Food was delicious and seasoned well, our server forgot to bring us extra utensils like a knife and spoon so we had to flag someone else down. Those drinks are strong!!!! Good tho worth the hype read more

The shrimp tacos are delicious especially if you add their special Alfredo sauce to it. I love that they offer a lot of different options on their menu. I also love that they offer *soft serve* margaritas, peach Bellinis' & lemon drops. Be prepared for a long wait (1-2 hours) to dine in at both locations. The painted murals around the restaurants is great decor and pays homage to their late loved one "Dona Leti" read more

Went on a Friday afternoon around 6pm. We waited about 1hr before being sat. They did sit us near the bar and said there were 3 parties ahead of us if we wanted to sit elsewhere. I would suggest waiting because we sat under a drippy ac vent and kept getting bumped into by the food runners. The place is very loud but that was expected. They do notify you that you only have 1hr 30 minutes to order and eat. They honestly do time you even if the waiter takes forever to come back to take your order!! We saw the waiter about 2 times the whole dinner, so i recommend ordering everything at once!! Starter: *Surf & Turf Eggrolls: omg these were really good, only downside was that if you take long to eat they start getting greasy and soggy. It is a big portion! 8/10 Entrees: *Fajita Nachos: huuuuuugeee portion but they were honestly soooooo good! 10/10 *Fajita Torta: honestly tasted like any other torta, nothing really special, but nothing wrong with it 8.5/10 *Quesadilla Plate: HUGGGE portion 9.5/10 Drinks: *Soft Serve Lemon Drop Margaritas: you can ask for a small sample before trying. These were very delicious and refreshing. They were about $20 each. That being said, they were not strong and they melt in 2.5 seconds! 8.5/10 *Prickly Pear Margarita: presentation was nice but personally this wasnt for me lol. This drink was STRONG, like cheap liquor strong lol. This was $17 and honestly gets the job done if you're trying to get drunk. 6.5/10 *Lemon Drop Martini: (not pictured) DEEEELISH, they made it with love 10/10!! This was also a $17 drink. Dessert: *Tres Leches: omfg best tres leches i've ever had! It had a cinnamon taste so it kind of tasted like horchata so 10000/10! Overall Experience: 8.5/10 Pros: Tres Leches and portion size Cons: a smidge salty, long wait and loud read more

I heard a lot about this place and decided to come here as I was in the mood for Mexican. I will start by saying the parking sucks so I'd suggest you take an uber as it seems like they only have ten spots to park. Now I waited for a good little bit maybe 45 mins then was seated. The inside was cute as they had photo ops that in the restaurant for people to take pictures. The food would be ranked in my top five best restaurants in the city. I ordered the loaded fries and the portions were enough to feed two people. Everything was seasoned and hot. Service was cool but the drinks and lack of parking would be why they don't have five stars. I thought the drinks were overpriced and not strong. I'd come back for the food and would encourage you to try this spot. read more

Dona Leti's - Loaded fries - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food is always delicious here every time I visit! I'm actually shocked this is my first review! For the food I do wish the chips and salsa on the table came with the green salsa too! I do believe you have to ask for it but the chips are always very fresh! The food presentation is very much chefs kiss! THE SOFT SERVE DRINK! 10/10 Customer service is very nice here! Down to the photographers that will take your pictures. All waiters are very attentive! Very quick to ask questions. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice on the outside the colors attract many visitors! The inside is nice too. I do wish though if you sit at a table there was just a little more space between guest. Since wait times can be up to 4 to 5 hours long your time to eat is timed!! YES TIMED! which it's enough time but it does feel rushed. Parking can be a little hectic! I do feel like the workers take up space from guest! I'm not sure how they can make it easy for the workers. The parking is a little much! You may feel defeated like you will never find a space! Will I return!? YES!!! read more

This was my first time at Dona Leti's, and I had heard a lot about it, so I was excited to check it out. I was honestly a little nervous about parking, but I ended up finding a spot right away as soon as I pulled into the lot, which felt like a win. As soon as I sat down at the bar, I was greeted and given chips and salsa, which I appreciated. The space was pretty full with a line outside, but it did not feel overly loud or overwhelming, which made for a comfortable atmosphere. They have new soft-serve margaritas, so I got the strawberry mango swirl. It was really good. I do think adding an extra shot would take it from good to great, so I would recommend that if you can. The only downside was the price. At $21, it felt a bit expensive for a drink in Houston. For food, I had the birria tacos with consommé, rice, and all the fixings. They were good, but I would not say I was blown away. I would definitely come back and try something else next time. The menu is huge so you should have no problem finding something you like! The surf and turf egg rolls are already on my list. One thing I will say is the portions are huge. This is definitely a place where you can share, or plan to have leftovers for later. The staff was super nice and attentive, even though it was pretty busy, which I always appreciate. Overall, I had a good time and would come back to give it another try. I also know they have another location, so I would be interested in checking that one out as well. read more

