    A little hidden restaurant where you'd least expect it. So heads up it's through a door that will take you down stairs to a food court. These tacos were made with love and be careful that chile is spicyyyy but delish. The consome was perfectly made with a sason! The hubs got the fries combo (sorry forgot the name) and I did not think I would like it and it also had a unique blend that will satisfy your taste buds.

    My husband and I just happen to be near the Underground Hall looking for some place to eat, so we decided to go in, my husband tried some place that he didn't like. I decided to try Birria Los primos, Birria always calls me, I ordered two Birria tacos, and a Birria soup. The staff is very nice and friendly. The place is pretty cool, reminded me of The Post food hall. I got a time buzzer and the food came out pretty quick. The tacos come with double corn tortilla, with a generous portion of tender meat, onion and cilantro, fresh cucumber and radish slices, pretty good tacos! The consomé was flavorful and meaty just like I like it, and I was really happy with the size also. I would definitely recommend getting the 12oz I ordered with the tacos. Good experience at Birria Los primos!

    Located in the Undrground Food Hall. This place is one of several vendors. We ordered two birria tacos. They were gone in a flash. Maybe we should have ordered more? Enjoy!

    1 Gringa taco with Adobada (pork) and extra cheese on top. 1 Cup of elote. 1 Mexican Coke.

    Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!! I would recommend this spot! I don't know how long they have been here, but this was my first time trying them out. They are located in the Underground Food Hall, a great place to get some food and hangout. I went after an event on a Wednesday night an it was a nice crowd inside. One restaurant had a long line because only one person was staffed, so I decided to give BLP a try. When I quickly glanced at their menu I saw Gringas on there so I had to try them! I was greeted by the gentleman and the young lady that was working and cooking behind the counter. I asked some questions and decided to try 1 Gringa with Asada. Now I'm used to seeing gringas made grilled closed like a smaller quesadilla, but they make theirs open like a taco. Either way I was still fine with trying it. The asada was some nice steak strips like full of flavor and that cheese... OMG! Was SO good!! So I went back to get more! This time they had the long line lol. This time I ordered another gringa with the Adobada (pork) togo, a Mexican Coke and a cup of elote. I ate the elote while I was there and it was perfection! You would think all elote would be good but some places truly put in the extra effort to make theirs taste better. This one was just right for me! The staff were so friendly, patient and helpful. I really enjoyed talking with them and would definitely be back when I'm on Main wanting tacos!

    The churros were great too!

    Stopped by for a quick dinner a s Birria Los Primos did not disappoint. The location is downstairs with multiple other eateries, with open seating. The young gentleman worked the cashier and cooked was super friendly and helpful with the menu. Thr queso birria tacos are thr way to go. It was very taste and the prices were not bad. I also got the mango aqua Fresca. Also very refreshing. I asked if the cashier if the churros were worth getting. He said he likes them and I'm glad I got them because it was hot and delicious. Overall, friendly service, great food, good prices.

    While waiting on a resy for lunch nearby, we ordered the 3 birria taco plate. It was 3 of us, so we just split the tacos 1 each. They're adequately priced, came up hot and fresh. I will say that for a quick as the tacos came up they were DELICIOUS! Flavorful and the consume wasn't greasy it was very good. This is a place I'd come back to try other items. Service was ok.

    Thank you for welcoming us in and for the delicious crispy & juicy birria tacos. We will be back. Loved the music and big TVs, great place to be with good company.

    The food and service was amazing! The cashier/server who served us was named Joseph and he was really attentive to our order and made sure that everything we needed was provided. He went above and beyond which was great! Also, look at this amazing food!!! The ambiance was chill because it was in the Underground which is a cool place to escape the Houston heat and get some good food.

    Entrance is camouflaged among windows and doors to street level places. Find the door with 1010 above and that will take you to the bustling basement where 4 eateries share a common albeit cramped dining area, including Primo's. I got the birria trio tacos ($12) and they give you a small "pager" to carry. The entree was ready in less than 10 min (Sun evening) and came with a little cup of tasty au jus to dip each taco in. While meat portions were "decent" the tacos are barely 3 inches so, overall, it left me yearning for more. There's a dessert cart upstairs, right inside the front door before heading downstairs. Alas, I was successfully able to resist the carb rush that late (8pm). The two youths were not engaging at all but manned this establishment by themselves. Tables and floors are all sticky. Cooling is by giant horizontal floor fan. Tip: walk up Main (not Fannin where you'll pass dozens of displaced individuals, too many of them sadly high/tripping/yelling).

    Conveniently located within the underground hall so there's other food options, bar with drinks, games and a great vibe! We came on a Saturday at 6 and just beat the rush. The street parking is free starting at 6 on Saturday's. However, they offer happy hour certain weekdays until six - pick your preference! The hall started to get busier as we left hy 7. We both ordered the quesibirria trio tacos and they were sooooo good. The meat is so tender and it has the perfect level of spice!! I loved it. We ordered extra to go because we liked them so much!

    This place was dynamite! We accidentally stumbled upon them while looking for a different venue in the same area. What a happy accident! The tacos were absolutely delicious and fresh. It was my first time getting birria tacos and I do believe I'm hooked! Their churros were amazing as well. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Amazingly they stayed hot throughout our entire meal. I will definitely be back to explore the menu.

