C & D Grocery

One of my coworkers showed me this place and I have to say it’s pretty cool on the inside. If I didn’t know about this place I might drive past it without giving it a double look but the food is good and the people are nice. They even have a bakery inside and a lot of cool little things to look at inside this grocery store/​bakery/​taqueria. The Mexican fajita tacos are good and I ordered mine with cheese I just wish they put more cheese. I went around 1 but I hear it’s best to go early because the food is more fresh. But overall a pretty nice experience and a good place to go to if you’re ever in Baytown.

Oh how I wish I could give C&D 5 stars. They make some of the best tacos in the world. I’ve had dreams about their tacos and woken up drooling. This is a regular Saturday morning occurrence for us. We’re regulars and I won’t stop coming but I’ve got a few issues with the food. Sometimes C&D’s can be a «hit or miss» kinda place.
We always order the same thing; 6 fajita beef tacos with cheese and pico de gallo in them. The pico is spicy and is tomatoes with onions and bell peppers. Definitely adds a great kick to the tacos. A few times they’ve forgotten it and I was straight up eating a bland ass fajita taco. A few times there has been SO much fat in my taco beef that I chewed for a good five minutes like a damn cow. They’ve also forgotten the «liquid cheese» a few times and the tacos were almost inedible and definitely flavorless.
If these problems stopped happening, I might be able to bump the rating up. These tacos are inexpensive, filling and delicious when prepared right.
Pro tip: CALL AHEAD AND ORDER. If not, hope you’ve got 20 minutes to spare to stand and wait!

I will never go back. My order was completely wrong and then the manager got an attitude about me wanting it fixed. Why would I pay for wrong food? The service sucks. I’ll take my money elsewhere. Plenty of places in baytown to get a greasy taco.

The best tacos in the world! Come here every weekend for breakfast. Mexican egg with bacon, rice, and cheese every time. You can’t go wrong with C&Ds when you want a good taco and 1 taco fills you up.

The old lady and I went out to try and find a good breakfast taco place today in our new town (Baytown). This place is great, and we never would have found out about without the great powers of Unilocal guiding us.
C&D is definitely what you would call a «hole in the wall», a place where they do things there way, and they do them well. I had a couple of tacos with the Mexican eggs (scrambled eggs with pico in the eggs), spicy potatoes, bacon, and cheese. The old lady had the standard bacon, egg, and cheese. It was all good… the best part was definitely the tortillas.
If you’re looking for a good breakfast taco in Baytown, then look no further. We were there a little after they opened and by the time we got our tacos the line was getting long. Get there early or be ready to wait.

Best tacos ever I now live 8 hours away and miss this so much the owner was usually taking orders an the barbacoa is to die for.
Wish I could get that recipe, fresh torts and great selection in the bakery!

I was raised on these tacos!!!
Just like most Lee Rebels I stopped every morning before school to get my fix. Teachers back then even let us show up late to class as long as we brought them tacos too. Coach so and so, Health Class.
I’ve been all over the world and haven’t found anything that compares. I do miss the Turkish pizzas in Budingen, Germany, but not half as much as C&D’s. Besides my son it’s the only thing worth going back to Baytown for. And I always take him with me when I visit. He knows what I’m talking about. MmmMmm Good. I even dated a little Mexican señorita that I met behind the counter. I’m white and she didn’t speak English.
Best relationship I ever had LOL.
My order for the last 20 yrs. is as follows. Step up to the counter «2 Tacos with Mexican eggs (has Pico in it already), Spicy Potatoes, 2 pieces of Bacon, Cheese (some melted cheese they squirt out of a bottle), hot sauce & PICO»!!
Stop and grab a pineapple soda and a small bag O funyuns on your way to the cashier and your done for the next several hours.
The cashier will give you a few paper towels for clean up you can use if your not a pro. I suggest eating them immediately outside the grocery at a table and visit with other patrons. Mmmmm I’m visiting in a couple weeks. See you there!

Inconsistency is the story with this Baytown landmark. I’ve come to accept that as one of the quirks. There’s absolutely no quality control. Sometimes i can’t believe that the Earth could contain a breakfast taco so perfect. Other times I can’t find my way away from the toilet. I haven’t died yet though. Roll the dice and give it a go. I recommend the spicy potato and machacado.

I have tried a lot of tacos all over the great nation of Texas, and this is one of the best. The tacos are just amazing. They have a huge selection of tacos for every taste out there. The bakery is amazing too!
The cost is very cheap, at $ 1.50 per taco. The bakery items are also surprisingly cheat as well.
You will find a line in the morning as this is THE only place for breakfast tacos east of Houston.

