Houston, TX
Harry currently ranks 5 tacos spots in Houston, scoring 79–87 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.
The tortilla is the floor and the filling is the argument. Harry wants masa pressed that day, meat with actual char, and salsa that was somebody's morning job. A great taco needs neither a plate nor an explanation — and no amount of crema fixes a filling that arrived in a bag.
