eat al pastor carved from a trompo at your table, and the US-59 (Eastex Freeway) and FM 1960 West corridor near Deerbrook Mall, where the taquerias run from breakfast to well past midnight. Our eight picks range from a walk-up taco window that makes its tortillas daily to a family taqueria chain that stays open until 3 a.m. on weekends.

In Humble, the H is silent, and the trompo is the loudest thing on First Street.

How we chose

We picked places that put tacos at the center of the menu or do one taco thing better than anyone else in Humble, then confirmed each one is operating through its own website or official social page as of October 2026. Every pick has a Humble address in 77338 or 77396. We dropped several well-reviewed spots that we could only find on delivery apps, and taco trucks whose current parking spot we couldn’t confirm.

Taquerias and trucks change hours often. Treat every schedule below as “typically” and check the official page the day you go.

Old Town and First Street

Old Town Humble is our favorite taco walk in the northeast suburbs: four of our picks sit on one stretch of First Street, and two of them share a wall.

Letty’s Authentic Mexican Cocina

Old Town Humble, 1005 First St E, Humble, TX 77338 · sit-down · typically Mon–Thu 11 a.m.–9 p.m., Fri 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Sat–Sun 10 a.m.–9 p.m.

Letty’s Authentic Mexican Cocina in Old Town Humble serves a dish most Houstonians have only seen at a taqueria counter: the Trompito a la Mesa, adobo-marinated pork roasted on a small vertical spit, brought to your table and flambéed there. The menu lists it as a dish for two. If you just want tacos, they come three to an order on corn or flour, including al pastor shaved from the trompo, Yucatán-style cochinita and Ensenada-style tacos. Letty’s says the recipes come from the owner’s family.

What to order: the trompito if there are two of you; tacos al pastor if you’re solo.

Insider tip: weekend brunch typically runs 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Check the official menu for the current trompito price before you bring a crowd.
