Our Story
Welcome to El Takonero #2, Houston's home for authentic street-style Mexican food. Nestled on South Loop East, we bring the bold, unapologetic flavors of the taqueria straight to southeast Houston and beyond. Every dish we serve is crafted with care, using time-honored recipes and fresh ingredients that honor our Mexican culinary roots.
Our menu is built around the flavors that bring people together - from our legendary Super Quesabirria, a giant birria-filled quesadilla dripping with melted mozzarella and served alongside a rich, aromatic consomé, to our loaded Papa Asada piled high with your choice of meat, Colby Jack cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro. Whether you're craving a classic Gordita stuffed with refried beans and cheese, a hearty Torta loaded with avocado, lettuce, and tomato, or a simple Quesadilla Chica for a quick bite, we've got something for every appetite.
At El Takonero #2, we believe great food doesn't need fancy presentation - it needs soul. That's why our customers keep coming back: for the real deal, no shortcuts, no compromises. We're proud to serve the Houston community and surrounding neighborhoods including Hobby, Gulfgate, Pecan Park, and Eastwood with flavors that make every meal feel like a celebration.
