In a nutshell
Tacos A Go Go opened its first shop in Midtown almost 20 years ago. The company now has at least seven locations across Houston, including the two new announcements.
The restaurant's menu consists of classic tacos, such as ground beef, chicken fajita and bean and cheese, which are accompanied by authentic Mexican options, including pastor, carne guisada and lamb barbacoa. Veggie and seafood tacos are also available.
“I came to this country in 1991 with a dream of cooking the food I grew up with,” Chef and co-owner Maribel Gomez said. “To share those recipes here, in a place that has become my community, is a dream come true. Thirty years later, I’m proud to be doing what I love and grateful for the chance to bring people together with food that reminds me of home and hopefully makes them feel at home, too.”
According to the release, both locations will feature expanded space for fresh tortillas and Fajitas A Go Go family packs. The two new restaurants will also be the first companywide to include a full bar program.
Founder Sharon Haynes said she has always wanted to have a real bar inside Tacos A Go Go with margaritas, mezcal and Mexican cocktails.
"These two locations have the space for it, and when Bobby [Heugel] offered to help, we knew it was meant to be," she said. "Now we can offer an even better experience for our loyal fans—room to make fresh tortillas every day and serve Fajitas A Go Go family packs, along with a fun bar experience.”
Both locations are anticipated to open by the end of 2025. The White Oak Drive location in the Heights will relocate to the former Lola building on Yale Street.
More details are expected in the weeks ahead, per the release, including sneak peeks inside the new spaces and details on grand openings.
