The service and staff here were amazing for handling a large group with split checks that all arrived and ordered at different times, so I would definitely give kudos for that. We ate at an awkward meal time (3pm) so the restaurant was pretty empty and could focus all of their attention on us. They got all the orders correct with the one off giving someone's order to someone else who ordered the same thing but much after, but that was to be expected. The food is manageable, but is it the best tex mex I've ever had, NO. I would dine here if its close to home, convenient, and you feel comfortable, but its definitely not for the memorable cuisine and food. read more

We had my son's rehearsal dinner here. The fajitas were amazing. The staff was excellent and made our evening special!

Cousin, sister, and I came here for authentic Mexican food during the Ramadan period--still ongoing. We were in euphoria at the varieties of vegetarian dishes, cheese enchiladas, and spinach and mushroom quesadillas. The varieties of sauces, served fresh and spicy, piqued our appetite--throughout the meal. Their chips come hot and warm, crispy and not too salty. Besides the traditional food, the managers and staff are always considerate and polite --they go the extra mile for their customers and find us the most comfy seating spots. Outstanding place. Amazing hospitality. read more

Food was delicious! We are pescatarian and had great options. I had the margarita flight and it didn't disappoint! We will be back when in Houston. We were sat quickly and staff was attentive and made recommendations. We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. read more

I hadn't been to Alicia's in a while. I was shocked at the changes. #1 they give you 1/2 cup of salsa with a small bowl of chips. I ordered chicken quesadillas. I thought maybe they gave me all cheese, but when I opened it there were very small bits of chicken. Nothing substantial! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! read more

Wanted to try a new mexican restaurant and the service was amazing had sample mezcal it was strong so had mango chipotle margaritas. One of the best restaurant food I've had, this tasted so good, like an home made dish, it was fresh and busting with flavors. I had fajita tacos appetizer queso fundido with fajita and my friend had fish tacos with cilantro rice and salad. Staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the drinks Definitely recommend checking it out!! read more

I don't live too far from here and been wanting to check it out. I love thin mexican tortilla chips and thats what they bring out, with just a bit of salt. The salsa was SPICY yet flavorful They have street tacos for $.199 (chicken) $2.50 (beef) on Tuesdays. I had 3 chicken with a small frozen margarita. I was nice and full afterwards. Probably because of the margarita. The tacos are small, 2 corn-shelled tacos with a strip of meat and onions so you may want to order another. Maurisco was our waiter and he was very personable and quick bringing everything out. I'll come back and try something else. I gave 4 stars because its a bit dim in there. I went around 6pm and it felt so dark. read more

I just moved into the neighborhood a couple months ago and have been trying area restaurants. So we did have to wait briefly a time or two for service, it was excellent nonetheless. Had one of the combo platters and a build your own dish, which we shared, both were very good. We'll definitely return. read more

Me gusta siempre ir a este lugar son muy amables y siempre te sirven de una forma alegre

This place is excellent! I do not understand the reviews. We had a big group. No one left unhappy

Very disappointed with how the staff handled our issue. We ordered chicken tenders for our 1 year old, and as we cut into it they were completely raw inside. I didn't think to take a picture because I'm not usually one to write reviews, but after how the manager handled it, I felt I needed to. They replaced it with grilled chicken but the manager tried to charge us for it unless we left it behind, without apologizing for how our meal came out. She was only worried about the bill. Poor customer service, especially from the manager. The waiter, on the other hand, was professional, very apologetic and handled the situation the best he could. read more

Great service and great food!!! Definitely got to try this place. Prices are good as well

Ordering was difficult because the server and I couldn't understand what the other was saying. I was asking if the the taco was ground beef or shredded beef, he said chunk. Basically it is carne asada. The meat was really tender and flavorful. The cheese enchilada was also really good. I enjoyed the salsa it had some spice but not overwhelming. It was really slow when I was there so it was really quiet. read more

Service was weird, very weird server. Not that great food. Ambiance was okay, def a drinking place

