Created by Burger Joint partners Chef Mathew Pak and Shawn Bermudez, The Taco Stand centers around traditional street-style meats such as pastor, barbacoa, lengua and carnitas.

The details

Located at 1503 Westheimer Road, the newest Taco Stand is the third location to open in Houston and is built out of a 1920s apartment building. According to an Oct. 29 news release, the spot is 2,101 square feet and includes a 1,000-square-foot patio. The Montrose outpost will also feature both dine-in and full drive-thru services.

“We’re excited to bring The Taco Stand to Montrose and to continue growing in the communities that have supported our concepts,” Bermudez said in the release. “This space reflects the same casual, welcoming energy that our guests love, with the added convenience of a drive-thru and a great Westheimer-facing patio.”

On the menu

In addition to traditional street-style meats, the menu offers fish, shrimp, vegan and vegetarian options. Customers can also order any choice of protein or vegetables served as a taco, burrito, quesadilla or bowl. The Taco Stand pairs dishes with five different house-made salsas, corn and flour tortillas.


Cocktails available include canned and frozen drinks, Mexican and domestic beers, margaritas, Palomas and Ranch Waters. Agua Frescas are also available.

The Taco Stand will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m., serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night items. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant will be open until 4 a.m.
