After dropping off my friend at the airport, I decided to check out this Mexican restaurant nearby called Cazares. They have this unique dish called the fried avocado. You have an option to get it stuffed with shrimp, crawfish etoufee, beef, or chicken. The waitress recommended shrimp so I went with that. They give you complimentary chips and salsa. I wish the salsa was less watery and more spicy but I still ate it up. They also give you a bottle of green salsa but that one wasn't that spicy either. I think I saw some tables have another darker red salsa but they didn't give me that one. The plate comes with som rice, refried beans, and 4 tortillas with your choice of corn or flour. The shrimp were huge and full melty cheese a good flavor. I basically made tacos out of bite of the fried avocado. Very creamy with a slight outer crisp, but it breaks pretty easily. After awhile it got harder to eat because of the richness of the avocado. This was a very heavy meal and put me to sleep afterwards read more

We were getting ready to get the H out of Houston, but the traffic (around 5) was crazy. So we decided to eat first, and was the place we chose. It's very colorful (literally) place inside, and it took a while before I could look away. Food and service were good. Chips and two salsas very tasty. Note: This was a draft, and I forgot what we had to eat. Probably a relleno if they had it, or a torta, my two go-tos. Mango margarita was very tasty (mango is one of my favorite fruits, and a cool surprise (literally). read more

This hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem in Houston. We started off with complimentary chips with 2 different types of salsa, a sign of good things to come. I ordered the steak fajitas, which came with a generous serving of rice, beans, guacamole, tortillas, and more. The steak itself was sizzling and well-cooked with perfectly grilled onions on the side. My dad ordered the pork chops, which were huge in size (think x3 pork chops worth). At around $20 for each entree, these lasted us multiple meals, a rare occurrence in a family of voracious eaters. Service was great, and parking was easy to find. All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for tasty Mexican food! read more

Went for a late night dinner. They were kind and the food was cool! If I'm ever in the area again, I'd revisit. read more

Get in where you fit in here!! There are two entrances (front and side). Seating is first come and first service basically. We learned the hard way, but nevertheless we finally got a table after "waiting" for our chance for 15 min. This place was packed and we went around 11am so be prepared. Diego was a life saver, he was very helpful and kept the coffee coming for me. Even though he couldn't take our order, he was so helpful and kind. Ok yall please order the pancake. I know it's weird, authentic Mexican food, Cajun seafood and pancakes!!?! Trust me, it all works!! Try it!! The pancake was my favorite part but the enchiladas did not disappoint. I will be back for sure!!! I love hole in the walls and I'm pretty sure this is family owned. My exit was so loving and kind from an Abuelita! Happy Yelping! read more

Fantastic hole in the wall restaurant! Their cheese enchiladas were really good. I am pescatarian, so their veggie beans option was their refried beans. The charro had meat in them. Wonderful service. Their green sauce in the tomatillo kind, not the other. Bright their green or red sauce were super spicy. They only have tequila drinks there, I wish they had rum for mojitos! read more

So, this is a hole-in-wall type place... my favorite kind of restaurant! Humble but really clean inside. The waitstaff are sweet, efficient, and attentive. I have always loved what I've ordered. These days I tend to get either the chalupas with chicken or the quesadillas with shrimp. Both make me drool, lol! Breakfast is also really good at Casa Rez. Go for breakfast or lunch or even an early dinner. The area gets a little sketchy after dark. Worth the trip EVERY time! read more

Roaches, cold food and rude service. Would NOT RECOMMEND! Yuck threw up so much and they overcharge. The prices on the menu are not the correct prices and there usually $3 more than it says on the menu. It's a scam, don't come here read more

Great prices. I used to be a regular here back 20 years ago. Food is good not great but definitely a value at the prices. Service gets a little distracted and loses touch sometimes. Overall good experience read more

A wonderful breakfast destination. Friendly staff. Great food, great service, great people!

