    Cozy dining space

    Conveniently located just across the street from the hospital and a godsend at 7am for coffee and breakfast. Lunch here is tasty also. Staff if super friendly and the ambiance is relaxed with up beat music.

    My friend recommended me to Bodegas Taco Shop because it's near the zoo. I think it was fairly good to eat here as many elites gave 4 stars or above. Considering we came before the lunch rush hour. We were lucky to find parking right in front of the restaurant. Well, I had to pay at zone 47744. The restaurant was pretty clean at that time. But the cashier was throwing ice cubes at the line workers. They exchanged words in Spanish. Ah, so playful. Food came out and I didn't pay attention to see when we got our taco plates . But the beans and rice were in tiny portions like in sauce cups. I guess the portion was okay. The beans were soupy, fork can't get everything from the cup. So, I chugged down into my mouth. Tacos were tasty. I had grilled fish with avocado tacos. My friend had enchiladas and a salad. We enjoyed the atmosphere because we were the only customers at the restaurant.

    straight to the point tex-mex. the tex-mex basics is really all we need in life. the staff seemed liked they just were unhappy, which is sad. but the food was good, despite everyones sad faces. the layout of the restaurant is very strange and doesn't follow a natural energy layout.. and its pretty dark in there, even during the day. i would definitely recommend sitting outside. do not order the happy hour margaritas... they are too sour. but other than that tiny complaint, i would definitely recommend visiting or ordering takeout. bonné appétit c.

    #5 Fish Tacos
    Angelica C.

    Great lunch spot for the family/friends if you're hungry coming back or going to the park! It was a beautiful day so we ate outside in the patio. My fish taco combo plate was delicious. Avocado slices on top are a must. The fish was grilled perfectly. The only thing I disliked were the prices- $15 for my taco plate! Eek. This is why I hardly eat out. Otherwise if you're in the area, I would recommend this place if you're craving good Mexican food.

    Chicken Enchilada
    Serra M.

    I was introduced to this location by a bike group and this is often their pit stop. I had a chance this week to stop by again and I always order the Chicken Enchilada plate. This time I tried the Cadillac Margarita with a top shelf tequila of your choice. Parking is not great, but they do have a parking garage. I recommend parking on the street. They make your food in front of you, which is always great. The portions are generous as you can see! They are located in a medical area near the museums. Service has always been great, it's fast and they accommodate any adjustments that you want to make to your order.

    We loved the fajitas with corn tacos and the fish tacos! Great to share. You order at the counter, get a number and seat yourself. Generous portions, hearty, and a college student favorite with beers and jugs of margarita!

    Great food at great prices! I am glad only one of us ordered the plate because it would have been too much food. We got chips and queso. Crunchy chips made in house. I ordered a quesadilla plate with grilled veggies and I had them add pico de gallo inside. It is served with a side of refried black beans and rice. He ordered a chicken Tinga taco and they asked do you want the plate. I am glad he only got a single taco because we had leftover. All for $22 before a small tip.

    Great spot to hang out with a very large group of friends! It can be very hard to coordinate last minute gatherings and Bodegas made it easy! The service was timely, the food was tasty and the interior was lovely and clean. I liked the ceiling lights that reminded me of the holidays! We were allowed to sit and eat and we're never rushed or hurried to finish and make room. Their takeout is equally good! I loved the taco bowl, though it was a bit difficult to eat at times. The fillings were really tasty as were the desserts. A good spout when you're craving Tex-Mex!

    Appetizer tacos, rice and beans
    Sabrina R.

    Needed a place to eat lunch before heading to Children's Museum and this place was super close. Walked up, ordered, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the chips and queso as an app and they were both delicious. As my meal I ordered the appetizer street tacos, which were just ok. The rice and beans were a small portion...and not just on my plate. The flavoring of the meat was also just ok. My friend's son ordered the chicken tenders and fries and really liked them. My friend ordered the pork plate and cleared his plate. If you're in the museum district and looking for a place to go, this is an ok spot.

    ##3 Shrimp Tacos
    Brianna M.

    I ordered my food in the car on the way to the Motown revue. the food was fresh and being made as I was walking in. The staff was very friendly and the casual environment made me comfortable to bring my folding chair inside as I was headed to the show. The salsa is definitely caliente but I love that and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. I had more than enough food and the charro beans and rice were a great addition. Thanks fir being a delicious mirage otw to the pavilion.

    I've passed by this place many times when leaving the park and always wanted to check it out. So this day I was at the building it was in and decided to get a breakfast taco. When I went in there were people in line like cafeteria style. They were telling the server exactly what they wanted on their tacos and the servers were moving fast. So I picked a flour tortilla with refried beans, eggs, and brisket. The second one was without the meat. Those tacos were SO yummy!! I will definitely be back for more! I also got their mango & pineapple lemonade and it was so good and refreshing!

    Beef fajita taco
    Christina M.

    So we picked up some tacos for lunch. They all had rice and beans and an array of tacos. These tacos were bland, looked like the beef fajita meat had been boiled then seasoned. The refried beans were like a soup. We weren't expecting this because of the long line and good reviews but this was a huge letdown. We won't be back unfortunately. This is not the standard for a Houston taco shop. I'm sorry I'm leaving this review bc I hate to do this to a business but the food quality has to improve

Overall, a fun, energetic spot serving very good food, with just a few minor details keeping it from being an exceptional experience. Saluti.

Neither one of us had eaten and we were both starving. We had decided that when I was released we would just go to the restaurant that was in the same parking lot as the facility. I had been to the restaurant before, had fajitas and they were served bloody raw and was just disgusting so I Never went back. We mentioned where we were planning to go to some of the staff members and they said do not go there and that it was too expensive for the type of Mexican food that they serve you. Then they all suggested Maria Rita's. My wife and I had never heard of it before so we asked where it was and it was located 2min down the street. When we got there it was packed, but we decided to thug it out and wait for a table, this also gave us time to troll the parking lot and land a killer parking spot as people left. We finally got the notice that our table was ready. The inside was clean, awesome and had a savory aroma mixed with a Smokey grill Oder that just made us even more hungry than we already were. We both ordered this dish that came with fajitas and bacon wrapped shrimp with a cheese sauce that was Truly Amazing! When I finally was able to take a bite of one of the four gigantic shrimp after I completely destroyed my fajitas, I thought that I was going to pass out from the ecstasy that the flavor profile from that shrimp that overwhelmed my senses! We both enjoyed our meal,(obviously) and I can't end this review without mentioning how attentive, nice and unexpected table side manor that the staff had displayed despite being overwhelmed with a full house crowd.

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
