Taqueria El Karnal on Kempwood is the real deal. Walk up and you feel like you stepped into the streets of Mexico City. The al pastor off the trompo is straight up one of the best bites in Houston. Flavorful, authentic, no corners cut. And everything on the menu is fire.
Service is fast and courteous every single time. This is our go-to spot, hands down.
Try it. You won’t regret it.

Cash only. Delicious barbacoa taco. I got 6 barbacoa maiz taco for $12 so they’re $2 each. The tortilla is small but put a lot of meat. They were flavorful. Parking is good you don’t even have to worry about it.
