Ysmael Gonzalez started this business 32 years ago, in 1994, out of a food trailer. This Bellaire location is the second one he opened, and it's the one our family still runs today.

The original Tacos La Bala trailer with the name hand-painted across the top, the founder standing beside it in a blue apron — The first trailer, finished. Tacos "La Bala", al estilo México.

Framed photo of the trailer under construction, a man on a step stool holding up the roof beam, with a handwritten note: así empezó Tacos La Bala — Building the trailer. The note on the photo reads, "This is how Tacos La Bala started."

Framed wall photos: the founder in a blue apron in the trailer doorway under the La Bala sign, and the trailer parked in an open lot with a striped awning and wooden stools — The trailer open for business, with the striped awning and a few stools. These photos still hang on the wall in Bellaire.

We know people say we're not the cheapest option in Bellaire. We'd rather be honest about that than pretend otherwise. The food costs what real ingredients cost.
