    Birria Taco Birria Soup
    Vivian H.

    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 Birria Taco plate!!

    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.

    This place has Amazing food and great service. Definitely a must visit when you're in the area.

    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).

    Quesabirria Trio
    Kayla L.

    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!

    Birria Tacos with salsa and consome
    Bobby B.

    Oh Boy, the birria tacos were the REAL DEAL and by far the best tacos I've eaten in Houston. They were served with a delicious salsa and a wonderful consome that I dipped the tacos in. Located in the underground hall, this is a small establishment, but the service was great. The tacos are every bit as good as the ones I've gotten in Mexico City from street vendors. Please try these tacos; you won't be disappointed.

    Churros
    Renee B.

    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.

    I liked that I could order online for pickup right around the corner from the hotel I stayed at . They're very strict on producing an email confirming you ordered food, and it says so on the website so that's fine . The guy at the checkout had an attitude , took him a while to even acknowledge me. I enjoyed the birria ramen, however I didn't know I was paying $12 just for meat because that's all it was , @ $2 tapatio ramen and birria meet but it was really good, pico and guacamole was amazing too. What I didn't like was the birria bowl. Comes with refried beans , birria meet , rice , limes , salsa etc . The bowl was horrible . Dry rice, hard beans and the meat was okay , that was a waste of money for sure . I'd order the tacos and other things next time because I could tell this place has great potential.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

The restaurant has an intimate indoor space and adjacent covered patio. Both were already full when we arrived which created a lively atmosphere. The inside was so tasteful - small but moody and warm! I'd definitely recommend a reservation for the weekends! We started with the aguachile de camaron as a starter and WOW my husband cannot stop talking about this dish. The perfect blend of textures and flavors - this will be a must for us every visit. We have had our eyes on the 5-course Chef Tasting Menu for $49 + the optional beverage pairing for $30. The experience felt more than fair for the price, especially by Houston standards. Each course felt thoughtful and slightly boundary-pushing, yet really approachable. My partner and I have been on a bit of a mole kick recently, so were very excited for the hanger steak with truffle mole. It absolutely delivered and would love to order this again! We were also heavily drawn to the tuna tartare starter, masa cornbread, and tres leches. The wine and drink parings were perfect and not too fruity. The brut rose was a perfect way to start and I always love a mezcal cocktail. I highly recommend anyone visiting to start with this Tasting Menu and leave the stress in the hands of Chef Adrian Torres! We had the pleasure of chatting with him briefly after our meal and were so impressed with his story and clear excitement he brings. The rest of the staff were equally kind and really added to the evening! Side note: We had the pleasure to attend Maximo's Cinco de Mayo block party and were so impressed by the community involvement bringing in local vendors and live music.

We also got the "Tiradito de Hamachi" crudo, which was fresh and delicious! For the entree, my friend and I shared the tacos (which comes with your choice of 3). We added an extra taco to make it 4. I was genuinely shocked that the mushroom taco ended up being my favorite because I almost always prefer meat, but it was THAT good. The fried shrimp taco was also amazing. For dessert, we got the tres leches cake. I'm usually not a huge fan of strawberry or fruit toppings on desserts, but the cake itself was really, really good. I ended up just removing the strawberries and eating the cake, which was moist and flavorful. The only downside for me was the drinks. They looked larger than they actually were because of the glassware, and they tasted a little watered down. I had two, and they just weren't very strong or super flavorful. Other than that though, the food and service absolutely made up for it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