Any time im in Baytown this is where i stop! Owner is friendly and usually taking orders. Everything is fresh and the hot sauce is drinkable! You can not beat the price either! Comfort food for sure!

Hit and miss ! Some times they have the best Mexican food you are likely to find. Sometimes you pay and leave and think to yourself I will never come back.

This place looks like a hole and kind of is. In the way that all the glorious greasy spoons do. It looks dingy but its not dirty. Everything is made here. Great tortillas and tamales. The pico is HOT. There’s a HUGE selection of traditional Mexican pastries. The burritos are greasy and f***ing awesome. The lines can get long but the staff is FAST. It’s always a good sign when the parking lot is packed with construction and fire trucks. This place makes the hearty soul food of the working man.

Very RUDE people, food was cold and poorly prepared, I started going there 20 years ago in highschool, the past year, it all started to go downhill and now is awfull!!!

Well it was my first time going here and it looked like just any old grocery store. Then we walked in and walked to the back where i saw all the baked sweet bread and the ladies making tacos. I ordered two flour tortilla tacos with potato bacon and egg i grabbed a canned sprite and sat outside. The tacos were stuffed and delicious and i enjoyed them. Yay i’m a fan!

One simply does not come here if they’re on a diet, BUT every once in a while, I think its okay to indulge in one of their greasy tacos wrapped around a warm, homemade flour tortilla.
Not only is C&D known for their deliciously, dangerous, greasy tacos but this Mexican mini store is equipped with their own bakery and taco shop.
The store itself is painted very colorful outside (you can’t miss it) and once inside, you notice pictures of what I assume to be the owner of this establishment with many famous Hispanic athletes, as well as several of what seem to be, his children and/​or grandchildren — well his family in general.
The bakery offers you a small range of your typical Mexican pan dulce and right next to the glass display cabinet, you’ll find the lineup of meats such as fajitas, barbacoa, carne asada and even chicharróns con chile. They also have other fillers such as rice, beans, bacon, nacho cheese, and your common red and green sauces.
If you have an opportunity to swing by in the morning, be prepared to stand in line for their coveted breakfast tacos filled with the usual eggs and ham, eggs and potatoes, and even barbacoa.
What really makes these tacos standout is the fact, that they use homemade flour tortillas.
However, over the past few years, they have had an issue with management and for a while there, they were D&D but apparently, they are back to C&D. Hopefully, they can exceed their expectations and get back on track.
Last but not least, reason why I like stopping by C&D is because they offer all the local Spanish newspapers in conjoined stands; helping moi from running around town to get each one.
So thanks C&D!

This place has really gone down hill. My team at work wanted me to stop in and get breakfast tacos for everyone. The whole team thought that I had stopped somewhere else to buy them because they were so bad. I don’t know what has happened but I will not be back.

Ok so lately this place has just gone down hill. Several people ordered there meal in a box (instead of a tortilla) and it was literally covered in ½ inch of grease. Maybe it is the cheese (from a can) they use but really was was not edible. Even on the Tacos the scrambled eggs seem to be swimming in grease. How much grease do you need to scramble eggs? I have started passing when they go to this place for breakfast. There are several other places close by that offer the same thing but that look much more fresh and less greasy. Nothing wrong with grease but too much of a good ting is just bad.

This little pink building is hands down THE place to be in Baytown for an awesome breakfast taco. Tacos are made with homemade flour tortillas, loaded down with anything you want and so huge they should be burritos. Good stuff! If you want pico de gallo on the side you got it baby! And the bakery is out of this world too serving up pastries the size of my 2 year old’s head! They also serve Community Coffee, bonus! I’d give it 6 stars if I could. It’s now called D&Ds.

I consider C&D Grocery one of Baytowns hidden gems!!! Now I dont know much about Baytown other than I work there and a few restaurants that we tend to frequent When you first hire on the one place they tell you that you must know is C&D’s. I was liike umm I’ll get what you get.
O boy it was love at first bite. Bean, cheese, american sausage with spicy potato. The people are beyond nice and they even have a bakery inside thats a plus. Also its open really early O my to be able to get off at 5am on a weekend and to be have a place to get fresh breakfast tacos is awesome. On the Eastside C&D’s hands down have the best breakfast tacos!

I can’t believe there are no reviews for this place yet! It’s one highlight to make your visit to Baytown suck a little less.
It’s a little pink house with a line out the door on the weekends, so you know it must be good. It’s listed as Grocery, but it’s not much of a grocery store. Go here for their tacos and bakery. I live in the land of breakfast tacos, and I still buy extra carne guisada tacos here to bring home and freeze.
It’s helpful if you can speak Spanish when ordering here, but not absolutely necessary. Just know that when you order a bean and cheese taco, it will be labeled F&Q in your to-​go bag.