Arrived on Sunday evening around 7:30. Was sat immediately. Not my first time here so I knew the menu, my friends did not. So they needed time to see what drinks they wanted because they like cocktails and the menu is not small and they had to choose which ones they wanted because the options are good. When they decided, the cocktails straggled out. Two came out but the other two did not, They just sat at the bar as my friends sat with there with their drinks in front of them waiting on ours so we can toast to a wonderful day with a new member of the group. You would have thought the other staff would step in or at least the bartender would see that the waiter was in the weeds and needed help. That's when I knew we should have not come. The food was all lukw warm. The appetizer of queso was like warm with chunks of cheese floating around and some of the chips were fresh and others stale. A mixed bag you can say. My Flautas where luke warm, so was the side of beans and rice. My friends said their tacos were okay. My friend who got the Caesar Salad, there was no dressing on the salad not was there a side of dressing that came with it. We had to ask for it. I did not have the energy to try to keep wrangling the waiter. If you want to shut the kitchen down early because the day was long I get it. Let the customer know, I get it. I used to wait tables to but I would never give people luke warm food or luke service. The staff seems not to have one anothers back. I did not eat my food, I took my food home to reheat it so I could eat it at the proper temperature. My friend took his salad home because he had more Caesar dressing at home. Left a bad taste in my mouth and very disappointed. The service and food from the last time compared to this visit was night and day. Total miss. $200.00 thrown away. I paid because I could not let my friends waiste there money on someplace I raved about. Maderas is really a small cute spot. It's rare I have bad service when I go out to eat because I am not a difficult customer and I know I am not the only one they are serving. I will wait for good food and sit back and enjoy the atmosphere and my friends until it arrives. I would not put pressure on the staff or the kitchen. Also I will not arrive just before closing and make a resteraunt and it's staff stay open late because I am hungry. I rather come when the staff and the restaurant wants to recieve customers.

At brunch, the papas bravas come as small cubes of fried potato with an airy crunch that gives way to a soft, pillowy center - the kind of deeply satisfying bite that makes conversation briefly irrelevant. Crisp prosciutto adds salt, aioli brings richness, and smoky chile sauce keeps it lively. They're served with cactus-handled toothpicks, which are almost offensively adorable. The chilaquiles divorciados are another hit. The chips are dressed with salsa rather than drowned beneath it, so each one arrives ready for the perfect bite. It's a small distinction, but an important one. Then there are the enfrijoladas: rolled quesadillas in fluffy tortillas, covered in creamy black bean sauce and plated with more care than bean and cheese might seem to warrant. The dish is fundamentally simple, but that's the point. Soft tortilla, savory beans, melted cheese, bright salsa. Familiar ingredients transformed into something deeply comforting--the culinary equivalent of curling up beneath a warm blanket on a cold morning, even if Houston rarely provides one. Dinner shifts into another gear. The crudos are sensational, especially the tuna tiradito - a rolling wave of flavor and texture. The tacos are excellent across the board, but the crispy maitake mushrooms are unmatched. The short ribs arrive juicy and tender on a mole negro that doesn't sit politely in the background. It lands dark, complex, and full of flavor. And then there's the masa cornbread, a masterpiece of unapologetic indulgence. Humble cornbread meets savory-sweet mole, smoky, earthy butter, and caviar. It sounds like too much. It isn't. Every element earns its place. The cocktails deserve their own warning. They're the kind that convince you to keep ordering the same drink all night. By the end, you may have forgotten what was in it. What you'll remember is that it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and exactly what you needed.

The experience started poorly with the valet attendants, whom we found to be rude, dismissive, and very unprofessional. It was such an unpleasant first impression that my wife and I mentioned it to the hostess when we went inside. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The hostess seemed completely unconcerned about our experience and simply informed us that the wait for a table was approximately two hours. While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.

It's in the Museum District/Montrose area, so pretty accessible and with plenty of parking. We got seated immediately, and there was a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating, the latter of which was great even on a humid day. The menu was pretty extensive with your Tex-Mex classics like fajitas and enchiladas, with a special for every day of the week. This time was a free upgrade to a large fajita, so I went with the chicken fajitas! It came out after about 20 minutes with all of the fixings and this very yummy buttery sauce. I haven't had too many fajitas, but I'm pretty confident this is a top spot!

    More like Can't Dente…read more Not a fan. The food actually isn't bad, by any means, it's just not my thing. I'm not into Tex-Mex. Houston has some of the greatest Mexican food in the world, and for me Tex-Mex never compares. But of course it is beloved by some Houstonians, plenty of Texans and lots of tourists, and as far as Tex Mex goes, Candente (where I've only eaten 3 times) is around average. A little higher priced and higher end than some of the busier and more well known local chains, but similar in quality and bland taste. The Fajitas are my fave thing on the menu, but nothing to write home about. The reason I took off a star (was going to give 3) is because of some personal issues I have with them. When picking up an order here, you get a notification to say, come to the store. That happens to me when I pick up take out in a lot of places, these days, and when I do, it is either ready, or it takes 5 more min or 10 more min (because they mark it ready when it is not. Generally I'm okay with it, if it's less than 10 min. Candente? 20 min or 30 min. Even when it's not busy. They'll mark orders as ready (to make themselves look efficient I imagine) even when they are completely dead, and then will not actually start cooking the order until you get there to pick it up (I know, because I see people come in at the same time I'm there to pick up, order a similar thing, and 20-30 min theirs and mine comes out at a similar time). So just frustrating, is all. The owner is a Texan guy from Kingwood, he also owns the Pit Room BBQ nearby, which is similarly very fancy and successful. Don't let my bad experiences here put you off from trying it. If you want a list of real Mexican gems (and mostly dirt cheap), ask me, but you won't find any Tex Mex on there at all, to be honest. Just not my thing, in the same way that I think American Chinese take away has nothing on Chinese Chinese, such as Sichuan or Xi'an or Hunan cooking.
