    We will travel 30 minutes for these tacos. I love the breakfast tacos and their salsa?? So fresh! The manga habanero is my favorite. I've even tried their lunch tacos & burritos and I highly recommend. Great portions for the price and they're fast and efficient! Thank you guys for providing great food!

    Great service always!!!! Try their breakfast tacos they are always generous with their servings. You never have to ask "where is the beef?". lol Nevertheless, those street tacos are a whole story on their own. My personal opinion, In Fort Bend County we're pretty limited when it comes to street food. Nevertheless, Tornado Taco has you covered. They have all sorts of tacos. Birria, breakfast tacos , lunch, dinner, etc. It's located at the cross streets of Murphy Road and Cartwright in Missouri City Texas. It's a small drive-thru restaurant that carries lots of flavor. Despite the size of it, it's pretty awesome and has a covered sitting area in the front and the back of the restaurant.. ohhhh ! wait a minute I forgot to mention there homemade mild and spicy salsas, absolutely delicious. They have this mango spicy, which is my favorite. Anyway, I hope y'all make it a point to stop by if not, enjoy and share with all your experience. If not you're missing out.

    This was a hidden gem for me! They have the BEST tacos. I had their breakfast tacos and they were perfect and so tasty. The bacon was crispy which is the way I like it. They are very reasonably priced. I also love the patio area. It is so cute and peaceful. I can't wait to come back

    On Sunday, November 3rd, at 7 p.m., Revathi, Vasundhra, Dalia, and Zaida set out for Tornado Taco, a drive-through Mexican spot tucked beside a gas station and across from a CBD shop in Stafford. The neighborhood was gritty, but Tornado Taco's rustic charm, with its twinkling fairy lights and open patio, offered a distinct vibe. Still, the lack of indoor seating and the sounds of sirens and frogs in the background made for a somewhat unusual dining ambiance. Revathi ordered a chicken burrito, packed with seasoned chicken, rice, beans, cheese, and fresh pico de gallo. She loved the balance of flavors and the spice level, rating the food a solid 9/10, though the ambiance dimmed her experience to an overall 6.5/10. Dalia went with the birria tacos, complete with consommé, onions, and cilantro. The consommé was richly seasoned but a bit oily, while the tacos themselves had great flavor, even without cheese, earning the meal an 8.5/10. Vasundhra tried the Mexican plate with shredded chicken, corn tortillas, seasoned potatoes, and queso. The shredded chicken was the highlight, but she found the queso a little "plasticky," giving the food a 7/10. Zaida ordered street tacos with horchata, and she had to wait for her drink to come with the food. She enjoyed the tacos' authentic flavors, rating her experience a 7/10 overall. In the end, Tornado Taco offered an intriguing mix of high-quality food in a fast-food-style setup. The outdoor-only seating was unique, but the surroundings detracted a bit from the experience. Still, for diners open to adventure, Tornado Taco has a bit of terrific tucked into its tacos. Final rating? A 3.5/5 for bold flavors with a side of rustic charm.

    Good tacos, line move fast. They give you a nice size portion of meat and potatoes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    I ordered the spicy ground beef nachos. When my food was handed to me, it was heavy! I've never had diced potatoes on nachos but that is a great addition! It was loaded with beef and cheese. There were no naked nachos For $8,99, I feel I got my money's worth! I was able to share with my bf and we still had nachos left over. It's almost like a second meal the next day; tortilla casserole. Taco Cabana nachos has nothing on Tornado Taco! I can't wait to try more of their menu items!

    Service is so quick here! They even have a small covered patio in the front to eat as well as a larger covered patio in the back to eat at as well. Prices are fair and portions are big! There is a drive thru also. Food is very good and flavorful! Will come back soon and try more menu items!