Honestly, there's nothing to brag about here aside from the portion sizes. The presentation is nice, but the food itself is mediocre at best. While the cocktail décor looks great, the drinks were weak and underwhelming. The parking lot is chaotic. I was fortunate enough to snag handicap parking up front and find a seat at the bar, but I overheard the wait time was 1-2 hours. There's no way I would wait that long to eat anywhere. The restrooms are in need of a facelift, which was disappointing. Overall, there are far better Mexican food options in the area. read more

Two words: Big Portions. You can have a meal for a day or two with one entree here. I didn't know what to expect when coming here on a Wednesday afternoon but a 45 minute wait wasn't it. They offer happy hour tacos and beer before 5 so many that is why it was so busy. The place was packed and the wait was a bit long. Once seated I ordered tacos, chicken empanadas and my friend ordered tacos as well. Everything was delicious but on the pricey side. My drink an Aqua Fresca twisted was almost 20$. I had placed an order to go and had to wait an additional hour even though it was ready and they never texted me. As a first timer here I would say it was chaotic! The food was very good just a bit pricey but I would come again. Be prepared for the crazy weight tho. read more

Dona Leti's - Soft serve Mango Margaritas - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

While the wait is long, the wait was absolutely worth the wait. We ordered a few drinks (a bit higher end cost wise but the alcohol isn't lacking!) and took it to the car since it was offered and the waiting patio was full. The service with our waitress was nothing short of great. The food! It's all that you can imagine. Super large portions, as expected, so went home with way too much food. To do it again I'd skip the appetizer and order tacos à la carte. We got the chicken quesadilla, mini birria tacos, and Tijuana taco. Don't forget the green sauce bc that was so good even with the chips! The fajita steak is better than the birria in regards to flavor in my opinion but the consome was delish as a soup of its own for sure haha. (They also took a pic of us offering for purchase so be prepared for that - $20 in a frame). Clearly optional but can't pass up a great evening. read more

Ordered dinner since I've heard about this place many times from my brother. I got the same thing he usually gets which is a shrimp quesadilla with rice and beans. The tortilla was a little overcooked. It had more cheese than I prefer. However, it tasted good. The rice was good as well. I'm not a huge fan of beans so I didn't eat those. read more

We went here on a Saturday around 1 and were told there was a 2 hour wait. We walked to another bar nearby to wait it out so it wasn't too bad! Once we got a table, we tried the soft serve margs and they were delicious. So smooth and a good mix of tart, sweet, and spicy. And they def packed a punch! The food was pretty solid too, as was the service. The vibes were super fun! Everyone around was having a great time. For sure worth the wait and hype! read more

I can't believe I haven't left my review on here yet. Okay the first time I tried DL; I ate here 3x in one week. the first two days was back to back, and again with a friend. omg when I say that the flavor is all the way there, it is. I wish they will turn the level of the music down a notch, and provided chips when you have leftovers for to go. Parking is limited and they provide comp valet that works for tips, which is a plus. read more

I've been wanting to try Dona leti's for a very long time now. My boyfriend & I were craving tex-mex and decided today was the day! The wait was 45 minutes which was expected considering the lines outside and how packed it was inside. I ordered the queso-birria tacos and my boyfriend got the surf-turf burrito. We thought the food was good. Nothing spectacular. The chips and salsa were good as well. Also, our server was very kind! However, it took almost an hour to get our food (tasted kinda cold) and the table booths felt very dirty. I do not think this place is worth the hype or the time you spending waiting here. The food is like any other Tex-Mex place in houston. read more

Dona Leti's!! We visited Dona Leti's on Saturday, November 29. The wait was about 20 minutes, which was perfectly fine because it gave us a moment to sit and relax. Once seated, our waiter brought out chips and salsa. We placed our order, and to start I went with a Tequila Sunrise. I don't drink beer, so I skipped the Corona Sunrise. For my meal, I ordered the Sizzlin' Asada Carne and it truly came out sizzling, which I loved. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked really well. I added flour tortillas and all the fixings, and everything came together perfectly. The inside of the restaurant was painted very nice. I love the background and graffiti painting. Overall, I rate Dona Leti's a solid 5/5. Our waiter was super nice and the food was great. Would I return? YES!! Anytime I'm in town! read more

