Get Ready for a Taco Fiesta on Westheimer

The wait is finally over for taco lovers in Houston. The third location of The Taco Stand is set to open on Thursday, October 30, at 6 am, and it’s expected to draw a crowd. Located on lower Westheimer, the new restaurant is likely to cause a bit of a traffic jam, but it’ll be worth the wait.

A New Addition to the Neighborhood

The Taco Stand is the brainchild of restaurateur Shawn Bermudez and chef Matthew Pak, who are also behind popular eateries like The Burger Joint, Happy Go Lucky, and the upcoming pizzeria The Pizza Place. The new location is situated in a converted apartment building at 1503 Westheimer Rd and features a 2,100-square-foot dining area and a 1,000-square-foot patio that looks out onto Westheimer.

A Casual and Welcoming Atmosphere

The restaurant’s interior is designed to reflect the same casual, welcoming energy as its siblings in the Heights and Webster. The familiar green-and-white color scheme is used throughout, and the addition of a drive-thru lane makes it easy for customers to grab their favorite tacos on the go. "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 a statement.

Menu Highlights

The Taco Stand is known for its street-style tacos, which are available for both dine-in and to-go. The menu features a range of fillings, including meaty options like pastor, carnitas, carne asada, and barbacoa, as well as seafood options like shrimp and fish. Vegan and vegetarian choices are also available, and all tacos are wrapped in housemade corn or flour tortillas. Customers can choose from five different salsas to pair with their tacos, ranging from mild to fiery.

More Than Just Tacos

In addition to its tacos, The Taco Stand also offers burritos, quesadillas, and bowls made with the same fillings. Breakfast tacos are served daily, and the restaurant’s frozen margaritas and canned cocktails use 100 percent blue agave tequila. Other beverage options include agua frescas, Mexican and domestic beers, and sodas.

What’s Next

The duo behind The Taco Stand has big plans for the future. A new location of The Burger Joint is set to open near Rice Village in early 2026, followed by the opening of both a new Burger Joint and a new Taco Stand near Memorial City Mall. The Pizza Place is also slated to open later in 2026.

Conclusion

The new location of The Taco Stand on Westheimer is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, offering a delicious and convenient dining option for taco lovers. With its casual atmosphere, extensive menu, and commitment to using high-quality ingredients, it’s sure to become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