Came looking for another restaurant in the area but couldn't find it so we came upon this hole in the wall not expecting anything really good but this place has great service and attitude. Casual, homely ambiance. Great sauces and chips. I absolutely loved the red sauce made molcajete style. Ordered the Grande special and let me tell you that you can't go wrong. So much food that 2 can eat from one plate. I truly recommend trying it. Everything made smells amazing. Homemade tortillas served. Waitresses are very friendly. I will be back to try other items. The sweet tea was perfect. They have adult mixed drinks too. Nobody rushing you out. Come give them a try. read more

Good food and good service. Sometimes their fajitas can be burnt, but other than that, good food.

I love their food! I go here once a month with my friends. The food is delicious. The staff are very nice. The margaritas are really good. I haven't tried anything that I didn't like. My friends & I always celebrate our birthdays here. The bathroom is always clean. read more

Our second time to try this place out and this time I tried their menudo (on a Saturday). I have to say it's hands-down one of THE BEST menudo in the greater H-town area!!! I got the large portion and boy-oh-boy... I had food coma after that! But in a good way! I definitely got my fill for menudo!! I love that they didn't go easy on the tripe. Maaaannn... that bowl was about 3/4 filled with it and I super love it! And that broth... hooo boy... y'all just go head down there and check it out as I'm now getting lost for words! Hubby ordered the 5 pc tacos and he cleaned the plate up. I wish I had some space in my stomach so I could've tried those too but that big bad bowl of menudo filled in every gap there is! Oldest kiddo got the chicken chimichanga and left only the refried beans and rice (he's not into those anyway). I tried to get some of his rice. But that menudo y'all.... I just don't have the space for anything else! Then youngest kiddo ordered the scrambled eggs and sausages. He ate it all up! And understandably so since he just got out of a swim meet. To add to that... their complementary chips were warm and crispy. Our server was extra attentive that as soon as we're down to the last 5 chips, she's back with another bowl. We probably pigged out on about 4 bowls of those chips. Oh... and that salsa... we mixed the tomato salsa with that green one. I seriously could drink that thing but damn this menudo!! I had to make tummy space for it! Ha! I'll be sure to get me more menudo when we're back in that general area again! And I'll keep ordering until I get tired of it (which I doubt I would)! read more

Place has a gnat problem. Couldn't even eat with so many gnats around. After one got into our chips and drink we got up and left. Worker there acknowledged they had a bug problem. Food was eh, we won't return. Health dept needs to pay them a visit. read more

This is always my go to spot for a great breakfast burrito. The egg, potato and cheese is to die for every now and then I get the fajita, egg and cheese but the green sauce will open all of sinus cavities but so good you can't stop eating it. The window attendants are great too always greet you with a smile and always say god bless you when you leave. I forgot to take pictures but trust me when I say you won't be disappointed read more

I went there to get the eggs your way with barbacoa everything in the plate was old and cold. Very disappointed I threw it away wasted money! read more

I've had this place saved for a couple years and every time I come home to visit I don't make it here. Well last week I was in Houston and they were available for delivery on Uber eats. I was genuinely excited and my friend had dined there once and remembered it to be good. We ordered street tacos, both types of seafood enchiladas and a side of guac and sour cream and cheese. We struggled a bit to order because everything on Uber eats was in Spanish but only some of the items had the English translation. I wasn't sure the flavor difference between the 2 seafood enchiladas, I even called to ask but the nice lady that answered couldn't understand me. My solution was to order both lol. When the food arrived it was packed extremely well and included a fresh bag of chips and plenty green and red salsa. Everything was there and the food was still hot after traveling to the galleria area. Overall it was good, not great. The refried beans and charro were fantastic (I love beans), the rice not so much. The enchiladas were both ok but we preferred the ettoufee version, both had a good amount of shrimp and crawfish. Tacos were standard. The food was indeed fresh and I believe if I dine in next time I would have an even better experience. There are so many Mexican food options in Houston but I can see why they are still around and thriving. read more

