I went on 3/1/25. I’ve been to a couple of these locations and this was the absolute best one yet. The guacamole & chicharrón were top tier, very savory and creamy. I also got the shrimp cocktail and took it to go, and currently eating it 8 hours later & it’s still taste fresh. Lastly my boyfriend ordered a pastor taco and barbacoa; this pastor trumps most of the taco trucks that I consider great. The barbacoa tacos were pretty tender and flavorful too. I can’t remember the waitresses name but she was kind enough to compliment my boyfriends Spanish (he’s white and trying really hard) and she didn’t have to do that. Sorry about the bad photos, food smelled too good to wait longer.

Went on a Sunday evening and had the pozole and it was really nice. I also had a taco al carbon and also great flavor. The green salsa is terrific.

Dear owner or branch manager! I would love to share that your night staff has the most horrible customer service experience. And I speak on behalf of your worker named Jaqueline and the rest of the staff. Every time I leave church service I get the most delayed service! And it's infuriating that I have to constantly wait and ask for a refill of coffee and chips. And when I ask for them, she seems to have the most disgusting face, like she doesn't want to be there or doesn't like her job and I, for one, feel discriminated against by the fact that she has to constantly have that attitude. And I want to talk to the manager or owner of the establishment to resolve it! We, as a customer, don't have to deal with this!

Nestled in Houston’s vibrant culinary landscape, Taqueria Amanda’s on Airline Drive is a hidden gem that radiates warmth, authenticity, and an undeniable passion for Mexican cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the festive "South of the Border" decor welcomes you with a burst of color and charm, setting the stage for an exceptional dining experience.
Service at Taqueria Amanda’s is nothing short of impeccable. Alicia, our server, delivered the kind of attentive yet unobtrusive hospitality that transforms a meal into a memorable occasion. A standout touch was the tableside preparation of fresh guacamole, an interactive and flavorful beginning that underscored the restaurant’s commitment to freshness and quality.
The Fajita Plate: A masterclass in simplicity and flavor. Arrived as a carefully curated composition of textures and tastes. The beef skirt steak was cooked to absolute perfection - tender, moist, and infused with a smoky richness that only expert grilling can achieve.
Accompanying the star of the plate were Frijoles a la Charra and Spanish rice, both executed with balance and depth, serving as the ideal companions to the beef. A fresh medley of crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and creamy avocado added a bright contrast, enhancing the plate’s overall appeal.
Alicia’s attentiveness extended to dessert, offering a thoughtful selection to close the meal. While I opted not to indulge this time, the mere gesture reflected the restaurant’s hospitality and dedication to a full dining experience.
Final Thoughts - In a city teeming with Tex-Mex options, Taqueria Amanda’s on Airline stands apart by honoring tradition with precision and care. From the lively ambiance to the flawless service and expertly executed cuisine, this establishment deserves recognition as a standout in Houston’s rich food scene. Whether you’re a devoted fan of Mexican fare or a first-time visitor, this is a spot worth savoring.