My fellow co-managers and some of our administrative team went out to eat here during lunch last month. I've only ordered beef fajita street tacos before via DoorDash. The beef fajita street tacos with corn tortillas came in a pack of 5 and was loaded with meat. On the side, it had grilled onions and one grilled jalapeño. It was so good with the lime and hot sauce. I would order this again. I pass by Doña Leti's every day on the way to work when I'm at my Spring Branch office. It's an awkward location when you're coming from the opposite direction. You have to take a u-turn. It is a very short space between those turning right from the I-10 exit and the entrance to the valet or parking area, if you can find a space. The hotel has blocked off spaces that will tow, so be mindful of that. The valet is by tip. It's inconvenient because once they pull your car they have to go back out the street into that limited space, and you still have to do the same to exit. With the cars turning right or going straight, you have to wait a while. Tabatha was our server. She told us we had a 2-hour dining limit. We weren't planning on staying that long because work, but she was so attentive and personable. One of our admin team members ordered shrimp enchiladas, and she brought out the 2 sauces for her to try first before selecting. Everyone enjoyed their food. I decided to try something different, so I had their birria taco plate which was loaded with meat. It came with rice, beans, bacon-wrapped jalapeño and a consommé with ramen. I didn't like this entree as much as the beef fajita street tacos. The rice was kind of sticky and lacked flavor. The birria tacos were a large portion, so I ate one and took the rest to-go. After a while, everything just tasted salty. Their chips and red and green salsa were the best. I could snack on that all day. Their French fries are ok with a little crispy texture to it. Despite the horrible location and parking situation, I would come here again for tacos and the great service. I know our admin team member would want to come back for her birthday lunch here. read more

Go big or go home. When they say everything is bigger in Texas, Dona Leti's definitely contributes to that saying. Amazing Tex-Mex experience. Parking and wait times can be a challenge. They have valet or you can try to self park. Came through during a weekend dinner rush and had to circle the parking lot a couple times before securing a spot. Put our name down and was told the wait time was 2 hours! I had to see it through though as this place has been touted to me before on many occasions. While waiting we got some drinks, they're big, fun, and strong! Finally got seated, service was great. Started off with the dip trio to sample their guac, queso, and corn dip. Loved it, my favorite was the queso. The homemade chips were also much better than standard tortilla chips. For the main I went for the Texas Burrito w/ a cheese crust. Holy smokes, this thing was massive. I can eat, but this burrito was maaaasssive. Greasy from the cheese crust, but if you're a cheese lover, you'll probably drool over this. I don't even want to know how many calories I consumed, definitely can be shared if you only have a modest appetite. Would 100% order again, but not something I can eat everyday or else my arteries would probably clog up. This is tex-mex to the extreme! The ambiance is great, a couple birthday parties were happening and they got the crew coming out to celebrate like someone just ordered a bottle at the club. Free birthday shots! It's a vibe here at Dona Leti's, would definitely recommend for those wanting to experience some amazing tex-mex! read more

October 15, 2025 Drove in from Galveston for a concert in sugarland and this was pick for dinner Had the cheese enchiladas (fantastic, so cheesy)) TEXas burrito... that THANG is HUGE!! I had to try it just because of what was in it. It had 3 proteins, steak, shrimp and chicken in one half of it with rice and refried beans. Then the other half had 3 proteins with hot cheetos and FFs! I'm like... let me see try monster. LOL! Needless to say, we had lots of leftovers Had a strawberry lemon drop martini... so tasty and they made it pretty. Salsa and green sauce was great, too read more

This was my first time at Dona Letis and overall it was pretty good. It's definitely more Tex Mex vibes. I was hoping for more of that classic carne asada flavor, but it came out more like steak fajita style. Not exactly what I had in mind, but it wasn't bad at all. We went during happy hour, so my tacos and drink were a really good deal. I added a side of beans and rice to pull everything together, which helped round out the meal. Now let's talk about that frozen prickly pear margarita because that was the real star. So refreshing, super delicious, and honestly you could barely taste the alcohol. Dangerous in the best way. I went with friends and none of us actually finished our food, but we definitely finished two drinks each. Everything else went home in to go boxes. Great service our waiter Marie was amazing! read more