Food is always good...fresh and hot. Customer service is always friendly and they are always willing to correct anything that is not right. It's a go to for good Mexican breakfast. Flour tortillas are on point. We will back real soon. read more

Ooohh!!!! I can't say 1 bad thing about Casarez! They've been around for years. This place should be somewhere on DDD or Food Network. The staff is nice, the chefs are even nicer! The owners come out and make sure you are enjoying things. They are nice to you and treat you like family. The food is "Chefs Kiss". I love how they have their off menu specials and do not sleep on their specials; exquisite taste, large amount of food and good prices!! Great service to the community as well. They also offer catering. read more

Went to go out to try a houston restaurant week places ended up at this bookmark place in yelp damn near 5 stars for half of what I would have paid else where. Owner social with his guests and customer service forward. Best place! Had a food allergy to shell fish and did not realize there was a crawfish ettouffe topping. They brought it out I saw it mention my oversight and they gladly took it back to correct. Mexican with Cajun/Creole food great combo read more

As a Southeast Pasadenean... how did I miss this place? Y'all, Casarez is it! It is delicious! Chips and salsa were so on point we called our friend to join us.

We enjoyed the beer-itas (2 rounds of fire)! Although they weren't customizable they were great as they came. Can't wait to go back! read more

I visited this restaurant for this first time as I was in the area for dinner heading to a meeting. The chicken fajitas were ordered for $13.95 with charro beans and their homemade tortillas. The chips and salsa arrived and I thought they were very good (4). Chips were crispy and the red salsa had a good salty flavor like it's supposed to. Within 10 minutes the entree arrived. The charro beans were a 4 with onions and bacon in them. The platter had a lot of large chicken pieces with a lot of onions too. I was happy. The chicken was juicy and the only thing missing were some bell peppers but oh well. The 3 tortillas were fresh and with the cheese, guacamole and pico de gallo, I had everything I needed for a very good meal. Twice during the meal, the manager came by to check on me. Table service was very good. I like this place and would return if in the area. It has a nice neighborhood feel to it. read more

No fancy upscale dining room here. Just good food. We stopped for carry out lunch. The menu is comprehensive with everything from hamburgers to all the Mexican standards. A shrimp pasta special was featured on the blackboard. We selected the deep fried shrimp stuffed avocado based on recommendation of other Yelpers. This was possibly one of the best foods of all time. The avocado was huge and creamy, coated with a light crispy crust. Inside was a blend of large shrimp and cheese. You MUST try this. We also selected a tamale lunch special. Lunch special were served until 4:00. The tamales were filled with pork and topped with a hamburger filled red sauce. This was also very good. Both meals were served a generous portion of rice and beans. They also sent us home with fresh chips and salsa. I liked the chips a lot as they were not salty but light. There was a mild and hot salsa. Lots of food for under $20. Wow. The wait was short. I recommend highly. read more

First off the food options are bomb! I really enjoy the diversity of the menu and have had a positive experience every time I've picked up food or eaten there.

Service was not good and they choose how much you get to tip and don't tell you. A tip shouldn't be added by the establishment.

This place is kind of small but it has a great ambiance! The food was out fast and it was delicious. Fajitas were soft and juicy. The agua de melon was home made and super great! I think they were remodeling a bit some of the chairs were a little beat up and the bathroom was rough but I guess it was like Mexican house authentic you could say! I seen many like that when I visited in the past! Haha.. y'all check the place out tho!Carne Guisada Plate read more

I've been eating here for many years but first time to review. The servers are the friendliest and provide very proactive customer service. Everything on their menu is delicious; I find their menudo and carne guisada to be the BEST in town. Their breakfast options are varied and they serve a great cup of coffee. All their portion servings are very generous and a great bargain. Also, the ambiance is very family friendly and they always have all the sports being played on that day on their wall mounted TVs so you don't miss out while you are there. read more
