    Papás con huevo taco and green salsa.
    C R.

    This is a hidden gem inside a gas station store. The breakfast tacos are excellent. The flour tortillas were handmade and delicious. Service is good and fast.

    Breakfast Taco w/ bacon, potato, chorizo, egg & cheese

    Not bad, not bad. The tacos were fairly big and good thing I order one taco. I had bacon, potato, cheese, eggs, and chorizo, but it doesn't amount to Soliz. It was still pretty decent. The bacon was super crispy which is a super thumbs up, I barely tasted the chorizo, the potatoes were not as soft as I expected, and the eggs are just scrambled eggs. The green sauce was a bland, but spicy so it pretty good. I also got the quesadilla with fajita meat for the next day and it was pretty good as well. They were stingy on the meat, and they put red and green bell pepper on one side of the quesadilla. (Odd) If and when I don't have cash for Soliz, this will be the next closest taco place next to my house.

    It's at the back of the gas station.

    I had this place bookmarked for awhile. I tried the special breakfast burrito. She asked if I wanted everything on it. Of course I do. So I'm sitting here eating it and it is way too many things inside. There's refried beans, eggs, sausage, cheese, bacon, fajita steak, potatoes, Pico de Gallo. It's in the back of a gas station and there were 3 ladies in the kitchen cooking. There is a set of tables they can seat 8 people. Their food is decent. Next time I will order something less complicated.. I will definitely try the tacos. They have a steady line of customers.

    Picture of the food area inside the Valero Gas Station. Only 1 table to sit at plus a counter with a few stools.

    I was totally looking forward to trying out this place... After reading some of the reviews I may have set too high an expectation! I stopped in for lunch since is was in the area. I went with the beef fajita and barbacoa and I have to say, it wasn't all that!!! Totally over rated! They were okay but NOT nearly as good as described. Especially since I just found an incredible taco truck the day before! I can't really describe the taste other than just okay. However, I would not be opposed to trying their breakfast burritos or taco! I don't think I would come back here for lunch as I was very disappointed. Sorry to all the Yelper fans of this place. I have to be honest!!!

    Beef fajita torta. $5.40, tax included.

    I stopped by to pick up a quick lunch of beef fajita torta from the walk up counter. The counter lady was all business, not a hello or a smile. My torta was done in less than 10 minutes. The fajita beef was tasty but little on the chewy side. The beef / bread ration was not balanced, not enough beef. At least the price was reasonable. I am on the fence whether to visit again.

    Bacon and Egg is the Best! The Bacon is super crunchy!!

I asked what they had, and he said burgers... which doesn't help me since I don't eat beef. I told him if they had chicken sandwiches, we could go. Not only did they have chicken sandwiches... they had SPICY chicken sandwiches. And whatever that sauce is? Delicious. This is one of those places where you can order at the kiosk or with the staff behind the counter... we went with the staff. Customer service from everyone was top tier. I loved how the whole team was engaged and actually providing real customer service. The vibe gives classic bar-and-grill energy, and the food? Really good. I didn't expect it to hit like that, but it did. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and a Dr. Pepper... and yes, the Dr. Pepper was on point too. Overall, the experience was great. I told my friend if I ended up liking this place, I was going to resent him... Well... resentment felt. P.S. The bathrooms could've used a little attention. They weren't the cleanest, but that was my only issue.

It was one of those first-bite moments where you just stop and look at your food like... wait. What is this magic? The bread was perfect, soft on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. The sauce was incredible, flavorful without overpowering everything else. And somehow they made the carrots taste amazing. Carrots! I don't know what they're doing back there, but it works. I paired it with a Vietnamese coffee and that sealed the deal. Rich, bold, slightly sweet, exactly what you want. Instantly, this became one of my favorite restaurants in the Houston area. I was so excited about it that I brought my kids back that weekend, only to realize they weren't open. Total heartbreak. So definitely check the hours before you make the drive, especially if you're not close to Stafford. I think I might be in love with a restaurant. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Second impression: Price was a bit higher than expected. Final impression: Food was delicious, flavorful, and portion size very generous. My husband and I really enjoyed The Nines. Yes, the first time we came the place was bustling and food took quite a long time to come out. However, they brought us water even though we were just taking to-go, that was very kind of them. Once we got home, the food was delicious! We were both impressed by how much veggies and meat were in our dishes. My green curry wasn't mostly curry but it was FULL of chicken, peppers, and bamboo. I wasn't just scooping plain curry at the end. This is such a different experience than most places. A few weeks later we came back with some friends and were not disappointed. My friend's 7 year old got a pad see ew by himself and it seriously looked like he hadn't eaten at all at the end of the (that's how big the portions were). My friend only ate half of his food too and said he didn't realize how generous the portions were. We all enjoyed our food and left satisfied. Yum! Highly recommend!