Food is delicious!! I always use refried beans as a benchmark for a good texmex restaurant. I know it sounds silly but, It's the simple things that can be the hardest to do properly.. Their refried beans passed my "bean taste test." But, seriously, I had enchiladas suizas it was very good. We shared the nachos and my aunt loved the nachos. We wish more people were dining there. Maybe if they had an open sign or a lighted Marque/sign. read more

Service was good the restaurant is cute inside and clean, but the food is awful. I did like the salsa and queso but the beef fajita tacos and tilapia tacos were not good at all not even to just eat and just not come back. We sent back our whole plate back and now we're gonna have to go somewhere else to eat. It's to bad we wanted to try something I'm out area. read more

Slightly pricier than many Tex-Mex restaurants, but worth every extra penny. Fresh chips and spicy salsa get you started. $5 happy hour margaritas and cold draft beer are served promptly. Fajitas were served sizzling hot and the enchiladas were a hit too. Excellent service and a clean, quiet dining room makes Alicia's a good bet for Tex-Mex fans. read more

The taco Tuesday special was $1.25 per taco but now it's $2 per taco. That's not a deal imo. The margaritas are always too sweet. The manager who's normally at the front can be very rude and snobby. Overall the food and drinks aren't all that especially for the price. Take your $$ elsewhere. read more

The food is nice. I mostly order caldo de pollo or pick 3. I usually order to go, but will rarely eat inside. No particular reason besides I am usually busy. The staff is friendly and welcoming! read more

Dined here a couple of times. Good food, nice atmosphere. Tonight was my last night dining here. Black customers beware. While dining the chip and salsa lady gave us our chips upon seating. As my table dining went on, we needed more chips and salsa and waited and waited and... the chips and salad girl seemed to only give a refill chips and salsa and drink refills to white customers. I did bring this up to the host and told the host that our server did assist us but I did notice this about their co worker. When the manager made her rounds I told the manager same story I had told the host. The manager response to me was to tell my server if I needed more chips. No acknowledgment. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Wanted to try something new for lunch I ordered a lunch special over the phone so I could just stop by and pick it up the lady at the front was rushing me while I ordered didn't take my name or nor tell me the time frame it would take the Hispanic lady with bangs when I got there she had charged me for 2 meals and a drink when I only ordered 1 after a few minutes of back and forth I had to show her what I called to order for her to understand that was fixed and then she came with my order I asked nicely were there spoons etc in the bag just double checking she had a rude look on her face and yelled " YEA YEA " very dismissive the food ended up giving me food poisoning and I have been sick a full 24 hours now can't keep anything in or down this was the only thing I had ate so I know it's from the restaurant needless to say I will NOT be returning the enchiladas tasted watery and poor quality I've had better without the stomach aches & rude hostess read more

I give this place a 3 star because although the food is delicious it is not much different than anywhere else but the prices are out of this world! They are really proud of their food and have priced it out of my budget for common fare I can get somewhere else for a cheaper price. It's generally quiet here. read more

Chips and salsa was great! Food portion was amazing. I didn't get a printed copy of bill. I requested for it via email.

Upon entrance, We were seated in a very tight corner and the hostess did a very bad judgment call about placing two big guys in a tight corner. We simply asked to move and she said okay. Cool. So we moved and then we waited for approximately 5 minutes before, I assume, the manager came to help us. We didn't see a single server within that time either. The manager then asked us what we'd like to drink and we gave her our order. Probably 2-3 minutes later another severe came to ask us what we wanted for our drinks. (That shows me that they have no communication with each other) Upon receiving our drinks, the margarita was watered down and literally had no alcohol, tasted mostly of sugars. Being a bartender, so I know how much alcohol is supposed to be in a margarita. My michelada was served with Valentina hot sauce, rather than a michelada mix and I asked for Tajín but was given salt instead. I waited for another glass that would have tajin but even then, they lazily put the glass together, barely any tajin. Then we get to the menu.... Yall when I saw its overpriced, it's DEFINITELY over priced. I saw the food of the other patrons and the food QUALITY is NOT there. Seems to be another failed chain restaurant. Improvement? Communication. Communication would play a BIG factor there. It doesn't matter how upset you are with each other, everyone there is there to run a business. Seemed to be some tension there, that's why I say that. Other than that, the place was nice. read more

