Food was just ok. Reviews were off! Why use that fabuloso crap next to me when im eating? IDGAF that yall are close to closing. I don't need that smell all up and around me trying to eat. A big let down!! Consider this a zero star rating. read more

Food was soo yummy. We ordered 5 burritos (3 fajita, 1 pastor, 1 barbacoa), a chicken flauta plate, and a mini taco plate. We all loved the food. The burritos are HUGE! So price:portion ratio is so good. Only thing tho, their drive-thru was down. There was a paper posted that told us to call a number to order which was a big inconvenience for us. The parking lot is quite small and made us hard to navigate to find a parking spot. The restaurant was packed! Which is good! Service was great they brought our food to our car since we had ordered over the phone due to the drive-thru being down. read more

Food was OK, the pork Carnitas was the best item that was picked out of the eight of us that was there. My wife had to get Diablo shrimp. She liked it. She was great. They didn't waste no time taking care of our table getting the food out very friendly. Ambience is good inside kind of a sketchy neighborhood though. read more

Ate here four days on my 8 day trip. Our hotel was nearby and I brought a group of high school robotics students with me. The parking lot was packed the first day around lunchtime but they found seats for the 11 of us pretty quickly. The portions were huge. The chips and salsa that comes to the table is fresh and delicious. The horchata was huge and refreshing. I had it three times! Service was friendly and quick. Everyone enjoyed their food and on future visits, the kids looked forward to getting takeout or dining in. The cashiers were friendly and asked about how the robotics team was doing. It was nice that they remembered me. Definitely missing Don Rey now that I'm back in Hawaii. read more

Called in a pick up order. When I pull up to pay there was an addition to my order I didn't ask for. Before noticing, I asked how much chips and salsa would cost and he initially said $1.99. When I called out the order was incorrect he removed what I did not ask for but then charged me $2.99 for something he'd already told me was $1.99. Called him out on it again and he looked annoyed and charged me 199 what he originally said. Bit of an attitude reminds me why I hate going to this establishment. read more

First time here 06-06-2025 and will never be back. Waitress Queta V. charged my card twice for two separate amounts. Waitress told me she would refund me and that I would get my money back in a few business days and never happened. Called 06-12-2025 for an update, allegedly spoke to a male manager who promised me a refund or restaurant credit. Went in person on my lunch break to then speak with Demly the manager. She requested proof, I showed her the bank charged as well as with the ONE recipe of the incorrect charge and was denied my refund. She then called her Manager Mundo and also said he couldn't refund me my money. I am a paying costumer; I work for my money. I felt this was unfair and very unprofessional. I don't recommend this place if you're okay with errors and no refunds for you own funds. Thank you, Priscella. read more

Service was pleasant. Tamales were very dry, it may have helped with a sauce or chili on top. Husband had an enchilada plate . He said it was okay . Others at our table said that their food was okay yet expensive. read more

The food was great but the service wasn't. We didn't see our waitress again after we ordered. I ordered the Mexicans Platter with ranch for the salad. It was great. My boyfriend ordered the torta with pastor and that was amazing. We would 10/10 recommend the food, there was just a lack of customer service. Try a to go order! You won't be disappointed. read more

If you eat here, you have no tastebuds. They really tried serving me ROTTEN AVOCADOS. It's literally the first thing you see when you open the box I'm literally so disgusted. Who thinks that okay to just put on there and serve to someone? Never again. I had to throw it all out and get a refund. That's really pushing it. read more

This place need management! Food is just spicy salty food. Food have no presentation. Small portions on the to go orders. A fly on my rice :( I'm not lying! I know is sucks for a restaurant but happens even on the beat place. Bacon on the rancheros beans was poor. Mediocrity Food that's all. Not clean, everything looks old. Sorry, my first time on this place but never again. Lo siento hermanos latinos pero es solo mi critica. read more

Don Rey Mexican Restaurant - birria tocos, Guacamole 4oz, chips, cheese. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came across this place road tripping to California from Florida. It was an easy place right off the highway and I was starving so anything would have been great....except this place. I found a short thick black hair in my barbacoa taco (which consisted mainly of fat) and my appetite was pretty ruined after that. The chips were probably the only decent thing I had - but don't try the salsa because it is tasteless and seems like they used rotten tomatoes. Maybe it was just a bad day but I felt I needed to warn others passing by. Try to find a better place if you're passing through and save yourself the time and money. read more

I was on a field-sampling event that day and happened to be in the area. I was unfamiliar and didn't know of anything nearby. I consulted Yelp and Don Rey had pretty good reviews. A coworker and I went in and luckily I know some Spanish! Ha! I think they speak English too, but it's pretty authentic. The food was AMAZING. If I am ever in the area again, I would DEFINITELY go back! We ordered different fajita plates and we were both pleasantly surprised and SOOOOO happy! Also, the horchata is delicious and not expensive at all. read more

Came here once again with my hubby. Food is always delicious and fresh. We did wait a few minutes to be seated. Our waitress was very rude and she was rushing us to order. The food is thumbs up, but every time we come here, they always have an attitude. The waitresses are always huddled up towards the back talking to each other. The only person who is friendly is the guy who is at the register. He's kind of buff. He's always smiling and has a friendly look on his face. The only reason we keep coming is because the food is A1. read more

I do think this is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Houston. The parking lot was full so we knew it was great tasting! BUT, to our surprise we did not wait for a table. The service is outstanding. We never wanted for anything. Admittedly, we speak enough Spanish to get by, but they speak English too. Andrea was our server. She was excellent. Accurate with our order and attentive to our requests. I love the old school feel as for roughly 1 hour on Friday night they had mariachis. They sounded terrific! The most outstanding thing of all was the taste of their food. I have lived in Texas for 60 years, SO I KNOW TEX-MEX! We were over off of I-10 and stopped in this place. I have eaten at more TexMex restaurants than I am afraid to admit. Don Rey on I-10 had the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in this city. First of all, their green sauce and red salsa were outstanding. It was all I could do not to fill up on chips and green sauce. The chips are "old school" DELICIOUS! I usually get the combination plate, so I can only comment on crispy tacos, tostadas and cheese enchiladas. They put plenty of cheese on everything, the sauces are so sabroso (tasty) and the meat on the taco and tostada was plentiful and delicious. I had fajita beef. Lots of lettuce and tomato and I ordered extra onion. My brother had a delicious margarita. I did not drink as I wanted to eat my food. As it turned out, there was so much food that I took 1/2 my plate home! BTW, the leftovers were just as good today! Please stop by this place! It really was delicious and reasonably priced. It is what I consider the best if not some of the best Mexican in all of Houston! read more

Everything was good that we ordered. Wish the green salsa was spicy like they use to make it before.

The food here is cheap and I do not do well with cheap or expired things. I have a sensitive stomach and I've been 3 times to give them a chance. Once I was drunk and the other two times sober. Fell ill every single time. Never going again there are better places to go to. read more

Authentic Mexican cuisine. Some of the staff speaks little to no English but they're friendly and attentive. Food is real deal and good. It's a little dicey, but that adds to its charm. Worth checking out. I only wish that the salsa was spicier. read more

Service wasn't good we waited about 15 min just to get our drinks. Chips and salasa were good. Gordita de fajita was very dry. Tacos de pastor were good. read more

This is an average from our entire order, the chilaquiles had a bit sour, the meats were delicious, the caldo de res was really good (hard to mess up) but the torta de milanesa was tasteless. I love tortas de milanesa and by far this has been the worst one I've ever tried. The jugo de naranja was good because it's freshly squeezed oranges. Doubt I'd come back anytime during my vacay. read more
