    I havent had that great of a service in a long time. Our waitress brought refills before we even asked and always checking in with us with such authentic kindness. In a lot of places it always tends to be awkward asking for to go boxes but our waitress was so willing to help us with providing everything we need or want to take with us without seeming like we were a burden. Food was also really good. It was moist and flavorful! Tomato sauce really felt homemade in such a great way.

    Popped in to kill some time because my friends were gonna be late to dinner at another location and this pop in made me realize how much of a staple cyclone is! I only had an espresso martini but it was great and so were the chips and salsa! Sometimes an unexpected visit will make you remember how good and simple and establishment is! Service is always a 10/10

    Amazing cyclone margarita !
    Mary B.

    Recently went back to cyclones and they still got it! Lol the margaritas are in point! This time we ordered the fajitas , I added an order of bacon wrapped shrimp, it came with rice , beans and the fixings for your fajitas! The meat was juicy and tender absolutely delicious! We also had, the chips and queso , and the steak quesadillas!! Everything was delish! We had a fun amazing waitress I just loved her , she called me chula and made my day lol her name is Marlene be sure to tip her , she is super sweet and knows her margaritas. Honestly just order the strawberry house .. you won't regret it , just don't drink and drive, call an Uber and make it home safe. These margaritas pack a punch , make you realize hey I really can dance, lol just not on top of the table yall! Lol if you do take pics and share. Okay that's all bye!

    Dining at Cyclone Anaya in Houston was a truly transcendent culinary experience that left me in awe. The service, led by the exceptional server Monique Davis, was impeccable and attentive, elevating the entire experience. The food, including the my mahi mahi tacos, was a masterpiece crafted with love, passion and meticulous attention to detail.

    Enchilada Trio Dinner
    Forest B.

    This was my first visit, but likely not my last. I liked the friendly service, the restaurant design and the food. I settled on the Enchilada Trio after discerning that the chef did offer my favorite, ...chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce. As a concession, the waitress brought a serving of sour cream on the side. The trio consisted of a carne molida enchilada (ground beefy goodness), a chicken tinga enchilada (shredded chicken and tomato spiciness) and a nice cheese enchilada. All were covered in a savory red sauce that made me forget about sour cream sauce (at least for the duration of the meal!) I washed the enchiladas, rice, beans and tortilla chips down with a Crawford Bock. Good food, good drink and good service, ...another safistying Sunday dining experience with family.

    Carne Asada

    Nino is the best! The carne asada and house margarita were great as well! I will be coming back.

    Fairly certain we were at this location while visiting relatives. Very solid meal and enjoyed by all. The best thing was the attentive and sweet waitress. The chips and salsa was liked by all. Hubby and I both got brisket meals (I got tacos and he got enchilada) as it was somewhat unique to us. Kids got a huge portion of fries with their chicken tender kids meal they shared. Fries were super good. Margarita was good too. It was very lively on a Saturday night. We enjoyed the decor, company and food. Recommended!

    Chilaquiles Verdes

    It wasn't my favorite dish because of the heaviness. I liked it at 1st but not the more I ate it. However, the staff were really friendly and they made accommodations for us to have mimosas! They also did a promotional deal to take off $10 from your order if you sign up for membership! It was such a steal! Interior was a typical tex Mex place with more wooden furnishings and pictures on the wall telling the story of the founding of the restaurant chain.

    Camarones Bomba Tacos w/ Grilled Vegetables & Rice
    Erin W.

    Our server was so amazing, very attentive, and patient with us as we had to wait on the other half of our party for a bit, but he didn't rush us at all! This was my first time at this Cyclone Anaya's location and I think it may have been my favorite experience. I ordered the Ultimate margarita on the rocks, strong but so good 9/10. For entrée I got the Camarones Bomba Tacos and wow it was hard to stop eating these even though I was full! The batter on the shrimp was perfect, light and crispy plus the sauce on them was divine definitely 10/10! Atmosphere was great as always, a little quieter too since we came on a Wednesday. Highly recommend and will be back!

    Very helpful service I went right when they open on Thursday and had excellent service. I ended up choosing the Thursday special OK so yall check this out you know how you be so hungry and then when the food get here you take that bite and you be like dang I'm full lol that's what happen to me so you know I took my food to go and cuddle up with my food.

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!

Margarita 4/5- Good and strong very limey and nice tajin rim Charro beans 3/5- Pretty mid flavor like just basic. And they came out lukewarm warm teetering on cold. I've had way better. Fajitas 3/5- I really wanted to love these. They look great and the cook was perfection but the flavor was super plain. I felt the need to add salt.... My partner agreed too. Not good. I won't be back but I appreciate it for what it is!

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!

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.
