I ordered the gordita with rice and beans on the side, and overall it was a solid experience. The gordita was a 10/10. Flavorful, filling, and cooked perfectly. The beans were also a 10/10, which honestly impressed me because beans can be hit or miss, but these were really good. The rice was probably a 2/10. It wasn't great, and I've definitely had much better Mexican rice elsewhere. Compared to the rest of the plate, it was the weakest part. The service was great. Very friendly and attentive. I also really appreciate how affordable this place is. My gordita with rice and beans came out to $11, which is hard to beat these days. The ambiance inside was great, and I noticed they even do karaoke on the other side of the restaurant, which is a really fun touch. The outside area is a bit rough around the edges, but once you're inside, the vibe is welcoming and comfortable. Overall, great food for the price, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. I would definitely come back. read more

I came for a late meal just before 11pm. There was music playing, a little loud, but not loud enough to have difficulty having a conversation. Occasionally, the do have a live band that can be very loud. Our server was sweet and attentive. I ordered the Street Tacos with Chicken Fajita. The meal was served with charro beans. This place is opened 24 hours on the weekend so it a great place to get good Mexican food after a late night. I've been coming to this place for years and have never been disappointed. read more

Brenda's Taqueria - Mango Margaritas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been coming to Brenda's since I was a teenager and I can confidently say this place is a consistent winner. The green and red salsa are some of the best in the city. The chips aren't made in house but the salsas are God level. I love all the breakfast dishes but my favorites are the Machaca and the Huevos Divorciados. Can't go wrong with any of their breakfast tacos. Their quesadillas are even better. My only skip is here is the enchiladas. Not my favorite. I will continue supporting this location till death do us part. read more

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. read more

Just because there are 24 hours and the food is "alright" for the price but back in the day, the food was hitting alot better.

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. read more

Brenda's Taqueria - Quesabirria Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

These people are so rude and inconsiderate... one of their employees started trying to kick me out of the bathroom while I was in the middle of going "number 2"... He kept rudely saying they're closed, but their posted hours on Apple Maps says it's 24 hours every day... so what gives?!?! Not everyone is going to check every single platform to verify the hours. It's THEIR responsibility to update all platforms to ensure accuracy of operating hours... What a rude prick. Makes me regret tipping over 20% percent, because I'm a decent person. But seems like they don't have even a shred of decency or class. He not only came into the bathroom to disturb me once, but THREE times rudely saying "CMON CMON!" I would never have even gone into the bathroom if they had their hours posted correctly, I'm not that kind of person. This is totally their fault and they have the nerve to complain to me?? Wtf. Not to mention, earlier in the night I tried playing music on their jukebox, but they had it muted so they could play their own music instead. Unprofessional pricks. Don't waste your money here, they'll treat you like garbage. I was willing to forgive the shitty food, but this situation really pissed me off... ‍‍‍ read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

I waited over 40 minutes for my food to come out and my cheese quesadilla was still so cold and unevenly cooked it made my soul weep. I've given this place so many chances, but I can't anymore man. At the end of the day it's not worth it for a late night bite. read more

I come to this specific Brenda's every now and then, as the location is conveniently located off Hwy 6 and Bellaire Blvd on my way home from work. The food is great and at their prices, it definitely beats having fast food. On occasions, the meats might be a little too salted or overcooked and the tastes of the salsas might vary depending on what peppers they used that day, but on average, the food is pretty good if you're in a mood for authentic Mexican cuisine. I usually order the camaron (shrimp) and fajita (beef) flour tacos, and they rarely ever disappoint taste-wise. The food is good of course, but that is if you're willing to wait a while for it. Don't come here if you are starving and expecting fast food. Whether it's empty or packed, expect to wait at least an upwards of 30 minutes for your orders to come out. On weekends when it's packed or there's some kind of event, don't be surprised if you waiting for at least an hour. The waiters and waitresses are nice, don't get me wrong, but it seems like they don't have enough of a staff to accommodate all their customers. If the wait wasn't so long, I would give this place a higher rating. The food is good but not worth the wait. read more

The service was horrible!!! None of the waitresses made any eye contact nor did they check on any tables. The only time they came to the table was when we first arrived and then to bring food so anything that was needed had to be asked for at those times or you had to get up to find someone and ask. They also spoke so little English that they got our orders wrong. After brought the food they never came back to ask if our food was ok like all other restaurants do. I am only giving it the one star that I did because the food was amazing!!!! Great food will never outlast horrible service. I'm sorry but we will not return. read more

I was on my way to work, and thinking that a taqueria is a perfect place to stop for breakfast tacos, I decided on this place. Boy that was a mistake. Perhaps eating inside the restaurant is good, but getting to-go and trying to eat in your car? Not a good idea! I went inside and was confused about where to go for a to-go order. A couple behind me knew they wanted to sit down, so they sat, and the waiter helped them first. I stood awkwardly at the front of the restaurant while the waiter asked the couple about what drinks they wanted. He then went to go get their drinks and seeing that he wasn't coming to the front to assist, I went to the back. I managed to catch him before he grabbed the couple's drinks. He then said, "Follow me," and we went back to the front of the restaurant. I placed my order for 3 breakfast tacos and waited 15 minutes even though there were only two tables in the restaurant (couple already there before me and then the couple who just sat down). It's a good thing I bargained a lot of time! I was charged for 4 breakfast tacos ($6). I thought the math was off, but I was in a hurry, so I didn't worry about it. I got into the car and realized they had made 4 tacos. Well, at least that's what I paid for, right? These tacos have got to be the WORST tacos for eating on the go. They're stuck together in a hot mess, and I was worried the oil would drip all over the place. The tortillas were hard as a rock, and the tacos were so bland I only ate 2 of them. Sigh! I marked this review "I've experienced better" because my favorite breakfast taco place is El Mexsal Taqueria near IAH. Brenda's Taqueria is the first breakfast taco place I've been where they don't individually wrap the tacos, which is better for portable eating. Even Pappas BBQ individually wraps their breakfast tacos and burritos. I probably will not return! read more

I've tried to eat breakfast at this location several times but the staff can't seem to get there on time. I eat at the location on Gessner quite often and really like several of their breakfast items. Unfortunately when I try to eat at this location, even though they're supposed to open at seven the staff can't seem to show up till about 715 or later. I've waited on them couple times, one time last week they finally showed up at 7:20 and told me it would be at least 15 to 20 minutes before the grill was hot enough to cook anything. I don't have that kind of time to sit around and wait for them when they are supposed be open ready to serve breakfast at seven read more

The service was mid they barely even came around for extra refills. Then it took them forever for the check to come. Now the food, my burrito was terrible, the meat was super undercooked with a terrible taste still in my mouth. The bathroom was a very clean and neat looking place it was very top tier. But it does not make up for the diarrhea that the burrito gave me. My fathers menudo reeked of bur rubber and my mothers tasted terrible so as my fathers. If I could i would give zero stars Brendas. if you see this they suck read more

Came in here with my sister for some good food & got treated very differently than all the other customers who are Hispanic of course. Came in before the other customers & they all got waited on before my sister & I, waitress literally purposely avoiding us. Good food isn't worth getting treated like crap. Don't come here unless you want to be treated differently for the color of your skin, or in other words,for being a human being. It's a shame the world that we live in.