We had Sunday funday, it was a little late in the day but always a wait. They told us 1 hour and yes it was about that time, it's great that you can track yourself in line. We sat on patio and they brought out ice cold water such a great thought and then the waiter brought out chips and salsa but we were next in line so we opted out. The weather was not as hot as it could be, but hot nevertheless. Food was amazing and the server checked on us often. We watched the game which also an added plus. The manager stopped by to see if all was well. The only downside they own the whole parking lot but it's still so much confusion with self parking. read more

Wanted to see what the hype is about., there's a TikTok video about this being the best burrito in town. But it didn't meet my expectations., it was super dry but yes big portion but there was very little to no avocado. I had to add a bunch of salsa so it can have some extra flavor and moisture. I can see a late night indulgence and maybe some drinks with friends. But not a restaurant built for a family friendly atmosphere. More doesn't mean better, it was okay at best. read more

Taco bout taco Tuesday! I had a craving for tacos and ended up there on a taco Tuesday with a friend. Definitely come early and try to make a reservation or get on the waitlist in time. The place is super popular and they give you a limited amount of time on Tuesdays because of it. I had the al pastor tacos and a fabulous Mexican mule. The girls at the bar were so kind and even gave me a Tamarindo garnish they use for other drinks to try!!!. The food was really great and the vibe was very urban street mex. The DJ was rocking it too that evening . Parking can be a bit tricky but patience is key. Surely a good spot to get a good bit and some great drinks!the al pastor tacos were good fyi read more

First time in Texas. A friend recommended this place. I liked the menu for all of the Mexican cuisine. My go to is usually Birria tacos when I'm home. So why not try it in Texas. These were BY FAR the biggest & best Birria tacos that I've ever had. I wish I could have some right now as we speak. The mixed drinks were also huge and cute for a photo op. My mango margarita was good. The only complaint that I have is that it wasn't as hot as it usually is in Texas but the air conditioning and fans were on full blast so it was too cold for my entire table. Other than that I would highly recommend! read more

I've had my fair share of Mexican food in Houston, and this spot easily tops the rest! Every dish I tried was absolutely delicious, even the chips and salsa were so good that I had to take some home. The portions are incredibly generous, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. The drinks? Strong and flavorful. I ordered the Liquid Marijuana cocktail along with the bowl, and both were fresh and perfectly made. On top of that, our server was fantastic, and the restaurant had a vibrant, clean atmosphere. Since this is their newest location, there was plenty of parking. We visited on a weekday, but if you're planning to go on a weekend, I'd recommend making a reservation, it's bound to get busy. Highly recommend this place! read more

The wait was about an hour but I don't regret it! This is one of those places that doesn't look flashy but delivers where it matters. There's an interesting neon sign that caught my eye though lol.

We were a party of two. The wait for a table for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Once seated, we sat directly under a vent blowing full blast and in front of a large industrial size mobile air conditioner also blowing full blast. It was freezing cold. We asked several times if the intensity of the air conditioning can be reduced and were told no (only the temperature). Either way, I assume enough people complained about being cold because by the end of our meal, someone managed to turn the A/C down. We noticed because our paper towels were no longer flying all over the place. Outside of that, we had a very nice server and the food was excellent. Every single item was amazing, our meals had so much flavor. Very large portions. Perfect for the price. We were each only able to eat one taco. We ordered two desserts because they looked small on the pictures. However, they were huge. The banana pudding has cookies in every bite (just like how I like it). The fried Oreos were amazing! The drinks are strong. Will definitely be back (with a jacket). read more

This has quickly become one of my go-to spots for authentic, flavorful Mexican food. They blew up on Tiktok and you will see just why when you visit. The menu is overloaded with several tasty options but I always bank on their Birria Taco Place. I love the decor, strong drinks, service is always friendly and efficient, however the wait time can exceed over an hour on busy weekends. Valet is optional but parking slots fills up fairly quick. Speaking of BUSY... Congratulations to Doña Leti's for acquiring the former Denny's location next door to expand their space!!!! This smart move not only speaks to their growing popularity but also shows their commitment to enhancing the guest experience by reducing wait times and accommodating more diners. Well-deserved! I cannot wait to visit the new location. read more

It's not the same like Pappasito's fajita quality but close to it , the Birras tacos are top notch and what is famous here for with the Ramen in that consume dip sauce, you can stick to that if you cannot decide on what to get because there are better places for tender high grade fajita skirt steak that can be better but it is decent on the price range like $19 for fajita quesadillas but I feel the meat is matching the price appropriately, oh don't go here to expect a good seating experience because it's very tight small space restaurant that can be challenging to find a parking spot and to eat comfortably , I always order take out so you can get more privacy and a lot of space so you don't have to worry of something flying into your food . read more
