    Bistek a la Mexicana
    Kayla H.

    We always come here as a late night meal cause they're open 24 hours, but the service is always so good! The servers are so nice and super understanding! The food is also delicious and has never disappointed us. The inside is very spacious and has lots of seating. For anyone looking for a late night spot and delicious authentic Mexican food I would definitely recommend this place! :)

    Mango Margaritas

    Food and drinks were delicious. Service was friendly and speedy. ttffYet they also allow you to enjoy your food. Ambiance was like any other Mexican restaurant but 24 hours!

    Wilted brown lettuce- yuck!
    Cynthia J.

    Hey. Why did you all give a customer a sope de res with brown wilted lettuce and tough and dry ground beef? I was looking forward to the sope because I so love them. It was really a bummer to open the container and the first thing I'm hit with is wilted lettuce. That's pretty gross. I then went on to look at the rest of the dish and the avocado was okay, the tomato was okay, but the beef was tough and dry and the masa was fried and oily. It's okay that the masa was fried but it was oily. If it wasn't oily it would be pretty good.My My boyfriend took one look at it and it went straight in the garbage. I wouldn't even feed that beef to the feral cats in my community. Wow, I had a taste for sopes and a big bummer that this one was so bad. 1 star for decent avocado, tomato, and the sodas we received were cold.

    I got caldo de res and the meat looked suspicious.
    Anna B.

    I got caldo de res and the meat loooked suspicious. Greyish streaks. I texted a friend just to make sure if I should eat it or not. This is breakfast and I was hungry but I don't want to risk it. The first piece of meat had a weird smell and I was second guessing myself about it, but when I saw this I decided to ask my friend. Now wait staff aren't going to dig through food like soup to check meat inside of opaque broth before serving. That is on the kitchen. And if they are getting bad meat, don't serve it. If it looks like you wouldn't eat it don't serve it The waitress came back with google translate saying the meat came looking like that, but it's good. It shouldn't be on her like that. Also. No shame in using our phones when there is a language barrier. That was great! I appreciated it. Service is great. Kitchen idk if I can trust them with meat. Or meat that is either in or covered by stuff and not immediately visible when served. Horchata is great btw. Not sus. This could also be a supply chain issue in which case their supplier could have poor ethics, giving supplying meat they already know is bad or on the way out. I might just get a large horchata next time or like idk egg based breakfast dishes. I like soup for breakfast.

    Quesabirria Tacos
    Alána R.

    The service was great, immediately sat and brought chips and salsa . I enjoyed the quesabirria tacos so much that I returned the very next day for the same thing and couple house margaritas. They even had karaoke the second night!!

    Fajita quesadilla
    Amy B.

    A nice hole in the wall restaurant that's open 24/7. Don't judge the place by it's red salsa. You might want to push that away and just go for the green. The red salsa tastes watered down, but the green salsa was packed with flavor and hard to resist. The fajita quesadillas were decently portioned and stuffed with cheese, which I loved! I was pleasantly surprised by their refried beans. I am typically not a fan of refried beans but theirs may change my mind! The service wasn't the greatest but the food makes up for it, in my opinion.

    Brenda's Taqueria có nhiều món ăn ngon của Mễ, thịt bò ngon tuyệt vời, đặc biệt thức uống Margarita Mango đông lạnh từ Mexico rất đã say. Nhiều người sẽ hỏi Margarita là gì? Dạ thưa, đó là một loại cocktail nổi tiếng trên toàn thế giới... Loại cocktail này là sự kết hợp giữa rượu Tequila với Triple Sec hoặc Cointreau hay bất cứ loại rượu nào có hương cam nào khác cùng với nước chanh tươi. - add: 6803 S Texas 6, Houston, TX 77083 - Local guides: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yuq6woYKexFuqW3K9?g_st=ic - video: https://youtu.be/FKxBHkBKbu8 - www.youtube.com/dinhthanhhai

    Just moved to this side of town and was looking for a new taqueria. Think this one will definitely be added to my list. I'm pretty picky about fish tacos, but the ones I had here were the bomb! The fish was blackened perfectly and the chipotle cream on top was really good. Black beans and rice were standard. They have a large menu so definitely want to try their Mexican street tacos next time. Also they have churros!!! I was too full to try them today, but next time I'll try those too.

    I just went here today early morning at 2am 04/05 and I order pork rice , not really sure how to say in spanish , and found this one on it , a pork piece with white little thing on it ................ Cant say anything so disappointed

    Large chicken quesadilla
    Chris H.

    Came here on a Monday night at 11pm. Love how it's open 24/7. Service is friendly. Food is decent. Prices are reasonable. I got the large chicken quesadilla and 1 al pastor taco. My friend got the Barbacao Torta and 2 tacos. The tacos were cheap at 1.89$ a piece but very average. The al pastor taco was dry and bland. The quesadilla was simple and hefty. Plenty of chicken and cheese. Never can wrong with a quesadilla. I also got a few bites from my friend's torta. Pretty good! Loved the bread. Everything also came with a side of unlimited chips and salsa. Overall, a great, late night Mexican restaurant. Definitely worth a visit after 10pm when most restaurants in the area are closed.

    Gave this place a second chance and once again it disappointed me at its fullest. I looked over the menu for a kids quesadilla plate which said $4 And this is what I got. My child was starving she has already eaten half of her quesadilla. I was ripped off $12.00 for this crap and one small drink. Never coming back.

    Fajita quesadilla was the bomb. That's it. No but seriously. I ordered the chicken burrito. Cow tongue burrito. Cow tongue taco. Seasoned pork taco. And fajita quesadilla. Not really that impressed with any of them except the fajita quesadilla. Lots of hot sauce. The cow tongue was prob the most disappointing. I love cow tongue "lengua" . But noooooooooooo. Too big of peices number one. Cut it damn smaller. Or the lingering taste never leaves!! The pork was a bit salty. Chicken burrito had weird texture and not enough flavor. Seriously. Fajita quesadilla. Mad good. Like daaayyyuumm.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

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!

On one side was a family with three young children playing a loud game involving frequent shouting and slapping on the table. There was intermittent drumming which the parents were oblivious to. On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent. Our server offered chips to accompany the Tiradito but she never brought them. Overall, the evening was disappointing. Between the unwelcoming reception from the dour hostess, noisy seating arrangement and lapses in service, the experience was far from enjoyable. Could not wait to leave.
