Rooted in Tradition.
Made for South Houston.
Since opening our doors in 2002, Taqueria La Favorita has been about one thing: real, unapologetic Mexican flavor. We aren't just a restaurant; we are a daily ritual for our community.
Proudly serving South Houston.
Located just down the street from our current location, Taqueria La Favorita first opened its doors in 2002. Since the very beginning, South Houston and the surrounding areas have been enjoying our authentic, delicious recipes.
Serving this community for over two decades has been an absolute honor. The unwavering support from our customers has allowed us to grow, but more importantly, it has allowed us to deeply align our menu with our roots, traditions, and Mexican culture. That cultural connection was the true beginning of Taqueria La Favorita’s lasting success.

Authentic
Authentic Recipes, Zero Shortcuts.
There is no substitute for doing things the right way. That means homemade tortillas crafted fresh every day. It means slow-cooking our barbacoa and carnitas until they are perfectly tender. It means rich, complex moles and sizzling parrilladas that turn heads when they walk through the dining room.
Every plate that leaves our kitchen carries the vibrant, bold flavors of Mexico, passed down and perfected to give you the ultimate culinary experience right here in Texas.
Main Character Energy.
It’s more than a meal. Between the beautiful murals, the upbeat music, and the clinking of icy micheladas, Taqueria La Favorita is where families laugh, friends catch up, and soccer fans cheer on their teams during the World Cup.
Weekend Rituals
South Houston knows where to go on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Our steaming hot Menudo and Pozole are local legends, made exactly how you crave them.
The Bar & Grill
A full bar experience featuring Mexican imported cervezas, vibrant margaritas, fresh aguas, and mangonadas with chamoy and Tajín.
Here for the Party
Whether you're grabbing a booth to watch the big game on our screens, or bringing La Favorita to your private event with our catering, we bring the energy.