My wife saw the pics and reviews for this location of Alicia's and i'm glad she talked me into a visit. She got the lunch menu build a meal, pick two items from their list, she got two ground beef enchiladas and it came with rice and her choice of barracho beans. Amazing enchiladas. I got the beef fajitas for one over a bed of still sizzling onions, super tasty and tender, this came with my choice of refried beans and rice, guacamole and pico de gallo. They serve good crisp tortilla chips with two kinds of red sauce....both great enhancements for everything on our table. We showed up about ten minutes after they opened and we had the place to ourselves....the service by Cesar was as good as the food...we'll be back. read more

Like a real Texan I judge all tex-mex restaurants on the quality of their chips and salsa. The red table salsa they bring is good, it's taste like pico de gallo, but the green salsa that I had to request was amazing. I ordered the mixed fajitas and they were delicious! They came with fresh flour tortillas, beans and rice. My husband had the cowboy plate which consisted of flank steak, two large shrimp, two cheese enchiladas, beans and rice. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were really good, not overly oily like some places. Overall, it's a solid restaurant and I'll definitely return for my next tex-mex craving! read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. Service was slow. Food took 30min before it was served. The restaurant smelled like bleach. I ordered a chili relleno which was greasy and flavorless. Would not return. read more

I'd give this place 3.5 stars. Nothing was really wrong but we've had better. Our service was great though. She was very friendly and checked on us through out dinner. My husband said the chicken in his dish was plain and dry. I had the fajitas and was so excited when I saw the onions were actually cooked but they were stuck to the bottom of the skillet which made them burnt. read more

Alicia's Mexican Grille - Chicken Fajita Alicia - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Today was my first time at Alicia's. We had a great waiter named Caesar that was soo attentive and very sweet. I ordered two margaritas during happy hour and boyyyyy was I tipsy!! Lol for my appetizer I got the large queso. I will say the cheese was VERY thick and we had to use the chips from our salsa which was too thin and kept breaking the dip. So either we need thicker chips for the queso or the cheese needs a bit more milk or something to loosen it up. I ordered a half shrimp half beef quesadilla and it was delicious (you can really mess that up lol). For dessert I got the sopapilla, which came with a decent amount (8) and a tiny scoop of ice cream. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it wasn't bad either. Overall the food was about a 3.5 but we had great service so my experience was 4 stars. read more

Awesome place and the food is so delicious especially the chicken soup I would recommend this place

ISiempre me ha gustado Alicia's, la comida allí es simplemente deliciosa y no puedo tener suficiente. Cuando voy siempre compro un burrito o enchiladas de queso. Mi familia y yo siempre asistimos a las comidas después de la iglesia y es simplemente genial. El servicio al cliente y huele increíble. Se lo recomiendo a cualquiera que busque una parrilla mexicana. read more

The food was really bad and service was terrible don't waste your money and your time here

This place was a 50/50 the food was delicious but the drinks didn't do it for me. The staff were very attentive and patient. I had the beef fajitas that came with rice & beans & my wife had the mixed fajitas with a side order of shrimp. Pros: Delicious food Cool atmosphere Cons: Subpar drinks Not enough rice! Usually restaurants give you a nice size serving of rice but this place gave like a half of a cup. read more

Chips and Salsa are excellent. Chimichanga was good (ordered half chicken and half beef and got way more chicken) Queso is very bland and not a must have here. Probly make better at home if I am being honest. At least I believe it is real cheese. Refried Beans and rice are bland and the rice texture is off to me. Service was good and my needs were met. However this is with Covid so I am curious as to how they perform during normal meal service. read more
