Reviewers at Brothers Taco House rave about the breakfast tacos, calling them a warm, hearty start to the day. The overall vibe is one of comforting, no-fuss satisfaction.
“These three different breakfast tacos from Brothers are some of the best in Houston. They make all of their tortillas in-house. The subtleness of the beans in there is excellent. The chorizo one is excellent too. I'm going to put it in the sauce as well. They open as early as 5:00 a.m. on a weekday. These three tacos with the sauces came to $9, which is insanely cheap. That is as wholesome and as nourishing a breakfast as anyone needs in Texas. Egg, cheese, meats, hot sauce in a beautiful home-cooked flour tortilla. What a way to start the day.”
