Everything was delicious. The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is the wait times for the food. But none of my guests cared…everyone loved it!

Owner, Mingo’s Latin Kitchen

When I decided to start Mingo’s Latin Kitchen, I was in the process of changing my career path from banking/lending to a kitchen role. Financially it was a risk to save money and also borrow money to purchase my food truck. Career wise I never thought that I would fail but I did always have a Plan B, if the food truck business did not work out then I could always go back to banking/lending due to my over 10 years of experience.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Houston, so booking early gives you the best selection.
